A MAINE MAN.
Massachusetts Socialists Nominate David
Taylor for Governor.

The socialist labor party of Massachu-
setts, composed of twenty-five sections,
has nominated David Taylor for gov
ernor. Mr.. Taylor may be considered a
Maine man, for while he was born in
England in 1855, he came to this country
at an early age, living first in Bridgton,
in this county. There he worked in the
mills and earned sufficient money to
enable him to attend the district school,
and later the high school in that town.
Still later he studied at the Maine Wes-
leyan seminary at Kent's Hill. Having
somewhat of a leaning toward the min
lstry he subsequently studied two years
at the divinity school of e award univer-
sity. He afterward studied two years at
Antioch college, Yellow Springs, Ohio,
where he did farm work and other work
in order to- pay his way. He then studied
one year at the Meadville, Penn, from
which institution he was graduated
with the class of 1881. Shortly after
graduation, on account of radical chang
es IN his views. he gave up all idea as to
the ministry, and concentrated his atten-
tlon on sociology, and particularly the
labor question, subjects which he felt
had been greatly neglected by our edu-
ca tional Institutions
For many years he has been prominent
disconnected with the socialist and labor
movement in Massachusetts, He has
been member of the Knights of Labor
and was delegate to the Boston Central
Labor Union, for number of years, and
served on ali theimportant committees
of that body. He did work of unusual
value in 1885 and 1886, in connection
with the committee on child labor and
the efght-hour committee, appointed by
the latter organization.
During the series of demonstrations Of
the unemployed in Boston, during the
past winter, he was a prominent figure,
and his efforts were alsosdirected toward
sending the Boston industrial delegation
to Washington

The governments gold reserve, which
should be kept at 800, 200, has
dwindled down to $52, 900, 600, in spite of
the fact that Secretary Carlisle has al
ready made one large issue of bonds to
replace it. The demand for gold for ex-
port shrinks this reserve faster than
Carlisle's power can replenish it. The
truth is, the people abroad have such a
distrust of the present condition of our
affairs, that they are sending home our
securities and taking our gold. There is
one way to restore confidence and that is
by pitching out the whole Democratic
lot in Washington. This cannot be done
thoroughly until 1896, but a beginning
can be made this fall. 1t is only few

The universal popularity of the bicy-
Gle has brought up several interesting
questions, especially in ecclesia stical
circles. In this portion of the country
many clergymen, at least of Protestant
denominations, are bicyclists. A Metho-
dist presiding elder in this county makes
his tours among the churches on his
wheel. But it seems that in some of the
mors conservative portions of Europe
the innovation is not wholly liked. Some
of the Catholic priests in Germany in
troduced the bicycle into their work,
with the result of protest from their
parishioners. which was ultimately car
red to the Pope. But Leo XIII. took
tie Nineteenth century view of the case,
and decided that the bicycle might be
very useful to priests especially in cases
