DEPARTMENTS on A BUSINESS pAsIs.
HAS GONE FOREVER.

"Sone tn recall now These are not many.
They are Offset by solid merits. The Police and
Fire and Health departments have been taken out
of politics. That fact Is incontesable The gain
Of II is great do not say that the former heads
OF the Police and Health boards deliberately put
them into politics They had not power TO take
them out. The machine put them in and kept them
in politics As party makc-weight, those de-
partments were public tyranny None are more
gratifed at their emancipation than their own
members The City Works Department has been
purged Of snecurists and idlers. 1t had men in It
who did nothing but draw their salaries. 1t had
men in IL who didn't even come 10 the office TO do
that. Their salaries were sent TO them by mail.
The contractors find the department honest and
impartial. That is better for them than the bur
dens and blackmail which were the price paid for
permission TO scant or scamp their public work.
The gain in efficiency is incalculable. The en-
HANGED morale Of public life, consequent upon the
refusal to make the department pubic dump can
hardly be exaggerated. The gain TO honesty, can

der tariff bill reduces the duty on

and that the centres of trade lying
along the Canadian border will suf.

THERE was a great gathering of
Republicans at Harrisburg last week,
in attendance at the meeting Of the
State Republican Clubs, and the cu'
thusiasm displayed by the great
throng was most encouraging, and
will be encouraging to the party
throughout the State. The speech
of General Hastings was the Keynote
of the campaign, and there we're
many ihings in that speech to set the
voter to thinking. For instance here
is a gem for the thoughtful;
"The we'll intentioned citizen who
has not decided how to vote at the
coming election may we'll consider his
ground. | hope he will inquire
Of himself how he likes the condition
since the Republican party has gone
out of power? How has it been with
him individually? Has he steady EN-.
ploymentH Is he paid the old Repub.
lican wage rates? Does be find the
cost of living cheaper, and the abili'
ity to meet the cost better? Is his
business prosperous? Is he contented
and confident of the future as before ?
When he has answered to himself
these vital questions, let him, on his
way to the polls, pass the silent mill
the cold furnace, the broken bank,
the deserted forge, let him pass by
poverty aud want, business paralyzed
and confidence vanished, and then re.
cord his judgment of the responsible
ity for these conditions and his hope
for the future in the ballot which he
places in the box"
A powerful appeal like the above
cannot be given too mnch promi'
nence. 1t is a statement of fact tha'
goes right home to the American
workingman, to the manufacturer, t.
the bank depositor, to the business
man, to the merchant of every class
to the man out Of work, to the maj
on reduced time, to the man with re
duced wages and to the man with nj
wages. These men should heed th
hard lesson learned in the past year
and vote to change the existing con
ditiOn of things.

THERE has been great rejoicing in
the manufacturing and the exporting
towns and cities of the Old World,
over the great boom given their busi.
ness by the passage of the Free Trade
tariff This is greatest in England,
but in Germany is very little less. In
Berlin invoices passing through the
office of the United States consul
general increased 30 per cent. on the
day the tariff bill was passed, and on
the two succeeding days the number
was doubled. This is sad news to
working meu of the United States,
and humilating to all rightly con.
structed American citizens The
only consolation is in the fact that il
will be An object lesson which will
briug valuable fruit by its bitter ex'
perieuce.

MATERIAL FOR A MYSTERY.
A Valise and Other Articles Found in Ok.
ford County Woods.

West Paris, Me-, April 30.-While several
Young men were out in search of May
flowers some half mile west of what is
known as Greenwood City, on the road rum
ing to Locke's Mills and about three or four
rods or more from the road into the woods
they came across black valise that had
every appearance of having laid where it
was found through the winter, and on
further search few feet from the valise
was found a canvas jacket, one pair of
white cuffs, a blank book, razor strop and
a money box containing no money. The
yalise, besides articles of clothing. con-
tanned letters and bills that may lead to
the further explanation of this mystery.
One bill read thus: Quincy, Mass, July l,
1893. Lew Sleep, Dr., to Abbott, Miller &
CO.. In pass book was found the name
of Lemuel o. Sleep. Further on was re-
corded the name and address of P. L. Sleep,
Marie E. Sleep. From the reading of the
memorandum it appears they were the
names OF the writer's father and mother,
Anson Street, Jamaica Plain, Mass. The
name of Ethel A. Ard, 1880, Dorchester
avenue. Mass, and the names of W. B.
Johnson and G.. A. Mitchell, Maiden, Mass,
were found in the diary. A letter written
from 23 Hyde Park, dated September 20, 1898,
commenced "My Dear Son." and was
signed, L. P. Sleep.
Several persons living in the vicinity re-
mort that two strange men We're seen quar-
reling one day last OCTOBER near the spot
where the valise was found.
