Many Of our citizens have expressed
themselves to the effect that it WAS a
mistake that Skowhegan did nothing
this year to interest people and keep
them at home the Fourth. They had a
grand celebration last year and saved
the people from the necessity of making
trips to other towns for amusement or
entertainment. This sentiment is freely
expressed and with it the determination
voiced that it shall not be thus in the
year 1900. We are, we believe, justified
IN stating that Skowhegan will celebrate
and that there will be some good races
at Fairview Park, July 4th, next, with
other attractions that we are not pre-
pared to enumerate at this time. We
gave way to other towns this year. We
cannot be expected to next year.

nothing to commend in what these

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 9.-With
the republican caucus TO nominate a
candidate for United States senator
only "a hours off, the situation has no
new aspect of significance. The man.
ayers of the candidacy OF j. Frank
Hanly, who have been kept busy for
several days denying stories put in
circulation, were slightly disconnected
early in the day on account of an ap-
pearance of an editorial in the party
organ calling on the caucus to defeat
Hanly. 1t was clear that there is not
the slightest indication of any marked
change in the situation in advance of
the caucus. Well informed men say
this or that candidate might gain a
vote or two. or might lose here and
there, but that in the general situation
changes of significance were impos-
sible. Day by day the following of
each candidate has become more at
tached to that candidate, and less in

other truStificationS. be they good or
evil. We have Witnessed i'm the past
few years SO many organized concerns
that the word trust has become as
ancient as Noah's ark. which was the
greatest trust the world ever heard Of:
all outside of this ark trust WAS the
'CctTin Trust,' which in this 10Th
century is again being r2surrcrtrd.
Just think Of the absurdity! Who is
going to promote ii "Cemrtery Trust
to beat the coffin organization, and de-
fraud the gravr-diggcr?
The next proposed trust will possibly
be found in an Anti-Marriage Trust,
which will permit only certain class
Of people to engage in the perpetual
tion Of the race, so as to exclude 4
Populistic brood, which is attempting
to rule the capitalstic classes, and to
ccnfne marriage rights to the favored
few, who could glory in their seclus-
iveness, and end their years of eNuIt-
ans pride by working for themselves.
The question now arrives. who are
be"trusted''to get a days work? Some
one can answer this question, others
car also predict what the wage out
come will be if those outside the trusts
do not organize greater one.
