COL. MORTON REMOVED.
Cleveland Deals Blow to the Maine
Plum Trust.

Interference in Maine Appointments While
Holding Treasury Office and Writ
ing Uncomplimentary Letters Regard
ing the President the Cause,
Washington, June 5.-The President
today removed from office Charles B.
Morton of Maine, auditor for the navy
department in the treasury. His success
sor will be promptly announced.
3 Mr.. Morton's tenure of office has been
very precarious for the past six months.
The causes that led up to the action tax
en- today are connected with the appoint
ment of collector of customs in Maine.
There were two candidates, both ex-
cellent men, and it is said both were
well backed A spirited contest arose
and Mr. Morton sided with the present
collector BY agreement the present col
lector was appointed with the under
standing that his chief opponent should
be named as chief deputy.
Mr.. Morton on behalf of the present
collector agreed to this. The arrangement
was never carried out.
Other causes are assigned as the reason
Of the present action, among these being
Mr. Morton's interference as an officer
of the treasury in Maine appointments
generally, against the well known policy
should not use their official position to
further aspirations of Office seekers.
1t is also alleged that Mr. Morton has
written uncomplimentary letters about
Mr.. Cleveland which have just come to
light.
Mr.. Morton was chief of the bureau of
navigation of the treasury department
during Cleveland S first administration.
When seen this morning he professed
to know nothing about his removal
But he was engaged in removing the pap

SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.
Harrie B. Coe Wants Deed to Land He
Claims to Have Purchased.

Yesterday morning Harrie B. Coe
brought suit against the city to compel
the city treasurer to give him deed of
the lot of land No. 1872 Pine street, which
he claims was sold to him by the COM
mittee on unimproved real estate. At
the May meeting of the city government
an order was passed instructing the COM
mittee on unimproved real estate to sell
the land on Pine street for what it would
bring and they agreed to sell it for go
cents foot to Harrie B.Coe. Mr.. Coe
claims that this bargain was concluded
at a meeting of the committee and that
the contract was signed by the members
of the committee present and also by him.
At the last meeting of the city govern
ment, Alderman Smith introduced an
order to sell this lot at 1872 Pine street
to Mr. Coe, and in the discussion which
followed it was claimed by Alderman
Thompson that there was somebody else
who wanted the land and was willing
to pay more for it. He thought the land
should be put in the market and sold for
as much as it would bring. Alderman
Peters moved to lay the matter on the
table, and the motion was seconded by
Alderman Little and carried
This suit which is brought by Mr.. Coe

Morton's Removal
Especial to the PRESS.)
Augusta, June 5-"The mills of the
goods grind slowly, but they grind ex-
ceeding small, said prominent Demo-
crat of Augusta today, when he was
shown the following telegram from
Washington;
"Colonel Charles B. Morton was re-
moved from office by the President to-
day"
Charles B. Morton was the instrument
through which the Plum Trust was
sufficiently potent through his skillful
manipulation to carry all their
schemes Through TO completion. All the
other members of the Trust, who were
candidates for office with q few excep-
tions, are enjoying the femoluments of
impulsive Morton is obliged to step
down and out now that President Cleve-
land is onto him.
Morton's downfall it is alleged
has been brought about by
man named Reardon, who
halls from Bangor. 1t seems that when
Morton went to Washington in 93 to as
treasury he found that Reardon was
occupying laborer's position in one of
the departments. By charging that
Reardon was a Republican, Col. Nor
ton succeeded in having him removed.
The latter again secured position in the
pension department at $3.50 year. Nor
ton continued to follow him and finally
accomplished his down fall once more.
The man from Bangor went home, se-
cured large petition endorsing his DEM
ocracy and standing in the party and
brought it to Washington te assist him
in being reinstated. But Morton's in
f1uence was to much for him and he was
permitted to withdraw from his contest.
Then the man from Bangor got his
back up and swore vengeance on tho
presiding schemer of tie Plum Trust, and
he began to get in his work.
Again he went to Maine and the evil
dence and proofs he found duplicating
Morton in various matters NOT consis-
tent with the honorable and responsible
position to which he was appointed have
brought about his removal.
Few eyes are wet in the city tonight
over the colonel's removal but there is
great sympathy manifested for his wife
and children.

One would think that silk, no matter
what the quality might be, that came
into the world under such name
had about all it could contend against
to gain recognition without being re-
quired to furnish a certificate of re-
spectability and tone. Some dealers
have taken it upon themselves to de-
ride these goods, because they bought
something else. The Dry Goods
Economists says these silks are in
greater dema and for waists and sum
mer wear than any other fabric That
fact should establish their reputation.
They are cheap enough at regular
prices, but see how we have marked
them down for today. They'll not last
llong at these prices.

brighter day for all concerned.
More failures have been caused by
chad debts" than for anything else,
and more ''dead BEATS and dis
honest men have been evolved by the
credit system than in any other way.
The most distressing feature of the
whole matter is that the honest,
upright citizen has to pay for the
dishonesty and bad debts of his
unscrupulous neighbors. The mer-
chant who loses 5000 or $500 year
by trusting is bound to get part of
it back in some way, and the poor
fellow who pays cash has to plank
down few cents more on every arti-
Gle he buys to help make up for the
long line of figures charged to profit
and loss on the merchants ledger.
So it is losing game all around,
Ofcourse, there are occasions when
IN business transactions it becomes
necessary to do credit business on
both sides, when both the dealer and
customer are creditor and debtor al.
ternately, but this is the exception.
The average man whom the dealer
never owes will find it much more tc
his advantage never to buy a thing
that is not paid for at the time of its
purchase. He won't buy as much,
and Will have more cash in his jeans
at the end Of the month. The mer.
chant likewise will be benefited by
the cash system, in more ways thar
one. He will have no lawyers to fee
for collecting old debts, no book.
keeper to pay and the cares and per.
plexlties of his business will be re-
duced to minimum.
Speed then the day when every
body will pay cash, and when there
will be plenty of cash to pay with
1t can't come any too soon. Dc
your part to hurry it along.
