The labor arbitration bill passed the
lower house of Congress last Saturday
by vote of 1875 to go In the debate
on the bill Frank Lawler, Of Chicago,
expressed the belief that the changing
of Jay Gould on q lamp-post in the
streets of New York would be a bless
ing to the United States. There is no
wonder that the laboring men resort to
violence to enforce their demands when
such statements as the above are made
in the halls of Congress. Such dema-
gogues as Lawler with their indiscrete
remarks only injure the cause of labor,
and they should be squelched.

No, Bro. Todd, the .'the simple
urging of Mr.. Turrells candidacy by
his friends does not constitute war on
the other candidates; but the over zeal
Gus friends of Mr.. Iurrell have recently
made statements in regard sto Mr..
Wakefield that are not based upon
facts, and consequently highly unjust
to that gentleman. A late issue of the
Reveille contained what purported to
be the minutes of an alliance meeting,
wherein one L. Gilbert, secretary of
alliance No. POS, is quoted as having
said ''that he had repeatedly written to
Congressman Wakefield for copies of
the Congressional Globe, but without
even as much as eliciting a reply; that,
finally he wrote Mr.. Wakefield in an
official capacity, telling him that the
alliance of which he was secretary con-
trolled $50 votes, whereupon the re-
quired number of copies of the Globe
were at once forthcoming. This
statement was made with great -four
ish of trumpets and the impression sent
forth that MI. Wakefield totally ignores
the individual claims of his constitU.
ents, and complied with Mr.. Gilbert's
request only when he saw chance to
enhance his own political prospects.
Where Mr.. Gilbert's statements, as re-
ported in the Reveille, based upon facts
the REVIEW would be the last to enlist
in Mr.. Wakefeld's defense; but this is
far from being the case, and justice and
fairness demands that the members of
the Redwood county alliances should
be made thoroughly familiar with the
facts in the case. With this end in
view, we append copy of Mr.. Gilbert's
letter, which is the first and only one
Mr.. Wakefield has any knowledge of
receiving from him. The following is
an exact copy of the letter referred to:

the first and only letter Mr.. Wakefield
ever received from Mr.. Gilbert, and he
at once sent him what he asked
for, or what he intended to
ask for, the Congressional Re.
cord. If Mr.. Gilbert is correctly re-
ported in the Reveille, he is guilty of
deception which we cannot believe in
telligent men of his order will COM
mend.
Then, again, the Marshall News-Mes-
semger in its advocacy of Mr.. Turrell' 8
candidacy says: present inefficient
representation they (the people, have
had enough Thus it is unmistakeab-
ly intimated that the present member
(Mr. Wakefeld) is inefficient and unfit
to longer receive the suffrages of the
people.
If this is not making ''war'' on Mr..
Wakefield then we clearly misunder-
stand the meaning of the word.
X +
The Reveille insinuation that we
stand up for Mr.. Wakefield because of
having held federal Office, is the I'M
kindest untruth of all. It is true we
have been a federal Office holder, but
never s'under Wakefeld's dictation, :"
as the Reveille is pleased to put it. We
have none but the friendliest feelings
towards Mr.. Turrell, but we believe no
lasting benefits can be gained by his
friends by traducing other candidates
equally as worthy.

LonefeIIow Lodge, X. of p.

At regular meeting of Longfellow Lodge,
No. 43, K. of p, held last evening, the iol-
lowing resolutions were presented by Past
Chancellor Enoch Knight, chairman of the
committee appointed for that purpose:
RESOLVED That in the death of Bro Thomas g.
Loring, Past Chancellor of this Lodge. we have
sustained loss difficult to realize and impossible
to make good. To have had him for member
and helper has been our just pride; and to have
lost him from our midst and from our work has
been the deepest sorrow of our experience. No
other name was better known throughout the
Order in the State albeit it had not the adventl-
tous aid of high official place. Bro. Loring was
worker amongst workers. His chosen place was
in the midst of duties, all of which he knew both
in spirit and in detail. He was not merely alert
and cheerful in spirit, but he was untiring and
brave from an unfailing sense of pride and duty.
He was not merely familiar figure in this Castle
Hall; he was character whose individual stamp
and force invested him with distinctive and
peculiar personality everywhere. He was not
merely man of wit and genial and gracious
bearing; he was genius who in every emergency,
grave or gay, was fertile in resource and mimi
table in speech and manner.
Resolved, That his CHEEKY presence, his unfal-
tering devotion to this Lodge and to the Order
and his name shall be cherished as widely and as
warmly as his words and deeds on our behalf
were appreciated and applauded.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records, and a copy bearing the seal Of
the Lodge be presented to his family.

OIeomargarine.
To the Editor Of the Press

To the Editor Of the Press:
A short time ago the people became arous-
ed against the sale of oleomargarine in this
State 1t was urged that large quantities
were being sold for butter On investiga-
ton this was found to be true. A law was
passed in Maine that whoever sells, or ex-
poses for sale, or has in his possession any
substance or compound made in imitation of
butter, and not made wholly of cream or
milk, shall be fined for the first offence 800,
and for the second and each subsequent Of
fence 5000. This law took effect April 2,
1885, and.for few months the sale of ''oleo
in this State was SMALL but it is now on the
increase Oleomargarine is sold in many
towns and villages in this state, but by far
the greater portion is sold in Portland, Bid
deford and Saco, and sold as butter, not as
oleOmargarine. The temptation to deal in
oleomargarine is very great, for the grocer
can realize profit much greater by selling
for butter than for ''oleo " He can buy the
imitation butter from eleven to fourteen
cents pound and sell at from twenty to
twenty-five cents. He does not dare to sell
at less price than this, for fear of being de-
tected in his fraud. Some of the limitations
sent to this market are so perfect in color
and general appearance that only an expert
packed in the neateSt and cleanest of pack
ages, in imitation of Vermont dairy butter,
and everything is done to deceive the con-
sumner and increase the profit of the law
breaking grocer
Fraud should be punished wherever found,
and the dealer who cheats his customer by
selling him oleomargarine when he asks for
butter, should be liable to the law just as
much as the confidence man is, if not more
so for he holds higher social position, and
is considered more worthy of trust. The
fraud in the sale of imitation butter and ole
margarine must be stopped, and If it cannot
be done by the law now on the Statutes, we
should have one that will reach every Offend
er and some one duly employed to enforce
the law. Consumers. look well to what you
are buying for your table, and see If it is
butter or oleomargarine. A.
ut makes no difference how stringent the
law is, it will do little good unless it is en-
forced, and it cannot be enforced unless tes-
timony can be had to convict the violators of
it. If A knows of anybody who is selling
oleomargarine as cream butter the proper
thing for him to do is to complain to the
proper authorities and have the fraudulent
dealer punished. One prosecution will do
more to stop the sale than hundred COM
munications in newspapers.-ED.

A Thank-offering Meeting.

The ladies of the Second Parish Circle.
after consultation, have decided to hold a
thank-offering in their church tomorrow
evening in order to increase their means for
more extended work in the home mis-
sionary field. An address will be delivered
by DR.. Clark of New York, secretary of the
Home Missionary Society, and selections
from our most prominent musicians, will
make the evenings exercises still more at
tractive. Believing that this plan is a
worthy one the ladies earnestly invite the
attention of the people to it and ask for
their free-will offerings. Envelopes will be
distributed and afterward collected at
the meeting, into which the people are re-
quested to place such gift as they can best
make. 1t is hoped there will be a generous
response. DR.. Clark is called q fine speaker
and the people are cordially invited to come
and hear him.
