Truthful Statements Alone Worthy Of
Honest Men

one thing u clear and certain, which
Il, that apublic journal to exert nm honest
influence on the minds Of honest men,
must not state one week precisely the OPP
poslte of what it has stated or argued in
the preceding week. That Is exactly
what the Portland Press seems to forget.
But II few days since 1t was urging to the
utmost the building Of new state Capt
tol aud giving its warmest encouragement
to free railroad lunches and large delega-
tions to Influence the Legislature to endorse
the new Capitol scheme, which nobody pre-
tends 10 deny would cost many times over
more than to improve the present fine edi-
fee Il knew rs well then az il does to-
day. the condition of our state finances.
Finding the people and the Legislature
largely against the new Capitol scheme,
1t now turns square about, and frantically
utters the widest mathematics, thus try
ing to create panic and baseless preju-
dice against the report OF the Committee
on Public Buildings. such n course can
not win the confidence of anybody.
1t Is In the interest of economy and
common sense, that those who favor the
Improvement of the present state House,
ask for the necessary appropriation.
They do so after careful examination of
the present finances of the STATE. They
do SO after obtaining an hccarote statement
Of those directly responsible for the custody
and care of the states money. Those
favoripg the proposed state House I'M
provement know full well the
ground on which they stand.
They would be the last men
In the world to run any risk of making
the aggregate appropriations of the SEES
sion In excess of the States sure financial
resources. 1t Is enough to say in brief,
that the figures given by the Press are
utterly unreliable and misleading. The
Press may rest assured and all others may
rest assured, that this Legislature Is COM
posed Of sensible and reliable men. and
that they can be trusted to act in the in
terests OF the people, TO he the watchful
guardians of the States property, and
that they and the swora officials whom
they have chosen can be trusted to take
full care that the financial honor of the
State shall be maintained.

The present rush of European emigra-
South America is phenomenal. In 1882
the total number of immigrants arriving
at Buenos Ayres did not exceed fifty
thousand. In 1856 il was over ninety
three thousand. In 1887 it was ont
hundred and thirty-seven thousand four
hundred and twenty-six, and in eleven
months of 1883 the number was one
hundred and twcnty-eight thousand and
seven hundred and niuety-seven. The
Italians not only form the great bulk Of
the agricultural class ia the Argentine
Republic today, but are also occupying the
different grades Of commerce and industry
from the highest TO the lowest. The Ar
gentinc commissioner of immigration
speaks of them as the ''most industrious
and economical of any" The coionists
are principally drawn from the farming
population of Northern and Central Italy,
whose thrift and industry are proverbiai,
Next to the Italians come the Belgans
and the Swiss and In smaller numbers the
Germans. Ireland also is represented
there by few immigrants, to whom will
shortly be added nearly fifteen hundred
more who have Just left Queenstown
bound for Buenos Ayres, under the liberal
inducements offered by the Argentine
government Of y free passage to fifty
thousand agrieulturalists and artisans,
with food and lodging fifteen days after
their arrival.

A Diphtheria Scare.

There is no doubt that the diphtheria in its
worst form Is very prevalent in many cities
and small towns. At the same time, that
fact is no reason for frightening people out
of their wits. with every new case of sore
throat. Even liberated sore throat is bad
enough, and no person would have that for
fun. Yet hundreds of persons are said to
have had diphtheria who only had a severe
sore throat. The form of sore throat which
often passes for diphtheretic is what old
people call quinsy. 'Putrid sore throat"
known long before diphtheria, was probably
form of diphtheria, and very dangerous.
An old hospital nurse in Boston, says: 1T
amt the clear cold of winter that lays people
up with colds, catarrh, and sore threats, and
lays the children low with diphtheria; it's
the soft, pleasant, alternating with the wet,
slushy days" This is very true, and ex-
plains why those troubles are not SO prevail
ent this unusually soft rainy winter; the air
in fact, is laden with poisonous vapors.
The first symptoms of true diphtheria are
much like those of heavy cold on the
lungs. There is fever, some stupor, and
difficulty in breathing. Very sharp pains
are often felt in the neck glands, Just below
the ear, The tongue is coated, the throat
and tonsils intlameG, little white spots,
which increase and turn to a dirty yellow or
brown color next appear and peculiar odor
totally unlike liberated sore throat is
noticeable. If the disease is of the black or
malignant type nothing out a miracle can
restore the patients to their former good
health Very many reliable people claim
TO have cured severe cases of diphtheria
with Johnson's Anodyne Liniment Be that
as it may, it is worth trying, because so

Real State Economy.

1t is very noticeable that those who have
been very ardent In advocating the build
ing of new capitol, in one corner of the
State, at a cost of 81 600, 600 to $4,000, 600
pleading the absolute necessity of more
accommodations for the Legislature, the
State Government, and the valuable docu-
ments and archives of the State, have
suddenly changed their ground. Finding
public sentiment and majority of
the Legislature emphatically opposed
to their removal scheme, they quick
iy turn around and say the
State cannot afford to improve the
present State House. A remarkable evo-
luton and a remarkable inconsistency.
is clearly in the interest of State
economy, it is to save the money of the
people, that we advise the prompt
enlargement of the present fine granite
building, thus providing amply for the
safety Of the State archives, and putting
prompt termination to future agitation
and schemiug which stand directly In the

A curious housekeeper of experience re-
Gently made careful practical test of the
comparative baking value of a large number
of the baking powders in the market, i1clud-
ing thoss OF low and high cost She found
that twenty-five cents worth of Horsford's
Bread Preparation raised more flour and
produced much better results than the same
moneys worth of the cheap aduterated
powders. and also that it took fifty cents
worth of the ordinary high-cost baking pow
ders to raise the same quantity of flour. From
this she concluded that it was more economi-
cal to use the Horsfords than the low priced
sdulterated powders, and the product was
much better. We recommend trial of this
experiment By our lady friends.

What is this nervous trosbe" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember a few years ago the word
Mslsris was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past. So it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from q
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel lie
compelled to pass it OF through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can we'll

Notwithstanding the disastrous results of
the past two years for Maine farmers, it is
very rare indeed that farm in this State is
sold at forced sherif's sale But the Spring
field Republican reports that a week ago last
Penn, were sold by the sheriff for what they
would bring. This seems remarkable when
it is remembered that Berks county is one of
the best agricultural districts in that good
farming State, and comprises within its
borders many large cities and manufacturing
towns. Notwithstanding the hard seasons,
we believe Maine farmers enjoy as many
camforts, and are as well placed as those Of
any other State in the Union.
