Il. -. Barrett Esq, A Candidate.

Representative T. b. Barrett of
Canaan, authorizes the announcement
that he il "A candidate for the nomna-
tion for Governor at the Republican con
vention to be held at Bangor June :,
and issues the following address.
To the Taxpayers Of Maine:
Nearly four years of financial disaster
and industrial prostration, with manifest
tendency toward harder times, and that,
too, in a country of unlimited resources
and riches untold, convinees me that the
fault for such condition is more with the
government than with the people. The
financial question is forced 10 he front
and has come to stay. The issue is upon
us. calling for decisive and immediate
action. Turn on the search lights, the
cathode rays of public opinion, to dis
cover the dangerous tendencies in our
body polite, and make plain 10 our law
makers and the executive of our State
and Nation the path of duty on economic
lines, 50 that they cannot err therein
without mourning public een-ure.
our State expenditure for the year
1895 is Sl.70l ,655, which with all county
taxes aggregating the sum of 1891 40,
amounts to 81, 092 SOL, ard ON the basis
of our State valuation, S276, $50, 42i
would give ratio Of ! $1,000 mills.
This showing, if in good times. would
occasion little anxiety, but in view of
our State debt of S2,000,353, there is in
our presf MT financial strait occasion for
more rigid economy in our State expeu.

Price of Wheat.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The post this
morning says: A conference Of nations
on the subject of the worlds wheat mar
ket is understood to be desired by at least
one Of the great foreign wheat growing
empires 1t is stated in official circles
here that Russia is particularly friendly
to such an idea and 1t is believed she is
making overtures, not only to the United
States but to England, Argentina. and
Australia. which are the principal wheat
growing nations Of the world. 8
The idea suggested is that these ma
tions, should they see fit to unite in an
agreement, could fix price Of wheat, to
be maintained uniformly through various
seasons of overproduction and unsatis-
factory crops caused by drought or CON
tinual rain and thus make the principal
grain staple upon which the millions Of
consumers depend for food almost as un-
changeablc in value as gold itself has be-
come. This would enable the producer
in the event of an unusually large crop,
to store his wheat and obtain thereon a
loan that would tide him over until the
wheat was in demand in the worlds mar
ets, when he would receive a full and
fair price for 1t. ~

Keep the Wheat.

The Cincinnati "Price Current, in reply
to South Dakota correspondent. VINO ad-
vises the farmer to hold his wheat, says:
f"The writer mentioned alludes to the
government estimate of the 1896 wheat
crop as 1914 900, 900 bushels, and at the same
time recognizes 120, 00n, 900 for North and
South Dakota and Minnesota-it being
inconsistent If not preposterous to consid-
er The crop as limited to 394,O ,OOO II the
three states mentioned are to be counted
as having produced 100, 600, 900. In fact. on
this basis. there is no rational ground TOR
a crop estimate OF less than 450, 000, 600
therefore it Is misleading to introduce. the
1874, 900 900 figures. q
when considering the chances for
higher prices from the standpoint OF q
large producer and holder OF Wheat,, suca
as the writer quoted, 1t Is to be expected
that the vision sees more clearly those
characteristics calculated to promote the
desired ends than possibilities which are
liable to arise and lead to serious d1sap-
pointmeuts. Judgment from such stand
point may have all the elements Of honest 1.
intent, while being based on restricted
vision of, conditions and influences.
1.-THE season has been inaugurated with
the universal heralding Of short supplies
OF wheat. and the world has been put on
it's metal to secure convenient adjustment
to such conditions-and it IS not unreas-
enable to bear in mind that nOtwithsta nd
ing all that has been claimed Of compare
tive shortage may be correct, the ad-
vancng OF prices largely may serve to
curtail III an important measure, the re-
auirements, SO that the short supply may
prove an ample one. +
I..TIere III the Ohio Valley It is already
manifest, especially in the trade with
southern markets. that the demand for

of corn meal, which is relatively much
the cheaper Of the two products. This IS

er 81 less degree be developed here and

Cured by Fdthl,

The stories of the altered miraculous
cures wrought by the prayers Of the af-
hicted ones in the small catholic church
at Ferry and MtWhorter streets, known
as Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine, has
attracted widespread interest. Father
d. Aquilla, It's rector, believes ardently in
cures through faith and prayer, says a

There are 5000 Italians In Newark. The
church has been the envy Of struggling
missionaries, tor there Is scarcely head
Of family among the Italians within Its

able faith and as much money as he can
spare to it's upholding.
Father d'Aquil1a breaches the power Of
faith and the necessity for prayer. That
is elemental in his religion and Is not
theory merely. He demands that his flock
shall practice It.
sight Of one eye, which the surgeons said
had been wholly destroyed by sulphuric
acid, said recently that the prayers he had
uttered in the church for the restoration
of his sight had done it all. He went to
mass today to offer up his daily prayer
for the great boon that had been granted
him.
So proud was Georgiodo Of the, restora-
ton Of his sight that after mass he set
out to look for work Of which he now has
great need. His eyesight is perfect, he
says, and he will have his photograph
taken to hang on the church wall as his
testimony to the Virgins power to cure.

Rsz,rd Of Early seskinx.

We hear occasionally Of men like
Gladstone taking up the study Of Greek
when past the prime Of life and yet be-
coming proficient In the language.
Queen Victoria is said TO have studied
and mastered in two years Hindoostanee
after she became empress Of India Such
cases are so rare as to form only exsep-
tions to the general rule that to be pro-
ficient in any line Of effort one needs to
begin in early life and patiently persist
in practice. This rule holds good In re-
ligious life. The greatest gain comes to
those who start in childhood to serve
God faithfully. Specisl promises are
made in the Bible to such, and all ex-
perience confirms the truth that Chris

Tn. Man. m. Cow ana IN. En-.

While a freight train was lying at .
small mountain station in Montana the
engineer borrowed shotgun and started
ont for hunt. He was about starting
TO return TO bis train when . COW made
her appearance. Before he realized that
there was any danger the animal made
a rush at him, and he ran with all his
speed. But the COW was better racer,
and in q few minutes caught him by
the clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar and tossing him into the
air. Getting to his feet as quickly a.
possible, he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent so as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very live
" ones. The COW chased the engineer
round and round the tree, and when he
got a chance to hit her with the gun
barrel it only seemed to enrage her the
more. 1t was only question Of time
when he would succumb to fatigue,
when a diversion occurred which saved
his life. An angry snort was heard, and
o big elk appeared upon the scene, head
down and prepared for fight The COW
was SO mad by this time that she was
ready for anything, and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com.
bat for a few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make q retreat
IN safety. He never knew the outcome
Of the battle, but the presumption is
that the elk was the victor. - Boseman
