duced
l. N. HALLIDAY
as the toastmaster. Mr.. Halliday well
coined the guests OF the union in we'll
chosen words, and called out repeated
applause by his bright hits. In oonolu-
sion he said: 'sWhen I sound the key
note of heartiness for all that. shall nj
low my few words OF introduction, 1
think am right in adding that into
nothing more than into our prayers to
the Father should earnest whole heart
edness enter, and shall now ask one
whom we all believe to be warm in his
heart toward God and the church, to
lead our thoughts upward at the begin
ming Of this hour. Rev. w. S. Jones Of
Pleasnntdale will lead us in prayer"
After the prayer the toastmaster in
troduced
CHA RLES W. SMITH
who spoke in answer to the question
"Why Am Here?' He thought that
the tables themselves was a sufficient
answer to that question. Having rightly
given various reasons why various peo-
pie were present, he extended hearty
welcome to the guests of the union.
"Young People the Hope of the
Church." was responded to by
REV. WILLIAM WOOD,
pastor of the Peoples oh uroh Of South
Portland, who spoke OF the hidden
wealth of the young people of the church.
The church that does not have warm
welcome for young people is we'll nigh
dead. The young people are the reserve
fund of the ohurcn. In the Sunday
schools of the world there are 20.2e6, es3
scholars. In the Methodist church we
have 2.51O $50 scholars and 1875. $40

says, "Don't, DON'T" until the church
"don't," that's all. Life is sometimes
mistaken for wiokedness, but at the same
time Christ came to give man life.

launched the Christian church. Martin

ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.l

Washington, February 90 Much has
been said during the debates of the pres
ens Congress, about the competition
which may be expected from Japan,
where manufactured goods are produced
at surprisingly low cost. An interesting G
example has been sent to Speaker Reed
In the form Of a campaign fan. The
framework of the bamboo and the cover
ing of paper, in the usual form of the
Japanese fans long used in this country.
On one side of the fan are views of the
White House, the Capitol, the coat of
arms, the eagle and finally Columbia
herself, with yellow hair and blue
gown. On the other side are the various
candidates for the Republican nomina-
tion, prancing across the stage before a
mighty audience. "Tom Reed'' is the
leader Of the file, then "Levi Morton" I"
"John Sherman" sChauncey Depew,"
"Bill Mckinley and "Ben Harrison"

forms of Japanese art is decidedly

at the surprisingly low price of two cents
each.
During the past week there have been
two field days on the agricultural appro-
pria tion bill, in the course of..w hlch bat
| tie was joined between the partisans of
the Jerseys and the Holsteins. AS re-
ported from the committee the bill oar
ried an appropriation for compiling and
publishing the record of the tests of dairy
COWS at the Worlds Fair at Chicago
The point OF order was made against
| it that it was new legislation, there be-
ing no law calling for such an appropri.
ation. AS an appropriation bill ia sup
posed to allow money only for such
objects as are provided for by law, the
point of order was sustained and the np-
! preparation ruled out, The debate
brought out the fact that there was be-
meath 1t all considerable jealousy be-
tween the fanoiers Of different herds of
cattle. 1t seems that the jersey, Guer-
neys and Shorthorn cattle alone entered
| the Worlds Fair competition, while the
holstein and Anglesea men stayed out.
| The Jerseys scarried off the prize.aa So
there was feeling that the publication
Of the report by the government would
boom" one kind of dairy cattle at the
expense Of another.

WHEN the Imprint finds a candi.

WHEN the Imprint finds a candi,
date possessed Of brains, unyielding
integrity and perpetual morality,
we intend to point him out. The
Imprint is the paper that speaks
what it honestly believes and don't
care who it helps or hinders.
When we find a man who stands
for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and who has for his aim
the demonitization OF the white
metal, a man Of monster mind, a
man whose word is his bond, and
q man who endorses every word Of
the populist platform, we believe
him worthy Of the peoples trust.
Such are the true and noble char
acteristics Of Hon. II. C. Watson, a

Editor and Proprietor
THE JUDGEsTH1p.

TheIpeople ecan place Mr.. Garland
in the Judges Office with full assur.
ance that the affairs of the county
will be administered in an econom-
ical and intelligent manner. He
has experienced hard times himself
and knows how to sympathize with
people in like condition. BY fair
dealing and close attention to busi-
ness he has sbuilt up a good practice.
Heis thoroughly familiar with the
needs Of the county. He enjoys
an extensive probate practice. He
is careful and economical and has
good Judgment. We believe that
he intends, if elected, to manage
county affairs for the good Of the
people, and will not use the
influence of his Office to insure his
reelection. Enemies will be made
inevitably by a conscientious Judge.
No one realizes this fact more
clearly than does Mr.. Garland. He
will scrutinize all claims and
petitions, and will pass upon them
solely with an eye to justice and
economy. He is eminently fair.
He is not partisan in any sense
Of the word. Politics will not
enter into his management Of
affairs. Favorites will not be had.
All men will be treated alike; and
the Justice Of their cause and not
their political pull, will be consid-
cred. he is the man for the place.
A vote for him is q vote for econ
omy and the people know that has
not been practiced during the last
four years.

A QUESTION has arisen as to ii

a QUESTION mas arisen as to the
legality of the bill which provides
for the election by the legislature
Of a state dairy and food commits
sioner, who holds a billet worth
$1,000 a year and travelling ex-
penses. The present incumbent,
Mr.. Luce, is q holdover, having
been elected by the legislature of
1893, and the last legislature failed
to'alect asuccessor. When the term
for which he was appointed expired,
the secretary Of state withheld his
warrants, but the supreme court
sustained the holdovers, and war
rants have since been issued
regularly. Now the question is as
to whether the act providing for a
dairy and food commissioner was
ever regularly passed, and an
opinion from the attorney general
is expected in few days.
