The Outlook Favorable for a New England
League Team In This City.

President Murnane and the members
OF the circuit committee of the New Eng
land League devoted most of the day.
yesterday, to scertaining the outlook for
q New England League team in this city
the present season. They visited the
grounds at the trotting park, and were
much pleased with them. With very little
expense they can be put in good condi-
ton. 1t now remains to be seen whether
Augusta citizens would like to see some
first class games the present summer. If
they will give this move hearty co-opera-
ton, it need not be a large expense to
anyone and the dizziness of the long, hot
summer will he largely done away with.
Crowds Of visitors will be attracted to
the games from the surrounding towns,
and our city will be the gamer by it, The
officials of the league were convinced that
all the elements for the support of good
winning team are to be found here, if our
people are willing to accord the game any
reasonable support. A number of citi-
zens have already expressed willingness
to do their share in supporting team,
and we are confident that discussion of
the matter will reveal the fact that the
cities of the Kennebec are by no means
lacking in love for the national game.

A prominent gentleman in talking with
the Journal yesterday, said that he be-
lieves that the State of Maine will in a
few years be wonderfully developed agri-
culturally, that more of the young men
will come to the realization that Maine
possesses farm lands that need develop
ment and hence they will turn their eff
forts in the direction of increasing the
State in this way He said that there is
not any prospect for them in the West,
such as existed n few years ago, and that
Maine is every year growing, so that the
young men will push on the good work
that has been started toward the increas-
ing of farms and development of the agri-
cultural interests.

Give Us the Law.

The leaders of the two old parties
are becoming somewhat alarmed at the
demonstrations being made by the peo-
pie, and the growing popularity of the
principles embodied in the Peoples
party platform. Many of them, espe-
cially in the South and West, are now
protesting great friendship for free sill
yer. We have no confidence in their
sincereity. They pretend to be max
ing fight for plank in the next ma
tional platform declaring in favor of
free silver. Suppose they succeed.
What good will that plank do? What
the people want is a law providing for
the free coinage of silver. The two old
parties are il power. If they are sin
cere they can give US law providing
for free silver at any time they choose
to do so. If they don't do it it is proof
that all this talk about a free silver
plank in the platforms is bosh-a mere
subterfuge and catch-vote trick. 1t has
come to the point now that the way to
catch votes is to do and not promise.
The people have learned that promises
made by the two old parties are not
worth the paper on which they are
written. If the two old parties are sim

for silver, let them show their faith

KEEP YOUR MONEY.
And Let the Bankers Hunt Their Grub
Elsewhere,

Elsewhere.
Few men, though satisfied with the
truth of theory, will act upon its rules
if those rules happen to be against the
customs that surround them. Reformers
in the United States are all opposed to
private banking (National banks are
private banks). They see the dangers
of the system, read in the papers day
after day of the failures of banks and
knowing that hundreds and thousands
OF these banks must fail because the
larger banks are squeezing them, yet
they persist in leaving their money in
these banks and doing business with
them even when it is not necessary
OF course, when they read of these fail
ures, it is something away off that does
not affect them very much, and it is
only when it comes home to them di-
rectly and when it is too late that they
can see the necessity of acting upon
lines of right. Last week one OF the
persons who applied for membership
In our colony gave US a check on a
bank for his memberships and before
the check reached the bank on which
IL was III avn, IL ndQ closed 1tS doors
and the savings of life time were thus
transferred to that great accumulation
of capital that makes money kings in
America. Why Will men patronize
banks except where cenditions force
them to? Banks are conducted by men
just the same as other men, Just as
ignorant of the social system under
which they do business as the average
day laborer. The money left in the
banks would be of no use to them if
they did not speculate upon it. Men
will permit banks to speculate with
their money who will take no such risks
themselves, and if the banks fail they
lose all with no hope of gain. l do
not feel very sorry for reformers when
they keep any more money in banks
than is necessary to do the necessary
checking for their business. If the peo-
pie know what is good for them, they
will adopt the tactics of the banks
put their means in gold and keep it.
All the thefts of money in the United
States in year do not amount to as
much as the loses to the people by
bank failures in week.-Coming Ma
ton.

A FEW QUESTIONS.
Specially Directed to the American
(Slavel Wage-Earner.

Specially Directed to the American
(Slave) Wage-Earner.
So you think politics has nothing to
do with your wages or chance of get
ting employment, or your debts or
poverty, eh? The banker tells you so.
The politician tells you so. The monop-
olist tells you so. The people who live
we'll and do nothing tells you so. Isn't
it funny that all of these people are all
of one mind? All these people live off
of somebody. Do you know who that
somebody is? All these people are very
anxious about the elections. Do you
ever ask yourself why? If politics has
nothing to do with you why are they
so interested? Do you think they are
fools to spend their time and money
on something there is nothing in for
| them? And if there is something in il
for them, who pays that something
Why can't you see little bit under the
| surface? Have they trained you like a
soldier so you can't think but obey
| orders? Why are they so anxious that
you don't vote with the cranks? Why
all this solicitude? Politics has every
| thing to do with your wages and en-
| ployment. 1t can render millions of
you idle, so you will have to work
cheap, or it can have all of you busy
getting big wages. They don't want
you to find this out. They want you
for voting machine to help them live
in luxury and power. And you've been
| doing it. Don't read up on the money
problem-you might learn something
and not be so docile as a slave.
No, don't endeavor to solve the "mon-
ey problem" for if you do you will
get lost in the maze of fog and cannot
extricate yourself. Just keep on think
ing that the problem" Is so difficult of
solution that only profound schoars
can solve it, and leave it to the shy
locks to solve and carry out as they
| have been doing, for they know all
about it, you know, and you are only
a poor fool of voter king anyway
You cannot act only at the dictation
of those who are manipulating the
| party machine in their own interests
and whose actions as we'll as words
| say damn the people. Peoples

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
A Handle Bar from Coal Team Enters a
Honse Unceremoniously.


| very odd accident occurred on Cum
berland street yesterday. The big coal
delivery cart of Randall & McAllister
was delivering coal at the residence of
Rev. DIR. Parsons, and the men were
working the crank to get the cart into a
proper position for the shooting out of
the entire load, when the chain slipped,
and the large iron handle to the big
| crank flew out and despite the best
efforts the men couldn't find it. They ad-
mitted that the handle had right" to
be somewhere about there, but it WASH t,
and the search for the missing iron was
still in progress when Miss Annie
Holden, who lives at 222 Cumberland
street asked them if they had lost any
thing. They admitted that they had, and
Miss Holden told them that the missing
bar would be found in the third story of
that house.
They found the handle, but were simply
astonished at the wild work it had made.
1t went at least thirty five feet into the
air, and rather more than that distance
in a straight line from Dr. Parsons
house to the other building. 1t took
out a window in the third story, tore
down pair Of lace curtains, hit and
dented in q stove, rebounded and
demolished picture, and made bad
hole in the plastering. A lady who was
in the room had narrow escape. The
force with which the big iron bar, for the
handle was simply bar, was hurled
through space was remarkable, and the
men congratulated themselves on their
own narrow escape. Randall & Nc
Allister will pay the bill for the damage
to the building and furniture, and a like
accident will hardly occur again. 1t was
the first time the chain ever gave way.
