A VAMOUSED PLAN.

Gen. Malone has sure enough

Washington. He Will reside there
with his family.
We suppose the patriotic Genl.
Will now keep forever secret that
wonderf al plan Of debt settlement
Before election he SAID he would
not give it to the Democrats. This
was bad. He could not expect
people to accept his ipsi dirt on
question involving so many mil
lions of dollars. Human judgement
is not quite intallible enough for
that besides, Genl. Malone is
known to have favored paying the
entire debt, West Vlrglnla's IN
cluded at the outset. Before cleo.
ton said he would not give it TO
the Democrats.
Since election he says, "they
would not know what to do with
it, etc" That IS egotIstical, unpa-
triotic and comes damnigh the
damphoOI. Excuse our disgust
He certainly owes something to
the people OF Virginia who put him
in the U. S. Senate aud the I22, 900
who voted for him for governor,
Bah the Genl. busted on that
plan. 1t lOoss like a very grave
false pretcnse to get a governorship

YORK and Cumberland Bee Keepers
Exhorted to Awake.

AT the recent convention of the York and
Cumberland Bee Keepers Association at
West Kennebunk Mr.. Moulton, of Scarboro,
delivered an earnest appeal in behalf of
greater interest in the work of the Associa.
zion. Said Mr.. Moulton:
"Beekeepers in other States and also in
this State have their conventions, and are
meeting with success. Why cannot we of
YORK and Cumberland county do likewise
1t seems to me to be duty we owe to our
selves and to the community. Every inter
est must organize or fall behind, that is self
evident truth.
How shall We. after taking hold of the
wheel relax in the good work we have be-
gun? No, onward and upward is our motto,
and our watchword is progression For, if
he is helped who produces two blades of
grass where there was but one, how much
more shall we be,-if we are the means of
placing two colonies of bees within the limits
OF this association, where there is but one
now. For the past twenty years the bee
interest has been on the wane and literally
speaking, is nearly extinct within the limit
OF this association. Those who have kept
their colonies intact have been few and far
between. Now thi, association was formed
in ordtr to renew that branch of industry,
and 1T Is our object and determination not to
rellnqnish it until we can furnish honey
enough for our home market We have bee
Paoso"So SnpuSu auu WHY uUt ulilLo II!
God certainly will help these that try to help
themselves and our object in having our
seni-annual convention is to get you inter-
ested In this industry, whereby you will take
mold with US seeing our good works and be-
come co workers with us.
Much thanks are due to the officers of
this asse citation for the interest they have
taken, IN this coming convention, by their
advertising and sending notices of this
meeting, whereby all that were interested,
could come and help on with the good work.
It shows plainly to US, that they have
decided "how We are to derive the greater
benefit from this meeting"
I'VE need for the successful prosecution
OF honey raising, a rapid communication, of
all that observation and experience are every
day bringing to light, books and newspapers
help, bat they are not sufficient, we receive
from them only the first principles that set
us to thinking, and, eur desire is then for
more light What then? We try to gain
from those whom we think, have more know
ledge of the subject then ourselves.
A thousand points of interest, and value
are brought out in a convention, which never
would find their way to the newspapers.
Many ob;erve, but rarely tell what they
see, through the press. But conventions
brings out details There is nothing like
personal intercourse, to elicit truth. We
have it here in its simplest form. Anyone
may ask questions Pertaining to his individ-
ual case, and be answered by practical men,

The statement that the Krupps are about
to establish gun plant in America, has
been received with incredulity in this coun-
try They would be too far from the great
European and Asastlc customers say those
who ought to know. But the last report of
General Miles shows that there are enough
great guns wanted by Uncle Sam to keep a
Krupp factory busy some time, even if he
should lose his European custom. General
Miles commands the division of the Pacific.
In his report he calls attention to the fact
that there is not single gun in position to
protect the cities of Puget Sound and the
great commercial interests of the Northwest.
He says: with all ON boosted intelligence
and pride of institutions, inventive genius
and superiority in many of the arts. indus
tries and commercial enterprises, we are as
far behind in the modern appliances of wal
as the people Of China or Japan" General
Miles estimates that to put the Pacific coast
IN proper condition of defence would re.
quire 753 modern guns aud mortars with
their proper carriages and ammunition.
Their estimated cost would be $50, O67, $50
General Miles uses novel argument to en-
force the necessity of terrifying this coast.
He says the cost may be great, but points
out that in the mint at San Francisco there
lie 25,0O0,0oo silver dollars alone, piled up as
temptation to any third rate naval power
to plumber the coast Perhaps the shrewd
Krupps have seen both the fewness of our
guns and the plentitude of our defenceless
dollars, and think that, by DEMONSTRATING a
branch of their gun industry in the United
States, they may do well for Uncle Sam and
Themselves

MR.. REED AND THE sPEAKERsHIP.
al


Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine Is prime
favorite with Boston audiences, and there Is
no doubt that he will be very cordially well
coined tomorrow evening on his appearance
In this city as one of the speakers at the rail-
ly of the Young Mems Republican Club in
fremont Temple. An additional and espec-
ial interest attaches to MIR. Reed at present
in consequence OF the strong probability
that he will be the next Speaker of the House
OF Representatives. Every canvass OF the
preferences of the Republican members puts
Mr.. Reed far ahead of his competitors, and
he is particularly strong with the men who,
by reason of their experience, as well as
their ability, are to have the chief part In
shaping the Republican course in the coming
Congress. Mr.. Reed, as appearances now
are, will go into the Republican caucus with
the solid support of New England and New
York and a majority Of the strength of
Pennsylvania. With such phalanx at his
back. the odds will be in his favor at the out
set, amp it Is difficult to see he can be pre-
vented from winning. Boston Republicans
will doubtless embrace to opportunity tomor-
row night OF demonstrating in good numbers
their appreciation of Mr.. Reeds brilliant
party services, and their desire that he NAV
secure the honorable position for which he is
so manifestly fitted.
The Portland daily press., 1889-11-01

AS the time for the meeting of Congress
draws nearer, it becomes more and more evil
dent that the presiding officer of the lower
branch Of that body is destined to be the
representative from the first district of
Maine. The whole Of New England, New
York, and the most of Pennsylvania are
conceded to him already, besides the Pacific
coast and most of the strength of the new
States. Besides there are many congres S.
men in the West In those States that do moi
have candidates who will vote for him Oh
the drst ballot. The drift is so manifestly
toward Mr.. Reed that by the time the Repub-
lican caucus meets there can be little doubt
that bis strength will be sufficient to uomi-
nate him on the first ballot. And he would
be by no means a wild prophet who should
predict that the opposition to him should
completely collape before that time.

Mayor Grants attempt to compel the re-
moval of unsafe wires in New York has
come to an untimely end by means of an in
junction by Judge Andrews. The practical
effect of his decision seems to leave the mat
ter just where it was before the Mayor be-
gan his crusade. That is to say, the public
have no reliance except upon the care and
carefulness of the electric light companies
themselves. Possibly for time they will be
more careful than they have been, but it is
to be feared that they will soon settle down
again to their old time carelessness and
recklessness,

Manning and Henry Watterson, written by
the nervous, forceful pen of Charles A
Dana. They were put in type-at various
times, of course-but were not published
because the outstretched wings of the ange
of death were again closed in each instance

The Silent System.
From Good Words.


In the prison at Pentonvllle the frat
experiment was made of "the silent
system" and great results were expect
ed from 1t, both as punishment of the
most rebellious and stopping at once
and ever 'the filthy conversation of the
wicked" But this silent system, in
Guiding solitary confinement, had issues
unforeseen. Many of the prisoners
showed symptoms of mania, end it was
evident that the brain was affected by
this unnatural stiffness and seclusion.

project, and were of course anxious for
its success. The chaplain was one of

The Great Eastern Gone.
From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
we have 80 often been called upon in
past years to announce the last, and
the very last, and positively the last of
this magnificent but generally useless
ship, which has fingered on, through an
obscure and protitless existence, since
her single voyages to New York.
New Orleans and Melbourne proved a
commercial failure, that the stranded
hull on the Mersey shore, ready to be
broken up for few thousand pounds
worth of old iron, may seem but re-
mln1scence OF the fate repeatedly de-
clared to be imminent and commonly
believed to be past.
1t Is thirty years since she first put to
sea from the Thamas, and her passage
down the channel was marred by a
shocking disaster-from the blow up of
her steam apparatus, which cost ten
lives; but the laborious efforts to launch
this enormous 'Leviathan," as she was
at first called, in 1857, from Mr.. Scott
Russelps bullding-yard at Milwall, had
been ominous of ill-success. Men were
killed by the breaking of the gear al
tacned to hydraulic engines that slowly
pushed her, broadside on, into the COM
paratlvelv narrow river, and Mr.. Brunei,
the eminent engineer, dying few days
alterward, was thought to be victim of
sore anxiety and severe disappoint-
ment.

The Bishop and the Lighting Con-
ducCOr.
From the Pail Mali Gazette.


Here is good story about a bishop,
indeed, it would be good story even
about dean. Bishop was homeward
bound from the states. travelling luxuri.
ously in double cabin with Mrs. Blsh-
OPP. It was a very hot night, thunder in
the air, and the Atlantic liner slipped
through the water. doing her eighteen
Or nineteen knots an hour, the cabin
being lit: up with the lightning
flashes. Mrs. Bishop could not sleep
for the heat. Bishop, appealed to,
numbered out of his berth, and opened
portfolio. Suddenly there lobbed in
through the portfolio wooden ball at
tached to string. Bishop was per-
picked, but he tied it up, cuiling the
string by nail in the wall, and then re-
tired to rest. The ball was an apple of
discord in that peaceful cabin, for it hit
against the side of the vessel as she
lurched, and Mrs. Bishop grew queru-
lous and disturbed. Up started the
poor Bishop again, and. to end matters,
he uncoiled the cord, and put the bali
safe and sound under his pillow.
There was heavy thunderstorm, but
the Bishop slept soundly that night.
Next morning at breakfast, the Captain
presiding, he told the tale with good
deal of Episcopal soemnity and detail.
The Captain laughed jmmoderately.
Bishop laughed too. thinking his story
good one. Then the Captain told him
that the ball was the end of the light
ming condnc or. Bishop that night
looked under his pillow before going to
bed and slept with closed portfolio.
