A CLEAN CONTEST.

1t is a cheering Indication OF ad
vanced decency in politics to note thai
the Senatorial contest at Sacramento
was conducted as a clean affai,
throughout. There was 20 sign OF
money being used in any quarter and
there was no i'll feeling or newspaper
abuse INDUCED in.
Particularly noticeable was the hon.
orable and above board candidacy of
Samuel Shortridge. He entered into
no compromising combines, promised
no patronage and did nothing except
signify his willingness to enter
the lists as a Candidate for the sake Of
party harmony. He was in every wav
fitted for the place and showed
throughout the contest that a man
could enter such a fight and still
maintain his dignity and self respect.
Ills telegram Of congratulation to his
successful opponent showed the court
esq and good breeding of the man.

Mexico's ~Prosperity.

1he Mexican Herald Of recent date
contains the following article, which
shows the advantage Of using silver
as money.
1T is interesting to note that lust as
Mexico is spreading her silver tipped
wings for a higher flight into the
upper air OF healthy prosperity, great
American journals are telling their

THE BIG FIGHT.

Enterprising Associate press agents
have already located the big fight for
the National championship in this
city. While these dispatches seem to
have no foundation whatever. the
State Of Nevada has always heen
regarded by pugilists as an ideal
place for a contest of that kind. or
late years pugilism has assumed the
status Of a National sport and the
laws OF many Of the conservative
Eastern States are recognizing it as
such. As it seems Impossible to con-
troll it, and licensing it and regulat-
Ing it seems the only alternative.
New York now allows glove con
tests where the number of rounds are
limited, and such a law in Nevada
would bring tep or twelve tbous-
and people here twice a year to
witness championship contests, and
the license arising from such a source
would be considerable.
There is hardly a day in the wear
that a prize fight does not take place
ID some State in the Union and no
attention is paid to it, but the moment
a championship contest is spoken of.
there is a great uproar. The whole !
thing should be licensed and regu-
lated and brought under proper legal
restrictions.

REV. Mr.. NEWBERT TO REMAIN.
Withdraws His Resignation as Pastor OF III,
Unitarian Church.

At the Unitarian church. Sunday
morning. it was not alone the bright
bright sunshine, blue sky and crisp
morning air which seemed to invigor-
ate the congregation and make preva :
lent such cheerfulness and smiling. as
q casual attendant could but mark up
on every countenance, and there werf
a goodly number not women only. but
men We're conspicuous by their pres
ence.
What was the cause? 1t was the
good news that the popular young pas
tor, Rev. =. T. Newbert, had consented
To withdraw his resignation, and would
remain indefinitely with his church in
Augusta.
When, n few weeks ago. after care
full consideration, Mr.. Newbert placed
in the hands of the church committee
his letter of withdrawal. regrets at
the necessity of the step We're heard
not only from his own church people,
to whom he had so endeared himself
but laments came from every direction.
from church attendants and nom
church-goers.
Why do you let him soo was asked
of Augusta is noted for it's unity and
strength, but it seemed almost an i'm
possible thought and quite a selfish one
to ask Mr.. Newbert to remain, when
large societies with deep purses were
wanting him and duty to himself and
little family demanded a broader field
of work and its accompanying reward.
Determination not to yield without a
struggle, tempted the committee to at
tempt the seeming imposibility and to
sound the depth of the Pensioners.
The sounding has proven that the lib
eral faith in our vicinity is deep-rooted,
for it reaches well into the pocket
book" as one friend facetiously re-
marked. 1t seems almost phenomenal
and has only been possible because Of
the existing unity of feeling. that the
committee has been able to advance
Mr.. Newbert's salary $500 and ask him
to remain where his work has been
tested and not found wanting. and
where, as a minister he enjoys the
unique position CT satisfying every
body.
We wish him many years of contin-
ued usefulness, fellowship and love
among the people of our city.
An informal reception will be held at
the church parlors. this evening. at 8
O'clock All friends of the parish and
of Mr.. and Mrs. Newbert are cordially
invited to attend and unite with the
society in thir expression of pleasure
in the continuance of Mr.. Newbert's
pastorate at Augusta.

The selectmen of Phillips found an old
agreement the other day. between the
town of Phillips. and Payson Tucker. in
the Sandy River Railroad stock which
they then owned. agreeing at the same
time. to return it at the same price. with
in three years in case a standard guage
road wasn't built to the town within that
length of time. AT the expiration of the
time named in the contract. there was Il
great deal of interest in the matter, but
the agreement could not be found. 1t was
found however last Saturday in bunch
of old papers that We're piled in an out

made in 1885 when the contract time eX-

it during the ten years that have elapsed
since. 1t would be very hard to resur-
rect the ghost at this time.

A South Auburn man made consider
able fun at the ward five election in
that town. He was we'll known to all
of the ward officers and he didn't see
that it was necessary for him to give
his full name before casting his ballot.
He was told that this was one of the
requirements of the Australian ballot
law and that they would be obliged to
enforce it. The man was 10th to give
it up. but he finally said he would go
up and consult the board of registra-
ton. He went and when he returned
he was willing to vote according to
law. The same man lost his vote last
year because by law he was obliged to
announce his name to a ward officer
with whom he was not on speaking
terms. Rather than speak to the Of
ficer he was willing to leave the ward
room without voting.
