capture in Tule canyon lay onl table,
but no questions were asked concerning
them. They will become subjects of
earnest inquiry later. Five witnesses
were examined only about Winchester
rife with which Price and Young had
fought. G. J. Beauvais identified
gun which he had sold to Hamilton,
one OF the defendants, about O'Clock
on Christmas night, three hours after
the escape. Hamilton first told the
witness he was buying it for stranger,
and after having ascertained the price
OF it, $1S, he went away and returned
later, paid for it and took it.
Billy Moore, William kellogg and
Frank Prothero the captors of Price and
Young, all identified the gun as the one
Price and Young had with them in the
canyon. Identification of the gun was
made easy by sight made of bone
which Beuavais had put in place of the
usual steel sight.
Another witness for the prosecution
was Albert Hitler. who was bar
tender at the O. K. saloon on Christ
mas night. That night Burson and
Hamilton were in the saloon when a
stranger came in and calling for a drink
asked the defendants to drink with him.
In the conversation that followed the
stranger asked them if they knew
where he could buy gun. Hamilton
replied that he did.
This was the case of the prosecution
and at its close Mr.. BuIlard moved that
the defendants be dismissed for various
reasons. One was that no showing had
been made that there had been a Jail
break and furthermore Burson and
Hamilton had not been in the remotest
degree connected with it by the evl-
dence.
No objection was made to the motion
by the United States district attorney
and the defendants were discharged. j..
Their freedom was ephemeral; Sheriff
Orme was sitting a few feet away
armed with warrant for their arrest
issued by Justice Johnstone. They
were taken directly to his Office and ar
raigned. The preliminary hearing will
begin at 1 O'Clock today.
A great deal of new and unexpected
evidence will be brought out, relating
not only to the gun, but to the saws
and the horses. The officials have
worked the case very quietly, so
quietly, in fact, that they have permit
ted hardly hint of their case to es-
cape.

Crlsp's resolution were voted down,
one of the adverse votes showing only
thirteen members of the caucus favora-
BILE to an issue of bonds to retire green
backs.
The result of the caucus is accepted
with considerable apprehension by the
friends of the bill. Notwithstanding the
passage OF resolution of endorsement.
The eighty-one votes which the meas
ure comm lded in the caucus is fa1
short of the number necessary to pass
it in the house. 1t is believed, how
ever, that many OF the ffty-nine votes
recorded against the resolution will be
changed now that the Carlisle bill has
the prestige of a caucus endorsement.

THE NEW posrorr1cE SCHEME.

The recent order issued by tho Presi-
post offices is one of far reaching posssi-
bilities. The order itself. to the casual
reader, gives little idea of it's full signiti-
canoe. What it really aims at is
the making of tho small Off
ces branches of the large ones and un-
der the supervision of the former. Per-
haps an illustration will indicate better
what is proposed. The Portland post
office is a free delivery office and the larg-
est in this part of Maine. All through
Cum terland county there are small
offices which have an independent exis-
tence. Each one has it's own postmaster
responsible to the Postmaster General
alone. Under the plan proposed some or
all these offices would cease to be indie
pendent offices and would be branches of
the Portland office. The postmaster at
Portland with his ii 10 changed to super
all these branches and would have the
same direction and control of all of them
that he now has of the Portland office
alone; and the men who are at present in
charge of these offices would become
clerks under the Portland postmaster
rules just as the clerks in the Portland
office now are. If any vacancy occurred
in one of these offices it would be filled
just as vacant clerkship is now in the
Portland Office. Gradually as the con-
solidation went forward the fourth class
post Offices, as independent establishments,
would disappear and when it was COM
plete there would be none of them. And
with them would disappear the general
change of the heads of those offices which
now takes place with every political
change Of administration.
The plan has much to commend it out
side of the fact that it will prevent the
wholesale removals and appointing nts
which occupy SO much of the time OF
every new administration, and give rise
to so much scandal. 1t will doubtless
greatly improve the efficiency of the SER
vice. The small offices of the country
now lack. competent supervision. Their
business is small and the postmasters
have little opportunity to learn the best
methods Of conducting their offices. I'm
der the proposed arrangement they would
always have the benefit of the direction
and advice of the postmaster Of one of
the large offices who would have full
knowledge of the requirements OF tn
service and the best methods OF meeting
them. The new plan is to be tried first
at Boston and if it works we'll it will
gradually be extended throughout the
country.

The sober second thought of the people
will not put into full power the Repub-
lican party, the party that passed the
odious and unjust Mckinley law, whose
financial policy helped bring on the re-
cent business depression, the party I'M
der which great monopolies were born
and fostered, and which has as one Of its
fundamental principles Capitalization,
which is the beginning of the end of a
government for and by the people. Lew
iston SUM-,
You probably mean the sober third
thought. The first thought put the
Republican party in power in the house,
the second thought secured to it the SEN
ate, so the second thought is passed and
it must be on the sober third thought
that you are relying. One reason why
you feel SO much confidence that the
Democrats will win next year is because
the Republicans passed the tedious and
unjust Mckinley BILL But that bill
originated in the House of Representa-
tives and to have prevented the possiibli-
ty of a measure of thai kind in the
future the proper thing for the people to
do. would have been to elect a
Democratic House. Instead of that they
elected house overwhelmingly Republi-
can. Do you know of any great monopo-
lies that have disappeared under Demo-
cratic legislation? Is the Sugar Trust
any less strong than it used to be? What
reason then have you for thinking the
people will continue Democrats in power
to put down trusts? Having fooled them
once with promises of abolishing trusts
do you think the people will court being
fooled again? We do not blame you,
esteemed contemporary, for trying to ex-
tract sunshine from cucunlbers but We
do not think you will succeed in getting
much.

The interesting report of the superin-
tendent of the training school for nurses
at the Maine General Hospital, which
is presented elsewhere, ought to be gen
orally read. The proper training OF per-
sons to take care of the sick, is matter
of great Importance to everyone, and the
school that has been established at the
Maine General Hospital for this work
most deserves, and should receive, encour-
agement and assistance. More room is
needed and it is to be hoped that the
money necessary to increase the accom-
modations will be forthcoming at no dis
tant day. Skilful and intelligent nursing
is as important as skilful and intelligent
surgical and medical treatment, and the
latter depends very largely for its success,

ish empire, though he talked a good deal
about it. He did intimate however that
the powers were in agreement still as to
the policy to be pursued there though he
failed to describe in any definite lam

diences wild, for Maryland is still
bourbon The audiences said they
didn't want any such thing. Their
negative answers could be heard for
blocks.
There have been certain scandals
concerning the registration in Mary
land which may result in complica-
tions when the votes are counted.
Just which party, or whether either
one party alone, is responsible for
these scandals is not to be discussed
here. 1t is stated, though, that over
$4,000 new names have been added
to the registration lists during the
past month or two. This Is not only
remarkable, but suspicious. 1t is al
legged that many of the names so
registered are those taken from tomb
stones.
While it Is not expected that the
graveyards will yawn on election day
or that there will be wholesale res
direction in Maryland on Nov. 5, it
is confidently expected that live men
will be on hand to vote on these
names. This posthumous registra-
ton is said not to be a new thing in
Maryland politics.

forced Republicans against him, but
some Of the Democrats have bolted.
The oratorical missiles that Cor
mans enemies hurl at him from the
stump have burrs all over them. When
they call him "the corrupt boss of a
vote-stealing ring" they consider it
a very mild expression of their views.

record, and his claim to the title of

candidate for lieutenant governor, is

A HOT FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.
Kentucky has not only been enjoying
one of the hottest fights-for the guber-
natorial chair that 1t has seen since the
passing of the Wings, but is is witness
ing a free-for-all race for the senate.
Senator Blackburn's term expires soon,
and he wants to go back. With this in
view he has been rounding up the state
and at last accounts was claiming the
support of sixty men who may be
elected to the next legislature of Ken
lucky. There are other Democrats,
however, who want his seat. They at

The names of the factions, or rath-
er the nicknames which the Gotham
papers have APPLIED to them, are full
of mystery to an outsider.
First and foremost are the so-called
GOO Coos who had things all
their own way last fall, and elected
their candidate for mayor and most
IF the other city officials. The Goo
Coos is the derisive appellation CIV
en- to the Good Government associa-
tions. They are proud of it now.
The sole ambition and the favorlte
occupation of the Goo Coos is to hunt
the Tiger-that is, they are enemies
of Tammany Hall, first, last and
always.
Then there are the Garoos. These
are the members of the German
American Reform union. They were
formerly friends of the Goo Coos,
but the rigid enforcement of the
Sunday excise laws has led to their
estrangement. They want their
beer on Sundays, and the German
language fails them when they try
to express their sentiments concern
ing Police Commissioner Roosevelt.
The Gazoos, otherwise known as
the German-American Citizens
union, want beer on Sunday, too,
but they decline to vote for the Tam
many candidates.
nyf ho1 q
other factions who can agree with
no other faction and have decided
to flock by themselves. Although
they may differ on the Sunday ques-
ton, they are mostly united in their
hatred of Tammany.
SULTRY IN MARYLAND.
In Maryland the result of the bat
tie Of the ballots is awaited with
breathless interest. 1t has been no
ordinary struggle. The Republicans,
reused from their lethargy by an un-
expectedly large vote last fall and
spurred on by the belief that the
house of their opponents is divided
against itself, are hoping to elect a
governor. The men who remember
the time when there was a Repub-
lican governor in Maryland have
gray hair.
The chief feature of the contest
is the fight that Senator Arthur P.
German is making to retain his po-
litical supremacy. He has had trou-
BILE before, but it has been within
the lines of his own party, and he
has fought his battles out in the
conventions. This time it is to be at

! ponents are hopelessly split on the
! issue.
Gen. P. Wat Hardin, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is a successful
lawyer and power in bourbon politics.
He comes from an old Kentucky family
and is called general because he was
once attorney general of the state He
is a rich man, but every one calls
him Wat, and he prides himself on his
democratic manners.
Col. w. o. Bradley, the Republican
candidate. is also a lawyer. and sdc-
cessful one. He has been in the storm
and stress of political life for years
| and has been defeated for many offices.
/ He is counted as one of the best stump
speakers in a state where orators are
; plentiful.
IN THE CRANBERRY STATE.
New Jersey, which last fall left it's
time -honored position in the Democ-
racy and went over to the Republican
side of the column, has been made the
battle-ground of spirited campaign.
The old fight against race tracks has
been waged, as usual. This is an is
sue which always comes up whenever
| there is an election in the Cranberry
state. For years the bookmaker was
undisturbed there, but he has lately
been ousted, and his opponents are
trying to keep him out. There are
half a dozen we'll known race tracks

and Gloucester being the most prom
inent.
