The friends of DR.. George II. Bailey,
who is the veterinarian of the Maine
Cattle Commisson, made a pretty good
argument in his favor by citing the high
favor of Maine butter, cheese and cows
in the Boston market. 1t is stated by
an Augusta correspondent that last year
twelve thousand Maine cows were sold
in Boston. II that is true, and If the sale
was stimulated by confidence in our
exemption from tuberculosis, the work
of the cattle commission has certainly
done vast good.

RYAN'S LAW.
A Blind Mans Blow at those who
PeddIe Books.

Maine book agents are somewhat dis
turbet by the statute amending the law
relative to the license of peddlers which
was passed by the recent Legislature.
Many inquiries have been made of the
Secretary of State at Augusta regarding
the new law and asking whether or not
the act applies to canvasseIs who are 40
ing business in the state or who want to
do business here. The act puts book
agents on the same footing as other pad
dlars.
William j. Ryan, the blind man OF
Portland, was instrumental in bringing
about tine passage of this act. For many
years Ryan has been q yearly visitor to
many towns in Maine and has sold the
Farmer Almanac to regular customers.
1t has bsen about the only means OF sup
port he has had and by hard work and
much srayslling about from one part of
the state to another he has succeeded in
selling enough books to support himself.
But in the past two or three years some
book agents in Eastport. Rocklsnd,
Waterville and in other. places have been
getting ahead of Ryan and selling the
almanacs to those who have always been
his customers. This cut down his business
not little and being very wide awake
and shrewd fellow Ryan determined to
put a stop.to this if possible. He con-
suited with some of the Portland lawyers
who have always t,een good friends of the
blind man and was advised by them to
get the Legislature to pass an act making
1t obliga.ory.for book agents to take out a
license. MIR. Ryan started out from Port
land in November on his regular route
and while selling almanacs also obtained
signers to his petition asking the legisla-

Citations that the New York investigat ion
is bringing out concerning the way he
has been getting rich will probably have
a strong tendency to keep reputable Dem
ocrats from hitching up with him.
Meanwhile Bryan goes from city to city
talking about efferson and whooping up
the crowd for free silver and its chief
apostle, who is himself. 1t is evident
that the Boy Orator has a strong grip
upon the masses which cannot easily be
loosened. What sentiment there is against
him Ia disorgani2ed and inharmonious.
while that in his favor has the benefit
of most of the machinery of the party,
and knows precisely what 1t wants and
whom 1t wants. What may happen before
1900 nobody can predict. but if the Dem
ocratio convention were held next week
or next month Bryan would win more
easily than he did in 1896.
