The turning point IN that contest
came III the Census Committee. Chair
man Hopkins of Illinois had a bill for
;'.'I members, as at present, based upon
a population OF 2n>, ,~G> for each mem
Der. GOV BUFieigh had bill provid-
lng tor 3N6 members, based upon a
population of 194.l>2 the smallest
number that would allow Maine to re-
tam tour members of the House. When
the day for voting in the committee
came there was pending a third propo-
sltlon to amend the Hopkins bill. so as
70 provide for a membership of BIB.
based upon a population of l9v, ,9OS.
This would have taken care of all the
States represented by members of the
committee, with the single exception of
Name. All were playing politics, and
the argument was circulated quietly
that If the intermediate proposition
was adopted it would be a step toward a
larger representation. such as the Bur
leigh bill proposed, when the apportion
ment was taken up III the House.
1he committee Of thirteen was almost
equally divided. At Gov. Burleighs S
request, Chairman Hopkins agreed to
vote on the Burleigh bin, the intermedi-
ate proposition, and the Hopkins bill
III the order named. The Burlelgh bill
was beaten to ti-and so was the in
termediate proposition. That was where
the surprise came. All his friends sup
ported the Intermediate proposition.
which would have cared for their States.
out TO their amaZement, he voted
against it. Hot words were spoken
after that vote. Burleigh stuck by his
position He had canvassed the prob
abilities the previous evening with his
own delegation. and reached a perfect
understanding as to what he should do
III that very contingency. 'If the in
termedlate proposition had carried
Maine would have been weakened by
the loss of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,
and South Carolina" said he after
ward. Then the Hopkins bill was
adopted by a vote of : to 6, and the
committee went before the House with
a report divided on those lines as be
tween the two extreme propositions
1t was known long ago how the House
decided by good majority for the Bur
leigh plan. Not a cog slipped in the
arrangements. The voters in Maine
have not gotten over rejoicing yet at
appOrtiOnment campaign.
Burleigh has been business man all
his life. He has for years been largely
interested in the wild lands of his native
State, especially in Aroostook County,
but he never purchased timber land
without first making personal inspec-
ton of the property, and it is said of him
that he never lost a dollar through those
transactions. His father, Hon. Parker
Prescott Burleigh, who died at a ripe
old age few months ago, was his pre-
decessor in similar undertakings. Gov.
Burleighwas interested with his brother
in constructing the Bangor and Aroos-
took railroad into the AroOstook wilder
ness,a development that has marked an
era in the upbuilding of that wonderful
section of the State. This brother, Al
bert A. Burleigh, was the first president

The figures contained in the agricul-
tural bulletin of the census bureau, Just
published, stagger the imagination of
the average man, long surfeited with
the statistics of colossal industrial
combinations. The total value of farm
products for the year in which the cen
sus was taken was 81, 139, lis, 900; the
average income for each farm was 500;
and the average farm comprised l46
acres. Iowa heads the list of the States
with products for the year 1899 valued
at $3.50, All. .32> and Illinois comes second
with S345. 5.649.Gl1. Iowa has over Sc per
cent. of improved farm lands, 9 per
cent more than Illinois, which is again
second on the list The value of the
products and of the lands of the North
Atlantic States has fallen off during
the last ten years. but the loss has been
more than offset by the development of
the northwest and southwest.

Washington, d. c., Post.
Men of many brilliant talents have
been sent to Congress from the little
State of Maine, far down East. With
occasional exceptions, they are the pick
from AS sturdy and brainy a race as
hourishes anywhere and, once surviving
the ordeal of a nominating convention,
come to the House of Representatives
for practically life tenure 1t has
long ceased to be a marvel that such
men come to the front.
When the break first came in the ia
nous delegation of four Maine Repub-
llcans who were new members twenty
years ago. the vacancy was filled almost
unanimously with a strong party lead
er whose name for ten years had been
almost a household word in the Pine
Tree State He was then known all
over New England as one of the best
organizers in all that section, man OF
honorable political methods, unusually
quiet in his execution of plans but uni
formly successful. AS modest and
courteous figure as one would come
across in days travel. but with com
manding presence, he took the oath of
office on a July day five years ago.
Coming to Washington i'll the closing
days of the special session of Congress
which passed the Dingley tariff law, he
was of necessity assigned a seat in the
"Cherokee Strip on the Democratic

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS. Capt Bennett of
the steamer Golden Rod was notified by the
Northport Campmeeting Association that
he could not land his passengers there On
Sunday, and the excursion advertised to 90
from Bangor to Northport on that day came
to Belfast inst cad. The message from the
! association was received at Bangor Satur-
day night and is said to have been most
premptory in its character. Whether or
not the boat would have had right to land

When his four years as chief eXecu-
tive of the State had expired in 1892
Gov. Burleigh had aspirations to come
to Congress. The late Seth l.. Milliken
of Belfast was then the member from
the Third district. There were evi-
dences Of more or less opposition to his
denomination. The battle that ensued
was a notable one in Maine political
annals, probably the tiercest and most
hotly contested of any for Congressional
honOrs since Maine became State in
1920.
Milliken was man of strong popu-
lar traits. He knew nearly every voter
in the district, which comprises por-
ton of the counties that Blaine repre-
sented many years, during which he
was three times Speaker of the Nation
al House. Burleigh had an acquain-
tance equally wide The laurels OF two
terms as governor, which had been ex-
ceptionally successful terms, were fresh
upon him. His organization was sup
ported by warm personal friends in
every town and hamlet in that thrifty
Yankee section. The final result was a
victory for Mr.. Milliken by very mar
row margin, one of the other candid
ates throwing his strength to him in
order to bring about his nomination.
How clearly Gov. Burleigh had fore
seen the final outcome of the contest
in its closing days is evident from the
fact that he had at that time already in
type an editorial for his paper, the Ken
nebec Journal, exhorting the Republi-
cans of the Third district to give the
nominee of their party a united and
