LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.

At this festive season of the year. a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneficence and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the breadwinner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid flight of
Imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of a fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, a similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual.

but one which should be treasured in

The outcome of the long and bitter
fight between the Lewiston municipality
and the street railroad company is an or
der from the court permitting the COM
pany to keep it's tracks open, on condi-
tion that the streets be kept in safe con-
dition for teams. Apparently some of
the people do not like this solution, and
are predicting all sorts of dire conse-
quences from the keeping of the tracks
open. For the benefit of those anxious
individuals we would say that there was
just the same rumpus in Portland when
the tracks were first opened as in Lewis
ton, and the same predictions of disas-
trous results, but after an experience of
a number of years the feasibility of keep
ing the tracks open without serious in
convenience to ordinary travel has been
so satisfactorily demonstrated, and the
keeping them open has proved to be SO
great a public convenience that return
to the old policy would encounter far
more vigorous protest from the people
than was witnessed when the change to
the present policy was made. In few
years the Lewiston public will be won
dering at their present attitude on this
subject.

This week great many Congressman
will visit their districts and will be able
TO get from personal observation some
idea of the condition of the country.
They will not find it satisfactory. They
will find in all the large cities and the
manufacturing towns hundreds and
thousands of men out of employment
and hundreds and thousands of others
working short hours or at reduced wages
With the observance of these things will
come the inquiry as to the cause
Last summer when the condition was
not SO bad. we were told that it was the
result of bad financial legis lation, and
that it would disappear with the repeal
of the Sherman law. But inasmuch as
that law was repealed several months
ago and the situation has not improved,
but on the other hand has gone from bad
to worse the explanation of last summer
will net be accepted now. The Congress
man will have to look elsewhere for the
cause of the solution If he really wants
to arrive at the truth, the quickest and
surest way to do SO is TO inquire of the
employers of labor. They know better
than anybody else can why they have
shut down their mills and factories.
why the men whom they were employ

ing year ago are not employed today.
The Congressman can quickly learn from
this source what it is that is paralyzing
labor and capital, what it is that is COM
pelllng movements in every large city for
the relief of the poor, what it is that in
less than year has changed unwonted
prosperity into adversely and distress far
exceeding in its breadth and depth any
thing the country has known for twenty
wears

The extreme silver men are neither
dead nor sleeping. They have by Enc
means given up hope of getting some
favorable legislation out of this Congress
and at the present session. Their pro-
gramme seems to be to antagonize every
important measure in the hope of COM
polling some concessions to their views.
Even Mr.. Wilson'S tariff bill will encoun-
ter the opposition of many of them who
are Democrats unless some concession is
made to them.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff advises that the
whole Hawaiian business be dropped.
That is good advice, but it comes rather

The Portland daily press., 1893-12-25

Probably the Democratic organizatio n
is powerful enough to put the tariff bill
through the House in substantially its
present form, but it is not likely that it
will go through with the celebrity tn at
Speaker Crisp anticipates. A great many
Democrats will want to speak on the
subject and to choke them off may en-
danger the bill.

appeared to be fully 100 feet in length

motion, thrashing the water with its

State, and to uphold the civil authority.

State, and to uphold the civil authority:
The powers given to the State Board OF
Health are limited and defective. 1t is pro-
vided that the board shall not in any way be
a charge upon the State, yet to be effective
there must be an expenditure OF some money.
1t cannot be expected that business men can
give their zine to the State, pay their travel
ing expenses and hotel bills without REIN
bursenent, not to speak of compensation for
work done aud responsibility incurred. in
view of the fact that we cannot hope to es-
cape for all time epidemic diseases, it is
both wise and prudent that the statute should
be revised and the Board of Health put upon
better basis, both as to its powers and the
compensation of its members.
In conclusion l cannot repress the belief
that her great wealth and undeyeloped re-
sources and the inestimable advantages OF
her geographical position, her soil and her
climate will in the near future place Virginia
in the position she once occupied, as the fore
most State in point of wealth, population AMI

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.
of the Alexandria Gazette.


Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.)
RICHMOND, Va. Dec. 6, 1898.
Not in many years has politics been
so interesting in Virginia as at the pre-
| sent time. The mercury in the politl-
| cal thermometer is way above the boil
ing mark and the liveiest fight that
ever took place in this section is about
to be witnessed.
The Legislature met to-day and as
the members took their seats, an air OF
self.consciousness was visible like that
seen upon the Princeton foot ball team
as they gallop out upon the arena. For
several days the law makers have been
button-holed and closeted by the politi-
clan and office seeker, for votes are pre-
cious aud no man on earth can tell just
how many the different aspirants need
to insure his election.
The great fight is Of course for the
Senatorship, but the victor for the Sec.
retaryship of the Commonwealth Is not
yet an assured thing.
Gen. Fitz. Lee and Mr.. Thomas S.
Martin are certainly leading in the Sen
atorial race and the friends of each are
claiming to be ahead. Only very lit
tie betting is being done but the feeling
in Richmond is certainly Leeish, though
the Scottsville gentleman has great
following. Senator Hunton is also en-
tered in the contest, but some of the
wise ones say he will be out classed
when it comes to the long term. 1t is
generally conceded, however, that he
will get the short term.
Each of the three gentlemen have
headquarters at the Exchange Hotel
and have number of lieutenants who
are working untiringly for their favor
ties. The balloting will hardly begin
before the first Of next week, and I'M
less all the signs fail it will take mum
Der of ballots to decide the matter, and
the man who could to-day call the win
ner could win fortune.
Senator Lawless will almost certain
ly be the secretary Of the Common
wealth. The gentleman from the Sec
ond district is warm personal friend
of Col. O'Ferrall, and did able work for
him in the last election. He has a
splendid backing and it is thought will
surely win.
The present secretary is also an APP
plicant for re-appointment and has a
| number of friends among the law
makers who will vote for him, He was
an anti-0'Ferrall man before the Au-
gust convention. but after that time
was willing worker for the nominee.
Of course the mere fact that Judge
Flournoy opposed Col. O'Ferrall in the
convention will not influence the latter,
hut it is perfectly natural that in Sc
Letting an officer who will be so close to
the chief executive the latter's
feelings should be considered and it is
well known that the Governor elect
favors Senator Lawless.
At noon to-day the first session of the
General Assembly of Virginia met in
the Capitol and the officers nominated
at the caucus last night were induct-
ed into office, after which the Govern
or's message was read.

THE DIFFERENCE between the pre-
sent election law of the State, about the
alleged injustice of which there is now
some State newspaper talk, and the
law it superseded, is that while under
the latter one democrat and two repub-
lican judges of election were appointed
for every polling precinct by a republi-
can county or city judge, under the
former, one republican and two demo-
cratic judges are appointed by demo-
cratic electoral board in each city or
county. The vast democratic majority
in the State certainly entities the dem
ocrats to a majority of all the States

GOVERNOR MCCoRKLE, of West Flr-
ginia, who stumped his State last fall 10
favor of free trade, but recently argued
before the ways and means committee
of the United States House OF Repre-
sentatives in favor Of a protective tariff
on coal, now says that West Virginia, to
which, as composed of one-third Of Viz
ginia's territory, was properly assigned
one-third of Virginia's debt, so far from
owing any part of that debt, is cred
itor of Virginia to the extent OF more
than halfa million dollars. 1t would
seem from ali this that what the Gov
ernor says is of no consequence to any
body else, and of very little to himself.
If Virginia owed the two-thirds OF the
debt she has settled, unquestionably
West Virginia owes the remaining third,
and, for the reputation of her own PEG,
ple, should settle it as soon as posi-
ble.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC 6, 1898

THE Presidents recommendation, IN
his recent message to Congress, that
"the authority of the Secretary OF the
Treasury to issue bonds shall be made
clear, unhampered by present disad-
vantageous regulations as to the rate
of interest and time of maturity"
certainly implies that he is not averse
to the Wall street proposition for an In
crease of the public debt by the issue
of gold bonds, in which that street can
invest the millions of capital now lying
idle in its vaults. 1t is hoped, now
ever, that he was not opposite IN his
expressions, and that the natural inter
pretation of his words is not correct.
As a democrat, he can not want all the
other people of the country taxed to
nav interest on bonds issued solely for
the profit of few rich men who desire
to have their money securely invested
in such bonds, aud to have their cou'
pons cashed twice year.

THE MOST ridiculous thing that has
appeared in the protectionist newspa-
pers recently, is the statement in one of
them printed in Baltimore, to the effect
that the suspension of tin can manu-
factory in that city was due to the pro-
vision in the new tariff bill, yet to be
voted upon, reducing the tariff tax on
tin plate. 1t is vastly more probable
that the existing high tariff on tin plate
caused the suspension. How fall in
the price of the material of which tin
cans are made, should be Objectionable
to those who have to buy it, is what
only u clean daft protectionist can tell.
