Stuart Phelps; he has done good work in
books for boys, and he also is making a
successful entrance into the first rank
of short story writer's on themes for
adults. The White Crown is an allegory,
and to confront war by the Prince of
Peace ought to mean the extinction of
the last bullet and sabre and the dying
out forever OF the murdefous roar of
battle. The Semaphore is highly dra-
matte and wildly exciting. The Value
of Cipher sets the unframed brain of
n stupid woman against the keen intelli-
gence of fine nature: and does it with
a mastery touch. The testimony of

ar:stocratic mistress is tried on an ae-
cusation of murder, is rendered with a
fine insight and truth to life. We ar
again shown the intricacies of circum-
stantial evidence. Of the remaining

Confronted, as we are, by the attempt OF the

venting the laborer receiving his just reward,
we invite all electors of Maine, without regard
to past political differences, who desire to pro-
test against this destructive policy of the Demo
cratic party; who are in favor of maintaining
the protective tariff; who belive in sound and
honest currency; in free popular education; in
securing political power to every citizen; in
promotion of the cause of temperance; in just
and equal taxation; in all measures for the en-
couragement and defence of American inter-
ests at home and abroad; and in an economi-
cal and efficient administration of state affairs,
to unite with the Republicans in the selection
of delegates to this convention.

Inc charge made by the New York
Fress that the Sugar Trust paid half a
million in cash for the amendments to
the Wilson bill in its favor and guaran-
teed to specializing senators a. rice of
thirty points in their sugar stock is of a
very serious character and calls for an
investigation. If it lis untrue the Press
has been guilty of an outrageous slander

whoever else may be implicated
in the deal should be exposed. and nun.
ished. Ordinarily such a charge
against smen occupying the high
position of members of the United
States Senate would receive little credit
But 1t happens unfortunately in this
case there are certain admitted facts
which in themselves are suspicious
That the bill was changed so as to give
more protection to the Sugar Trust is
well known. That that change was ut-
terly inconsistent with all Democratic
declarations upon the subject is also
we'll known. That the Sugar Trust has
maintained powerful lobby at Washing
on is also fact of general knowledge.
That several Senators have been speculat-
ing in sugar stock for some time back
has been frequently charged and never
disproved. Of course all these facts
might exist without any corruption on
the part of any of the Senators. But
taken in connection with the explicit
accusation made by the Press they con-
stitute case which cannot be dismissed
without thorough investigation. The
Senate owes it. to itself and to the public
to promptly institute an inquiry to as
certain the facts. The accusation is foo
serious to be passed over in silence,

burned three times, and in other ways
has had a very unprosperous career.

sensatlonalism, but it is crowd that
doesn't care to put out much money for
the entertainment. Hence the tabernacle
has frequently been loaded down with
mortgages and movements to lift them
have had to be oft repeated. Whether
the tabernacle will be able to rear its

According to the Boston Advertiser
there IS IN process of incubation at the

monize the warning factions of the
democracy. The plan is to have intro.
duced in the House and passed sort of
omnibus bill providing for the issue
Oh rnfee per cent. coin bonds, the coming
Oh the seIgniorage, the repeal of the fax
ON State banks and the issue nv tbe
National banks of currency upto the
1uil value OF their bonds. The issue of
ponds is expected to satisfy the anti
silver men, the coming of the seigniorape
the silver men. the repeal of the tax on
oGate banks the people who are cry
Tor more money, and the provision for
increasing the issue Of national banks
t2e people who do not believe in the
ooate bank currency. Every faction of
the Democracy will get something ont
OF this bill, and SOFT is argued. every
faction will be happy. The plan is some
what similar to that which has been

1t, the party today stands condemned

The Bangor Commercial saws it be-
ileyes in tariff for revenue, and that
lumber should be one of the articles
from which revenue should be derived.
why? Isn't lumber an article of general
nse? Isn't it necessity? Isn't it an
article which the poor man must have,
which he cannot get along without? If
tits taxed, doesn't the consumer pay the
tax, and are not thereby the many robbed
for the benefit of the few? Isn't that
the kind of robbery which the last
Democratic platform denounced and
which it declared should be put an end
tos Didn't the Bangor Commercial sup
port that platform and declare that If
Cleveland was elected it would be lived
up to? Then why does the Bangor Com
mercial want tax on lumber? IT
doesn't want tax ON wool, which like
lumbe is an article of general use, it
doesn't want tax on iron or coal? Wby
ON earth does it want tax on lumber
Why does it insist on taxing the roof
which shelters the poor man? Doubtless
the Commercial has some good reason
