A NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER
Makes It's Appearance in Cur Sister City
Gardiner.

Gardiner Me-, Aug. s.-A small. four
page paper calling itself ''The Cam
paisn News" and devoted to the
furtherance of Democratic interests,
of its space not utilized for advertising
matter is devoted to criticisms of Con-
gresham Burleigh and local Republi-
can workers in connection with the
Gardiner post office appointment. The
names of the publishers or editors are
not given: but it is generally under
stood here that there are two leading
spirits behind it.
One is n prominent local Democrat
who. for personal reasons, was much
disappointed in the outcome of the
Gardiner post office matter, and has
been an active, if not directing fac
gresham. which ii has been attempted
to wage from here.
The other is a former Republican,
who is said to feel that his party mis-
used him and disresarded his. qualities
Of leadership in failing to make him

of the appointment of the present en-
eumbent, Hon. ]. W.. Wakefield Of
Bath. For some reason ne has seemed
disposed to hoid Hon. ]. II. Marley
and Governor Burleigh responsible for
the disappointment of his ambition.
While the Gardiner post office matter
VIII not be the largest issue in the
pending national campaign, the editors
of The Campaign News" are evidently
determined 10 work it for. all it, is
worth. and 70 make up in vigor and
venom whatever their publication may
lack in freshness and interest The
paper has occasioned considerable
amusement in Republican circles here

There Is no doubt that the great con-
tests OF this session Of Congress Will
come In the consideration Of the canal
ana shipping bills Both coasts of the
country are al last alive to the fact That
the building OF the canal only em-
phaszes the need of re-creatlng our
commercial marine We lost our lead
on the sea at the beginning OF the civil
war, While an OF our energies were
enlisted In that great struggle there
occurred one OF those economic reyolu-
tons which change the face and front
Of affairs. This was the substitution
OF iron FOR wood In the construction Of
ships Men now living can remember
when IL was hotly argued that an iron
ship could not be made to float, but the
discussion was without interest 10 us,
for we had not metal ships England At
once forged 90 the front az the builder
Of the new craft She had been admon-
ished by the condition in which she
found herself during the Crlmean war
when she had 20 charter American
clippers for troop transports 10 carry
her army 20 the shores OF the Black
sea. English craftsmanship never for
gets q lesson OF that kind, and, catch
ing us when our enterprise was either
paralyzed or intensely occupied In
civil war, she made the most Of her
opportunity. and so II came 20 pass
that Britannia Rules the Wave soon
0utpiped Columbia the Gem Of the
Ocean"

THE STAKE CONFERENCE.

The Salt Lake Stake Conference,
which was held on Saturday and Sun
day. was very profitable to all who at
tended. But there were many members
OF the Church who stayed away on Sat
urday and who no doubt could have
been present Il they had so determined.
Their absence was conspicuous, partic-
narly so in the case Of men who oc-
cupy positions Of responsibility in the
Priesthood.
There were numbers Of the Saints
who had not seen or heard OF the no
tees published concerning the Stake
Conference. They ought to have been
informed by the ward officers, who are
expected 10 instruct the members IN
their duties On future occasion Of
the kind. II Is hoped they viii spread
the news so that all may understand
IT,
on Sunday morning, although there
was a good attendance many promi-
nent Elders did not respond to the roll
call. in most instances they were en-
gagged in the Sunday schools. This was
a laudable work 1t IS labor Of love to
train the children in the way Of life
and truth. There are some Bishops
counselors, and Presidents and counse-
Tors OF Elders Quorums, who are Sum
day school officers and teachers. That
is all right and proper, II they can at
tend TO both calllngs. No structures
we're passed upon them on that ac-
count. They are 10 be encouraged In
their excellent work. But the gemarks
made concerning their absence were
intended to apply only to their nom
attendance at the Stake Conference
They are expected 10 attend It's ses-
slons that they may know what Is re-
qulred OF them IN their official capacity
in the Priesthood once IN three
months they can surely find some one
TO supply their places In the Sunday
school for a single session.
There should be no misunderstanding
on this point The Stake Conferences
are important to all the Saints, and
particularly so TO those who are ap-
pointed TO be leaders among them. II
is one OF the duties Of the Priesthood
TO meet in conference once In three
months, and OF two duties the more I'M
portant should have the preference. Il
is not and never was intended that any
auxiliary association or society should
take precedence Of the duties OF the
Priesthood.
Altogether the conference was one Of
great interest and VIII, no doubt be
productive OF good. causing a stir
among the negligent, and rectltyng
mistakes IN reference to the respective
requirements Of active and useful men
and women. No one is expected TO do
the impossible. All are required 10 do
the best they can. We look for a larger
attendance on the first day Of the next
conference Of the Salt Lake Stake Of
