The Bar Harbor Tourist complains that the
natural beauties of that island are being ne
elected. lnyears gone by, before Bar Harbor
had become SO fashionable resort, people
who came there spent their time exploring
the surrounding country and In admiring its
many and undisputed beauties. But now
the tide of fashionable life has brought in
with 1t interesting things of an entirely
different kind. The visitor now admires the
unusual display, the elegant palaces, the
coming and going Of social events, the
throngs of elegant equipages on the drives !;
and departs fully satisfied that he has seen
Bar Harbor. The Tourist attributes this
general neglect of the natural beauties of
scenery to the lack Of enterprise on the part
OF those whose inter est 1t is to make the
most beautiful spots known to visitors. Per.
haps this is SO; but the general reputation
of the watering place probably has quite as
much to do with it. Bar Harbor is to-day in
the public mind place where the rich live
their summer life amid receptions, balls and
other fashionable entertainments. The
scenery is merely the setting for human
finery. Under these circumstances these
who 90 to Bar lHarbor are naturally those
who are attracted by the circumstances of
fashionable life. They do not care particu-
larly for beautiful and romantic scenery.
On the other hand, those who care for
scenery and nature, are inevitably turned
away to more quiet places. The neglect of
Bar Harbor's natural charms must be partly
inevitable. and beyond the advertiser power
to remedy.

The capture of the murderer Almy was
in keeping with his startling and fiendish
crime Perhaps no murder In all the history
OF New England was ever more tragic than
this. From the side of her mother ard sis
ter the hapless girl was dragged out to be
murdered In their presence and in spite of
their efforts. The murderer seems to have
studied to make his crime dramatic. And In
his surrender he seems, consciously or uncon-
seiously.to have preserved the role Of the ac-
tor There is nothing In the life of Almy to
associate him with John Wilkes Booth, whose
memory his performance recalls. Booth
murdered President Lincoln under the most
dramatic circumstances possible; and per-
ished fighting desperately in burning barn.
Almy. Intentionally or otherwise, made
all preparations to perish in the
same way. There can be no parallel
between man of genius like Booth and o
low william like Almy. But Almy's morbid
mind seems to have been actuated by simi
lar impulses to those that actuated Booth.

Our Democratic critics of the Mckinley

sugar. The Argus insisted for many weeks
that the changes In the rates of duty were

In favor Of the people. The New York
Tribune has tabulated the prices of sugar for
different periods beginning six weeks before
