United Effort Needed.

The general Interest amoag the proprie-
tors of stores in this city and Gardiner,
over the case of shopIifting that occurred
ia this city TUESDAY, indicates thst they
mean to unite for the suppression of this
form of crime, which appears 10 be quite
prevalent in this vicinity. II is certainly
to be hored that this will be the result. 1t
may not be, that the case which is now pend
ing is any more sggravaiing than others
have been. Indeed, it is doubtful if il is
There IL need, however, of some change in
the present condition of things If what is
common talk about town be true. This con-
dition appears to be that goods to the value
of hundreds of dollars are annually stolen
from the counters of our stores. If caught
the thieves settle and are permitted to go.
In other words there has been among those
inclined to take What doesn't belong to them
a belief that the proper thing to do Is to steal
all one can and if not caught it's all right. II
caught the matter may be easily settled.
OF course the Influence Of such condition
of affairs is instantly seen to be extreme ly
bad. 1t i, rot strange that one storekeeper
has hesitated to push cases that came to bis
knowledge feeling that il he did so he would
lose in some instances considerable trade.
1t il one of those general duties
to the community vi III too often
are go unpleasant that one hesitates
to undertake them single handed. There
is naturally and properly feeling of COM
passion for the sinner who is generally
penitent on discovery. There is, too. much
misdirected kindness in this world and aside
from other forms of pressure this of itself,
when it iaterposes in behalf of the offender,
is sometimes most Cif4ctusl. Indeed, the
store keepers are not the only ones who feel
this influence. 1t is frequently exerted
with all its powers upon the newspaper.
How often the proprietor of the news
paper is told that to publish this or that will
ruin prospects, will discourage the penitent
and blight character, can only be appre
cisted by those in the business We be-
lieve, however, that a knowledge of results
is a most wholesome restraint. If people
know that they will in all probability re-
ceive just deserts, that th.ir offences will
not be concealed, the community including
themselves will derive benefit. There is
need of united effort along these lines of
common duty.

defiance of the American Constitution and
of the fundamental principles of honor and

Hawaiian government and enthrone the
bloodthirsty Liliuokalsni over the men of

project Mr.. Cleveland withdrew the treaty
of annexation from the hands Of the Senate,
sent personal commissioner to Honolulu to
haul down the American fis0 and dispatched

credentials assuring PIE sident Dole of the

Governor Tillman is reported as having
dismissed with thanks the militia which he
called out. Presumably this didn't apply
to the companies which threw down their
arms when summoned to enforce the gov

These insuborlinate companies came
from the larger cities and represented the

be as high as that of any militia organizations
in the land. Scions of the first familie s.

bership of these "eraek" military organizs-
tons. As social factor of the communi
ties in which they are located these COM
panies are undoubtedly success. Neither
is it fsi, to impugn their courage. But
when their duty to the state Is considered
that is an altogether different matter. 1t is
very evident that these companies aren't
composed of men who appreciate the sol
emnity of their duty. The state doesn't
pay them for their social functions

RErUBLICAS STATE COMMITTEE I
AUGUsrA, MAINE, APRIL 4,lS94. (

The basi, of representation in the call
for the Republican State Convention to be
held at Lewiston, Tuesday, June 3, 1894.
for the purpose of dominating a candidate
for Governor, is as follows: Each city,
town and plantation will be entitled to one
delegate, and for each seventy-fve votes
cast for the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in 1892. an additional delegate, and
for fraction of forty votes in excess of
seventy five votes further additional dele
gate.
That there may be no misunderstanding
the Secretary of the Committee has made a
classification of dele 9 4tes based upon this
repre- sentstion. There may be some errors
aud omissions in it, ssthe vote relied upon
was taken from the Year Book. The town
or plantation which threw seventy four
votes is, under thi, call, only entitled to one
delegate; in order to get second delegate
it must have thrown seventy five votes the
fraction of forty votes to give another dele
gate must be IN excess of seventy-fye votes.
1t is hoped thst, if any errors are discov-
cred in the list, they will be reported to the
Secretary, so that no mistakes msy occur.
