said he will attempt to secure his liberty
by taking the poor debtors oath.
Davis is an elderly man, and came to
Bangor from Houiton last spring. Since
his arrival here his paper has appeared on
the street at intervals OF more or less reg

been rumors of proceedings against him
of both public and private nature, but
the suit OF Mrs, Patterson is the first one
in which active steps have been taken.
Monday afternoon the Penobscot
county grand jury reported five iBdict-

indictments have suppIanted in the pub

Patterson. The sttemptto secure Editor

and none seem likely to do SO; and
there is no reason why they should.
Let this condition of things continue,

not be elected. Reference is made in

1t requires courage in a degree per-
haps the less appreciated the farther
you are from Capitol Hill in Wash
fngton for a republican statesman to
stand up in the face of the oncoming
appropriation bills for which his
party is responsible, and tell the truth
as the Hon. Eugene Hale told it to the
Senate OH Thursday.
The gentleman from Maine is right.
The swollen tide of reckless expend-
ture is swelling higher and higher.
The fifty sixth Congress will top the
record. The two billion Congress is
not far away in the future, stalking
towards us under cover of public in
difference.
The main source of danger is not in
She huge appropriations rendered
necessary by extraordinary events,
like those, for example, arising from
the war with Spain. The country is
always ready to meet its emergency
bills. The people are cheerful under
taxation Tor the honor of the flag or
for the strengthening of the arms of
national defence. Even such a PEN
sion list as is now carrying a million
names, and taking from The treasury
$i44, zoo, 900 year, thirty-six years
after the end of the Civil war, is toler-
ated because the system has been built
upon the sentiment of gratitude,
aud in the name OF Justice to the old
soldiers of the Union.
The prime menace is in the swift
and disproportionate growth of near
Iy every item of ordinary expendi-
ture known TO the bookkeepers of the
government; in the addition of num-
beriess new accounts; In the readi-
ness of Congress 10 vote hundreds of
thousands of dollars where tens of
thousands were recently sufficient,
and millions where hundreds of thou
sands formerly answered.; i'll the easy
going hberality which is doubling the
appropriation bills of ten or a dozen
Years ago i'll channels of expenditure
having no relation to extraordinary
occasions for national investment in
war or peace.
The good natured craftsmanship
which approaches the duty of appor-
tioning the public money saying:
"Let US help each other and help our
selves; let us crafty our constituents
al around; this is big country and
there is plenty of cash in the vaults"
Will proceed at constantly accei-
Grating rate until men of stronger
character and clearer political vision
cali halt i'll a tone that the whole
country will hear and understand.
President McKinley's apprehen-
ATOMS at the beginning of this lush
session have been more than justified.
He uttered the appeal; it has now be-
come Senator bales duty to record
the negative result. The ultimate
political consequence of persistent
Indifference should be as plainly
dated. The ultimate consequence of
the unbridled extravaganza now pre-
vailing, AS history has taught US over
and over again, will be republican
overthrow by the onset of tidal
wave.
The republican majorities in the
House and Senate are putting in the
hands OF the opposition the surest
and deadIiest of political weapons.

few days ago, Ex-Chief Justice Peters
letter was as follows:

80 to speak. Commissioners Carleton and
Oak spoke In favor OF the law, and Land
lord Judkins, OF the Kineo house. was
another Of the leading speakers on that
side of the house.
Mr.. Carleton suggested that the land
owners could obtain their protection by
advocating a law that no firearms be car
ried into the woods during September.
He thought such law could be passed,
and Chairman Vickery, OF the committee
was OF the same opinion. Senator Week
cry asked the timoer-land owners why
they did not frame such a bill. Mr. Bass
said that such bill would, he thought,
be thoroughly acceptable to tue timber
land owners, hut they we're now after the
repeal OF the September law, and did not
wish to ask too much all at once. The
matter was then laid on the table for ex-
ecutive session at some future time.

The ultimate fate of the ship subsidy
bill is still matter of grave un-
certainty. 1t remains the unfinished
business of the Senate, but the
opposition still insists that it will
not allow it to come to a vote.
The two night sessions that have
been held accomplished nothing
m the way of clearing the atmosphere.
Under the circumstances, it was
deemed advisable to discontinue the
night sessions, and endeavor to reach
an agreement with the democrats for
Gxing a time for taking the vote. 1t
is evident that il such an arrangement
n not made sometime this week, the
effort to pass the bill must be aban-
doned in order that the way may be
cleared for passing the appropriation
bills and the Legislation on the subject
of Cuba and the Philippines that is
unanimously considered to be neces-
sary If an extra session is to be avoid
ed. The republican Senators in charge
of the ship subsidy bill are still hope
tnl that the democrats will announce
their purpose not to filibnster against
the taking Of a vote. The democrats,
on the other hand, continue to profess
that they viii never yield.
