when he announced that Bryan has
contributed 81 800 to the populist

ing that the anti-fusionists would
keep their hands off until after the
next national convention-or in other
words, not to interfere with the plans
Bryan is making to capture the pop
ocratic nomination in 1900. Bate
mans bomb caused an uproar i'll the

mails have been made by Bryan and

moved to LeyAnt. il Penob>eot county.
Here ms early years ~ere spent, and here
he Was educated until he entered Colby
university, where he studied for the
ministry.
After graduating lie was called to the
pastorate OF the Baptist church IN Har-

scented that district OF Washington coun-
" IN the State legislature one term.
From harrington he went to Brook lin,
ana IN 1897 came TO Ellsworth His
pastorate here was accompanied by
marked success. He injected into the
church renewed lie, and 1t was through
his efforts that the present Baptist church
WAS built in 1853. While here he also
supplied the church at Surry, and there,
too, his labors resulted in the building Of
new church building. which was burned
two years ago.
Early in the sos Mr. Coles religious
views underwent change, and finding
his more liberal ideas inconsistent with
his position as pastor of the church, he
retired from the ministry. A few years
later he interested himself in the effort to
esta bllsh Il liberal church here and WAS
one OF the most active in the movement
which resulted in the building Of the
Unitarian church in 1867.
In 1864 Mr.. Cole established the station
cry store, at present conducted by F. A.
Coombs. He retired from business in
November, 1894.
In his more active years Mr.. Cole in

The fact that President Mckinley
has so promptly and successfully
carried out this important feature OF
the foreign policy outlined by the St
Louis platform, has given additional
confidence in his wisdom and pro-
spective success in shaping satisfac-
tory policy with reference to Cuba.
The demand for instant action on this
subject, which was so strenuous a
month ago, seems to have entirely
disappeared, and there is a DISPOSE
ton to permit the President to form
ulate and carry out mis- policy, which,
it is believed, will be a just one and
satisfactory to the friends of Cuba.

Loose clothes and downv cushions bring only

The Tariff Bill.

The protest of the people against
the obstructive methods of the demo
cratic minority in Congress in oppo-
sition to the tariff bill has become so
general that even the obstructionists
themselves have been affected by it.
AS a result, the progress upon the bill
has been rapid during the past week,
and there is reason to hope, at least,
that the bill will pass the Senate by
the end of the month
Not only is the progress made by
the bill extremely satisfactory, so far
as relates to the Senate, but the pros
poets are that the time occupied in
conference will be unusually brief
Ordinarily a tariff bill is in conference
several weeks, sometimes months.
But there is reason to believe that the
time occupied by the conference COM
mittee Will be n brief. comparatively,
as has been the time occupied with
the otter features of the bill The
fact that the Senate has restored the
House rates in large number of
cases, and has nearly reached the
House figures or the most important
OF The changes made by the finance
committee, reduces very much the
time that the bill is likely to occupy
in reaching 4 complete agreement.
The bill, when it reaches the Presi-
dent, viii probably contain the House
rates On nearly all the important fea
lures. While it could scarcely be ex-
pected that the Senate would reject
the amendments which its own COM
mittee had proposed and go abso
lutely back to the House schedule,
there is 4 strong disposition among
senators to allow the conference COM
mittee to restore absolutely the House
schedules on first and second class
wools sugar, pottery, farm products
generally, and many other articles in
which the amendments made by the
Senate committee have proven un-
popular.
The bill as framed by the House
committee and passed by that body
was especially acceptable to the agri-
cultural interests, and especially ac-
ceptable to republicans generally, in
the fact that it precluded the posi-
bility of suspicion or successful charge
that it was framed in the interest of,
or to the advantage of, trusts of any
kind. Whether the Senate amend
ments are more favorable to the
trusts or not, the mere fact that many
persons believe them to be so is likely
to lead the conference committee to
restore absolutely the House rates,
and there is every reason to believe
that the Senate will promptly accept
them.
There is reason to hope that the bill
will become law early in July.

OBITUARY.
MARY CAMPBELL WHITING.

MANY taMfbElL "
The community was shocked end sad
dened last Thursday, June "a, by the an
nouncement OF the death of Mary Camp
bell, wife OF Henry Whiting, OF the firm
of Whiting Brothers, OF this city.
Mrs. Whiting had not been in good
health for a year or more. Accompanied
by her husband, she spent few weeks in
Florida last spring. and returned sppsr-
emily in improved health. Since her
return home she had been fairly well,
until about week ago. when marked
change for he worse became apparent.
The end came last Thursday afternoon.
Mrs. Waiting was the daughter of
Charles Campbell, OF Cherrytield. She
was married in 1882, and came to Els
worth to live. Her charming personality
at once made her a social fsvorite, and
she assumed position in the community
which she always maintained with grace
and dignity, loved and respected by all.
Never having been blessed with children
OF her own, she took delight and comfort
in little attentions to those OF her neigh
bors and friends, and greatly will she be
missed by the little ones. The heartfelt
sympathy OF the community goes out to
the griefstricken usband.
Those who knew Mrs. Whiting best
and were the most with her will lovingly
remember her happy ways, her constant
friendship, her cheerful heart and the
bright welcome which she always had In
her home for those she !ored-they will
never forget her.
Besides q hus band she leaves father and
mot her, two sisters-Mrs. Grace Baldwin,
OF Ailston, Mass, and Miss Alice Camp
bell, OF Cherry field, and three brotbers-

One task to which the department
OF agriculture is now bending It's en-
ergies is to bring back that favorable
condition which the Harrison admin
istration created with reference to
markets for American meats abroad.
1t was the pride of Uncle Jerry
Rusk that under his administration of
the department of agriculture, in con-
junction with that of the state depart
ment and the reciprocity features of
the Mckinley law, the foreign mar
kets for American meats We're greatly
improved The repeal of the McKin-
ley law and its reciprocity features
closed these markets, and it is now
necessary for Secretary Wilson, in
conjunction with the state depart
ment and the trainers of the tariff law
to again begin the work that Secretary
Rusk began eight years ago, in the
work of giving to the American far
mers the markets of the world for
their products.
