LowELL.-The farmers are well
pleased with the wheat crop as they
are about all through cutting and
expect it to run about 80 bushels to

Who can beat 66 shocks to the
acre, would like to hear. Lowell can
show a yield of that kind.
We have man here that believes
a self-binder can cut square mile of
wheat in one day. let him calculate
the number of acres. That will
knock il out of his head if any thin g
else does not.
A. A. Romig is so well pleased with
his eight dollar reaper that he helps
his neighbors, just for the fun of
seeing it do its work. Let him know

the ballot box becomes a curse in

the ballot box becomes a curse in
stead of blessing. The moment
he ceases to vote intelligently This
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, will be-
gin to decline. A good Monarchical
is better than a poor Democratic
government.
There is at present great deal of
noise. II is customary for the press
and campaign orators to malign
the characters of candidates of OPP
posing parties in explaining the is
sues of the day. Pet theories of
polititions are spun so finely and
delicately that those who are not
informed upon these subjects fall
an easy prey to the logic of political
leaders. 1t is all right to listen to
all we can hear, but when we have
heard the evidence of all parties. we
must charge that king of faculties,
judgment, which must render the
verdict. Seventy millions of hui
man beings prosperity, happiness,
and salty depend upon that verdict.
We are great nation, honored
and respected by all other nations,
its power seems unlimited, it's re-
sources inoxhaustible, its institu-
tions cope with those of any other
nation. We boast of these.
Rome sat ontmoned upon her
seven hills and ruled the world.
Greece was proud of her Athens and
and boosted of her Thermopylae,
both declined and fell. Do YOU ask
the reason ! Corruption.
Intelligence is the safeguard of
our government. Our free institu-
tions are its Gibraltar" Eternal
vigilance is the price Of our indus
trial liberty.
May we guard well the govern
ment established by our forefa hers,
and secured by our fathers, that we
may preserve it to future genera
tions who may inherit the glorious
privileges granted to us all.

The annual loss TO productive in

man and another sort of earth oc-
cupiers. They are smaller, but if
they can whip us, have undoubtedly
as good II right to The world as We
have. As civilization advances, new
insects make their appearance,
marching sometimes eastward. but
generally westward. There are few.

no parasite that dcvour either fol
iage or fruit. Thcloss to the cotton
crop is estimated at $4,000. coo Il
year while that to the apple crop is
not much less, aud that TO the pota-
toes crop ut least onc-half ~ much.
But the estimate is not fair one
until into the loss is counted the

Bangor Induntrlal journal, october ii.

Bangor Indusrinl Journal OctoDer II,
The whole country east of She Penob-
scot, from Bangor north, is full Of bears
and the veteran hunters are ali on tho
warpath with rifle and trap. Queer bear
yarns are beginning to come in from all
directions. A fellow who has besn up
on the east branch, living in logging
camp, relates that one night recently he
was awakened by noise at the door and
thinking it was some sportsman or pros
peotor who wanted lodging he got up
to let him in.
When he opened the door the hosss
pitable gunner was almost frightened out
OF his wits to come face to face with q
400.pound bear. The hear growled and
started in, while the man howled and
skipped out. The man YVES very
acantily attired, but rs he thought more
Of his skin than OF his comfort he lost no
time in getting to the top of tho nearest
tree, and there be roasted for two mortal
hours in the frosty night, while the furry
intruder RECALLED himself with such eat
abIes az the camp afforded.
Finally, the beast having gorged itself
numbered off, and the lone hunter, chilled
to the booze. descended TO fnd that his
repeating rifle, fully changed, stood just
beside the door where he might have
grabbed it in an instant, and ever since
he han been kicking himself for losing, at
one fell swoop, all his provisions and a
fine black bear. A farmer over in Clifton,
who has lost lots of sheep, now declares
joyfully that he has got revenge, having
found the tbieying bear in his pasture,
choksd to death with sleeps head.

Should the 5ist Congress be Republi-
can In both branches, us now seems prob
able, it is generally believed that its first
business will be the clothing of the terri.
tories of Dakota, Idaho, Montana and
Washington with statehood. The present
population of Dakota Ia estimated at
100000, and when admitted il will be as
two states-South Dakota and North
Dakota. 1t ia claimed that the other
territories named possess the requisite
population for admission as states. Large
emigration from the north to these
territories within the past few years has
made them strongly Republican in the
opinion of Republican leaders. With
these new states in the union there would
be added to the Republican strength 10
United States senator's OF least 10 men,
bers of the lower house, allowing four
members to North Dakota and three to
South Dakota. This would increase the
electoral vote in 1892 from 401 TO 421,
and make oil votes necessary to choice
of President.
