DR.. Burrage said he thought than an
instruction of this kind was unnecessary
as the executive committee was always
striving to keep down the expenditures.
But DR.. Burrage did not object to the
resolution. He regarded it as simply
carrying Goals to Newcastle.
DR.. Crane spoke in support of the resG-
luton. saying that he thought it should
be adopted as a means Of bringing the
needs of the convention home to the
people:
Rev. c. A. Towne believed in the
resolution, but thought if it's language
could be construed to reflect upon the
executive committee he would recon-
mend that the wording be changed SO
that the executive committee shall be re-
auested to continue their efforts to keep
the expenses down. Dr. Crane accepted
the suggestion as an amendment to the
resolution.
Rev. Mr.. Kingsley of Bangor, asked il
the situation would not be the same next
year and the convention again be con-
fronted with deficit
DIR. Burrage said that confidence
should be maintained in the executive
committee. If not, other men should be
selected to do the work.
Rev. Mr.. Owen said that as he had
been a member of the executive commit
tse and was not now, he wanted the
right to make kindly criticism. He
thought DR.. Burrage's remarks dis
couraged such criticism unless he had
misunderstood them.
DIR. Burrage-You certa inly have.
Mr.. Bioknel1 of Rockland thought that
If the trustees knew Of any expenditure
by the executive committee which in
their opinion should be reduced, they
should come forward and say SO and not
throw dust in tine eyes Of the people.
DR.. Crane said the gentleman lnisun-
derrtood the matter. DR.. Crane had en-
tire confidence In the executive commit
tee and the resolution was presented only
as q suggestion to them.
Rev. DR.. Spencer of Waterville. said II
the resolution was harmless ana formal
matter he had no objection to it. Other
wise he had. work of the executive
committee WAS better performed now
than before tie existence OF the commit
tea. DR.. Spencer did not favor a reduction
of expenses, he did not see how the ex-
psnses could be reduced. "Go on, gentle
men, in your work." he exclaimed.
DE-. Crane was Immediately on his feet
and exclaimed with considerable vigor
that he Would not insult the convention
by offering any resolution as a matter OF
form. It was offered as means of tell
ing the Baptisss Of Maine that the con-
vention proposed to raise the necessary
$4,000, and that they would In the future
as in the past exercise wise economy in
the administration of affairs. 1t was not
intended as a reflection upon anybody.
DIR. Cranes vigorous little speech
ended the discussion. The vote was
unanimous in favor of the adoption OF
the report.
THE STATE OF RELIGION. -
Another important report presented
this morning was that from the commit
tee on state of religion. This report is in
effect statement Of the doings of the

From 20 union societies, 1913 members
were reported. No reports were received
from 40 societies. In these Prof. john
son estimated that there were 700 active

and they have given for church work
during the year in various ways, over
$4,000.
DR.. W. E. Witter of Boston wns intro
duced and made stirring missionary
address. DR.. Wittsr Is a speaker OF great
force and, having seen active mission
service in Assam, he knows whereof he
speaks. He was greeted with the waving
of handkerchiefs, the Chautauqua saluts
DR.. Witter spoke. especially of giving
oneself to God for missionary service,
and in closing touched the hearts of his
hearers when he told how a missionary
to Burmah, who had returned to this
country to leave his children, was asked
by his little boy: Papa, why don't you
sell the church in Burmah and stay here
with u.s." And when, said DIR. Witter,
the father told his son what that church
had cost in blood and sacrifice, the little
boy replied: mo, papa. you cannot sell
the church; it has cost too much. You
must go back and We will stay here I"
THAT man is In the house, continued
the speaker, "and call upon Missionary

TO FREE SILVER REpupL1cANs.

The republican party has always con-
tended for protection aud has made
one of its main issues reciprocity in it's
platform of 1885, You endorse twenty
four of the twenty-five planks in the
platform adopted at st. Louis and yet
you support party of which you can
endorse but one. You seem to forget
the glorious record of the republican
party and the prosperous condition of
the county when it was in control of
the government. You seem to forget
the promises made by Mr.. Bryan and
his associates four years ago. You
seem to forget that the promises made
then were as glowing for free trade as
they are now for free silver. Mr.. Bryan
then said that tariff reform would re-
duce prices and make the country more
prosperous. You know what ruin was
wrought by his policy. He now claims
free coinage of silver is the remedy to
increase prices and bring his patient
from almost death. Can you rest on
his word now any more than then?
He admits himself free coinage is likely
to produce a panic but the patient is
likely to recover i'll the end. Senator
Teller also stated in Il speech in Michi-
gan that it would probably take twenty
years for business to readjust itself
under free coinage. Can we wait that
long? Major Mckinley we'll said. "What
we want is to put the money we already
have to work. When laboris employed,
money is employed. Both have always
been steadily aud remunerative!y Ell
gagged during all thcyears of protective
tariff iegislation." Think we'll before
You cut yourself aloof from tho only
party in all history that has been the
sure friend of humanity and faithful

republican party has always met every
emergency successfully whether with
disunion. reconstruction. finance or
foreign complications. There are no
classes in republican politics but the
humblest citizen may aspire and reach
the most exalted position. We believe
prosperity will return if the republican
party is successful in the pending elec-
tion and we appeal to you to aid in this
much needed condition.

STATES ATTORNEY.

The Hot Springs Herald in its last
issue has an article eulogizing Mr.. Nc
Conville, it's candidate for states at
torncy, and it has been suggested to us
that certain phases of the article may
be construed Ly those who do not
know the facts, to he insinuative that
Mr.. Anderson has not secured con-
viction before jury during his term
and that the county has employed legal
assistance to the states attorney. We
desire to say that both these insinua-
tions are false. The records of the
county show them to be false. The ed
itor of the Herald could not have be-
lieved in them, for he did not dare to
mako them openly. but only as insin-
uations. The back numbers of the
Herald will show them to be false, il
the Herald editor will take tho trouble
to read them. The fact isthat in a few
OF what might be termed the more i'm
portant criminal cases, verdicts OF ac-
q,iital we're brought in by the .juiies.
But this certainly cannot be held to be
the fault of the prosecution for in
those cases the states attorney was as
sisted by some OF the best criminal law
yers in the Black Hills, such as Chaun-
cey l.. Wood and Charles Brown of
Rapid City. Aud this legal assistance
did not cost Fall River county one
cent. And in this connection Il few
figures may be mentioned. For three
terms OF office prior TO that of fIr. Au-
derson, the salary and expense OF the
states attorney himself. averaged
q. 1866 per annum and in addition TO
that the county has spent an average Of
S6 .2..T6 Il year in fees andexpenses of at
torileys assisting the state's attorney,
making total of s1,ss9.52 per annnm
which the county has paid for its legal
services. But during MIR. Anderson's
term the salary and expense of the
states attorney has averaged
but s1,1G5.0S per annum and the
county has not spent, nor will it ever
spend one cent for additional or extra
legal services during his term. 1t will
be seen that the term of Mr.. Ander-
son has cost the county 81, ,44SSS less
than the average for the three terms
next preceding his. Inaddition to this
Mr.. Anderson has saved the county the
expense of calling and maintaining a
grand jury, being the only states at
torney in the Black Hills who has as
sumed this extra work and RESPONSE
bility, and it is in great part due to his
advice given to the county commits.
sioners that the expense OF the county
has been SO greatly cut down during
the last two years. Mr.. Anderson is a
young man, but he has proven him
self thoroughly competent to take care
of the Office. He has shown himself to
be proof against both bribery and in
timidation. One good term deserves
another. The county now has on hand
about twenty suits, most of them i'm.
portant, being concerning the legality
of the taxes in this county. Mr.. An.
derson has these cases we'll in hand
and should be kept in Office to. attend
to them. No private person would dis
charge an attorney in the middle of 9
suit and employ another. It is an old
adage, ''do not trade horses while cross

Free coinage of silver at l6 to l

one half it's present amount.

Conclusion of address by Albert c.
Hopkins, Sept. 18th, 1896:
That is the bugle call that brings us
into line and in true order, with the
colors to the front supported by the
national honor and the color bearer.
and the long line on either flank, in
steady order and full ranks, and ready
to advance. That is both cheer and
charge, in one full note of onset; and 1
ask the bugler, the chief bugler of this
civilized world, the press, to blow it
now SO full and clear and loud that it
shall reach across the continent, and
across the seas and make assurance to
our comrades of the further east, along
the crags of Switzerland and the wales
of sunny France, and to the civiliza-
ton of the earth, that this, the Greek
republic of the west, the hope fulfilled
of cultured liberty, the radiant prom
ises of an all-world union yet to be, still
keeps her steadf;lst and free forward
course toward the full noon-tide of the
