Rev. Talmage give the following
sensible reasons why skepticism ex.
lists among newspaper men: One Of
the greatest trials of the newspa-
per profession is that its members
are compelled to see more of the
world than other professions,
Through all newspaper offices, day
after day passes all the wickedness
of the world, all church chickering's,
all vanities that want to be repair
ed, all mistakes that want to be
corrected, all the dull speakers that
want to be eloquent, all the mean
ness that wants to get its name
noticed gratis in its columns, in or
der to save the tax advertising col
umn; all the men that want to be
set right; all the crackbrained phil
osophers with stories as long as
their hair and as gloomy as their
faces. Through the editorial and
reportorial rooms all the follies and
shames of the world are seen, day
after day, and the temptations is
to believe in neither God nor man.
1t is no surprise to me that in this
profession there are skeptics, I only
wonder that journalist believe any

Spain's entire absence from the
operations in China shows the effect
of her recent war with the United
States. Before that war Spain
ranked in the family of nations close
to France and Germany. The ut
ter destruction of her navy and the
loss of all her colonial possessions
have changed her into a second
class power. The enforced seclu-
sion in which Spain keeps at pres
ent bids fair to have a wholesome
effect on her national life. Her in
ability to mingle with world politics
allows her to concentrate all her
energies on the up-building of her
home possessions, the promotion of
manufactures and the repair of
governmental machinery which has
been deteriorating for centuries

Mrs. Betsey Maxheld died Friday at her
home in Lamoine, near Marlboro, at the
age Of ninety four years, six months. Mrs.
Maxfield retained her faculties to Il re-

posted ON current events by having the
papers read to her.
She lived with her grandson, Seth
Hodgkins, who, with his wife, has been
devoted to her interest and comfort.
Mrs. Maxfield was pensioner from the
Mexican war.
The funeral was held from the East La

Roosevelt's One Speech.

Some of the democratic newspapers
have been attempting to ridicule the
lone speech which Gov. Roosevelt
has been making during his tour in
the West.
There is only one republican speech
this year. 1t varies according to the
intellectual grasp or the rhetoric of
the individual speaker, but in sub
stance it is always the same, because
never in any section of the Union does
it slur any part OF the republican
platform. In every republican speech
will be found plea for these three
things: Loyalty to the flag, preserva-
ton of national credit, inviolability
of the courts. II follows as a matter
of course that all republican speeches
are alike.
In the democratic speeches, on the
contrary, is found a wonderful dis
similitude. In one portion of the
country we find the democratic orators
trying TO hide the issue which is de-
clared by their brethren in another
section to be paramount. Out West
they will tell you about the trust oc-
topus. In New York, where the ice
trust has frozen up the founts
of trust oratory, they parade the hol-
low bugaboo of expansion and i'm
perialism. In the silver states they
talk about is to 1; in the financial
centres they say the silver issue does
not enter into the. campaign. No
wonder the democratic papers like
variety.

Alive to the Situation.

Republican apathy is now a dream
of the past. The campaign is in full
swing all over the country, and from
almost every state comes the same
story-republican activity and deter
mination to win by larger majority
in the electoral college than in 1896,
and to elect majority of the House.
With the coming of republican ac-
tivity the doubt about Congress
there has never been any doubt about
the election of Mckinley and Roose-
velt-disappeared like frost in the
morning sunshine. AS in 1896, the
business element of the country is
with the republicans, and no candi-
date solidly supported by that ele-
ment has ever been defeated. 1t was
because this element refused to recog-
nize the danger that there was a
doubt about Congress, but it is now
thoroughly aroused and working

Ellsworth schooner Wrecked.

The Ellsworth schooner eastern
Queen, Capt. Ernest Ray, is ashore on
Trundy's reef, near Cape Eliza beth, Port

Boston for Gardiner, light. She was
caught outside Cape Elizabeth in the
sudden easterly gale Friday evening, and
was driven on the reef while trying to
make the harbor. Capt. Ray and crew
were taken ashore In breeches buoy by
the life-saving crew.
The schooner was sixty-eight gross
tons, and was built at Eden in 1871. She
was owned by the Donald Stuart heirs OF
Ellsworth. The Ellsworth owners say
the vessel is wreck. She will be stripped
Of sails and rigging. A. D. Stuart is now
