The Maine Republican Platform.

The Republican party of Maine invite all tn,
people of the State who are in accord with the
principles of the following platform 10 unite i,
n common course of aciion
= A financial policy not in favor of monomefal,
lism. either of gold or silver, as the basis of :
financial SYSTEM but international bimetallism to
be secured by ssircnuous efforts Of the national
power. Now. and IN the future all dollars shoul
be OF equal value 10 the end that n tuitahle cur
rency, abundant for all wants shall secure TO all
the peop,e the full results I their labor.
The enactment and enforcement of all laws re-
qnired for the proper recognition and protection
OF labor.
The American Union, its citizens and their great
privileges can be protec' ed in no surer way than
By absou e exclusion from our country, of the
pa,pers, criminals, and diseased of Europe. The
party, therefore, fayors the passage of such re
strictive legislation will admit TO our shores
only those Immigrants who have the capacity and
desire Ia become good American ciiizehs.
A firm aud uab ndng foreign policy. " hich will
prevent the interference of European powers in
the domestic government of American states and
countries. The party sustains the course OF
President Harrison and eN-Minister John l.
Stevens toward the people of the Hawaii isl ansis
and wholly disappruves the un American policy
Of the Cleveland administration in relation there

millionaire left besides dollars that he had
been cropping after all his life an eccentric
career which has given rise to many stories.
One of these is to the effect that he
fell in love with a buxom widow but
the woman who was then his housekeeper
wouldn't consent to the marriage so he
broke it off aud had to settle breach of
promise suit, the whole experience being
quite expensive. Another anecdote illus
trates his shrewdness. He never sunk any
of his wealth in wild Western schemes. On
one occasion when an agent was telling him
what healthful climate there was in the
West, "hold on there" interrupted Bidde-
ford's CrGsus, give been out West my
self and l noticed one thing. You go
through the graveyards and you find that
everybody died young. You don't see
stone with an older age than 40 on it. Go
through our graveyards and you'll find that
most everybody here lives till they are 60

There are so many instances of heroism
on the part of the men who earn their daily
bread in the sweat of their brows on rail-
way trains that the grand heroism of the
engineer of the Canadian Pacific train so
horribly wrecked the other day has been
little commented on. He died at his post
| in the fullest sense of the words. He had
reversed the engine and opened the throttle
which is only done in extreme cases, and
| then went down with the wreck to his death.
No greater bravery is recorded in the novel.
New York Sun: The state where the
burden of taxation lies heaviest upon Ameri-
can shipping is Maine. The tax paid in the
single city of Bath is $24 ,09G on an assessed
valuation of 81 ,047 ,G55 and total ton
mage of 1l9, ,999. Commissioner Chamber
lain shows that this tax is greater than is
paid in Germany by the North German
Lloyd Company. Its tax is only $22 2,244
on tonnage of 225, ,097, valued at SIS $685.
SG4 or nearly sixteen times the total valua-
| ton Of Baths shipping.

This world is so large and its Inhabitants
are fast becoming so cosmopolitan, that to
attract wide attention. it is generally be-
lieved some act must be done especially
brilliant, or of such a nature as to set the
public to talking. And in this connection
we believe there is increasing difficulty in
drawing the line between fame and notorie-
ty. One of the speakers at the Christian
Endeavor convention dwelt at length on
the need of more dash and glitter
10 the organization. While all that glitters
is not gold, yet the precious metal will
shine if it be given the opportunity and it
is eminently fitting that it should have the
opportunity. The Salvation Army deems
it best to call the crowd in by denonstra-
ton, that to many quiet, Christian souls
appears like buffoonery if not sacrilege.
Yet the world appreciates that organization

There is patriotic ring in the offers of
various Grand Army Posts to render assis-
tance in putting down lawlessness in con-
nection with the big strike. The brave
boys in blae are as devoted to the interests
of their country today as they were in the
sixties, and will ever be found ready to as
sist in maintaining her laws
Daily Kennebec journal., 1894-07-14

1t is pleasing to know that President
one of those who believe that violence and
disregard of law, are necessary adjuncts to
labor organizations. He is right. Peace
ful agitation, and conservative, law abiding
action, have always been far more potent

If every one who bought lottery ticket
could see himself the "sucker" that others
see him he would keep his money. The
Louisiana Lottery Co., now known as the
Honduras National Lottery Co., in a letter
to an agent in this State says "We stand
in a position to use our judgment as to
where the prizes will do the most good" In
other words whomever they, the company,
wish to draw prize, will do 80. What a
rich harvest the lottery gamblers would af-
ford the fool killer.

Although the strike has put the tariff
question in the shade temporarily, it is
not to be forgotten that the Democrats in
congress are still busy trading away the
material interests of the country. As the
Republican members of the conference
committee are not consulted they and
their party can hardly be held respon-
sible by mugwump sheets for the mon
strosity that will be produced.

1t is worthy of notice that the men who
are gaining undesirable notoriery in the
great strike are not Republicans. Debs
is Democrat, endorsed by VOORHEES,:
Altgeld is a Democrat; Pennoyer is a

Democratic sympathizers. Republicans
have no use for such men.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and an
absence of appetite is an Indication of some
thing wrong. The universal testimony given
by those who have used Hoods Sarsaparills
as to its merits in restoring the appetite.

the strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. -

There are great many people of for
eign parentage in the great West who have
no pride in or sympathy with our institutions.
They cannot assimilate with our American
life. From the ranks Of these people come
the elements that threaten the life of the
Republic. If one lesson of the times has
been made apparent by recent event',
it is the imperative need of more stringent
laws for the regulation of immigration. The
naturalization laws of the country are ais o
in need of revision. Citizenship is altogeth-
er too cheap, when foreigners without the
slightest conception of the duties that per-
tain to the right, ARE permitted to exercise at
the end of few years the rights of suffrage
which it takes the native born American
twenty-one years to acquire. 1t behooves
us to guard well the goodly heritage which
our forefathers left us, that we may be
able to bequeath it to our children.

Within a comparatively few years those
who have written on the history of this
country, have been turning attention more
to what the United States owes Holland
than, as historians had done before, TO what
she owes England. In this connection, a
paper by the president of Trinity College
and which was read before the American
Institute of Instruction at Bethlehem, N. II.
this week, possessed especial interest. The
argument was that in the contest between
England and France for this part of the
new world France was unable to attain her
ends, not because of the valor or concerted
action of the English but because of the
influence which the staid, peaceable and
mercantile Dutch acquired over the Iroquois
the most ferocious of all the Indian
tribes, as we'll as the most enlightened.
They were the foes, hereditary foes, Of the
Hurons and other Indians with whom the
French first came in contact. These latter
tribes got from the French firearms and
were tDTedteDlnS tHe poheE oi tue elA Hd-
tions when the Dutch appeared upon the
scene. Here was the opportunity of the Iro-
quois. They procured firearms from the
Dutch and by this means we're able to hold
their prestige. They always declared of the
Dutch, who were patient and considerate
with them. that they were their brethren
and they seemed to place implicit trust in
them. For these reasons when the French
we're organized and the English colo
nes were not and when the French
won Indians to their support by
their peculiar characteristics and man
ners and the English were unable to do so
it was indirectly through the Dutch that the
English were able to keep the six nations
from joining the French and by adopting
the methods of the Dutch in dealing with
the Indians did secure and hold the friend
ship of the Iroquois or six nations and by
this agency prevented the French from
latinizing North America.

young man in Bowdoinham. He and his
mother live together and on their little
place were some blueberry bushes. Great
ly to their Indignation they got very few of
the berries as some of their neighbors would
almost invariably secure the first picking of
the season. One day the mother anticipated
her neighbors and went out and picked the
berries for the first time in years. The
son, on his wav home that night, and not
knowing what his mother had done, went to
see if the berries were ripe. When he
found that they had been picked, he was SO
mad he pulled the bushes up by the roots.
