Sundays Snow Storm.

Last Sundays storm. which was so severe
elsew here, brought large amount OF snow
accompanied by high wind that made all
kinds of out-of doors movements decidedly
uncomfortable As the wind was northeast
the sea did no damage here, although there
was very high tide and many OF the
wharves were submerged. The only
churches at which services were held were
the Congregationalist land there only in
the foreuoon) and the Methodist, forenoon
and evening. The latter meeting was ad-
dressed by Miss Nellie Thompson and the
audience comprised those who came out TO
attend that and other evening meetings
The next day travel was interfered with to
some extent, the snow being deeper and
more badly drifted few miles west of US.
The two Liberty stages did not arrive, and
the Freedom stage arrived SO late that it
did not return. The Stockton Springs
stage was two hours late in the morning.
but made its connection in the afternoon.
The other stages, though late, arrived in
season to make connections. A snow pillow
in charge of Conductor Buck and engineer
Coleman arrived from Burnham and clear
ed the track for the passenger trains, re-
turning after the train went out. They
found the drifts in the cuts quite deep and
compact. The snow fall could not be accu-
rately measured on account of it drifting,
but Is estimated at about u inches.
THE STORM ELSEWHERE.
At Rockland about six inches of snow fell.
The wind blew gale and the tide was one
of the highest known for long time In
the morning the waves washed over several
wharves and several of the lime sheds We're
in danger At the Gay shed on the point it
was necessary to move considerable lime,
while on the W hart the wood was washed
about. Several vessels which We're tied up
at the docks at the North end pounded bad

would 60 up on the wharves

The Loud blu is again before Congress.
II WAS "scotehed,' but not killed, in the
last Congress, 1t is aptly described as
tax on newspapers for the benefit of
railroads and express companies. 1t is
specially aimed at the country press, and
should it become law would be fatal to
many local newspapers The Turf, Farm
ana Home thinks that Maine publishers,
instead of trying to kill the bill, should
seek to modify it SO that it shall recognize
a difference between the publications that
are entitled to the present reasonable post
age rates and those that are not 1t says:
The Loud bill, or something akin to it
is sure to pass in the very near future
and 1t is much wiser to work for an in
teligent modification of it than to try to
overthrow it entirely. The bill as it's pro-
visions apply to rural weekles is practi-
cally prohibitary. This fact should be
clearly shown, for the small country
weekly needs help now more than ever,
pressed as it is by the more prosperous
dailies from the larger cities.
Our contemporary says further:
Three representatives to Congress from
this State are newspaper publishers and
they certainly ought to be as much inter-
ested in this matter as any of us, but it
does not seem as though they realized
the danger of such a law as the Loud bill
promises to give us.
AS to the Representative from this dis
trict we are sure that in him the country
newspaper will find an earnest champion,
nd we believe that if the attention of the
Congressman from the 4th district is call
ed to it he will not be found wanting.

IT is thought Il az there will now be a
vigorous effort III Congress &c procure the
enactment OF some currency legislation. In
view Of the contested seat ir the Senate
from Oregon, it is some what uncertain
as to whether the Republicans will be
able to control the Senate on any financial
legislation. In is believed, however. that
enough sound money Democrats will be
found to join with the Repu olicans, and
10 that case the currency question will be
quickly disposed of by the adoption of
proposition such as was suggested by
President Mckinley in his message to
Congress. He advised the retention in
the Treasury OF the notes which are pre-
sented for redemption in gold coin, but
which under the present law must be i'm
medately reissued, and the increase of the
national bank note issues to be brought
about by allowing the national banks to
issue notes up to the par value of the
United States bonds deposited by them as
security.

FIGHT IT OUT.
Where WIZ BimetaIIists Who voted
for Mckinley StandT

Where VIII BimetulliBts Who Voted
for Mckinley StandF
There are two ways Of looking at the
report Of the self-cOnstituted 'mone-
tary commission It-is outspoken for
the single gold standard and in favor
Of the national banks issuing all paper
money and Of course securing the
profits Of so doing.
One way Of meeting this is to protest
and to fight It in congress. 1t is easy
10 demonstrate that it win result In a
further enhancement Of gold in its pur-
chasing power, and, consequently must
cause another drop in prices and FIX g
policy of falling prices upon the coun-
try. This IS so fatal TO the interests Of
the producer and is so serious matter
involving, also, vital moral and social
questions, that the first impulse is to
take any course, promptly and ener-
getically, to prevent il.
But another view is to say to these
gold worshipers: Go on, eat gold, grind
it up as the IsraeIites did the golden
calf, and drink IL; have it for break
fast, dinner and supper, if you VIII,
but remember you win finally meet a
Just retribution. To use another figure,
give them all the rope they need to hang
themselves For we know that the PEG
pie Of this country viii finally awake
TO the enormity Of this policy. The in
cubus piled upon them by the money
mOnOpOlists viii at length be lifted. II
may be by a social earthquake or vol
canO, but when that time comes the
work viii be thoroughly done.
If we favored this last policy for our
friends in congress, to let the money
lending clique have their way, led by
the monetary commission and sec
Onded by Secretary Gage, I've should
soon find out how many of the BIZ
metallists who voted for Mckinley are
true TO their convictions.
They now know that there is 10 hope
for international bimetallism. Viii
they put their necIls under the yoke and
become gold mOuOmetalIists, or will
they take a manly stand for American
policy, which must eventually prevail
and which simply treats the two metals
as they were treated in this country for
a hundred years, that is, with perfect
equality both in the laws and in the
execution Of the laws?
For our own part, we believe in fight
ing the ground inch by inch and believe
we can, even in this congress, defeat
any further step towards gold mono
