Waking People by Telegraph.

Some enterprising people in Belgium
have applied the telephone to Il novel
use.
Little bells are applied and fitted to
the beds of all who desire to rise early
in the morning but cannot do so of
their own accord. A certain time is
fixed and communicated to the central
station and, at the precise moment
agreed upon, the current is turned on
aud the bells commence to ring and
continue doing so until the slumberer
awakes, leaves his couch and informs
the head office that he has had enough.
The idea ought To supereede the
seven-and-sixpenny alarms which per-
form specmodlc peal for the space of
five minutes, and having run down re-
lapse into silence again.
This sort of thing is very alarming at
first, and invariable causes the dozer to
wake up in a terrible fright; but after
time one gets used to the performance
and the tinkling proves Intellectual

racted large crowds TO the spot. who,
not being allowed TO enter. climbed up
IN top OF ihesfence, and made use Of
every other means in their power TO

TOO SANCuINE.

Since President Cleveland has been con
fined to his room with rheumatism he has had
some leisure to consider his prospects in
1888. That he will be renominated he seems
to be fully convinced inasmuch as he is cal
culating the chances of his election, and
making combinations which will return him
to the Presidential chair without the vote of
New York. If Mr. Blaine isn't candidate
he thinks he can carry Maine. Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire and Connecticut he appears
to be sure of, no matter who is the candidate
All the States he leaves to the Republicans
in New England are Vermont and Rhode
Island if Blaine is not the Republican candi-
date against him, and Vermont, Rhode Is
land and Maine if he is. Mr.. Cleveland is
counting his chickens long time before
they are Matched, only to find that some of
them will prove to be somebody else's chick
ems when they come forth. We don't know
on what he bases his expectation in regard
to Maine, but suspect it is on the pleasing
| but fabulous tales narrated to him by Demo
cratic politicians from this State, who are in
search of offices either for themselves or their
| friends. We shouldn't be surprised if they
had told him that all that was necessary to
convert Maine into Democratic State was
| to fill Federal offices with Democrats. His
acquaintance with them, which by this time
should be quite intimate, ought, however,
to make him little skeptical of their sto-
ries. The Democrats have been carrying
Maine for great many years, now, in their
minds, but somehow or other they have al
most invariably been left at the ballot box.
They are certain to be again in 1888, no mat
| ter who the Republican candidate is, though
If Blaine be the candidate their burial will
undoubtedly be deeper and more complete.
Mr.. Cleveland had better stick to New York.

Fewer vessels have been built at Bath this year
than any ear since 1861. About njne-tenths OF
the vessels built were schooners. Not single
ship was built and only one barque.-Portland
Press
And the tariff has never been higher since the
foundation of the government Fine exhibit this,
for protection now isn't it?-Lewiston Gazette.
But the tariff on materials that enter into
the construction Of vessels has been almost
entirely removed. There is practically free
trade in shipbuilding material. The trouble
is that wooden ships are falling into innocu-
GUS desuetude and iron vessels are taking
their places. But what would have been the
years story of shipbuilding at Bath had that
fayorite free trade measure known as the
free ship bill which was urged at the last
session and is to be pressed at the present,
become law? Instead of twenty-four YES
sells of 10000 tons being built, the record
would have been blank, the yards would
have been closed and the hundreds of mea
who have earned their daily bread in them
would have been compelled to seek other en-
ployment. 1t is the Democratic policy to
have all our vessels built in English yards. 1t
is the Republican policy to have them built
in our own. The change from wooden to iron
ships cannot be arrested, even if it were de-
sirable to do so, but with proper encourage
ment we may soon have the plants necessary
to turn out iron ships. The Republicans are
anxious to afford this encouragement, but
the Democrats prefer to play into the hands
OF English shipbuilders.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE

Among the possibilities Of the present ses-
sion Of Congress, is the passage Of bill to
regulate Interstate commerce. Senator Gull
ION, Of Illinois, and Representative Reagan,
of Texas, have been the champions Of two
very different measures for this purpose.
The former, Republican and the latter a
Democrat, they have been unable to agree on
leading principles, so neither has attained
any success, except in his own branch Of
Congress. But there is now a possibility
that conference committee will report a
compromise bill, which will have enough
good points to recommend it to both Houses,
and not enough bad ones to damage its pros
poets with either. Mr. Cullom has always
commended that commission would be nee
essary in any scheme for controlling those
transportation companies, whose routes not
lying wholly in any one State, are not under
the authority of any one State. Mr.. Reagan,
on the other hand, has maintained that OF all
things, he would accept the idea of commits
sion last. In several other important par
ticulars they differed; but bill has at last
been drawn, which is expected to suit the
supporters of both bills. The new bill pro-
vides that it shall be unlawful for any per-
son engaged in the transportation OF proper
ty from one State to another, to receive a less
compensation for the longer distance which
includes the shorter distance on the same
route. To give a practical illustration, such
regulation would make it impossible Tor a
railroad to charge more for carrying freight
from Berwick to Boston thap from Portland
to Boston. This provision disposes OF the
long and short haul' question which has
already caused so much debate in Congress.
But the enforcement of the provision is en-
trusted to commission, such as Reagan
has always opposed, and its operation may
even be suspended by this commission.
As to determinations, it is provided that
no discrimination shall be made by any
railroad In favor Of one person over anoth-
er on rates, facilities of transportation,

etc. Pooling is prohibited by a clause max
ing it unlawful for any person carrying
property under the conditions of the bill to
enter into any contract, agreement or com
bination with other carriers for the pooling
offreights. Rebates, which are allowed to
large shippers by many roads, such for
example as have been allowed to the Stan
dard Oil Company, amounting to millions of
dollars yearly, are declared unlawful, in
common with all other forms of advantage
for favored shippers.
Such law if passed would bring those
transportation companies, especially rail
roads, that operate between States under
control. Those wholly within single State,
will be left as at present, subject to the laws
which the Legislature of that State may see
fit to pass

A PRACTICAL LESSON.
Shoe and Leather Renorter.

The failure of A. p. Martin & Co. calls re-
newed attention to the destructiveness of
the warfare the laboring men are making on
the shoe manufacturing industry. They
claim through their organizations the pre-
they are employed. 1t seems they did,
through the force of circumstances, have
their own way to a great extent in the Hud-
son factory, and the result was that the pro-
prietor lost money. This simply demon

they are thoroughly right in resisting every
demand of that nature which is made upon

The Hon. Simon S. Brown, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, was in
town yesterday. So also was the Hon. Will
liam Emery Of Alfred. 1t is only month
now before the new Democratic committee
will meet to choose a chairman, and the
presence here of the Hon. Mr.. Brown and
the Hon. Mr.. Emery are supposed to have
some bearing on that event. The enemies of
Mr.. Brown have been very industriously
sowing tares of late, and it is alleged that
they have sprung up and choked even the
Hon. Charles H. Chase's old time enthusi-
asm for his fellow tabulator from the banks
of the Kennebec Mr. Brown no doubt spent
a considerable part of the day yesterday in
trying to weed them out. How well he sue
ceeded we shall know when the State Com
mittee meets. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that nothing will come between these two
distinguished statesmen to permanently
disrupt the pleasant relations that sprang up
between them as they sat around Gov. Gar
celon's council board tabulating the returns
and arguing points of constitutional law.
