The Crowley Signal has entered
upon its 18th volume. We have al
ways felt a kindly interest in the
Signal as it is an offshoot of this office
"a child of ours SO to speak, having
been established in 1886 at Rayne,
by C. w. Felter and G. G. Addison.
We congratulate u confrere Scott
on his success. He says:
That our efforts have been appre-
ciated is attested by the fact that to-
day the Signal enjoys the largest cir
culation of any local paper published
in Louisiana. We have shared in the
common prosperity that has made this
section so well and favorably known
throughout the land as the garden
spot'' of the State. To-day the Sig
nal occupies the most handsome Office
building owned by any newspaper in
Louisiana, while the mechanical equip
ment is the superior of any office in
the State outside Of New Orleans.

up daily. Yellow pine land in East
Tennessee, which was formerly held
at 81 an acre, sold recently at SIG.
This is not excessive when it is re-
membered that southern pine lands
will run from 5000 to 10000 feet Of
marketable lumber to the acre, which
at the average price of $40 per 1000
will bring $50 per acre. Southern

1t is a curious fact that more interest
vas taken in the west than in tho east
in the attempt to carry through the
Porto Rican infamy. If a Congressman
went west, he was sure to come back
opposed to the bill, while in the east
andin Washington particularly, nobody
seemed to care much about the matter.

In surveying for a direct cable
route betwee Hawaii and Guam, the
Nero found an inseparable obstacle in
a gulf 31,595 feet deep, and could
discover no practicable route around
it. It was therefore necessary to
change the plan, and a route has been
surveyed from Honolulu vest north
west to Midway island and thence to
Yokohoma, and thence south to
Guam. This gives us a good cable,
but the landing on japanese territory
is not to be approved unless it is i'm
possible to avoid it. 1t can easily be
avoided by running the south south
east to Tutuila, where this country
has the finest harbor in the Pacific,
and thence northwest to Guam. This
route, while a little longer, would
place all the landings on United States
territory.

The Week Before the Election.

This is the last week OF the campaign
preceding Names State election. 1t -
not the time to be victimized by over
confidence or to sit still and figure on
the probable size of the Republican ma
jority. Every Republican has a duty
to do. A full vote must be cast, next
Monday. and the Republican victory
must be overwhelming and decisive, no.
only to ensure continuance Of safe
and honest government in State affairs.
but that the Republicans throughout
the land may be stimulated and en-
couraged by the loyal activity of the
old party here in Maine.
The Republican party has a splendil /
candidate for Governor. In all the heat
of the campaign not one word has been
said against him or question raised of
his eminent fitness for the office of Gov
ernor His leadership should be an IN
spiration to the party. We have -four
congressman to return to Washington.
and a Legislature to elect which viii
not only have State matters of great
importance to deal with. but which
must also choose United States send-
tor. Thus State and national issues
are involved in next Mondays election.
This is inevitable under the circum-
stances. In State and national affairs
the Republican party stands proudly
upon its record. and upon this record
is willing TO be judged as to its fitness
for continued power.
There should not be a Republican
bolter Of stay-at-home in Maine. this
year The opcsition is active. well
supplied with funds, and determined to
make large gains in the State. On the
stump and through the mails it is cir
culating a bewildering mass of misin-
formation. There is urgent need Of
Republican unity and aggressiveness

pealinE to the prejudices Of race and

called, is nomnally Republican and

cation that it will remain so, DESPITE

In order to attract the German and

made to Dr. Emil G. Hirsh, the IA
nous rabbi Of Chicago. a Democrat, to
support Mr.. Alschuler and Mr. Bryan.
Dr. Hirsch made public a letter in
which he had declared that while he
had not supported the Philippine pol
icy of the administration, he found it
superior to that which Mr.. Bryan sug-
gested. and would therefore. support
Mr.. Mckinley. Then he uttered this
rebuke 10 those who would ask votes

say if MethOdists would appeal to their

vote for a Jew simply because he is a
Jew, we must be prepared to have
others vote against Jewish candidates

The Living Menace OF Free Silver.

In his weekly letter Henry Clews tho
leading New York financier, warmly
commends Secretary Gage for his op-
perfume warning in clearly pointing
out to the country the real danger from
silverism. The law passed by Congress-
last March, as it now stands. is per
fectly safe when interpreted BY. those
whose faith is pledged to the gold
standard; if. however, administered by
its enemies or those pledged to silver
it could not be depended upon to
possible if those in authority were 50
inclined, for this Government to pay
its expenses and redeem its obliga-
tions in silver dollars as well as gold
dollars. Gold payments would Of
course. cease at once if such a change
Of policy were attempted. That a peril
0f such gravity is possible from q
simple change Of administration should
be sufficient warning to the sound
money interests TO rouse themselves
into vigorous activity; the danger from
apathy in that quarter being almost
equal to the danger from the strength
Of the silver party. four years ago.
Without discussing politics as such.
it was perfectly proper for Secretary
Gage to warn the people that if these
possibilities should even be turned in
to probabilities a the next election. the
present era of prosperity would be
