The county has an immense crop Of
potatoes growing. and the middle of

a condition of great promise The ques-
ton is whether this flOuriShing condi-

Aroostook isn't worrying herself just
now about anything in the wide world

fair because it doesn't rain, when it's

BIG JOE roR MINIS.

Tho mints OF the United States will
be busy for some time to come III un-
dertaking to carry out the provision
OF the act that has recently become a
law and that permits the Secretary OF
the Treasury to add s20,000,000 to the
stock OF subsidiary coinage. The
authority to coin silver OF the smaller
denominations has been obtained
specifically from time to time. but
has been restricted to smaller
amounts, the supporters Of the free
coinage Of silver having systematically
resisted the increase Of the supply OF
minor silver.
Director Of the Mint, Roberts, in
talking about the objects and useful.
ness OF the new act, as relating to
subsidiary silver coinage, said: @The
new monetary act. approved March
ii. authorizes an increase of about
s~2O,OOO,0OO in tho stock OF subsidiary
silver coin. The last authority for
the issue OF subsidiary silver was
given by a joint resolution, approved
July 81, 1876, i'll preparation for the
resumption OF specie payments. 1t
authorized the issue Of an amount
which, together with the fractional
paper currency outstanding, should
at no time exceed $50. 100000.
June 8, 1879, the act providing for
the redemption OF subsidiary silver il
lawful money was passed, and forth,
with our old quarters, dimes and
halves, which had been driven to the
West Indies and South America 10y
our paper money, began to return.
They were presented for redemp,
ton, until the Treasury held ovel
s30,000,000. In this way the $4,000,
600 limit was exceeded, for the treas
ury officials paid this stock out In the
regular curse OF business until il
WIS practically all absorbed.
The present stock in the countr,
thus reached about S80,0O0,O00 I'm
der the new law it may be slO0. 900,
600, and bullion purchased under the
Sherman act may be coined, The
new authority was sorely needed
and will scarcely suffice for the grow
ing needs OF the country more thar
five or six years.

THE nAwA11AN ELECTION.

The following Honolulu dispatch
Of the 9th gives the result Of the
election in the Hawaiian Islands for

r. W. Wilcox, the independent roy
alist candidate, has been elected Ha-
waiian delegate to Congress by a
small majority v o. Samuel Parker,
tho Republican candidate. Ills strong
vote among the natives in IL outside
districts carried the day against the
whites aud intelligent native voters
Of the city.
News Of the results OF the election
brought to Honolulu thus morning by
steamers carrying returns from the
other islands produced much depres-
sion among all whites, as Wilcox WINS
strongly opposed by Republicans and
Democrats alike. His campaign was
an anti-white canvass, with promises
or the part Of some Of his campaign
workers that il he were elected,
Queen Liliuokalani would be replac.
ed on the throne. The result OF the
vote shows the native bitterness over
annexation to be still alive.
The Republicans carried Honolulu
and the island Of Oahu for Parker by
2l0 plurality. The Democratic candi.
date, Prince David Kawanankoa, re.
ceived only about one-third as many
votes as Parker. 1t is reported that

STILL OPPOSES 1MrEn1AL1sM

Edwin Burritt Smith, who has
been the directing force in the anti.
imperialistic movement in the west
and one OF the leaders in the oppo.
sition to the policy OF Mckinley in
the issues growing out OF the Spanish
American war, regards the election
as fixing upon the American govern
ment the retention OF the Philippines
and that the struggle will not be
shifted from seeking the abandon
ment Of the colonial policy to that
OF securing for the natives of the is.
lands the liberty and powers granted
by the constitution. He said:
@The anti. imperialists regret that
tho country has voted to approve the
colonial policy. We know that many
who voted Tor McKinley's reelection
are at heart opposed to this policy;
they have, however, voted to approve
it. No other construction will be
placed upon their act by the anminis'
tration, no other can be placed upon
it.
aThere are still those who desire to
hold the United States true to their
course They will still fight to pre-
serve constitutional liberty. The
monstrous proposition that Congress
may exercise any authority whatever
outside OF the constitution will not
be allowed to prevail without further
protest.
The. Republican party is dominated
by special interests. These interests
have won a notable victory and viii
no doubt use it TO strengthen their
grip upon the government. They
will use their power to make it more
difficult to dislodge them. Sooner OF
latter the people will make a sue
cessful attempt to gain control of the

rule that a certain class OF his pa
tients should pay in advance.
One winters night he was reused
by two farmers from a hamlet ten

to the other doctor, but they refused,
saying they would prefer hi services.
1Very we'll" replied The medico, ain

Tho men demonstrated, but the
doctor was obdurate, and shut down
his window. He waited. however, to
hear what they would pay. "Well,
what will We do now?" asked the
farmer whose wife was ill. And the
the reply that a given must have
