Moss and Kurtz at BIackfOof.

court house on the political issues and
Idaho's interest, Monday evening. Mr..
Moss dwelt upon the possibilities OF our
state and the lack OF attention in giving
TO the Inside world more complete

remarks were entirely free from any
attacks upon any one and In this re-
spect he differs from other speakers
who have spoken in the interests OF the

OF oratory and at times scrapped the

Not single senator who has
spoken against the ratification of the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
has presented a convincing argument
against annexation; consequently
those senators who were for time in
doubt have nearly all announced their
intention to vote for annexation, and
the ratification of the treaty is now
assured when vote is taken. Know
ing this, Senator Davis who, as chair
man of the committee on foreign rela-
tions, has charge of the treaty, is pa
tiently waiting until its opponents
have been given an opportunity. to
say their say before taking any steps
to force a vote. President Dole has
started for home, but he will make
several stops on his way to San Fran
cisco, from which port he expects to
sail on or about the 22d inst. Every
effort to get him to talk about the
pending annexation treaty for publ
cation Failed, owing to his correct
ideas of propriety. During his stay
in Washington, Mr.. Dole proved him
self to be gentleman, scholar and
statesman, whom every patriotic
American will be glad to welcome as
a fellow citizen.

The old man who looks out at the world with
clear and healthy eyes cannot help feeling great
qualification 1T the thought that his children
have inherited from him no weakness nor ten
dency to disease. The healthy Old man is the
man who has throughout his life kept his tises-
ton good and his blood pure. Not one in Il
thousand does do it. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let them once
find Judgment or let them find weak spot they
will develop by the million and the blood will
BE- full of them. Instead of giving strength to
the tissues, it will force upon them innutrtious
matter, and the man will lose flesh and the more
susceptible he is to disease. DR.. Pieree's
Golden Medical Discovery is the only medicine
Enthusiastically and infallibiy cures all blood
diseases, and almost all diseases are blood dis
eases. 1t isn't medicine for some one partic-
uar so called disease. 1t is medicine for the
achote body. 1t forces out all the germs of dis
ease, and replaces impurities with rich, red
blood.

course ever since he came to the
White House has been one which the
public has commended, beginning
with steps which resulted in the
prompt release of all American pris-
oners in Spanish prisons in Cuba, fol-
lowing with demands upon the Span
ish government for cessation of the
cruelties in Cuba, resulting in the
proposals for autonomy, now being
tested. Should that prove unsuccess-
full there is good reason to believe
that further action, equally satisfac-
tory to the people of the United
States, will be taken by the President
and his cabinet. And this fact is lead
ing large majority of the people of
the United States, irrespective of
party, to public and vigorous con-
demnation of the course of the demo-
cratic members of the house of rep
resentatives who have recently in
sisted upon an attempt to force upon
the President line of policy different
from that which he has so success
fully pursued up to this time.

MuniciDal Affairs.

Four weeks Monday, March
THE citizens of Ellsworth will again
be called upon to cast their votes for
a new board of municipal officers.
In contemplating this action, regard
should be had for the manner in
which the present board has admins
tered the affairs of the city. Next
Monday is settling day, and until then
exact figures cannot be given, but
enough is known to make any general
statement reasonably accurate.
At the beginning of the municipal
year the incoming board found out
standing orders unpaid amounting to
nearly IS, 700, and unpaid bills amount
ing to about as much more. Money
enough to settle these accounts was
borrowed, and then the board went
vigorously to work not only to carry
on the public improvements begun by
the preceding board, but also to start
upon new ones.
In all this due regard was had to the
financial condition of the city, its
large Indebtedness and the hard
times. in making appropriations
good judgment was shown, and
throughout the year good judgment
in spending the public money has
also been shown. The result-speak
ing in a general way and without
81
close of the municipal year, all the
borrowed money to within, say,
81, 900 has been paid, few, if any, of
the various appropriations have been
overdrawn, and of unpaid taxes
quite enough will probably be col
lected this week to meet orders at
present outstanding.
Thus it is safe to say that the city's
financial condition is quite as good as
it was year ago, and we have large
permanent public improvements
besides.
Although nominally republican
administration, the board has
throughout the year been strikingly
free from partizanship. On all ques-
tions of consequence the board has
been unit, and harmony of action
has been strikingly conspicuous.
The work of the present board is
worthy of recognition and hearty APP
proval, and we venture to say that
the best method of showing approval
is for the voters TO re elect this board
for another term. The various men,
bers-from the mayor down-have
one and all been energetic and faith
full, and we urge: first, that every
man of them stands for reelection;
and, second, that their fellow citizens
turn to and continue them in the Of
fees that they have filled with such
conspicuous fidelity and ability.

The Library Building.

Through an item put in circulation
by some misinformed or irresponsible
newspaper correspondent to the eff
feet that Ellsworth might vote down
the question of accepting the public
library building so generously donated
by George n. Black, the papers of the
State have been condoling with Els
worth because of the short sighted
ness of her citizens, which is inferred
from the item. The Waterville Mail,
speaking as the representative of
city which once allowed a $1,000 gift
to slip through its fingers, offers
kindly advice 10 Ellsworth not to do
likewise.
Dear brother editors, in behalf of
the city of Ellsworth, we thank you
all most heartily for your kind solicit
tations, but really there is no cause
for alarm. Ellsworth will not record
one rote against accepting the library.
The city government, by the power
vested in it by the city charter, has
accepted the munifcent gift from Mr..
Black, has rendered him its thanks
and appreciation couched in appro-
pirate language, and has formally
taken possession of the building.
But even had it been found neces
sary to vote on the question of &C.
cepting the building, it is reflection
on the intelligence and enlightenment
of the citizens of Ellsworth to enter
tain, even for one moment, the
thought that it would be rejected.
Gentlemen, you owe US an apology.
