Wait and See.

The Auburn Gazette. after reading the
interviews with business men published by
the Boston Herald, comes to the conclusion
that we can possess our souls In peace and
quietness until the practical operation Of the
new tariff law supplants opinion with posi-
tive knowledge. That is a very sensible
conclusion. Down here In Maine there is
much less excuse for undertaking to antici-
pate the effect Of the Mckinley bill than In
tne other States Of the Union. There is no
erection impending here, and predictions
tnat the poor man is to suffer on account of
tne new duties do not admit of even the poor
excuse that can be made for them in other
States namely, that somebody may be scared

The Boston Transcript. which seems to
voice the sentiments of the Boston importers,
makes rather unfair criticism of the action
OF the Maine Congressman in framing the
tariff law:
1t will not be forgotten that none OF the Maine
congressman have supported with alacrity suct
reciprocal rade relations with Canada-%hicl
would be so advantageous to Boston an0 Massa
cnuSetts as would let Nova Scotia lime. potatoes
IS an addonaI fact %"rp ~ bei M dg hsn
that Maine congressman succeeded in providing
for their constituents IN regard TO lime, lumber
and potato. IN most notable and In one Iespe. t
not creditable manner In addressing the people
OF Massachusetts. these Maine congressman
should not hold back all reference to what they
did, during the grand scramble, for the producers
OF their own state. Massachusetts men are in
terested In the prosperity OF Maine. Still they
would moi object TO buying their potatoes, coal,
lime and lumber where they could obtain them al
tie cheapest rate.
Such a complaint as this froms Massa-
chusetts paper is ungraclous to say the least
1t puts Massachusetts in the position of the
old lady. who, having borrowed her neigh

to have on each of the thousands of articles

That nobody pretends to deny. That
under 1t we increased amazingly in wealth

the general average of prosperity and COM
fort among the people was never so great as
during the period in which that tarih was in
force Is not seriously disputed. Now the
new tariff bill in its general character Is

The election in New York State next month
will be important and interesting aside from
the issues to be decided and the party in
terests involved. Three new laws guarding
and regulating the suffrage are to have their
first trial. New York has gone beyond al
other States in the safeguards she has erected
about the ballot box; and as in her cities are
to be found the elements of society that will
put those safeguards to the severest tests,
her example will be watched with interest
New York will put to trial three new laws
the Registry Act" the Ballot Reform
Act" and the Corrupt Practices Act" The
two last named are not such perfect laws al
the friends of pure elections wished; but
they were .he best that could be obtained
with the consent of the Democratic COVER
nor of the State. 1t is not thought that
they will prove seriously defective. The
registry act simply provides for the registra-
tion OF all the voters in the State. Hitherto
registration has been required only in the
larger places The ballot reform act intro
duces the Australian ballot, although not in
the perfect form secured by the Massachu-
sets law. Still the New York law has pro-
visions sufficiently strict to bother seriously
the "heelers" who have hitherto controlled
and voted large companies of voters. The
keepers of low boarding houses, who have
hitherto found 1t very profitable to sell their
boarders at so much head to political man
ayers, are not this year making the prepara-
lions they usually make for their specula-
ton. Finally the corrupt practices act is
aimed at those who corrupt the suffrage as
well as these who are corrupted. This act
requires every candidate for Office, whether
successful or not, to file sworn statements
with county clt rks within ten days after
election, giving full account of all moneys
expended by them directly or indirectly in
aid Of their election. Just how effective the
law will be In this respect remains to be
shown by trial. In England similar law
has been very effective In preventing bri-
berry. This New York act also has clause
providing very stringent punishment for
both the buyers and sellers of votes. In
Maine we have similar law; but it is prac-
tically dead letter. because it shuts off all
testimony. The man who sells his vote will
not testify against the man who buys 1t be-
cause he is thereby testifying against him.
sell and is thereby bringing punishment
down upon his own head This difficulty is
obviated in the New York law by a proyis-
ion that the testimony given by one party
upon the trial cannot be used against the
person testifying; and that the person so
testifying shall not thereafter be liable to
punishment for the crime as to which his
testimony is given. This provision unlocks
the door for testimony, and is much mora
reasonable than the absurdly high penalties
that were added to our law by the last legis-
latnra

Fine Healthy Skin
Care of Distressing Skin Disease
Gracefully Acknowledged by
New York Gentleman.

My little grandson having been cured of an
eczema by the CUTICURA REMEDIES, was pre-.
vailed upon by my wife and daughters to try 1t
myself for distressing skin malady that has been
the bane of my life for twenty years.
Itrequired good deal of persuasion to get me
to try 1T, for argued that man seventy years of
age could not be cured by the same remedy that a
two year-0ld child was. Twas perfectly astonished
at the result, however. In one week my eruption
had nearly disappeared, and in two weeks there
was not vestige of 1t left. transformation took
place from leprous to q fine, healthy skin. My
head, before commenced the use Of the CUTI

1t was expected that many speakers Of nation

political shrewdness, perhaps Mr.. Cleveland
