One OF the most disgraceful features in
our modern style OF journalism is that the
President OF the United States, whose
very station should command respect for
him, is made constant target for disre-
spect, writes Edward w Box. 1t makes
not the slig difference whether We
admire or do not admire the man who
occupies the presidential chair. He is
placed there by the expressed suffrage of
the people, and when he is SO placed and
is the occupant OF the high office, he has a
right to the respect OF the people OF the
country over which he presides.
But this Is denied our President. The
decent respect which We mete out
to ordinary men is refused him. We
excuse this by saying that he was not our
choice, or that he holds the position by
accident. No man elected to the office of
President OF the United States can be
an accident. He is placed there because
OF his fitness for that office. And al
though we may not agree always that he
is as able as some other man, 1t Is only
pure justice that We give him the benefit
OF the doubt.

NO ELECTION IN OTIS.

Town Clerk Eben kingman, OF Otis,
sends the following explanation OF the
failure OF an election in Otis:
The town met according to notice for
election of State aud county officers;
waited until 2 O'Clock for the constable to
come with the warrant. AS he did not
make his appearance, went to his house
and found that he was away out of town
and in another county. Sent a team for
him; he did not come, but said the war
rant WAS at his house all right. Called
and got it, but his return WAS not on 1t {,
therefore could not open the meeting.
Everything else WAS in readiness at 9
o'clock a. III. The name of this consta BILE
is E. l.. Grover"

HOSE RACING AT ROCKLAND.


Beaten but with Colors Flying.
The two Ellsworth hose racing teams
the light-footed worlds champions, the
Senators, and the Dirigos, beaten but
undaunted and as courageous and speedy
as ever-went to Rockland last Thursday
to compete in the hose races. They
hoped to capture prizes, and many
admirers here felt confident that one or
both OF them would. But alas, they
were doomed to disappointment.
The companies went to Rockland by
the steamer "Catherine' which they
chartered for the trip, selling excursion
tickets. The weather looked unfavorable
at the hour Of departure in the morning,
and the number of excursionists was not
as large as it would have been had the
clerk of the weather been more kind.
Those who remained at home waited
impatiently but confidently for the good
news from Rockland. Late in the after
noon came the message over the wire
"Dirigo fuked at pipe; Senators at
hydrant."
Those few words, Greek perhaps to the
uninitiated, spoke heartless volumes to
the devotees OF hose racing. gloom fell
over the city--a gloom which was not dis
PEELED even by a night of quiet repose,
and the merry music of the band playing
1--WE may have seen better days" as it
escorted the returning hose boys from
the boat in the early morning.
But as the sto-y Of the races was told in
detail, it soothed somewhat the wounded
feelings. The boys admit defeat, they
were beaten because Of accidents for
which they alone were responsible, but
it is in the knowledge that their defeat
was due to accident that they find conso-
lation. They did not carry off the prize,
but they made good time, the Senators in
particular. The Rockldnd Tribune gives
this account of the Senator'S run:
The senator llales of Ellsworth, who have
earned wide reputation for coming within
half a second of the worlds record in practice,
came next. This company Is composed of
Young blood, and among them are II number of
l0I. second men. They were evidently the
favoriles. for when they marched To the hy-
drant the great crowd burst into wild cheers
and the delegation of Ellsworth excursionists
sent their hats aloft.
Up to this time the Bar IIarbor team was
supreme, but the enthusiastic hackers of the
Senators allowed that the Orioles were going
to have their troubles. And it certainly looked
that way, for they made splendid run to
their bicycle reel and when they came back to
the hydrant 1t looked rs If they were going to
have n walk over. At this point most agra
waiting and unexpected accident occurred, for
instead of making quick connection at the
hydrant the hose was carried fully ten feet past,
and by the time 1t had been dragged back and
made secure it was fifty seconds when the water
forced through the nozzle and Ellsworth's
teams hopes were dashed.
The first prize was captured by the
Brewer company, with the Orioles, Of
Bar Harbor. second, and the II. l. c. COM
pany, OF Bath, third.
The Ellsworth teams having nothing
but words of praise for their treatment in
Rockland.
