ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.

Careless Handling of Firearms by
Boys Probable Cause of Accident.
| Walter Gray, OF North Ellsworth, aged
about ten years, narrowly escaped death
by a rifle bullet Saturday afternoon. As
it is he is suffering from bullet wound
between his shoulder blades and near his
spinal column and bullet is hidden
away somewh here in his body. Though
not dangerous in itself the wound may
result in serious complications. DR.. Hag-
erthy, of Ellsworth, probed for the bull
let, but failed to locate it.
Conflicting st cries have been told as to
how the accident happened. The story
the relatives Of the boy profess to believe
attributes the shooting to some hunter
who mstook him for deer, and then
ran away to escape the consequences Of
his carelessness. This story entirely ig
nores one very important fact: The
injured boy WAS out hunting with his
brother Winfield, aged thirteen, who had
a rifle.
The boys themselves tell conflicting
stories, but sifted down it is believed
that Winfield was shooting at snipe
when the bullet glanced and struck
Walter. Winfield has been out hunting
almost daily with his rifle, and has been
repeatedly warned by neighbors about
his careless shooting.
The boys are the sons OF Mrs. James
Gray, OF Bangor.

About fifty able bodied men in the
city have escaped paying poll tax
for the past five years under the
exemption naming them active
firemen. The city should demand
Of these a certain amount of drill
with the fire apparatus to enable
them TO become efficient and rapid
in handling the same and save time
aud waste Of energy. The organi
zation should have q recognized
head whose authority in case of
FIRE should be unquestioned.
While high credit is due to those
who helped with the apparatus in
the recent FIRE; even the most
casual onlooker must have observed
that the work was done with a lack
of management and loss Of energy
that would have been avoided had
the FIRE department been in more
active training. Since the city
gives up part Of its income to en-.
courage an active fire department
it has right to demand organiza-
ton and training.

In support Of the fact that the
new tariff is an American tariff for
Americans we need but cite the
fact that foreign nations are raising
serious objections to its operation.
The German newspapers continue
to discuss the new tariff and call
for reprisals, but there will be no
reprisais, TOR Germany finds that
American imports of brcadstuffs
as we'll as cotton and other raw
materials are indispensable to her
industries. By handling our raw
materials Germany has become a
dangerous rival to England in the
line Of manufacturing. Germany
has followed America, too. in tho
policy of a protective tariff and her
standing in Europe today is due to
the influence of that policy. Both
Germany and England will feel
the results OF the new tariff. Under
the Wilson German tariff they
commanded the American markets
10 the exclusion OF our own pro-
ducts. The new tariff gives Ameri'
cans the preference and will star,
the mills for the employment Of
home industry. Industrial distress
is reported already in certain man.

all modern deniberats who wish to
follow Bryat, In his silver heresy
and yet swear by Jefferson that
thew are still Of the true faith.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Idaho Democrat, took occasion to
deny that Jefferson was the author
of the above quotation and called
the TELLER to task for the asser.
ton. but even the life long student
of the Sage Of Mohtecello must
have overlooked the discussion
in the Memoirs and Correspondence
edited by Thomas Jefferson Ran
dolph, published in 1899. On page
1873 of Volume /. he says, THE
proportion between the values of
gold aud silver is mercantile
problem, altogether" aud further
in the discussion, lust principles
will lead US to disregard legal pro:
portions altogether; to enquire into
the market price OF gold, in the
several countries with which we
shall principally be connected in
commerce. and to take an
average from Them" At that time,
as appears in the same notes, TIE
legal proportion in Spain was 16
for I; in England I5H for I; and
in France IS for !. These are the
legal proportions Jefferson wishes
disregarded to adapt the mercantile
ratio which at that time was 14H
for I.
Another point which will also
set hard with the Bryanites is the
recognition that Jefferson gives to
the fact that the metal overvalued
in the coinage ratio would remain
at home the other going abroad.
For this reason he says: II would
still incline to give a little more
than the market price for gold, be-
cause Oft, superior convenience
in transportation This is Jeffer
sonian democracy, Bryanism is o
a different sort.

One by one the objections to the
tariff bill are met aud answered by
it's supporters. We have heard
about favoring the sugar trust and
the democratic howl went up all
over the country. A little quiet
figuring, by the experts has dis
covered the fact that the average
tax on the various kinds of sugar
l. q third less under the present
law than it was under the Wilson
Gor,uan law Of 1894. In fact the
schedule is less favorable to the re-
6uers than any ever enacted before.
The trust has less protection under
the Dingley law than it ever had
under and previous enactment.
