CATION Of few weeks ago. Here it is:
TO NoSrfme: are "political cranks''
who think that everything bis own party does
i all right. and everything the other party
does Is all wrong. and il the enquiry in the
AMERICAN for one good thing done by the
Democratic party Is made bv such, we would
say Grover Cleveland vetoed the Bar Harbor

This is rich. | hardly expected it so
soon. | am delighted. 1t lnclnes to
pathos. has shade Of humor and sparkles
with wit. Right here l want to say that
am half disposed to make the announce
ment that the average Democrat knows
right from wrong. But will not be reck-
less. l regret that in this case our friend
Hancock is little mixed. Does he claim
that Mr.. Cleveland was the Democratic
party! Does he pretend that one hat only
was worn while Mr.. C. was President, and
when he removed his boots the party was
in stockings? Suppose we admit that Mr.
Cleveland tor four years was the party
Now see what muss such an admission
leads US into. OF course a Democratic
Congress must have passed that very same
Dill Now where are we? Do you know?
Pardon me, but is this the best you can do?
Oh, Hancock!
And then Mr.. Springer rises to speak.
| am sorry to find him in such company.
Come out, Mr.. Springer, from among them
and be useful in the world | know that
democratic truths" can be found only in
Democratic papers and l am glad of it.
Ii you will watch the course of events you
will find that those truths will have to be
discounted about 80 per cent
Now is the time to haul out and spread
barn manure.
This is hard year for Democracy.

her best interests. Two times he refused

fear, largely escaped the notice of the peo-

An Act to amend section ninety-seven of

Section ninety-seven of the school laws
of Maine is hereby amended as follows:
that after the word ruin" in the last line
of said section, it shall read: ''And it also

than ten minutes of each week of the
