Fire at Fairfield.

The buildings of Jacob Weymouth on
the west side of Main street were con
sumed by fire, Monday morning. The
alarm was sounded about = o'clock. In.
sured for $500.
The wind was strong and only by the
hard and h nest work of the fircmen was
the fire prevented from spreading 10 scv-
eral sets of buildings near by. In Mr..
Weymouth'S stable was a horse, sleigh
robes, harnesses and two carriages be-
longing to Silas Small and valued at
about $500, which were all burned not
insured.
rhe manner in which the fire started
is not known, but it appeared to have
first caught in the stable.
Miss Mary Ames, an elderly woman,
living in the Weymouth house, barely
escaped
Fire also broke out Monday morning,
in a house on Osborn street, owned by
Elisha Ward. 1t was eXtinguished
without sounding an alarm.

The Presidents Message.

President Cleveland on Monday sent in
a Message 10 the two houses of Congress.
He refers to his annual Message and
says that whatever the merit of the fl
nancial plan therein outlined he comedies
that different legislation is now neces-
sary in the ''present advanced stage of
financial perpeXity.a
The President truthfully says: u he
real trouble which contronts Us consists
ia lack of confidence widespread and
constantly increasing in the continuing
ability or disposition of the government
to pay its obligations in gold. This back
of confidence grows to some extent out
of the palpable and apparent embarraSs-
ment attending the efforts of the govern
ment under the existing laws to procure
gold, aud 10 IA greater extent out of the
imposshility of either keeping it in
the treasury or canceliing the obligations
by its expenditure after it has been ob-
tanned
To meet the difficulty Mr. Cleveland
says that the Secretary of the l'reas-
ury should be- authorized To issue bonds
of the government for the purpose of
procuring and maintaining Il sufficient
gtsd reserve and the redemption and
cancellation of the United States legal
tender notes and the treasury notes is

/ ne Gil VI i1ttl lux. II MOI III all uHCk-
ward in its demands from the legislature
this year. An insane hospital and "A
soldiers home, comprise the public iusti-
buttons it desires established there by
the States bounty. Bangor people ask
only for IA hospital aud they have never
heretofore been considered over modest.
The strike Of Brooklyn Electric ear
operators is practically over. Some
cases of disturbance have come off this
week but the greater part of the lines
are in operation. 1t has been stubborn
contest but the roads have won and
many of the workmen are out of employ
ment. Strikes generally turn out that
way.
The United States Treasury depart
ment in statement of Condition on the
22nd of January makes the net gold So
Gal ,S93.2S The receipts for the proceed
ing month amounted to $l9,434, 1924,
and the expenditures $50, 1927, 703.20
Excess of expenditures over receipts for
the month 0,292, 75026. Excess of
expenditures for this fiscal year $37 ,S57,
2l5.57. These are not pleasant figures.
A lady writes the REPORTER calling
attention to a stamp gathering scheme
started by one Miss Edna Brown of
Huntsville, H., for the alleged purpose
of getting her husbands crippled sister
into hospital. The plan is to get peo-
pie to collect 100000 Cancelled stamps.
Whatever any hospital would do with
these cast off cancelled stamps does not
appear. 1t is said the pitiful circular
sent out has had the effect to send three
million stamps to this obscure town.
Our informant states that she knows the
circulating letter mentioned is making
the rounds in this town. OF course the
scheme is bald humbug and we are not
wise enough to comprehend why people
will take any notice of such transparent
sells. There are plenty of ways to use
time and money much better than send
ing worthless postage stamps upon
useless trip across the country.
The export of gold from New York
still continues and the gold reserve in
the L. 5. treasury is lower than before
the sale of two lots Of bonds of 500, 000,-
900 each. The administration is in n
quandary. 1t knows not what to do or
which way to turn for relief. The
country's net exports of gold in 1891
amounted to little over ISL 900, 900,
This was the heaviest loss of the metal
ever sustained by the United States in IA
single year Thus far in 1895, however,
the gold exports have been greater than
they were in the same time in 1894. #
is to be hoped the tide will turn soon but
it Is very doubtful whether there will he
improvement until the country's reven-
ues are on a more satisfactory schedule.
The prime trouble is, as Republican con-
gressmen have told the President that
the receipts of the government are not
equal to the expenditures and the pro-
liability of their reaching this desirable
status is far from cheering. The Will
son-Gorman tariff law as Il revenue pro-
ducing measure is, thus far, failure.
