divided in their counSelS, a few holding that it
was unwi>e to nominate candidates when the
Republican ticket bore the names of active,
earnest and consistent temperance men. but
the other few prevailed, and Il ticket was made
up, which will be found in the report of the

1t is only charitable to suppose that Cen
Neal Dow is in his dotage and not responsible
for what he says, although there are some who
have never had any confidence in him as a
Temperance advocate, and who have good rca-

This assertion needs no comment.
The evil resulting from unnecessary criminal
costs is evidently not wholly abated. 1t has
entailed heavy burdens upon the tax payers of
this city and county. Beginning with the OPP
crations of the fusion deputy sheritls, hereto
fore exposed, and including the subsequent ar
rests made to put fees in the pockets of the
officers and trial justices, and it would be easy
to account for the $4,000 or more of debt I'M
der which Waldo county is now Iaboring.
During the past few years the county commits
sioners have endeavored to protect the inter-
ests of the people, and how well their services
in this direction were appreciated by their own
party was shown by their slaughter when they
came before the recent Democratic county con-
vention for a denomination.

Our thoughts go back to the olden time,
When hearts were thrilling with hopes and
fears.
And the Fourth of July was made sublime
By the vow that an earnest people spoke
To free their land from the foreign yoke.
Not yet was the fighting over and past
Years more of trial and struggle IN ust be
But the Nations life was that day forecast,
And the peace and triumph Of 'SS
With that earlier day must still be wed
When the Declaration first was read
That day when the people resolved to be
free,
And, resolving, knew that the thing was
done.
What booted the struggle yet TO be
When the hearts of all men beat as one,
And hand clasped hand, and eyes met eyes,
And lives were ready to sacrifce2
The years since then have come and sped,
Till their record reaches hundred and
ten;
And the heroes of those old days are dead;
But their spirit lives in to-day's young
men;
And never in vain would our country plead
For sons that were ready to die at her need,
To die, yet live, like those heroes Of old,
Immortal in honor, immortal in fame
Live in the leg nds forever told
The future that loftiest spirits claim.
