RALLY AT WEST FALMOUTH.
Mr.. Arthur Richie Predicts Victory in
Waldo-Gen. Mattock's Strong and Elo-
quent Argument.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

West Falmouth, Sept. 5.-An en-
thusiastic Republican rally was beld
here this evening. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. J. E. Whitney.
to the Town Republican Committee. v
The first speaker introduced Ewas Mr.
Arthur Ritchie, of Monroe, Waldo
county. Mr.. Ritohie states that, oil
though Waldo county claims to he the
headquarters for silverism, it is firmly
believed that the county will 60 Repub-
lican by an encouraging majority. NJ T.
Ritohie then spoke very Eably for half
hour upon the financial question, dwell
ing somewhat at length upon, and ex-
employing the correctness Of Gresham
Law" under which the dearer of two
metals in use as coin will leave country
while the cheaper will remain, thus
illustrating the doctrine Of the ''sur-
vival of the fttiest." He cited the state
ment Of Blackstone that the less of the
precious metals. there are in this country
the lower will be the prices of commodi-
ties. Therefore fit is necessary to keep
gold and silver so regulated as to keep as
much as possible Of each coin in coun-
try which uses both. But from this it
does not follow that they should both
te given equal prominenceiby an at
tempted legislative ratio not based upon
relative intrinsic values. The only pos
sible way to do this Is to regulate the
coinage Of the metal which from its
nature is the most liable to fuctuation
in value. Gold, from its extreme scarc-
ity and COST of production, and from
being, the world over, the most valuable
of all metals, will regulate itself. Sill
yer, II coined on a basis of bullion value
would also regulate itself If the output
of the silver Of the world did not fuctu-
ate, and If it's value had not been in.
fluenoed or determined by the concerted
action Of 80 many of the most edvaneed
nations of the globe. The causes of the
depreciation of silver are hard to deter
mine, but we are obliged to confront the
fact that it has deteriorated fifty DER cent
in value since the so-oalled "crime of
1873" For the present. at least the only
safe legislation would be to regulate it's
coinage until it's future parity with gold
on permanent and safe ratio can bs
fixed by international agreement. What
is needed now is confidence. Confidence
will make business and business will
bring relief to our suffering Industries.
The next speaker was
GEN. CHARMS P. MATTOCKS
of Portland, who seems to be taking
quite AN active part in this campaign
and Is announced to speak at six differ
emit places In Waldo county next week.
Gen. Mattooks held his audience for a

If this meeting should be thrown

night he breathed his last. Today the
Saviour calls. All may come. God
never pushes a man off: God never

was on Friday night. I said, "We
will kneel down and find out whether
there is any God" And in the sec.
ond seat from the pulpit we knelt. He
said: II have found him. There is a
God, pardoning God. Ifeel him

sin. He arose two minutes afterward

In our August report we called the
attention of the treasurer to seven
school certificates, amounting to $3.50,
which were forgeries. The present
treasurer never having been served
with such an order, has paid $150 to
the Farmers Bank for these forged
certificates, taking an indemnity bond
from the said bank. We recommend
that suit be entered at once against
the Farmers Bank for the recovery of
this money.
Since our investigation commenced,
last July, we have found errors, ire:
gularities and shortages 10 the amount
of So, ,248.95. Some Of this amount has
already been returned to the treasury,
and all of it will 60 back to our treas
ury if our county gets its dues, and
there is very little doubt but that the
money can be made out of the parties.
The tax execution business is not in:
cluded in this So, ,24S.95.
We find the books used by. the diff
ferent Offices to be very unsystematic,
SO much so that we earnestly urge an
immediate adoption of a systematic
form. Especially do We recommend
this in the offices of the auditor, treas
urer and sheriff.
We have examined all of the coun-
ty officers for two years, bringing
them up to August 1, 1895, except the
treasurer's and sherif's, which we
have brought up to October 1896. .

The Barrel Head Theory.

j. A. Ramage, O district preacher of
Sewer county, Tenn, is now engaged in
interesting the upper portion of that coun-
ty in the mysteries of new theory as to
the end of the world.
The theory is that the world is fiat, like
q barrel head. The theorist claims this is
original With him and the Bible, but his
tory says it was the starting point of our
present orange shaped world. He says the
plate of earth revolves as it pleases and is
governed solely and completely by Its own
sweet will, going thither and coming
hither also vice versa, without regard for
the burdensone laws of gravity or respect
for the claims of the solar and other OBJ
jectionable heavenly bodies.
Then the theorist goes into details which
will be valuable to the scientific world.
He represents the world as being set, fat
as it is, upon four props, one at each cor
ner, and the most interesting phase of the
prop feature is that they are made of locust
wood
And the theory still further continues
| with the startling statement that these To-
Gust props will some time rot and decay,
and when they do so the world will fall to
some kind of space, striking with a dull,
sickening thud, and burst into fragments
and molecules, atoms and such indivisible
| objects of physical matter.
| The Sevierville divine is actually preach
| ing his astounding doctrine, and the uppel
corner of Sewer county is delving deep II
the mysteries of the new theory. Knox

Tn. New wedding Stationery.

Several changes In the style and shape
Of stationery pertaining TO weddings are
noticeable this season." writes Edward
Clayton Staley in The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "a rather large, almost square, note
with ON oblonR envelope takes the place of
last years octave size, for which a square
envelope was required. The principal
reason for this reversal Of sizes Is that the
square note accommodates better the fire.
quently long lines Of names and date,
while, by engraving the lines slightly
closer TO each other, a handsome marginal
effect is produced, one that would be en-
tirely lost upon the narrower note. The
new style of engraving is plain script,
without flourish, small enough to enable
all the names to be spelled out In full.
"Then the oblong envelope Is not so
slender as to be classed commercial, and 1t
admits of superscription in the fashion
ably large lettering affected by women Of
society. The quality of paper remains the
same as formerly and is the white parch-
ment or ki0 finish, which, under the pres
sure of the printing rollers, is rendered
comparatively smooth. The square or
fancy flap of the envelope has been en-
tirely superseded by the plain, modest
pointed one"

never hau a warm, nngfudging word OF
heartfelt praise for the great things which
our kinsmen have done, for their unweary-
ing industry, their virtues In peace, their
doggedness in war, their unparalleled
clemency when the war was over. We
have always fastened upon the small, rude
details and overlooked the great facts be-
hind. In our shocked contemplation OF
an expectoration upon the floor we have
lost sight Of universal suffrage and equal
education. Our travellers, from Mrs.
Trollope and Dickens onward, have been
surprised that the versatile, hard working
men, who often combined ten trades In
one to adapt themselves to the varying
needs of a raw, growing community, had
not the manners Of Oxford or the reposo
Of Sussex. They could not understand
that this rough vitality and overbearing
energy which carried them through their
task implied those complementary defects
which must go with unusual virtues. OF
all English travellers TO the States there
was hardly one who did not make mischief
with his "reminiscences until, in our OWL
days, Mr.. Bryce did something to rectify
the balance And our want of charity
and true insight are the more inexcusable
since no one has written more charmingly
of England than Washington Irving, EN-
erson and Holmes. Our journals and
public men ore in the habit now, as rule,
of alluding to America and Americans in
the most endly way, and that must in
time have its effect, If recent unhappy
events do not change it. We should, in
my opinion, lose no opportunity o{ doing
those little graceful acts of kindness which
are the practical sign of brotherly senti.
ment Above all, should like to see an
Anglo-American society started in Lon
don, with branches all over the empire,
for the purpose OF promoting good feeling,
smoothing over friction, laying literature
before the public which will show them
how strong are the arguments in favor Of
| an Anglo-American allianceand supplying
the English press with the American side
| of the question, and vice versa. Such an
organization would, am sure, be easily
founded and would do useful work TOWARD
that greatest Of all ends, the consolidation
of the English speaking raees.-A. Copar
