My NEIGHBoR's FRIENDSHIP RE.

My neighbor had been injured by fall

many weeks. Being naturally active she
kept he, hands busy first on one thing
and then another. She finally decided

One day friend called and spving the
rug asked a few questions. after which
she rose quietly and placed the frame on
some chairs and began to hook in the cut
rags that were in 4 basket in one corner
of the room. She worked for an hour
chatting all the while as pleasantly "a if
she were handling the most delicate text

the wall, put back the chairs and with IA
sweet "Now good bye to YOU till come

Since the Divorce Act was adopted BY
the British Parliament, thirty years ago,
there have been no less than IL. 022 suits
brought under it: and in ,295-more than
half-the court has put asunder those
whom the Church alleged God had joined
together. This is not good she wing for
England. Worse still does it appear
when the three decades of divorce are
compared with each other. In the first,
1858 to 1857. there we're 2.lsS applications
for divorce. In the second, 1865 to 1877,
there were 3,212, an Increase of about 30
per cent. la the third, 1878 to 1887. there
we're 4,.6l, an increase of about 10 per
cent. In the next decade the increase
will b.. say the lawyers, fully 100 per
cent.

''I1 five States Republican caucuses
have already decided the Senatorial cleo
tions. First OF all IL Maine, where there
has been practical unaniinity in favor of
the reelection of Mr.. Frye. Yet, although
be has had no contest to make, the fresh
bestowal of the confidence of his State in
one of the true-t, most courageous, prom
luent and useful members of the Senate is
an interesting and encouraging
incident. The Congressional record
that Mr.. Frye has made
is one that is full Of honor and without a
blemish in il anywhere. A member Of
the ilouSe-and always one of it, leaders
in the I'D, 43d, i4th, 4Jth, 10th and
47th Congresses, he was elected to fill the
vacancy made in the Senate by the
resignation Of Mr.. Blaine in 1881, and was
elected again in 1853 That is a long
period of service, and il shows that in
Maine, as elsewhere in New England, Re-
publicans know enough to keep an able
and faithful man in the public service,
after they have tried him and found him
not wanting.

The Kennebec Journal, discussing the
question of Increased accommodations for
the Lsane, arrives at the conclusion that it
will not be wise to add more buildings to the
Augusta establishment with view of bring
ing to2s Their larger body of the unfortu-
mates, and it is tn .refore in favor of building
a new hospital either at Waterville or Bangor
In view of the Journals nearness to Gov
Burleigh, it is safe to assume that its opinion
on this matter is the opinion of the Executive.
Portland Press
We are gratified to see that our neigh
Dor approves the views ef the Kennebec
Journal in favor of new Hospital for
the insane. But its efforts to make it ap-
pear that Gov. Burleigh is responsible
for what this paper says on the subject, is
entirely incorrect, The editor whose
name appears on the second page of
the kennebec Journal ia entirely
and exclusively respon .ible for what he
writes. As to the article referred to he
had never even asked or known the views
of the Governor. who is a. amply able to
attend to his duties as the writer is to do
his work such as it il. We do not at
tempt to teach the editor of the Press
how his task should be performed,
and fer the present We will try to
get GA without outside assistance
As to the question of the removal of the
capital, We see no present need of any re-
marks of ours. Whenever that really be-
comes a deb ,teahe issue among the bust
ness men, and the people of the State. if
it happens in our lifetime, we shall be
ready to express such views as we think
are ia accord with the public interests. At
this time We see no occa sion for remarks and
will give our Portland NJ Ugh Dor full field
to say all it wishes to say on the subject,
and to continue ira complimentary allu-
sions to the city of augusta and its citi-
zens. We think it better for ms to do what
little we can To maatain Republican har-
mony and to defend the general interests
of the State.

Mining dividends. as reported by the
Engineering and Mining Journal, were
1901 Jos for sixty-four companies in
lSSs. This was 80 per cent more than in
1887 or 1856, and nearly 30 per cent more
than in 1854 and 1885.
Nearly all of this increase. however, is
due to the advance in copper. Copper
mines furnished in lSsS one fourth the to-
tai dividends declared, or 50 800, 00l and
it is safe to say that one-half the increase
in ISIS is due to the advance in the price
of copper caused by the French syndicate.
This added three cents pound to the
price received by the leading copper mines
of the country, quite enough to account
for all this increase of dividends. The
Lake superior mines produced s6.Sj0. 600
pounds in lSSs, and The advance of three
ceht- pouad-ihe-e companies selling at
ten cents 70 the public N lSS7 and at
thirteen in lSsS to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
81 .6o1 GOO. or nearlv all the increase Of
dividends. If III. increase in IT, price of
the rest Of the copper produced in the
country be added the advance in the ,livi-
dends of mines in l'ss ~ compared with
1885, is all accounted for.
In view OF these facts so strongly Attest
ed by figures it cannot he denied that
trusts are enimical to the public welfare
have become a nuisance of such alarming
proportion as to require vigorous measures
for its suppression.

The New York World (Dem.) defend.
its course in placing the responsibility fol-
the Republican national triumph on Pres.
ident Cleveland, and adds:
Since ii is plain that the party suffered
defeat through its candidate. the cause, which
is greater than sny man, should net be put in
similar peril sgsia through ignorance of the
facts or cowsrdice in withholding them. The
Democratic party will live for many years.
1t is not too old to profit by experience"
1t Is undenisble that Cleveland's Mes
sage, of December 1887, opened the way
to Republican victory, but the World
should not ignore that the Democratic
situation was much damaged by other
causes than the assault Of the man of
Buffalo on American sheep and American
factories.

everyone, without exception, receives vas,

they start into life and develop. at first slowly

The Samoa Question and the Cantor

II is very evident that the citizens of
the Pacific States take lively interest in

those States are tn he in the not remote
future, it is not strange that they should
have an eye to the best American com

They know the present value and future
Importance to them of the Sandwich
Islands, and it is but human that they
should wish that the Samol group and its
American coaling station should not fall
under foreign domination. Honolulu
would be to-day under the French or
English hig if our interests there had been

guarded a. they have been of late in

Samoa will he - indispensable to the
commerce of the Central Pacific as

eru Pacific. At Samoa, rs at llawaiii, the
first impulse of the natives was to Weld to
foreign force, hut there, rs in the other
ease, they have rallied in deteuce of their
rights. and the Califoi mans think that
they need only the moral support of our
Government to cause Germany to with
draw. The San Francisco papers unite
without distinction of party in urging the
presence of a strong American fleet at
Samoa. When it l. considered that the
Pacific slope of the United States has
more area aud larger resources than the
whole German Empire. thousands of
miles more distant from the coveted pos
session, than the Pacific States. il i very
plain that the latter have substantial rea-
sons for the interest they manifest in the
question at issue.
Ii is a good deal more than probable
