Western Cattle for Maine.

An attempt on large scale is soon
to be made to stock the abandoned
farms of Maine with cattle from the
west. The promoters of the scheme
claim that cattle raising can be made
to pay largely in the state because the
cattle would be near to a good ship
ping point and that the rundown
farms in Maine could in that way be
redeemed. 1t is understood that lead
ing business men in Boston and New
Yark are interested, and that an op-
tion has been obtained from the state
on tract of $4,000 acres for the cen
trail or experimental station.
The promoters are to furnish farm
ers with all the steers they can fatten
for the market, tEa profits to be de-
rived from the sales to be divided
after the state has received a percent
age. Cheap transportation is feature
likely to enter into the scheme, and it
is said that the four railroads operat-
ing in Maine are to furnish some back
ing. The number of abandoned farms
in Maine grow with each year.

TITAN BRONZE.
New Popular Shade of Hair Is Very
Extensive luxurY.

Expensive Luxury.
Titan bronze, the new shade of
hair, is still too much of novelty to
be common, but who has seen it and
not longed for tresses of that wonder
full hue? 1t is too expensive an opera
tion to ever become the popular shade,
and no amateur at hair dyeing can ac-
complsh the desired result, SO the for
tunate few who possess locks of
Titan bronze need have little fear of
many duplicates.
The art of hair dyeing has made
tremendous strides within the last
few years, and there are many artists
in that line whose work defies criti-
cism, another word for detection, but
Americans. as class, have not taken
kindly to that sort of thing, and the
remark that she dyes her hair" is
still considered by many as term of
reproach.
The Princess of Wales has variety
of wigs, which she changes with her
toilets. On her return from drive or
reception another gown, with it's ac-
companying wig, is in readiness, and
that her locks are red to-day and
brown tomorrow in no wise discon-
certs the Princess. All such matters
are regulated by custom, and the day
may come when chemical hair dyes
or eXchangeable chignons will be part
of every woman's wardrobe.

FREELAND, PA, NOVEMBER s7, SO!


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The people who are criticising Ad-
miral Dewey for transferring to his wife
the title to the house lately presented to
him by number of his admirers, are
showing therein a deplorable lack OF
good taste and proper feeling. No con
ditions were attached to Admiral
Dewey's acceptance of the property.
If there had been it is not likely that he
would have received it. Indeed he has
said that he would not, and every self
respecting man will understand why he
should not. As he said, in talking
about the matter to newspaper cor
respondent, no one with any spirit
cares to accept a gift ostensibly abso-
lutte, but actually conditional and re-
stricted.
Those who are now condemning the
admiral for what he did, which was no
more than he had perfect right to do,
were either subscribers to the fund ont
of which the house was purchased, or
they were not. If they were not sub
house is none of their business, while if
they contributed to the purchase money
they ought to have delicacy enough to
understand that a donor cannot with
out committing a tlagrant breach Of
manners act as though his participation
in the bestowal of gift conferred upon
him the right to superintend the way
in which that gift is utilized. He may
form private opinion on that subject,
but he is bound by every consideration
of good taste to keep his opinions to
himself.
II it be admitted that what Admiral
Dewey did seems at first to show a
momentary lack of tact, those who
openly condemn him themselves commit
the very fault against which their
censures are directed.
The episode affords curiously i'm
pressive illustration of that fickleness
of the crowd upon which students of
human nature have commented from
time immemorial The very same peo-
pie who have been stirred one minute
to the enthusiastic applause of Il Brutus
are frenzied by Mark Anthony the
next. 1t is natural that Admiral
Dewey should for the moment be dis
tressed by the comments of which he
has inconsderately been made the
object, but he is too much of philos-
opher to allow them long to disturb him.
The people who are condemning him
now are very likely those who shouted
loudest in his welcome. He may be
sure that he stands as high as ever
that he is just as much hero as at first
in the esteem of the great body of his
fellow-countrym

Richard Crokcr's Politics.

| CRoKER's revision OF his old estimate OF
| BRYAN is simply an indication that he has
| yielded to the exigencicS Of Democratic poll
| tics. The great bulk of Tammany's support
comes from the very elements of society
make their strongest appeal. Consequently
! any unconcealed opposition to him by the
Tammany leader would imperil the con-
tinuancc of his power.
In 1896 BRYAN had no more impassioned
support than among the rank and file Of
Tammany His vote of more than 1875, 900
in New York represented about the full pro-
portions OF the normal Tammany following
| at the present time-the natural constit-
uency on which it can always rely. The
votes it gets beyond that number come
almost wholly from the Democracy which
is apart from association with Tammany
and not under tho immediate influence of
its workers" This additional strength,
OF course, is necessary to it, more especially
in an election which cXcites the interest
OF the voters generally, but first of all.
Tummany must hold the voters who be-
long naturally to it. aggregatng one
hundred thousand and more. To lose them,
for the leader of the organization. 1t can
not afford, therefore. to truckle to 1.-THE bet
ter element of the Democracy too openly.
First of all, il must look after it's own,
and it's own are chiefly enthusiastic and
even passionate followers of BRYAN.
Moreover, at this time, there are rumb-
lings Of rebellion in Tammany Hall which
must be needed by CROKER.
That is why he comes back from England
saying that reflection abroad has convinced
him that BRYAN is zone Of the greatest men
America has produced and that BRYAN's
strength lies in his sympathy for and knowl-
edge Of the plain people" 1t is only another
way OF saying that it is not safe for the
Tammany leader to oppose the hero of the
Tammany rank and file at this time when his
nomination by the Democratic party next
year is practically assured.
This turn-about to BRYAN compels Gro
KER to go back on his record as to national
expansion also. A few months ago he declar-
ed very fatty that any party which under
took to oppose it as a rghtful consequence
of our victory in war would fly in the face Of
all patriotic sentiment and so down to in
evtablc ruin. Now he is Mortified at i'm
perial'sm.
Trusts too, now fiji CROKER with alarm
and Indignation, yet at the "ten-dolar din
ner" he sat in the company of trust lawyers,
he Is hand and glove with the trust magnates
and his relations with them have contribut-
ed most largely to his enrichment. If there
is distinctly trust type of character, RICH
ARD CROKER is it.
The part OF humbug he is now playing in
pretending to be terrified by trusts is the
most discrcditable he has ever assumed.
He is putting up very cheap and trans
parent politics.

to send many warships TO the Dardanclles
for her whole navy would be needed to cope
with the combined maritime forces Of
France, Germany and Russia, and to safe
guard the transatlantic conveyance Of her
Indispensable food supplies.
In word, the present inclination of tho
majority Of Frenchmen seems to be to con
slider the loss Of Egypt as n greater wrong
than the loss Of Alsacc Lorraine or at all
events, as wrong less irrcparablc, and to
seek compensation by uniting France. Ger

dcrstood, they add, that Alsace-Lorraine
shall remain forever German, but that the
loss thereby imposed on France is to be
much more than made good by the acqulsi-
ton of Belgium, and there will be, hence
forth, no reason why the existing arma-
mcnts should not be materially reduced.

Our Forces for the Philippines.

The case and rapdity with which the ten
volunteer regiments have been raised have
naturally suggested adding to them five
more for IL seems n pity to shut down the
recruiting machinery when the popular
eagcrncss TO enlist is undated.
Even with the three regiments organic
Ing in the Philippines, We shall have only
about 900 culistnd men in the now pro-
visiona army Of volunteers, or little less
than half what Congress authorized. We
could add ten more regiments and still fall
about 5000 short of that authorizations
It has. Therefore. become matter of con
sidcration whether five more regiments
might not wisely be recruited. especially az
they would take the places of regiments
which Icing worn down by service, it
might prove well to withdraw. 1t is urged
that this would hr only making assurance
douhy sure, and that popular sentiment
demands an ovrrw hclming force for the
renewal of operations.
On the other hand. when the thirteen new
regiments w"r" called for, II very careful
study of the situation was made, and tn"
conclusion was reached that this would be
an ample force for all needs. Since then
the estimate, for AGI ISALpO is apparently
no stronger Besides thcr" is recruiting
yet To De- done. nearly 4,7DU men hring
still required ON Thursday last. for the
regular army, and "a many for the volun-
tecrs, the latter mainly for the three Phil
ippin" regiments. These numbers have
since been reduced, but there is oppor-
tunty still for thousands more to serve
under the flag.
Whatever tn" decision regarding addi-
tional regiments, when our army takes the
field for the next campaigning season in
the Philippines, it will have an aggregate
comlatant strength, as estimated under
existing plans, of close upon 10, 900, with
the medical officers and hospital corps
carrying the total above 10000. This
Is more than double the force that Gen
OTIs had for service when the war
with AGUINALDo began, last February 1t
will be an army, too. we'll selected, we'll
