The Press and Bryanism

If Bryan and Organism are to have
any stronger support from the press
of the country than they had four
years ago, it is not yet apparent. On
the contrary, there is the same eager
ness which characterized the opening
of the campaign of 1916, to deny allie
glance to the policies which Bryan
represents. Some of the influential
papers which then cut loose from the
democratic party have never returned
to the fold.
In New England the ablest indie
pendent paper, the Boston Herald,
comes out for Mckinley, and such
leading democratic papers as the Man
chester Union, the New Haven Regis
ter and the Hartford Times serve
prompt notice that they will not sup
port Bryan and Stevenson.
The chief democratic paper OF
Mary land, the Baltimore Sun, bolts
the nomination. In New York only
Hearst's yellow publication, the Jour
nal, supports Bryan. All the other
papers of the great metropolis are
arrayed against him. The strongest
democratic newspaper of the city,
the New York Times, speaks in no I'M
certain tones as opposed to Bryan.
The ablest independent paper OF
New York and probably of the coun-
try, the New York Post, will give un-
qualified support to Mckinley

The Remepyi Concert .

The concert given at Hancock hall last
Monday evening was all that could be de-
sired by lovers OF good music. The per-
formers were artists all.
Victor Beigel gave the finest exhibition
OF piano playing ever heard in Ellsworth.
His technique is nothing short OF marvel
Gus. That such expression, such light
and shade, can be obtained from this in
strument was a revelation to many in the
audience.
Miss Marguerite Hall is a woman OF
striking physique. with pure mezzo-
soprano voice highly cultivated, and
under perfect control. She sang with
perfect ease and expression. Her selec-
lions were carefully made, and delig hit
fully rendered.
Mr.. Walter Whestley justified all that
had been said OF him. He has a pure,
full, rich tenor voices voice rarely
heard in this section. He we'll deserved
the generous applause he received.
This trio is a com bination for a musical
entertainment that ii would be difficult
to excel. While the writer thinks it true
that neither artist OF this group possesses
that quality which thrills, that mag
netism which, figuratively speaking,
takes one OFF ones feet, that indefns bic
something that appeals to the heart rat her
than o the inteilect-it Is yet true Il al hey
are all three true artists, " no love music,
VINO perform for nusic's sake, and who
love TO perform for toe pleasure they are
cspa bic OF giving to those " bo hear them.
And this characteristic was well illus
rated by the good naturec and liberal
manner in which they all responded to
encores.
Financially the affair was a roaring
failure. Money enough IVES not taken
TO pay the very moderate expenses.
Those who did attend, however, were
richly repaid.

For Representative.

Now that the national, State and
county tickets of the republican party
are made up, attei.t.on naturally
turns to the next and last nomina-
tons to be made-those of repre-
sentatives to the legislature. Several
nominations in Hancock county have
already been made. The list will be
published at the head of our editorial
column as soon as it is completed.
The nomination of a representative
for this city is yet to be made.
Among those thus far prominently
mentioned for this nomination is F.
Carroll Burrill. Mr.. Burrill is Que of
Ellsworth's rising young men, an
attorney by profession, and also the
junior member of the insurance firm
of G. Q. Burrill q Son. He is a
graduate of the Boston university law
school, and was admitted to the
Hancock bar in April, 1897.
Mr.. Burrill unquestionably pos
sesses the qualifications necessary
adequately to represent this con-
stituency, and should he be
the choice of the party at the caucus,
he will receive its hearty support.

In China.

The reports from China during the
past week have for the most part
been gloomy. The report of the
wholesale massacre of foreigners at
Picking is reiterated with horrible
detail. At Tien-Tsin Friday the
allied forces were repulsed by the
Chinese with heavy losses, the 9Th
U. S. infantry being cut to pieces and
Col. Emerson II. Liscum, veteran of
the Civil war and Spanish war, was
killed. The total American loss is
placed at 2l5. Saturday morning the
allies renewed the attack, routed the
Chinese and gained possession Of the
native city and its defences. The
Chinese minister at Washington still
holds to the belief that foreigners in
Picking are safe, but the government
believes the worst.
Technically, this country is at peace
with China, and the attitude Of the
government is still against a deciara-
ton of war. This must not be ac-
cepted as indicating purpose on the
part of the United States to hold its
hand in the administration OF swift
and adequate punishment upon the
Chinese, without regard to station,
who may be responsible for the out
RACES of the past few weeks.
To declare war now would seriously
cripple the government in its efforts
to obtain satisfaction. We should find
closed the ports of China, which are
now open to us, and all sorts Of i'm
pediments would be encountered that
are now missing. A declaration of
war would afford not even a technical
gain, while it would actually be a
heavy drawback.
Chairman Cannon, Of the House
appropriations committee, is author
ity for the statement that money in
plenty is at the disposal OF the Presi-
dent to meet the present emergency,

special session Of Congress on that

The vote for Palmer and Buckner,
the gold democratic candidates for
president and vice-president four
years ago, was ridiculously small.
Why? Because the issue was between
gold and silver and-McKinley and
Bryan-and the democrats who re-
fused to accept the free silver fallacy
did not wish to throw away their
votes, and so voted for Mckinley.
The issues are the same this year.
Sticklers for the name Of democrats
may insist on a gold democratic
ticket, but few will throw away their
votes on it.

Deer rsIe Sailor Drowned.

Theodore v. Eaton, OF Little Deer Isle,
aged twenty-four years, was drowned at
Bangor Friday. Eaton was one OF the
crew of the schooner "Helen 8. Barnes",
which was lying at City Point.
Eaton was engaged with Frank l..
Weed, another sailor on the BARNES,
in moving scow away from the
schooner. Weed was out ahead I'm q

Tending the craft of the schooner's bow

and he went into the river. Weed bur-
riediy cast of his tow and rowed to the
assistance OF Eaton, but Eaton did not
rise to the surface. He could not swim.
The body was recovered three-quarters
OF an hour later. Ii was taken to his
home at Little Deer Isle Saturday.

The Cattle Ranch Scheme.

"W hat has become OF the cattle ranch
scheme for Cherry field plains?" is ques-
tion that has been asked many times.
The plan has not been entirely aban-
doned, though prospects of its realization
are not as bright now as some months ago.
This Is due directly to the big failure last
May of Price, Mccormick Il Co., OF New
York, who were to be largely interested
in the Maine cattle ranch, though their
name had not been publicly mentioned In
connection with ii.
Though the failure of Price, McCor-
mick d Co. has put an end to the scheme
SO far as they are concerned, an effort Is
now being made to interest others in the
project.
