4 NEW DECEPTION,

which the people Of the South
are resenting, is the efforts of
some to sell them limitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place Of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator-which is the "King of
Liver Medicines" because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get

Empire Grove Camp Ground.
East Poland, Aug. 9, 1896


To the Editor of the Press:
This old camp ground ranks among the
best in the State. 1t is splendid hard
wood growth and large amount OF
money has been expended in building
walks and avenues and grading and
beautifying the grounds. Water is dis
tributed over the grounds by galvanized
iron pipes from a genuine "Poland
spring. The encampment consists of
between sixty and seventy family cot
tages, many of them fine specimens Of
architectural beauty, large boarding
house, furnished lodgingH house OF
twenty two rooms. There are also some
dozen society tents and twice as many
family tents. The cottages are pretty
we'll occupied, many Of the occupants
spending the vacation season here.

railroads-each have stations within a
half mile of the grounds-and fares on
each of these roads reduced one-half.
TheTmeetings proper for the session
commenced last evening in the Park
Street Chapel, with social exercise, un-
der the lead of Presiding Elder Corey.
The meetings hold over two Sabbaths
and close August 10th. A large-number
of the clergy are expected to be present
during the session, and the pulpit on the
two Sabbaths is to he occupied by distin-
guished preachers in the denomination.
The prospect of large and successful
meeting is very flattering. The people of
the encampment can of themselves make
up a very respectable sized audience at a
public service.

well known fact that the political action
OF Catholics is Influenced by the attitude
OF the priesthood, as is that of no other
religious body by its clergy. Of course
there are great number of Catholics en-
gagged in the saloon business, and it is not
TO be expected that these will surrender
what they naturally will deem their per-
sonai interests to the priests unless some
stronger denunciation of the liquor bust
ness is forthcoming than is contained in

The death of Judge Jackson makes a
vacancy on the Supreme bench which
President Cleveland will be called upon
to fill Mr.. Jackson was Democrat,
though he was appointed by President
Harrison, and his successor, who will un-
doubtedly be Democrat too, will make
no change-in the political complexion of
the court. The probability is that his sue
cessor will be taken from New York
State, unless Senators Hill and Murphy
find the Presidents choice incompatible
with their ideas as they did before, when
they succeeded in defeating the confirma-
tion of Messrs. Peckham and Horn
blower. Justice jackson voted to sus-
tain the oonstitutionality of the income
tax, so that his successor, whatever be his
views,s will not affect this question
There is strong probability that the
President will have another vacancy to
fill before long, as JudgelStrong's condi-
tion is very precarious and there is
scarcely any hope of his recovery.

The notion that the Lane law
passed by the last legislature left
the lower board of the city coun-
Gil to lag superfiuous on the stage is evi-
IDENTIFY erroneous. 1t was deprived, to be
sure. of all executive functions, but it
can still legislate and humbly pray AS
an instance of its valuable work in the
former line may be mentioned the order
to purchase twenty photographs at SIC
apiece to advertise Portland with; as an
instance of the latter may be cited the
order which is published elsewhere and
which was passed without a dissenting
vote, requesting the Portland Horse
Railroad Company to present the
members of the city government with
passes, ssand rendering in- return vote OF
thanks. A board that can conceive
and carry out two such distinguished
projects as these cannot be regarded as
superfuous, and the public will demand
its retention, if for no other reason, to
furnish comedy for it's amusement.

The attempt of a band of foreigners to
drive the colored men out of Spring Val
ley, Ill, is one of the most outrageous
performances that this country has wit
messed for many a day. The right of the
colored man to be and to remain in this
country is far superior to that of the
Italians, or any other foreigners for that
matter, and if the question was one of
comparative right merely the colored man
ought to be given the preference. But
the law undertakes to guarantee to every
person, whether white or black, the right
to pursue whatever lawful vocation he
pleases and wherever he please. Nobody
has superior right to employment in
this country, and if anybody undertakes
to assume it he is guilty of usurpation.
The Italians who are making the distur-
bance at Spring Valley with the avowed
purpose of driving out the colored men
ought to be made to feel the heavy hand
OF the law at once. Tt is quite enough
that they have equal rights in this
country. That they should undertake to
run it or any part of it, is intolerable.

3 Senator Blanchard's attempt to con-
vince Comptroller Bowler that his as
sumption Of power to practically nullify
a law of Congress, as he is doing by refus-
ing to pay the sugar bounty, is illegal,
will probably prove fruitless Bowler is
probably acting in this matter at the
suggestion of people higher in authority
than he is, and until they are convinced
of the ilIegality of his action to the ex-
tent of ordering him to reverse it he will
not be convinced 1t would clearly seem
to be the duty of an executive officer to
proceed upon the assumption that every
law passed by the legislative body is con-
stitutional until pronounced otherwise by
the courts. Certainly that is the usual
procedure of executive officers in such
cases. 1t was the course of the treasury
department. in the case of the income tax.
cutive officers can question the constitu-
tionality of one law they can another,
and the logical result would be that every
law would have to run the gauntlet of
the men charged with it's execution be-
fore the people knew whether it was
law or not. The reason, we presume,
that the treasury department. has in the
case of this sugar bounty reversed the as
sumption of constitutionality which it
maintained in the case of the income tax
case, is probably that the payment of the
sugar bounty will draw lot of money
out of the treasury which it can i'll afford
to spare. But this is not sufficient
reason.

Woe President Stevenson says that Mr..
Cleveland is not only not a candidate for
third term, but will not allow the use
of his name. When Mr.. Stevenson said
this he was at Winnipeg. Observations

highly probable that Mr.. Stevenson never

CHINA AND THE MISSIONARIES

The recent murderOuS attacks upon the
missionaries in China are attributed to a
band known as the Vegetarians, who
themselves claim to be a religious sect,
but whose aims and purposes are gener-
ally believed to be political rather than
religious. Indeed it is alleged that their
attacks upon the missionaries are not in
spired by any hatred of those people, but
are simply means to an end, the end be-
ing the overthrow of the Peking govern
ment. BY attacking the missionaries
they hope to embroil the government in a
troublesome controversy with foreign
powers which will assist in its over
throw.
If this diagnosis of the trouble be cor
rect then the Peking government has the
strongest reason imaginable-the reason
OF self preservation-to see that goodly
number of the Vegetarians are put to
death, and it will not need much urging
on the part of foreign powers to take
active measures against them, provided
it is strong enough to do so. But of that
there is some doubt. The disastrous de-
feat of the Chinese armies in the war
with Japan must have weakened to some
extent the hold of the government on the
people, and made the present an unus-
ualy favorable time for plotting against
it, and it is not improbable that the gov
ernment is reluctant to resort to offensive
measures lest it may excite the rebellious
elements to active operations

The speeches of the members of the
Catholic clergy at the mass meeting in
New York under the auspices of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union make it
pretty clear that Tammany ! will get no
assistance from the Catholic church in
it's effort to break down the enforcement
of the law against open saloons on Sun
day. Without a single exception the
voices OF the priests who spoke were in
favor of the enforcement of the law and
against the open saloon on Sunday. In
deed they went further than that and de-
elared that while.the Catholic church did
not pronouce the sellingof liquor under all
circumstances sinful, it was in favor of
temperance and regarded the keeping of
saloons as unbecoming business for
Catho lies. These deliverances can hard
ly fail to have great effect upon the
Catholic vote of New York, for it is a

he was startled by the roar of a bull. On
looking around he saw the bull coming

be lost so he quickly remoyed his rubber
boots. took them under his arm and
forded the river. On reaching the other
side he encountered a huge bear that had
the bull. After a severe struggle with
the bear, he succeeded in making his
escape minus one boot which he threw
at the bear. The next day the sport with
company of armed men went to hunt
for him and the lost boot. After hunting
a few hours they succeeded in finding
the boot, but bruin was nowhere to be
