Hon. Seth l.. Milliken.

Congressman Edwin G. Burleigh In bis
remarks on the occasion of memorial ex-
ercises of Hon. Seth l.. Milliken, late
member OF Congress from this district,
10 che House Of Representatives, 10 part
said
"fhe career of Seth l.. Milliken wildly
and forcbly illustrates the possibilities
position he attained In the councils of
the nation was due In no degree to the
accident of birth or fortuitous circum-
stances. From the early age Of IA years,
when he left his country home to secure
an education, with So which his grand
mother had given him from her revolu
tionary war pension--the only contribu-
ton for this purpose he ever had--and
walked forty miles to save stage fare, he
was wholly the architect of his own
fortunes. To youth of less resolute
mold and tenacity of purpose the OBJ
stacles in his way would have seemed in
surmountable; but, though his financial
resources we're meagre, he was not with
out capital.
ale had inherited vigorous constitu-
ton, and hard work In the open air amid
the rugged hills of his native town had
given him the buoyancy of good health,
and taught him habits of industry that
he retained through life. When scarcely
emerged from childhood he took up the
burdens OF life without experience in
worldly affairs, and with no resources
save his own untlriDg industry. He had
his own way TO make In the world, and
the detailed story of his struggles and his
triumphs might well serve as IA source of
inspiration To the youth of America.
In 1856 Mr.. Milliken was graduated
from Union college In New York, after
having taken three years course at
what is now Colby University, in his
own State. Six weeks later he was
elected to the Maine House of Represen-
tatiyes, and was returned the following
year. Thus 10 early life he acquired a
knowledge of Legislative procedure
which proved of great assistance and
value to him In later years.
During his long and distinguished
service here he was painstaking and
conscientious representative, thoroughly
devoted to the interests of his cOnstitu-
ents, and that they fully appreciated his
labors in their behalf is evidenced by
eight consecutive elections with con-
stantly increasing majorties.
"Mr. Milliken came of good stock. On
the paternal side he WAS of Scotch de-
scent; his maternal ancestors were the
Counts of Perrigaux, who were promi-
nently identified with the early history
of France. He thus inherited the bes,
characteristics of two strong races from
his father strong will, tenacity of pur-
pose and marked power of analysis
from his mother poetical temperament,
innate courtesy and ready wit. 1t is
to the combination of these qualities that
we may trace his notable success as q
public speaker and his happy faculty OF
making and retaining strong friend
ships"

Dun's commercial report for the past
week says the business interests of the
country are just cumming. The volume
OF business is SO per cent larger than this
time last year and more than 10 per cent
larger than in 1892 as indicated by clear
ing house reports. The cotton business
is tagging but otherwise the demand for
most goods is more heavy for the season,
manufacturing works are better en-
ployed and orders booked and prospects
for the future are more encouraging than
at this season in any other year of which
equally definite records exist. Exports
of products continue surprisingly heavy
in spite of some rise in prices. Treasury
receipts from customs were larger in 20
days of January than the entire month
of October or November and apprehen-
sion regarding the monetary future is no
longer felt outside of speculation circles.

Insolvency Court.

Hon. E. F. Danforth, judge of probate,
held court at the probate Office, Satur-
day afternoon, to accommodate ansad-
journed meeting of the creditors of b.
P. j. Weston. About twenty gentlemen
were present, mostly from Madison and
Skowhegan. Petitions were presented
signed by the creditors present and
other principal creditors for the appoint
ment of c. A. Wilbur, Esq, as assignee,
and he was appointed by the court.
Judge Danforth inquired whether it
was the desire of creditors present to
have Mr.. Weston examined that time.
There being no one present who seemed
to desire it, Mr.. Wilbur, the assignee.
and L. l.. Walton, ESQ, counsel for Mr..
Weston, agreed upon April 18th for the
general examination in the case, and
Judge Danforth fixed upon the date
and notified creditors to that effect.

We hear quite frequently people in
Maine, who know nothing of the work
ings of license law, say that prohibit
ton is a failure and a license law is what
Maine should have. Prohibition is the
correct principle to apply to crime, or
even an evil and license law is as hard
to enforce effectively as prohibitory
law. Judge Robert c. Pitman of the
court of Massachusetts, who
knows something of the workings of a
license law in that State is reported in
the Christian Advocate as follows !:
MAY not rightly sum up the duty of
those who believe the liquor traffic to be
a curse, IA this Wherever license pre-
walls, wrest every inch of territory you
can for prohibition; where prohibition
prevails, never surrender an inch to
license, except from dire necessity"
Where we cannot wrest anything, we
will contend against any greater license
than exists; where we can make the re-
strictions stronger, we will struggle for
it /; where nothing can be done, we will
endeavor to enforce the prohibitive fea.
lures of existing laws; meanwhile losing
no fitting opportunity to hold up the
ideal, the outlawing of the saloon.
