And l, if be lifted up, will draw all
men unto Me"
That is not so much n promise as n
description of how righteousness
works.
We could afford to spend less time
persuading men, and more in llustra-
ton of Him. The genuine thing draws,
and does not need editing. All men
want to be saved. but they would rath-
er be damned than be fooled.
Obversely, the Scripture is just as
true: And l, If | be cheapened and be-
Titled, will repel all men from Me.
Everybody turns away in disgust
from little" man in big" place,
and in this wrong-headed but clear
headed old world cheap and nasty
Christianity will not go. Men do not
reason in the abstract. They go by
their eyes and ears. mostly, and the
average Christian is the vulgar defini-
ton of Christ
Until Christianity shows more power
over Christians it can make no strong
appeal to the world" If Christ save
not the found, what message has He
for the lost?
If all men are not drawing to Christ,
1t is because He is not being lifted
up" That proposition seems unan-
swerable.
John G. Woolley, in The Voice.

Misleading.

One would imagine, if he believed
half he sees in Republican Journals
that Democrats not only refuse to
see that the country is
prosperous under Republican rule
but are really, at heart, anxious that
"hard times" shall continue. Of
course, all sensible people see
through this flimsy pretext. Its
only ruse to boost up Mckinley
and his followers, and pave the way
to the White House in 1900. Can
didly, we are glad to know that
times are more prosperous than
some years ago. The famine in
Europe created n demand for our
farm products. The war, which
they say was precipltated by the
Democrats, stimulated business in
certain lines to prosecute the war.
f there had been no famine in
Europe and no war with Spain it is
difficult to see where the republic,
cans would have gotten an argu-
ment to show that times are better
under their rule. The opening of
factories, etc., incident to the war
they tell us is due to McKinley's
administration.
The increase in wages, in some
manufactures, is evidence, they
tell us, of prosperity, when in fact,
this "rise in wages" is only restor-
ing them to the original mark.
"Our exports are the largest in
years, and our imports less" they
say, which proves that we are pros.
porous. Because man buys less
than he sells is no proof of prosper
ity, but necessity. "The balance
of trade is in our favor" but who
gets the balance?" DO the people
get it? Mere riches in nation don't
make a nation rich. Who got the
"balance?" The Trusts got it, the
people didn't. AS the Verdict APPLY
says, if we took in more money in
the last fiscal year, who got it?
Protection and the Trusts-these
high walls around infant industries
these vultures got the "balance."
The claim that prosperity has come
and the argument adduced to show
it is misleading and false.
Nonation or people, under single
money standard, with high tariff
protection-ever were or ever will be
truly prosperous. To say that a
man or nations are prosperous be-
cause they buy less than they sell is
a misleading and a false argument.

now. The "Ring" divides to
conquer-strange to say, but it
see ms the more you divide them
the stronger they get. When
you down one half dozen spring
up in his place, so it seemed on the
Goth certain. The strength of the
Republican party in the State is in
Tazewell; likewise the weakness of
the Democratic party. In intel
ligence and wealth and we suspect
in actual numbers,the dem ocrats
are the equals of their brethren,
the enemy, but in compactness,
solidity, perfection of organization
and generalsbip, the democrats
CANT in it". The Republicans
supass their democratic bret hren
in some way offering superior in
duccments to the wayfaring voter.
One great source of strength
among them, IS that they have
few-very few-lcaders, who have
no higher ambition than to will
they lead, plot plan, scheme, spike
guns-command, and all the rest
follow. 1t can never be said of
them, "All we, like sheep have
gone astray," When feeding time
comes they are all there, the
whole ninety and nine. Their
motto is, "sUccess however great
the COST" and they work up to it,
and have been doing so for twenty
years. A succession of brilliant
success insures, almost certain a
succession Of successes, and
solidarity. A succession of de-
feats and failures generates dis
enlargement, and hence the dem
ocrats are not solid and .neIvy
when hot times come. Something
must be done to check the down
hill tendency Of things in demo
cratic ranks, if future fights for
freedom are to count for anything.
Some thought that when a life
long Republican, whose election as
commissioner was almost Il
certainty, withdrew and fused with
a democrat for Sheriff, that the
thing was done. A democratic
commissioners would get int hereby,
and Republican votes would elect,
or help TO, democratic sheriff.
But behold! Word is passed
around. The "Ring' encompasscth
the land, as the waters cover the
deep, and the whale swallowcth
Jonah, democratic sheriff, com
missioner and all. While rumin-
atlng on these things we feel
strangely impressed to utter
little prophecy. 1t is this: While
the "ring" is not busted it is
little cracked by long usage and
hard service, and will one day,
when, we do not know-brcak,
and the broken fragments pre-
served as relies of a brilliant and
successful past.

Waterville, February 3-The small

known to exist in Waterville was brought
here by Frenohman named Pomerleau.
who was in the volunteer army in the
Spanish American war. he became the
patient of DIR. j. l.. Fortier, who gave
as his opinion the case was small pox
Dr. II. c. Thayer was called and a

Expressed desire of Drs Thayer and For
tier, DR.. Charles ID. Smith of Portland.
PRESIDENT of the state board of health. was
called to Waterville to investigate.
DR. j. l.. Fortier stated to the Asso-
ciated Press: My patient, young
Pomerleau of Temple court, is very i'll
and horrible sight to gaze upon. My
opinion that the case was small pox was
substantiated by Drs. Smith and Young
of the state board of health. "
This Is the worst case in the city,
though there are number of other pro-
nounoed cases of small pox Oh the Plains
anu If these people have the disease hun
dreds and hundreds of operatives in the
Lockwood company's cotton mills have
been exposed.
DR. +. q. Ihayer states that when first
called in consultation he gave rs his
opinion that the case was small pox and
considers the board of health should have
at once issued orders of quarantine and
thereby have prevented the exposure of q
large number of citizens
DR.. Rancourt, though not positive that
there are any cases of small pox In the
city, alleges forty patients who have the
symptoms as ascribed to some of the pro-
nouncd cases of small pox and these are
mostly in Winslow upon what is known
as "Sand Hill"
The Winslow people are almost wholly
Lockwood mill operatives and have passed
IN and out from their work.
Despite contrary reports, 1T Is the fact
that proper precaution of isolation OF
alleged small pox patients was not taken,
which is probably the cause Of the disease
having spread and no certainty remains
as to the amount of injury which will
result therefrom.
The Winslow authorities have now
taken the same precaution of quarantine
and order of vaccination as this city.
