MAINE AND HER GOVERNOR.
lBoston Traveer.1
In all national elections Maine holds
most conspicuous place on account Gifts CUB
ernatorial canvass. The State election
coming early in September its decision is a
matter of Importance, and Is watched with
eagerness by all parties. Added to general
interest of the occasion is the feature of the
candidacy itself. The death of Ex-Governor
Bpdwell forces new choice for position
that has been held by many distinguished
men of that State. The attitude of Mr..
Blaine towards the national canvass, caused
by his withdrawal, and the early campaign
in Maine, gives much significance to the
coming standard-bearer to lead in the first
decisive Republican contest. Among the
most prominent and most worthy OF the
names suggested for the Republican nomina-
ton is that of Hon. Henry B. Cleaves. This
suggestion is backed by influential Republi-
can papers in Portland, Biddeford and Bath,
and numerous other places, all of which
warmly commend General Cleaves for the
position. Mr.. Cleaves served in the war,
aud came out of it with the record of being
"a brave and fearless soldier" aud settled
after peace at Bridgton and practiced law as
member If the Oxford county bar. He
officiated as attorney general between the
years 1880 and 1884, making in his Office IA
model and brilliant administration accord
ing to the Portland Press. The first vote
cast by Mr.. Cleaves was for Abraham Lin
coin in 1864, and from that time he has been
a firm md reliable Republican The consent
by Mr.. Cleaves for the use of his name be-
fore the convention puts him in the field: Ii
selected, he would make a strong appeal to
the soldier element Of Maine, always a
strong one, and if chosen he would, accord
ing to the Portland Advertiser, bring to the
governorship of Maine degree Of ability
and strength rarely equalled"

The Locomotive Brotherhood say that none
of their officers have authority to order a
strike. That is a matter which every indiyi-
dual settles for himself So that If the en-
gineers on the roads connecting with the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy should strike
because those roads accepted the freight Of
the latter there would be no ground for pro-
ceeding against Chief Arthur and the other
officials of the Brotherhood for conspiracy.
That may be true. but under the Interstate
commence law not only is the connecting
railroad company liable to punishment for
refusing to take the freight of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, but every employe of
the company who is in any degree response
bic for that refusal The switehmen who
refuse to switch Chicago, Burlington 81

gipeers who refuse to operate the engines to

The question of local or standard time en-
tiers into the Bangor election today, to some
extent. The present mayor was instrumental
in having standard time adopted, and the
local timers, of whom there are many in the
city, are working hard to defeat him for this
reason. 1t seems queer that an innovation
which has so many advantages as does the
system of standard time should still meet
with violent opposition in a place like Ban
gor, but so II is, and there will be good
many votes thrown against Mayor Bragg to
day simply because he ordered the town
clocks set on standard time. He will be
elected, however.

toms are dull and drowsy feelings,
severe headaches, coated tongue,
poor appetite, indigestion and gen

as they advanced to attack. Giants

WE believe there is one crop that
is too much neglected by most Of
the farmers, and that is the raising
of roots and tubers for feeding stock.
Most of the roots can be grown with
ligtle trouble and they will yield
largely besides being very nutritious
and juicy. They make excellent
food in connection with hay or corn
fodder, stimulating the appetite,
keeping the system in tone and pro-
dicing milk and flesh as well. Tur-
n;ns r,,ts6s;S;ss beets, carrots and
hlps, rubapaRaAS--s-s...-
mangel wurtzel are among tsloe Tue nOs'
common and useful. -
1t is asserted that the people of
London, in addition to the regular
water tax, pay sS5O,O0O year for
water privileges. It goes into the
pockets of the milkmen, however,
and not into the public treasury.
The wholesale milk dealers of
Philadelphia have notified the dairy
men of Burlington county that ow-
ing to the failure of the legislature
to lower the standard for milk SOL
ids, they will hereafter receive milk
only from high grade Jerseys and
Guernseys.
The COW that will give the most
milk in proportion to the cost of
food consumed is the economical
dairy animal and most profitable for
the milk farmer. General purpose
COWS are liable to devote a certain
percentage of their food towards
forming flesh upon the carcass,
which is a waste of material and a
strong argument against their prof.
table employment in the dairy.
