mvterious Bundles Left At State house.

Scarcely desk in any department Of the
State House has not during the week re-
ceived as part OF ito burden bulky looking
bundle. Most of the officials eyed them
askance. With so many dynamiters loose
in the country it wasn't strange their sus-
picon was aroused by the mysterious pack
ages. Indeed the bundles from their ap-
pearance gave no indication of their con-
tents, whether sawdust, dynamite or wool
socks and lilly from some forgotten maid
en- aunt. As soon, however, as one unusual
" rash recipient opened his package,
the others quickly followed suit
These bundles confirmed nothing more
dangerous than varied assortments
from the bounties of the Riverside
Grange fair to which the State House Off
Gals being importuned did buy many
tickets. The contents of the respective
bundles cannot be enumerated. but glimpse
at those contained in one paper parcel may
give faint idea of the whole: Mittens, a
little stuffed cloth "bow-w0w," long bar
of washing soap-"must think it's State

just the thing the head clerk of the depart
ment needs while sweeping out the office,
a dozen clothespins, which may be found
very useful to somebody. In the bundle
mentioned was bottle of bluing evidently
intended for some Democratic ticket holder

when his hands fell by his side and he
passed away without a struggle. Mr..
Lothrop was 20 years and 10 months OF
age. His wife died several years ago and
since that time Mr.. Lothrop had not been
in robust health. For quite number OF
years he was carpenter at the State House.

Promises That Cannot be Fulfilled.

Editors Of the Eennebec Journal:
The despicable means now being used in
this city by the Democrats actively engaged
in the spring campaign need at least pass
ing notice. There are many who do not
know that civil service examinations are
required of applicants to positions in the
postoffice. The imposition that is being
practisrd on such who apply for posi-
tons in the postoffice is notorious among
quite q number and should be made known
TO all. As matter of fact, a list is bring
pre- pared which will be used in the future
to show that promises have been made to a
large number of men by somebody whether
authorized or not, and those who made the
promises knew very well at the time they
made them that they could no. by any pos
sible chance fulfill them. A man called
upon the writer Monday and told him that
be had been promised a position in the
postoffice. He was taken into an office on
the street and there informed of the
prize (?) which was to be his-but on Ger
tain conditions. (Will give particulars
later.)
Now this man among many others has no
more chance of securing position i'll the
postoflice, than the man who promised it to
him has of being president of the M. c. r..
r., and the latter knew it at the time. Such
promises are all rot and the worst kind of
rot. The man who is promised a job under
such conditions has just as good chance of
going to work the next day as he has next
April.
You can't fool all the people all the time
and such kind of work will rebound on
those who are engaged in such small BUSH
ness. Few stop to care what effect such
false promises have on the Office seeker bat
sight should not be lost of the mans family
and of the gloom that must, when those
promises are broken, come to the wife or
the mother who has been cherishing the
prospect of home where few more Of
the luxuries of life can be procured. Such
tactics can really work but little mischief
except to those using them. They who
make such promises have reckoned too
much on the supposed ignorance of the men
they have talked TO. They should turn
their attention to fields where there is more
ignorance. ..... VOTER.

THE FIRST RESULT.

1t has already transpired that the Sugar
Trust has filled its warehouses with free
raw sugar, upon which it will take 40 cents
on each dollars worth from the pockets
of the people. 1t is now known that the
bonded warehouses of the importers of tex
tiles and other goods which can be en-
tered for so per cent. less duty under the
bill now in the hands of the President when
it shall become a law are literally filled
with foreign-made goods waiting to be
dumped into the American market. If the
President lets the bill become law with
out his approval ships loaded in England
and France the day the bill passed the
House will be outside the ports of New
York Philadelphia and Boston awaiting the
reduction of duty. but ready to fill mar
kets which. during the past ten years. have
been more and more filled by

der the Mckinley law, assured of his mar

worker would have had employment and
could have purchased the products of the
American farmer. Because of this new
competition the people who work at the
competing industries in this country will
have less work and lower wages. But just
now the importers have the advantage
and the American stores will be filed

The Democratic convention went wild
when a telegram was read from that lili-
putian statesman, George William Cooper,
announcing that President Cleveland had
signed his bill taxing greenbacks as other
money. and that the President had given
him the pen with which he signed it,
Many of the delegates thought he referred
10 the tariff bill. Now that Democratic
Legislatures have survived the hatred for
the national paper legal tender which
would have led them 10 tax it out of ex-
istence during the war, there is no reason
why greenbacks should not be taxed with
other money. Probably there may have
been a million or of such money in
Indiana, and all that is not in the national
banks will escape taxation. as does other
money at the present time. Mr.. Cooper is
making deal of fuss over a really insig-
nificant matter.
