Of the party are taking more interest in
politics than for years. With a very few
exceptions the members of the party who

candidates, for the nominees OF the gold
Democrats, or who remained at home are
now back in the party and are active
workers, In no part of the State are there
dissensions. Strong county and repre-
sentative tickets for the State legislature
have been nominated and gains are ex-
pected in these offices. In particular en-.
couraging reports were made from Knox,
Hancock, Somerset, Androscoggin, Gum
berIand, York and Kennebec counties.

It Is aid to BE Very Intense IN Porto
Rico.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press. J
san Juan de Porto Rico, August 10.-
More than 100 laboring men OF San Io-
renzo, accompanied by their wives, and
children reached this city at eight
O'Clock on the morning of August 13,
after weary journey on foot of q miles,
all for the purpose of seeking work.
With the flag of the United States flying
at their head, the Iaborers marched IN a
orderly manner to the executive mansion
In Fort Eiaza street and halted. Two of
their number already selected, entered
the executive mansion and asked for an
audience with acting Governor Hunt,
Mhlen was readily granted. They ex-
planned thai the object OF their visit wa
to ask the government TO open up the
road between Caguas and San Lorenzo "a
ten mile stretch) in order that the labor
ing people OF the districts might be given
an opportunity to earn living.
Acting Governor Hunt assured the
spokesmen that he was IN hearty sympa-
thy with the laboring psopls deprived OF
work and that the government would
DO all IN It's power To provide them with
an opportunity 60 earn living.
Acting Governor Hunt Immediately
gave orders FOR work to begin at once on
t he road connecting Caguas and San
Lorenzo. Later Ia the day picks, shovels
and other necessary tools for the work
were sent out.
The laborers said they did not wish to
be fed gratis by the government but
desired an opportunity to work and
would return to their homes as soon as
possible and report to the contractor.
People in the United States have little
idea OF the extent of the anti-American
feeling which exists here among certain
classes. At the time Of General MiIes's
landing, two years ago, the press reports
told OF the open-arm reception of the
troops by the people. 1t was "Ameri-
oano, mucho bueno." then. But those
who came with the troops knew that il
was Americana, mucho bueno, give me
| five cents" 1t Is now much the same,
only instead Of give me i've CENTS it il
give me a fat government job, Will
bankers hours. -
The city of AIayaguez, August II, sue
cessfully carried out very creditabl'
programme ia celebration of the secone
anniversary OF the occupation of tina
town By the American troops. Fiv
thousand people assembled in the plaz'
and listened to patriotic speeches and con
siderable enthusiasm prevailed. On
August 10, Mr.. Hermfnio Diaz, a local
attorney, one time secretary of justic
under one Of the American military gov
ernors and others, made strong speeche
ana attempted to persuade the peopls O
Aayaguez into not taking part IN the cele
! bration. Diaz is reported to have sal
that ''the day should be one Of mourning
instead Of rejoicing" and other senti
men Is Of a like nature.
The dissatisfaction prevailing on tn
island and the expressions of anti-Amer
loan feeling, are open and unconcea1eS
but may IN almost every instance b
traced to the Spanish citizens who ar
living on the island because, simply NOR
than half Of its real estate is IN theil
hands.

"IT WAS BETTER So"

Many conservative Populists and some Dem.
ocrats declare that it was better that Mckinley
should be elected, because it will 'bring things
to focus" that much sooner. The Mckinley
crowd are determined to have a large standing
army, and to force upon the people the Hamil-
tonian doctrine, which means the formation OF
a government modelled after the English gov
eminent. They are standing by their friends
and hackers, the trusts, which will increase i'll
numbers and power in the next four years.
There will be innumerable strikes and lockouts,
and labor will be forced to lower level than
ever The small banker and the small mer-
chant will suffer, many being forced out OF bus
mess Before four years roll around, all of
these classes will see the mistake they made
this year, and will be only too glad to make an
other change The socialistic, or government
ownership, class will then come to the front,
and the classes we have mentioned will fall
over each other in their eagerness to bury the
Republican party.
@, no; we are not dsheartened but are ready
for another fray.

Our "Free" Country.

Warrants have been issued in Paris, France,
for the arrest of certain rich sugar-refiners on
the charge of attempting to corner The sugar
market. What a cruel thing to do! Arrest
honest business men for running their own
business in their own way! We do better IN
this great free country of ours. We allow
trusts to corner sugar, steel, oil, COAL Hour,
wheat, corn, pork and thousand other things,
and permit them to plumber people at their own
sweet own will. We allow the trusts to select
the chief law officers of the government. One
of the great parties collects its entire campaign
fund from prot> cted combines and public plum
derers Ought not our people to he proud and
happy that they live in free country, while
the pooi spectators of France live under
cruel despotisin-ti,at we live in a blessed coun-
try that sends porch-climbers to the penilen-
tiary, aud wholesale robbers to the United
States observation-disclosures

SCOOPED.

Yes; we are scooped this time. Imperialism
is on top, for the time being. We must endure
four years more of Mckinley prosperity +"
The laboring man who has been having gull
dinner-pail' of corn bread and bologna can
still enjoy the same, for while-untl we have
a few more trusts are formed and more factories
are closed, and these iaboring men are ont OF
Jobs, when their dnner-pails will be empty.
The people of Kansas concluded that they
could get along without governor, preferring
a 6gurehead who spends his time running about
the country. They prefer yiolator OF law IN
the treasurer's office. They don't want any
interference with railroads, stock-yards, inslr-
ance companies or other corporations. They
prefer to pay two prices for what they eat and
wear. They will get what they voted for, and
much more-never fear
We freely admit that we are surprised at the
result in Kansas snt Nebraska, both of which
gave ,hajorites for the Republican ticket, but
considering the immense amount OF money III
the hands of the Republican managers, the
general result is not so surprising, after all.
Mercenaries are too numerous in this country.
AL! but one Of the Republican candidates for
congress in Kansas were elected. Judge Jack
son, Democrat, was elected in the Third dis
trct. The Republicans have the legislature by
a greater majority than the last legislature
The Democratic vote was increased in many
eastern states, but not enough to defeat the
Republicans. New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois show big Democratic gains, but they
remain in the Republican column. Kentucky
dropped back into the Democratic column
OF course, the Republicans are jubilant-
they have reason to BE- The Joy OF many who
imagine they have won victory will be short
lived--they will regret 1t.
AS to the Populists, they are not discouraged
O east down. We are willing to bide our time,
knowing that the people will soon realize that
We are in the right, and that Truth, crushed
to earth, will rise again."

''Hold the exposition' Of course Kansas
can hold the exposition. Kansas can accom-
p1ish whatever she undertakes, and she always
gets what she goes after" said Secretary VIII
son, of President McKinley's cabinet, when in
Topeka, on his recent visit to Kansas. ''Fhe
West is the seat of empire. The exposition
should be held, by all means, so that the states
resources may be shown. The site having
been selected, and the preliminary work started,
it now remains to make pull, and Il pull alto
gether to make the big show success. The
different counties of the state should be organ
lied for the work and the cole citing of exhibits
should begin at once. have no doubt what
ever that the exposition will be great success,
and it should be, for Kansas is a state that
does things"

Grimes did not deny it) that he unlawfully de-

VIM. 7. TABER wrote us from Essex, Iowa,
on election day; "The American people will
finish up the job to-day, of squaHdering over
one hundred million dollars to elect bastard
king. The miserable fools had better have a
real king, and avoid such ridiculous eXtraVa-
pance They could still Lave the thing eco
nomically administered, and they could point
with pride till their bellies ached.' While
the old man may not use the choicest language
in expressing himself, he generally hits pretty
close to the bulls eye.

Mark this prediction: Before another year
rolls around this country will see the biggest
panic it has ever known. Not only will the
little banks of the country be squeezed, but
many supposed strong banking institutions in
Wall street will fall with crash that will be
heard from ocean to ocean, Then the fellows
who voted for Mckinley prosperity and full
dinner-pai will see their error. It's coming,
sure.
