The Rev. Mr.. Berry, agent of the Civic
club, has been Speaking in Bangor, and
saying some unoomplimentary things OF
the city. OF which this is sample:

spirit of Christ, are so apathetio toward
this condition that they permit this law

persistent protest against 1t "
Naturally the local press do not like
the tone OF his remarks, and the Com =
mercial retorts as follows:

and states in respect to all that makes
for good government: and the people OF

Senator Fry agrees with Senator Platt
OF Connecticut that Congress cannot ap.
prove, reject or in any way modify the
Cuban constitution. because the Teller
resolution in spirit prevents 1t, but he
thinks Congress can discuss the instru-
ment and advise the Cubans what to
do with it for their own good. This view
Of the case In undoubtedly sound. Under
the resolution adopted at the time of the
Spanish war any attempt to coeroe
Cuba into forming any particular kind
of government Nor adopting any PARTON
lar kind of constitution, will bs unjus-
titable 1t is perfectly proper, however,
indeed it may be our duty, to point ont
to Cuba any dangers which may Iurk
in her constitution or In her form of
government and urge her TO avoid them
by making changes in one or both. So
long as we contine ourselves to a kindly
advice we are acting within the limits
OF what is right and proper, but II we
undertake, as is suggested In some quar-
ters, to refuse to withdraw our troops
from the island except upon condition
that the constitution and the govern
msnt shall in all respects conform to our
ideas of what they ought to be, we shall
violate the solemn pledge which we gave
on the eve of the Spanish war. BY no
sort OF legerdemain can we make the
Monroe doctrine supercede our pledge
or Justify the breaking of IL.

There are some among us, doubtless,

should consent to part with these lands /;
but no one will be found we believe, to
advise the use of American money for
this purpose 1t has been suggested that
these lands should now be taxed and that
such a tax would be found exceedingly
helpful in removing the difficulties which
the problem now presants.-Zion's Advo-
cate.
The Treaty of Paris obligates us to pro-
tect the friars in their rights, including
theiI rights of property. II American
money cannot be use1 to buy them out,
In what way oan they be got rid of? To
tax their land to the point of contiscation
would certainly be a violation OF the spir-
1t, n not the letter OF our engagements
under the Paris treaty. And why ought
not the Filipinos 60 submit TO Friars
whom they don't like, just as much as to
civil rulers, whom they don't ike. The
friars have a clear legal title to the lands
they h1ld in Luzon, they are protesting
anxiety to do the people good, why
should they be dispossessed anyway.

FOR RECIPROCITY.
Home Market Club of Boston Issues
 Statement.

Boston, Oct 29.-Chosen to voice the sentiment of the Home Market club in favor of some practical step to hasten a more general reciprocity of trade, and at the same time suitably protect the home market, a committee has report ed and the executive committee has authorized the publication of the fol- lowing statement:
 Among the most gratifying condi- tions of the time, which is attended with so much prosperity at home, is the fact that we have already vastly ex tended our trade abroad and have con- quered so large a place in the markets of the world. The time is now aus picious for the continuing and complet- ing this conquest. It must go on with out delay and must be thorough and permanent. To that end every step must be wise, successful unretreating, and must command and retain the con- fidence and approbatlon of the Ameri- can people We must injure no existing American industry and throw no large body of workmen out of employment.
 we respectfully request. congress, therefore, to collect without delay from every available source. full and exact information as to the effect of all pro- posed treaties upon industries now suc- cessfully established, so that none may be sacrificed. and in that way whatever be accomplished, shall be both benef- cial and enduring"

ACCIDENTS TO SHOW TRAINS.
Forepaugh & selIs' and Buffalo Bilps
 Trains in Collisions.

Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 29.-One hun dred and ten of the ring horses of Buff falo Bills Wild West show were crushed to death in railroad wreck near Lexington. early this morning. Among them was "Old Pap" Colonel Cody's favorite saddle horse. "Old Eagle" the star ring horse. was killed and his mangled body fell on top of one of the wrecked engines. The mules which drew the Deadwood coach were also killed. Colonel Cody spent to-day at the scene of the wreck and is heart broken over the slaughter. He says his loss is s60.O0o.
 The accident was the result of a head end collision between a fast south bound freight train and the second sec tion of the show train, and was due to a misunderstanding of orders. Several train hands were injured, but no one was killed.
 Twelve thousand people greeted the Wild West show in Charlotte yesterday and it left at midnight for Danville, Va, where it was to have made its last stand of the season. At Danville the show was to have been disbanded and the animals were to have been sent to Bridgeport Conn. to go into winter quarters. The show left here In three sections. Near Lexington as the sec ond section was going twenty-five miles an hour fast southbound freight train crashed into it. Both engines were wrecked Next to the engine of the show train were two large stock cars containing the horses and this is where the slaughter occurred. The cars were smashed into a huge heap of debris and only two horses escaped alive, The scene was sickening. From the mass of wreckage blood poured in a stream that ran alongside the railroad track in a small rivulet. Colonel Cody's en- ragement at Danville was cancelled in conseuuence of the disaster, which marked the close of very successful tour.
 New Orleans, Oct. 29.-The Fore paugh & Sells circus collided with a freight train near Baton Rouge to-day. Three men were seriously hurt. A number of elephants got away and af- fer a chase were driven into Baton Rouge and corralled. None of the oth- CT animals escaped, although four cars loaded with cages were wrecked.
