A Canard Disposed OF.

There has been q disposition upon the
part of few newspaper correspondents to
endeavor to drag Ex-Governor Burleigh
into the contest for the congressional nomi-
nation now being waged in this district.
1t seems proper therefore, to say, for the
information of the public, that Mr.. Burleigh
has taken absolutely no part in this can
vass. He is not committed either
directly or indirectly to the can
didscy of any one of the three
gentlemen who are in the field for
this honor. All of them can bear testimony
that nowhere have they found any evi lence
that Ex-Governor Burleigh has in anyway
interfered in the contest, or indicated any
preference to his friends. So far as he is
concerned all three of the candidates have
been given full opportunity to develop their
strength. Having retired from the poll
teal field. he has been content to
devote all his energies to his private bus
mess affairs.
Among the newspaper fiction, which have
sought to connect Ex-Governor Burleigh
with the present canvass in the district, is
one to the effect that there is an under
standing between Nj. Mill,ken aud himself,
whereby the former is to retire at the end
of two years and throw his entire strength
for Mr.. Burleigh. In a recent interview
with reporter of the Bangor Commercial,
Congressman Milliken very effectually dis
poses of this silly yarn. He says:
THAT is something like the story where
it was claimed that was to help Herbert
NJ. Heath. You can say this. have
never vet made political deal with any
one and don't propose to-
We trust that during the remainder of
the canvass our newspaper friends will &C.
cept our word for it. that Ex- Governor Bur-
leigh is attending strictly to bis own private
affairs and taking no part whatever in the
congressional fight.
However the contest may end he will
be as ready in the future, as in the past, to
give the nominee of the convention his &C.
tive and cordial support. The coming con-
greesional elections will be fraught with
vast importance to the American people.
The voters will have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves upon the tariff policy
of the Democratic party. The Republicans
have every reason TO believe that, by earn
est and united effort they can regain control
of the National House of Repres entatives.
They should stand firmly together in push
ing forward this grand work. In no other
way can the happy days of Republican
prosperity be brought back again to chase
away the dismal shadows of Democratic
hard times.

The shooting of striker, at Sickle Run
by deputies was but the logical result Of
the mob violence by which the strikers have
sought to dominate the mining region. II
the reports of the shooting are true the
deputies were determined to kill somebody
and shooting the man who fell into the
ditch, in the head, seemed akin to murder.
The harsh measures had the desired effect,
however, and the mob succumbed to organ

There is world Of pith in the following
extract from the platform of the Pennsly-
vania Republicans:
I'VE denounce the selection of South
ern Democrat for the secretaryship of the
interior as deliberate betrayal Of the well
fare of our soldiers and sailors, and deplore
the needless persecution, suspicious and
privation to which they have been subjected
under that hostile administration"
The people of this country have learned
pretty thoroughly by this time that Judge
Lochren, the Union veteran presumably in
charge Of the pension departments a mere
figure head. The real power behind the
throne, who has conducted the merci-
less persecution of Union veterans
is Hoke Smith of Georgia. Who would
have thought at the close of the war that
Southern Bourbon, with old Confederate
sympathies and prejudices, would ever be sit
ting in judgment upon the pension affairs of
the men who fought the battles Of the Union .
But these things come about naturally
under Democratic rule. The hand of the
South is no longer gloved. 1t is seen very
distinctly now in the affairs of the national
government. The scales are falling from
the eyes of thousands of voters in the north
ern states, and the outlook grows brighter
and brighter that the rule of the Southern
brigadiers is destined to be brief one.

MAINE GOSSIP.

The Somerset Reporter has an able argu-
ment for the construction of an electric
railway between Skowhegan and Norridge-
wock. This road would act as a connecting
link between the Maine Central and Som
erset systems, would facilitate communities
ton between the villages of Madison, An
son, North Anson, Scion. Norridgewock,
Bingham and Embden and Skowhegan and
there is little doubt that it would be appre-
ciated by all before it had been in operation
a year.
The town of .Pittsfield as represented by
its committee wants more than the water
company is willing to grant for the stipu-
lated sum. The company in conse quence
declares that it will not put in the water
works this summer The town wants the
water service, badly needs it in fact. How
simple the arrangement would be if the
water works were to be put in by the town,
The town would then be satisfied that it
could have what it wanted by Fay ing the
cost, however much that might be.

THE GROWTH OF POPULDsM.

The election returns show that the
Republican party did not gain on its
1892 vote IN the elections Of 1874,
that the ProhlbltIOnIsts lost $1,000,
that the Democrats a million, and
that the Populists gained near ,OUO,-
900 or an increase Of about 100 per
cent in two years.
The above estimates have been OBJ
tanned from the press of the old par
ties and what they admit in our
favor may be taken as true.
Therefore when they say we gain
ed near 100000 in 1894 over our
vote of 1892, and when you bear i'll
mind that we did precious little of
the counting at either Of the cleo
tions, you can form very good idea
of Populist strength and Populist
growth.
Although the Republicans carried
the country overwhelmingly, they
did not increase the popular vote.
They won because the Democrats
had lost enough votes to fall behind
them, and the Popullsts had not
gained sufficiently to pass them.
The Democrats lost million votes,
but the Republicans did not get
them. The number of votes the
Democrats lost that did not vote tAe
Peoples party ticket stald at home.
With all their exertions and advan-
tages in the recent election the Re
publicans were barely able to hold
their own.
The Peoples party, without ad-
vantages, without money, with few
newspapers and little organization,
was nevertheless the only party that
increased its vote.
This is Il significant fact. The
people have put their fingers on the
old parties and they Will not let them
80 until they have pushed them to
the wall. Within the last two years
our gains upon an average have been
over 1000 per day. With the en-
couragemeHt gained from thefecent
fight and with the work the two old
parties are gong to continue doing

THE SUGAR TRUSTS GAME

On last Friday there was ''break
in sugar" The price of trust secu-
rites fell off SO per cent. i'll quar-
ter Of an hour after the opening of
the Stock Exchange. During the
first hour Of business $4,000 shares
of sugar stock were sold. Fortunes
were made and lost.
The "break" in the stock is part
of the Sugar Trust game to effect
legislation and is like the threat to
turn its Workmen INTO the streets.
Another trick of the game is the
trust to pass the quarterly dividend.
The trust has neglected to declare
its dividend before this for the effect
it would have on Congress. Last
year, it was afraid to declare diyi-
dend least the enormity of its profits
should imperil the disgraceful bust
ness that was then pending in Con-
gress. This year it wants to sup
port Havemeyer's assertion that it
has been losing money which it to
stay any measure before the present
session of Congress that would check
the havoc of its avorace and greed.
The assault on the price of the
stock, the pretence of loss and the
threat to discharge the workmen are
all intended to affect the action of
Congress. The trust is once more
bullying the law-making power of
this country. As to Cleveland it
was in the bargain with the money
power that he would look after them
when the money was put up to elect
him. In this way the plundering
still goes on while the people suffer.
But unless "those who control" want
another verdict like that of Nov. 9th
they will give the money gamblers a
back seat and pay some attention to
the demands of the people.

KOLB'S INTENTION OUTLINED.
The intention of kolb is to per.

that Republicans and Populists in
the House will seat the contestants
and thereby virtually recognize him
as the proper governor.
