WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGS. Comman-
der Wilde has returned from Bath, Me-
to Washington where he witnessed the
trial of the new lighthouse tender May
flower just completed by the Bath Iron
Works Co. The trial was satisfactory in
every respect, the vessel developing 760
horse power, the contract calling for $50.
On her trial she made IA miles an hour,
which for vessel of 155 feet and 80 feet
beam, for work and not for speed, is re-
garded as a remarkable performance. ....
The report of fish commissioner Brice,
which has just been submitted to the presi-
dent, shows that in the course of the last
seasons operations at the cod stations in
New England $50, 900, 900 eggs were col
lected, from which 9S 600, 600 fry were
liberated on the natural spawning grounds
along the coast of Massachusetts,. The re-
suits secured were 40, 900, 600 fry in excess
of the previous year. Great efforts are
being made also to multiply the lobster,
the most important crustacean in the
United States, but which has been latterly
decreasing, and the results are very
satisfactory. The President has issued
a proclamation suspending the collection
of discriminating duties on Mexican ship
ping upon satisfactory proof that no dis
elimination is practised against American
ships in Mexican ports. The post office
employees in gray uniforms who carry let
ters for Maine cities cost the government

persons, provided they will vote for
him us this moi offering a bribe p
but he cannot deceive voters in this
way because every honorable citizen
wants a Judge who will show no
favors to any man, and for the
further reason that every intelligent
citizen knows that one of the reasons
why decisions are often reversed IN
the higher courts is on account OF
some political Judge trying to show
favors to some political supporter, in
order to pay some political debt
Fayors Of that kind are very costly,
as anyone who has ever carried a
case to the supreme court can attest.
If no other reason existed for
voting against Mr.. Wells, his letter
should be a sufficient one for every
honest man, but every voter has a
far better reason, The Hon. A. w.
Campbell is a man of unquestioned
integrity. a man who has served in
the important position of Judge of
the circuit court for eight years, and
who is noted wherever known as
being a fearless, impartial Judge.
His decisions are not based on
prejudice or favor, and every liti-
giant, whether he be farmer, laborer,
business man, corporation, resident
or nonresident, receives the same
impartial treatment. No matter
what public feeling may be, he
decides the law as he honestly un-
derstands it, let the result be what
it may.
This is the kind of a judge the
people want. This is the kind of a
Judge Hon. A. w. Campbell has
proven himself. This is the kind of
a Judge Mr.. Wells would not be, if
he should keep the promises made
in his letter.
Which of the two do you want for
Judge =? Decide and vote.

attention to the necessity of having
an honest Judiciary. In this opinion
we fully agree but if Mr..
Wells keeps the promises made by
him in this letter he cannot possibly
be, if elected, an honest, impartial
Judge.
He claims to be a farmer, presum-
ably for the purpose of trying to
influence the votes of the farmers Of
the circuit, and on the strength of
being a farmer, promises, if elected,
to favor "Those who toll with their
hands,"
If Mr.. Wells is a capable lawyer,
he certainly has not time to devote
to tilling the soil or to anything else
outside of his profession. A man
who aspires to be a capable lawyer,
one fit to be a judge,-must of
necessity use all of his time in keep
ing posted in the law. The body of
the law is so great hat a man can
scarcely hope to acquire a thorough
knowledge of it unless he continues
to study it during his whole lifetime.
He cannot be both a capable lawyer
and a farmer at the same time anv
o than he a be a capable law
yer and a good doctor at the same
time.
On the other land, if Mr.. Wells is
SO poor a lawyer that he is obliged
make his living by farming, he GER
taiply is not competent to fill the
important Office of Judge of the cir
cult court.
This practice of trying to work
the farmers by claiming to be a
farmer is too old a trick to deceive
any sensible man, and too mean a
trick to be resorted to by any honor
able man.
Mr.. Wells ~proclaims that, if elect
ed, he will not be an impartial
judge,--he promises to favor certain

For Judge.

Mike Bierschbach should be elect
ed county commissioner because he
is an honest, conscientious and fair
minded man who would not be a
tool in the hands of anyone. He is
not governed by prejudice. He
would treat all classes of people
alike and give every mans business
with the county his careful and I'M
biased consideration. He would not
vote to raise his neighbours assess
ment out of spite or because he
differed with him in politics. He is
not that kind of a man. His neigh
bors and those that know him best
recognize all these qualities and are
supporting him to a man, regardless
of politics. They will also vote fol
ne'ghbor Bierschbach because they
regard him as the very man to cleo,
on the county board at this time.

AT0 DEFENSE


The editor Of the World seems
to think the republicans of this
judicial circuit are running a bluff
because they have written nothing
defending their candidate for Judge.
He says" No line have they written
in defense of their candidate The
republicans of this judicial circuit
have a candidate who is not in need
Of any defending. The honest, just
and conscientious judicial work and
actions Of A. w. Campbell during
the past eight years while he has
been upon the bench are well-known
to the people Of this circuit. No
charge of any dishonest, unjust,
illegal or unconscientious act or
thing has eve been made or even
claimed against him. Therefore, be
needs no defending. The people
know just what kind of a man they
have on the bench now.
1t is the obscure, nnheard-of can
didate, without reputation as a law
yer or judicial ability, who seeks to
get yotes by exciting prejudice,
and making rank promises to this
class and to that class, and who says
to this man and to that man, "If /
am elected, | will remember you,"
who is in need of defense. That is
the sort of candidate of whom the
voter should be justly suspicious.
The candidate who has a printed
circular letter which he sends u
TO certain classes of voters, telling
them, without qualification, hal if
elected he will remember :hen, in
dicates very plainly that that candi-
date seeks to trade or sell his honor
for votes. Yes, he actually wants
to sell or pledge his future decisions
for votes. He certainly is the fellow
who stands in need of defending.
The World and the rest Of the
populist newspaper-howlers of this
circuit all say, "We want an honest
Judiciary in this circuit" thus infer
entially saying that A. w. Camp
bell is not honest, Yet, not one
dishonest act or thing do they accuse
him of. L, is simply a dirty, mean,
under-handed way of throwing mud
at a good man.

"Shall the board of county COM
missioners of Day county build a
vault for the use of the county treas
urer and auditor offices at an ex-
pense not to exceed $500 ?" This
is a proposition which the electors
are called to pass upon next Tues
day, and is one which should receive
an affirmative vote. The present
vault is altogethe r too small for the
requirements of the different offices,
and a new vault is an absolute me-
cessity for the proper protection of
the county records. At present,
none of the valuable records OF the
auditors office and many Of the
t%reasurer's Office are kept out of the
vault for want of room and are thus
exposed to the danger of fire or
thieves. 1t is a plain business prop
osition that steps be taken to prop
erly guard these records. Their loss
would be inestimable and it is the
duty of every citizen to record his
vote in favor of this needed inn
provement, especially when it can
be done at such a triaing cost. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
