haustiye article on the prospective move
mcnis and struggles for positions within
the gift of the Legislature, at the meet
ing Al Augusta. the first Wednesday IN
January, with measures that are talked OF
as among the many that will become law
the coming winter.
In the matter of election of State otli-
GERS there appears to be probability OF
contest for the Office of Secretary of
State between Hon. Oramandel Smith the
present incumbent, aud Col. 4. c. Far
riugton, with the chances decidedly in ia
vor of Mr. Smith; lively march for the
Adjutant Generals Office between Adj.
Gen Gallagher and Col. II. NJ. Sprague;
a very close canvass for the Attorney
Generals Office between +. \. Powers,
ESQ, of Houlton, and Hon. c. +. Little
field of Rockland while for the Treasury
Of State, Gen. Geo. l.. Beal, commission
er of the Treasury, has no competitor,
Senate are Hon. Henry Lord of Bangor,
and Hon. II. NJ. Heath Of Augusta while
for the Spcaker>hip of the House. Col. +.
y. Dow of Portland, l.. \. Barker, Esd,
of Bangor and Hon \. p. Wiswell Of
Ell. worth, are candidate.
The recording officers of the two
branches will be the same As two years
ago, zen. e. W Tilden Of lIallowell, Sec
rotary of the Senate and Hon. Nicholas
Fessendcn of Fort Fairfield, clerk of the
House. Mr.. Dunbar of the Bamariscotta
Herald will continue as Assistant Secre
tary of the Senate but there will be d
smart contest for Assistant Clerk of tn,
House, position over which there la,
/ been more hard contests than any othel
legislative place.
There must necessarily be Il change II
all the members of the Council but til,
Portland district, As the position in eacl
of six districts go to counties othe
than those now having councillors,
Among the prospective legislation il
mentioned that of providing for new
system of balloting at State elections
bill to regulate railroad rates and increas
taxes thereon; bill relating to State pau

senators and representatives amend
ments to prohibitory law; amendment L

tant General shall be appointed by tn
Governor instead of elected by the legis
lature and so forth.
1t is easy specializing about these mat
tiers. There will be numerous PROPOSE
sitions of all kinds, some good, som
bad, but the percentage Of proposition
that fall through in proportion to thos
that become law is fortunately large am
still we do not greatly suffer for paucit.

We are heartily glad the base ball sea
son is over. Base ball may be good
thing when not carried to extremes, but
it is usually carried to extremes Usually
involves betting, gambling, large ex-
penses and larger loss of time. There Is
little doubt but running a team in Skow-
hogan this year, counting the actual eX-
pense and the time wasted at 30 cents
per day, has cost two Thousand dollars.
The actual benefit, rs we look at it, has
been nil.

He Hadn't Read the Constitution.

4 certain clergyman of IIoulton who
has been on the stump for the L. T. this
summer and fall instruCting American
citizens how to vote, thought it would be
pious plan to be naturalized so lie could
himself vote, and accordingly applied to
Judge Haskell for that purpose last Fri
day. The Judge, among other questions
asked the reverend applicant if he had
'rcad the constitution of the United
States? The clergyman reluctantly all
mitted that he had not Whercupon the
Judge pleasantly remarked; at has not
been my practice to admit any person to
citizenship, particularly if he be a literary
man unless he has made himself familiar
with the constitution of the United
States you can go, and when you have
read the constitution you can again APP
ply to this court for citizenship This
reverend gentlemen retired with a good
sized flea in his ear

DEAR MIR. DIsPEAC;-
True to my word make my
report to you at the end of nine days trial
with the Baths. Have taken nine of
them thus far, and the results are all
that could possibly be expected. You
will remember how | was when you
left me, and all shall have to give now
will be my present condition. Yesterday
| walked up to the store and back with
out fatigue, and weighed myself, tipped
the scales at LIZ lbs. My ankles are
about healed, and AS small at night as they
were formerly in the morning. Have had
to discard my big pants and put on apair
wore Leforc | was sick. Examined nv
water week ago and it was one third
solid albumen. This morning examined
again, and there is not the slightest trace
of Il solid, only a little clouded as if
drop or two of milk had been put in it,
| could hardly believe my eyes, but am
ready to believe anything now. The
great veins stand out on my hands and
arms, and | have no need of flannel
shirt at night. OF course there are
"croakers here who want to lay the i'm
proyement to something else, and will
hardly believe their senses, but | know
where the credit belongs. Mr.. and Mrs
Gushing called last evening. They are
both very much elated over Mrs. C's i'm
proved condition. | will report again in
a week and you need not be surprised at
anything, but | guess what you said
about my being a different man in two
weeks will prove true Mrs. Dyer Joins
in kind regards.
