Important Appointments.

Governor Powers, Wednesday evening,
nominated Col. William H. Fogler of
Rockland for associate Justice of the
supreme judicial court to succeed Judge
Enoch Foster.
Col. Fogler is a lawyer of extensive
practice, thoroughly equipped for the
high place for which he is named. He
is 81 years of age, served in the war in
10th Maine Vols, rising by promotion
from captaincy to colonel. He was
for several years county attorney of
Waldo county, served as mayor of the
city of Belfast, and is now member of
the House of Representatives from the
city of Rockland and of the judiciary
committee of that body.
Governor Powers also re-nominated
Hon. Thomas Fl. Haskell as associate
Justice of the supreme court, Hon. A. G..
Andrews, Judge of The municipal court
of Augusta, and Joseph T. Young of
Augusta, commissioner of pharmacy.
The question is frequently raised
whether we shall have war with Spain.
Our answer thus far has been we believe
there will not be. The wish may have
something to do with the thought as we
do earnestly hope war may be averted
from our fair land for thousand years.
We cannot see what good war with
Spain can do US. The sinking of war
ships on either side, the bombardment of
cities with destruction of merchant yes.
sells belonging to the enemy and the loss
of even a few thousand lives are not
pleasant things to contemplate, and they
really do no good to anyone. After a
years fighting with enormous expense
and great loss of life the issues between
the two countries would have to be set
tied by conference or arbitation. Indi-
cations at present are that Spain don't
want to fight the u. S., and the U. s.
surely don't want to fight Spain. We
may know more about the probabilities
of war when the Court of Inquiry on the
Maine renders its verdict, but that will
not be likely to come this week, and
conditions may be greatly changed when
it is made public. In the meantime the
preparation for defense of our seaports
and cities progresses and our army and
navy are being rapidly put in effective
condition for peace with honor if posi-
bic, If not for war.

The Spanish government mildly re-
monstrates to the State department at
Washington, concerning the assembling
of large fleet of American war ships at
Key West and extensive war prepara-
tions being made, that these are likely to
have an unfavorable influence upon the
approaching elections in Cuba. This is
not technical protest being lacking in
tangible accusation, and has not called

cieties and institutions in multitude OF
ways. This is entirely wrong. 1t is OF
vital Importance to any live town of the
size of Pittsfield that it should have a
progressive, reliable paper, and town
officers as well as business men should
stand by such paper and give it their
business. A local paper necessarily con-
tributes columns for the benefit of town
industries, societies, churches, schools,
etc., free, and these things should be
taken into account when any one con.
nected with these organizations has
any favors to bestow In way of business.
1t is by no means a fair "shake" for
towns or societies in q town like Pitts
field to get their free advertising at the
Office of the local paper and then carry
their job work to other places.

By all means the hardest and most
heart rending phase of the situation in
Cuba is the destitution and misery OF
Cuban people who are dying by thous.
ands in the principal cities, of starvation
and exposure. Spain has done something
to alleviate this suffering but she Is re-
sponsible for 1t. The government and
the people OF the United States have
done and are doing more, but the nations
of Europe and America ought to take
hold of this matter and stop it. Spain
has thoroughly demonstrated her in
capacity to govern Cuba or take care OF
her people and she ought to evacuate the
island or stop the wholesale destruction
of these women and children, "reconcen.
tradoes" shut up In fortified cities while
many in the country regions are not

A Forerunner Of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
Of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling Of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only question of q short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.
