interests and those of all its citizens
under any and all circumstances;
therefore, it would accept no invita-
ton from any other government or
governments to become party to
negotiations having in view defini-
ton of the right of neutrals and an
agreement on what shall constitute
contraband of war. These things are
already sufficiently defined by inter-
national law and precedent to enable
any government, which dares to stand
up for it's rights, to maintain them.
Our representatives at the peace con-
ference, at The Hague, last year,
proposed that all private property
at sea should, in time of war, be re-
spected, but the conference declined
to agree to that proposal, and that
ended the matter.

and got his money, and then came d.
rectly to Haverhill. His reason for tell
ing the company that he sold his claim
for only 500, II he did so tell them, was
that he considered 1t none OF their bust
ness what he had received for 1t, inasmuch
as they had violated their contract and
left him without food in the wilds OF
Alaska.
Now for the last chapter. Mr.. Grim
min came to his old home in Eastbrook
for a we'll earned rest, and there he was
arrested on a special writ issued in behalf
OF said corporation for $4,000. He was
brought to Ellsworth, and very fooiishly
allowed himself to be placed upon the
rack for nearly whole day without
the aid OF counsel. Being in fear that
he could not furnish bond for
S25,0Oo, and would have to go to jail,
he finally offered 5000 in full settlement.
Then, after the mischief had been done,
he consulted me, and frankly told him
that in my opinion the company could
not recover a cent, and urged him not to
pay. He had make the offer, however,
and having anxiety to avoid publicity
and the ignominy of Jail confinement, he
made the payment despite my protest.
told him then that the whole proceed
ing was "bluh', and subsequent events
nave confirmed me In that opinion. He
feels now that he should have taken my
advice, but the incident is closed, and he
is now free to go back to the kiondike, II
he desires, without the incubus OF that
ineauitable, Shyleek contract hanging
about his neck. {. IA. DRUMMEY.

The election contest in Kentucky
eliminated in bloodshed yesterday,
when William Goebel, the democratic
contestant for the governorship, was
shot down at the capitol in Frankfort
and perhaps fatally wounded. This
outcome of the election difficulty is
regretted by both republicans and
democrats of the better class. 1t is
hard for the colder blooded people of
the North to realize the bitterness en-
gendered by an election fight in the
southern states, and criticism from
us is not competent. We can only ex-
press regret that such conditions ex-
list, and hope for better.

President Mckinley will, it is ex-
pected, shortly issue proclamation
offering an unconditional pardon to
such of the Philippine rebels as sur
render before a given date, and
giving notice that all found with arms
in their hands after that date, will be
considered brigands and outlaws, and
treated as such. This may cause a
few spasms among the "antis'', but it
is the right and proper thing to do.
There is no longer even an apol-
ogy for Filipino government, and
no organized force of any size any
where, and the peaceably inclined in
habitants are entitled to the protection
of this government, which can only be
made effectual by breaking up the
small roaming bands OF armed rebels
living by depreciation.

Presidential Electors Must All Be

To the Republicans of Maine Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, CORES pond.
ing to the two United States senator's, were
nominated IN state convention, and the remain.
the United States House of Representatives,
were nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passing of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that candi-
the whole State must be placed in nomination
by Convention representing no less a consiit-
uency than the whole State. Hence, all the
candidates of party for Presidential electors
must be nominated in State Convention. and
have therefore included in the call six electors.
