UPTON POLITICAL NEWS.
License Men Are Working Hard to Garry
the Town--The Contest for seIectmen,

License Men Are Working Hard to Carry
the Town--The Contest for seIectmen,
Upton, March 5.--As the time draws
near for the annual town meeting, the
interest increases each day. There are
many grave things that will be brought
before the intelligent voters of this town
to decide. Perhaps the most vital aues-
ton that is agitating the minds of the
people both men and women, is that of
license. Every day there is something
being written by different ones and sent
to the local papers for the public's read
ing Many unite in favor of license being
granted; others against it. The license
people seem to have little the best of
the arguments SO far, but whether the
vote of next Monday will demonstrate
this fact is doubtful. The w. c. T. u,
realizing the fact that the town is in
danger of going license, are
doing their utmost to prevent
| it, and for the past six weeks temperance
meetings have been held. On the other
hand, it is claimed that the license peo-
pie are working quietly in the dark The
contest for selectmen this year promises
to be rather lively. There are four cam
didates in the field, three of them are
republicans and one democrat nomin-
ated by the citizens caucus The contest
will be between b. A. Jourdan and Viii
liam H. Walker. Mr. Jourdan is one of
the present board of selectmen, and Mr..
Walker is running on the citizens
ticket. There are three or four articles
in the town warrant that need the
careful consideration of every voter, as
they are all for the towns good.

LOCAL POLITICS

Politics are booming. Nobody knows
and still everybody knows who the next
board of selectmen will be. The latest
light that shines on the sea of complica-
tions, beams from an interview with an
official of the city of Worcester. He
says the city of Worcester can spend
money in no more profitable way than
in drawing it for incidental expenses and
spending it in defeating thepresent board
Of selectmen. He says Worcester cannot
afford to let the good people Of Mill
bury be driven by three men whose
only object seems to be to fight the city
on the sewage question. No other board
advised such action as the present board
has taken, and it is not probable that
another board would pursue the city
with such vicious spirit. Money ex-
pended in defeating such men would by
no means be thrown away.

GENERAL KINGS REPoRT.

On the Manoa Valley and Martial
Law Episodes-He Exonerates
Merriam.
Major General Merriam has re.
ceived the official report OF Brigadier
General King, commanding at Ho-
nolulu 1t contains much interest
ing data concerning the health aud
discipline OF the troops, and an ac
count OF the recent disturbance that
occurred between the soldiers and
citizens. The report completely ex-
onerates Lieutenant Merriam, son of
General Merriam, who was reported
to have been under the infiunce OF
liquor and to have behaved in a
manner unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. The following is that
portion of General Kings report
relating to Lieutenant Merriam:
As to discipline the depredations
up the Msnoa Valley have ceased
entirely. Only one unfortunate in
cident has occurred. On Monday
evening last, the men having been
paid during the day, | had instructed
the provost marshal to be in town
with dozen mounted soldiers to
arrest members of the command who
might be creating disturbance.
The officer had been most efficient
in suppressing lawlessness in the
suburbs, but on this occasion he
appears 10 have completely lost his
head and also to have involved the
junior aide-de-camp on my staff The
former had fracas with merchant
sailor. The sympathies of & he crowd
were against the officers. There we're
jeers and threats, and it seems that
Lieutenant Wheelock ordered the
streets cleared, rode off in pursuit of
a gang OF sailors who we're cursiug
him and left an inexperienced sec
ond lieutenant to execute his orders.
The Town Marshal (Brown), a man
of marked fairness and intelligence,
assures me that his informants told
him that Lieutenant Mreeiam was
not drunk, but merely kept telling
people to move on or off and unfor-
tuuately asserting that it was
"martisl law"
| was awakened after midnight by
Commander Taussig OF the navy,
with a hurried report that martial
law was being enforced by Lieuten-
ant Merriam. Isent Captain Saxton
to the scene to stop the trouble, and,
if necessary, place the officer under
arrest; l was dressing as rapidly as
l could when the captain returned
reporting everything quiet aud
bringing the officers with him.
After investigation the following
day / held Lieutenant Wheelock
responsible, relieved him from duty
as provost marshal and sent him to
his regiment The civil authorities
announced their intention 10 take
action, aud l expected them to do
80. They met two days later and
decided not to act.
General Merriam is also in receipt
OF a private communication from
General King in which he expresses
his highest regard for Lieutenant
Merriam, who, he states, was not
drunk and who is model young
otficer.--S n. Call.
