ial interest, this morning:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 7, 1894.
Dear Sir-The coming State election is
not only of great Importance to the party in
the State, but outside as well. The cleo
ii ms thus far held have, as a rule, resulted
tasorably to the Democracy, and the party
in Maine must not be recreant to its duty.
The last Congress, by the repeal of the
iniquitous Sherman law, the repeal of the
Mckinley bill, and the substitution of far
better measure, by the passage of an in
come tax, thereby placing the burden of
taxation upon the rich, and by the repeal
of the Federal election laws, have done
much that will increase the prosperity of
the people. President Cleveland has proved
himself fearless, honest advocate of Dem
ocratic measures, in the interest of the
masses as opposed to the classes. Such
leader as our President, such cause as
Democracy represents, demands from every
Democrat not only his vote, but all the i'm
fluence he may possess. Vote early. Give
some of your time and influence in the
cause Of Democracy, which now stands, as
it ever has, for lower taxes, economy,
equality and justice.

The Lilhgow library building, upon which
Augusta people look with pride. is day

of material and by hands that VIII
insure lie lasting for many years. A
great edifce, located on slightly cor

end we find large room devoted to the re-
pairing OF books. A large room
viii be found under the read
ing room which will be used as a de.
pository for duplicate works, manuscripts,
etc., that cannot be placed on the shelves
In the room above. In the basement will
be the heating apparatus, either hot water
or steam, it has not been decided which.
This portion of the building will be kept
very clean and will be in as fit condition
for visitors as the library or reading
room. Now to visit the library, and
reading rooms.
From the entrance hallway we will pass
to the rotunda, and to the left we will enter
the book room or library, where the alcoves
will be placed and filled with the fine collec-
ton of books the library now has and proba-
bly, many new ones will be purchased to place
upon the shelves. In the rotunda will be
the catalogue of the books for the accom-
mediation of the public. On the right of the
rotunea, to the east, will be the reading
room furnished with tables, easy chairs,
and all the pleasant and convenient furni-
ture necessary for comfort A file of
newspapers will probably be supplied
and the leading magazines placed upon
the tables. This room will be light
and cheerful. As yet it has not been
decided whether or not electric lights or gas
will be put in.
We will now pass up stairs to the lecture
hall, which is large, well lighted, finished
with roomy platform.
This hall will seat from 200 to 300
people. Here will be displayed the sci
entifc and historical collection of the
Kennebec Natural History and Antigua
rian society. The hall will be splendid
place for literary meetings, lectures and
gatherings of educational benefit. The
floors Of all the rooms will be of hard
wood and the inside of natural
wood finish. 1t will be well lighted
throughout and every possible thing done
to beautify it. In the lecture room library,
reading room, librarians office, open fire
places will be afforded, which are so de-
lightful in this climate.
The grounds will be graded and adorned
with flower beds. 1t is hoped that
some generous citizen, interested in
Augusta and its educational advantages,
beauty, etc., will be kind enough to furn-
ish funds to erect handsome fountain on
the grounds.
1t is expected to have the building cover
ed in this month. Work will be continued
in the inside and probably by March
or April it will be completed. When fin
ished it will be one of the finest library
buildings in New England, both in stability
of construction and beauty of design.

LIVINGSTONE MEMORIIL.

An eloquent and most appropriate Ulou'c was
paid the other day by Mr.. Henry NJ Stahiey ~
one OF the greatest men OF the last generations
The occasion was the laying OF the Cornerstone
OF a Livingstone Memorial Hospital at Darttoru'
England Himself easily the foremost or African
advcnturers now living. Mr. Stanley reminded
his hearers, "a perhaps no other man coula nave
done of the surprising grandeur OF Livingstone
character and achievements. That physician
missionary explorer was the first Caucasian
who ever entered toe wonderands OF the Upper
Congo and Zambesi valleys. His was the FIRST
voice TO speak. and the first hand To strike. too.
against the slave trade Of those regions. IL was
ne who opened the doors To Central African ex-
liberation. and summoned thitherward such men
as Iovett Cameron and Mr.. Stanley and so
gave TO the world. In promise and In potency.
the inestimable results Of their after labors.
Uganda the Congo. Ulunda. the Lake country.
and other vast regions now being opened up to
civilization perpetual memorials OF David
Livingstone.
At the same time that he was doing these
great works he living an even greater life
His hands were free from violence and his lips
from guile Profanity he hated. and vice in any
form was an abomination to him. The rising
and setting Of the sun were more regular than
his simple Christian devotions at morning and
evening The hardest trials never found him i'm
patient or respondent: the gloomiest hours never
bccouded the gena, optimism OF his spirit.
Great indeed, as Mr.. Stanley well said. must be
the nation that could produce hero of benevo-
lence so broad and Of charity so wide. And In
spirIng TO all the race must be the memory
and the contemplation OF a life useful.
