the sensational personal encounter be
tween them on the floor of The Senate

When Mr.. Tillman's name was called
he added a new sensation TO the pro
ceedings by rising and saying with i'll
concealed emotion:
Among gentlemen an apology for ar
otfense committed under heat of blood
is usually considered sufficient
| Mr.. Tillman's words induced Mr.
kean IN. j to rise at the conclusion OF
the roll and say; "Having heard the
|
suit the Senate, ] change my vote from
aye to no
At the request of Mr.. Burrows, the
statement of Mr. Tillman was read.
Instantly the South Carolina senator
disclaimed any intention of being often
sive to the Senate and said that if hi,
words were so considered he woulC
withdraw them.
The Chair (Frye) said that by unani
nous consent they might be Withdrawn

A merchant in town stated to the
REPORTER, Monday last that a few days
ago he cashed a check of over one
hundred dollars for man who had
just come out of the lumber woods, the
amount earned in hard work during the
fall and winter, and, three days after
he was around trying to borrow a few
dollars. He had bought suit of
clothes and had nothing to show for
three-fourths of the sum, having blown
it in" for rum. This is by no means
an isolated case. Unfortunately there
are lots of them, with varying degrees
of iniquity, perhaps.

citizens stand by their officers and the
open, fragrant violation of law will be
thing of the past in our town.

In the Tillman- McLaurin case the
punishment seemed to be censure or ex-
pulsion, and the Senate chose the for.
mer. The constitution gives the Senate
or House power to punish Its members
for disorderly behavior, and with the
concurrence of two thirds expel men,
ber Discussion in the case brought
grave doubts as to the power of the Sem
ate under the constitution to suspend a
member. If senator is expelled his
State can fill the vacancy Immediately
by executive appointment, but if a mem
Der is suspended his State is without
representation during his suspension.
The constitution provides that leach
senator shall have one vote,n and that
mo State, without its consent, shall be
deprived of its equal suffrage in the
Senate The power of suspension might
be source of grave danger in the hands
of an unprncipled majority.

American railroads are progressive
and enterprising. Many great railroad
systems are preparing to spend millions
of dollars upon the betterment of gradi-
ents, the Strengthening of curves, the
abolition of surface crossings, and upon
large increases in rolling stock. In
these ways immense sums will be so dis
tributed as to stimulate and expand gen.
eral prosperity. This year of 1902 is al
ready busy one among the Transports
ton companies, and it will become bust

A Credit to Our Town.

The more we think of it, the more
we realize that the town meeting held
in Coburn Hall on Monday last was a
decided credit to Skowhegan and to its
citizens. la the first place, unlike some
town meetings, 1t WAS deliberative
BODY. 1t was kept well in hand by
the moderator and at no time was there
action on the line of following dema-
gogic leadership. All questions were
intelligently and cogently discussed.
There was no disposition manifest on
the part of property owners to defeat
appropriations in order to avoid the
necessary increase of taxation, nor was
there on the other hand, disposition
manifest on the part of voters who are
not large property owners to "soak''
the taxpayers by combining to make
large appropriations for employment.
We have hereby had occasion to say,
and have said 1t more than once, that
citizens Of Skowhegan in town meetings
assembled, rise to the occasion and in
lIC nhbkCl Va Idlsins Api PNOiiS
purposes rarely fail to do just about the
correct thing. They may err sometimes
but the occasions are rare.
Not all the men chosen or measures
carried were to our exact liking, but
the point we make is that Mondays
assembly of citizens was deliberative
body and intelligently such. 1t began
work in the morning at 10 O'Clock and
worked continuously and diligently
until 12.45 p. m. 1t assembled again
at 30 p. N. and worked closely and
patiently until 6.15 when it had accom-
plshed its work and adjourned.
To our mind the overwhelming ex-
preston given by Mondays meeting
in favor of law and order, in favor of
enforcement of law oftentimes neg
lected and abused, was splendid
tribute to the worth and sterling
character of Skowhegan citizens. 1t
was a long stride and Il strong stride
in the right direetioE-in recognition of
the majesty of law and in rebuke of
lswlessness and violations of statute
provisions enacted for the good of the
public. The beauty of the action was
its emphatic character. There was no
halfway about it, and no mistaking
its import. Officers of the law got an
expression that cannot be gainsaid or
discounted. Sheriff Pencil said, the
next day, 1t was practically unanimous.
The oppositions TO 1t, with very
few exceptions, did not care to
stand up and be counted. 1t was
mighty wave that had accumulated, 10
these many years, and it swept all
before it. No man can question the
public sentiment In favor of enforce
ment of law in this town after the vote
of Monday on the question of instruct
ing the selectmen to enforce the pro-
hibitory law.
Sheriff Pencil and Chief of Police
Thompson visited the saloons, hotels
and drug stores in town on Tues
day, and notified the proprietors to
refrain from violation of the law against
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. This
course was taken by them after full
consultation with the selectmen and
the officers of the village corporation,
and they are fully sustained by them in
the move for enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. The officers of the law
in this town are solidly for enforcement
ment and will remain so. Now let

How to Train "A calf.

Some of our advanced ddirt men differ
greatly in their opinions on how to man
age the calf Immediately after birth One
man say, IL prefer to take the calf away
as soon as born rather than be troubled
caring for sore teats OF the COW. sc for
convenience a shallow and broad metal
pail, milking for a large calf three quarts
OF milk. Then, after gently caressing the
calf, stroke the neck or back with the
hand or talking kindly to II, place the
milk under IT'S nose and the fingers touch
ing its lips, but not in the mouth; soon
it will begin to uy to get hold OF your
fingers then gently push It's nose down
into the milk. ana in its Efforts to get hold
of your finger it will get taste OF the
milk and Is very apt 10 drink. A little
patience and kindness vi meet with sue
cess. After it has been taught to drink
you will find it much better TO always
place it in a Stanchion at feeding time and
let II remain there a short time after it
gets through eating, SO that it will not
form the habit Of sucking the other calves
ears" Some others prefer to let the
calves remain with their mothers until
they are three or four days old. Probably
the latter has more followers than the
former 1t is evident that either proceed
ing gives good results and may be adopt
ed without detriment to the future welfare
of the COWS.
