The calendar offers certain curiOsities
which are little known. The following
are few of them: No century can COM
mence on Wednesday, Friday or Satur-
day. The month of October commences
always on the same day of the week as
the month of January. February, March
and November commence on the same
day of the week, whereas, May, June and
August commence on different days
These rules do not apply to leap years

Lewiston Journal: Lewiston she uld take
an interest in that scheme for connecting
Rockland and the kennebec cities by rail.
: Its further extension might b. a short line
between Lewiston and Augusta.
The Rockland people join the represen-
ta,ive men of Augusta in deeming the
proposition to extend the Georges Valley
Railroad through to the State capital prac-
tical. The need of such road is apparent.
Shrewd business men see still further
continuation of the road to Lewiston in the
near future. A fertile country would be
opened up. The facilities Of excellent water
powers would be brought 10 close contract
with the outside world. Comparatively lit
tie money is needed to build the road. Then
why not build it?
Out of the many candidates for Lewiston
and Auburn those cities ought to draw a
prize at the spring election. Lewiston tax
payers, however. hope it won't be white
elephant such as they drew last year.

Wise Young Mn.

The formation of another repub- lican club, composed of young men in Los Angeles, shows that the young voters in this vicinity are thoroughly alive to the importance of the political issues now before the people. Naturally the young and progressive element allies itself with the republican party. In every state aud every community there are two conflicting elements in the population the people who want to go ahead and the people who want to stand still or go back, he liberals and the conservatives. These two classes exist everywhere, even in Russia. In this country, the pro- gressiye element was at one tune the whigs; now it is the republicans. The democracy has no time for pro- gress because all its spare moments are occupied with trying to elucid- ate the writings and sayings of Thomas Jefferson; and as no two democrats agree as to what he said in the first place. or what he meant in the second, the party can give but little time to public matters.
 That is what is the matter with the party now. So long as 1t was out of power every democrat could tell what the party would do when 1t got into power, because nobody knew, aud it was impossible to dis pute any of the various theOr.es When the party got in control Of the government 1t attempted to carry out all the various theories of it's members at once. On the tariff, for instance, it has tried to be pro- tective, tariff reform and free trade. The democracy, from a physical standpoint, is a gaseous body, each nolecule of which repels the other molecules, and the higher 1t rises, the further it's particles separate. No young man can afford to spend his life time running after a politi. cal balloon.
 Theoretically democracy isa won derfully beautiful affair It would give Americans mohey without work; let them buy without cash; secure the tra ie of the world by handing our home market over to the first comer. and force the world to res pect our flag by lowering it wherever it has been raised. But, practically, it is a fraud, as the past eighteen months of its management of the the government haze shown. Young men may be fond of experimenting, but they know when the experiment is failure, and that is why they are affiliating with the republican rather than with the democratic party.--L. A. Express.

Political Pointers.

Mir. Depew declares that the democratic administration is popu- larly responsible for the hard times and the republicans must profit thereby. This isn't much of a req son, and MT. Depew can easily give a better one. Hard times may have had their effect, but the people are angry with the democratic party not for causing hard times-for which it was not responsible-but for listlessness in remedying them. Lack of courage, of consistency aud of integrity has been the vulnerable characteristic of democraey.-kan- sas City Star, Dem.
 The democrats ate their quorum counting crow with wry face yes terday, but now that the matter is settled we may hope to see legisla- tive business properly conducted by Congress.

During that month there were l4,455 arrivals and 1I,637 de- partures, a total movement of 26,- 092; the corresponding figures for 1893 were l5,606; for 1892 they were l5,527; for 1891 they were 13,254. For January and February of this year the movement was respectively, 1l,670 and 12,279 In brief, the low rates brought 5000 people into California on the Southern Pacific alone, doubling ordinary travel.

The Ash Fork Murder.

Deputy Sheriff Con. Cleary yes terday arrested the white man who was camped near where the body of the dead Mexican was found a few days before the latter was dIs- covered, near Ash Fork. Soon after the finding of the remains of the Mexican, this man left Ash Fork. and Cleary found him east of Will iams, where he made the arrest. Since being placed under arrest, he has told several contradictory stories, and seems to be nervous over the position he is placed in. The latter, however, would by no means be an unnatural condition for an innocent man t0 be in. under the circumstances. 1t traaspres that there was a Colored man along with him on the night he camped a shor distance from Ash Fork, and as far as known, the Mexican was alone in his camp. The man under arrest has also told conflicting stories about his coloIed companion, whose whereabouts aie unknown, but for whom a vigorous search is being made. Deputy Cleary is hold- ing his prisoner at Ash Fork in hopes of securing the colored man, or of his discovering some other evidence that will unrayel the mys, tery now surrounding the affair.

little missionary church was being
built in western town, says the Home
Missionary, and Mr.. Plumb, one of the
active workers, or perhaps the mission

blacksmith shop to get some rods. The
blacksmith was n Bohemian who could
not speak word of English, and
another old Bohemian, Pete by name,
was called in as interpreter.
After Mr.. Plumb's business with the
blacksmith had been attended to, Pete
entered into conversation on his own
account.
What you call him, eh-goes boom

hand in the direction of the church
