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 bv an infamed condition of the

having time to give the matter such in
vestigation as it required, ii advised Il
reference of the matter to the next Leg
islature. in order that better opportun-
ity might be afforded to accomplish the
desired reform. This was done. The
Legislature of 1889 put the matter in
such shape that at the coming election
in September. the people will vote upon
the question of adopting Constitutional
amendment giving the Legislature pow
er to establish the office of State audi
tor. If the people vote yes upon this
proposition, it is then in the hands of
the Legislature, and that body makes
the final decision for or against.
1T is evident that the more the people
think upon this question the more they
are becoming satisfied that a State au-
ditor is a necessity, and il is very much
to be regretted that the matter has in
any way become political question"

Mooselead Won't Be Stocked With
Perch This Year.
O I!look Is that Railroad Business Is at Hioh
Water Mark.

Hon. L. T. Carleton. chairman of the
fish and game commission, is enthusiasts
tic over the idea of stocking Moosehead
Lake with white perch But it is prob
able that nothing will be done in that
direction unless there is an unanimity
of opinion on that subject Moose
head is a large body of water" said
Mr.. Carleton, yesterday, land there are
a great many interests to be considered
Although the commissioners may be
personally in favor of the idea of stock
ing the pond they will not do anything
until every one is agreed If the lake
should be stocked il would do a great
deal toward increasing the popularity
Of Moosehead lake. What people want
to do is to catch fish. The season is
now passed when people can catch trout
ana if they could catch perch they
would be content. Then it is hard work
10 get trout. The perch can be taken
by nearly any one, is gamey and fur
nshes a great deal of sport. If the lake
were stocked with perch ii would make
it much more interesting for the people
at Moosehead.
Now take Lake Cobbosseecontee for
than ever before simply because there
are more people there. The people
were attracted because they can catch
fish. The women like TO fish as well as
the men and they are having their
share of the success. What is the re-
suit More cottages are being built
there than ever before and the place is
bound to be one OF the most popular
places in the State.
Maine has never had a more pros
porous season than this year. There
are more people here than ever before
People are beginning to wake up to
what there is in the good old State and
think | am safe in saying that this is
but a beginning.
Some of the people will remain in
Maine over until September that they
may have 4 chance at the deer shoot
ing. | have talked with great many
of the game wardens and they say that
they cannot see any falling off in the
number OF deer. This means a great
deal for there was never time when
deer We're so plentiful as last year. The
game Wardens say that the out-of-the-
State people are much pleased with the
opportunity that they have for shooting
deer in September. Many of the sports
men do not have chance to shoot
deer at any other time. 1t certainly
does the game interests no harm and it
brings great deal of money into the
State. The outlook now is that the
State will have another great game sea-
son. this year, as the deer will be fully
as plenty

The officers of the regiments will have
regular campaign suits for their work,
this year, the first having arrived. Sat
urday morning. 1t was the intention
Of Adjutant General Richards to have
all the men equipped with the uniforms
if possible, but owing to their not being
funds enough this was not possible, and
instead only those for the officers have
been ordered.
Had. Gen. Richards been able to pro-
cure the suits a most desirable uniform
would have been furnished. They are
cool, light and Yet strong and servic-
able. Better still they can be washed
when soiled and when they have gone
through the cleansing process they are
as good as new.
1t was the intention of the command
er-in-chief to have the men use these
uniforms when policing the camp and
doing other similar work. while the uni
forms would be saved for other regular
work of the camp.

Col E. c. Harrington, clerk to the
railroad commissioners, made the pre-
diction. Saturday, that this would be
the greatest year for railroads in the
history of the State. The flood Of sum-
mer travel has been enormous. In fact,
there has never been a time, unless
signs fail, when there has been so much
travel. In addition to that the freight
business during the first part of the
year and even until later was far
ahead of that of any year previous.
With these two things combined there
seems to be no reason why the showing
should not be something greater than
ever before.

and desiring, with all good citizens, the
highest welfare of this our common
fatheEland, recommends and Endorses the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That 1t is the duty of the
United States government to see that the
life and property Of its citizens are not
taken from them without due process Of
law, and to this end we shall solemnly
demand such national and constitutional
legislation as shall at least secure as
great protection from mob violence to
American citizens as Is today afforded
citizens of foreign countries resident
here. We affirm that the widespread
crime of lynching and intimidating per-
sons accused of lawbreaking, without af-
fording them judge, jury or legal trial, is
an offense against civilization which de-
mands punishment, and we believe that
1T lies in the power of congress to en-
act such reDressive legislation as shall
prevent justice in America from becom-
ing a byWord and mOckery,
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
prevalence Of crime in this land. AL
though we do not believe crime among US
is more usual than might justly be ex-
pected under the circumstances, yet we
recognize the necessity of making it far
less frequent than it is, and we heartily
condemn the thief, the despoiler of
homes and the degrader of womanhood,
be he white or black, high or low. V
Resolved, That the attitude of trades
unions and nearly all forms Of organized
labor toward Afro-American working
men is both shortsighted and cruel The
divine right to work ought not to be
taken from a people who have already
had so many rights stripped from them.
We recommend that a committee be ap-
pointed to wait upon the labor leaders
and the National Industrial commission

and seek by every effort to bring about
between white and Afro-American labor
ers that spirit of fraternity and coop
Grafton which is to the best interests of
both.
Resolved, That we are heartily grieved
that the president Of United States and
those in authority have not from time to
to time used their high station to voice
the best conscience of the nation in re-
gard to mob violence and the fair. treat
ment Of justly deserving men. It is not
right that American citizens should be
despoiled Of life and liberty while the
nation looks silently on. or that soldiers
who, with conspicuous bravery, offer
their lives for the country should have
their promotion result in practical dis
missa1 from the army.
Resolved, That we especially recon-
mend that Afro-Americans enter into
business life and seek to become fac
tors in the Industrial development of
cial1y to extend to mechanics, merchants
and inventors all possible aid and en-
couGagement.
Resolved. That the determination of
some persons to base the right of suf-
frage in the South on race rather than
on intelligence and property is dangerous
and un-American and bound to bear bit
ter fruit in the future, and we sincerely
trust that the good sense of the nation
and the wisdom Of its officers of justice
will prevent the further progress of this
fatal plan. 4
Resolved, That since we and our
fathers and our fathers fathers were
born on American soil, have taught and
bled for American liberty and have toll
ed for American wealth, it is just and
proper that we should enjoy the rights
and share the duties of American citi-
zens, and we declare it to be our I'M
alterable resolution to strive by all
power and manly means to vindicate
our privileges and fulfil our duties right
here in the land Of our birth.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1900-07-07

civilization fails of its purpose and the
ends Of government are subverted. Men
do not respect institutions that are not
potential in scope and execution. Paper
blockades are not recognized in the laws
of nations, nor are they respected by the
powers of the world. To receive recogni-
ton they must be effective in execution.
In every walk of life men want the thing
offered to be perfect sample as pat
tern of what is to follow.
BLOW AIMED AT CASTE.
The white people Of this country claim
to be superior to the Afro-American, and
the Afro-American demands proof Of that
superiority. The first attribute of SUI
perior nature is its consideration for the
weak and the humble.
Did the slave trader comply with that
condition when he separated husband and
Wife, violated the sanctity of the Afro
Americans fireside and tore the helpless
babe from its mothers breast and sold
him for sordid gold to distant parts
What wrong had the Afro-Annericanz done
him? What wrong does the Afro-Amer-
lean do him now?
Another evidence of superiority is to
suffer long and be patient. Had half the
insults and outrages heaped upon the At
ro-American people of this country by the
whites of a certain section been visited
BY Afro-American people OF that section
upon the whites. the land mad hardly
been able to contain the graves Of the
dead. For $50 years the Afro-American
women of the South were oppressed by
the best blood of that section, and the
mixed blood in our population is largely
due to that fact. They were then sowing
to the wind and now they are 'reaping
the whirlwind.' t&

the Afro-American had nothing Now

In no instance can it be pointed out
that the Afro-Americans have undertaken
to Interfere with the rights of other peo-
pie or to modest them in the er,ioyment
of their freedom.
THE GOLDEN. RULE HIS GUIDE.
The Afro-Arnefican has observed the
golden rule in that he conceded unto
others what he maintains for himself;
he upholds the doctrine taught by the
Declaration of Independence as he de-
tends the faith delivered unto the saints.
The constitution of the United States is
to him the bedrock upon which is found
ed all true civilization, and he wants it
enforced in its entirety. He seeks no
special privileges and asks no favors
All he wants is fair play, and this he
demands.
He has placed himself in line with the
best thought of the present day and he
now assumes to speak for himself and
to present his case to the American peo-
pie Having now complied with every
condition which our civilization imposes
upon him, he asks that that civilization
guarantee to him immunity from outrage

Of his freedom as member Of society.
