met. The tightness of the money mar
ket early in the year with the consequent
high rate of interest, and the extraor-
binary expenditures demanded by the
reconstruction of the High School build
ing and the providing of new boilers for
the city building, proved of course a
severe burden, but Notwithstanding the
city debt has been reduced over $40, 900,
and the aggregate debt is now below the
constitutional limit of five per cent. of
the valuation. Mayor Baxter recon-
mends that the stocks in the sinking
fund be sold when times are favorable
and that the proceeds be applied to the
reduction of the city debt.
The cause of education receives liberal
treatment at the Mayors hand, The
manual training experiment he reports
a success, and he hopes in the near flu
ture to see it extended SO as to include
the girls as we'll as the boys He recon-
mends an appropriation for kindergarten
work.
The Mayor treats at some length the
management of the city liquor agency
and the liquor traffic in general, pointing
out the difficulties of the thorough sup
preston of the latter under existing con-
ditions. In the year to come system
OF checks will be introduced into the
agency, which it is believed will conduce
to the more careful management of that
institution.
The Mayor recommends that further
improvement be made of real estate
owned by the city that it may yield an
income; that negotiations be opened
with the Brown heirs to acquire
property on the Western Promenade and
with owners of the property adjacent to
Deering Park for the acquisition of that's
he suggests ssome improvements to the
Market lot that would make it more de-
sirable and enable the city to derive an
income from it; and he favors Il moder-
ate appropriation to build suitable
armories for the militia companies on
South street, thus saving large expen-
diture.on the part of the city for rent
for suitable quarters for these companies.
The Mayor refers to the experiment of
putting the street and sewer department
under the charge of commission and
predicts that it will make the work OF
that department more continuous and
in accordance with general plan, and
thus yield more satisfactory results at
less expense.
We have touched upon some of the
salient points of the message. All its
recommendations are practical and will,
We believe, meet the hearty approval of

OVERTHROW OF THE BIDDEFORD
RING.
The Republicans of Biddeford, the de-
cent Democrats of Biddeford, indeed all
the citizens of that town who want good
government are to be congratulated up
on the overwhelming defeat which the
Democratic ring that for the past II years
has misruled there. experienced yester-
day. The people have been long suffer-
ing and slow to anger. but they rose in
their wrath yesterday and wiped out the
Biddeford ring. Not a single one of
their candidates was spared. = The may
or, every alderman and every council
man is a Republican Undoubtedly the
bad times and reduction of wages conse-
quent upon the threatened tariff changes
had something to do with the Republi-
can victory, but the chief cause of it, we
believe, was the disgust of the people
over the long continued lmismanagement
of their local affairs by the most I'M
sorupuIous gang of politicians that can
be found in any city this side of New
York. 1t was an uprising of the people
in favor of honest government. 1t was
the triumph of the decent people of the
city over the corrupt elements that had
succeeded by force and fraud in getting
control of the city's affairs, and that had
gone from bad to worse until their rule
had become unbearable.
Having thrown off the yoke, we pre-
dict that the people of Biddeford will
never come under it again. They may in
the future elect Democratic mayors, and
Democratic city councils, but they will
not go back to slavery to the Democratic
ring that has misruled them for the last
decade

circulated for purpose, this one IS

occasion, and so did many others. No

as long, or longer, than have, will all,
unquestionably, be returned; and II my

serve them again, and they may all be
assured that I have never given out
even an intimation to embarrass them
or myself in that respect. The story
above referred to is absolutely and I'M

Contemporaneously with Mr.. Mill

in which the latter says he shall not

Another Appeal for Troops.

COLUMBUS, O., June 8.-Governor
Mckinley has received a telegram from
Sheriff Scott, of Belmont county, again,
and more urgently, appealing for troops
at Bridgeport. The sheriff says the
bridge ON the G. L. & W. railway near
there is now being burned by miners
and great loss of life and destruction to
property is threatened unless military
aid is furnished at once. This telegram
was forwarded to General Howe at
Barnesville by the governor.
Governor Mckinley says he will order
the Fifth regiment Of Cleveland under
arms if Adjutant General Howe thinks
the force now in Belmont county is in
adequate.
The governor has issued an order to
the Sixteenth regiment of infantry and
Battery D Of the artillery, all of Toledo,
to report here at once.
Trouble is feared along the Norfolk
and Western railway at any time and
troops are desired to be held in reserve.
