A Warning.

Attorney General Sheets, of Ohio, in an ar-
gument before the supreme court of that state,
sounded note of warning that should be heed
ed. He said:
"All over this country there is unrest, and
the money-grabbers are responsible for it. Itis
such defiance of law as is being exhibited by
Rockefeller that is prompting tue mutteriugs Of
thousands that this is government of the rich,
and these people have reached point where
they are ready for a riot, if only leader will
call upon them"

THE CLOSING OF THE KLONDIKE.

The Topeka Capital of May 25tl contains a
telegram from Leavenworth, which SAID that
the Klondike saloons, brothels and gambling.
helis were in full blast-had been for two days
and would continue couple OF days longer,
aud that more liquor was sold there in two days
than for long time
After the saloons, etc., had secured all the
money the old soldiers had to spend, no doubt,
Governor Stanley's "Man Friday" at Leaven-
worth, 'T.awyer Dawes, who works his jaws,
made trip to Topeka to "assure" Stanley that
the Klondike had been "closed" agaln-when
it got ready toqclose.
This reminds us of conversation we had
with Leavenworth citizen the other day. He
said the Klondike is triangular tract of land,
and, with pencil, he made diagram like
this:

Hogs.

Some people are as selfish and unfair as a
hog in swill-trough and just about as loath-
some. The same may be said of some nations.
The Rockefellers samples of the hog in
individuals, and Great Britain, in her govern
ing class, is fair sample of the hog in nations.
To make myself little palmer, will say
that the buttermilk in the swill-trough is for
the whole herd, but have never known a hog,
in long acquaintance-well-bre or il-bred,
razoi back or Poland China-that would not
take the whole feed, even though it busted his
stomach and cracked his hide.
England wants the earth and the fullness
thereof. Likewise, Mark Hanna.
Hog is behind the Philippine wal, pushing
on its atrocities. Hog is behind the Boer war.
ANY man who believes that benevolence re-
lip,on is thought of in either war is too green
for good hay.
1t is not to be supposed that the hog is not
malignant. Unadulterated selhshness is about
the worst form OF malcvolence. 1t is not too
much to say that for rulers to take their able
bodied men for soldiers and tax their poor for
funds with which to destroy the poor of some
other nation DreatneS the SplIlt Vi puIc ueViI-
ishness, since, in such war, only few can
escape either death privation. Put it in
other words The horrors and burdens of war
fall with greatest severity upon the poor, both
of the victorious and the vanquished.
Njnety-nne hundredths of Americans cannot
possibly be benefited by our war with the Fill
,pinos, and nearly all our people are, and will
be, injured in some respect. 1t remains to be
seen whether American government over the
Philippines will prove to be blessing to the
inhabitants. If the government should be set
up by hogs, and maintained by hogs, for the
benefit of hogs it would far better for that
people never to have been born.
Where war is started in the interest OF
greed and aggrandizement, the big hogs will
always be found lengthwise in the milk-trough,
excluding the weaker members of the herd
from the benefits of the nourishing and refresh
ing drink.
We Americans are likely to deprive the Fill
ipinos of not only their trough, but also their
milk, because, SO far as I can see, the hogs are
in the swil-tlough up to their eyes.

"Now," said he, "that triangue represents
the Klondike, and the straight mark to the
right represents the row of houses across the
road from the Klondke. When Buck Dawes
went after the Klondke CATER the saloons
got all the old soldiers money!, he failed to see
the row of saloons across the road from the
Klondike, and they ran right along, without
let or hiudrance He never made any effort to
close the saloons in that row. Yet, the papers
were full of how Stanley and Dawes CLOSED
the KIondike'." And the Ieavenworth man
gave snort of indignation.
And that is the way our dear, good Sunday
school governor "worked" the people-no,
TRIED to work them.

DR.. Sargent's New Invention.

One of the cleverest things in the physical
culture line is DR.. Sargent's new invention,
the '1nomotor.' This machine Dr. Sargent
exhibited before the Boston Physical Edu-
catiOnal Society in the early part of the week
The object of the invention is to bring about
a better development of the body than can
be done by the old forms of apparatus 1t
is good deal like a sliding rowing seat in
appearance, and is intended to impel boats,
carriages and bicycles by means of arm and
leg power The operator sits on sliding
seat, puts his feet in a sliding boot rest and
lever IN If each hh aq and with with
can send the machine ahead at a great rate
of speed, with little expenditure of force.
1t can be used by local muscles or by all at
once, and is thus a better developer than
even running or rowing. DR.. Sargent show
ed the uses of the lnomotor in propelling
boats and the like. An exhibition will be
given the University shortly. But until a
thoroughly practical test has been made of
the machine, no well grounded views as to
its practicability can be safely advanced.

That the canteen is a benefit to disci-

of the officers many of them total alb
stainers. At hearing before the Sen
ate committee on military affairs, Dec.
18th, Archbishop Ireland and Bishop
McGoldrick were heard, and both prel-
ates expressed the opinion that the
canteen is in the interests of temper
ance and good morals in the army.
Archbishop Ireland based his remarks
especially upon his observation of af-
fairs at Fort Smelling, near his home at
St. Paul. He said that he was sure
from all that he had seen and heard
among the soldiers that the canteen is
a powerful factor in the protection of
the soldiers from outside temptations
of all kinds, and he did not accept the
theory that the canteen brings tempta-
ton to the troops that otherwise would
not come to them. He said: Il am
myself a total abstainer, but when it
comes to dealing with the people at
large, l think the only satisfactory and
successful way is to eliminate the dan
ger as far as possible and to reduce
drinking to the minimum-to advocate
moderate temperance

Among the many things that Maine
people have to be proud Of is the fact
that, although not generally known, the
great Boston egg market looks to this
State for the best eggs they handle, and
although they do not receive as many
as they should, each year the supply is
on the increase, and we hope the time
is not far distant when Boston will feel
that she can make as heavy drafts as
she pleases on the Maine poultrymen

The Big Elms of Waldo County

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
In an article a few weeks ago | spoke
of the breaking down of a branch of a
large elm tree that overhung the roof
of the dwelling of Mr. c. II. Cargill in
Liberty village, and incidentally men
toned that this tree was probably the
largest in Waldo county, and possibly in
the State. And then comes North
Searsport and broadly hints that the
honor does not belong to Liberty, but to
that vicinity and calls for dimensions.
The fact that the North Searsporter did
not send the dimensions of his big tree
shows that he is a little shaky. |
gladly give him the dimensions of our
big tree, not claiming that it has the
largest trunk-fof this tree is but fifty
years old while there are many that are
a hundred-but that it exceeds in height
and large spread of branches and shades
more ground than any other tree in
Waldo county. Hoping this will call
out through the columns of The Jour
nal the bigness of all the big elms in
Waldo county, l heartily say, Come
on McDuff"
The diameter of the trunk of this
tree is but feet inches Its height is
GA feet. and the spread of the branches
is 80 feet. This tree was perfect in
form until it lost one of it's branches in
the recent ice storm. In this branch
there was nearly a cord of wood, and
some estimate that the remainder of
the tree would make four cords of
wood
1t is an easy matter to measure the
tree by its shadow-a rule used by old
lumbermen, but not generally by the
people here, at least. Now is a good
time, as the shadow on the white snow
is very plain. The shadow is longest
and most perfect about o'clock P. NJ.
Take a pole of known length-a ten
foot pole is best-place the pole in an
upright position, or on the same angle
with the surface of the earth as is the
tree, and measure the length of the
shadow, then measure the shadow of
the tree, multiply the length of the
shadow of the tree by the length of the
pole, and divide by the length of the
shadow of the pole. The product will
be the height of the tree. Ye men
from North Soarcp opd RrooEc fry
it, and give results. J.O.J.

Among the tens of thousands who have

The Best Plaster.
A piece of flannel dampened with Cham

troubled with lame back or pains in the side
or chest, give it trial and you are certain
relief which it affords. Pain Balm also
