BETTER THAN All OF Them.

Mocha coffee from Yemen in Arabia, is Feputed
to be the best; but the principal supplies are now
obtained from Ceylon, Java, the West Indies
Brazil and Central America. No matter where it
comes from, every berry of it contains caffeine
which is slow poison. The more coffee YOU drink
the more your nerves are disordered and upset
and your digestion injured Coffee makes you
tidgety and wakeful, then you take sedatives to
quiet you A bad business all around Break it
it up by using Grain-O instead of coffee. Made
from pure grains it is true food and body builder
as well a delightful and healthful beverage.
Make this change and you will soon cease to real
ize that you have nerve in your system. The
coming table drink is Grain-O. Consult your
grocer. Packages 15c. or &c. each-one-fourth
the cost of coffee. linz

Governor Powers inaugural address.
printed in full in other columns, is an
able, straight forward business-like doc
ument and has been received with the
general commentator it richly merits
His decided stand in favor of economy is
in line with the best public sentiment.
He points out that the same ratio of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the next two
years as in the past two years would result
in a deficit of more than 100000 and
further that the tax receipts this year are
likely to fall off some $50, 900, on account
of the reduction of quarter mill in the
tax rate. Therefore he sees no way to do
but to restore the former tax rate of two
and half mills and cut down annual ex-
penditures about $125, 900. But wherever
saving is to be made, he would not scrimp
on appropriations for the schools, the in
sane and the pensioners. What Gov. Powers
says with regard to highways will be read
with interest, and every one must admit
the necessity for reform in this direction
He finds that nearly 5000 persons were
distranchised at the last September cleo
ton owing to misunderstanding of the re-
auirements of the election law. If to this
is added the large expense entailed upon
the people by the Australian ballot law it
would seem that the best thing to do is to
repeal rather than amend it. The tone OF
the message throughout is conservative
and business like and it deserves careful
roadinr

elergymen of the State, OF all denomina
TONS who met in Auburn last November
and organized a Maine Civic League, the
objects of which were explained and com
mended in our issue of Nov. 18th. Briefly
stated, the aim of this League is the cul-
tiyation and Improvement of municipal
governments and general civic affairs. A
gratifying feature of the movement here
is that it has brought all our clergymen
together as never before in the history of
Belfast.

Gov. Powers: 1t is my deliberate
judgment that, in a time of profound
peace, we cannot afford to be continually,
year after year, running in debt OF hav-
ing our expenditures exceed our receipts
and thus creating a constantly increasing
deficit, to be tided over by temporary
loans or funded into more permanent ones.
We have arrived at a point where it is
imperative that our expenditures must be
brought within our income.

Under the editorial head are two and
one-half columns of amendments to the
tariff, followed by Notes and Comments and
then by local news, half dozen or more
Items. The remaining pages contain more
or less miscellaneous matter, largely taken
from English papers, European news by

be read with interest in connection with the
following:
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a A few weeks
ago vessel putting in at Lisbon after trip
around Cape Horn reported the destruction
by volcanic action of the Juan Fernandez
island, famous as the tabled home of Robin
son Crusoe. The master claimed to have
seen the catastrophe from the deck of his
vessel. The report was not given credence
at the time by scientific men, and many de-
mails are printed i'll papers and magazines.
But Captain Powells of the British ship
James Kerr, now in port, asserts that the
story is generally believed by sea-faring men
all over the world. The James Kerr recent
iy arrived from New Castle, N. S. W. where
she was laid up four months on account of
the coal strike. Captain Powells met large
number of master mariners there and says
that the destruction of the island was mat
ter OF common gossip among them.
The following from the CHILEAN Times of
Nov 18th would seem to give later news
from Crusoe land:
Mr. G. H. Prodgers left here ON October %
for the island of Juan Fernandez, which he
reached after voyage of eight days in the
little schooner which runs between here and
the island. He writes to friend saying
eve were followed by a jolly big whale for
about two hours, and he kept coming up to
have a look at us every now and again and
as he was larger than the boat he might very
easily have sent us to glory if he had liked
to charge the schooner" The schooner
leaves to-day for the island and Mr.. Prodgers
purposes coming back in her on the return
trip.
The San Francisco report has since been
discredited

that all differences outside those regard

zuela that now exist or may arise during
the next five years, between the two ma

high court of arbitration. No question
involving national honor or sovereignty is

King Oscar Of Sweden will act as final

The Waterville Sentinel has grievance.
After truthfully saying that it had en-
deavored IN the past to treat all it's con-
temporaries with due respect and cour-
tesy, The Sentinel says:
Now we dom t wish to insinuate that we
originate, but we do say that we never have
attempted to obtain our news from those
sources belonging to another paper.
As To this particular grievance we of
course know nothing, and have nothing to
say concerning ii; but if our Waterville
contemporary experiences nothing worse
he will be more fortunate than those who
have been longer in the business There
are people who consider it smart to do
things that are clearly dishonest and dis
reputable, but we doubt very much if they
profit by them in the long run.

The Populsts have decided to 90 it
a Lone in future, and have formally dis
solved their alliance with the Democrats
aud silver Republicans. This meets with
the full appreciation of Prof Bateman,
late Populst candidate for governor of
Maine. He says:
We are forever done with MI Bryan
and his silver issue. No more fusion for
ever, is the war cry of the Populists. We
shall demand a full legal tender paper
money, and the government ownership of
railroad, telegraph and telephone lines.
Bryan and silver are as dead as Julius
Caesar. The Populists want nothing
more to do with either. Bryan has been
vastly oYerrated. Butler, Allen and
Taubeneck have proven traitors to our
cause. Tom Watson is the coming man.
