The Maine newspapers and the Maine
correspondents of outside newspapers
have really done more to advertise the
State than all other enterprises put to-
gether. They have stood up for Maine,
Dragged for Maine and some of them have
almost lied for Maine, and all for the
sake that the best State in the Union shall
not De Updervalued or forgotten If Maine
has any loose change to spend in subsi-
dies, let the Legislature remember the
newspapers. Augusta Cor Bangor News.
This paragraph was prompted by prop
ositions before the legislature to make APP
preparations for photographers and lee
turers to advertise Maine 1t is in line
with our comments on the proposition be-
fore the Maine Press Association at it's re-
cent annual meeting that the newspapers
should give free advertising to hotels and
boarding houses; but more vigorously ex-
pressed. OF course the Maine newspapers
do not ask for subsidies but it is only lust
that their work in behalf of the State
should receive such recognition as above.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and there
fore, requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, o., is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly the

offer hundred dollars for any case it fails to

The HeraId's Editor is Kindly Remem-
bered by His Co-LabOrers.
Christmas eve, in the afternoon,
after the HERALD had gone to press,
the employees of the COLUMBIA
HERALD, towit: w. G. Aydelotte,
Joshua Guest, Lewis White, Bruce
Tucker, Hugh Blair and j. NJ.
Foster, accompanied by Mr.. Sam
Holding, filed into Editor Lander's
private office without any notice of
warning to that gentleman of the OBJ
ject of their visit. Mr.. Lander, thus
so suddenly surrounded and taken by
surprise, surrendered without re-
sistence, threw up his hands, opened
his heart and offered his keys. But
the good humored smile on his face
soon deepened into a serious eX-
preston of a heartfelt emotion and
gratitude, as he learned that his
force had remembered him this
Christmas, and had come to present
him with a gold-headed cane. Mr.
Holding had been requested by the
gentlemen to make the little speech
of presentation, which he did as
follows:
"Mr. Lander: l am charged by the
employees of the COLUMBIA
HERALD to present to you this gold
headed cane, as testimonial of
their esteem and regard for you, and
also as manifestation of their APP
probation of the esteem and regard
which they feel you bear them, and
for the uniform justice, courtesy and
consideration which has always
marked your relations with them.
They are deeply sensible of the high
plane upon which you have pitched
your conduct toward them; it has
been marked by confidence and re-
spect, showing just and proper APP
probation of the dignity Of labor,
and high sense of what is due a
feel that the great industrial world
without could learn valuable les
son by studying the methods of this
office, and in the justice and cordial
feelings of mutual respect and con-
fdence which prevails here between
employer and employee, the dis
cordant relations of the great world
of capital and labor might find a
happy solution.
"They present this cane to you as
an expression also of their utmost
good will, and with the most cor
dial wishes for your personal hap
piness and prosperity, and may it be
your pleasure and an ornament un-
til the grey hairs Of an hOnored
career make it useful as well as Or
namental."
Mr.. Lander was taken completely
by surprise and was very much
moved by the kindness and good
will which animated his force. In
a feeling manner he returned his
thanks, and assured them that he
entertained for them those high
feelings of esteem and regard which
they had uniformly shown him.
He appreciated the cane for its own
beauty and value, but a thousand
times more for the cordial spirit of
kindness and good will which moved
them in giving it. After wishing
them a merry Christmas and "a
happy New Year, the little company
dispersed, everybody feeling better
and happier for what had tax en-
place.
