OBITUARY.
ALICE MAUD GIBSON.


The death OF Alice Maud Gibson. the
eldest daughter OF Mr.. John Nj. Gibson,
which occurred on Tuesday evening ct
the home OF her father, on Morning
street, was very unexpected, and came
as great shock to the immediate family
and many friends Of the deceased. Only
q few months ago she left Portland for
a visit to st. John. N. B., with her sis
ter, and was then In apparent good
health. She contracted severe cold
which with complications rapidly reduced
her strength, and for time her life was
despaired OF. Then she seemed to improve
and was brought home few days ago,
her friends hoping that the worst was
over. But the insidious disease which
had marked her for its victim had made
such progress that she failed rapi lily, and
her death came about eight o'clock on
Tuesday evening. Miss Alice Gibson
was beloved by all who knew her. Her
sunny disposition and many unselfish
acts won for lher great ssmany friends.
She was prominent in the work of the
st. Lawrence church, of which she was
a regular attendant, and where she will
be much missed.

SOME papers which advocate socialism find
fault with those which favor state socialism.
In this, they are wrong. We favor state So
cialism, because, when we acquire state social
ism, the people will be so we'll pleased with
its workings that they will be willing to pro-
gress and adopt national socialism. State So
cialism will prove an educator, just as munici-
pal ownership, or municipal socialism, has prov
Ell an educator.

The gold bug party press is making desperate
efforts to have silver, I6 to I, omitted from the
Democratic platform. If the silver question is
settled, and, is losing issue, why object to the
Democrats talking about it? If it will drive
away votes from Bryan, why should not the
Republicans want it put in the Kansas City
platform? Lawrence Jeffersonian.

Paragraphs from Georges Weekly, Denver.

Think of Lady Curzon sending 517,5oo
1857 ,ooo1 from starving India to Maieking to
buy luxures for Baden Powell's people, when
20, ,ooo, 900 of her own people are crying, "Ro-
tee, ,otee, rotee!" (bread, bread, bread). The
more we think of English civilization, the
more we love Chinese.
The Pacific coast people were all "mperial-
ists'' and "expansionists" six months ago,
when army trade doomed sales, but now, since
shipload after ship-load of yelow-faced "Ameri-
cans" from our bubonic territories show up on
our shores to take the jobs of white labor their
tune is changed.
In 1776, when George Washington's North
American republic appealed to France to inter-
yene, our people know what the result was.
When poor old Dom Paul, the George Washing
ton of the South African republic, appealedsto
Mckinley for help, what did he get? People
who saw that the spirit of the republic is not de-
generating fail to appreciate the conditions that
truly exist. If George Washington were here
to-day on earth, he would grasp the hand OF
Dom Paul and say, "To h--with the sort OF
democracy that passes for republic under the
stars and stripes"
In case of foreign war, the capital at Wash
;noton is so situated that it might be wiped on'
in single night through shells thrown into 1t
bv long-range guns on warships of enemies
The capital ought to be removed to st. LOUIS or
Kansas City. What would be better still would
he to remove 1t to Denver, beyond the reach OF
The malarial influences of the Potomac, Wall
Street and London. In this climate the nation
m;oht breed state ,men. All sorts OF things are
statesmen in this altitude, and one has only to
look about to verify this proposition
The German government forbids the sale OF
Krupp guns to Dom Paul. Russia, Italy and
even France observed perfect neutrality. The
limited States, however, did everything i'll its
rower to help he hand of Johnnie Bull in his
nuholy fight against Dom Paul and the South
African republic by selling him mules and mu-
,,;,;ons of war; The hypocritical cry OF Nc
v;,lev at this time, ''that he is sorry for Dom
paul" sounds very much like the wall of the
.,;cteu thief on the outside of the fence, who
,.os the chickens as they are handed to hin
s-o,, the inside of the coop BY his pal.
