Another Governor. Not Names.


In it's Governor, as well as in many
ether respects, Maine is favored above
some of it's sister states. There is
Arkansas, for instance. We have had
occasion several times of late to refer
to one Jeff Davis whom the Democrats
Of that state have elevated to the gov
ernorship. He won national notoriety
by attacks on New England in general
and Massachusetts in particular.
suits. but the source being considered
they have been taken quite otherwise.
Recently the information was pub
lished in the newspapers that ne had
been expelled from membership in a
Baptist church of Little Rock and a
little later the announcement was made
that another church of the same
denomination had received him into
membership, religion evidently being
considered local issue in Little Rock.
The charges and specifications on
which he was publicly tried and eX-
PEELED from the first church have now
come to hand and are of no little in
terest. 1t is also Of interest that the
Democrats Of Arkansas have unani-
mously renominated this man for
another term, and in accepting the
| nomination he said that he should be q
candidate for the United States Senate
in 1904. Arkansas is plainly proud OF
| its governor-so much the worse for
| poor Arkansas. Here are the charges
on which ne was convicted and expelled
from his church:
| l. Recently ne went to Hot Springs
| Arkansas, to attend a reception t.
| some editorial excursion, and during
! his stay there became thoroughly
| drunk and acted in a most disgracefu
manner, and has brought disgrace t
| the cause Of Christ.
= Prior thereto he went to Ho
| Springs and got drunk, and went to {
| gambling house and bet and lost none!
| and acted otherwise in Il disorderly, un
coming ana di=gracefuI manner.
8. That last fall on a trip from
Camden to Little Rock he was DRUM
and disorderly.
4. That recently he was drinking
and treating some negroes on the TRAN
in northwestern Arkansas in or nea
Benton county, Ark.
D. That he was drinking and DRUM
on the Cnoctaw train running out from
Little Rock on or about Monday afte
the recent primary election.
6. That some time since he has beel
governor he was drunk at Texarkana
Ark.
l. That he has otherwise VIOLATED
the principles of our church covenan
by neglecting to perform his duties am
by grossly SHINING against the pur
poses and principles of it's ofganiza
| ton.

Yesterdav,s state Convention.

The large turnout of delegates from
all parts of Maine at yesterdays Re
publican state convention in Portland,
and the enthusiasm attending its de-
alterations. augurs well for a rousing
Republican victory at the polls in Sep
TENDER. 1t is evident that the party is
in good fighting trim, and confident
that the splendid record it can show
will receive the cordial approval of the
voters of our State.
It is rare that the speeches on such
an occasion are all of the high standard
that characterized those of yesterday.
Senator Noble made an admirable
presiding officer, and his eloquent
speech accepting the position held the
close attention and aroused the enthu-
siasm.

The proposition to include German
student duels in the Olympian games
to be held in Chicago in 1904 is a little
beyond the limit Such affairs hardly
come in the category of manly and
athletic sports and are not needed to
make the occasion a grand affair such
as Greece in all its glory never dreamed
Of and Paris in 1900 could not possibly
get up. German student duels are sell

Old Orchards scheme for killing off
mosquitoes is working to the queens
taste. There was some delay at first to
get the proper person to spread the
petroleum on the ponds and marshes
where the insects breed. During this
time the mosquitoes got little start
and people there have been bothered a
little, int the number of the insects is
growing smaller every day, proving
that the new plan works splendidly.
The oil is used after each rain fall,
about a barrel of the crude petroleum
being necessary to make the rounds.
