Some time ago EdYard Elliott of AL
bany was killed by pistol bullet and
coroner's jury decided that it was case
of self-inficted death. Elliott had
been twice married and twice divorced,
but before securing second divorce he
married an Albany woman who believed
that he was free man. She later
learned that at the time of her marriage
Elliott had not secured the second di-
vorce. She says that Elliott, on the eve
ming of his death, claimed that he had
not intended to wrong her and besought
her to have the marriage performed
again. This she refused, as Elliott had
made her miserable by his jealousy.
Thereupon, she says, her husband shot
himself This story, according to a
despatch to the Lewiston journal, is not
accepted by all the people of New Al
bany, some of whom think that the death
of Elliott has never been rightly ex-
planned.
1t seems that it has cost Tax Collector
Wyman of Sidney $120 to fight the suit
he brought against Mr.. G. Harmon who
refused to pay his As cents supplement
airy tax. Wyman's suit went against
him, hence the $120 costs. Now he
threatens to sue the town unless paid,
nU.
the selectmen pay Wyman he will sue
them for maladministration, on the
ground that, the court having declared the
supplementary tax illegal, the directors
have no right to support Wyman in his
suit. Harmon is a Democrat and wanted
to be collector, but Wyman, Republican,
got the job.
The Somerset county supreme court is

Wentworth The action is brought by
l.. L. Morrison to recover damages for in
iuries caused by board falling from the
staging of new block in process of erec-
ton by the defendant. In the RUSSELL
Emerson case the plaintiff alleges that
defendant has alienated his wife's affec-
lions and claims damages in $4,000.
The parties are prominent farmers in
the town of Madison.

Worcester, Lowell, Manchester, Woon-

A dispatch sent from Haverhill Friday
gave the information that Charles 81.
Fiske of Old Orchard, who was wanted
in Boston for alleged completely in con-
spiracy case in which his wife's character
was involved, had visited Boston and
given bonds for his appearance there next
Friday. The dispatch further says: "Mr.
Fiske was in this city last Tuesday and
was seen by local police officials on the
street, in company with Detective Reed.
He did not know at that time that war
rant was out for his arrest. He stayed
here over night. On the train he met a
friend who showed him paper with the
account of Reed arrest, but as he was
near home he decided to remain there
until yesterday, when he started for Bos-
ton and today gave himself up"

Of the people, have In the last few years ap-

PEELED to abdIcate, and these creature Of your
party having grown 80 strong that the laws Of the
country are pOWeTless to control them, have se-
cured separate form Of government for them
selves, known as railway commission.
The spectacle is presented to the world Of q
class OF citizens not amenable to the laws Of the
land, but having set Of regulations Of their own
cOntrtVlng.
Behold, then, the grand result Of the manage.
ment your party:
The public domain turned over as bounty to
robbers; the finances Of the country In the hands
Of the spoilers Of the people, and the public high
ways Of the nation turned over bodily to high
waymen.
The people Of the nation are weary of being
plundered under pretense Of law. Robbery Is
still robbery no matter what the form which
may be given to 1t. There is no longer justice or
a consideration OF the general welfare any
where. The people groan and cry out for re-
lief from lntolerable expressions and are an
swered with SneerS and called in derisIOn 'ca-
lamity hOwlerS." For many years we looked to
your party for relief from these expressions.
Time has at length convinced US that such hope
is vain. The enemies Of the people have taken
complete possession Of your organization and It
is to day the very emblem Of Wall street greed
aud avarIce, without thought for the mass Of
the people.
These facts and this condition of things thus
faintly outlined has driven me from the party
thus prOstituted to the COuntry's ruin and has
compelled me, with thousanOs Of others, to at
tempt through the Peoples party to restore the
people Of the nation to their rights and avert
those dire calamites which In all times have fol-
lowed Wickedness In this world.
And this being the condition Of mind obtain
ing with me, cannot consent In silence that
this gavel, made Of my timber, given me In the
days of Republican grandeur, shall be prOstl-
tuted to the base office of keeping order In
convention Of that party when it has gone so far
from It's original purposes has made itself the
champion Of the enemies Of human liberty and
human rights, and is certainly and rapidly push
ing this country into a bloody and terrible civil
war.
Under these circumstances demand the re-
turn Of the gaVel, and unless you are wiling to
add to the other crimes Of your party that Of re-
ceivlng stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen,
shall expect the immediate return of the same,

levied duties equal to

tween wages abroad
and at home.
The New York Post explains It thus:
$50 1t appears that the Mckinley tariff
has worked In way contrary to the de-
clared object of the American doctrine
of protection. Logically, the first Of
these two paragraphs requires US to be-
lleve that before the Mckinley tariff was
enacted, the duties levied on foreign
goods were not equal TO the difference in
wages between this country and Europe.
But the second paragraph says that
prices of manufactured articles Of gen.
eral consumption have been reduced by
the Mckinley act. But 1t Is impossible
for the manufacturer to raise wages in
the face of reduction Of the selling
price of his product Therefore the Nc
Kinley act has had an effect contrary to
the intentions of the Republican party.
This we have frequently shown to be the
fact as regards wages, but we did not
look for an acknowledgment of 1t in the
party platform. The plank we are con-
sldering could hardly have been more
malapropos it it had been drawn by an
