FOR BLMET4ZLZ.SM.

a cell for meeting of Demo-
Gratis 1t che courthouse on July 13
10 organize a Parish Bimetallic
League was handed to us yesterday
afternoon for publication. The meet
ing will doubtless be largely at
tended as there is practically no op-
position to the silver movement in
this parish. Nearly all the promi-
nent men of this parish, (among
tn EN- the members Of the bar with
whom we have spoken on the SUBJ
ject) have expressed themselves
strongly in favor of bimetallism.
We were somewhat surprised to hear
of this proposed meeting, as we did
not know that there was such a
move on foot, and we were also sur
Prised in not seeing among the
signatures the names of some of the
leading and pronounced silver men
of this parish. Probably the list
was not presented to them, but,
nevertheless, we are satisfied they
will be present at the meeting on
the 18th of July. All, the towns
in the parish are represented on the
call with the exception of Carencro.
Is is possible that they are all gold
bugs over there or perhaps they
have not been consulted.

TO PAROZE PETTY or
FENDERS.

In an editorial on the 9th of last
!. April, The Gazette said: stF *
Let the Grand Jury consult the Dis
trict Attorney next week, and if le-
gal, call every justice of the peace
In the parish and instruct them that
whenever person accused of
breach of contract, carrying con-
eealed weapons, or any other mino
offense, shall fail to, furnish bond
for appearance before the district
court, it shall be the duty of the
justice to allow the prisoner the
privilege accorded by law of sign
ing his own recognizance."
The above suggestion was made
BY The Gazette in the hope that
something would be done to relieve
the tax payers of the unnecessary
expense of feeding lot of worthless
negroes and tramps who are kept
in Jail for months awaiting the ac-
ton of the Grand Jury. The idea
of keeping man charged with a
minor crime in Jail indefinitely at a
heavy cost to the p 7rish is supreme
Ey absurd. The Gazette thought
that by calling the attention of the
authorities to this senseless practice
would be sufficient and the proper
remedy would be applied, but we
are sorry to say that nothing has
yet been done.
;-
charged with one of the offenses
stated above and is not able to pre-
cure bail he should be released
from custody on his own bond.
Let us suppose that many will run
away and fail to appear before
court for trial. In such cases it
will be a happy riddance for the
whole community, for the man who
would rather fee the country than
face jury on trivial charge is not
desirable citizen and the parish
can we'll afford to pare him.
We are informed that in St. Lam
dry parish persons charged with
offenses Of minor nature are
paroled, and in this way the parish
saves quite a sum of money and at
the same time it gets rid or under
sirable citizens. Can any one show
to US wherein lies the wisdom OF
unnecessarily spending one hum
dred CIR more dollars On some
worthless character, probably some
migratory bum accidentTy caught in
the tolls of the laws?
In all seriousness this thing has
gone on long enough. Ifthe parish
has too much money better use it
70 repair the roads than spend it in
caring for petty criminals who
ask for nothing better than to be
kept in idleness and fed at the ex-
pense of the public.

Dan Mccormick OF the Viotori,. St.
John, is in Calais, under the care of tie
noted horseman James johnson. Rose
has a record of 2.27 and was at one time
owned by Hugh Love
Many were disappointed at the perform
ance OF Early Bird at Rigby park, as com
pared with that at Old Orchard In Civ
ing expression to this feeling we can but
feel that they thoughtlessly do injustice
to the little horse and his driver Frank
Hayden. He trotted seven cracking heats
on the previous Friday and Saturday and
in his first race for the season too and
when we compare the condition of Mer
man and Wistfal, the other heat winners
in that race, and rsmember that Fred
Wilkes and Edith H, were drawn and
saved and the others went out for not
winning a heat in five, we can but regard
him as decidedly the best of the lot. He
did at Old Orchard what no other stallion
has ever done, enter the 2. 10 list in W ill.,
ming race OF seven heats. and only six
stations had made their records in races,
out of fourteen previously in the select 2. L
list Then he came out at Rigby and
req Gated the performance so easily that it
is not saying too much, in our Judgment
to rate his ability in that heat at 2 0S =
or 2. 90. Taking all these circumstances
into consideration we can but feel that the
owner of Early Bird should be more than
pleased with the performance Of both the
horse and driver.-Turf, Farm and Home

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP.

Many people who saw Cebolla's wonder
full performance at Old Orchard this sea-
son prophesied that he could touch the 2. =
10 mark If driven for it. He has been
taken to Rochester n Y, where he will
be started in the Grand circuit races. Jock
Bowen, Cebolla's driver, says that the
horse which takes the race in which his
stallion is entered must go better than
40. He is confident that the Biddoford
horse can make that record, and do ii
easily, too.

worn out; that long tramp to Bolton,

Il most wish her Aunt Comfort
hadn't been SO dreadful careful about
getting her a ring big enough" said
Grandmother Atkins.
Mr.. Pease looked Mt his wife and
cleared his throat. "What do YOU
think of my getting her ring that
would fit her finger, Em'ly9" he asked
timidly.
Now, father, that's all a man knows"
cried Mrs. Pease. "If you went and
bought that child ring now 1t would
look just as if you were paying her for
not minding. You'd spoil all the lesson
she's got, when she worked so dread
fully hard to learn it. You whit
awhile" :
wei, l suppose you know best,
Emily" said Mr.. Pease, but he made a
private resolution. And so 1t happened
that three months later, when it was
examination day ut school, and Com
fort had new blue thibet dress to
wear, and some new blue ribbon to tie
her hair, that her mother handed her q
little box, just before she started.
Here" said she, ''your father has
been over to Gerrish's and here's some
thing he bought You. hope you'll be-
careful, and not lose it."
And Comfort opened the box and
there was beautiful gold ring, which
just fitted her third finger, and she
wore it to school, and the girls all
seemed to see it at once, and exclaimed:
Comfort Pease has got a new gold
ring that fits her finger!"
And that was not all, for Matilda and
Rosy Stebbins also wore gold rings.
Mother said I might as well spend
Uncle Jared's dollar for it, cause your
mother didn't want you to have IT,"
said Matilda, holding her finger up. |
And father bought one for Rosy, too. Vt
Then the two little girls took their
seats, and presently went forward tot
be examined in spelling, before the
committeeman, the doctor, the min
ister, and all the visiting friends.
And Comfort Pease with all the spell |
ing lessons of tho term in her head, !
her gold ring on her finger, and peace
in her heart, went to the head of the !
class, and Miss Tabitha Hanks pre-
sented her with prize. 1t was green
silk pin cushion, with "Good Girl"
worked on it in red silk, and she had itj
among her treasures long after her
finger had grown large enough to wear
her Aunt Comforts ring.
