1t will be remembered that the Rev. DR..
Ball was reviled by Democratic and Mug
wump newspapers during the Presiden-
tial campaign for the exposure which he
made Of the scandals of Mr.. Cleveland's
life. They told the public that he was a
discredited and dlsgraced clergyman, etc.
etc. For these libels upon his character
he brought suits against the Boston Her.
aid and the New York Evening Post.
The Herald has just made very humble
retraction and the Post probably would If
DIR. Ball would withdraw his snit. The
virtues of Mugwumpism is In calling
those to whom it is hostile scoundrels.

Because Senator Hale Is not ready to
90 to the extreme lengths in the matter
of action that some other Senators advo-
cate, his Republicanism is questioned
He declares his position in regard to ap-
pointments to be that good ones should
be confirmed and bad ones rejected. He
does not favor an indiscriminate contest
with the President over the offices. In
this matter Senator Hale is right and we
understand Senator Frye is In accord
with him. 1t is too late or too early for
Edmunds to snap the party whip.

room for John Goode Jr His case is to
be Investigated by the Senate. The

should be compelled to go. The Presi-

allowed to stay, The Senate can attend
to that. The duty of the President and
the duty of the Senate are equally clear.

zone year ago l was apparently
so far gone with Consumption that
my life seemed only a question of
days rather than months. With
my faith in the ability of physicians
to help me all gone. l tried almost
every known remedy, with no ap-
parent benefit. Finally, as a last
resort, l was induced to try DIR. r
Q. Flowers Lung Cordial. The
very first dose gave me relief, and
with the first bottle L took a new
lease Of life. and can honestly say
to-day that one spoonful ofthis rem
edy is worth more to the sufferer
from Lung troubles than a gallon OF
any other known remedy. A bottle
of it is now one of my choicest DO
sessions, and at the first symptom
OF a cough or cold l fly to it for the
relief it never fails to give.n

the most wonderful Lung rem

the late Abner Coburn, to which the RE-
PORTER called attention last week say

Hon. j. r. Bodwell, the well known
granite contractor of Hallowell, has re-
Gently been intervie we'd by mechanic.
He says that he is in favor Of ten hour
law for labor, of the weekly payment Of
wages, of the abolition of the trustee
process against wages and of imprison-
ment for debt. He believes high pro-
tective tariff to be necessary to retain
high wages for worknen. This opinion
coming from the largest employer Of Ia
Dor in Maine shows that the most sue
cessful men are progressive and liberal In
their ideas. Mr.. Bodwell's practice has
corresponded with his professions.

The Editor of the Waldoboro Ners
who was delegate from the G. A. r.
post of that town, to the State Encamp-
ment in this village, writes as follows !:
During our recent visit to Skowhegan,
Comrada Frank b. Ward, who left a leg
on Round Top, drove us over that beauti-
full village and pointed out its enterprises
the fine residences and other attractions
Skowhegan has about the same popula-
ton as Waldoboro (3,8G0) but this village
is much larger. 1t lies on both sides of
the Kennebec, the ground is undulating
and the streets generally cross each other
at right angles. 1t has three good hotels,
two of them, the Heselton House and
Hotel Coburn, being nearly new, large
and elegant, six churches and one of the
best newspapers in Maine, the Somerset
Reporter edited by J. o. Smith, Esq. Its
wooden mills, shoe factory, pulp and pa
per MILL AK and scythe factories tanner
les, canning establishment, sash and
blind factory, saw and grist mills and
other industries furnish employment to a
large number of operatives. Skowhegan
is the shire town of Somerset county and
her citizens point with pride to the sub
stantal court house, the gift of the late
Abner Coburn. There are large num-
Der of elegant residences, many of them
of recent construction and modern archi-
lecture. Skowhegan also enjoys the dis
tinction of having a postmaster named
Miller, who received his appointment on
the same day the other Miller was ap-
pointed at Waldoboro.

The striking operatlves'of the st. Croix
Cotton Mill have gone back to their work,
and the mill is again running as usual.
BY request of the people of Midtown, two
prominent citizens of that place together
with Mayor Hanson of Calais served as a
committee to Investigate the alleged
grievances of the strikers with view to
bringing about settlement if possible.
The committee found that the whole
trouble arose from misunderstanding
due to change in the system of prices,
and the striking operatives being con-
WINGED of this fact returned to their work
conceding their demands for ten hours
and a ten per cent advance in wages.

A Blow Mt Mains Indus

The Morrison Tariff bill is blow at the
industries of Maine. Not that our state
was singled out by the Chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee for his ven
geance but when he attempts to put lum-
Der, hay, potatoes, oats, etc, on the Tree
list and to reduce the duty on starch so
that industry will be transferred to Can
ada, he strikes at the several leading III
dustries in Maine. The short lumber
trade of Maine, to say nothing of the
larger industry, is immense and affords
thousands of people the means OF getting
living.
The potato is one of our most valuable
crops. If duty is taken off, the crop VIII
be of little value the years 1t is heavy pe-
cause all Canada and especially Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick can flood our
market with their cheaper potatoes Inc
duty on hay gives our farmers a shght
advantage over Canada. When that duty
IS taken off, rs Mr. Morrison proposes,
the market will be flooded with Canadian
hay and IL 1t can be sold cheaper than
ours, the Maine farmers will be driven
from the market or forced to take low
or price. The change in the duty on
starch would have the effect to ruin
leading industry in Aroostook County
Fish is also put on the free list, which
strikes another important industry.
Wool would have been but for the fact
that Mr. Morrison represents the west,
the seat of wool growing. The duty on
many kinds of goods is reduced 20 per
cent, Just enough to transfer part OF
our market to English manufacturers and
to deprive our own people of the employ
ment which the production of the goods
transferred to England requires. The
duty on sugar is reduced 20 per cent by
the bill but that is no compensation for
the loss which would result from the re-
duction of duties contemplated by the
bill. Fortunately, it has no chance Of
success. The majority of the Democrat
lie House may vote for it but If the House
does not kill 1t, the Republican Senate
will.

Mr. Booker, the superintendent of
bridges, on the Maine Central, is busy
man just now, and has been ever since
the disaster to the bridge at Augusta.
The old bridge at that place has been
taken down and a new one of much strong
er build is taking its place. | asked Mr..
Booker the other day, with my usual
breezy impcrtinence how he happened to
put up bridge too light for the bust
ness of the road. His reply was prompt,
satisfactory and instructive. "a tailor
who fits suit of clothes to boy" he
said, "does not warrant them perfect
fit when the lad becomes full grown
man SO it is with the equipment of the
Maine Central. When the now removed
bridge was put up, the grades on the
road were heavy and corners sharp, and
the engines being light, the trains were
short and light. In those trains 20 cars
made up good train, and 25 cars was an
unusually long train. Now all that has
changed. The grades are easier, the
curves less sharp, the engines are much
heavier and as consequence instead of
Il single engine being able to manage 20
or 25 cars, they frequently about double
that number. A bridge that was doubly
safe 16 years ago, is no longer considered
so, and must give way to a heavier struct-
ure." This conversation only emphasize
es the wonderful growth of the Maine
Central. The increase has been so grad
ual that many have hardly noticed it.
