More Trouble.

viii trouble never cease on The Wis
casset and Quebec railroad route9 That
company has had its share Of litigation
and extraordinary expense, but the end
does not appear to have been reached yet.
The road was started at Wiscssset doz.
on years ago with the Intention of con-
neclng at Pittsfield with the Sebasticook
& Mooseeead railroad, but financial diff
culties blocked the proceedings. AT that
time the road bed had been graded to
within about two miles of Pittsfield vii
lage and the rail had been laid to within
quarter OF mile of Burnham village.
When trouble begun the work of con-
struction was discontinued, and the
whole matter was given thorough in
vestigation in the courts.
Attachments were made on the prop
erty, and for several months interested
parties were at loss to know who owned
the road, and what the outcome would
be. 1t was finally decided to complete
the road to Burnhgm village and then
complete the line to Waterville instead
Of going to Pittsfield, but again they
"struck snag' and were obliged to
abandon proceedings. Since then mat
tiers have been at standstill, the trains
running only from Wiscsssett to Albion.
Several persons In Burnham and vicin-
ity own lands that have been crossed by
this railroad, and they say they have
never received any pay for the damage
done to the land thereby. They have
been anxiously watching developments
of late.
1t is reported that orders are soon to be
issued to take up the rails, sleepers and
fences between Albion and Burnham,
thus seemingly vanishing all ideas of
completing the road to Burnham. II
this proves true the property owners
whose land has been damaged by the
railroad, it is stated will make attach
ments on the rails and seepers as fast as
they were removed by the railroad en-
ployes, thus hoping to receive their pay
in part at least, for the damage that has
been done to their property. Several of
the interested parties, it is reported, have
already secured council. The outcome
is awaited with interest.

Maryland Democrats.

The Democratic party Of Maryland
held State convention, Thursday the
1st instant. The nominal purpose of the
convention was the nomination of a
comptroller and clerk Of the court of
appeals, while the real business of the
convention was the formulation and
adoption of platform upon which the
Democrats could go before the people of
the State with reasonable show of
winning.
The combined sagacty of the DEM
ocratic leaders In the State was called
into requisition aud under the advice and
direction of ex-senator Arthur Pue
German, a platform was formulated
which declared that the purpose of the
party If successful in the coming cleo
ton, is to eliminate the Negro from
politics In Maryland, II such thing be
possible under the constitution of the
State. Upon this, the paramount issue
Of the campaign, will stand the candi-
dates nominated for State offices, and
the Legislature of 1902, which will elect
a senator to succeed George L. Yelling
ton. That his successor in the event of
Democratic victory, will be Arthur Pue
German is thought to be probable, al.
though no formal announcement of his
candidacy has as yet been made.
This plan may not work as expected.
The law passed by the Maryland legisla-
ture last winter, which was intended to
disfranchise great masses of colored
Republicans, did not meet the expecta-
tions of its Democratic creators and 1t
may be this more recent act Of the same
leaders will not work just as they expect.

Practical Prohibition.

There is great deal of talk In prohibit
ton circles and elsewhere, about the
readiness with which landlords aid and
abet the selling of liquor, by letting their
stores for rum shops. This may be true
OF some. probably is, but the Argus
knows Of one landlord who recently took
a stand In regard to the matter, that
ought to commend him to the most radi-
cal temperance man alive. A certain
man went to this landlord and wanted to
hire vacant store for pool room aud
lunch room with the usual filings. The
owner OF the property kne-1 more or
less OF the man, so he told him very
plainly that there was to be no rumsell-
ing on the premises. The moment that
he saw or heard of anything of that
character, the tenant would find his
goods put out on the sidewalk by con.
stable.
The man promised faithfully to OBJ
serve this condition and was given the
store at S42 a month. He paid two
months rent In advance, was given pos.
session and started In business.
After about three weeks the landlord
became suspicious that liquor was being
sold there 80 he engaged a man to GO
The man went, bought the whiskey
which he took to the owner of the build
ing, who called his carriage and drove
down to the saloon. He had some.
what stormy interview with bis tenant
which ended In a constable being called
into service who put the stock out on
the sidewalk and turned the key In the
door.
IN q do hn 20 In or. ~ ba
dispossessed tenant called around to see
the landlord and begged to have his SON
in-law reinstated, offering as high as $50
a month In rent. The landlord was firm
In his refusal, however, and the father
in-law departed. The same store is now
let for less than $25 month to a shoe
maker, but the man who owns 1t says he
is perfectly satisfied. He would rather
have 1t stand idle forever and have to
pay taxes on 1t rather than to harbor a
rumseller at hundred dollars month.
And that landlord is neither a temper
aIce shouter nor the patron of one, but a
man who personally takes his beer or
whiskey when he wants it, but never
offers any to any one else who does not
want it.-Portland argus.
The foregoing is just the right kind of
landlord and is entitled to full credit
as sensible man and respecter of law.
This gentleman being intelligent, I'M
doubtedly had In mind the law relative
to responsibility of owners of buildings
for injury in person or property of wife,
child or other dependent of any intoxi-
Gated person, which In part reads as fol-
lows: "The owner, lessee or person
renting or leasing any building or prem
ises, having knowledge that Intoxicating
liquors are sold therein, are liable,
severally or jointly with the person SELL
ing or giving intoxicating liquors as
aforesaid"

EsBusiness Affairs.

Bradstreet's report of last week is to
the effect that copious rains throughout
the western half Of the country insured
large spring wheat crops and put an end
to the talk of absolute destruction In the
corn belt. The rush of cattle and hogs
to market has been stopped, the recent
rains apparently insuring plentiful
forage.
From the rest of the country trade ad-
vices are In the main quite cheerful and
an extraordinarily large business appears
to have been done. Cotton crop con-
ditons improved at the South with rains
and trade advices are most cheerful
Lines OF trade most active are groceries,
particularly canned goods, produce gen.
orally, leather and hides, wooden goods,
finished products of iron and steel and
building materials, while cotton goods
are quiet but firmly held.
Bank clearings for the week aggregate
Sl,773, 551 ,639, decrease of Is per cent
from last week, but gain of 30 per cent
over this week year ago. Business
failures In the United States were 100
as against 1919 last week.
Dun says: Continued favorable
weather conditions have resulted in the
saving of much late planted corn, and in
the Northwest Ideal weather for spring
wheat harvest has been enjoyed. AS this
is the point that business In all parts of
the country has been most carefully
watching, the general feeling is better
than week ago, although the disposi-
ton on both sides to settle the steel
strike has not yet resulted 10 any agree
ment, and the labor situation is thus
kept prominent. The excellent business
enjoyed In some important lines is illus.
trated by the refusal OF the American
Wooden Company to take further orders
on the goods it recently opened, as mill
capacity has been reached. Some of
these could have been sold twice over.
Collections are prompt. Railroad earn
ings for July, thus far reported, increased
10.4 per cent over last year and % 3 over
1899. Bank clearings at New York
gained 4S.S per cent over last year and
ia over 1899; while at leading cities
outside of New York the gain is 1873
per cent over last year and SIS over 1899
Prices of commodities are firm.

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took
two doses and was entirely cured" says
Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan.
my neighbor across the street was sick
for over a week, had two or three bottles
of medicine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days without
relief, then called in another doctor who
treated him for some days and gave him
no relief, 80 discharged him. l went
over to see him the next morning. He
said his bowels were in a terrible fix,
that they had been running off so long
that it was almost bloody fiux. l asked
him if he had tried Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he
said, NO l went home and brought
him my bottle and gave him one dose;

Plenty OfOrders.

Outside the American Steel trust that
has strike on hand, the iron and steel
business seems to be lively with an
abundance of orders. One company, the
Rogers Locomotive Works of Paterson,
N. j., has an order for six locomotives
for the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
Railroad. The company has also an
order for two engines for the Antofa-
gasta Railroad of Peru, owned and
operated by ex.Mayor William R. Grace
of New York. The Rogers concern has
likewise an order for ten engines for the
st. Louis & Southwestern Railroad. In
all there are orders for fifty-two loco
motives. Now seven hundred men are
employed. Probably five hundred more
will be needed.

Crop Estimates.

b. W. Sdow, statistIcian of the Orange
Judd Farmer, and the Chicago Board Of
Trade, suthority In the analysis of corn
crop conditions, says:
The rains stopped the destruction of
the corn crop, but they have not added
bushel to the crop prospect as it actu-
ally existed when they came. For grass.
pasturage and late hay the visitation was
Godsend to the farmers Of the stricken
area, insuring ability to secure enough
forage to carry diminished cattle herds
through the winter, but the damage al.
ready inflicted upon the corn crop was
permanent and irreparable. This year
drought became serious in the southwest
just at the critical period of the life his
tory OF the corn plant, when the tender
tassel was thrusting out. The tassel was
killed and whitened as rapidly as it shot
up from it's protecting sheath of leaves,
and with 1t died all possibility OF corn
crop. No matter how vigorous the plant
may appear or how generously ears may
shoot, unless there is sufficient pollen In
the tassel to fertilize the silk, 1t will be
crop OF cobs, with an irregular and
scattered development OF grain. Local
returns show crop condition at the close
of July under IS, figure 10 points lower
than the writer made the condition of
this date in 1894. 1t Is by far the lowest
condition ever reported. In 1894, after a
drought less Isevere than that just expert
enced, the Government bureau reportt
10, $4,000 acres as abandoned, and made
the final crop on a condition higher than
the crop now enjoys 1,2l2,000 900 bush
els. A logical deduction of the present
situation would be for a crop officially
reported no larger than that OF 1894. In
all probability, however, without further
unfavorable weather conditions it will
exceed this figure, but it will be safe to
anticipate crop officially estimated well
below l,500,000,000 bushels with the
chances favoring an estimate decidedly
below that figure.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
is investigating crop conditions in the
Northwest, expressed the opinion today
that the situation was. not quite so bad
as reported. Ia an interview he said:
1.-The real object of my trip is to make
scientific investigation of the crop con-
ditions OF the Middle West. | am salts
fled that way can be devised whereby
the loss to the farmer by drought can be
materially lessened. | have not yet
| reached conclusion as to how this can
be done, but the results of my investiga-
tions will be given out upon my return
to Washington. | first noticed the effect
of the drought in Indiana. Thence

For Whose Benefit?

Russia does not like our tariff and
therefore, say the tariff thinkers, the tar
If must be changed. Other countries do
not like some provisions Of the law and
these must also be changed. 1t might
be worth while to stop minute and dis
cuss the question whether we make our
tariffs for the benefit Of other nations or
for our own benefit. Ii for the benefit
of Russia, Germany and England, we
might as well turn the work of making
the tariff over to them and save the ex-
pense of Congressional labor on 1t. But
there is little prospect that the tariff
thinkers will induce the people to listen
to them. Conditions are pretty fair now,
and there are not many who want to 60

Congressional Probabilities.

Senator Cullum of Illinois has recently
visited President Mckinley at his home
in Canton and upon his return to Chicago
spoke in regard to the probable action of
Congress at the next session. He said !:
"We shall have to enact some legisla-
ton regarding the Philippines but not
much, | think. Porto Rico is now all
disposed of and there is nothing to do
for it. AS far as Cuba is concerned, it
has accepted the American proposals and
we have nothing more to do than let it
alone and allow 1t to work out it's own
salvation. From all the information |
can get the feeling is growing stronger
In Cuba every day In favor Of final an
nexation to this country. 1t will grow
stronger as the Cubans find their neigh
bors in Porto Rico enjoying the benefits
of free trade with this country, which
they are debarred from.
"What prospect Is there of tariff legis-
lation by Congress next winter% was
asked of the senator. 81 do not think
there will be any at least in the form of
general revision of the tariff. OF course
am not in position to speak authorize.
lively for the President, but | feel | am
representative his ideas when | say it.
There are, however, some things we
ought to do which will amount to par
tial revision of the tariff. There are at
present pending before the Senate, some
ten commercial treaties. These treaties
are all Of reciprocity character and if
they are ratified will amount to a change
in the tariff with the countries with
which they are made. 1t seems to me as
IL 1t would be wise to ratify at least some
of them. A feeling has grown up abroad
that the United States is disposed to act
in what may be called hoggish manner
in its trade relations, and if these recip
rocity treaties can be drawn 80 as to be
for the mutual advantage of both coun-
tries entering into it think it would be
beneficial all around"

Death of Empress Frederick.

The Dowager Empress Frederick died
at els p. No., Monday. The death of the
Dowager Empress was somewhat un-
expectedly sudden. At O'Clock her
physicians reported no change in her
condition. Emperor William and her
Maiesty's other children and the EN-
press were in the sick room most of the
day. They surrounded the bedside when
the Dowager Empress passed quietly
away. Profs. Renvers and Spielhagen
we're also in the room, The flag was
Immediately half masted.
Closely following the announcement
of the death from the castle the church
bells were tolled and the flags half
masted. Visitors to the castle began
inscribing their names in book for the
purpose In the hall.
IL s said the immediate cause of death
was dropsy, accompanying the cancer.
The remarkable vitality OF the Dowager
Empress astonished her physicians. She
retained consciousness to the end. The
castle grounds are now surrounded by
soldiers and patrolled by hussars and
mounted police.
