& Senator Aldrich is authority for a state
ment which if founded on facts is truly
comforting. He says that after making
a thorough personal canvass of the Senate
he is fully satisfied that free silver bill
could not command a majority in that
body. He further declares that he has the
names of forty five senators who would
vote. e.against a free silver measure should
the issue be directly raised. Coming
from a man of such extreme care, the
statement should have re-assuring effect
upon all interests, despite the very sus-
picious occurrences which too frequently
happen in the Senate and which are cal
culated to lead one to a contrary opinion.

Secretary Gage in his Philadelphia
,eech spiked several of Mr.. Bryan's S
guns. At the beginning he dwelt upon
the advantage which wage labor had in a
downward tendency in prices and main
tanned that capital must have suffered al
most exclusively from the alleged effects
of silver demonetization, SO far as any in
terest had suffered. Prices from 1878 to
1891 h ad fallen twenty-seven per cent,
while wages had increased ten per cent.
Labor had, in word; gained both ways
and the secretary quoted Professor
Thorold Rogers to the effect that ''The
history of England for six hundred years
shows that. the wage Garner has Jared the
best when by diminishing supply of
metallic money the prices of things were
tending downward

There was a serious accident Tuesday

boy with. his teeth and threw him down
and Jrampled upon him, making a severe
cut in the scalp and breaking the bone in
one thigh.

bent for the work. About ten car loads
of plate have already arrived for the

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST

The Mary Dillingham; Chapter. D. A.
R.. of Lewiston ana Auburn has begun
the work of establishing Historical Lii
brary of Androscoggin County, which
is designed to furnish so far as possible
complete records Of the history of the
county in which the chapter is formed.
Among other plans it is intended to cause
to be compiled and published reooIlec-
tions of one or two men who are con-
sidered as authority On this subject, and
to obtain in various ways all the litera-
ture possible pertaining to the matter.
A musicale is soon to be given in this in
terest, and other plans for raising money
to further the project are on foot. 1t is
stated that several menswho are interested
have already promised financial aid in
the matter.

major said he had not yet received the
letter, and knew nothing Of the matter
officially. He was of the opinion, how,
ever, that the law had been well enforced
in Androscoggin county. why, ssl.l
he, ''in tive years two speclal ilqu uop aop

September term of last year the two Dep
uties seized $12, 600 worth Of liquor. our
record in this county is better than al All
the others in the State can show. We
shall be glad to see the Governor anu
others interested. and will show them
our we'll filled storehouses as proof OF
what we have done in the way of the
enforcement of the prohibitory law.
Says the Bangor Whig: The stampede
has begun. That seems to be about the
order of things as regards the liquor sell
lers-due to the letters sent out to the
sheriffs of the different counties by Gov
ernor Powers. In this city preparations
are being made, it is said by the liquor
sellers to prepare for trouble. We hear
of loads of liquor being secretly hauled
cut of saloons at night to placeslof safety,
in anticipation, probably, on the part OF
the propfietors of raids by the officers.
They do not know what may happen SO
believe in preparing for the unexpected.
For some days we learn that liquor has
been on the move on the quiet but last
night there was more decided tendency
in this direction than before. we are in
formed.
