Hon. Seth L. MiIliken.
(Biddeford Times. }


The Portland Argus says that Hon. S.
L. Milliken has been engaged by W. 5.
Hearth, G. A. R, of Waterville, to deliver
the Memorial day address In 1896.
This simple announcement is certainly
a very high eulogy upon MI Milliken; 1t
shows that his services are in great de-
mand. Mr.. Milliken recently scored
big success In the recent address deliv-
cred by him before the graduating class
at West Point.
A speaker had been secured for this &C.
casion but at q somewhat late day he an
nounced that it was impossible for him to
perform the duty and Mr.. Milliken reluc-
family consented to take his place.
From the very complimentary things
said about this address in the press
throughout the country, we are led to the
conclusion that the failure of the regular
speaker for the occasion was a fortunate
incident, for it gave Mr.. Milliken an op-
portunity to give some good practical
truths, which the graduating class needed,
instead of tlowery sentiment or lofty wind.
We have know Seth Milliken, as he is
commonly called. for many years and the
Republicans of the third district made no
mistake in sending him to Congress, but
will make lamentable one if they fail to
keep him there.
AS chairman of the committee on public
buildings and grounds he did more for
the District of Columbia and the coun-
try generally, than any of his predecessors,
and we might almost say more than all
of them put together.
He saved to that district, and the coun-
@,,,, d., n,,t md III
toric boulevard which extends from the
capitol to the treasury department, from
neglect, and we can almost say, from Sc
rious disaster.
For years this avenue has been sub
merged by periodical freshets, and the en-
terprising business houses on this
thoroughfare were rapidly leaving for
places upon higher grounds.
Mr.. Milliken comprchended the situa-
ton and through his personal efforts sue
ceeded In getting the new city postoflice
at Washington, located on this avenue,
near 18th street
This building is now being erected and
1t will result finally In government appro-
priations to protect this beautiful avenue
from the ravages OF the Potomac river
Mr.. Milliken should be made chairman
of the committee on public buildings and
grounds at the. coming session in order
that he may be enabled to carry out his
design, of making grand mali, south of
the avenue, extending from the executive
house to the capitol, thereby affording as
fine drive way as can be found anywhere
in the world. There is no public man of
the present day who deserves the high es-
TEEN of the public more than the member
from the third district in Maine The
good old Bible adage applies with great
force TO his record. by their fruits shall

Report saith that the natural foe of the
potato beetle has been discovered. Now
there may be those who will grumble be-
cause this discovery comes so late 1t
would have been much more beneficial
had IL been made when the potato grower
had to fight the potato bug single handed,
as it were, than at this late day when
spraying apparatus has been perfected
and fighting the bug is reduced to science.
No one knows exactly where the potato
BEETLE originated but probably in a foreign
land for it Is in Japan that Prof. Koebele
claims no found an insect as destructive
to the potato bug as the lady bird he dis
covered In Australia is to the black scale.
We hope the professor will ascertain
whether or not this insect II imported into
this country may not prove nuisance,
before he endeavors to put his assertions
into practise. We have got the potato bug
where he can be held at least in repres-
sion and we do not want to take chances
with any new pest.
