The decision of the committee on elections
in favor of Mr. Carlisle is only what was ex-
peeted. 1t may be just, but unfortunately
the decisions of such cases are VIGOROUSLY
controlled to such an extent by partisanship
that the public has little confidence in them.
Such contests ought to be submitted to the
court or some tribunal especially created
for the purpose. They they would De de-
clded according to the evidence. Now as a
rule they are decided by the political COM
plection Of the committees.

in the Argus. In the evening, if there is
any public meeting where general discussion
is permissible, he may generally be found
there. BY and by his star will have risen
sufficiently high to admit of its being seen
by everybody. In other words, his "boom'

perhaps. But political telescope of very
moderate power will discern it even at this

The increase in the amount of starch
shipped in those eight years has not
amounted to much, if anything. OF hay the
record of 1886 was ahead of any previous
year. and was the contamination of steady
increase since 1881, when the twelve and a
half million tons of 1880 dropped suddenly to
six and half millions. But again in 1887
there is sudden drop back to the figures Of
1880. OF potatoes and the various kinds Of
lumber the increase has been rapid and
quite steady.

GROWTH OF WESTERN CITIES.
lChicago Tribune.l
The story that a wolf was recently cap
tured in one Of the streets of this city has
been published far and wide as phenome-
nal incident. 1t seems difficult for the out
side world to realize that a city whose
growth is as rapid as that of Chicago must
inevitably overtake and annex some tardy or
crippled wild beast now and then.
The Portland daily press., 1888-01-16

1t goes without saying that it is the duty
of the officials to faithfully and inIpartialy
enforce the laws to the best of their ability.
If they do not do so they are culpable But
the condition of public sentiment must al
ways be an important factor in the enforce
ment of any law If one-half the commun-
ity are opposed or Indifferent to a law, that
law will not be so well enforced-no matter
how faithful and diligent the officials may
be-as law which is sustained by practi-
cally unanimous public sentiment. Officials
must rely to very large extent for informa-
ton of the violation of laws on the people
They cannot be everywhere or see every
thing. Here is one of the difficulties of the
enforcement of the liquor low. There is a
considerable minority which is Indifferent to
1t. There are very few persons, who, If
they know Of burglary or larceny but will
inform the officers and volunteer what evil
dence they may have in their possession as
to who the culprit is. But there are hun
dreds Of people in every city in Maine-many
Of them people, too, who believe in temper
ance and prohibition-who, when they
know that hotel or a drug store is selling
liquor will not go out of their way to inform
the authorities. In criticising the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law and contrasting
it with the enforcement of other laws this
fact must be taken into account. Any COM
parison that does not take it into account is
unfair and unjust to the officials. Rev. Mr.
Bayley's sermon discloses far from salts
factory state of things. But judgment as to
where the responsibility lies should be sus-
pended until all sides are heard

Sneezing Catarrh.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the ac-
rid, watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the
painful inflammation extending to the throat, the
swelling of the mucous lining, causing choking
sensations, cough, ringing noises in the head and
splitting headaches,-how familiar these symp-
toms are to thousands who suffer periodically
from head colds or influenza, and who live In ig-
norance of the fact that single application OF
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH Will
afford Instantaneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh
gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do
In the chronic forms, where the breathing is OBJ
structed by choking, putrid mucous accumula-
tons, the hearing affected, smell and taste gone,
throat liberated and hacking cough gradually
fastening itself upon the debiitated system Then
it is that the marvellous curative power Of SAN
FoRD's RADICAL CURE manifeSts itself In instan-
taneous and grateful relief. Cure begins from the
first application 1t is rapid, radical, permanent,
economical, safe.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie of the RADICAL CURE, one box CATARRHAL
SOLVENT and an IMPROVED INHALER; price, 81.

The methods Of the men who are "boom-
ing" California are none too scrupulous if
anything may be judged from recent pas
sage of arms between the boomers" of Los
Angeles on one side, and those of San Fran
cisco, Oakland and Berkeley ON the other.
On recent occasion, when the information
reached Los Angeles that there was snow on
the hills back of Oakland and Berkeley and
in San Francisco, the "boomers" of the
south lost no time in telegraphing orders to
San Francisco for any number of photo
graphs showing the snow, their object being
to exhibit their prizes to Fasteners as rep
reseRting the usual state of affairs in the re-
giOn of the great metropolis. But the San
Francisco papers are now rejoicing that the
audacious boomers" of the South have
been paid in their own coin. The San Fran
cisco real estate dealers have secured mega
tiYes that show Los Angeles as it appeared
during great flood, and other pictures that
show San Bernandino under a snow, and
snow-drifts uncomfortably near Riverside.
These pictures are, of course. for the benefit
OF such Fasteners, who are innocent enough
TO be prejudiced by photographs. The in
ference is obvious that the Eastern man who
goes to California to invest his money should
take along with him the wisdom of the SER

II wouldn't be bad idea for the angel Ellza
and her ardent admirer to apply for an en-

The clerks at the post-office are all the
time coming across POLITICALLY addressed en-
velopes in the mails, but 1t is seldom one so
gushing as that which caused the explosion
of ripping laughter this morning shows it
self. Not long ago letter was mailed at the
Office and the envelope bore this direction:
Not one secret has this letter.

And for answer wait in vain.
will add this little Item
Oxford Village Is in Maine.
There was some sense in that, if the writer
was bound TO go into poetry in addressing
his missive, but when aman exposes his love
to the cold, unsympathetic gaze OF the postal
authorities in the manner that Eliza Wells S
lover did, it is abost time to get another cot
ready at the lunatic asylum.
A day or two ago Biddeford man invoked
the aid of his muse and backed an envelope
in the following manner:
I'm looking for Hazelton,
Christened john:
He lives In Auburn,
Where i came from.
The composer of this probably never got
very far up the heights of Parnassus, but he
certainly loosed his poetic soul in crisp and
intelligent way and is entitled to far more
consideration than the one who loves the
waiting maiden down in Skowhegan.
But all of those who go out of the old, Gus
tomary ruts in directing their correspondence
do not by any means descend to poetry, and
the post-offce clerks are constantly encoun-
tering odd things in the way Of envelope
inscriptions. 10 the Journal reporter who
yentured within the precincts where the real
work connected with the post-office is done,
one of the clerks showed a variety of
quaint and curiously embellished envelopes.
One of them was almost completely covered
with a network of vines, among which num-
erous figures, probably intended for monkeys,
were hopping about. Another bore rather
cleverly executed female face in ink, maybe
intended as a counterfeit of the sender of
the letter or the person to whom 1t was
directed. Still another contained on its face
quotation from the Bible, but what its sig
niicance was is known only to the person
sending and the one who received the mis-
siye, probably.
AS a general thing, these elaborate embel-
lishments and poetical directions are consid-
cred a nuisance by the post-otfice clerks and
a source of extra bother and work, and it is
only upon rare occasions that the clerk
whose duty 1t is to make up the mails comes
across one that is really attractive or anus
ing enough to create a smile instead Of a
fr0Wn of ANNOYANCE.

The statistics of the transportation depart
Ipent of the New Brunswick railroad are of
considerable interest in Maine, because over
that railroad the products of the great coun-
ty Of Aroostook find outside markets. Fig
ures showing the amounts of potatoes,
shingles, starch, hay, bark and sleepers
transported from points on the New Bruins
wick Railway to points beyond Bangor each
year from 1879 to 1887 inclusive have been
made public. Unfortunately there are no
means of determining what part of these ex-
ports come from Aroostook and what part
from the Provinces. The proportion coming
from the Provinces, however, is probably
relatively small The figures show an i'm
mense increase in the traffic since 1879. The
showing for 1887 is made under different cir
cumstances from that of other seasons. In
May the Maine Central and New Brunswick
railroads were flooded for two weeks so that
achievements Of freight were suspended.
These freshets also caused many of the mills
to be idle, some Of them even to July. A
comparison Of the traffic of the years 1879
and 1880 with that of the years 1886 and 1887
will eliminate the difficulties which these ex-
ceptional circumstances put in the way of a
comparison of last year with 1879, the first
year Of the record. The figures are as fol-
lows:

All True.

The successful farmer is not the
man who by working from daylight
till dark, year in and year out,
scrimping and fretting, and depriv-
ing his family of the necessaries of
life, has at the age of fifty succeeded
in becoming the owner of two or three
farms and has money in the bank.
He is not the wealthy tight-fsted
old farmer, but the man who by dill
igence and hard work has succeeded
in providing himself and family with
"a comfortable home; who has furn-
ished his home with plenty of good
reading matter and necessary conve-
niences, and has taken time to read
and gain knowledge. He is bless
ing to the world, is kind and free
hearted and has won the esteem and
confidence of his fellow men. Such
a man is successful farmer.-Hus-

is authority for the following, con-
corning the truth of which our read
ers can use their own judgment:
"About four weeks ago mare own
ed by Col. r. III. Hicks, residing in
Woodford County, gave birth to
colt which has three separate heads
and necks grown side by side. The
middle head of this phenomenon is
that of finely developed young
colt; the one upon its left is a per-
fectly formed goats head, and the
third, OF the head upon the right
side, is that of a donkey. 1t can be
fed with either one, or with all of its
mouths at the same time. When
either of its head desires to test its
vocal powers the other two invaria-
bly, join in, causing the other ami
mails within hearing distance to flee
upon its approach. A veterinary
surgeon reports that its internal or
ganization is the same as that of any
other colt, having but one stomach
and one pair of lungs, but that the
trachea and 9sophagus trifurcate,
the tubes leading to each throat" -

From Chicago to New York the
railroads are hauling cars at a cost
of $40 to $50 per car. From Georgia
to New York, which is about the
same distance, the charge is $130 per

more than anything else to keep back
the trade in Southern products.
Oranges are brought mainly by water
