Right 10 the Point.


The Hon. e. A. Boutelle of Maine goes
right to the point and pith of the Presi-
dents message when he shows that Cleve-
lands own words give the strongest posi-
bic mcture Of the change from prosperity
to calamity, privation and distress, pro
duced by the apprehension of Democratic
free trade. The criticism of the message
By Mr.. Boutellc is severe and caustic
because it is truthful and unsnswerable,
and all sensible persons will agree with
his assertion that the President
proclamation Of the relentless purpose to
prosecute the tariff reform crusade, regard
less of the disaster and suffering already
preeipItsted by the mere apprehension Of
il. must sound TO the intelligent working
masses of the country, who were 80 grossly
deceived = year ago as the tocsin of the
most deadly assault ever made upon the
prosperity of the American people"

James Robinson blanche or f. L.

the Portland reservoir break Tuesday and
said that he was unable to understand the
cause of the disaster, even after two hours
examination. The enhancement around the
break ia everywhere firm and compact. En-
gineer Shedd said that when the company
gave him the construction the managers EN-
phstically told him to build the reservoir in
the strongest manner possible, rs the break
in the reservoir in the western part of the
city was the reason of this extra caution,
and he took every pains in his power, as
