Population of TazeweM.

We are glad to be able to give our
readers this week the exact number
of inhabitants of the town. 1t has
been matter of conjecture and dis
pute. Mr.. Jno. H. Lewis was ap
pointed some time ago to take a
census. He has just completed the
tedious and laborious task. The total
number OF inhabitants, white and
colored of both sexes is 1865. Mr..
Lewis did not keep seperate lists of
colOred aud white. About
twelve years ago, the census showed
about 700, so we lack only about las
of doubling our population during
this time. This is a good showing
While nearly all other towns show
a falling off in ten years, we have
grown steadily all the time, and are
still growing.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

Ex-Gov Altgeld and Senators White
and Jones have furnished the New York
Herald with their explanations of the
fall of silver and the rise of wheat, and
they are undoubtedly the correct ones.
Wheat has risen because, as they say,
there is an increased demand for it, and
diminished supply, and silver has fallen
because with regard to the white metal
these conditions are reversed. But the
phenomena, they explain, are not what
the public want them to explain. Sup
ply and demand had been recognized as
important factors in determining price
for great many years. Nobody would
have taken issue with Altgeld and Jones
if they had preached the doctrine last
year which they are now preaching. If
Altgeld had said when on the stump last
year that silver had fallen because there
had been great increase in the supply
and decrease in the demand consequent
in part upon its characterization, and that
wheat had fallen because the supply had,
outrun the demand, nobody would have
quarreled with him. But that WASH t
their doctrine then as far as wheat was
concerned. SILVER had fallen, they said,
on account of its demonetization and con-
sequent less demand for it,, but wheat
had fallen, they claimed, not because of
any conditions affecting it directly, but
in response to the fall of silver. Silver,
they commended, had dragged wheat down
and they further claimed that wheat
could only be raised in price by pre-
vious raise in the price of silver. In short,
their contention was that silver and
wheat were tied together, that the latter
went down when the former went down,
and that it could only go up when silver
went up. What the public want is an ex-
PLANTATION of what has actually taken
place consistent with this theory, or a
confession that the theory is erroneous.
So far it has got neither. The explana-
ton given doesn't tally at all with their
last year. claim, but directly refutes it.
But while they offer it they still cling to
their theory.

Christian Science Voices.
{ From the Boston Home Journal

(From the Boston Home Journal.)
Mrs. Josephine Curtis Woodbury. is a
woman of high culture, and belongs to a
family (Battles) that has produced many
notedly gifted members. In the socalled
Christian Science movement Mrs. Wood
bury, by her success as speaker and
writer and her. consistent devotion to her
faith, has won a position second only to
that of the founder and p resident of the
Christian Scientists Association, Rev
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. A volume
of Mrs. Woodbury's writings has just
been published with the title "Chisti an
Science Voices" The contents of articles
and essays written from magazines and
newspapers during the last twelve years,
and now revised ana corrected by the au-
thor. The book is full of beautiful and
lofty thought, which will delight the
reader whether or not he agrees with the
views of Mrs. Woodbury.. There are a
few criticisms which show that the writer
can WELD very sharp pen without dip
ping 1t in gall. To all believers in
"Christian Science" the book will be
highly priced, while others will read it
with interest. The value of the book is
enhanced by an artistically beautiful por.
trait in color of the author given as
frontispiece. Boston: Press Of Samuel

ALL MANNER OF THINGS
Included in the Report of the State Board
of Agriculture.

The thirty-ninth annual report of the
secretary of the State board of agricul.
ture, Hon. B. Walker McKeen, is ready
for distribution.
Cuts are literally interspersed showing
matters of interest concerning farm ma
terials and animals, growing crops, etc.
So much for the pictures.
The subject matter is too extensive to
be successfully comprised in 80 short a
space as is here permitted. There are 535
pages, all told, giving accounts of the
work done directly and indirectly by the
board.
First comes the report Of the secretary,
which is given in full detail, including
tables showing values of live stock, etc.
Following is the address on the subject
Influence of Width of Tire on Draft of
Wagons" given by Prof. Charles D.
Woods at the last meeting of tho board
Then are the five minutes talks by mem
bers on various subjects.
Further in the book is the report of the
proceeding of the State dairy meetings
held at Skowhegan, December End and
3rd, which includes review of the dairy
interests, theswinter feeding of dairy cows,
with illustrative tables.
The matter of practical road improve
ment is discussed in paper which was
given, last winter, by General Roy Stone
at the State House.
''The Chemistry of Meats and thu
Chemistry of Their Cooking" is the sub
ject of a lecture delivered at Fryeburg by
Prof. Charles D. Woods of Orono.
The report includes an abstract of the
cattle commissioners report and the work
done for the year.
Eighty three pages of the report are de-
voted to the work of the State College
Agricultural Experiment Station, with
the many subjects taken up at this insti-
tuition, fruit and vegetable culture, dairy
study of destructive bugs and beetles, etc
Not least among the subject in import
ance is that of sanitary condition for
barns, etc. Diagrams of the most ap-
proved fittings for COW barns are given
to illustrate the advised methods. A
paper on the effect of tuberculin in cows
is included by +. L. Russell. Orchard
notes and winter gardening are given to
considerable length.
The report concludes with the work Of
the State Pathological Society for the
year.

CURRENT COMMENT.
NEW ENGLAND AND THE CANA
DIAN ROADS.
Boston Advertiser. }

Business men in this part of the
country still remember the time when
New England was at the mercy of the
American trunk lines which stand behind
this movement At that time New Eng
land business was taxed unjustly and un-
fairly. By securing connection with he
Canadian roads it became possible for
New England to resist this unfair tax
and to secure an abatement of it. For
that reason New England business men
have steadily resisted every effort of the
American trunk line to cut New England
off from the outlet by way of Canada.
While the proposed imposition of dis
eliminating duty might not directly bring
about the isolation of New England, there
Is at least chance that it would lead to
such a condition; and it is because of
that chance that New England industrial
and commercial interests now protest.

Wheat and corn are not the only farm
products which are closing the mouths of
the calamity howlers. Hogs, which were
bringing last year about the time Bryan
was making his fallacious arguments,
$2.7O to s.. 80, per hundred pounds, are
now bringing in Nebraska So. SO. Cattle
are also higher than last year, corn fed
steers selling for 40 or so cents more per
100 pounds. Surely a season of unex-
alnpled prosperity appears to have opened
for the farmers of the West.
