Morton's great strength as a candidate
lies in the fact that he will have the united

factional or sectional opposition. . The

not desire arbitration, there being nothing
to arbitrate. The result of the Behring
sea conference by which England was
given everything has disgusted all classes
in the north. ''.... The most damaging
evidence against Lord Salisbury's claim
in regard to the boundary of British
Guiana has been brought to light by
London newspaper, the Chronicle. 1t
shows, to quote the language of that
paper, that ''the Schomburgk line is
proved worthless as a base of any terrific
rial claim whatever The United States
did not expect much assistance in dis
proving the English claim from English
sources, but it now looks as if it had got
nearly enough through the London Chron-
icle alone to invalidate it,. The CORES
pondenee of the London United Press at
Constantinople telegraphs under the date
of Jan. 3, that a terrible massacre has
taken place at Biridiik, near Aintab, in
Asia Minor. The official report of the
occurrence states that 900 persons were
killed. 80. The estate of the late Eugene
Field has been brought into the probate
court in Chicago on a petition of the
widow for letters of administration The
estate is valued at S29, 600, all in personal
property Besides this there is the poets
home, valued at SO, 900, which he had
conveyed to his wife some time before his
death. -. 1t looks as though the Transvaal
affair might strain the relations between
England and Germany. The Emperor
William message to President Kruger of
the Boer republic won't be pleasant read
ing III Downing street.... The London
lachtsmen, commenting upon the inquiry
by the New York Yacht Club into the
charges made by Lord Dunraven against
the Defender syndicate in general and Mr..
c. Oliver Iselin in particular, says that
Lord Dunraven has signally failed to sub
stantiate his charges, and that it becomes
more and more apparent that an egregious
blunder was committed in making the
charges. The paper adds that the com
mittee of inquiry has been actuated
throughout by an impartial spirit :. Eng
land S land grabbing complications are the
opportunity of the unspeakable Turk.
While she is squabbling over territory in
South America and Africa, news comes of
another Armenian massacre, but it at
tracts little notice in comparison with the
justifiable shooting of few British in the
Transvaal. England is making heavy
addition to the responsibility which she
assumed as keeper Of the Turk when in
1878 she turned back the Russian army
from Constantinople and made secret
treaty with the Sultan.

England and Germany Now.
RELATIONS STRAINED OVER THE SOUTH AFR
GAM RAIN

RELATIONS STRAINED OVER THE SOUTH AFRI
CAN RAID.
This is the sensational despatch that EN-
peror William of Germany sent to President
Kruger of the South African Republic and
that has dangerously strained the relations
between England and Germany:
Il express my sincere congratulations
that, supported by your people and without
appealing for help to friendly powers, you
have succeeded by your own energetic ac-
ton against the armed bands which invaded
your country as disturbers cf the peace and
have thus been enabled to restore peace and
safeguard the independence of your country
against attacks from outside
This 1t is that, according to a London
despatch, has "set England at1ame' and
put Armenia and Venezuela in the back
ground for the time. 1t would be a strange
turn OF affairs if the long predicted Eur pc
an War should arise, not out of European or
Asiatic questions, but from a petty raid in
the southern corner of Africa 1t would be
strange sight to see the German Emperor
declaring war against his grandm other He,
however, evidently has public opinion as
sohdly behind him in Germany as the Sal
isbury government can have British public
opinion at its back If England is af1ame
Berlin despatch says the Emperor's mes
sage sis hailed with enthusiasm throughout
Germany" and that it twill add greatly to
his Malesty's popularity as being a true in
depreciation of the intensity of the German
public's hostility toward Great Britain"
Nor is the feeling on both sides likely to be
allaved by President Kruger's response to
the message The London Chronicle ex-
pressed hope and belief that he would take
no notice of the message, but he has done so
promptly, in these terms:
II testify to your Majesty, my very deep
and heartfelt thanks for your Majesty's sin
cere congratulations. With God helping us,
we hope to do everything possible for hold
ing our dearly bought independence and the
stability Of our beloved republic"

The vibration and sway of the bridge was
terrible, and the hundreds of people who
were watching it, exp. cted to see it swept
away. The swash underneath washed
away the earthwork leaving the covering
exposed. Next the cedar covering gave
away, and for more than 200 feet, in the CEN
tire OF the bridge, great holes appeared. just
before high water the wind hauled to the
southwest, which, doubtless, saved the en-
tire structure. The telegraph aud telephone
poles, which went down to the bottom, with
he wires, We're also aids in saving the
bridge. conservative estimate of the
damage to the bridge is $500. Capt. Charles
Baker estimates the damage at 81 900 Bel
fast correspondence of the Bangor CONNER
clal.
This is a fair specimen of the many exag-
gerated and untruthful statements sent from
Belfast to out-of-town papers. The bridge
has been repaired at total cost of $43. So
and had the work been begun as soon as the
storm subsidized good judges say the expense
would have been little more than half that
sum, and travel could have been resumed
within "a hours. One would infer from the
above item that the telegraph and telephone
poles, wires and all, went to the bottom; but
no doubt what the writer intended to say
was that the poles on each side of the bridge
which support the wires extend to the bot
tom-and that is not true. These poles are
fastened to the spiling of the bridge and are
thus h source of weakness instead of strength
the lines aloft causing heavy strain in
high wind. The motive for such misrepre
sentations as quoted above may not be far t,
seek, and it certainly is not creditable one
in whatever light it may be viewed

The County Finances.
EXPENSES GREATLY REDUCED OWING TO I'll
SUPPRESSION OF THE TRAMP BUSINESS

EXPENSES GREATLY REDUCED OWING TO THE
SUPPRESSION OF THE TRAMP BUSINESS.
The reports of the County Commissioners
and County Treasurer for 1895 show great
Improvement in the county finances. At
the settlement for 1894 there was an excess
OF liabilities over resources of 81 ,273 20 and
in 1885, an excess of resources over liabili-
ties OF S3,556.S3, gain of $4,83O12. This is
due to a great extent to the lessened bills at
the Jail and in criminal prosecutions on ac-
count of the tramp business. The total of
bills audited by the County Commissioners
for 1895 is $7,345.O8 against $11 ,71O19 in
lowed this year on criminal bills contracted
in 1894, $96.22 for board of prisoners, $50 90
for physician at Jail, $658 03 for officers serv-
ing mttimuses, and $50 50 for extra expenses
of County Attorney, a total of $S43 60 allow
ed in 1895 on bills contracted in 1894. This
amount taken from the bills of 1895 and add
ed to those OF 1894, where it rightfully be-
longs, leaves S6,501.4S for 1895 against $12-
553.T9 for 1894. Against this may be charged
extra expenses i'll 1885, as follows: Services
of Sheriff as Master of House of Correction,
$4,000; detective services, $4,000; attorney
fees, $500; and superintendents of Jail
workyard which cost $14S.00 more than
balance of more than S5,6000O or over so
per cent in favor of 1895. The different
items of expenditure can be learned from the
following table, which gives the amount of
bills audited for the two years.
