Winter of the Right Sort.

During the past ten days the mercury in
this region has been rather more frequently
below the zero mark than it has above it,
and on one or two nights it got down to the
thirty below point. If we were to look no
farther than the returns furnished by the
thermometer, this would make out strong
case against Aroostook as a desirable place
to live in. The fact is, however, that in the
mere point OF its effects as a physical tonic
and bracer of the health and spirits, the
we weather her we have had for the past fortnight
has been more comfortable and agreeable
than that OF any other section Of New Eng
land during the same period. 1t has been,
for the most part, clear as crystal, and there
has been positive stimulus to every sense
and faculty in the clear cut, brilliant and
exhllerating winter days we have had
One of the best endorsements of the ben
eflcial effects of such winter weather and
climate as we have is the fact that the best
scientific authorities touching sanitation
now recommend it as the most healthfu to
be found. Even on search for conditions
calculated to cure or mitigate consumption
medical experts are now turning to regions
like Northern Maine, as the most favorable
and beneficial. There is some contention as
to whether it shall be a Sanitarium or san
itorium, but there is no disagreement on the
point that the Northern Maine winter, with
its environment of snOw-clad forest is the
ideal place for the relief of the poor con-
sumptiveS.
Who would think of locating such sanito-
RUINS down amidst the drizzle, the fogs,
and the other manifold depressing influence
of the sea coast in winter? The place for
winter comfort and happiness is where the
snow comes with the advent of December,
and where the rule throughout the season is
steady and uniform cold weather, free from
the health risks as well as the discomfort,
of constant changes to damp air, thaws and
winter rain storms. [Presque Isle Star

The proposed reorganization of the
Democratic party is not making rapid
progress. Some contend, and have con-
tended from the first, that there is no
need for reorganization Ex-President
Cleveland has been heard from. and the
substance OF his advice is that the
Democracy should cut loose from BRYAN
ISM, Populism, Socialism and Anarch-
Ism and return to first principles. That
would mean a return to the advocacy of
hard money, a policy the Republican
party has made its own; while a return
to the early days of the party would
commit the Democracy to Imperialism
OF the most pronounced type George
Alfred Townsend, who is nothing if
not picturesque, and who does not ad-
mire Cleveland, says:

And further, it was voted down by the

pour in just the same, and perhaps a
little faster than under the program
announced. Bryan has a goodly num-
Der of followers, and there are others

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intlamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

1t is assumed by some of the Maine
newspapers that Hon. VIM c. Marshall
of this city is not to have. what he is
clearly entitled to by party usage, a
second term as State Assessor But we
can hardly credit that he is to lie turned
down simply to make place Cor another,
and that Waldo county is to be depriv-
ed of the only State Office it has held
for sixteen years. There has been no
question as to Mr. Marshall's abilities,
the office lie holds is not political one
and should not be subject to political
Influences; and the members of the
Legislature should think twice before
they act in this matter, which vitality
concerns the people of the whole State
