Augusta Letter to Oxford County Record.l
One OF the brightest and smartest boys
connected with the legislature is Master
Atwood Spaulding, Of Caribou, Aroostook
county. He is popular with the members,
and has that kind of cheek or self assurance
which is not offensive but wins its way into
ones favors. He says he is red hot Re-
publican land SO is my mother" he re-
marked the other evening, as he twirled a
large roll of manuscript he had lust COM

slons, and mother and / always floor them.

our last debate In our favor" This led us
to inquire as to the contents of his manu-
script. Il have been copying things relating
to the 'Garcelon count out The last dis

father will have to yield this time" This
hfteen-year-old lad bad been copying from
the testimony relating to the "count out"
until eleven O'Clock at night, for the parpose
OF convincing his father that he and his
mother were In the right In the discussion
about that affair. What impressed me most
forcibly was the absolute good nature he
showed in regard to it, and the reyerential
feeling towards his parents. He is always
good natured, and great favorite, and will
surely make his mark.

The appointments to the minor foreign

high level. Ex-senator Palmer OF michigan

like manner, Mr.. Thomas OF Maine, who re-
turns TO the post which he held at Stockholm
under previous Republican administration,
speaks the Swedish language. Mr.. Enander.

Liberal officials are retained under the
Tory government in the Dominion,
but the condition seems to be that they shall
be the most inoffensive of partisans. Ac-
cording to the Halifax Chronicle they are
not much better off than galley slaves. They
dare not call their political souls their own.
AT election times the government estab-
fishes system Of pimping and espionage
over such members Of the civil service as are
suspected of Liberal predictions, which Is
at once unmanly and contemplate. Liber-
ais in government employ are marked men,
They are harassed and worried in every
possible way. so that life is almost burden
to them. The slightest protest is used to
dismiss them. II they are suspected Of voting
according to the dictates of their reason or
conscience"

Judge John NJ. Thurston of Omaha, who
was temporary chairman of the national
convention which nominated Gen. Harrison,
had some aspirations to be Secretary of the
Interior. but is good natured over his failure
to realize them. He is largely interested in
railroads, and this was no doubt sufficient to
determine President Harrison to give to
someone else the great Office that has so
much to do with the land grant railroads.

President Harrison's rule that all contro-
versies over rival candidates for offices shall
be decided by the delegations when possible,
has an interesting application In the Terri
tories. which have one delegate each. The
Washington Territory papers are wondering
whether President Harrison really means to
allow Delegate Allen to have control over
the appointments of the Territory.

Those who managed the case for Boothbay
Harbor at Augusta expressly promised that
they would gladly give the hearse 10 the old
town IL only the line of division could be
drawn. The Legislature drew the line of
division, and now the hearse belongs to the

of Boothbay Harbor. having solemnly
promised In the presence of the Maine
Legislature to forego that hearse should now
endeavor 10 hold on to the vehicle. We can
imagine how the Legislature, were it In ses-

Legislature, before whom the promise was

to make the change. The purchase of the
books and their distribution TO schools will
be under the immediate control Of the school
committee Of towns They are to make the
regulations for the distribution TO the schools
and through the teachers the regulations for
the pupils. In towns that have abolished
the district system the books will be turned
over directly from the school committee to
the teachers. At the close of the term the
books are to be returned to the teacher, the
pupils being held accountable for any un-
necessary wear. tear or damage. Where the
district system prevails the school agent will
receive the books from the committee and
deliver them to the teacher Mr.. Luce,
State Superintendent of Schools, estimates
that the change will cost the towns at the
rate OF about one or two dollars per scholar.
For this expense he thinks the people will
be amply repaid; because the schools will he

The copper syndicate has entirely col
lapsed, carrying down with 1t the Compton
d'Escompte, the second largest bark in
France, and inflicting serious loss upon the
Bank Of France. The syndicate attempted
to corner the copper market and put
up prices. 1t made an agreement
with the miners to take all the copper
they could produce at a liberal price. Under
the stimulus of this agreement production
was largely increased, while the increase In
the selling price curtailed consumption.
Copper poured in upon the syndicate in a
constant and copious stream. until the accu-
mutation became SO great that the syndicate
could not carry It, 1t then applied to the
Compton d'Escompte for assistance. But
the load kept .ccumulating, and soon 1t be-
came too heavy for this institution, which
has now broken down under it. The syndi-
cate was organized to cheat the consumer
But as frequently happens in the case of
such conspiracies. the conspirators fell vic
tins to their own cupidity and folly. The
syndicate and all those who helped bolster
Its nefarious scheme are Justly punished.

CHICAGO, July ia somewhat SEN
sational move was made in the Cronin
case today. John F. Beggs, the impris-
oned Senior Guardian of Camp 20, Clan
ma Gael, filed new petition for writ of
habeas corpus, giving as the reason why
he should be set at liberty that he had
been Jailed and indicted solely in the
hope that he would thus be forced to
turn States evidence. The testimony
expected of him, he alleges, has no
foundation in fact. He says, while he
was illegally imprisoned and secreted
from his friends, Immediately preceding
his indictment, he was taken before the
States Attorney, who tried to induce
him to make certain statements,
the facts 30 desired not be-
ing within Beggs' knowledge, and
that in the conversation the States At
torney said in substance: SPY the news,
papers you have been condemned al
ready; the only way, or the best way out
of it, is to stand with u.s." meaning
thereby to stand with the prosecution,
and further stating in the conversation
HIf you accept employment with us we
will pay you for it,"
Beggs responded in substance: "lf you
mean by standing with you that l shall
give you testimony by which any person
or persons might be convicted of the
| murder of DR.. Cronin, cannot accept
your employment for the reason that l
have no facts which would tend to con-
vict, or even cast suspicion, upon any
person."
Soon after this the indictment was re-
turned, and the petition adds that since
then there have been most persistent and
determined efforts on the part of the police
and the States Attorneys office to com
pel the relator to divulge certain alleged
facts stated in an anonymous letter re-
ceived by the States Attorney regarding
alleged action in Camp 20 on DR.. Cronin'l
case. These facts the relator has failec
to give, for the reason that they do no
exist.
The States Attorney having stated tina
he did not desire at the present time tt
make public his case, Beggs offere t
have his hearing take place privately
Judge Horton will hear the arguments OF
the petition tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-The contest
over the property of the late Thomas ID.
Blythe commenced in the Probate Court
this morning. 1t promises to be one OF
the most celebrated cases ever brought
before the courts of this State, as the
property involved is valued at about
81 900, 900, and the claimants number
over 200 persons.
After the case had been opened in
court this afternoon ex-Judge Boalt read
the allegations of plaintiffs complaint,
chief among these being that Florence
Fl. Blythe was and is the daughter and
child of Blythe, and, as such, en-
titled to his estate, as he
left no other heirs; also that
paper, the whereabouts of which
is now unknown, was written and signed
by Blythe in the presence OF witnesses,
declaring that Florence was his child.
Boalt then related the circumstances ol
Blythe's meeting in London with Julia
Perry, the mother of Florence, and read
COPIES of letters from Bly, ythe to Miss
Perry, in all of which bank notes were
enclosed. and which referred to the birth
of the child. In one letter Blythe wrote
"Kiss Flo for me-"
Letters from Blythe to James @. Perry,
Florence's grandfather, and with whom
she lived, were also read. Blythe in
these letters, repeatedly acknowledged
Florence as his daughter. The first letter
= 10 Hota1 (lptnhQr 81
1881. The letters to her are signed
"Your father, Thos. H. Blythe"
Throughout the correspondence Blythe
spoke of the pressure of his business
affairs and his hopes of removing te
Colorado, where he could have Florence
and her grandfather to visit him. The
last letter to Florence was written Apri
8, 1888, the day before Blythe's death.
Boalt stated that the fact of the exist
ence of paper signed by Blythe, &C
knowledging Florence as his heir, woulc
be established, and this would constitute
plaintiffs case.

Corbett created merriment from the

In the succeeding round he led with
his right and left, reaching Choynski's
nose and ears frequently, while the lat-
ter's blows were divided between Cor

plause greeted the men at the close.

Mr., BLAINE spent many monthS In the
company of Mr.. Carnegie studying politi.
cal economy in its bearings on wages with
view of making wages better. These
two bright lights of labor went to Europe
in order to be undisturbed in their
meditations on the bettering of the
American working man. Mr.. Blaine
having mastered Mr.. Carnegie's prin-
ciples, proceeded to expound them to the
American workingman, who swallowed
it all as q sucker does a baited hook
Now Mr.. Blaine has got the working
man fast in the barbs of his economic
hook, and handed him over to Mr.. Car
nergie, the sucker has been trying to play
the game fish and makes terrible ado
about being landed. He voted
for MIR. Carnegie's principles. and when
they are applied in the shape of scaled
rates of wages he finds them not to his
liking. But there is no use in kicking
against the pricks. Strikes only i'm
poverish the poor thrall Of capital, which
is 80 fat it can hibernate through many
months of enforced idleness, while thin
labor dies of consumption. 1t is much
better for working people not to be led
by Mr.. Carnegie at the polls, but to vote
for their own interests, than to put them
selves in his power, and then try to
escape through strike
