THEY LEAVE THOMASTON.
Stain and Cromwell Say Good Bye to Enforced
Home for Years.

Thomaston, Me, Jan. David l..
Stain and oliver Cromwell left the
Maine State prison, Wednesday morn
ing, free men. Although the pardon.
which had been signed by the Governor
Tuesday morning, arrived at night,
brought from Augusta by Attorney
Lewis A. Barker, whose father defend
ed Stain at the trial and upon whose
petition the pardon was granted, the
men decided to remain in the prison
Tuesday night to gather up their be-
longings and make preparations for an
early start, Wednesday.
When an Associated Press correspon-
dent arrived at the prison. at $50
o'clock Wednesday morning, both men
were busting about bidding farewell to
the officials and seemed to be in the
highest spirits. At 10 minutes after s
they passed out through the heavy iron
and stone doors which nearly IL years
before had closed behind them, and
which for all that time have stood be-
tween them and freedom. y prison
cab WAS drawn up before the door and
this the men entered. accompanied by
Deputy Wyman ana Chaplain Plum
mor.
There was no delay in starting and a
few minutes later the party stood on
the station platform anXiouSly await
ing the arrival of the train upon which
their first journey in many years would
be begun. Cromwell approached the
ticket Office window and asked II 1t
would be possible to buy Il ticket clear
through to Portland. and expressed
great surprise when told he could just

of several hours.
More than 100 people had gathered at
the station out of curiosity to see the
men and the number received many ad-
ditions before the train rolled in at So.
AS the train came to Il stop in the sta
ton, Attorney Barker sprang from the
rear platform of the second coach and
approaching the party grasped Stains
hand and greeted him with Good
morning. David" Cromwell also came
in for hearty handshake.
Mr. Barker had passed the night in
Rockland and had taken the train from
there AS the train pulled out of the
station. Lawyer Barker, Stain, Crom-
well, and n Boston newspaper man
were seated together. Mr.. Barker will
accompany the men as far as Bruins

that gentleman that he would not ac-

turned and took a free look in the d.

SEARCH FOR THE MOTIVE.

Before following party leaders blind
ly wherever they may go says. the
democratic Michigan City Dispatch,
it is always well to find out what the
motive is that actuates them. In all
cheap money periodsit will be found
that nine-tenths of the leading agita-
tors are controlled by selfish motives.
1t is not what will be best for the
country as whole, but what will be
best for me as an individual. A man
has been reckless or unfortunate in
his business and is close run for money
or is badly in debt.
He thinks more money and cheap
money will help him, and without
considering its effect on the entire
country, he selfishly advocates what
seems best for him, and he usually
becomes rampant soft money man,
ready to denounce anybody as gold
bug OF plutocrat who does not agree
with him. In time the craze passes

see that he j. better off THIN he would

Another Lie Nailed.

1t seems that the editor of the Inde-
pendent cannot pint single number
of his paper without lying about
somebody and Friday evening he used
my name to try to make his readers
believe that he was justified in stating
that John G.. Davis had bought the
News and Republican. The fact is
that / told the reporter of the Inde-
pendent lastWednesday that / sawMr.
Davis on his way hone and he told me
that he did not have any money to buy
newspapers and that he would not
give thirty cents for any newspaper
anywhere for himself: consequently
when the Independent stated that Mr..
Davis had bought the Republican it
knew that the statement was false, and
when it said that / reported that Mr..
Davis came to Plymouth to buy any
paper it wilfully lied.

have been if his imitation ideas had
succeeded.
This same condition of affairs is no
table among advocates of protection.
1t usually is purely a matter of self
interest. This is well illustrated by
a story by Col. Mills when he was in
congress and was working on the Mills
bill to reform the tariff. A constitu-
ent in Texas had large number of
sheep and hearing that Mills was 60
ing to lower the tariff on wool he
wrote him vigorously protesting
against the plan. In few days he
sold his entire flock and he at once
wrote COL Mills: 81 have sold my
sheep and now l don't care a d. what
you do with the wool tariff"
This is very fair Illustration of
the way thousands of political leaders
are controlled. All sight of principle
and all interest in the general welfare
of the COUNTRY is lost or swallowed up
by what is conceived to be the selfish
interest. Such people are never safe
leader and they neither know nor
care much about party principles or
what is best for the whole country.

sTALwARr REPUBLICANS

The work of the Iowa state conven
tion must be viewed with satisfaction
by loyal and thinking republicans all
over the nation. 1t nominated strong
and clean men for the various state
offices. Its platform is clear-cut,
progressive statement of republican
principles.
The convention justly congratulated
congress upon its currency legislation
and upon its dealings with Porto Rico,
Cuba, and the Philippines. 1.-The
policy of this government toward the
islands, - it said, ''has followed in
evitably upon our expulsion of the au-
thority of Spain. 1t has been dictat-
ed by the conditions present, has been
consistent with the spirit of the con-
stitution, and the paramount consid-
Grafton has been to secure the lasting
welfare of those peoples whose fortunes
and destinies have become in large
degree dependent upon US. "
The convention Endorsed the policy
of protection as the foundation of our
industrial and financial independence,
but it also recognized that that policy
is a practical one whose applications
must change with circumstances, and
Endorsed 1.-The policy of reciprocity as
the natural complement of protection,
and urge its. development as necessary
to the realization of our highest COM
mercial possibilities.

ed trusts" the convention recognized
them as useful instruments for the

Horned by a Catfish.

Ash will lose one leg as the result of
an injury to the foot received two
weeks ago from catfish weighing
seventy pounds, which he caught in
White River. 1t was with great diff
ticulty that he landed the fish, and as
he hauled it into the shallow water
one of the horns came in contact with
the sole of his foot He experienced
little pain and gave the injury no
thought until his foot began to swell
a few days later. Then the swelling
extended to the leg, and physicians
have now decided that his life can
only be saved by amputation of the
leo.

HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD.

Our envious and credulous back-doOr
neighbor, miscalled the independent,
said the other day that John G.. Davis
had come to Plymouth to buy the
News and Republican. The next eve
ming temporary attache OF that
sheet was i'm this office and we rallied
him on the daily exhibitions of truth
lessness and unreliability made by the
paper he represented, saying to him
in the course of the joking that GER
tainly Mr.. Davis had bought this pa
per: that no other motive for a visit
to Plymouth by him at this time could
be conceived
The editor of half the miSnamed
independent was informed of the con-
versation and fell victim to his own
credulity, the wish. as we remarked
Wednesday, being father to the
thought. He rushed into print assert
ing the sale to be fact. That Mr..
Davis should be glad tospend a couple
of DAYS out of his vacation in the
county from which he received his
federal appointment is such nat
ural and obvious thing that the
next councilman for the first ward
quite overlooked it; that his own lie
about the purpose of Mr.. Dayis's
visit would naturally lead 20 jocosity
was incomprehensible to the trading
stamp representative of Marshall
county. The queer little fellow set a
trap for himself and then got caught
in it and though he could see Three /
engineers where none existed, he is
quite unable to see that he is the vic
tim of his own lie
A due observance of the rule of court
esy practiced by all respectable papers,
that of permitting every paper to
make the first announcement of it's
own changes, would have saved the
doddering dicky his humiliation, and
the exercise of as much sense as the
Almighty gave geese would have in
formed him that we would not permit
him to know of a sale except through
our own columns.

SNOBBlSHNESS OF GRADUATES.

Prof. Charles Zeublin of the univer-
sity of Chicago in addressing class of
students in sociology has advanced
the theory that public school educa-
ton, with the higher education which
frequently follows it, so far from be-
ing ssour most democratic and leyeling
institution" in reality tends to empha-
size class distinction. The division
between the educated and the ignO-
rant, he believes, is the greatest class
distinction we have. So much is this
the case, he finds, that university
graduates in this country are snob-
bish, even as they sometimes are
abroad, the system which has made it
possible for them to become educated
men being thus responsible for plac-
ing them aloof from the mass of their
fellows.
1t needs but to be recalled how
much greater this gap between igno-
rant and educated would be were
there no public schools to perceive
the fallacy into which Prof. Zeublin
has fallen, observes theChicago News.
1t may be that the university men
tend to flock by themselves and to
assume caste distinction, but so far
as the mass of men have been educated
by the public schools the distinction
is that much diminished. The rene
DIV for any such class distinction as
Prof. Zeublin seems to fear lies not
in cutting down the opportunities for
higher education but in improving
and increasing the opportunities for
education everywhere and in all
grades.
1t is not true that universities turn
out graduates most of whom are
snobbish. There are poor men in
universities and they are not only
democratic themselves but exert a
democratic influence on others. But
even if it were true. the most that
can be said is that the distinction of
class is one made by individuals and
not by the system. The individuals
would probably be snobs in any event
and the great mass of men and wo-
men hold snobs in contempt. Among
people of true cultivation there is not
likely to be serious gap, and the
aim in both public schools and univer-
sites must be to make that cultiva-
ton as high and as wide spread as
possible.
