Mr.. Fred Paisted and the champions of
the Plum Trust crossed swords at the
Augusta Democratic caucus and the
Trust won. The Plum Trust is synono-
nous with the present Democratic State
committee and it is making a fight to
prevent it's deposal at the coming Demo-
cratic State convention, or if it cannot
do that, to see that its successors are
men whom it can control. The defeat Of
Mr.. Plaisted indicates that the Trust is
likely to retain it's grip.

The coal strike furnishes another i'm
pressive lesson which, however will not
be learned. 1t is estimated that the loss
in wages was. over $40, 600, 600. and the
total loss was twice that sum. 1t is use
less to inquire where the responsibility
lay, whether with the operators or the
miners. Each places the blame upon the
other, and the probability is that some
of it belongs to both. But if the parties
to such contests only counted the cost
before they were begun instead of after
ward, there would be fewer of them.
But passion usually holds sway at the
beginning and makes calm reflection i'm
possible.

in 1892, has suspended payment with view
to closing up its business affairs. The CON-
pany''s liabilities are about $4,000 and it has
assets amounting to about $500. Proceed

at once by Insurance Commissioner Carr

ginning business 2300 policies have been
issued of which 2S2 are still in force. Secre-
tary Reed attributes the eompany's failure
to withdrawal of policy holders.

CORNELL AGAINST PRINCETON.
Fine Showing Made by the New Workers.

NEW YORK, October Z0.-Cornelrs foot
ball team made a splendid show to-day
against Princeton. The Cornell men
showed how skilfully they had been
coached by Marshall Newell. the exHar-
ward player. by putting up snappy
scientific, and brilliant game, and by
scoring touchdown in the first half.
Princetons eleven played slow. un-
even game, and by dint Of the hardest
kind of work were only able to make two
touchdowns. both OF which resulted in a
goal during the seventy minutes OF

were slow In starting, did not get into
the holes quick enough. and were In
clined to tumble the ball. The tackling
was too high. and the ends continually
over-ran the ball.

learned a great deal about football. and
that she IS liable to make IL interesting

that Princeton would roll up at least 30

great enthusiasm prevailed. Judge Waller

the undivided attention Of his hearers.
II Is conceded 10 be one OF the ablest
speeches ever delivered on this hustings.
II was logical, convincing. replete with
thought, and an able declaration Of Demo-
cratic principles. He was particularly So
we're upon sulkiny and sorehead DEM
Gratis, declaring that he was DAVID
Bennett-Iiu Democrat, and that he had
no faith in one who was a Democrat for
office only. He declared that We are
obliged TO maintain cur Democratic rep
resentation in Congress. whatever may
be our views on the tariff or currency, II
we wish or expect 20 retain our political
freedom. II IL an insult said the speaker.
TO ones intelligence TO say the Democrats
are responsible for hard times. Such
croakers ought 10 join the school Of Mum
chausen. The last Congress had decreased
expenses cut down pensions, repealed
Federal election-laws. passed an income
tax and the best tariff bill since lsiG. He
ridiculed the Popullsts, and said they
would ruin this government in twelve
months if they were given power to pass
the measures they advocate. The speaker
was frequently interrupted b. vociferous
applause. His speech did great good. and
our people are thoroughly aroused.

in which the japanese troops, who made

ing this 'Jack-with-lantern' party, and are
deserving IT. They want both gold ana
silver for currency, but they are now real
fling that the free coinage of silver IS not
the king -cure-all as claimed. They have
learned that in 1867. when tobacco was
$50 per hundred and wheat was sl.15 per
bushel. there was coined into silver only
81 72SOC and in 1898. with tobacco worth
only So per hundred and wheat 70 cents
per bushe there was coined s2s. 10000, or
more than ten times as much. IL Is folly
to answer that these last dollars were
not legal-tender dollars, for. whether
legal tender or not, they were accepted
by everybody and passed In bank on
parity with gold.
NO STEP BACKWARDS.

con.pirators. Thomas Reed himself Is re-
ported to have said in recent speech that
he Is opposed TO further agitation OK the

fruits Of all OF our former fights. The
country will promptly regain its prosperi-

LOCAL INTERESTS.
''This aspiring city is no little interested
in the revival OF commerce. i would re-
mind you that In 1851, under just and
equal tariff laws, the American ships car
ried II per cent. of our trade. while under
the high duties OF the Mckinley law We
are carrying but IL per cent. If we are to
regain our prestige in this respect. then
