HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion OF The Editor and the
Opinion of Others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics Of the Day.

The New Bcrne Journal raises th e
danger flag and declares war in the
following language:
"a danger menaces the Demo
cratic party Of the country. 1t does
not come from the disciplined forcf 8
of its old enemy, the Republican
party, but from men who ride out
Of its own ranks under banner in
scIibed with it's own principles. In
a word the Democracy is menaced
by the Alliance"
Then we suppose the Journal and
those who think like it will fight
the menacing danger. The Alliance,
striving for the repeal or unjust and
tyranous laws, for the enactment Of
remedial legislation and for the up
lifting Of the Impoverished masses,
is a menace to Democracy Then
surely latter day Dem ocracy has de.
generated in practice from: what il
once was i'll both theory and prac-
tice. No, the trouble il that the
majority OF the party has decided tC
assert itself and use the machinery
for bringing about relief. The mi.
nority pro bably DO not object to the
relief coming, but they object to the
rank and file asserting itself. They
fear that this means a change OF
leadership. All, there is the trou.
ble! And it is from that clement
Of the Democratic party that the
howl is coming. The great majori
ty of the party is the Alliance and
those who are with it in its efforts

nnn.a Reriau Of Trade.

NEW YORK, March 27.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
If no news is good news, as concerns
the condition of business at this season,
the outlook is fairly satisfactory. Trade
has been rather dull and hesitating as
is natural at this season and there Is
rather more complaint OF slow collec-
lions, but throughout the southwest bad
weather and the bad state OF country
roads supply an explanation. Money Is
in fair and increasing supply.
The outlook for the coming crops con-
tiuues exceptionally good.
II has been week OF unhealthy spec
ulation in food products, owing to des-
perate efforts OF powerful combinations
to force prices on which they can I'M
load without loss. The general aver
age of prices reached its highest point
this year OH Monday and though now a
fraction lower is still per cent above
last week, but manufactured products
do not share in the advance, except in
q few cases.
The iron market has better tone.
At Boston, money is easy and trade
dull because Of the weather. At Chi
cago, sales exceed last years for the
same week, and receipts Of wool consid-
erably increased, while there is q de-
crease in -four and lard and decrease
OF one-half in dressed beef. At other
northwestern points trade is fair.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days, number 256, as compared
with total of 275 last week. For the
corresponding week Of last year the fig
uras were 243.

IT has long been held by those who
are anxious for the amelioration Of
labor that the age Of ten is too early
for the commencement of life OF toll.
Children who are sent to work at that
age must inevitably in many cases be
stunted both in their mental and in
their physical development They are
taken from school for half the time
at the period when the capacity for
the acquisition of positive knowledge
is just being fairly awakened; their in
terest and attention are divided be-
tween their educational tasks and their
employment at the factory, and so to a
large extent frittered away through
the impossibility of their being con-
centrated on either.

THAT there should be magazines de-

to the science Of housekeeping. is very
desirable and it is noticeable that with

A Story About tho Vice President During
the War Period.

A Story About tho Vice President During
the War Period.
A story is told of an incident of the
war, which took place at Pushaw Pond,
then, as now, q famous fishing resort
for Bangorians. Early in the strife the
Government secured guns and cannons
wherever it could, and every private
foundery and machine shop in the land
was pressed into service to produce
weapons with which to arm the vo!un-
teera Thus it was that the old Bangor
firm of Hinckley & Egery became en-
gagged in the work. The story goes that
at one time they had contracts to make
and did make some cannons. When
ready for service, these were taken out
to Pushaw and to the Perch House Land
ing, the understanding being that if
Dollar Island, about three-quarters Of
mile away and about an eighth of mile
long, could be hit by ball from one Of
the new guns, they would be accepted
by the authorities. A Bangor man had
charge Of the practice. and really felt he
was the biggest gun there, as he repre-
sented the government.
Now, it SO happened that the war Vice
President, the Hon. Hannibal Hamln,
arrived home that day, and as he was
Jealous in everything pertaining to the
country's welfare, he drove out to
Pushaw to witness the proceedings and
for some time was an interested specta'
tor Of the vain attempts to hit the lsland'
though it was plain to be seen the can
non could project ball twice that DIS
lance. AS the tale is told, it is evident
there was too much cider at the rear Of
the guns, rendering the aim faulty. :,
After the guns had been loaded and
discharged several times, Mr.. Hamlin
joined the amateur artillerymen, sighted
over the cannon and aimed it, after
which it was discharged. The aim was
true and the ball skimming the waters
surface struck the island at the waWt
