shirt in front with his knife.
"Clear through him, boys It's a question
OF minutes now"
Then he took off his hat and began tanning
Knocky. Presently the old mans eyes grew
clear again. He moved his head slowly as il
trying to see about him 1ntil his eyes rested
upon the old mulberry tree
Then raising himself suddenly upon one
elbow the old man pointed quickly to the tree,
and fell back-dead.
The deacon closed old Knocky's eyes and
spread his handkerchief over the bloody spot
on his breast. Then he started toward the
mulberry tree, and eight or ten followed him.
About two feet from the bottom was ragged
piece Of paper, about six inches square, pinned
10 the tree. 1t read

Not word was spoken.
The deacon unpinned the paper and folded
it up reverently.
The warning that Knocky gave his life to
bring us proved to be the saving of many
lives He was buried the next morning at the

The prophecy that the Federal servict
would be used in this campaign for poit
cal purposes, as it has not been used in 4
presidential canvass for thirty years, did
not have to wait long for verifioation
Mr.. +. Randall, of Sandwich. H.. chair
man of the Democratic Central Committee
of De kalb County, in the same state, fur
nishes one of the first evidences. He has
addressed circular to postmasters in
that county which reads in part as fol
lows:
am requested by the State Committee 10
solicit assistance from all federal ofiice-hold-
ers in the county. This fund when raised
will be used in the interest of the Democratic
campaign in the state. l have made a similar
call upon all the postmasters in the county,
apportioning the amount asked for to the
salary of the office, or the commission it
pays in case it is not q salaried office, and
have in every such case mentioned the
amount of contribution expected.
Since the nomination of their state
ticket in Illinois the Democrats have been
claiming that they will carry the State
this year, and no doubt the expectation
that they will receive large corruption
fund from the federal office-holders has
been one of their chief grounds of conf
dence. 1t will be seen that this circular

Cleveland's Popularity Abroad.

No one doubts that if the election were
held in England Cleveland would be
elected by "A magnificent majority. The
prO-British policy that he has steadily
pursued ever since he entered the White
House has won for him the admiration
and sympathy of all Englishmcn, who
naturally enough argue that if he has done
80 much for them in his first term he will
do much more in his second. Canada also
feels an interest in the political fortunes
of the Free-Trade candidate. He has on
more than one occasion shown greater
concern for the interests of that country
than for those of the United States. The
Fishery Treaty, for example, will for all
time serve IA testimony of the kind of
services he rendered our neighbors across
the border. Canada could be Justly ac-
cused of ingratitude if she did not wish the
reelection of Cleveland. The Montreal
Gazette summarizes his services in this
way =
Canadian people have special and deep
interest in the Presidential contest in the
United States - The fishery Treaty
might possibly be ratified by the Senate if
Mr.. Cleveland's Administration is approved
by the people There can be no doubt
that the chances of its ultimate acceptance
will be greatly increased if Mr.. Clcveland's
Administration is Endorsed.
There is, however, an even more import
ant reason why Canadians should wish for
the success of Mr.. Cleveland. The great
issue of the day among our neighbors is
Tariff Reform. Mr. Clevelands sue
cess meaning the passage of the Mills Bill,
and the passage of the Mills Bill meaning a
free market in the United States for our lum-
Der, wool, iron, ore, salt, and some other
products. Canadians will watch with deep
interest the progress of the campaign and the
finai outcome"
We have here plain, unvarnished state
ment of the reasons why Cleveland has
made himself popular in Canada. The
sacrifice of American interests is the price
he has paid for his popularity among the
Canadians. In the Fisheries Treaty he
has attempted to surrender the rights of
our fishermen. 1t has been well said in
connection with this surrender that what
England could not force us to do in our
DAYS of weakness the Cleveland Admins
tration was willing to do in our days of
strength.
The base surrender of American rights
that Is embodied in this shameful treaty
was sufficient of itself to win the gratitude
Of Canada. But Cleveland's services did
not stop here. The Free-rrade measure
known as the Mills Bill, which was intro
duced into Congress with the approval of
Cleveland. proposes to create new mar
ket for Canadian produ cts. Thisis equiv
alent to making gift of several million
dollars annually to Canada. Irish World.

Notes from Dresden Camp Ground

On our arrival here this summer we find
several families located for the season, the
towns along the valley being well repre-
sented The old faces are not SO numerous
as they once were, and new ones take their
places.
The grounds have been well kept and we
have never seen them looking more nicely
at this season of the year. The superin-
tendent seems to be the right man in the
right place. He is always ready at the call
of any visitor and at once makes the new
corners at home.
l understand the Salvation Army meeting
under General Booth begins August 15 and
is to continue one week. Some temperance
organizations will storm the fort for about a
week Not third party temperance folks, so
called, as understand. (The "Third Party
works the other way as l understand it).
Rev. Mr.. LeLacheur of Portland is to have
charge of some of the meetings and all know
where he stands. He believes in working
where he can do the most good. He is not a
seeker after Office which makes great diff
ference. The regular Methodist series be-
gins the 9th, to continue a week under
charge of Rev. W. S. Jones of Portland.
The dining hall has not been let, under
stand, but the right man will do good bust
ness during the season.
find the people are awake to the coming
of the contest that is to take place between
the two political parties, and find the true
American people understand what they are
fighting for. AtSouth Gardiner the grounds
of Charles Lawrence contain seventy flags,
all of them have the word protection printed
across them. They are over an acre of
ground; among the trees, on the buildings
and stuck in the ground. Half mile from
this is the beautiful summer residence of Mr..
Brown of New York. with similar display,
but on not so large a scale. While not far
distant, Hiram Lawrence has similar dis
play. The American people won't be de-
ceived again. We are all in the same boat
and must work together and in unity. We
shall conquer I have no doubt. 1t is Ameri-
lea before England every time.

Wool Growers Opposed to Cleveland
and His Policy

CANTON, Ohio.-A prominent resident of
Stark County, Horace G. Mcdowell, cashier
of the Farmers Bank of this city. and an ex-
tensive sheep owner, ha. repudiated the party
of free trade. He says he has hitherto been
a Cleveland Democrat but is such no longer.
He does not believe in free wool, and is
sending circulars all over the country show
ing that the effect Of the passage of the Mills
bill would be to ruin the wool industry of the
country. He says he has letters from all
over the country showing sentiment almost
unanimously against free trade, the Mills
bill and Cleveland.

object to long campaign, don't know that

This is year when people are going to
think politics every night, whether you have
the ticket in the field or not
