THE CAUCUS IN BRISTOL.

nOSha is now open for business.
THE CAUCUS IN BRISTOL
The people in the town of Bristol
showed a commendabe interest in
their local government by a large at
tendance at their caucus to place in
nomination town officers. 1t is largely
conceded nowadays that party politics
should not dominate in the choice of
our court Judges and municipal officers.
The only partisan feature Of our caucus
was the label which was printed, Re-
publican, and no kick was made at the
few Democrats who assisted in naming
candidates. Why should not our eau
Gus be called a town caucus, us that is
just what it is?
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT ROADS.
Before business of the caucus was
entered upon r. T. Roberts made some
brief suggestions in regard to lettering
our roads He said the grader had
done much to improve them, and he
thought perhaps it had accomplished
nearly all it could do. We must now
look to a system Of gravelling to make
an advance towards permanently good
road upon which we could travel with
comfort in any season Of the year. But
before gravelling is commenced perfect
drainage of the road bed must be Sc
cured. There must be open bitches or
tile drains to carry off the water quickly.
The plan suggested was to commence
at some point on the road close by a
bed of gravel and proceed to gravel
from that. Thorough drainage is an
enormous benefit to dirt road en-
aiding it to dry quickly and preventing
its being cut up so badly If thorough
drainage alone can be accomplished
this season it would prepare the road
bed for grayelling another year. The
suggestions were made to bring the
matter to the consideration of the tax
payers so that if it should be deemed
desirable some definite plan could be
considered and adopted at town meet
ing.
Z
James Shumway said that in the
history of Bristol caucuses it was in
evidence that it had in certain times
produced fifty per cent more ballots
than there were voters. To avoid this
error in the future he made a motion
that voters be required to march up to
to the table and deposit their ballots
in the chairman's hat, he to see that
no voter deposited more than one ball
lot The motion prevailed and the re-
suit was satisfactory. Every nominal
ton was made by honest ballots, hon
estly counted.
DUST THAT YOU COULD CUT.
This method, however, caused a
great deal Of tramping, and the tramp
ing caused a dust so dense you could
cut it into patterns. The dust was
composed of dried mud from the high
ways, dried sputem, and aged tobacco
spit, flayored with second hand tobacco
smoke. What terrific constituents

voter comes down with it after taking
a cold he will need to tell the doctor

CARLISLE TALKS FOR A TAX
HAMLIN SUPPORTS CLAIMS OF
IMPORTERS
Attorneys Given Until Wednesday
to File Briefs in Support of
Their Claims
.ssoc,ated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Attorney
General McKenna today gave hearing
to parties interested in the question in
volved in section % of the new tariff act.
Some days ago the secretary of the
treasury received information from the
collector of customs at Chicago that a
large invoice of teas and other goods
from Japan had been received at that
port over the Canadian Pacific road and
asking If the 10 per cent discriminating
duty provided for in section 90 applied
to these goods. The question was re-
ferred to the attorney general for con-
sideration. The attorney general de-
cided to give a hearing today. Former
secretary Carlisle appeared for the Bos-
ton and Maine and former secretary
Hamlin represented the associated board
Of trade and the merchants association
of Boston before the attorney general.
Mr. Hamlin was the first speaker. The
question, he said, was whether goods
shipped from China or Japan to points
in the United States through Canada
were importations from Canada within
the meaning Of the statute. In the case
Of transaction, for instance, said he,
Of the sale of goods in China to mer-
chant in Boston there was no intermn-
diary The transit Of the goods through
Canada was never interrupted. The
goods, he insisted, could not fairly be
said to be expectations from Canada |
In the case of goods coming 10 the United |
States in bond from point in Canada, |
the solicitor of the treasury in an ex-
haustive ruling has decided that such |
entry of goods did not constitute an i'm |
portation within the meaning of the |
statute.
The decision Of the above question,
Mr. Hamlin says, hinged upon the con-
struction to be placed upon these words
Of the statute: Coming into the United
States from contiguous couDeries." He
submitted that the words did notapply
to goods in transit.
Mr.. Carlisle, who had been called into
the case only last night, in closing the
said that If section 90 did not
apply only to vessels he agreed with
Mr.. Hamlin that the words "came frto"
meant imports. But he contended that
The whole statute related only to goods
'imr orted in vessels of the United
States" The old statute did not meet
all the requirements. He argued that
ihst R6tdchIa dchIaYSSsw YSw had been, inserted to prevent
tax.
Mr.. McKenna asked II the last clause
of the statute exempting such goods i'm
ported in the United States in the course
of retail trade did not initiate against
Mr.. Carlisle's construction, to which
the latter responded that the words
"such goods must refer to goods i'm
ported in vessels not of the United
States.
The attorney general gave Mr.. Car
Isle and Mr. Hamlin until Wednesday
next to file their briefs.

Mining Litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14.-There is
every prospect Of another lively row in
the Hale & Norcross camp. M. w. Fox,
president of one Of the rival boards Of
directors OF the Hale & Norcross Min
ing company, held a sale today of some
q, 900 shares Of stock Of the company,
which ahd been advertised as delinquent.
There were no outside bidders, and all the
stock was bought in for the account of
the company, and is now in it's treasury.
The Grayson board of directors. however,
insists that this, sale was direct violation
of the order of the court restraining the
Fox board from selling the stock until
the quo warranto proceedings now pend
ing shall have been disposed Of. Suit will
probably be instituted Immediately.

BAD BUSINESS
Assemblyman Wright Has Many
Debts-No Assets

OAKLAND. Aug. 14.-Assemblyman
Howard E. Wright to day filed petition
In insolvency. His liabilities are placed
at sS76S7, with no assets. In January,
1898, Wright entered into a partnership
with Leroy G. Harvey and John M. Beck
In the real estate business. At that time
Harvey enjoyed the full confidence of
the business community and the firm
started out with very bright prospects
which, however, did not last long. Har-
vey soon developed peculiar business
methods and became in volved in serious
litigation. One result was that the part
nership was dissolved in December, 1895,
Harvey assuming all assets as well as
liabilities. He paid none of the debts
incurred by the firm, according to the
petition filed, and it devolved upon
Wright to pay them.
