A few fanatics may try to resurrect
the " sanguinary neither garment
but the old sectional feeling so long
fostered is dying away. The visits
to the South by Northern people, the
intercourse between the two sec
tions, the reunions on old battle
grounds, the enterprise and new in
dustries of the South and consequent
commercial intercourse, have one
and all tendency which cannot be
wiped out nor set aside by the sense

who have lived on sectional strife.

The blind Chaplain of the House
of Representatives is still preaching
big sermons in his prayers. He is
something of a pessimist. The other
morning he drew deplorable pic
ture, referring to these as the times
"when the masses of men were drift
ing farther and farther from the
churches; when educated men were
asking: as life worth living?' when
men in the market places and other
centres of resort were teaching with
tongue and pen the doctrines of de-
spair, pessimism, agnosticism and
atheism; when lotteries, gambling
houses and grog-shops are sapping
the health and prosperity of great
bodies of the people; when scarcely
day passed but brought to light
some new evil to crimson the face of
the patriots; when leaders in great
cities were putting up their votes
for sale to the highest bidders and
bartering the franchise of the people;
when obscene books and pictures
were corrupting the imagination and
debauching the character of children
and youth; when boys were becom-
ing hoodlums and girls were bought
and sold like dumb, driven cattle in
the SHAMELESS; when people were
building churches to vie with club
houses in cost, show and luxury,
where the poor were never expected
to enter; when Divine charity took
the form of a machine and was adj
ministered by proxy, and when our
boosted civilization was stained with
blots as dark as DEATH"

No doubt it is perfectly right that
Metz, the murderer, should hang for
his crime. For few dollars he took
the life of his friend and cousin, and
the law requires his life as the just
penalty. But suppose he had had
friends, influence, wealth, would the
court have been so speedy and dis
tinct in it's call for his life? We fear
not. The history of Fayette county
justice is not the cleanest and bright
est. Metz could not even tell his
own side of the story. OF course it's
all right, but that makes it none the
less to be regretted.

DisPLEAsEp WITH BROWN.
Democrats Who Don't Like the Chair
man of the State Committee.

A Waterville despatch to the Boston Her
aid says; Chairman Brown of the Demo-
cratic State Committee will leave for Wash
ingten after the holiday season is over This
pilgrimage is in relation to fresh batch of
federal appointments in this State which are
likely to be made in the near future, and
Brown is anxious to have his friends draw
the prizes. He is especially interested in the
Lewiston postmastership and wants Levi
Greenleaf, who studied law in his Office, to
get it. The other candidates are ex-Mayor
Walker, ex-Internal Revenue Collector Ly-
ford, Lawyer w. w. Sanborn, an ex-State
committeeman, and Frank Conant, an in
surance agent There is hot fight for the
place. Mr.. Browns term as chairman of the
State Committee will shortly expire, and il
is reported in political circles that strong
effort will be made to prevent his reelection.
Brown is not in favor with many Of the par
ty leaders. They have already agreed as to
his succesSor-William Emery of Alfred, a
wealthy lawyer The State Committee will
meet in Augusta about the middle of Janua-
ry. Eleven of its members are new men, in
Guiding Mr.. Emery. Mr. Brown declines to
say whether he will be candidate for re-
election or not 1t Is rumored that his party
friends in this county, who put him on the
committee and helped to make him chairman,
have changed front and now prefer Emery.
The general impression is that Brown will
make fight if he sees chance of being re-
elected, but should the opposition to him
look too formidable it is believed he will
submit to the inevitable without a struggle.

Percy, son of Mr.. G. p. Mari, was badly
bitten by dog on the lip and nose, Tuesday.
DIR. Barrows sewed up the wound on the
lip. There are large number of useless
dogs in the village; some of the vicious ones
are kept muzzled. For the most part they
are public nuisance. One morning during
the past week two large Newfoundland dogs
menopolized the small space of standing
room in the yestibule of the post office, while
the mails were being distributed. One of
our business men, in advanced years, was
run into by them and taken off his feet, and
would have been thrown down but for the
timely assistance of Mr. Joseph Knight. Do
al the dogs in town pay tax?
