NAV exhibi. a Liyelier Interest.

It is thought that the course Oh sew
eral of the silver men in the House IN
refusing to vote upon the tariff Dill VIII
be followed by their allies in the Sen
ate. This at first might seem consistent
with their declaration that the tariil
has nothing to do with the depression
of business throughout the country
which they attribute wholly to the need
of so cent dollars, but it is significant 10
note that Mr.. Bryan in a recent speech
took especial pains to assail the prln-
cipal Of protection and left his hearers
with the impression that IL he should
have the say in 1900 he would make
free trade and free silver the two lead

years ago, graduated from Colby, Their
Waterville college, q years later. He
studied law but entered upon the pro-
fession of teaching, being at the out

most aggressive leaders of the Republi-

The Cuban Resolution.

The Senate controversy over CUBA,
Monday, may be credited to honesty Oh
purpose on the part of all or practically
all of those who participated in it. IL
is rather late in the day ana 1here
have been too many flurries over CUBA
for one like this to excite any great
amount of popularity or popular con
demration and it seems almost I'M"
probable that desire for little person
al political gain entered largely into the
consideration Those who favored the
resolution undoubtedly sympathize
with the insurgents and it is not dim
cult to believe that most of those VINO
opposed it are of the same mind. Thelr
opposition was based upon their judg-
ment rather than upon their SYM
pathies They did not think the matter
in such form as to call for such an
expression of sentiment. The others
did and it seems probable the resolu-
ton may have on the whole bene-
fetal effect. Unquestionably it will
irritate Spain but on the other hand,
despite this feeling or irritation, she
will hesitate to defy it. Indeed it is
doubtful if she would have dared to
shoot Rivera anyway but if she be
wayering between the desire to kill an
enemy and fear of the effect of such
action the Senate resolution will weigh
with the latter. Spain may have
technical right to kill Rivera but it
would be an atrocity that would be
condemned by every civilized nation.
Those disposed to criticise the Senate
nevertheless forced to admit that the
condition of affairs in Cuba is a most
disgraceful one: that too many proofs
of the relentless ferocity of the Span
iards are at hand 10 doubt the worst;
that to oppression. treachery. incom-
petcrcy and utter disregard of justice
on the part of Spain is due the awful,
pitiable state which Cuba is in Well
may men, who feel that their words
and attitude toward the matter may
prolcng or shorten the distress and
disaster feel keenly their position and
be impatient OF inaction.

Can | Heal The Breach.

While the Impression, that the pro-
posed greater New York should it be-
come a fact would be destined to be-
come Tammany's Inheritance, has been
gaining ground the strain to which that
political machine has lately been sub
jected is beginning to tell upon it.
The detection CT Purroy was not the
most alarming manifestation that
troubled Dick Croker last winter and
caused him to postpone his active par
tieipation in Tammany's management
1t was the breach between the sound
money faction and those who turned
the influence over to the Bryanites
last November. Of course Tammany
as an organization has no views on the
monetary question or any other legiti-
mate political question before the pub
lie. Spells is the subject uppermost
with the organization itself, but
fortunately there are men within its
ranks that DO entertain cOnNlCIlOilS re-
specting other matters. Some of them
are socialistic in their tendencies while
others are as far the other way. Both
are needed for the success of the order.
Both are insistent and the hope that
they might finally be induced to lie
down with one another beside the feed
trough lacks much of realization.
When sub Boss Sheehan gave sound
money men places on committees after
the disaster that overlook Organism
the radical elements showed signs of
revolt. This has become more pro-
nounced and just as the chickering's of
Republicans in that city seem to offer
special inducements for Tammany to
get together and win Tammany finds
the task growing more and more diff
cult. The hope of good government in
the metropolis is not yet dead.

There is a feeling of insurrectior
among the old teachers in Bath at the
purpose of the school board to require
them to pass an examination as we'll a.
the candidates for positions. They
argue with reason that having demon
strated their ability to teach it is I'M
just to now subject them to an ex-
animation. The probability is that tho
board believes some of the old teachers
have not demonstrated their ability T.
do what is wanted Of them, or thar
they need to brush up, and have
adopted this indirect method of get
ting at them and at the same tim
avoid the responsibility and criticism
they might incur by going at the mat
ter in more direct way.

line of business helps another and this
enlargement of the college should be
rendered certain. along with many
other steps of progress that are to place
Waterville far ahead of where she now
stands. Waterville ought to be able
within the next ten years to take her
place as the fourth city in Maine in re-
gard to business and population and
she can do this if all her citizens will
do their part in helping to secure this
pr0ut position

By the Governor.
BYRON BOYD,
Secretary Of State.
Appointment Of General Conner.

President McKnley's appointment Of
Gen. Selden Conner as L. S. pension
agent for the State of Maine is one Of
the most worthy that he has made or
can make. All, including those who
may have had aspirations to the same
position, recognize Gen. Connor's
eminent qualifications for the place
and that the appointment is a fitting
during the War of the Rebellion, when
he was so seriously wounded that from
that time to this he has not been free
from its effects and occasional intense
suffering Within comparatively
short time, since his appointment as
adjutant general of the State, he was
brought so low by the outbreak of the
wound received in the battle of the
Wilderness that his life was despaired
of and for long weeks he lay at the
point of death. Since the war in which
he took such brave and conspicuous
part he has had distinguished career.
He was twice reelected as Governor of
the State, an office which he filled with
the highest credit He was appointed
by President Arthur in 1882 to the same
office to which President Mckinley has
appointed him and it is well known Of
all in any way acquainted with that
hot l,ts I'D, ct IN
ton the department was brought to the
highest grade of efficiency. What he
has accomplished in the Office of adju
tant general of the State for the past
four years is too we'll known to require
comment. The rank and file of the
militia as well as the officers under
stand how untiringly and wisely he has
labored to promote the efficiency of the
National Guard of this State. Gen.
Conner is a man of spotless integrity
which together with his marked
abilities has been put to the test in
various public stations. He will per-
form the duties of the office of pension
agent with the fidelity and great
ability so characteristic of his public
career.
This appointment of Gen. Conner as
pension agent is regarded in this city
as assurance that the pension office will
remain here, where it belongs and from
whence the last administration would
not have thought of taking it but for
the desire of Secretary Francis to
grind a political axe out in his part of
the country, if reliance may be had in
a report that has not been denied. Be
that as it may it has been conclusively
shown that the proposition was an
absurd one on any pretext yet adj
vanced for making the change. Indeed
1t is question whether it would not be
more rather than less expensive to con-
solidate at Boston. The pension office
in this city has excellent quarters es-
pecially designed for the purpose and
rent free, rooms that the government
would not otherwise use. The reten-
ton Of the office here is the only prac-
teal thing to do and no one questions
but that it will be retained.

WINTHROP.


A special town meeting was held
here. Saturday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of reconsidering vote taken at
the regular March meeting whereby
the road commissioner was limited to
$3.50 per day for each team of horses
and driver working from January l to
July /: and $2.75 per day from July ]
to January /. Rarely have the regular
town meetings been more fully at
tended than was this, and the interest
was intense. After long and somewhat
heated debate it was voted to rescind
the vote thus limiting the pay for men
and horses. Four dollars and a half
per day the year around is the sum
which the town has been charged in
years past. and by many it was argued
that other towns have hired the Same
work done for $3.50 per day, or abou.
that, by men who had proved them
selves fully capable of doing the work:
one of whom was Frank Corthell of
Winthrop, who could be engaged to
take charge of Winthrop roads at that
price. The vote was turned, however,
largely by remarks made by Mr.. L. T,
Carleton, who plead eloquently for
Commissioner Gale, dwelling on his
past work for the town. The point
also was effectively urged that farmers
could not be prevailed upon to turn out
in winter to break snow at the price for
