NEW SCHEME.
Boston Man Urges Cooper
ative Plan for Marlboro.

Marlboro, Dec. TO- 49, L. A. Touchet of
Boston was in conference with the eXecu-
tive committee OF the joint council this
evening, and made proposition to erect
factory that would employ from $500 to
1900 people. Mr. Touchet said that tho
proposition is backed by $4,000 at least.
The general scheme, Mr.. Touchet said
was on the cooperative basis, and he eX-
planned the feasibility of the idea, lie
said that the employees would receive
union wages.
The employees would be asked. how
ever to contribute a specified proportion
Of their wages to be expended IN Lhe cree
ton of other factories.
The committee seemed ito look upon the
scheme with considerable favor, and Will
further consider the matter In the
meantime the committee will attempt to
get q price on the big shops of Boyd x
Corey, and 1T is likely that some speclsc
plans will develop by next Week
The failure of the Boyd & Corey Boot
and Shoe Company of Augusta created no
special surprise in Marlboro. The firm
moved from this city about year ago
Before leaving here the concern asked for
a big reduction in the wages of its en-
ployees, which was not granted. me
concern at one time did a big business in
Marlboro, but since Samuel Boyd died IN
1892, did not do as much manufacturing as
Formerly. The Marlboro factory which
is one of the largest in the country has
Iheen unoccupied since the removal of the
business to Augusta. When the concern
moved to Maine it was incorporated I'M
der the laws Of that state.

ALL MUSIC.
Mr.. Hanson

NEW VERDI MUSIC,
Victor Herbert's Hard Time
in Pittsburg.

Those who witnessed the performance
of Mr.. Hanson's opera at the Worcester
Theatre, last week, must have been
impressed with his intimate acquaint-
ance with the repertoire of romantic
opera. There was evidence here of the
catholicity of his taste. He well knew
the scores of Verdi, Flotow, suppe and
Balfe, not to mention both larger and
lesser lights,
But Mr.. Hanson did not go strong on

as a follower of the sage of Bayfeuth
He has not lost his love for the Ola
Italian school. He believes in having
melody, and lots Of it. He would nave
melody wherever he can get It, Inc

Mr.. Hanson is rather proud OF the
fact that he is a self-taught composer,
and all mankind are proud Of what
they have achieved by their own Ell
forts. But he has not confined ms
studies to the operate field. He has
browsed in the vocal and the lnstru-
mental pastures. One may learn

Did you, or your father or your grand

Prayer?" William B. Bradbury wrote
that and sang it. In 1854 he began to
make the now celebrated Bradbury
pianos. Mr.. Smith became his sole sue.
cessor.
Mr.. Brsdbury's hobby was clear
pure singing tone. Its rare singing
qualities made the Bradbury famous.
This was why Mrs. Grant lulled Nellie
to sleep to Bradbury music, and why
Mrs. Grover Cleveland did the same
with little Ruth, and why all presidents
between Grant and Harrison-Hayes
Garfield, Arthur and Cleveland-insist-
ed upon having their own Bradbury
pianos placed in the White House. And
why 80 many of the worlds greatest
singers require Bradbury for concert
work.
To close out several bankrupt retail
dealers stocks of Bradbury pianos
thrown on our hands only partly paid

pianos at price below our wholesale

The South Bend Times thinks
that the democratic party's alliance
with populism has been expensive
to the party because it has lost Uni
ted States senators in the northern
states. 1t may look that way to
those whose observation only ex-
tends to the end of the nose. A
temporary loss of the senate will
only tend to bring an ultimate vic
tory for free coinage sooner than il
the gold standard party had been
hindered by hostile upper house
1t is real amusing to hear these dem
ocratic editors, whose hearts never
were with the party since the Chi
cago platform was drafted, trying to
convince themselves that the free
silver issue has been disastrous and
that it is very dead. 1t is because
free silver is not dead that they are

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1898.
A PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

Both parties in their platforms
declared that a law for the regula-
ton of the primaries is necessary,
and pledged themselves to insure its
enactment. The primary under the
present practice, is unsatisfactory
Liable to abuse, it has been abused.
Open to fraud is the first resort. In
both parties thousands who should
attend the primary no longer attend,
because in sharp contests, those
meetings are too much like mobs.
Men who will not vote for the can
didate nominated are easily induced
to go to the primaries and help to
nominate. In other ways the pri-
mary, as now conducted, is the weak
spot in our system of elections, for
the reason that one of the other of
the sets of candidates nominated will
be elected, so that those who vote a
ticket at an election simply ratIfy
the work which is done hurriedly
and thoughtlessly at best. Therefore,
1t is as important that the law should
regulate the primary as well as the
selection which will ratify the work
of one or the other set of primar-
les. indianapolis Journal.
