Gorham for nearly fifty years, and has
been active and successful in his bust
ness, and has shown SO much ability and

constant work sufficient competency for
the demands of his advancing age. He
had been for sometime Jrustee OF the
Gorham Savings bank. He was formerly
Democrat, but an earnest and working
Republican since the first organization
of the party. He was a consistent mem

recurring to my old position Of en-
bracing every opportunity to sell the
new crop options,
Owing to the abnormally large re-

only decreased AL, 900 bushels. Re-
ccipts from the Northwest will again
be small. There is some talk about
prospects of late seeding.

men and the market is declining on
the theory that they will not pay for
the corn, but will sell it out and pay a

prevails in regard to provisions and we
hope they will break them so we can

LATEST KANSAS SCHEME.

CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO PUT A
TAX ON LARGE FORTUNES.
Topeka, Kan, April 4.-Ex-Lieut.
Gov. Percy Danfort has succeeded in
interesting most of the leading Demo
cratic Populist statesmen Of Kansas
in an Organiza tion, the object Of which
is to operate bureau Of information
concerning his scheme to tax inordin-
ate wealth and ultimately to secure
an amendment to the federal cnnst-
tuition giving Congress the power to
levy such tax. The names of those
who belong to the association follow:
Frank Doster, chief justice OF the SUI
preme court; S. II. Allen, associate
Justice Of the supreme court; David
Overmeyer. Democratic leader; j. NJ
Leedy, governor; William Strycker,
superintendent OF public instruction;
n. NJ. Harvey, lieutenant governor:
William Campbell, railroad commits
sioner; John Martin, exUnited States
d. II. Heffelbow, state treasurer; w.
e. Bush, secretary Of state; w. P. Dill
lard, commissioner: J. D Botkin, con-
gressman-elect; Jerry Simpson, con-
gressman-elect; w. A. PETER. ex-
United States senator. The organiza-
ton is now working on a plan to
arouse public interest all over the
country on this subject. The Kansas
Legislature took up the question at
its recent session, and adopted reso-
luton asking CangreSs to submit
proposition to amend the federal con-
stitution providing for tax on inor-
dinate wealth tG vote of the pepole.
The Legislatures Of all other states
will be asked to adopt similar resolu-
tions. The promoters of the idea do
not expect to accomplish the object
sought Immediately. but believe that
by proper management the people
might get chance at such PROPOSE
ton in 1870.
The correspondence throughout
various sections of the country is al.
ready enormous. The promoters of
this scheme look for local organiza-
tions to spring up throughout the ma
tion and make a national organization
that will sweep the country as the
Farmers Alliance did the West a few
years ago.

Il QUEER MOVE.

Williams college is, we believe, the
only institution of learning in this
country that doesn't want more stu
dents. The college has accommodations
for only three hundred students, but
the classes have been rapidly growing
OF late until the number has risen to
nearly four hundred. The consequent
inconvenience has been great, and as
a remedy the requisites for admission
have been materially raised, while con-
siderably less financial aid is to be
given to needy students. Admission to
the scientific course will hereafter be
even more carefully guarded than that
to the regular or classical department,
and among the qualifications demanded
will be an unusually thorough knowl-
edge Of both French and German liter
allure, languages now so essential for
a successful acquisition of the sciences.
This is queer move. Wouldn't it be
better to sell out the control of the COL
lege to some Millionaire and thus get
money enough to have big classes?

DOES ASPHALT CAUSE MALARIA F.?

DR.. e. w. Martin, chief inspector of
foods and offensive trades in New
York, says that asphalt pavements
cause malaria, This discovery hasn't
yet been made in New Haven, but II
is known that New Havens asphalt
pavement has caused an immense
amount of acrimonious discussion, a
complaint from the health officer, not
little suspicion, a bicycle policeman,
and vain regret among many who
thought it would make Orange street
still more like one of the streets of
Paradise than it was before the new
and costly pavement was put down.
If it should be discovered that the
malaria on Orange street is caused by
the asphalt pavement there will be
new woe and the opening of another
vial of wrath. A pavement of mo-
lasses, grass or pins wouldn't have
made any more trouble than our fine,
expensive and long-desired asphalt
pavement has made.
