Judge Foster, of the Supreme
Court who lives in Bethel. Me-, was
awakened by loud crash in his
kitchen the other night. He hastily
and scantily dressed and ran into the
kitchen, to find the dishes and other
things disarranged and some broken.
He looked around to ascertain the cause
of the trouble and saw the dog in one
corner of the room, trembling with
fear. Judge Foster Immediately siezed
him, administered severe thrashing.

A Powerful Sentimental Argument Against
vivIseCtlon.
A story of viviscction has been told
the Listener, as coming from French
source. which has impressed him as
perhaps stating, in allegorical form,
the sentimental argument against vivi-
section as strikingly as itcan be stated.
Here is the tale as It's told to him: A
physician, who is also professor in q
medical college, was engaged for u
great part of his time in the vivisection
of animals. He had little daughter
of whom he was very fond. and who
was tenderly devoted to him. He re-
sorted to all sorts of methods to pro-
vent her from learning his chief occu-
patton. She grew to the age of four
teen without any knowledge of the
fact. One day she was visited by an
other girl of her own age, who. with
tears in her eyes. said she had lost her
white greyhound.
"What shall we do to find herp' the
visitor asked.
20. KNOW" said the DOCTORS daugh-
ter, 1--WE will go to the college and get
papa, and he will help us find her, for
you know there's no time to be lost"
The two girls started for the medical
college. A careless doorkeeper let
them pass into the laboratory where
the professor was at work. They saw
two students standing over the table,

CONCERNING MONEY.

Why 1t Should Always Be Regarded With

There are those who think it a fine
thing for young man to spend his
money with careless, dashing free
dom; and all over the world the spend
thrift is character less odious than
the miser. We think, on tho contrary,
that the miser and the spendthrift are
essentially the same character. The
weak vanity which prompts the mex
perienced youth to scatter his money
in prohigate profusion, easily changes
into that weak cowardice which induces
the miser to devote his later years to
boarding. Carelessness of expenditure
is one of the surest signs young man
can give that his life is destined to be
unprosperous and unhappy.
Some of the greatest crimes, and
many of the most poignant miseries.

THE PARTY COMMITTEES.

The Republicans of the State are to begin a
very important business tomorrow. Under
the call of the central committee they are to
meet in their several counties and begin the
work of reorganizing the party for the cam
paign, which is really already upon There
is more important work than the selection
of the right men for the party committee
ships. In the county the very best and most
available men should be chosen, and from the
counties to the districts, and then to the State
committee, only those men should be selected
who have the zeal, the discretion, the good
judgment and experience that beft them for
the duty of the organization and work. Let
no mistake be made in this matter. No man
should be taken for any place, however seem
ingly unim portant, from any other considera-
ton than his aptitude for the wo TX and his de-
votion to the best interests of his party. Let
no one be taken who has an ak to grind or a
personal interest to serve; let all such be care
fully passed by. In this campaign there is no
interest so important as the party, and no man
so important as the party. These considera-
lions apply TO the various committees, county,
district and State. AS matter of fact,
the most important committee may turn out
to be the county committee, and the whole
canvass may be determined by the efficiency
of the local committees. If proper care
be taken in the selection of the county COM
mittees there is not likely to be any mistake
in the others. We ask the Republicans of
the whole State to pay the most particular
attention to the work upon which they are to
begin tomorrow. With the organization
what it should be, there is no reason why the
party shall not have great victory this year;
with poor organization the bright prospects
of the present and the hopes of the future may
be all blasted. Look out for the committees

THE MUGWUMP LINK.

It comes to light that very strong political
pressure is being brought to bear on the Pres
ident for the removal OF Postmaster Pearson,
of New York. This is renewal of an old
fight. Pearson is the connecting link be-
tween Cleveland and the late lamented mug
wump party. A nonentity in politics, snob
in manners and dude in appearance, he is,
withaI, pretty good postmaster. Cleveland
found the mugwumps wanted very little, and
that little was Pearson, so he gave them
Pearson. His retention in Office has sufficed,
thus far, to hold the mugwumps in very close
allegiance to the administration. Pearson is
the tie that binds. But the President has
moorings and his mugwump affiliations that
the Democrats renewing their efforts for
Pearson's removal. We trust that they viii
succeed. The Republican party is in no way
interested in Parsons retention in office. AS
postmaster of New York, retained by DEM
ocratic administration for false pretenses, he
il simply an object lesson to illustrate the
utter dishonesty and insincerity Of the Presi-
dent. AS long as he is retained there is a
semblance of foundation for the disgusting
political alliance between the mugwumps and
the President, and for continuing the mutual
professions and assurances by which they
seem to think they arc deceiving tho country.
