Sons Of the Revolution.

meeting of the Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution was held in Baxter
Hall Saturday afternoon, President Dewitt
in the chair. Hon. Horatio King of Wash
ington had sent the society an Grafton pro-
nounced at Biddeford ON the 4th of July,
1888, the anniversary of American indepen-
dence, at the request of the gentlemen of
that and the adjoining town Of
Pepperelboro. Cyrus King was the
father of Governor William King, and
was lawyer residing in Blddeford. The
Grafton was read ~ the society by the secre-
tary, Rev. ii. S. Burrage. 1t largely relates
to the strained relations existing between
this country and France. The French Re-
public had counted much on the sympathy
of the new nation ON this side of the sea,
which had been established with the aid of
French arms, but Washington and the Fed
eral party which he represented, maintained
a strict neutrality. When John Adams be-
came President, In 1897, relations between
France and this country were so threatening
that he called an extra session of Congress
on May 49, 1897 Three ENJOYS, c. c. Pinck-
ney, Elbridge Gerry, and John Marshall
were sent to France with authority to ad-
just the difficulties. The French govern
ment refused to receive them, but intimated
, that considerable sum of money would IA
cilitate negotiations, or that war would fol-
low. Every WE'LL" said Pinckney. "let it be
war; millions for defence, not one cent for
tribute" Pinckney and Marshall, who
were Federalists, were ordered to leave the
country. The insult to these ENJOYS excited
much feeling In the United States, and 1t
was at this period in our history that Cyrus
King delivered this Grafton at Biddeford.
Two copies of the Grafton are known to exist
In Maine.

FACTS VS.. CLAIMS !

1t is amusing to observe the various pre-
texts put forth by the clOthiers as grounds
for seeking business. Human ingenuity is
fearfully taxed in the productions of claims
for the various claimants. One is best, an
other the biggest, or the Oldest, OF the most
progressive, and so on until all appropriate
adjectives are consumed.
The facts we claim embrace not only the
single merits claimed by others but actually
contain them all. Does another produce the
best goods, our products will equal them.
Does another claim to be progressive, we
will allow our business system to speak for
us. Does another claim LOW PRICES, our
prices are marked i'm plain figures, are sub
ject to close inspection and comparison. Our
prices tell and the people tell them.
These are not claims, but solid substan-
tial facts which can be verified by visiting
our store.

We the undersigned stove dealers Of Portland,
have thoroughly and carefully investigated the
improved VAPOR STOVES OF 1891, and with
the high state of perfection which they have now
attained, we have no hesitation in stating, that
we believe them superior In all respects to any
known method of summer cooking, and have ac-
cordingly bought and placed on sale in our re.
Spectiye stores a line of them, varying in price
from $500 to $500, which we shall be pleased
to show any one who wishes TO investigate their
advantages, which, in brief, are as follows:
Their power is equal to coal range and while
they do not materially heat the kitchen, we guar
antee to boil three quarts OF water In eight min
utes, and TO heat three eight pound atirOns hiss
ing hot IN the same time on our $500 stove,
which Is at least three times as mucn work as
can be done on any kerosene oil stove sold for the
same money. There is no coal, SCOT, ashes, litter,
dust, smoke or kindngs to bother WITH coal
range furniture works perfectly on them, no
wicks to trim or labor of cleaning stove to pre-
vent smell fiame OF absolute purity; no odOrS
impaired to anything cooked or baked on them;

Greatness not Infallible.

Once in a while very unpretcn
tious country weekly gets off real
chunk of political wisdom, and such
the Southern Progress, modest little
paper published in Franklin county,
has done in the following:
Senator George has Influence and
he makes it felt. We, too, would be
influenced by him, but we remember
how we were once badly fooled by the
opinion of man as great as he. We
refer to Lamar. His moneytizing sill
yer predictions were about on par
with Georges Sub-Trcasury predic-
tons. Silver was mOnetiZed and La
mars predictions dropped harmlessly
through, and since then we have ac-
customed ourselves to receive great
mems opinions with great deal OF
misgiving..
Barkslale represents the Alliance
or farming class, and although astute
and clear sighted, cannot see the dan
gers which arise before George in such
alarming proportions. Anyhow, he is
willing to venture change in the
present condition of affairs. George
is willing to try old principles longer
which never have won or ever will,
while Barksdale is willing to start of
on an imperfect measure which can
be perfected in the future, as eXpe-
rience may teach.
We have never thought the Sub
Treasury plan good one and we are
| \. Al
that score, but we endorse it as the
only means of bringing Congress tC
its senses and breaking up class leg
islation. If that was broken up there
would be no necessity or cause for the
kicking of the farming class. Until
class legislation is dispensed with the
agricultural people will continue to
kick, and that high, too.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-07-02
Allinnccmcn. Listen.

According to the L'wrcnce County
Press, Col. Hooker said in his speech
at Monticello that it is the business of
Alliance men to suggest something
better than the Sub-Treasury they
are the ones clamoring for relief; they
know its defects, and if there is not
brains enough in the Alliance to de-
wise something constitutional, demo-
cratic and practical, let it sink.
That is the spirit in which the de-
mands of the oppressed farmers of this
country are being met by the states
men and politicians who oppose the
Sub Treasury. What do the people
pay Congressman for if not to work
and lcgislatc in the interest of the peo-
pie a? Col. Hooker has been sent to
Congress twelve years and been paid
50 900 year, making $4,000 he has
received altogether from the hard
earnings of the people $50 per cent. OF
this being paid by the farmers), to do
their lcgislating for them, and 10 and
behold, ther are tauntingly given to
understand now if they want the re-
lief they are demanding at his and his
colleagues hands, they must furnish
the brains and formulate the measure
to secure it.
On what meat has this Caesar fed
that he hath grown so great? When
he commences to swing around the
circle next year asking these same
farmers to send him back to Congress
for the seventh time, he will find, il
lie doesn't mind, that if they have tC
furnish the brains they will alsC
furnish the Congressman and pay the
S., 900 year to some one who is will
inT to earn it.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-07-02

"They call giving the farmer ware
house to store his cotton and advanc-
ing so per cent. of it's value, class leg
islatiOn," said President Polk, after he
had pointed out many examples of the
worst kind of class legislation sane
toned by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats, "but that is not so. The farm
er would never put his cotton in a
ware house unless he needed money
to pay debt or buy something with,
and the money thus put in circulation
would be benefit to all classes of the
community
