The new city government, elected Mon
day, have no easy task before them. City
offices are thankless positions at best, and
it is subject for congratulation that so
many men of capacity and business ex-
perience should have consented to accept
them this year. The only reward they
can expect in return for labors that must
be arduous and exacting will be the CRATE
full appreciation of their fellow citizens,
and this we believe they will merit and
receive. They find depleted treasury,
high tax rate, no work done on the sew
ers for the past year; and the streets and
sidewalks in the worst possible condition.
To continue work on the sewer system,
to restore the streets and sidewalks, and
to provide for the necessary expenditures,
would call for an increase in the present
tax rate, and that, of course, is not to be
thought Of The appropriations must be
brought within the resources, and with
the same prudent management and care
full expenditure that makes private bust
ness ventures successful the city will be
placed once more on firm footing.

Dubois of Idaho was an accidental Sen
ator, neither party service nor ability en-
fitting him to the position. Elected as a
Republican he joined the silver obstruc-
tionists in defeating useful legislation,
and in the recent Presidential campaign he
enlisted with the Populists. Defeated for
re election he ceased to be a member of
the Senate last Thursday. Before his de-
parture to the obscurity of private life,
from which he should never have emerg-
ed, he told the Republican Senators that
they could not organize the next Senate
or any other Senate, and declared that the
Republican party as party had written
its last law on the statute books of this
country The New York Tribune thinks
that Dubois does not have as clear a con-
ception of the situation as the hardy old
mountaineer had, who, when his wife
said to him, "Why, Pepper, your feet are
cold. Your re goin' to die. What will
become of us?'' answered grimly: ooh,
g way! | dunno what'll come of you
me- Dubois needn't bother aboutwhat' IL
come of the Republican party. It's of
more consequence to him what II come of
him.

President Mckinley's inaugural address
is printed in full in other columns and it's
comparative brevity will ensure it the
caleful reading it deserves. Delivered
one week ago, and published simultane-
ouSiy in all sections of the country, it has
received no hostile criticism worthy of at
tention. 1t is conservative in tone, accu-
rate in statement, and unanswerable in
logic. Three questions-the currency,
the revenues and the trusts-are given
special prominence and are dealt with in
manner that must ensure general com
menddtion Three other great issues
international arbitration, civil service re-
form and migration-are LUMINOSITY
dealt with. The entire address is admir-
able in language and temper. 1t will
give the people, without distinction of
party OF section, a decidedly favorably
impression of its author, and have good
influence in every respect.

That is the right spirit. 1t can at least
be said of MI. Cleveland that he does not

the hostile criticism he has incurred from

rebounds to his credit.

Cramps in Monroe"

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL In
your issue OF March 4th, l read an article on
'Iramps in Monroe" AS am the keeper
of the Town Farm and the man spoken of
in that article, l wish to let the public
know through the columns of your valuable
paper how much truth there is in that arti-
Gle. The writer says that the number of
tramps exceeds any previous year. He
seems to have very poor memory or he
would remember that three years ago there
were 125 tramps in Belfast Jail at one time.
and % of them by the order of the commits
sloners were transferred to Bangor jail We
all know what that mismanagement cost
this county. The writer asks: WHY does a
small town like Monroe have 50 many
tran ps There is nothing very mysterious
in that when you take into consideration
the large number of men out of employ
ment this winter, and that this town is on
the main turnpike road, half way between
two cities. The writer would have the pub
lie believe that all the tramps in Belfast
jail came from Monroe. Where do Burnham,
Brooks, Thorndike and Unity come in? The
records at the Jail will show. Now in re-
gard to my giving the tramps the best of
food. have only used them like men and
human beings. l buy and pay for all the
food they have eaten here this winter, and
if choose to give til I'm square meal that is
my business, and when the Selectmen of
this town send tramp to me I am obliged
to keep him over night and feed him l do
not go out in the road and invite tramps in
to dine with me and if this town is willing
to care for tramps, what is the gentlemen
kicking about? j. BOWEN

Special Cable De,patch 10 THE suS.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-Mr. William Mather, an
ex-member OF the House OF Commons and man.
aging partner OF the Great Stafford Iron Works,
has written to the Employers Federation and
the Analgamated Society of Engineers making
proposals to end the great strike in the engi.
neering trades. which has been in progress for
overtwo months. In effect, Mr.. Mathcr proposes
n compromise bnscd on forty.eight hours as a
weeks work. with n mutual agreement that tho
shifts shall work overtime. The Employers
Federation will have the right to decide the
question OF tho employment of machine tools
and the labor connected Herewith, ana will
undertake not to impair the trade unions or to
exclude any engineer from employment because
he belongs to the Amalgamated Society.
The Employers Federation will meet In Lon
don on Friday, and will then consider the pro-
posals. The Daily Ncus says it thinks the en-
ployers will accept the proposals as the basis OF
a settlement OF the dispute, but this is doubtful,
for the Executive OF the Federation
have repeatedly declared their unalterable de-
termination to smash the Amalgamated Society.
