Catarrh of the lungs is, ordinarily,
known as consumption; also called
tuberculosis. In these cases the catarrh
has usually found its way into the lungs
by the gradual extension of the disease
from the throat through the bronchial
tubes. Consumption is the natural
termination of all cases of neglected
chronic catarrh. Every one who is
afflicted with chronic catarrh is liable
to be attacked with consumption at any

Certain it is that Whitefield is one of
the most prosperous towns in the whole

What is the total town and city debt
of the State? asked the journal of Sec
rotary Plunisner while talking of the
Whitefied matter.
We have no msnner of knowing that.
The assessors are all asked, but some
make no returns. Where there is no debt
they say nothing and where there is they
at times omit it. so we never foot these
columns in our report though we give the
returns of debts so far as they are re-
ceived."
! The report shows that on the average
the debt of the cities is larger according
"a the valuation than in the towns, but
the total of all is not given.

Fam property is improving in Maine :
remarked Secretary Plummer. Friday.
Il find. that the chance of purchasing
farm property is not SO great. The farm
erS are Becoming more prosperous. Their
branch of industry looks brighter, so they
are not so eager To sell This assists in
raising the values.
In connection with this the words of
Secretary NJ. n. Rich of the State board
of trade, given by him, last week, on
this same subject tell a story of the good
the summer visitors are doing to farm
property values.
He said that one pleasant feature Of
the new year is the evident and marked
advance in farm property, and the fact
that many farms on the market for ~
years have recently been sold at good
prices These farms are. as a rule, with
in 20 miles OF the city of Portland. and,
in general. have been purchased by men
who will give their personal attention to
their cultivation.

greatly within a year or two by the de-
sire of residents of other states to own
summer homes here. He spoke of one in

Mich. the Champion Iron and Steel
company conducts a four-mill plant
in independence from the American
Tin Plate company, and our inforna- :
ton is that its operations are fully
up to the expectations of the foun-
ders. Let the Times disprove this
If 1t can. We do not, in this connec-
tion, include the twenty-mill plant
now in process of construction at
Sharon, Pa, for the reason that this
has not yet been put intue operation.
The men concerned in 1t. however,
are practical business men. possess
ing ample capital and the fact that
they are willing to invest this capital
in so large a plant justifies the infer
ence that they know what they are
about.
We have no doubt that the election
Of Bryan, now happily improbable,
would seriously interfere with, IL not
effectually prevent. TIE completion of
the local tin plate enterprise. The
gentlemen who have subscribed to the
capital stock of this plant have had
experience with Democratic times, and
1t has convinced them that Demo-
cratic national administration Is un.
favorable to business prosperity. 1t
will be remembered that it was only
a short time ago that the Democratic
campaign orators were ridiculing the
possibility of establishing success
full tin plate industry in the United
States. Everybody recollects their de-
risive howls, at the tin plate schedule
of the Mckinley tariff bill. The
Democratic orators and editors this
year do not contend that it is impos-
sible to establish successful tin plate
industries in the United States, be-
cause the fact of the establishment
of such industries is too manifest for
contradiction. Like their complaints
at the Spanish-American war, the
present burden of their comment is
that the American tin plate industry
has been too successful. Years ago
they said no tin plate company could
form and do business at a profit in
the United States. Now they COM
plain that the consolidated company
which has grouped together large
number of tin plate mills scattered
about the country, is making too
much profit and doing too much busi-
ness.
1t must be clear from these prem.
ises that in Democratic eyes prosper
ity is an objectionable crime.

A National Office.

"HE SUCCESSFUL working
out of the splendid policies
Il of administration which
have been instituted dur
ing the first term of William Mckinley
requires more than Mr.. McKinley's re-
election. Without a congress in politi-
cal sympathy with him the president OF
the United States is powerless and at,
the mercy of political opponents more
concerned with the manufacture OF
partisan capital than with the pros
perty and development Of the country.
The indications, at this time, are that
William Mckinley will be reelected by
a larger majority, both of the vote in
the electoral college and of the popu-
lar vote, than was cast for him four
years ago. If the election of congress
men We're at large instead of by separ-
ate districts this triumph of the presi-
dental nominee would insure con-
gress to work in unison with him; but
by our method of electing congressman
disturbance in special localities and
disappointments growing out of pa
tronase distribution cOmplicate the
problem with factors that have no
proper bearing on the principles at
stake. In too many districts the office
of congressman is looked upon as a
local spoil, when in fact it is essen
TALLY national in its significance and
bearing. The congressman from a
given district represents more than
,niN Of hn to-, 4,
and the influence of his official action
extends far beyond the boundaries of
his district. The effect of his vote at
Washington reaches every portion of
the United States and affects every
citizen. This is especially true when
few votes practically exercise the
balance of congressional power.
These considerations should enter
into the minds of a citizen when de-
termining how he should cast his bal
lot for this office. If he is mindful Of
the public welfare, and if he wants to
see the man of his choice for president
supported by majority In congress
which will enable that man to carry out
his policies of government, he will not
permit any merely local prejudice or
personal ill-feeling to sway him, and
above all he will not select the nomi-
nee of his party for this important ma
tional office as the proper target for
personal attack. To do SO would be in
consistent with his support of the head
of the national ticket.
