WEST MEDFoRD, MASS. Oct. s, 1890

WEST MEDFORD, MASS. Oct. B, 1890
MR.. MURDOCH:

thanks for a free trial of your celebrated Liquid
Food. was Induced to giveit trial during the
late Mechanics Fair held in this city. had been
debitated from the effects Of shock Of paralysis

generations; several deaths In each; feel my
life was saved by taking this food; and after be-
ing treated by my medical friends with the assur-
ance would soon gain my health and strength,
l still was weak and dragged my left leg. 1 also
was suffering from nervous prostration and unable
10 control my feelings even among my best
friends. commenced the use of your food at the
fair, above spoken of October the 4th last, and
continued regularly, four doses daily. up to
this time. 1t had such good effect on me, the
nrst few days trial. have continued it with still
greater evidence Of its almost miraculous effect
on my general health and strength-that 1 want
all suffering humanity to know Of its worth In my
case. Twas on my feet IA hours daily, at the
fair, two months, without getting tired, and but
one breakdown of the nerves during that time.

the task without it, and my people say Murdock's
Food has worked mIricle in my case, and you
ought to let your friends and all mankind know
it. Oh. GOULD,

Vermont was admitted into the Union
March A, 1871, and hence was one hundred
years old on Wednesday. When 1t became
a State Vermonts population was about
S5,425. and for the next half century It grew
very rapidly, being 154,465 in 1900, 217. s95 in
1910 and 2SO,652 in 1880. Soon after this last
date the exodus to the West began and since
that time the growth of population has been
comparatively slow.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION MONDAY, MARCH IS.
FOR MAYOR,
GEORGE w. TRUE.

The neighboring city of Biddeford has en-
jOyed the blessings of Democratic govern
ment for many years past, with the result of
being about the only city in Maine whose
debt has increased in the last decade. Does
Portland want to be showered with this sort
of blessiDgsP If so then the logical thing to
do is to vote for Mr.. Ingraham and Dem
ocratic government.

The Massachusetts bureau of statistics has
been making inquiries to ascertain the num-
Der of abandoned" farms In that state. An
abandoned farm is defined by the Massachu-
sets bureau to be farm which is no longer
cultivated and the buildings on which are
unoccupied and falling into decay. On some
Of these farms grass may be cut or cattle
pastured, but nothing is done to enrich the
soil; no crops are cultivated, and the land is
practically left wild. 1t is shown that of IA
counties in Massachusetts IL have aban-
doned farms numbering from two In Essex
county to 212 in Berkshire, 2I3 in Rampden.
ZIG in Hampshire, and 229 in Franklin, CIV
Ing 1,461 abandoned farms In the state, with
total of 126, 509-acres. and an assessed yalu-
alton OF $1,076,328. The estimated market
value of these farms ranges from So to $14
per acre, and upon over one-half of the acre
age the farms have buildings. By COMPARE
son 1t appears that the area of all Massachu-
sets farms in 1885 was 1861, 1888 acres, and
the per centage of abandoned farms is 3.45 in
every 100. or about one in every 30. The
value of all farm lands in 1885 was 500, 8O3,-
OF, while the assessed value of abandoned
farms in 1890 was $l,076. 1928. giving the per
centage for assessed value of all farm lands
at ILL., The statistics of production which
the bureau also furnishes show that not
withstanding the abandoned farms the
quantity and value Of farm products is con-
stantly increasing and that the value of farm
property is also increasing.

The Burlington Free Press, one of the
leading Republican papers of Vermont.
speaking Of the Australian ballot law which
was tried for the first time in Burlington on
Tuesday says; There is but one opinion
it was an unqualified success. Voting pro-
ceeded quietly and rapidly, and there was
very little difficulty experienced on the part
OF the voters In understanding the new sys-
TEN. The expense of erecting the booths,
etc., was not worth considering in view OF
the advantages gained by its adoption. II
may safely be said that the Australian ballot
system in Vermont has come to stay" Re-

Massachusetts, voters are not to get an OPP
portunity to express their views on biennial
sessions and elections this fall after all.
The last legislature passed resolution SUBJ
mltted an amendment abolishing annual ses-
sions and elections, but under the Massachu-
sets constitution two consecutive legIsla-
lures must agree to resolution submitting
a constitutional amendment before the latter
goes to the people. The Senate of this legis-
lature voted in favor of the resolution, but
In the House, though there was majority in
favor the necessary two-thirds was wanting

Republicans should be preparing to give
the Hon. George w. True the full vote OF the
party on week from next Monday. What
Is needed to ensure success is work. Mr..
Ingraham is making personal canvass, ap-
pealing to all sorts Of persons. on all sorts of
grounds, and the Democratic ward workers
are busy as bees In his behalf. For some
reason the Democrats are extremely anxious
to get hold of the mayoralty. Probably
they have some political scheme on hand
which can be furthered through the mayors
Office. 1t may be safely assumed that it is
from no regard for the city's interests that
they are making the fight for the chief magis-
tracy.

1t is certainly humiliating to Republicans
who have been accustomed to look upon
their party as the party of convictions and
intelligence to see one of its representatives,
who prefxes to his name the title of Judge,
rise in the House Of Representatives and OBJ
ject to system Of balloting which allows
every man the utmost freedom to vote ac-
cording to his desire. on the ground that 1t
will help the Democrats, for 1t can help the
Democrats only on one Of two assumptions;
first, that many people who vote the Repub-
lican ticket do SO, not from conviction, but
under duress Of some kind; second,
that Republicans are not, as a
rule, so intelligent as Democrats
and that more Of them will therefore fail to
mark the ballot correctly. The Bangor
Wing has had good deal to say lately about
slandering the party and has been vigorous
ly cudPeling gentleman whom 1t supposed to
be guilty Of that offence. We hope 1t will
take in hand Judge Stearns and give him a
sound basting. Certainly when he asks
Republican House of Representatives to OPP
pose system of balloting that enables
everybody to vote according to bis desires
on the ground that twill help the DEM
ocrats he ISLANDERS the Republican party far
more basely than the men whom the Wing
has been rebuking have ever done.
