q good time to tell the truth.


In an interview in the Kansas City
Times a few weeks ago Judge A. NJ.
Jackson, a Democratic aspirant for con-
gressional honors IN the Third district,
deried the contention Of Populists that
they largely outnumber the Democrats
in this state. He also told how regu-
larly and Loyalty the Democrats of the
Sixth district had supported the Popu-
list nominees for congress in that dis
trict.
Such statements as these can only
arouse the ire of we'll informed Populists
and thus tend to the defeat of the cause
of fusion
The last test of strength was had in
1894, when that great Democratic leader,
David Over1nyer, was candidate for
governor, and Bill Sapp, now president
OF the Sunhower league, ran for congress
in the Third district. Mr.. 0vermeyer
received about $4,000 votes and Lew
cling received considerably more than
100, 900 votes. Mr.. Sapp received less
than ? 100 votes in the Third district, the
Populist candidate received about Io. 900,
and the Republican candidate about
2I,ooo. The Populist and Democratic
vote combined would have defeated the
Republican candidate by several hun
dred majority.
In the Sixth district the Democrats
have for several years put up a candidate
of their own. In 1896 J. c. Burton was
their candidate, receiving I,547 votes.
The Populist candidate received 1921
the Republican I6, 100, giving the small
majority Of 5S4 to the Populist. Not
withstanding the scant majority and the
very small number of Democrats in the
district they persisted in running a sep
arate candidate in 1898. This year the
Democrats received 1884, and the Pop,
ulists I4,732. Thus the district was
given to the Republicans by the Demo-
Gratis, for had the latter voted with the
Populists Mr.. Mccormick would have
been reelected by majority of 234.
With these facts of recent history in
their minds the Populists of Kansas are
not disposed to concede everything to
the Democrats. We are as anxious for
Brvans election as the Democrats, md
our congressman will support President
Bryans reform measures as earnestly IS
will Democratic congressman. Therefore,
since we have by far the larger vote in
Kansas why should our Democratic
friends make such heavy claims? If
spoils and emoluments are TO be con-
sidered these claims appear all the more
unjust to Populists since the Democrats
are to receive the federal patronage.
The conditions in the Seventh district
are different from those in the Third and
Sixth districts. Here the Democrats
have Loyalty supported our congressional
candidate in five consecutive campaigns.
Besides, they have presented to us this
year man of exceptional ability and
purity of character; a progressive re-
former; a man who would be an honor
to the people, man who would be all
honor to the state; man who is in per-
feet harmony with the reform forces on
the burning questions Of the day.
The Democrats in this district are not
unreasonable in asking for congressman,
and should the Democrats Withdraw
their claims in the Third and Sixth dis
tricts Populists will certainly concede
them the Seventh.

Carnegie believes in trusts. Says
they are good for the poor and that every
attempt to monopolize the manufacture
of any staple article carries within its
bosom the seeds of failure. Wait until
the campaign is on and Carnegie and
others help to raise Republican CAM
paign fund of fifty to one hundred
million dollars to buy McKinlev's re-
election then Republican papers and
speakers will take up this refrain and
attempt to make voters believe that a
few more years of trusts and Republican
rule and all Of the present evils will have
solved themselves.

ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.7

Auburn, September 25.-The west
bound freight number forty y-eight on the
Maine Central Was badly wrecked early
this evening at point near the bridge
over Turner street. This train is one of
the heaviest on the road consisting to-
night Of rorty-six cars heavily loaded. 1t
Is customary to make the train up in
Lewiston, the loaded cars from Auburn
being run over to Lewiston and attached
to the train there, which is then run
through Auburn without stopping, In
order TO get speed to carry them up the
grade just outside the city. The train left
Lewiston soon after the arrival of the
evening passenger train from the west.
just after leaving the bridge across the
Androscoggin and while running at a
considerable headway the train broke
apart. The air brakes on the forward
section were set by the break while the
rear section kept on at full speed. The
result was a bad pile up.
The first car wrecked was a Bangor
and Aroostook car loaded with apples
which was forced from the rails and fell
over the embankment west of Turner
street. This car was complete wreck
Next to this was another Bangor and
Aroostook car loaded with cloth from the
Lewiston mills. This car was badly
splintered and the end toward Lewiston
was telescoped and crushed by the two
cars next to it. A Boston and Maine car
behind the b. 4 A. was crushed under
a Lehigh Valley car, the cars being COM
pletely pushed through each other. The
Lehigh Valley car was loaded with local
freight from the shoe shops and mills and
the b. & M. with cream, milk and but
ter, from the Turner Centre creamery, the
cream from the latter car being scattered
to the four winds ofsheaven. The car
next behind the Lehigh Valley was prac-
tically unlnjured although 1T stood in the
midst of the wreck, just at the end of
the overhead bridge on Turner street,
towards the Auburn station. Next to
this two cars, one an Illinois Central
and the other Red Star car, formed an
inverted V in the centre of the bridge,
the point of the V being fully twenty
feet above the level Of the track. The
two cars were held in position by the
unfniured cars at either end and were
prevented from toppling into the street
by the sides of the bridge. These cars
| were pushed completely Unrough the top
frame work of the bridge. The Illinois
Central car was loaded with shoes from
the Auburn shops and the other with
shirts from a Lewiston factory. Several
boxes of the latter were dumped in the
street below. The remaining cars of the
train were practically uninjured. A
wrecking train was sent for and the work
of clearing the wreck was Immediately
begun. 1t is feared that If the two cars
standing on the bridge should drop from
their position that they will carry the
bridge down with them. The wreck will
probably not be cleared until tomorrow
noon and trains Will be delayed. IU is
impossible at this time to estimate the
damages but they win probably be very
large as the train was loaded with
valuable freight. Fortunately there was
no one injured.

China, September 24.-The postofdce in
this place was entered by burglars last
night, and robbed of a small quantity of
money and postage. They drilled hole
in the safe near the lock, with the evil
dent intention of blowing it open, but
seem to have been frightened away before
accomplishing their object. Powder was
found on the floor near the safe. They
also attempted to enter the stores of Rowe
Brothers and w. X. Ward.
Mr.. Washburn, the postmaster, is also
town treasurer, but the town safe is in
another room, which the burglars did not
enter.

Baker. ID. ID. After the report OF the cor
responding secretary and necrologist, w.
T. Hubbard, Esq, of Bangor, made the

1T was voted that the treasurer square up
all outstanding accounts against the con-
ference also that the treasurer be paid a
salary of twenty-five dollars per year.
Rev. w. A. Robbins of Gardiner from
the Maine Free Baptist association, Rev.
Mr.. Wyman of Augusta, from the Maine
Baptist association, II. E. Dunnack of
Augusta from the Maine Methodist con-
ference were received, each bringing a
message Of cooperation and goo1 cheer.
Seven ministers who have come into the
Maine field during the past year were
then presented. Rev. III. L. PringIe in
his report on Sunday observance was
not one who minced matters. He lays
the break down of Sunday observance to
two causes. One the diminished respect
for the divine Sabbath and the other to
the demand for Sunday employment.
He says the railroad is at the bottom
of it and does more against the proper
observance OF the Sabbath than any other
two cases.
If it wasn't for the railroads, the Sun
day malls, newspapers and excursions
couIdn t be kept up. 70 remedy this he
suggests law making it misdemeanor
for railroad to reduce fares on Sunday,
Furnishing all infractions by heavy fine.
