The Present Campaiqn.

While it is generally conceded that the
present is a campaign of education, and
that the dissemination of political literature
is highly important factor in Presidential
canvass. yet the New York Press says, and
with much truth, that campaign literature
cannot take the place of campaign oratory
in arousing the enthusiasm and stimulating
the energies of voters. The word spoken
is still the most effective human agency for
inspiring popular interest in political con-
tests. The Press further says that
every school district in this broad
land should leave its Republican
rally previous to the general election, and
that every voter. no matter what his politics
are. should have abundant opportunity to
hear the Republican position on the tariff
and the currency presented by able aud ex-
perrenced speakers. Intelligent public
sentiment is Republican, but it viii not do

tween Tsmmany Hall and the Solid South

hut it can he defeated by arousing all the
voters to the full realization of what Dem

1t is the duty of the Republican
committees having the campaign in
charge not only to provide ample facili-
ties for the popular education on pen.iing
political questions, but to see to it that
every Republican voter in the country s

Maine reader of the journal has been
Kind enough to send us d souvenir OF the
Canadian banking system, IN the shape OF a
one dollar noe of the Bank Of Prince Ed
ward Island. The bill il well engraved and
resembles our own national bank notes in
appearance. It contains on its face prom
ise 10 pay on demand one dollar ont OF the
joint Funds of the Corporation. The
bank failed in November, issi and the
Joint Funds of the Corporation proved
insufficient to meet the demands of the bill
holders, who finally realized only 81 per
cent. of their claims. Yet this bank had
been in existence fifty years and had a cap
tai of sl2O 900. About five years ago the
Maritime Bank of st. John. \. b.. which
hail several branches in different parts of
that province failed AMI, although its notes
were finally redeemed at par, many of the
people who held them at first and could not
afford to wait for the settlement of affairs
parted with them to spectators at from %
10 - per cent discount.
Probably some of the Maine readers OF
the Journal will remember handling the
bills of these defunct provincial banks. and
some of them possibly were losers by their
failure. However that may be, Maine people
can scarcely have forgotten two episodes OF
4 similar character in their own State. One
was the failure of the Shipbuilding Bank of
Roekland This bank was organized March
: 1853 and it went to the wall Jan. 10, 1855.
Not dollar of its circulation was ever re-
deemed and its bill holders consequently lost
every cent of the money which they held.
mother more recent failure wac that of the
American Bank of lIalloweil, organized in
ls5t or 1855 with capital o. $4,000, and
failed in 1868. The bill holders were of
fered % per cent. for their claims, but the
courts decreed that the stockholders must
redeem the bills. Par value however, was
not realized. even then. Eighty eight per
cent. was all that the bill holders received
and ~ years were allowed for the re-
lemption of the circulation.
Maine people who recall these and similar
disastrous experiences with the bills of
failed provincial and Maine banks will not
be in hurry to join the Democratic party
in its effort to revive wildcat currency.

Hon. Robert r Lincoln. United States
minister 10 the Court Of 81. James has just
arrived in this country on a brief leave OF
absence. He is in excellent health and
expresses great satisfaction with the nomi-
nations OF the Republican ticket. Knowing
fully, az he does, the public sentiment OF
Great Britain on the subject of silver coin
age and the probable action of the inter
national monetary conference Minister Lin
coin is of the opinion that there is reason
able prospect Of sufficient departure by
England from her hitherto strict mono
metallic basis to give great hope of some
practical steps being taken for the increased
use OF silver. and for their adoption by a
sufficient number of the important powers.
MI, Lincoln expresses himself as of the
opinion that bi-raetalism is the true policy,
and that it must yet be adopted by the none
tary powers on some conservative basis,
but pending an agreement of this sort any
attempt on the part of the nited States
alone to adopt free coinage of silver is to
be deplored. Mr. Lincoln's position Is such
that his views are certainly entitled to great
v eight.

Keeping Food Before Fowls.

To put food IN trough and then place
the trough where the hens can have free
access to the contents, is an inducement to
dIeness and also detrimental to success,
for the reason that it is better for the hens
TO be compelled to work and scratch.
When . feed trough is used, some of the
hens will cat more than their allowance,
and become excessively fat. Experience
shows that the best laying hens
are the ones that are
the most active. and the keeping of food
before them will ruin the best flock that can

trough when soft food is being given, but

Two new cruisers for the new nted
States navy will be put into the water early
next month, the olympia at San Francisco,
and the Cincinnati at Brooklyn Navy Yard,
The former promises to be very swift
and powerful commerce destroyer capable of
making more than twenty knots under forced
draught With a total displacement of D.
so tons and extreme length over all of 81
feet she will be almost 500 tons larger than
the Sar Francisco, Her power attack will be
proportionate, her main battery being made
up of four eight-nch breech-loading rifles and
ten five-incb guns of the same time. These
are exclusive of the auxiliary battery of II
rapid fire guns, and of five torpedo tubes.
Once equipped for service the Olympia
will probably be the most powerful unar-
mored cruiser under any flag in the
Pacific The olympia takes her name
from the historic city of the state
Of Washington where the first white
settlers of that now aonrishing common
wealth pitched their tents in 1916. The
Cincinnati is a sister ship of the Raleigh
