Think We Should Celebrate the Fourth
GioriousIy Once in Ten Years.

A party of traders stood on Water street,
yesterday. talking about the board of
trade meeting. and the possibility of build.
ing a new railroad into this city. One of
the number said to Journal man after
the conversation:
II hope that this board of trade object
of building railroad may succeed, but
there is a smaller thing that would cost
very much less money that would also be
a great help to this city.
"They are talking in Portland of having
Fourthlof July celebration, while Lewis
ton has already made great arrangements
for grand demonstration this year. A
little while ago few of the members of
the committee who made such a success
of the Fourth of July celebration of 1886
in this city were talking together and all
agreed that they would take hold, and
with the assistance of new and younger
members. make grand celebration in
this city in 1896.
''This will be just 10 years since the
large celebration which l have spoken of
and will be a remarkably good year for
Augusta to celebrate and advertise it.
self in good shape. This is one of the best
and smartest towns in the State. There
almost any two places in the State COM
bined, and we ought to all join together
and give large celebration that will
draw people from all over the State, both
as an advertisement Of the city and to
wake the people here up and let them
show the outside world that they can do
when they try. Such "a celebration helps
city wonderfully and keeps the inhabi
tants from getting sluggish and losing
public spirit.
1.-The celebration ten years ago was begun
in a small way without intending to make
a great time of it, but when the subscrip-
ton paper was passed around and the
city government gave $500, too, it was
an easy matter to raise nearly $4,000 with
out special effort.
"Thc committee gave great cclebra-
ton, having balloon ascension, base
ball games, flrcmcn's muster, racing on
the river, amusemcnts for the little ones.
and fine fantastic and military and civic
professions in the forenoon, and most
elaborate display of fireworks at night; be-
sides giving free refreshments to visiting
companies and providing hogsheads of
lemonade all over the city, and they were
able to turn back a large sum of money,
which, if ! remember rightly, was divided
among the charities of the city.
"Thc people of this city ought to make
up their minds that they will have big
celebration here on that Fourth of July
1896, and that when the money is called
for they will respond, as the returns re-
ceived will more than pay whatever is
contributed. At the proper time respon-
sible committees should DO made up and
the work should be carried forward under
the general idea that it will be the best
celebration ever given in this part of the
country. This city always does every
thing of this kind in liberal way and
would not fail on this occasion. The
first definite arrangements ought to be
made early next winter"

Excellent Appointment.

On Wednesday State Insurance Com
missioner Carr appointed, under the pro
visions of an act of the last Legislature,
Charles W. Fletcher, deputy insurance
commissioner. This is the sixth year that
Mr.. Fletcher has been chief clerk of this
department. and in his appointment Com
missioner Carr has recognized merit. Mr..
Fletcher has teen not only a faithful but
hensive grasp of the affairs of the depart
mcnt. Commissioner Carr says that the
work of the department has more than
doubled in the past two years. 1t has
been found necessary to employ another
clerk and Miss Lord of this city has the
position. 1t has also beon found necessary
to increase the Office capacity and by con-
nection with another room private office
for the commissioner will be provided.
Prof Jordan of the State College has
sent out circulars relative to the farmers
field day meeting to be held at Orono,
June ). This is always most enjoyable
event for those who participate and it is
oped this year to increase the number Of
those who may do so. Efforts are being
made to secure special trains to start from
Brunswick and Auburn and arrive at
Orono at an hour which will permit of
several hours stay upon the college
grounds. To accomplish this purpose it
is necessary to know approximately the
number who will attend the field day
and Prof. Jordan calls upon the secre
tary of each grange to ascertain and re-
port the number from his grange and
ncighborhood, who would like to visit the
college on that occasion.

to glorify the Congress which ex-
pired yesterday. 1t will be some
time before they are in the humor
to press aggressively what is a
truth-that the good accomplished
was Democratic and the evil
chiefly Republican.
In two previous issues The Re-
public reviewed at length the his
tory of the eyentful two years.
Democratic voters will be better
prepared to pass judgment if they
will keep those two reviews at
hand and refer to them frequent
ly. They will see that the three
sessions were not barron.
The obstructive tactics which
brought down public condomna-
ion were Republican. Repubi-

ton to a conservative and prompt

mail the next year. Republicans
assisted in piling up approprla-
tioas, The majority of the
Democrats were in every case
ready to carry out the pledges
made to the people.
Nosafl the Democratic members
were true to party and pledges,
aal the few who, with Republican
assistance, broke through obli-
cations to the public welfare in
troduced a spirit of disorganiza-
ton which subsequently affected
many others
IT may be said that if the
Democrats had decidedly con-
trolled the Senate, results would
have been much more complete.
II the 70 yyis m of two or three
Democratic Senators had not pre-
vented alteration in the vicious
rules, the Democratic voter might
today be proud of the record.
In the time to come one useful
effect of this two years will be
manifested torcibly. Business
and industry will demand an i'm
provement in politicians. Both
Of the great parties will be COM
pelled by the voice of trade and
production to nominate men who
have brains as we'll as lungs
who understand the sensitiveness
of modern commercial ma
chinery; who have learned that
the rough usage Of an ignoramus
is as powerful for harm in deal
ing with modern economic alegis-
lation as in monkeying with the
machinery of a modern battle
ship. 4vw
Another lesson in the most pra- :
tical Democracy these two years
have burned into the conscious
ness of the nation. 1t is that po-
litical government should be kept
away from the operations of pri-
vate business. In manufacture
in currency, in trade and in la
Dor, there is disease where the
politician touches and reasonable
health where he is unknown.
When he starts to remedy little
difficulty he creates a huge loss.
When he tries to subsidize one
business he disarranges dozen.
This Congress did not thorough
ly reform the tariff; but it con-
vinced thousands who had pre-
Viously been in doubt that free
trade is the only healthy system.
1t did not reform the currency:

the condemned man to see Adry once more
before he died He remained obstinate to
their entreaties for long time, but finally
yielded and sent by messenger note
reading:
Dear Adry, want you to come at once to
the jail, as l wish particularly to see you. /
have no other object than the desire to ask
your forgiveness for any wrong, either real or
imaginary, which may have done you. l
want once more to see you on this earth.
This is the wish and dying request of your
brother. HARRY.
When Adry reached the prison DR.. Hay
ward was with the condemned man. The
doctor left, however, and on the way out
stopped for brief interview with his
brother Adry as the latter passed up to
see the condemned brother. They adj
dressed each other in a friendly manner,
and then, at Harry's request, the deputies
withdrew. What passed was not heard by
any person until Harry raised his voice to
say:
''Now, have done my part. have for
given you for all you have done. Now, do
as / ask.
But" returned Adry, appealingly,
Harry, how can II"
The prisoner sprang to his feet and
poured forth TRADE of abuse never before
heard in the Jail. "You low down,
mean, contemplate, miserable, damnable
wretch he said, 'if 1 could only get at
you, would dig out your brains with a
knife. l would tear out your heart with
my hands. l would crush the two to-
gether, cut them into pieces, squeeze out
the juice, make it into pie and thrust it
down your throat"
He clenched his hands in his rage and
stamped his foot fiercely. His face was
ashen and livid by turns
Adry, seeing the uselessness of further
waiting, arose to go, saying as he did So
"God bless you, Harry" Then followed
the prisoners parting words, as his brother
left him forever
1t is stated today that the murderer had
asked his brother to procure him some
poison, that he might cheat the gallows.
On Saturday Governor Clough signed
the death warrant for Hayward's execu-
tion, which is set for Wednesday next.
