The Kennebec Journal in its revised
returns give the vote of Dennistown in
Somerset county 13 Republican, and
Pleasant Ridge, 8 Republican, Demo-
crates, Populist. These votes we did
not have last week. The footings for
Somerset towns according to the Journal
taken from the clerks returns to the
Secretary of State are Burleigh, 2,l64 ;
Plaisted, 1852; Lancaster, 1872. Bur-
leigh's plurality, l,402. Totals for the
district: Burleigh, $3.50; Plaisted, 3,l7O
Lancaster, 305. Republican plurality,
$500. The Republican plurality in
September last in the district was 1858
on total vote of 81, 676. A correspond
ing plurality on the total vote of this
wear would have been 5, 402, instead OF
which it was 5000. This shows rela-
tive gain in plurality of more than 20 per
cent even over the very large one of
1896. From this we deduce that Demo
Gratis in this district, had not reached the
limit of their capacity to stay at home,
even in the year 1896.

SHERMAN ON TRUSTS.


Secretary Says the Present Law Is, Not
strong Enough.
New York. June 2S.-The Press prints
an interview with Secretary Sherman,
who is in the city.
On the subject of trusts the secretary
talked quite freely He said:
THE question Of the trusts is AL
together the most important of the day.
A combination of persons engaged n
common interests seems on its face to
be all right and fair enough, but it breaks
down competition and crowds out small
establishments.
The antitrust law IS not strong
enough. l wrote it, and the committee
on Judiciary made changes in it which
weakened It. l favor making unlawful
all combinations In restraint of trade
In the most direct manner. Trusts
claim to make lower prices. but 1 don't
believe 1t.
They put in the hands of a few men
the control of important Industries and
say the effect is to reduce prices. 1
don't think so. People have a fight to
compete with these industries.
THE restraint of trusts will become
effective under the proper kind of a
law"

INDEPENDENCE Day.

The "Glorious Fourth is upon us. 1t
occurs on Sunday this year which gives
the ministers and churches the right OF
way. The general and usual observance
of the day will be divided IN
between Saturday the Bird and Monday
the 9Th. This will prolong the agony of
fire cracker and other noisy demonstra-
lions so thoroughly enjoyed by the small
boy and some boys who are not so very
small. There are lots of places to go if
there is nothing exciting to keep our
people at home. Skowhegan has no
stated demonstrations this year but
other Somerset towns in this vicinity
have. North Arson celebrates the Sd,
Norrdgewock the 9th, with races. At
Hayden's Lake, Delano advertises all
day attractions, Monday the 5.h, and at
Lake George, Washburn does likewise.
1t is proper and right to give express
sion, reasonably, to noise and display
and thus show ardent patriotism. and
also it is desirable to remember the dav
in thoughtful observance, that shall re-
call the hardships, and privations of the
patriots of l776 the services and suffer-
ing of the soldiers in the field who a.
chieved the independence of this now
great nation, then weak people. 1t is
well also to recall the patriotic courage
of those men who signed the declaration
of independence, that immortal docu-
ment, that so strengthened the cause of
independence and freedom among the
nations. We cannot, TOO frequently
read the ringing declaration of inalien-
able rights, nor can we too carefully
study the principles enunciated in this
great paper. We can by its study learn
wisdom of the past to safely guide US in
the present and future and thus become
better citizens, and more worthy of our
ancestors, those great men who did their
part so nobly and wonderfully in that
crucial time, the birth of our nation.

children's day last Sabbath, the enter

little ones who with short preparation
did themselves honor and were a credit
to their superintendent, Jud. Packard.
We intended to mention some of the best
of the exercises but find it hard to pick.
but have to say that we are proud of our
little people. The organst was unable
to attend and Miss Vosmus of Skowhe-
gan was kind enough to oflieidte in that
capacity and was fully appreciated by
the audience. Visitors were present
from surrounding towns many of them
giving us word of encouragement for
which they have the thanks of the
school who would be pleased to see them
again. All in all we think the day a
success, that its promoter may well be
pleased with.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine takes
issue against the British government
because of the manner she treats her
subjects in India and exhibits photo
graphs showing groups Of starved fami-
lies of that famine stricken country.
The point is made that the expense of the
recent jubilee in honor of Queen Victor.
las reign would have alleviated untold
suffering among those unfortunate sub
ects of this rich and powerful nation.
The point is well taken. If England
could do but one, relieve its starving
thousands in India or celebrate the
jubilee it should have done the former.
1t could have done both and not felt ii
seriously.
