were, as usual, mistaken. In speech
recently delivered at Philadelphia, at the
annual meeting of the Trades League, he
said upon this subject; ''The political
head of the Republican party has been
active to secure bimetallism under the
only conditions by which it can be main
tanned; namely, international agreement
with open minis to both silver and gold.
In his efforts to inaugurate such method
the President heartily supports the prln-
clples of his party's platform, and in his
efforts he has the support of all the mem
bers of his official family, innuendoes and
declarations from various sources to the
contrary notwithstanding. Until it can
be secured in this rational manner, we
propose to maintain the kind of bimetal-
lism we have now. under which five hun
dred millions or more of silver are kept on
a parity with gold. Under this standard
practically for sixty years and according
to the Democratic candidates admission
for twenty seven years by statute law, this
country has developed and tlourished as
no other country has"

TeIFthe Old Folks.

! BE sure and tell the old folks all your
to them now as when you went to them
with all your little troubles. How soon a
pitying word or kiss would stop the tears
from falling. In childhood, when the
first symptoms of illness were noticed,
how ready they were to do just what
ought to be done, and nurse you with
loving care They tried to rear you in
the path of virtue; and give you privileges
that perhaps they had not enjoyed.
After You had reached mature years
and left the parental roof, how much
sollcitude they had for you; for they knew
that young people away from home Were
apt to he surrounded by temptation, and
needed well rooted and grounded princi
pies to keep them in the straight and mar
row path
After You selected a life partner, how
pleased they were to know that you had
found one who was congenial As the
years rolled by they welcomed the little
grandchildren t o their home. 1t rejoiced
their hearts to know that their labors for
your welfare were crowned with success.
How often their prayers assembled to
heaven in your behalf. You have reason
to thank God for praying parents.
An explorer on the dark continent said
that if it had not been for the prayers of a
gray haired woman, on the western con-
, tinent he should have been lost
Now after all their toll and anxiety
you have an opportunity to repay them in
part for their loving kindness. 1t is not
in your power to repay the whole debt.
When the cold damps of death gather on
their brow, what a solace it will be to you,
to know that you have tried to smooth
their pathway to the tomb.
''Re sure to tell the old folks
| OF every hope and fear;
Their hearts are He'd with longing
For those they love dear.
just tell them all your troubles,
| For years and years ago
They listened to your story
! OF every childish woe.
'Be sure you tell the cid folks,
How bright will seem their lot.
1t makes their Old hearts happy
TO know they re not forgot.
| Don't trust your gay companions
With any of your cares,
But tell the loving old folks,
Who understand your prayers.
''Be sure to tell the old folks,
You cannot keep them long.
They're growing old and feeble,
But still their hearts are strong.
They love you dear as ever;
And when their lives are DER,
You'll long to see the old folks,
You'll wish you'd loved them more"

At the meeting in Portland last week
the Maine Press Association adopted the
following resolution:

At the meeting in Portland last week
the Maine Press Association adopted the
following resolution,
Resolved, That the Maine Press Associa-
tiou Joins with other similar associations
tiroug hout the country, in disappearing the
so-,,alled Loud hill now pending III Congress,
hejieving that in its present draft, this
measure 10 subverslNe OF the interests OF
newspaper publishers and imposes upon
them unjust and lutqulJdbit burdens.
AS before stated this bill would be ruin
Gus to the country newspaper, and is, as
W. believe, detrimental to the public in
teiest. For example:
1t virtually establishes press cen
soiship.
1t does away with the sample copy
privilege. This means much to every
newspaper office.
3 Ii gives to the postmasters unlimit-
ed authority in deciding as to who are
bona fide subscribers to paper. Any
one can readily see to what abuses this
questionable privilege would inevitably
lead
The bill proposes to tax the people
of the country to make up deficit due
to extravagant management of the post
office department, and the abuse of the
frauking privilege by senators and
representatives who send out tons and
tons of campaign matter at the Govern
meuts expense-matter which no one
cares to receive and which is utterly
worthless from any point OF view.
S 1t gives to the party in power the
privilege to deny second class mail rates
to any paper for motives political or other
vitae.

la reply to some untavorable comment
on the Gloucester schooners that have
sailed for the klondike via Cape Horn,
Horatio Babson OF Boston writes an inter
esting letter to The Marine journal, New
York MI Babson has had thirty years
experience with this class of vessels, has
owned 81 of them, and has sent four
around the HOIn-in 1868, 1869 and 1878,
two sailing III ne latte, year. They were
all deeply loaded, and their respective
passages, were l4o, 125, 131 and 131 days.
An arrived at San Francisco in good
order, meeting with no disaster, and large
clipper ships which sailed from Atlantic
,ctts about the same did not make as
good passages as did these small vessels.
MIR Babson concludes by saying:
That the little fleet of fifteen schooners,
witt, about two hundred honest, faithful
men on board OF them making their way
against all the elements of old ocean, will
arrive safely at their destination in good
order, and that all of the men on them
may reap snug little fortune, is the wish
of all who know them, and believe them
to be honest, faithful men. The vessels
are without question well fitted, have all
the provisions and outfits required to
make the voyage, and enough to last
them (barring accidents) for months after
arrival.

Feb. ,, a. m. Snow ceased to fall last
evening and the moon shone brightly on
the untrodden snow. This morning the
sun made welcome appearance, and
soon the trckling drops of water on
southern exposures attested its growing
strength, an indication also that winter
will soon be on the wane. Shovelers
were busy everywhere, but the snow
blockade was only partially raised. Teams
were more frequent but made their way
slowly through the deep snow Howes'
grocery team went by with ''Rollo'' fol-
lowing behind, and with his short legs he
seemed to be swimming in the snow. No

Showed In.

TUESDAY, Feb. l, 1898. 1t had been
abundantly demonstrated that this is ian
old fashioned winter but the storm
which began yesterday bids fair to break
! the record and to have no parallel back to
| the DAYS when loaded teams drove under
snow arches and the sidewalks formed the
base of tunnels. There was an abund-
/ ance of snow before this storm began,
/ uecessitating the breaking out of roads.
! All day yesterday the snow fell steadily,
| but without appearing to add appreclably
to the accumulation. AT p. m. it was
still showing, but during the night the
ing around the buildings and snow swirl
ing against the windows. This morning
dawned upon a snow blockade. In the
home port to which the writer was con-
fined the snow was nearly up to the mid
die sash Of the first story windows, and
egress by the doors was impossible. Be
| tween the house and the road were drifts
five feet deep, with snow still falling and
the wind still heaping it up. At noon
the roads had not been broken; but occa-
sionally man could be seen wading and
wallowing downward through the snow,
and milk team passed up the street in
full view of many milkless families.
In the early morning the whistle had
shrieked ''No school, no school," and
as near as one could Judge from peering
over the tops of the huge snow drifts
there was general suspension of business.
But copy was wanted at the office.
and in the afternoon an hours work with
snow shovel brought release and an OPP
portunity to traverse streets unbroken
save by the passage of an occasional
pedestrian Most of The Journals force
had been collected by one of the Belfast
Livery Co. S teams and brought to the
office, where business was proceeding as
usual, but with an unusual stringency in
the copy market. There were no mails, of
course, NO county correspondence to run
through the hopper, and no exchanges on
which to ply the scissors. And still it
