Literary Notes.

With some beautiful reproductions of
paintings by Jean Francois Milet. in
McClure's Magazine for May, Mr. Will
II. Low provides an excellent study Of
that painter, whom he visited several
times in his own studio at BarbizDn.
In the same number, DR.. w. w. Keen
considers the Rontgen discovery in
photography with reference to its use
in medicine aud surgery. DR.. Keen is
one of our highest authorities in surgery {;
he has himself been experimenting
diligently with the Rontgen \ rays,
and his paper Is of especial value. It is
illustrated from photographs taken by
the new process.
The Forum for May has for its lead
ing article IA brilliant analysis of The
Political Situation" by Mr.. +. l.. God
kin, editor of the New York Evening
Post" Mr. Godkiu declares that the
two problems which at present consti-
tute the sum total of our politics. are
the tariff question. Senator Henry

The Situation.

Mckinley victories in Vermont and
Illinois last week have increased the lead

doubtful aud contested. Ore hundred
aud sixty-one more delegates remain to
be chosen. They say the Vermont dele
gates prefer Reed but the Mckinley
preference of the convention that nomi-
mated them, Proctor says, will bind
them.
Gen. Clarkson says 1.-THE field" will stay

The gist of the platform is in the

I'VE contend that the liquor traffic
is SO thoroughly intrenehed in business

/ suppressed by a political union OF its
/ opponents and we urge upon patriotic
citizens the duty of abandoning parties

eessity Of building party that shall

We declare that the State of Maine
| presents condition of lawlessnes that
| diSgraces its civilization: that nallifiea-
ton of the liquor law is widespread and
open. that whole communities are com
! PEELED to consent to Il shameless and
| Illegal traffic; that county officials work
/ the law Tor purposes o1 revenue. and
! that long continued familiarity with
/ Illegal rum selling las begotten in a
considerable number ri citizens Il dis
! respect for the authority of law in
general We hold the Republican and
Democratic parties responsible for this
deplorable condition: the officials Of
these parties nullify the law. aud the
voters Of these parties condone the
notification at the ballot box. We
pledge ourselves when given the power
To faithfully enforce tie laws of the

Sidewalk Riding.

The item in the REPORTER last week
in relation to the intolerabIc nuisance
of bicycle riding on the public streets
and sidewalks was not only timely but
gave untold satisfaction to frightened
pedestrians.
With the large numbers of bicycle
riders in town. aud nobody wants 10
cnrtail their privileges, it must be
obvious To even them, that they trsspass
somewhat upon the rights Of All pede,.
TRANS. Not only thar, but are leopard
ing the lives of children and all others
who make use of the sidewalks. Nj
merouS instances can be given where
children aud other people have escaped
serious injury, and in view of the great
and increasing number of bikes on the
side walks at all times of day and night,
too, it is remarkable that no serious
accident has occurred.
Give the bike riders their rights and
pedestrians theirs, and everybody will
be better satisfied. CITIZEN.

The Actual Effect.

The reform tarifl party at the last
general election used the specious aud
alluring argument that we should by
adopting Il more liberal trade policy
cause the opening of the "markets of the
world" to 'our manufacturers and
farmers. The olman-Wilsoa tariff was.
according to Democratic prophets, ora
tors and newspaper writer's, going to
make up to our people ten times over for
any injury free trade might have upon
the business of our country.
Has this been realized: Not by any
manner of means. The hard, cold fact
is that our foreign trade, which reached
the highest figure in our history uuder
the Republican tariff in l>a2, fell of
from 81 ,S5G000. 600 in that year 10
Sill 000,000 in ls93, To s1.517.000.nja
in l>9, and To Sl,539. 100000 in ls25.
Instead of gaining those "marketS of the
world under "tarifl reform" we have
actually lost markets which we had -
cured and held unde: protection,

The power Of the protective policy is
strongly eXempliied 10y the way Me.
kinley is forging ahead in the race for
the presidential nominations. He is
known as the opposite OF Protection
because he WAS chairman of the House
ways and means committee, and the
tariff bill enacted by the last Republi-
can congress prior to the present one,
bears his name. As il matter of fact he
did no more to bring about its enact
ment than some members of that com
mittee and without the Reed rules it
could not have been passed, but never
theless, he is regarded as the author Of
the bill, and the chief representative Of
the principle of protection and this gives
him a tremendous impetus.

met and swept everything before it.

he calls THE Evolution of the Trottins

1878, when wager was made that
horse could not trot a mile in three
minutes, down to the world record

of notable patrons of the trotting horse,
