ular still. 1t will be THE WOMAN's
DAILY GLOBE of POOP, and will show
that women are running the govern
ment, the stores, the mills, etc., etc.,
while men are doing the work women
now do. 1t will be bright, witty and
amusing. Everybody will want THE
SUNDAY GLOBE, August 81, to read it.

The first Republican rally, under
the auspices of our Blaine and Logan
Club, was held at the Island Pond
Hall last Friday evening, and was one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
political meetings ever held here. The
speaking commenced at o'clock, ev-
cry seat being occupied. Mr.. N. Hob
son, president of the club, presided,
and introduced the speakers. The first
speaker was the Hon. Geo. NJ. Dewey,
of Owosso, Michigan, who spoke some
over an hour, dwelling chiefly upon
the tariff question. lie gave full his
tory of the tariff legislation from the
foundation Of the government. The
same issues that now divide the two
great parties being the same as those
fought between the Wing and Demo-
cratic party before the formation of
the Republican party, and the record
shows that the Democratic party has
always been the champion of free
trade. Under the protective legislation
of the Wings the country prospered
and people found employment; but
as soon as the Democratic party OBJ
TUNED control of the government, the
protective duties were repealed, and in
every instance this legislation was fol-
lowed by great financial depression.
Various statistics were given in sup
port of the speakers statements. Mr..
Dewey was frequently applauded and
his remarks were we'll received.
Hon. w. P. Dillingham; was next in
troduced. Those who in former years
had listened to his father, ex-Gov. Dill
lingham, expected much from this
"chip of the old block" and they were
not disappointed. Mr.. Dillingham;
showed how England has had protec.
ton, but in all her history her protec-
ton had been to Capital. In no in
stance had England protected Labor.
; The whole legislation of that govern.
ment had been, to a great extent,
against the interest of the laborino
man. In conclusion he appealed to
the voters not to support a party
whose principles are the same as those
of Great Britain, for should that party
be successful next November, these
same principles would be adopted
and the result would be the same. Mr.
Dillingham; is an eloquent speaker
He commanded the close attention Of
his audience, and at the close of hi:
speech was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Dillingham; was followed by Col
j. G. Crawford, late U. s. Consul al
Coaticook, Pc. His familiar acquaint
ance with our people and the indus
tries of this section, and the able man
ner in which he handled his subject
made " the last the best of the feast
The Colonel's apt illustrations, anG
"partly" his stories, kept the audience
in an uproarious laughter, and a.
times it was difficult to decide which
occupied the most time, his speech, OF
the cheers and applause that greeted
it. When the Colonel had concluded
three cheers and "tiger" were given
for Blaine and Logan, the speakers o.
the evening, and Gen. circuit. TIE
meeting was success in every par
ticular.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The bucks of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket The
keystone SilycrWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

The Republican majority for town
representative years ago was %, and
the election witnessed an unusual oc
currence in that no SANDER was void
ed, no dirt thrown, nor was society
outraged 10y personalities. The candi-
dates then were S. d. Hobson, the pres
ent nominee for county senator, and
G. ". Noyes. That we may have such
a manly, straight and honorable con-
test this year, all will say amen.

AS mentioned in last weeks issue,
the congregation of Christ Church
have made extensive repairs and i'm
provements to their church which al
most transforms it to new one. The
roof has been reshingled, and in the
interior the walls and ceiling have
been nicely kalsomined, and the ar
cades of the ceiling all cleansed, and
brackets painted and put in to COM
plete them. The proper ventilation of
the church, the lack of which has been
seriously felt, has also been carefully
attended to. The vestry room has
been very much improved by being
painted and carpeted, and the stairs
leading to the Guild Room partitioned
off, which will make it very comfort
able, especially in cold weather. The
walls of the Guild Room have also
been kalsomined. The ladies of the
parish, who are ever active in good
works, have done their share towards
adjoining and furnishing the church
by procuring from the proceeds, of
Aids and entertainments, very nice
carpet and three handsome upholster-
ed and carved chairs for the chancel.
The cost of the entire work is nearly
$500. The congregation is to be con-
graduated upon the extensive i'm
proveluents made, and upon the beau
tiful appearance of the church, which
they no doubt feel should be an honor
and glory to GoD, who Himself has
created all things in marvellous all
wise and exquisitely beautiful work.

The Republicans of Brighton made
a most excellent choice in their selec-
ton of Mr.. Bonney as their nominee
for town representative. He is worthy
of the confidence reposed in him, and
the interests of the town will be jeal-
ously guarded by him. But the work
is not yet complete until he is declared
elected, and to this end all honorable
means should be adopted to secure to
him, and the party he represents, a
rousing majority. See to it that he
gets it.
