WANT TO SAVE THE scALLops,
Residents of saugatuek Urge the Shell


 Residents of Saugatuck Urge the She'll fish Commission to Protect the Bi- valves,
 Alter years of scarcity millions of scallops have appeared in the Westport narbor' It is evident that the prized piValves may again become plentiful hereabouts if prompt measures are taken to protect them. Wideawake residents are already moving in the matter and are urging the shelliish commissioners to take steps to prevent the wholesome grabbing of the delica- cy that is going on.
 The idea Is to post notice, if such is legal warning persons to keep hands off say till the 18th of September or the lst of October; post it down among the islands where invaders go to ply their vocation, and employ persons to watch and see that the order is obeyed. The petitioners would like to go and catch mess as it was possible to do years ago, when scallops were plentiful, but know that they cannot have the chance unless restriction of some sort is placed upon the young fry
 They hope the commissioners, the se- lectmen or somebody with power will do something in the premises to accom- plish the object ought.-Norwallk Hour

her. She understands their suffering, and has the power to relieve and cure.
 In nearly all cases the source of women's suffering is in the womb. In many cases the s-lale physician does not understand the case and treats the patient for consumption-indigestion anything but the right thing.
 It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, and opened their heart and lives-woman to woman-and received her help.
 You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot? Because no man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast experience.
 Displacement, inflammation, torpid action, stagnation, sends to all parts of the body the pains that crush you.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the sure cure for this trouble For twenty years it has done it's grand work and cured thousands.

HOW TO DO 1T.

Senator Dubois rests his hopes of
success upon the folly of Populists and
dishonesty of Democrats. He expects
the Populists to engage in a bitter
quarrel over candidates and calculates
that the Democrats will make the Pop.
ulist row pretext for violating the
fusion compact. The result he expects
is that the Populist forces will be di,
Vided among a number of candidates,
the Democrats will have two or three
candidates and he will be able to show
more strength than any other single
candidate in the field. Then by prom.
Uses, cajolery and such other methods
as may be at hand, Mr. Dubois will
proceed to deplete the disorganized and
contentious opposition in detail. He
believes there is a strong desire among
Democrats to break away from their
agreement with the Populists and that
they are anxiously seeking some sort
of an excuse which will afford color of
justification for doing so. If the Popu.
lists will only be foolish enough to do
what Mr., Dubois wants them to do,
that is kick up a row among them
selves, the excuse will easily be found.
From partisan point of view, nothing
could be more satisfactory to Republi,
cans than to have the very thing hap
pen which Mr., Dubois religlously hopes
will happen. The immediate conse
quence would be violeut rupture be-
tween Populists and Democrats. There
would be ordinations and recrimina-
lions without end, and the blessed
union of reform would dissolve in a
regular cat and dog scrap. OF course
the Republicans would hugely enjoy
such a denouement as that, as it would
disclose the real inwardness of the sill.

in THE YEAR 1900.

II William Jennings Bryan is to fig
ure as presidential candidate at the
close of the Nineteenth century, it
will probably be as a middle-of-theroad
Populist, Senator Butler, Populist
National chairman, says that his party
will have nothing more to do with
anything owning the name of Democ-
racy. He says Democracy is a stencil
in the nostrils of decency and that
there is no longer any respectable ex-
cuse for its existence. Tom Watson
endorses all that Butler says and adds
some picturesque anathemas on his
own account. Now comes L. E. Bate
man who was the PopuliSt candidate for
Governor of Maine declaring there will
be no more fusion with the Democracy.
He even goes further and pronounces
dead both Bryan and his issue. He
admits however, that if Bryan had had
the nerve to come out squarely as a
POpulist there would he a future for
him. 1t is not yet too late for Mr.
Bryan to tone up his nerves, and in
view Of the exigencies of the case, he
may be relied on to do it. The line OF
demarcation between Bryan Democ-
racy and true Populism is OILY imagi,
nary anyway and it will require very
little effort to obliterate it altogether
1t may reasonably be predicted that
the contest will be between w. ]. Bryan
and Tom Watson for first place on the
POpulist ticket in the year of Our
Lord 1900

A respected contemporary is annoy
ed because THE TRIBUNE has taken the
liberty to suggest the name of an hon.
Orable citizen of this place for United
States Senator and appears to be labor
ing under the impression that we are
guilty of trespass, and that Populists,
Democrats and Duboisites have by di,
vine right secured monopoly on the
industry of discovering Senatorial pos
sibilities. We are sorry If we have
transgressed and offer in extenuation
the simple prObity of our motive. 1t
occurred to us that our Populist friends
were experiencing considerable difficult

the people if it should urge disregard
of their expressed will, but it should
not be ieered for aiding in the CON
summation of their desires. OF course,
we could wish that the people had
preferred a Republican for the United
States Senate and we think they have
erred in not doing so. But they said
Populist, and Populist it should be.
However, they did not say which Pop
ulist and, therefore, we have a perfect
right to present for consideration our
particular favorite Populist. On the
whole, though, THE TRIBUNE IL not
seriously distressed over this matter,
but as both Populists and Democrats
have solemnly pledged themselves to
elect a Popnlist, we sincerely hope they
will be honorable and manly enough to
stand by their pledge. If they fail, it
will only be another broken promise

A WARNING.

THE closing of a Mountain Home
bank ought to serve as a warning to
county treasurers insthis state. The
treasurer of Elmore county deposited
the county funds with George E. Rice
& Co., bankers. Recently he made a
demand for the funds and the bank was
unable to respond. OF course, the
reason of the banks inability was that
the county's funds had been used by
tie bank in its private business.
Such use of public funds is expressly
prohibited by statute. Treasurers are
especially inhibited from placing
public funds in bank except on special
deposit and heavy penalties are pro-
Vided for violations of the law. We
believe it is customary with county
treasurers to place the funds entrusted
to them on general deposit and in some
instances to their private, individual
accounts. Assessors and collectors are
frequently guilty of this same practice,
ana it is well for them to know that its
indulgence lays them liable to ten years
imprisonment. Besides, in case of &C.
cident to the bank, they would become
liable on their bonds for any loss the
county might sustain. 1t is well
known fact that banks frequently pay
tteasurers a small interest on daily or
monthly balances accruing from de-
posts of public moneys, and, in addi-
tion, officers of the bank keep the treas.
urer's books and do practically all the
work in connection with the treasurer's
Office free of charge. This is done in
order that such banks may receive the
public funds in deposit. These induce
ments would not be offered unless the
banks derived profit from the transac-
ton and the only way in which it is
possible for the banks to profit is by
loaning the public funds placed on de
posit. Officers who have charge of the
peoples money will do well to study
the law en- the subject of their duties
and obligations and strictly comply
with it, Otherwise they may wake up
some morning behind the bars with a
ten years sentence to liquidate.
