The utmost harmony prevailed in
the Republican county convention
held at the court house Saturday and
the ticket placed in the field for the
consideration of the people at the
election to be held on Tuesday, No
vember 4th, is certainly a fair and
representative one. The opposition
have no advantage in single iii
stance over any OF the Republican
nominees insofar as ability, integrity
and general strength is concerned
Hon. Geo. w. Bassett, who heads the
ticket, is most favorably and widely
known and the ticket from top to bot
tom bears strong personnel, both
collectively and individually, At this
time it looks like winner, and un-
less the people are tired OF prosperous
times it undoubtedly, will be.

Among recent deaths at health re-
sort is that of Samuel +. Pearson, Prohi-
bition sheriff of Cumberland county, Me.
who was a candidate for reelection this
year. He was clergyman and temper
ance lecturer who believed when he was
elected to office on the Prohibition ticket
that the prohibition law could be enforc-
ed in the city of Portland, in which ar
rests for drunkenness are more numer-
Gus than in cities of larger size in high
license states. He did enforce the law
in the shape of wholesale arrests. seiz-
ures, fines and Imprisonment, but there
was no conspicuous abatement of drunk
enness in Portland, and proof of the cor
ruption of one of Pearson's deputies was
given by him in sworn confession, and
another was publicly accused. The
Pearson crusade broke down like bank
that is robbed from the inside by its Off
GERS. Pearson, who was sincere, hon
est enthusiast, was broken by these reve-
lations, broken in health and spirit, and
furthermore he had lost confidence in
the efficacy of prohibition as moral
agent and in his belief that such law
was really enforceable. He lost his
health, his ardor diminished. his support
ers fell off in numbers, and the enemies
of prohibition grew bold and defiant.
Pearson had looked forward to becoming
in September, 1904, governor of the state
of Maine, on the Prohibition ticket, but
this project had to be abandoned, and he
died at 81 heart broken, disappointed
man.

On the banks OF the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents the air,
And the soft Goeasys grow?
1t lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,

That tired feeling is native there,
It's the home of the listless ldontcare,
Where the Putitoffs abide.

And say they will do it tomorrow;
And so they delay from day unto day,
Till death cycles up and steals them away,
And their families beg, steal or borrow.

RELIGIOUS Bodies.

May is the favorite month for the gen.
eral meetings of religious bodies said
a prominent church officer. The Presby-
terians meet annually In May; the Baptists
meet In May: the general conferences of
the Methodist church meet quadriennialiy
in May-the south Methodist being in ses-
sion now. The north Methodists meet In
1906
The Episcopal church holds its general
convention triennially. The last conven-
ton was held in San Francisco last Oc-
tober and the next will be held in Boston.
THE southern Presbyterian assembly,
now in session at Jackson. will probably
adjourn this week. The northern assembly,
which is holding Its meeting In New
York, will hardly reach adjournment be-
fore next week. 1t has the creed question
up for action, and the discussion will re-
quire some time.
''The general conference in session at
Dallas has no doctrinal matters under
consideration. but 1t has a great deal of
business on hand, including the election
of bishops and book agents, and will not
adjourn before June. The Methodists are
usually in session three or four weeks"
