reason as not to realize that had
the present administration receiv-
ed from its predecessor like con-

the present condition of financial
distress and business depression
that has for several months hung
like pail over the country, would
ever have occurred. The Repub-
lican press may go on bowling ca
lamity and endeavor to lay the
blame on the Democratic party but
the sober reflection of the people
will not be slow in placing the re.
sponsibility where it rightfully be-
longs. The recollection of the re-
cent Reed Billion dollar Congress
can not be 80 readily effaced from
the memory of the people as our
Republican friends seem to imag-
Inc and to a certainty so earnestly
desire. The vast resources of the
treasury, the fruits of four years of
Democratic economy were wanton.

a better cause. When Commits

prevalent sentiment, "God help the
surplus" he but echoed the policy
that imbued the mind of the Con
gress that proceeded in institutine
an era of extravaganza and profit
gacy until then undreamed of BY
the people.

this day to S225,OOO,O00. There
would have then been no question
of deficit, no suggestion of an In
come tax, no need to sell bonds to
maintain the gold reserve, and no
monetary crisis.
To all these causes of depression
m ust be added, as of primary i'm
portance, the unwholesome stim-
ulus given to production by exces.
sive protective duties and the con-
sequent overstocking of the mar
kets. When the first tokens of a
financial crisis resulting from a
mischievous policy made their ap-
pearance, the hollowness of tariff
made prosperity was revealed in
factories and warehouses bulging
with goods for the ideal "home
markets" for which there were no
customers.

again IN the management OF DuSl-
ness for the conduct of which it is
in no way responsible. The Col
lector of Customs at the port of San
Francisco recently discharged four
of the clerks employed in his Office,
at the close of the probationary
terms to which they had been ap-
pointed, as incompetent and un-
satisfactory. AS they were all Re-
publicans, Mr.. Roosevelt's commits
sion, which seems to be animated
with the conviction that there can
be no such thing as an incompetent
Republican in Office, began an in
vestigation which resulted in re-
port to the Secretary of the Treas
ury that the civil service law had
been violated and that the San
Francisco Collector should be ord
cred to reinstate the discharged
men.
The Republic is somewhat sur
prised that Secretary Carlisle has
obeyed the ma ndate of the COM
mission and ordered the Collector
at San Francisco to discharge the
new men he had employed and re-
store the ones he had dismissed.
If the civil service law denies the
right of man responsible for the
management and administration
of an Office to employ and discharge
such men as he may see fit it is
such a contradiction of the laws of
good business common sense that
the intelligence of the country is
insulted. We are unable to find
anything in the law, however, und-
er a fair and sensible construction,
setting up the idea that the head of
a department cannot dismiss any
employee working under civil ser.
vice rules, provided the new ap-
pointee assigned to fill the vacancy
has undergone civil service ex'
animation.
In the San Francisco case tine
four men chosen to succeed the
four who had been discharged were
all taken off the eligible list of the
local Examing Board. They were
both legally and mentally qualified
Their only disqualification seems
to be that they are Democrats.
| While that is enough to condemn
them with the Roosevelt commits
sion it should not operate as a bal
with a Secretary of the Treasury
who was put into Office by Demo
cratic votes.

urged upon the Democratic MAORI

Long Farms In Maine.

Maine probably has many oddly shap-
ed farms, but wo doubt if one can be
found more peculiar in form than that
in the east part of Dexter formerly
owned by the pioneer blacksmith Eli
jah W. Sprague. This was eight rods
wide and half mile long, with the
highway cutting it at right angles into
unequal portions. The inconvenience Of
SO narrow a farm, with pasturage and
woodland at ono end, is obvious to any
one, hut in this form it has continued
from the days Of the forefathers to tho
present time, in use as farm all the
time. A farm only 30 rods wide and
about half mile long was in use o
great many years near Pennington Falls
and may be SO used yet for all the writ
er knows, but the Dexter farm beats it
by nearly thirds fer narrowness
and general oddity. Farms of this shape
are numerous in Canada. Lewiston
