they alone hold prosperity in their CRASH
Their remedy is the coinage of silver ~

Heretofore, whenever gold and silyar
have stood together it has been at tho

always married them according to their

There is another class of political
oratory which deserves reprobation-
the oratory which paints the enemy
in deep black. If anybody had the
curiosity to See what | said of our

which depicts one-tenth of the evil
which has happened. When / told you

could do would be to prevent evil
This we did and it takes a good deal
OF sense sometimes 10 do no evil We

should have been two years nearer

Greeting you this time with the same
frankness. | am bound to saw that the
evil which has come to us by an I'M
wise revision of the tariff has been
greatly aggravated by one of its con-

there been no deficit, then a hundred

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Washington, juno 10. The session of
Congress will adjourn tomorrow at four
O'Clock. The last appropriation bills
were agreed to this afternoon, the diIfi-
ouities over the sectarian appropriations
in the District of Columbia bill, being
settled by an arrangement similar to that
in the Indian bill.
The Senate bond bill will remain un-
acted On. This result was forced upon
the leaders of the House by the strong
Western sentiment against action. The
Speaker and the Eastern members gen.
orally wanted action but the central west
was very strong against action and their
strength was so large that the effect of
strong and united action could not be
obtained. 1t has been thought, and
probably correctly, that under such cir
oumstances the financial situation would
be distured less by letting the resolution
die on the calendar.

Bradley had since negotiated with Mo
Kinley and other Presidential candidates.
Articles have been sent from here stat
ing that Gov. Bradley had letters in his

tended TO make public. After laboring
several days the governor tonight gave

the last days of Congress. He said that
it was stated by the press that 800, 00C
railway employees throughout the country
were watching with interest the pro.
grsss OF this bill in the Senate. If this
were true, they were doing far more
than the msmbe of the Senate.
EMF. Hill made a strong appeal in favor
of the passage of the bill.
MIR. Flatt, Republican of Connecticut.
moved to postpone its further consid-

FOR THE PA RTIALITY


with which this town has apparently
been treated by Father Time is this.
Bethel in 1874 celebrated the one hum
dredth anniversary of its first settlement.

within a comparatively few years the
centennial chorus of one of the prettiest
and most hospitable Of the towns of
Maine.
1t may be that practice makes perfect,
or it may be that Bethelites have a
natural genius for centennializing, but
whatever may be the case, 1t certainly Is
a fact that the celebration today would
have done credit to town ten times it's
size. The town itself is an ideal place
for celebration with its broad avenues,
fine shade trees AMI immense common,

An Interesting NIeering Last Night.
Notwithstanding the warm weather
the attendance at Garden Valley Lodge
seems to increase, and the interest IN
sbsted. Many members are in the
mountains and at the sea shore but
their places are filed by new recruits.
Last night two members were added,
and the evenings when there are not
limitations are the exceptions.
Officers were eleoted last night for the
next quarter but there was no scramble
for Office. Those chosen are Chss
Burroughs. G. T.; Miss L. Andrews, V.
T.; Mrs. r. G. Phillips, S j. T Miss
Rose Mersten, R. W. s. Hefin, F
S Miss Matte Andrews, T.; A G.

and Sentinel will be appointed by the
Q. T. aud V. 7.
Under good OF the Order treat was
given in roaring farce entitled CO.
which was full of fun from start &c
finish, and was admirably presented by
the actors. Those participating were
Sumner Hackett, Bert Lincoln and Mr..
Payne, and Misses Ljvinia and Matte
Andrews and A. B. Levens.
AT the beginning of the last quarter
Chief TemplaF Bond offered prize of
dvs dollars to the one bringing the
most most new members during the
term. A. P. WalbFldge was awarded
the prizs, which he announced would
be held as a nucleus for zegalia fund
as the Lodge was greatly in need of q
new regalie.
A party of twenty will go to Glendale
tonight 10 Grand the Canyon coach, to
assist in starting The Lodge on ths fall

The attendance lsst uight was about
sixty.
