Dean, with Miss Annie Haynes as book
keeper.
To the rear of the business depart.
ment is the editorial room. This
apartment affords Editor G. W. Downey
a very pleasant and cosy room in which
to perform his duties with THE REPUB-
LICAN and The CAPITAL. The room
is 12xl4 and besides other furniture
contains the files of the two papers.
A door on the west opens into the work
room, with q floor space of 27x77. In
this room the entire plant of the COM

Next comes the news department,
where the type is set for the daily and
weekly, managed by Earl Brown.
There are four people employed in the
news department. Across the alley on

Kentucky it not occupying very cred
liable position before the world Just now.
Shooting man down in cold blood from
ambush is hardly in accord with the high
pretenslons of Southern chivalry. Yet
that was the fate of Goebel, the would be
dictator of the State of Kentucky. This
crime, meets with condemnation every
where, from men of all parties, yet was
conduct of the victim The Boston Ira
weller says of GoebeI:
His record is about as black, personally
and politically, as it could be. He has
committed murder and his crimes against
the law, cloaked under a thin veil of hyp-
ocritical semblance of law, have been fla
grant and many man named Sanford,
oDe OF bis own party, who could not
stomach his disreputable methods, was
deemed dangerous by Goebel. SO when
he met him in the street one day he shot
him, screening his pistol behind a coat
held upon his arm. Sanford was not even
armed, yet Goebels plea that he acted in
self-defense was accepted by Kentucky
''justice,' and he went free to terroriZe
the State, while the widow of his victim
was secluded in an insane asylum.
The New York Tribune says in an edi-
torial on the shooting of Goebel:
The dispatches permit us to believe
that the guilt rests on a single individual,
and that he will be condemned by the
proper tribunal to pay the fitting penalty
with the unanimous approval of dis
tracted Commonwealth. Nevertheless it is
just and necessary to say that in a true
sense Goebel is responsible for the act of
which he is the victim and for which he
had, indeed, personally set precedent.
He has been long and assiduou>ly engag-
ed in an attempt to murder the State. He
framed and passed the law which he
thought would make it easy to steal
victory at the polls; having done that, he
actually stole the nomination for Govern
or, and then, disappointed in his calcula-
lions, he set out to procure by means of a
subservient Legislature, of doubtful legit-
imacy at BEST spurious title to the of
flee " hich the people and the courts had
denied him Public opinion is so consti-
tuted that to the majority his crime prob
able seems less atrocious chan that of the
man who sought to take his life; but in
the prevalence Of the sentiment which
sanctions that false estimate lies the
greatest danger to republican institutions.
If they are to survive the perils which
not merely threaten bit encompass them
different standard OF judgment must be
established, and otfenses that are now too
generally deemed trivial must be recog-
nzed as enormous.

Mothers Fool.

sc lis plain to me" said the farmers wife,
"These boys will make their mark in life;
They never were made to handle hoe,
And at once to college they ought to go.
Yes, John and Henry, it's clear to me,
Great men in this world are bound to be;
But Tom he's little above fool
So john and Henry must go to school,"
"Now, really, wife," quoth Farmer Brown,
AS he set his mug OF cider down,
tom does more work in day for me
Than both of his brothers do in three
Book learnin' will never plant beans or
corn,
Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you're born,
Nor mend a rood of broken fence.
For my part, give me common sense"
But his wife the roost was bound to rule,
And so "the boys" were sent to school,
While Tom, of course was left behind,
For his mother said he had no mind.
Five years at school the students spent,
Then each one into business went.
John learned to play the flute and fiddle,
And parted his hair {of course) in the mid

than he,
And hung out his shingle, H. Brown, M )"
Meanwhile, at home, their brother Tom
Had taken notion into his head,
Though he said not word, but trimmed his
trees,
And hoed his corn. and sowed his peas;
But somehow, either hy 'shook or crook"
He managed to read full many book.
Well, the war broke out. and Capt Tom

And when the enemy's flag went down,
Game marching home as Gen. Brown"
But he went to work on the farm again,
Planted his corn and sowed his grain,
Repaired the house and broken fence,
And people said he had common sense"
Now common sense rather rare,
And the State house needed portion there,
So our ''familv Ounce moved into town,
And people called him "Gov. Brown"
And his brothers, that went TO the city te
school,
Came home to live with "mothers fool"

1t has been extensively announced that
The Topeka Daily Capital is on Marc b
18th to be placed under the editorial and
business management of Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon, author of Gin His Steps, or
What Would Jesus Do?' Mr.. Sheldon,
it is said, has for a long time desired to
test the value of his ideas about newspa-
per management and now is to have the
opportunity AS an advertising scheme,
for Mr.. Sheldon and for the newspaper in
question, the venture will no doubt prove
success, but whether any permanent
good will accrue to The Topeka Capital
is problematical to say the least. Nor do
we believe that any good will result n
other directions. The experiment has
been tried before, with abundant capital.

Pettigrew continues to make an exhibit
ton of himself in the United States Sen
ate, and has about exhausted the patience
of his colleagues. In a debate last week
the South Dakota agitator was treated to
expressions of opinion upon his personal
conduct which the courtesy of the Senate
usually leaves unspoken. Two Senators,
HaVley and Sewall, stigmatized him as
traitor and it was spread upon the Record
that to his pestifeIous utterances the
continuation of the instruction in the
Philippines was partly due, and that the
blood of Lawton and other American sol
diers was OH his hands, But Pettigrew
has the hide of a rhinoceros and the
cheek of highwayman' mule, and ''com-
piments'' of this kind disturb him but lit =
tie. A Washington special to the Boston
journal says: Leading Republican Sena-
tors have come to the conclusion that it
is time to treat Pettigrew as a public
nuisance, whose sole purpose in the Sen
ate is to annoy and harass the Govern :
ment in its effort to suppress instruction
and who no longer represents anybody
but himself

John F. knowlton, Esq.

Al the January term of the Supreme
Court in Ellsworth three candidates were
examined for admission to the bar all passing
creditable examinations. Que was a Waldo
County man, and the Ellsworth American

John F. Knowlton was born at Montvile,
Waldo county, March 10, 1886. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools of his native
town, and at the East Maine Conference
Seminary in Bucksport He began active
life a school teacher, teaching his first
district school before he was seventeen
years of age. He taught several terms dur
ing his seminary course. In March, 1876 he
took charge of the commercial department
at the seminary, teaching civil governme MT,
political economy, English, and other
branches outside the commercial work
After year at Franklin, n H., and IA year
and half at Rock port, in which places he
was employed AS bookkeeper, he returned to
the Bucksport Seminary and again took
charge OF the commercial department. He
continued with the Seminary until JAY,
1880, when he was appointed clerk of courts
i'll Hancock county, tn fill tie vacancy caus
ed by the resignation of III. b. Saunders, who
bad been appointed U. 5. marshal for the
district of Maine. In the fall of the same
year Mr., Knowlton was elected to the office

At recent meeting of the executive
committee of the DirIeo Federation at the
Parker House, Boston, it was voted as the
sentiment OF the meeting that the first
week of July, 1900, is the best time for
the home coming and that a grand rally
and movement be entered upon to induce
every Maine born resident of Massachu-
sets or Of any other State to leave his
duties for that week and meet his friends
and acquaintance amid the old scenes.
President Hayes, Secretary A. S. Pennock
and Messrs. Deering, Hasty and Cheney
were chosen as a committee of the Pine
Tree Club of Boston and are to report lat
er. Portland, Lewiston and Poland Springs
were suggested as rallying points, and it
is thought that the Pine Tree Clubs of
Massachusetts, will come in a body to the
old Pine Tree State and make the season
one of the most notable in the history of
Maine. The proposed Old Home Week
for Maine has been received with enthu-
siasm every where, but it rests with the
towns and cities to make it success.

bravery of the British troops, officers and

been superior to that of the enemy. While
there can be no doubt as to the result, this
