Jack McGrath, pardoned by Gov.
Altgeld the other day, was a member of
the notorious Mortell-McGrath gang
that terrorized Chicago for years and
was serving a 25 years sentence for
burglary. A short time before the bur-
glary he had killed policeman and he
was known as a thug that never hest
tated to shoot. He had never been
known to do days work since he was
a child. A police officer of that city
said of him on hearing of the pardon,
He has killed at least three men in
this town and has committed burglaries
without number since he was able to
carry a gun. His return to chicago is
n menace to the community" 1t is by
pardoning such as he that Gov. Altgeld
obtained political power, and by the
same methods he hopes to retain it in
a city with a criminal element very
large and influential in politics. Yet
had Mr.. Bryan been elected President
of the United States Gov. AltScld
would have been the power behind the
throne.

insurgents Retaliate.

1t is now said that Gen. Gomez has
decided to resort to retaliation in the
treatment of prisoners, and acting upon
this determination has put ia Spanish
prisoners to death. The report may
not be true but it seems plausible. OF
course it is to be regretted that he has
done this, or rather that he has been
forced to do it, for that view of it seems
to be fair one. The war in Cuba has
been in existence almost TWO years.
During that time there has been moth
treat the prisoners Of war humanely.
All the while, however, the Spanish
were engaged in shooting such as may
have been saved from the brutality of
the Spanish sOldiery at the time they
were captured. When Gomez was feed
ing Spanish prisoners from out his
scanty rations Spain threw Cubans
into living tombs from which they only
came forth to be shot at daybreak.
Probably the assassination of his son
and Maceo has had something to do in
Fastening the decision of the insurgent
general to retaliate. Be that as it may
the insurgents, from all reports authen-
ticated, have conducted the war upon
civilized rules and methods of warfare.
The Spanish have not. Weylers etiicts
prove that. Now what the Spanish
may do in the way of increased cruelty
can only be inferred. They cannot go
much further unless they put the
prisoners to torture before killing them.

HOME TESTIMONY.
Can Any be Stronger, Garry More Weight
Or be More Convincing Than Augusta Testi.

It's a matter of claim and proof.
Claim means what the manufacturer
says. Proof means what the people
say. It's just so with the doctor. Ask
him if he can cure sick kidneys? OF
course he can, but does he do it? It's
easier to tell you what's the matter
than to cure the trouble. They can
tell when the kidneys are over-taxed
but can you? Doan's Kidney Pills
know all about the kidneys and better
still they cure them. Kidneys filter the
blood; take out the poisons that injure
the blood and impair digestion. This
is not a theory but a fact backed by
home testimony, People have been
taking them and many kidneys are

So much ill health can be retraced to

This year Lewiston has collected $40
more in dog licenses than usual. though,
as a matter of fact. there are no more
dogs in town than usual. Over $500
was gathered in by the city clerk and
by the special dog officer. and the dog
officer only worked seven weeks. He
was paid 81 day for his services. II
is estimated that $1,000 ought to be COL
.ected for dog licenses in Lewiston,and
that if every dog owner paid his tax
it would amount to fully this sum.

One of the most interesting chapters
in the message deals with corporations,

sion upon the Legislature. In this
connection he calls attention to the act
of 1895 which gave. companies organt-
zed for the purpose of lighting cities
and towns and for many other pur-
poses a complete monopoly of the 10
calities their charters covered. This is
the act which the people of Portland
encountered when they undertook TO
make contract this winter for street
lighting. Governor Powers says that
the act escaped his observation when
it was passed. He thinks it should be
repealed. He approves of the act for
bidding electric railroads to. parallel
existing steam lines except with the
permission of the railroad commission
ers, which, it will readily be seen, has
a bearing on the Gorham case.

We had been given to suppose that
the Governor would urge the Legisla-
goes even further: he makes the definite
recommendation that the appropria-
lions be reduced s125,O00 per annum
from two years ago. This sets mar
row limits for the Legislature and is a
wet blanket at the start for various
enterprises seeking State aid. 1t is
obvious that if these projects are car
ried through. the appropriations must
be increased rather than cut down:

hard to expand the appropriation re-

With reference to the suggestion OF
the necessity of creating the office OF

that if this necessity exists the matter

in which we have no doubt the people

Clear and Comprehensive.
Bangor News.)

Governor Powers, in his inaugural
message, has presented to the Lcgis-
iature and to the citizens of the STATE,
a clear and comprehensive statement
Of the needs and conditions of our
commonwealth. The voter and tax
payer of Maine who does not read
every word OF it with thoughtful at
tention, will make a mistake, for in no
other way will he he able TO acquaint
himself so thoroughly with the tinan-
cal social. and political status of the
affairs of our State government. one
idea runs through the, message as the
keynote of the Governors recommen-
dations, and that is, economy-econ-
omy judiciously applied. Mr.. Powers
points out very clearly the fact that il
is easy to pass excessive appropria
tons, and provide for expenditures
not strictly necessary, and that such
A course inevitably leads to deficit
and increased taxation.
A feature of the message which Will
especially commend itself to the tax
paying public is the warning against
listening too readily to appeals for pri-
yatc legislation.
