The military entered the cemetery to the
slow step of the dirge, and proceeded TO the
Grand Army lot. where the line was drawn up
with National Guard on the right. Flowers

large American flag, and in the rear seats were
provided for the President, members OF the

DEAR TRIBUNE: Patriotic demonstrations
were never so numerous On Memorial Day as
on May 80, 1895.
In the procession which followed F. A. Nor
wood Post Rock port, WAS team bearing 10
young girls. At a signal the column halted in
front of the postofice and formed in open
ranks.
The team was driven between the ranks and
halted in front of the color bearer, when the
American Patriotic Salute was given: I'VE give
our heads and our hearts to God and our
country. One country, one language, one fag."

1t is said that most of the brakemen and
switch tenders on Maine railroads wear con-
gress shoes. The fact is brought out in con-
neetion with the death of a brakeman in
North Berwick few days ago whose foot
got caught in frog, and he, being unable to
extricate it, was run down by train and
mortally wounded. 1t was found that he
wore a laced shoe. His fellOw-workmen
testified that had he worn a congress shoe,
according to the usual custom, he would
doubtless have been able to promptly take
his foot out of it when caught in the frog
and might have escaped unhurt

Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller
announces that the income tax returns re-
ceived by his department will not be re-
turned except by order of Congress. If
an act of Congress is needed it ought to
be forthcoming as soon as Congress
meets. The government has come into
possession of great deal of knowledge
of the affairs of its citizens. 1t got it un-
der law which the Supreme Court has
decided to be beyond the power of Con
gress tospass. Its possession of this knowl-
edge is therefore illegal. Really it would
seem that the commissioner was under
obligation to send back the returns
without an order from anybody AS the
penalty for making public the returns
disappeared with the law any officer who
has access to them may use them as he
sees fit, so far as the mourning of any
penalty is concerned.

of as now using the rubber tubes and
inserting them in ones ears, the mimeo-

sends out the sound plainly in a large
room. The invention has created a sensa-
ton in scientific circles in Europe.

FREE COINAGE AND LABOR.

financial school. and this assumption is
made the basis, not only by Coin, but by
all the free coinage advocates as well, of
a charge that the decentralization act of
1878, or as most of them prefer to style it
"the crime of 1873, - in spite of the fact
that Representative. now Senator, Will
liam NJ Stewart voted for it and John
Sherman against it, was sort of con-
spiracy by long headed gold monometalists
against the poor man to deprive him of
his favoIits money. In sense it is doubt
less true that silver is the money of the
poor man, because as fractions of dollar
are expressed in it he sees and handles
more of it than he does of gold In the
same sense nickel and copper are the mon
ey of the poor man. He sees and handles
great deal more of them than he does of
gold. But that is not the sense in which
Coin or the other free coinage advocates
intend to be understood. What they mean
by which they mean the closing of our
mints to its free and unlimited coinage,
has been in some way a discrimination
against the poor man. They do not mean
that the poor man has been deprived of
silver for they know perfectly well that
there is more silver in circulation now
than there was for more than twenty
years before the law of 1873 was passed.
Now let us see how much real truth there
is in this insinuation that the poor man
has been Disseminated against by setting
up the single gold standard. The poor
man is generally a wage Garner. If he is
industrious and steady he generally has
ii small deposit in the savings bank The
value Of his wages depends upon the
number of dollars which he gets and
their purchasing power. When greenbacks
had fallen to half the value of the
gold dollar the wage worker received more
dollars than before, but he was no better
off because the purchasing power of the

The Rockland Opinion wants Congress
to make up the deficiency that will fol-
low the failure of the income tax by i'm
posing a direct tax on land rent and ap-
portioning it among the states, accord
ing to population. But the Springfield
Republican thinks that that method
would invite disorder and internal revo-
luton, and is entirely impractical. The
Republican wants the constitution
amended SO that an income tax like the
one just knocked in the head by the Su-
preme Court can be made to stand. Both
papers are equally anxious to get at the
millionaire, and both papers insinuate
that they escape taxation; whereas both
know that she millionaires are taxed di-
rectly by the states and cities in which
they live, to say nothing of the taxes
they pay indirectly to the general gov
eminent. But going for the millionaires
is popular.

1t will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included 2 new cars,
motors, snow plough, mile new

gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus

1t is conServatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
achole Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stockis $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays 6 per cent dividends. The surplus
is over SIS, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have cost in 1892 is at least $3.50, 900,
due to present low prices of rails, motors

These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $4,000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the

We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.
