"At 4.29 o'clock Tuesday mornin g, !"
the Bangor News says, three large nut
brown hogs might have been seen getting
their breakfast from Southworth broth
ers' oats near the Greenpoint road. The
oats were in full milk, and the swine
made very good meal of oatmeal and
milk. After this they partook of raw
grasshoppers and dew gravy. Later they
took a constitutional stroll among Seth
Puer's crops and laid down in thelsun to
mediate upon the ruinous competition
of cottonseed oil, which is now sold in
the market as leaf lard. They were
Irving Deans pigs, and they knew that
Mr.. Dean did not dare to kill them, be-
cause round hog is SO cheap that it will
not pay the butchers fee. Meanwhile
Mr.. Dean has been told that his hogs
million of informants he was fairly civil;
but the worm will turn, and Dean is
not church member. He could hardly
be called a profane man, but once in
a while he uses the name of the Deity
with freedom which tells of long ac-
quaintance. In fact, as the pigs kept get
ting out and the people kept telling him
a very familiar manner, as it he were a
member of the family. To quote his
words here would be simply repeating
what the wet sinners said to Noah at the
time of the food and as no shorthand
man was present his language will never
see print. He simply sent word to the
men who own the ravished gardens and
depleted fields that the pigs and he were
good for their board. He did not want
them to get out, and had told them to
stay in, but they had not obeyed him.
He was and is, trying to keep them
where they belong. As yet he has not
succeeded, but he hopes to get them
safely housed at least two days before
Congress passes the Wilson bill. Tues
day three of the pigs were at large, one
was in Frank Eaton's pen, and the re-
mainder were looking through wire
netting and longing to be Free"
The trial of Helen NJ. Cross of Presque

Cured Monday afternoon at Masonic
Hall, Presque Isle. A large number
were present. Mrs. Cross was arraigned
for shooting MCNEIL with intent to kill.
Judge Smith of Pressure Isle appeared
for the State. in the absence of County
Attorney Daggett; Judges Stearns of
Caribou and Robinson of Pressure Isle

he found sufficient cause to require the
respondent to recognize in the sum of
$1,000 Mrs. Cross's friends became her
bondsmen. McNeill is still alive and
indications are that he will recover.

The New York Suns Washington de-
spatches say that "all indications point
to the defeat of the tariff bill; that the
President favors its defeat, and that
Speaker Crisp will bend his energies to
that end" We think there is no room
for doubt that the President must pre-
fer the defeat of all tariff legislation
rather than the passage of the Senate bill
That bill he has denounced as peridious
and as outrageously violative of Demo
cratic principles. If that bill passes he
will be confronted with the necessity of
choosing between no tariff legislation at
all and the surrender of his opinions
under circumstances that will make it
very embarrassing. The choice will
be difficult one, but judging from his
past record the President will accept no
tariff legislation rather than convict
himself of gross inconsistency.

The Senate and House conferees are
engaged in making tentativen agree
ments. A tentative agreement is one to
be carried round to certain membe of
the House and Senate, especially the
Senate, who are asked if they will vote
for it. Up to the present time these
tentative agreements have not stood
that test, and further tentative agree
ments are in order. The announcements
that have been made every day for sew
eral days past that the conferees
had agreed have meant moth
ing more apparently than that
one of these tentative agreements
had been cooked up only to be smashed
little later by the refusal of some one
of the forty three senators to accept it.
There is really no evidence that the
conferees have taken single real
step in the direction of final agreement.
About all they have done so far is to
demonstrate that certain attempted modi-
fications of the Senate bill will not be
accepted. The only thing that seems to
be at all clear is that the House will be
content with very slight modifca-
ton of the Senate bill. Indeed Chair
man Wilson's refusal to report that bill
unchanged to the House for an expression
of opinion looks as if he were very much
afraid that the House would accept the
Senate's measure without any modifi-
cation whatever.
