Mr.. CleveIand's Latest.

1t remains to be seen whether Mr..
Cleveland's latest call to his party to
support the gold standard will be heed
ed. While the chances are that 1t will
not, the fact should not be forgotten
that the Democracy Is accustomed to
execute. at times, sudden and unex-
pected somersaults. Mr.. Cleveland
forced It to follow his leadership in 1887,
when he declared with dramatic bold
ness for free trade; he again whipped it
into line during his fight for the repeal
Of the Sherman silver purchase clause,
and when we consider the tremendous
wealth which is available for persua-
sive use in COLDS behalf in his present
tussle with it, it would really not be
strange If he were to become the mas
ter third time within the decade.
On the face of it, the Democracy
ought this year to take the field in be-
half of silver The Republicans have
thrown down challenge by declaring
for gold. A large percentage of the
membership of the Democratic party
Enthusiastically believes in free coinage.
The issue has assumed phase which
calls loudly for a popular decision. For
the Democrats to re-echo the st. Louis
platform would be to perform SUPER
fluous labor, for which the present con-
ditions of politics hold out no possible
promise of reward. If there is any pres
tige connected with an unequivocal and
outspoken pronouncement for the gold
standard, the Republicans. by reason
of the priority of their convention, have
already pre-empted that. Unless, there
fore, the Democratic party wishes to
champion the cause Of silver, it might
better make no nomination, but pass
resolutions indorsing the candidates
and the platform chosen at St. Louis.
1t Is to be regretted that Mr.. Cleve-
laid Ga not extend his communication
sufficiently to include suggestions rela-
tNe to other issues which his party
might in his judgment push forward in
order to make promising line Of battle
against the Republicans He says the
free silver cry will not win this year
and we guess that on that point he Is
good prophet. But what cry will en-
able the Democracy to win? Surely,
not free trade. That was tried two
years ago. Surely not the flag-iower-
Ing, tyranny-loving foreign policy pur-
sued by Mr.. Cleveland's secretaries Of
state, nor the scheme of raising public
revenue by selling bonds at large dis
count to favorite syndicate. Neither
OF these ideas would sweep the country
away from Mckinley. If the silver
issue holds out to the Democratic party
no promise of success, what issue does?
Mr. Cleveland owes it to the public
to be more specific.

True Philanthropy.

One Of the criticisms which have been
advanced against the protective theory
is that by placing stress upon industrial
achievements it tends to retard educa-
tion and culture. Americans have been
lampooned by many free traders as
mere money-makers because they have
insisted that the safest foundation for
the superstructural graces Of charac-
ter and manners Is the ability to earn
an independent livelihood and contri-
butte to the common fund Of business
activities.
Governor Lippitt, of Rhode Island, in
recent address upon 1.-THE Influence
of Manufactures on Wealth and Popu-
lar Intelligence" has made an effective
reply to this particular criticism. We
have not seen the complete text of his
address, but according to a synopsis
printed in the Washington Post he ad-
vances in his first sentence the PROPOSE
tion that "every manufacturing estab-
lishment is a college," There is, he as
serts, no way in which a man can ac-
quire the special education fitting him
for certain lines of usefulness, so we'll
as in IL mill or shop. And he submits
that 1t Is through the knowledge and
skill thus acquired, by the minds thus
developed, and the faculties thus drilled
and refined, that have come the great
discoveries and inventions which have
done most for the physical and moral
welfare Of the peoples Of the earth.
In South America, Gov Lippitt points
out, there is not single manufacturing
nation. Africa is similarly situated. In
Asia the same rule obtains, except in
those portions of that vast continent
that have come under control of Eur
opean nations. He mentions Japan as
possible exception, because. side by
side with the victories that she has
gained over her ancient enemy, China,
manufacturing. The manufacturing
continent of the world is, of course,
Europe. Measure the European ma
tions by manufactures and the order is
England. France, Germany, Russia,
Italy, Spain. That the importance Of
nations is indicated by manufactures is
illustrated by comparison Of the
wealth Of these countries. which Cover

Remission.
Canton Lafayette, l. o. 0. F. is making
great preparations for annual field day to be
held in Rockland June 4th and we all know
that the people of the Lime Rock City never
do things by halves. Belfast will no doubt
be largely represented on this occasion, as
the most friendly feeling exists between the
two cities, and it is gratifying to us here to
know that the Belfast Band will furnish
the music. The present arran cement is for
the band to go to Rockiaud on the afternoon
boat June Sd and give concert and play at
banquet that evening. On the 4th they
will play for the parade, give another con-
cert and furnish music for the ball IN the
evening, the latter duty devolving upon
Sanborn's Orchestra, which is composed of
members OF the band under the able leader
ship of P. A. Sanborn The band has played
on several occasions in Rock land, the last
time for Canton Lafayette on April 26, 1895,
and always with much acceptance. We can
assure our Rockand friends that the band
has made great Improvement and can dis
count its efforts of one year ago, and they
will spare no effort to please their Rockland

The Social Season.

The letter carriers ball was postponed to
this evening on account of the storm of
yesterday. The admission to the concert
will be 81 cents; to the dance so cents.
The reception given last Thursday even
ing by Mr.. and Mrs William M Randall at
their home ON Church street was one of the
most delightful social events of the season.
The weather was favorable, and from 8 to 10
the house was thronged with those who call
ed to pay their respects to this popular young
and tastefully decorated for the occasion.
In the reception room the combination OF
bright ribbons, palms, evergreens and roses
produced a beautiful effect The refresh
ment room was festooned with ropes of ev, r
green and the mantel banked with ferns.
Plants, ferns, palms, etc, We're tdStefully
arranged about the room, and large centre
piece of roses graced the table. Ices and
cake were served here, and on each plate
was laid a beautiful pink. At the end of the
hallway adjoining, fruit punch was served
from an arbor of evergreen. The room oppo-
site the reception room was decorated like
the others, with the addition of screen of
evergreen behind which was Sanborn's Or
chestra, which furnished delightful music
throughout the evening. A noticeable feat
ure of the decoration was the delicate
wreaths and festoons of laurel, tastefully and
skillfully arranged where most effective Mrs.
Randall was gowned in black satin skirt,
and pale yellow fancy silk waist, with roses.
She was assisted by Mrs Walden, Mrs.
Rigby, Misses Mcclellan, Thombs, Little
field, Dunton and Barker, all in full evening
dress.

No COnteSt-but "Sentiment,o

"There was some talk of making the
bridge question an issue to GUST Hanson, if
possible, but the plan did not materialize,"
says Belfast special to the Bangor Daily
News. This will be news here. Elsewhere
in the same paper we read:
There is possibility of a municipal con-
test with other than Citizens candidates in
the field relating to Ward officers There is
a feeling that way and the fact of certain
leading politicians having been seen in close
conversation increases the possibilities. 1t
may not mature, but certainly there is a
sen timent.
This is really very funny, especially to
those who know of the hustling around
town the day of the caucus by interested
parties who feared their plans might be up
set. There will be no contest, but the Daily
News correspondent is no doubt correct in
saying there is Sentiment"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only way to
cure Deafness and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed Deafness is the result and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to its normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
