Maine may find a solution of the coal
diinoulty with new industry which
would add greatly to her prosperity
in AroostoOk county. Two bituminous
coal deposits have been discovered on
the line of the new Fish River railroad
and the coal has been used by black
smiths and has been found to be of fair
quality The discovery merely gives
new interest and color to an old belief
that there are valuable coal deposits
IN the northern part of the State and
calls attention to a report in which the
matter is touched upon in a particular
~ interesting manner by DIR. c. =.
Sackson who made "A geological survey
OF the wild lands of Maine way back
In the thirties. The report was pub
lished in Augusta in 1888, and only a
rev copies of it are now in existence.
Tis an i'll wind that blows nobody
good is an adage that has long been
quoted. but it was never better i'll
iustrated than in the wreck of the
BRUSH schooner Glenrosa on Ram is
land. AS all know that craft was
ioaded with culm coal; most people
thought. as this kind of coal is so fine
that, when the bottom of the vessel
broke out. the fine fuel would be
washed away. This does not seem to
be the case however. as some of it is
being now recovered by the neighbour
ing ISLANDERS. Any calm day now the
fishermen and residents OF nearby is
lands may be seen in boats raising the
coal from the rocky bottom. The
method of doing it is simple; long,
handled nets such as are used in TAX
ing Holsters from the cars are used,
only IN this case no meshes are in the
net, but "A thick gunny sack is used in
stead. With this the fine coal can
readily be scooped up from the bottom
and dumped into the boats. In this
way some of the coal fishers" have
gained all the way from half ton to
TWO and three tons of the culm coal.

A Good Beginning.

The senate has made a good begin ming in taking up the immigration bill in manner to indicate an earnest pur- pose to work reform in our immigra- tion laws. What form the bill will finally take after it has passed through a conference committee of the two houses cannot be predicted with cer- tainty, of course, but there is a fair assurance that the new act will pro- vide better protection against undesira- ble immigration than the existing law has afforded.
 The bill had it's origin in the public feeling which was aroused by the assassination of President Mckinley. The crime of the assassin at Buffalo created general sentiment against the immigration of anarchists, and natu- rally to a belief that the immigration laws as whole should be revised and made more rigid, so as to exclude all classes of objectionable persons com ing from the old world. For many years the representatives of labor or ganizations have been urging that more drastic laws be enacted against the immigration of pauper labor, but the fear of the foreign vote" held congressman of all parties in check un- til the assassination of the president gave an added impulse to the senti- ment which already existed.

The Hard listed Independent
 Operators.

The people of the United States have no occasion to form a favorable opin- ion of the independent" operators of anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania. It was the independent operators who defeated last week the plans for set clement of the strike troubles by di- rect negotia tions between the operators and the miners, after both sides to the controversy had informed the strike commission that it would not be re- quired to hold further sittings, and the most crying wrongs recited by the min CTS have been committed by these in- dependent operators. The ''independ- ent" operator, be it understood, is one of the smaller producers of anthracite. Most of the tonnage is produced by large companies closely affiliated with the transportation lines. and usually designated as the "coal trust" So far as we have noted, there have been TO charges of inhumanity and unusual greed against the trust operators. But the comparatively insignificant "'inde- pendents" have a great deal to answer for, if the testimony before the strike commission is reliable-and there is nothing so far to indicate that it is not entirely reliable.
 It is sometimes charged that the American people are callous in the presence of human misery and wrong doing, but this charge is made by su perficial observers. There is a quick response when there is proof of down. right inhumanity, and especially when there is proof of cruelty to women and children. and it may be taken for granted that the facts presented to the commission on Monday of this week will arouse indignation everywhere. According to the Associated Press dis patches,
 Two Hungarian women, one Of them the mother of a boy who testified on Saturday, were placed on the stand and told how the Markle company de- ducted house rent from the last wages of their husbands who were killed in the mines, and how the company at tempted to get them to sign a paper which would absolve the Markles from damages for the death of the men. The women also confirmed the story told by a breaker boy that children had to work without pay until the debt owed by the dead fathers was paid"
 It is small wonder that after hearing such evidence as this the members of the commission were in no temper to hear patiently an attorney for the inde pendent operators when he fippantly referred to the president O; the United States as Teddy"

MT. DooIey Gets rlarried.

The absence of MT Dooley" from The Republicans Sunday columns late 1y is accounted for by MT Dunne's marriage to Miss Margaret Abbott. a young lady of talent as an Illustrator It is interesting now to recall MT Dooley's remarks on marriage:
 When a mans married, he's a mar ried man. That's all ye can say about him. Iv coorse, he thinks marredge is goin' to change tn whole current iv bis bein' as Hogan says. But it doesn't Afther he's been hooked up fir a few months, he finds he was married befure, even if he wasn't which is often the case, dye mind. Tn first bride iv his bosom was tn Days Wurruk, an it can't be put off. They see no groun's fir dissolvin' that marredge, Hinnissy Ye can't say to the Days Wurruk, Here, take this bunch iv alimony an go on tn stage"
 We trust that in his discourse here after the great Irish philosopher will have to say nothing more hostile than the words we have quoted concerning the marital tie.

The low estimation in which the democratic papers of the territory hold the intelligence Of their readers IS il- frustrated once more; this time by the hogwash about the probability of C. presidential veto of the omnibus bill. The Republican has given the only au- thentic news on the subject. The president was approached in a diplo- matic manner, to see whether he would entertain the idea of a veto, and he made it plain that he would not give the suggestion favorable consideration for a moment.

NIP IT IN THE BUD.

First Appearance of Dandruff a Fore
 runner of Future Badness.
 That such is the case has been con clusively proven by scientific research. Prof. Unna, the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by parasites destroying the vI- tality in the hair bulb. The hair be- comes lifcless, and, in time, falls out. This can be prevented

The Hon. J.

Addicks. Mir. Roosevelt was requested to keep his hands out of the Delaware trouble, if he could not support Mir. Addicks.

have the republicans of the territory valuable work done by our delegate. But note the difference between demo- crats and republicans. It is a fact un- questionable, that Delegate Smith has had assistance of the utmost import ance from number of the leading re- publicans of Arizona, and in Washing ton MT. Smith has freely acknowledged the corn. Indeed. he has been frank in saying that the great work of convert ing a majority of the republican mem bers of the house committee on terri tories was performed by republicans from this territory. But does he make the same acknowledgement at home? Not an acknowledge! Not much, Mary Ann. To make a manly admission or this sort at home would interfere with the game of peanut politics which the democratic politicians of this territory play year in and year out.
 Every yelping, yapping journalistic Iooter takes his tune from the Smith keynote, and is busy with talk about Smith being ''the whole works" and is busy with innuendo that this and that republican has not only failed to be of assistance, but has actually fought statehood. The whole petty, amusing game is for the purpose of preparing the always gullible democrcy to be- lieve that the republicans of Arizona should have no share of the credit for the success of the omnibus bill in the event of the success of that measure.
 It is a controversy which is typical of Arizona democratic methods. At time when harmonious action on the part of all citizens. republicans and democrats. is required for the success of the bill, democratic yappers can think of nothing but howls against prominent republican. Too much in- telligencc must not be imputed, of course, but one would think that the democratic "geTnalists" would have sense enough to know that there will be plenty of opportunity for their mud singing after the territory is admitted.

OLD HOME WEEK.
OTrom The Landmark.

one of our cnterprising state papers
has already called attention to the pro-
prictv of having an observance of O!d
Home Week in Vermont next August.
The plan is a good one, but did not meet
with that active cooperation of the resi-
dents in many villages that is essential to
the successful carrying out OF the project.
What is hard to account for is the apatu y
and Indifference that were manifested by
some OF the Oldest families who were
looked to as the proper persons to lead off
in the movement. They seemed to exhibit
personally no interest. and to care but
little whether the town with whose carly
/ celebration or not. Such a feeling ON
their part dampened the enthusiasm OF
others.
1t will be impossible to get up any lifting
observance of Old Home Week without an
organization In each town to plan and SUI
pcrvise the celebration. This should be
formed at an caliy date The old families
should be fully represented and give their
encouragement. Nearly every town has
abundant historical "reminiscences. ct
some one collect these and at public
meeting recall the early history of The
town and of the settlers who nrSt gave /,

have gone into other states to come back
10 their old homes for a week, Make that
