Republicans voted against it. Mr.. Putnam
should have told the whole story.


In the advertising columns of the daily
papers of yesterday was the announcement
OF an excursion under the auspices OIL the
Boston & Maine Railroad Company 10 Cen
| tire Harbor, New Hampshire, tickets for
which were placed at the low price Of $3.50
for the round trip. The date of the excur
sion was Monday, September TO- The train
was advertised to leave Portland at AS a. m.
II was advertised to stop at all the stations
on the road to the State line, and to leave the
last one-North Berwick-at 1910. There
are some suggestive circumstances in connec-
ton with this excursion. The day ON which
1t is given is election day. The hour at
which the train leaves Portland is S:45, an
hour and fifteen minutes before the polls are
opene d, and the time of leaving every
other town on the route but one is
some minutes before the opening OF the
polls, and in the case of that town the
polls will have been open but ten minutes
when the train leaves. tits evident that
every citizen who goes on this excursion will
lose his vote. The question arises, Was this
excursion planned for the purpose of beguil-
ing voters out OF the State, or was it arranged
in ignorance of the fact that there is to be an
election in this State on Monday? One or
the other must be the case, for it is incon-
ceiyable that any railroad manager
would select an election day, when
the great mass Of the people want to be at
home, for an excursion If the design were
simply to make money. Now are the man
ayers Of the Boston & Maine ignorant of the
fact that there is State election In Maine
on Monday? A large part of their road lies
in this State; many of its directors are citi-
zens Of Maine; 1t has agents stationed at
Portland and all along the road to the State
line. Besides the managers of the road are
intelligent gentlemen, who read the news
papers, and 1t seems hardly possible that the
fact that next Monday is election day here
could not have been overlooked by them.
The probabilities, therefore, are very strong
that the men who instigated this excursion
knew perfectly well that the day ON which it
is 10 take place is election day in this State.
But here is fact that goes far to remove all
doubt as to the purpose of the excursion, and
stamp 1t as Democratic trick to reduce the
Republican majority. Tickets are being
given away, and good care is taken that they
reach only Republicans. Though advertised
as an excursion under the auspices of the
Boston & Maine railroad, the fact probably
is that 1t is the conception of the Democratic
State Committee. At any rate 1t is being
used to beguile Republicans out of the State
so they cannot vote. Republicans should
have nothing to do with it.

With the regularity of natures
happenings do we come with our
new bargains. Does it ever occur
to our readers that no other estab-
lishment in Maine possesses such
a variety of goods as we? Does it
seem strange that day i'm and day
out, and as week follows week,
and from month to month, and
year to year, we can, without any
repetition. offer for sale entirely
new goods and give our customers
the benefit Of our purchases
Smaller dealers buy occasionally
ana seldom, III ever, visit the mar
ket or place of manufacturer, but
order by mail; consequently less
able to buy to advantage than we,
who are often buying the entire
production of a season, which
makes it imperative that we must
be on the ground almost constant
ly. Thus from our position we
are able to do better by those who
patrOnize us than it is possible for
them TO do elsewhere.

Hints About Horses

1t costs more to keep poor horse
than it does to keep good one.
Change the feed for your horses Of
ten enough to make them relish it.
A man is known as well by the
horse as the company he keeps.
Every time you worry your horses
you shorten their lives and days Of
usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horse s
shoulders to gall So do poor, illft-
ting collars.
The temperature of water for hor-
ses is not 40 much of an object as the
purity of it. While it is best to have
the water cool, it ismore important to
have it free from all impurities
Mares in foal should have exercise
and moderate work, bu: under no cir
cumstances should they be subjected %
harsh treatment, nor should they ev-
er be allowed to 60 where they would
be in danger of being frightened
The warm days are trying on hor-
ses not used to steady work in the
spring. They should be handled
very carefully. Their feed is mat
ter of vital importance and should be
looked after in a judicious manner.

Forbidden Immigrants.

The law of the United States pre-
hibits the importation of foreign la
borers under contract. The testimony
taken before the Congressional lDves-
tigating Committee now at work in
New York shows that such baborers
have been imported.
The law prohibits the immigration
of alien paupers. The testimony
shows that alien paupers have come
The law forbids the coming of for,
eign convicts' The testimony shows
that thev have beeh assisted to come

These facts will give Congress
something to think and act about.
