attack made by the opposition upon
state affairs, it is safe to presume that
they are in fairly good condition. Four
years ago there was state debt OF
S41O, 100000 and not a democratic meeting
was held anywhere but it was referred
to. The independent press featured 1t
in every issue. But it all has been paid
off, and there was over million of cold
cash in the treasury four years from the
date of this much advertised deficiency.
But this fact is not mentioned in the
democratic platform, nor has 1t ever
been commented upon editorially in cp-
position papers. In addition to this. the
state has expended literally for public
buildings.
II do not SO much as claim that such
property as the statute provides shall be
assessed by the executive council has
heen valued high enough. and it may
have been valued too high. only know
that four men elected by the voters Of
the state have tried to equalize taxation,
and know that one of them has done
his best, and of six others who have at
different times served with him have
such confidence in each that would
willingly trust him to arbitrate between
ME and the railroads or any other inter-
est. This does not imply that the exec
utive council has always agreed on all
details. We have always agreed, how
ever, that railroads should be assessed
as high in proportion to actual value as
land or town lots. AS result the as
sessment for taxation in the state has
been so adjusted that the relative bur-
den borne by railroads was never as
high as during the last three years.
In other words. Of the money now in
the treasury the railroads have paid a
larger proportion and lands and town
lots have paid less than ever before in
the history of the state. This result has
been brought about by the unanimous
vote OF every member of The executive
council, present and voting.
Not only has our party succeeded in
the management Of public affairs and at
the polls. but 1t has been equally sue
cessful IN maintaining harmony within
its ranks. The independent press has
advertised rupture after rupture and
nursed and petted every discordant note,
1t has been a tale bearer as well as
tale-teller II a complaint could be
coaxed from any republican It has been
promptly published and featured. This
should not be criticised. Unless our par
ty can be rent there is no hope of demo-
cratic success, an end devoutly sought
by all those who are not OF us and with
US. Boys who have no sled of their own
can usually be expected to sprinkle ash
es where the other fellows slide. But
there is no split in sight. 1t is the demo-
cratic party that is divided The boilers
are those who will come to us. There
will be no boiling republicans this year."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BEE:

Dear Sir: We feel desire to thank you for telling the people of NewtOwn about Devoe lead and zinc, in cOmpar- ison with lead andtoil; but are restrain ed by the fact that your business is to print the news, especially good news.
 It concerns every man that owns a house; it concerns every painter. Scarcely one of your readers is not con- cerned with paint that saves men, on the average, several dollars year apiece.
 And painter, whose work lasts twice as long as the work of others, good painters," of course, will get as the business as soon as the fact is known.
 But people won't wait for proof, when we authorize our agent to sell it under this guarantee; "If you have any fault to find with this paint, either now in putting it on or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
 "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense. ~The usual palnter's saying is that lead is good for three years; DevOe lead and zinc is good for six yearS-yeS, for ten or fifteen in favorable circum- stances, if you mean ''turns water" 5e K. W. Devoe & Go. B. H. Beers & Go. sell this paint.

BETHEL.

AN EXCITING AND PECULIAR EXPER-
 FENCE.
 Mrs Clarinda Bennett lives in Plum trees on her fathers old homestead. In order to supply herself and sons family, who spend the summer with her, with rich milk and cream, keepsa choice COW of the Jersey breed. The COW is pastured near the house in a small enclosure adjoining Clark's brook, where it is the custom to go to milk in the warm weather. Last week Thomas Bartram, a neighbor, who takes care of the COW and does the milking night and morning, had an ex- perience which he does not want to repeat. MT Bartram with pail in hand sat down to milk, when the COW turned and made savage attack, and to ward off her horns he grabbed them in both hands, but being on the down hill side was pushed several rods down against a wire fence, which gave way, when man and COW went off the bank into the brook, where there is about two feet of water. Mir Bartram was on the un- der side but managed to keep his head out of water and by great effort showed the cows nose under the water until she gave up the fight, when he saved himself from a perilous position.
