The Republican Standard Bearer.

The nomination by reclamation of
bearer of the Republican party of
Maine in the coming campaign, was a
very gratifying convention ratification
OF the popular will. 1t may well be a
matter of congratulation, not only to
Republicans of Maine. but of all the
states in the Union. in a year when
Maine is to sound the first note of a
sweeping Republican triumph, that the
advance guard will have the inspira-
ton Of SO distinguished and able lead

has compelled success, both in bust
ness and political affairs. He has
been, all his life, leader of men, with
well defined convictions upon all the
great questions of the day, and the

times.
Like all aggressive men he has en-
countered opposition; but it has only
served to stimulate him to greater eff

PRESS COMMENTS.
Stop This Practice.
Bangor NeWs.(

Our attention has been called to the
dangerous and foolhardy methods which
certain patent medicine firms employ in
advertising their remedies. An agent
samples of headache pills. powders or
similar medical prepare tons upon the
doorstep of each residence. This is.
very likely. an effective way of adver-
that is claimed for them. but it is. never
theess. a very dangerous practice and
should be stopped by the authorities.
Very often these sample packages, con-
powerful drugs are first discovered and
appropriated by small children who are
too young to understand their nature or
proper use. y sugar coated pill or pink
powder holds out IA temptation which the
ordinary child can scarcely resist and the
consequence of swallowing the contents
of one, two or three of these sample pack
ages, can readily be imagined. The
agent hardly ever leaves less than two
packages at each house. and where there
are several houses near together. a child
can easily obtain enough of these pills or
powders to bring about serious. if not
fatal consequences.
Several cases of this kind have &C.
CURED here in Bangor within year or
two. Children have been made violent

near dying. just from swallowing the
contents of several of these sample pack

authorities should take this matter in
hand at once. And if there is not at the
present time sufficient authority to en-
able the officers TO stop this dangerous
method of advertising. let us have an
ordinance passed by the city council
prohibiting it for all future time. It

thought but it is fraught with possible

The Bicycle Bell.

There are a very few people
who seem to know the use Of a
bicycle bell. Some think it is
to warn them to so to the right
or left, while there are others
who think that pedestrians
should pass to the rear Of a
wheel, There is or should not
be any question as to passing q
wheel either riding or Oh foot
The same rule should obtain as
in the case of other vehicles
When a cycle is in motion and
the rider rings his bell to warn
pedestrians, it is the safest plan
for such persons warned to come
to a standstill. The rider would
then be able to avoid collision.
On the other hand, to make an
effort to dodge the wheel, one is
very apt to become confused and
also to confuse the wheelman
To all pedestrians we would
recommend trial of this plan OF
standing still when warned OF
the approaching wheel. ~

put ]. J. Wyatt under his mystic
r:ous influence and announced
that he would bury his subject
and bring him to after an inter-
ment of three days. Wyatt had
previously consented to the ar
range1nent, and the burial took
place at Fair View PEEK Tues
day night, tube being passed
down to where he lay. He was
buried four feet under ground,
and a guard was placed at the
grave. Shortly before noon
Wednesday Wyatt came out from
under the influence and realiz-
ing his situation began scream
ing like a wild man. He was
hurriedly dug up and it was
some time before he could be
cooled down. He protested
against a second interment, but
Professor Boone soon got him
under control, and Wyatt was
again put down i'll the earth.
The experiment is attracting
much attention.

The Presidential campaign,

The Presidential campaign,
says the Norfolk Ledger, has de-
veloped already more surprises
than any similar contest within
the recollection Of the present
generation of voters, and the
number is being added to daily.
The latest in that direction is the
report telegraphed from Raleigh
that James H. Young, a member
Of the Republican S:otc Cons
mittee, has announced ii his
paper that he will support Bry-
all and Sewall, and calling at the
same time for the withdrawal of
the Mckinley electoral ticket,
coupling the call with the state
ment that forty thousand negroes
i'll North Carolina will vote for
Bryan and Sewall. In no Presl-
Dental election since 1868 have
the negroes in the South, to any
considerable extent, voted any
other than the Republican tick
ct, and if any large number OF
them in North Carolina are 60
ing to pursue a different course
in the coming contest, it is not
| improbable that those Of Other
States will do likewise.
