| second the nomination of Gov. John
f. Hill, the next Governor of the State
of Maine.
Geo. II. Smith, ESD, of Pressure Isle,
made a brilliant speech seconding the
nomination of Gov. Hill for the East
ern part of the State, saying in part:
In the selection of it's candidates for
Governor the Republican party of
Maine never makes any mistakes. 1t
is not Il mistake making party. In
that long line of Governors of the State
taken from the ranks of the Republican
party and the ranks of the party which
was it's forerunner there has not been
one from and including the time when
Maine went HI bent for Edward Kent,
whose administration has not been an
honor and credit to the State of
Maine.
The Republican party of thu State
of Maine made no mistake two years
ago, when it nominated John L. Hill.
He has proven himself to be worthy
successor of worthy predecessors. His
administration during the two years
he has been Chief Executive of the
State, has been as clean as the driven
snow. In his administration he has
exemplified that old mandate that has
come down to us from long long ago,
In righteousness shalt thou rule and
in judgment do no evil
During his administration he has
kept his eve single to the welfare of the
people of Maine and Tyrian and Trojan
have been alike treated without dis
elimination.
And now in behalf of the sturdy
farmers OF the new Northeast who have
made the wilderness bloom and bios
som as the Garden of Eden and whose
fair and fertile fields are daily kissed
by the first rays of the morning sun;
in behalf of that great army of woolen-
shirted woodsmen in the wilds of north
crn Maine armed with the ak and en-
gagged in preparing for the markets of
the world the untold wealth of the
northern forests; in behalf of the
brawny men in the busy mills of the
great northland where the singing saws
roll forth a music more joyous to the
hearts of labor than the sound of gold
ell harps; in behalf of the horny-handed
sons of toll who dwell in the log cabins
of the back lots, in the far north, and
who today are marching steadily for
ward shoulder to shoulder in the ranks
of Industrial progress: in behalf of the
northern merchant in his counting
room. and professional man in his office,
and finally in behalf of the thousands
upon thousands of intelligent citizens
throughout the whole length and
breadth of eastern Maine, whose loyal
ty and devotion to the eternal princi-
pies of the Republican party know no
variableness nor shadow of turning, |

RELATING TO IMMIGRANTS.
Tho Senate Committee Heard Interested
Parties About Regulating the Coming
Of Aliens Here.

Washington, Dec. 0.-The senate
committee on immigration yesterday
gave hearing to parties interested
in the bill to regulate the immigra-
ton Of aliens into the United States.
Goodwin Brown, of the New York
State Lunacy commission, said that
in the state insane hospitals of New
York there are $4,000 inmates and
that they are increasing at the rate
Of about 700 year. One-half of the
large number, he declared, are for
eign-born and should not have been
permitted to land. lie offered pro-
posed amendment to the bill extend
ing the time to two years for deport-
ing an alien who has become public
charge and with the additional pro-
vision that "any alien who becomes .
public charge by reason of unacy,
idiocy or epilepsy within two years
after arrival will be presumed to
have become such from causes exist
ing prior to landing, unless the con-
trary be anlrnatiyely shown
Answering Senator Lodge Mr..
Brown said that in the course Of ten
years the foreign-born insane in this
country will cost the United States
$50, ,000,00 lie declared that the
state Of New York would be willing
TO pay the entire expense Of deport-
ing all who come to the state and
who became insane within two years,
as provided in his amendment, should
it beadopted.
Commissioner General OF Immigra-
ton Sargent urged the retention OF
the provision for 50 head tax.
Many undesirable immigrants, he de-
clared, would not come here II the
tax WIS raised. "rhese are the peo-
ple," he said, who cause the most
trouble in this country" To Of
fectualIy carry out the law, Mr.. sar-
gent said, win require increased ex-
pense, and this he argued, could be
met by increasing the tax to SO.

Kansas Money Il Busy.

Not in years has there been so gen.
eral use Of money at this time Of
year as is now manifest in the agri.
cultural sections OF Kansas. Com
pared with one year ago the condi-
tions seem abnormal and are the
cause Of such speculation among
those who have not considered the
situation. For instance, the banks
have practically no larger deposit
than last August while they have
stronger demand for loans than in
two years.
Last year at this time their de.
posits were high measure, the
largest in the states history, and the
demand for loans was light. The
farmers were paying off their in
debtedness snd were in no hurry to
use their savings. Following the
corn failure this seemed remarkable
but it was really the logical result
Tne loss Of the corn took the cattle
feeding industry from the farmers
and they really had nothing to do
after the wheat was harvest and
sold but to wait for the coming OF
another crop. They did not want to
hold over anything that they could
not feed and they disposed Of as
much as possible, with the result
that the money was put in the banks.
They bought some land and SO made
good price for real estate and they
have during the year past been living
on the little things that have become
SO large part Of the farmers income
in the prairie states.
1t 10 the opinion Of the well in.
formed bankers that there will not
be = material change in the financial
conditions Of the west In the next 80 |
days. 1t is unlikely that there will
be material increase 10 deposits
shown at the next bank statement
for the money is at work, not in the
banks. 1t is busy condition and one
that ought to result in large returns
In the end.

An Unfair Religious Paper.

A striking example Of how unfair a
religious newspaper can be when the
editor is seeking for sensatioualism is
the Christian Herald Of this week.
The Christian Herald poses as a great
elevator Of Journalism yet no "ysllow"
sheet Of the metropolis could be guilty
Of more contemplate bit Of grand
stand play than is exhibited by its
editor.
The leading editorial is devoted to
Senator Burton. 1t quotes from a
fictitious interview published last
October in which he was made to say
unkind things about Hawaiian mis-
sionaries. In order to find out il the
alleged statements we're true, the
editor says, he wrote to certain mis-
sionaries in Honolulu and publishes
their replies. There are three Of
them. None Of the writers met Sena.
tor Burton and none evidently had
heard OF the fake interview until the
Christian Herald wrote about it. OF
course sll the letters state that no
such con litions as the fake interview
reported exist or ever have existed in
the islands. Nowhere in the paper is
q sentence to show that the nlitor
tried to find out whether or not Sena.
tor Burton said what was attributed
to him. In five days the editor could
have written to Mr.. Burton and re.
ceived reply. Mr.. Burton corrected
the interview by letter to a dozen
eastern people who inquired, within
week after it was published. Or a
telegram would have brought denial
in an hour. Yet the Christian Herald
wrote to Honolulu and waited . month
for replies from men who never heard
Of the interview and published their
letters as basis for public denounc.
ing Senator Burton-who never gave
the interview and be has repeatedly
so stated.
He says: "I did not know that at
this time there were any Christian
missionaries in Hawaii. | did not
suppose there had been any mission.
aries there during the last fifty years.
This entire statement is founded on
falsehood. There is absolutely no
truth in 1t from beginning to end.
This statement about missionaries
trading certificates to heaven for land,
which is attributed to me, is some.
times told in Hawaii as a joke, but
does not refer TO the early mission.
aries. The country has been Chris
tianized and did not know, until |
read this statement, that there had
been any Christian missionaries there
during the last fifty years. posi-.
lively know | have never said any
thing that reflected in any way upon
the Christian missionaries. | think
there is no country in which Christian
missionaries have accomplished more
good than in in Hawaii"
This the Christian Herald man could
have found out in a short time. He
did not do it. He preferred to kick
up a sensation and roast somebody
and find out sfterward whether it was
right. As an exponent Of the relig.
ious life and OF fairness the Christian
Herald is a failure. It should drop
the first word Of its name and sail
under it's correct colors.

IMMIGRATION BILL.
Senate Adopts Committee Amend.
meAts h the Measure.
MEASURES 10 CONTROL TRUSTS.


Washington, Dec. 0.-Ths senate
yesterday adopted all the committee
amendments to the immigration bill
with the exception Of one prescrib-
ing On educational test, and also the
action Of the committee in striking
out section a6, prohibiting the sale
Of intoxicants within the capitol
building, and then laid aside the bill
until to-day to pass number of un-
objected pension bills.
The amendment fixing q three-dol-
lar head tax on each immigrant COM
ing into the United States furnished
the principal topic for debate. Mr..
Gallinger insisted that there was less
necessity for 1t now than there was
a year ago, but it was adopted with
out division. A new amendment was
added, designed to stop the alleged
perjury on the part Of persons seek
ing admission to the United States,
and the committee amendment max
ing the head tax lien on the prop
erty of the transportation lines
bringing immigrants to the United
States was stricken out. An amend
ment also was agreed to exempting
from the law aliens in transit
through the United States and aliens
once admitted and who have paid.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Lodge, making railrsad companies
liable for damage on account Of the
injury or death Of employees, notwith-
standing the injury or death may
have been due to contributory negii-
gence on the part Of the employe.
Senator Foraker introduced a bill
directing the secretary Of war to
mark with marble slabs the graves
of confederate soldiers who died in
northern prisons or hospitals dur
ing the civil war. The bill appro-
PIRATES 100000.
Senator Nelson introduced joint
resolution for an amendment to the
constitution SO as to give congress
the power to control trusts, and also
a hll to amend the Sherman anti
trust law by more stringent provi-
sions. The provision for an amend
ment to the constitution was as fol-
lows:
Congress shall have power to de-
fine, regulate, prohibit or dissolve
trusts, monopolies or combinations,
whether existing in the form Of
corporation or otherwise; congress
shall also have power to regulate
and control all corporations engaged
in trade, commerce or any other
business among the states or with
foreign nations"
The bill for the amendment Of the
Sherman law makes all mergers or
combinations In restraint of trade
illegal and provides punishment Of
the offense by . fne Of $4,000 or iva
prisonnaAt for one year, or both,
against each person engaged in the
combination. The bill also prohibits
combinations in restraint Il trade
and ell attempts 10 'monopolize any
part Of the trade Of the several
states or territories, providing fine
OF 5000. or Imprisonment for q year
in each case. Corporations engaged
in interstate commerce are required
to file with the interstate commerce
commission each year q statement
Of their business and also a state
