Louisa Chandler Moulton is opposed to
women suffrage, for the reason that not
enough women want it. Upon the broad
ground of justice We can see no reason for
denying the right of suffrage to women.
If that right were to be conferred,
however, and only few women
should exercise it, the results might easily
be disastrous. The Indifference of stay at
home male voters is today greater menace
to the welfare Of the Republic than the
Vaccinations of its Tammany halls. To
largely increase this class of Indifferent vot-
ers who neither feel the responsibilities of
citizenship nor exercise its privileges would
be to further increase the dangers to our coun.
try by materially enlarging the powers Of
its vicious and ignorant classes. We
believe that any American citizen in fair
health, whois at home upon election day and
fails to register his vote at the polls should
be made amenable to law for his gross
neglect of duty. We should feel also that
if suffrage il ever granted to women, as it
seems to us it inevitably will be, it should
be accompanied BY such conditions ~ will
secure the fullest possible attendance at the
polls.

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

",Last evening, just after tea, while Mr.
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best of
health and spirits, was reading a newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned
physician. But it was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the e"-Holbrook Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
Tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it, Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal Some
symptoms Of heart disease are shortness Of
breath, fluttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells. fainting spells, dropsy, etc.

Chinese and cleanliness have little afiilia-
ton; hence the plague that is killing the
inhabitants of the Celestial but dirty king
dom by thousands. This plague is
doubtless blessing in disguise but not one
to be encouraged or allowed to gain foot
hold in other countries. The authorities
are now, thanks to the attainments of the
foreign civilization they have affected to
despise in the past, aware that this scourge
IL due to the filthy conditions in which the
average Chinese population seems forced
to live. They are making some effort
to introduce sanitary methods into
the. kingdom. Filth diseases are like
ly to be contagious against which royal
purple isn't proof. Sanitary regulations
and cleanliness even when enforced by
absolute authority are civilizing agents.
The plague in Chioa aside from removing
= part Of the surplus population Of that
country may introduce reforms into the
"Fiovery kingdom" that shall help render
ne Chinese laborer less Objectionable

There il little hope that the free wool
progFsmme will miscarry in the Senate. It
will not pass, however, because the argu-
ment il in ito favor. On the contrary the
threat Of Is has wrought the mischief in ad-
vance Of the measure itself. 1t il not nee
cessaIy in order to condemn the measure
from fact - well - from theory to wait
until it may go into effect. The Democrats
have declared for free wool from the first.
They have not hesitated to 60 out Of their
way to kick sheep and 20 indirectly but
none the less forcibly the sheep raiser.
The latter has believed the threat
would be carried into effect, has
noted the hostility 20 plainly shown.
He was not alone in apprehension. The
wool manufacturer has naturally expected
the same treatment and has governed his
business ventures accordingly. Already the
wool growers stock on hand is being sacri-
feed in free trade markets. Sheep husban-
dry has already received the blow and the
paralysis following it. 1t is interesting in
this connection to recall few facts show
ing the results of the Republican attitude
towarl the wool growing industry. The
wool clip of this country during 1882 and
'83 when the law Of 1867 imposing duty of
IL IL per cent. per pound was in force, in
creased 10 l-2 per cent. During the seven
years when the lower tariff of 10 cents
per pound was in operation, the wool
clips decreased six per cent. During the
three years the Mckinley law was in force
and had not been nulifled by the belief
that it would certainly be repealed the wool
clip increased Is IL per cent. If the wool
growers forget these facts they certainly
have short memories and lack of spirit.

County Conventions.

On Monday, the Third party in this coun-
ty met in Augusta and performed oblations
to its desire for existence regardless of the
select smallness of its numbers, its lack of
influence and absence of achievement.
Perhaps, however, the notoriety of having
party organization, which may serve a. .
personal advertising medium, helping or
hindering, as the case may be, the cause of
temperance is achievement enough. Republi-
cans have no desire to make personal attacks
upon members of the Third party. 1t doubt
less includes those who believe they are per-
forming the highest act of citizenship in be-
ing active members of the Third party and
who are willing to make sacrifices for it.
Such do exist,intelligent. high-minded men.
All party organic atoms would speedily dis
integrate did they not have such leaven.
The Democratic party whose principles are
working 50 inimically to the best interests
of this country contains such good men
In the case of the Prohibition, or m ore prop
erly the Third party if the leaven should sue
coed in lesvenin9 the whole lump we believe
it would be leavened with impracticality.
As a matter of fact its purpose seems to be
to antagonize the Republican party which
has done far more in this State for the
principles which the Third party assumes to
espouse than it can reasonably expect to do
itself. And yet it desires to continue its
guerrilla warfare upon the party of honor
able achievement.
Today as for years past the Republican
party in Kennebec county represents the
majority, not only Of the voters but of the
intelligent, law abiding citizens. We be-
lieve that no political party has pow
ers or purpose for wise legislation and the
enforcement of it equal to those of the Re-
publican party. A possibility of defeating
this party and the advancement to power of
the Democratic patty would have been
cheering prospect for the Third party
in its convention Monday to contemplate
but it was not so ordained. The influence
of such political convention must at best
be ephemeral and that of Monday we be-
lieve will be practically nil at the next
election. The work of the convention of
Kennebec Republicans today will mean
much, in that the choice Of candidates there
made will doubtless be ratified by
the people at the polls. Certainly
of the candidates thus far mentioned,
whatever selection be made, such should re-
ceive endorsement. After the choice is
made no personal disappointment will re-
tard the work of electing the ticket. 1t will
be elected by q grand majority and continue
to do, as the Republican party has done in
the past, the peoples will in enforcing the
laws and maintaining them.
