ITO the Democrats OF the United
States: ~
THE Democratic party and Its
friends must meet the forces of corr
ruption and intimidation In politics
this year by thorough organization. A
Democratic club or society should be
organized In every city. town. village
and precinct in the United States. Dem
ocrats and all who are In sympathy
with the principles set forth In the
Kansas City platform are earnestly
urged to join Democratic clubs, or when
none exists. to assist In organizing
them.
This work of uniting the forces Of
law and liberty into one great SYSTEM
atized civic army should be carried on
simultaneously In every part of the
country without delay. The friends OF
government, according to the hitherto
enchallenged American theory of po-
lltical equality everywhere under our
flag, cannot afford to be less jealous
or less active than the advocates Of an,
American colonial empire supported by
rifles. No patriotic citizen can ignore
the attacks which are being made upon
the very foundation of our present ir-
repronchable form OF government. This
year every citizen should be pollti-
clan. Clubs and societies should at
once communicate with the Secretary
of the National Association Of Demo-
cratic Clubs. 1877 Broadway, New York
City" so that the united membership
may work systematically in defense OF
the republic as the fathers made It. All
Democratic committees. state and To-
cal, are requested to aid the National
Association Of Democratic Clubs In
this work.

ports from blast furnace owners show
that furnaces have been blown out

Restriction Of Production.
This is restriction of production in

fact, In an Informal manner, the fur

decided TO bank n number OF stacks on
September which are now running.
The furnaces which have been blown
out IN the past month are scattered oil
over the country.
I'm the meantime the closing down OF
so many rolling mills on account OF
labor difficulties and for other causes
must lead to u steady depletion OF
stocks OF finished goods SO that in that
direction. too, the situation is becoming
satrinsieally sounder.

BURGLARS Ar BREWER.

Bangor, July 1S.-Burglars drilled the
door of the safe in the Brewer Savings
bank, Brewer, Tuesday night, but were
frightened away before they could blow
the charge. The bank keeps nothing but
it's books in the safe deposIting every af-
ternoon in Bangor bank. The books
and some office supplies were the only
things of value in the safe.
The burglars had evidently been around
town for several days and had been MAX
ing preparations.
At sometime during the quiet hours of
midnight, Monday, burglars visited the
blacksmith shop of Mr.. Lancaster on
Main street. An entrance was gained by
prying open the lock. When Mr.. Lancas-
ter went to open shop Tuesday morning
he found the lock lying on a bench on
the inside and in broken condition. s
He took a look around the shop and
found that from his tools there was a bit.

A wELCOME EXHIBITION.

The announcement that Prof. Gen.
try's Famous Dog and Pony Show is
soon to exhibit in this city has led to nu-
merous inquiries about the details such
as the location Of the grounds and prices
of admission. The character of the show
is SO well known that the people win
regard the information as news, and con-
sequently we have made inquiries with
the following result: The show, which
it is needless to mention, is the best one

Hobbs, of other divisions Of the Rock Is.
land system. They were Investigating the
actions of an employee OF the road with
reference to O matter which was under
consideration at the time when they
overheard a conversation between two
other employees commenting upon the
same question. The latter were censuring
the man who was under Investigation.
In the course of the discussion one OF
them remarked that the fault of the
whole business was due to cigarette
smoking, and that the man in question
was confirmed cigarette f1end.
The comment impressed Supt. HIT,
and he made comment upon it to the
other two officials. They then discussed
the matter with the result that q week
later the embargo on cigarette smokers
was placed and Instructions were is
sued verbally to the superintendent and
physicians who examined applicants for
employment 1t was also made retroac-
tive, so as to cover those who are already
IN the service. These will be given the
opportunity to quit the cigarette or the
road. Since none have resigned for this
cause, it is presumed that many have
quit the cigarette just how many, users
of the weed there were on the system the
officials were unable to say. They ven
tured a statement that there were com
paratively few among the 1900 in the
entire service.
Though the rule has only been IN
effect a short time, . said General Supt.
Hit, there has, we believe, been some
perceptible result. When an application
is filed and the applicant makes an
affirmative answer to the question Wheth-
er he smokes cigarettes or not his paper
is not given a moments consideration
We are always looking for a chance to
improve the service even in the smallest
things, and are quick to adopt a means
to accomplish that end. There is no
doubt that the use of the cigarette units
a man in measure for work. My OBJ
servat1On, as we'll as the opinions of emil
nent physicians, has convinced me the
cigarette vitiates a mans capacity 1t
enervates him, renders him HstIess and
somewhat reckless. A person addicted to
the habit always has a languid feeling
that is markedly evident in the drOOp-
ing eye and the nervous body. And in
the railroad business one must always
have clear brain, strong nerve and
healthy body to properly carry out his
duties. AS in the case of q dispatcher
who has the running of trains human
life depends upon him, and clear head
is absolutely necessary. While the rule
adopted by the Rock Island road is some
what an innovation, we are confident
that it win prove successful. The effect
of 1T can readily be seen; it Will not take
long for other roads to follow in the steps
of the Rock Island system. Ii the rule
should be adopted by all the railroad sys-
TENS in this country and Canada, the
cigarette habit will no doubt receive a
death blow.

feature of the occasion was the presenta-

A number of the visitors went about
the city during the afternoon, but
there was also a meeting in the afternoon,
the theme, missions" being discussed.
This discussion was one of the most
notable features OF the sessions. The

also very bright. Rev. Mr.. Aaron report
