Senator Frye.

The journal is in receipt of neat little
pamphlet entitled Senator Frye OF
Maine, written by Jean Paul, and print
ed by New Hampshire Republicans, in ac-
acknowledgement Of the very valuable assist
ance SO cheerfully given them by the emf
nent subject of this little tribute through
many campaigns of their party in that
State" 1t opens with the statement that
Senator Frye of Maine, is the best po-
litical orator in America"-a statement
that those who have had the pleasure of
listening to him will cheerfully endorse
Then follows just and discriminating
sketch of Mr.. Frye's life and public SER
vices, considerable part of which has al
ready been published in our columns
The pamphlet contains several fine half
tone cuts, including fine portrait of the
senator, and two views of his camp at
Rangeley lakes, one of which shows him
self and Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, upon the veranda. The work is
just and discriminating tribute to man
to whom the people of Maine have de-
lighted to honor and who has never yet
failed to honor them.

The New Year.

Today marks the beginning Of a new
year, and all may well unite in the hope
that it may be brighter and moro pros
porous than the one which has just passed
into history. The year 1894 was one
marked by widespread industrial depres-
sion and business stagnation. More suffer
ing and want was experienced by the
American people than had been known
before for many years. Indeed we ques-
ton if its record in this respect has ever
been equalled in the history of the Re
public. During the closing months of the
year, however, conditions were more hope
full. and the outlook for 1895 is much more
promising.
The grim reaper secured bounti-
full harvest in 1894, as will be seen by the
neurology of the year published elsewhere
in this issue. We present to cur readers
also, at some length, and with consider
able detail, record of the most notable
events of the year which has just drawn
information contained in this annual
summary makes it especially, convenient
and valuable for reference and we would
advise its preservation for this purpose
The year 1894 was not without some
notable changes in the Journal,
changes which a gratifying increase in
x our circulation have given us reason to
believe were not unappreciated by our
patrons. The form of the paper has been
changed from four to eight pages, afford
ing a considerable increase in space and
the volume Of reading matter new
modern perfecting press has been added,
the paper given new dress OF type
throughout, and last, but not least new
Thorne type-setting machine has been
placed in the composing room consider
aIly increasing the amount of composition
We can promise our readers that we
shall spare no effort during 1895 to keep
the journal in the front rank of Maine
newspapers and in close touch with the
progressive spirit of the times. 1t will
be our constant aim and endeavor to en-
large and improve our news service in
every possible way, and give our patrons
many times their moneys worth.
In closing we cordially extend to all our
readers, our best wishes for happy and
prosperous new year.

Gov. CleayeS is now at work upon his
message 1t will contain some important
recommendations for legislation. Gov.
Cleaves during his first term, which is
nearly closed, has shaped legislation in a
remarkable degree, and through his in
strumentality appropriations have been
kept down. Since he has been governor
the State Indebtedness has been reduced
800, 900, temporary loan of 100000,
which was negotiated in 1890, has been
wiped out, and the cash balance that will
be in the treasury, when he enters upon
his second term, will be nearly $500, GOO,
the largest since 1882, when it was S474, =
704. -.
The State finances are in such shape
that the governor will feel warranted in re-
commenting reduction of the State tax.
