A New Hampshire Drouth.

The campaign for temperance over in
the action of Ex-Governor Goodell in
"b,acklisting" all the male residents of
his town. That town, Antrim, is dry
anyway, since New Hampshire is now
under local option and the citizens of
Antrim voted for no license, but by the
step recently taken by Mr.. Goodell it's
citizens are unable to get a drink at
any of the neighboring towns where
there may be saloons. This condition Of
things is brought about because the ex-
Governor took advantage of his official
position as justice OF the peace and a
that no liquor shall be sold to "any
person where notice in writing has been
given forbidding sale to such person
from the parent, guardian, husband or
wife OF such person, OF by any magis-
trate or overseer of the poor of town
or city"
OF course the trainers of this clause
| never expected that it would be taken
advantage of in any such wholesale
| fashion as has been done in Antrim. 1t
| was intended for the prevention Of the
| sale of liquor to minors and habitral
drunkards. and the impartiality of Mr..
Goodell in his zeal for the cause of tenn
perance creates n novel situation which
is being widely discussed. He is in
tensely in earnest and is deaf to all de-
mands of citizens that their names be
| taken from the odious and arid black
list He seems to be master of the stu
alton until the courts interpret the law,
and that looks to be long time ahead
to the thirsty ones of Antrim. 1t Is
| barely possible that the courts will up
hold Mr.. Goodell's view of the power
given him under the law but that does
not seem likely. If the clause means
that, then all the citizens of New
Hampshire could be blacklisted. This
might be for their own good, but it is
safe to say they would wipe out of ex-
istence a law giving magistrate such
sweeping power.

The first diplomatic representative

age. His name is Philippi Varilla,
which may not mean much to most
people but it means a great deal when
we are told that he is the real hero Of
the great Dreyfus trial, for he was the
first to discover the proof of the inno-
cence of the wronged French captain.
A Frenchman by birth he was edu-
Gated near Paris and was q classmate
! OF Dreyfus. While the latter was a
@prisoner on Devils Island. a corre-
spondence was kept UP, so that Varilla
was familiar with Dreyfus' handwrit-
ing. He happened to see the famous
document which was the main evidence
of Dreyfus' treason and comparing 1t
with Dreyfus' letters, realized that the
document was a forgery. The docu-
ment was given to Paris newspaper
and readers recognized the handwriting
of Count Esterhazy. the forger. The
whole world was then aroused and the
second trial and the vindication OF
Dreyfus followed. varilla has resided
in Panama a few years as representa-
tive of the French interests. and his
grasp of events there has been as con-
epicuous as In the Dreyfus case.

Whatever one thinks of the Panama
affair, it is impossible not to feel pity
for the poor old President of Colombia
Jose Manuel Marroqun, now in his 18th
year. He earnestly urged the ratifica-
ton Of the treaty, and now the people
who rejected are blaming him for the
consequences. He is being assailed on
all sides by the illogical people whom
he tried to save from the disaster that
their own folly has brought upon them.

Gorman,s Boom Gets Jolted.

The Democratic victory in Maryland,
considering the small majority in the
face of Republican dissentions and in
comparison with earlier Democratic
victories, was anything but a glorious
triumph for German and now he gets
a set back at the hands Of his party
colleagues in the Senate. His aspira-
tons to the leadership of the minority
there nave met rude shock in the re-
fusal of rhe Democratic steering COM
mittee to let him have one of the places
assigned to the minority on the Finance
committee. Senator German had been
an aspirant for appointment to the
Senate Finance Comittee, to succeed
former Senator Jones of Arkansas, the
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee. The Washington CORE
spondents say that there was too much
political prominence for German in this,
however, to suit other Democratic
Senator's especially those from the South
and West, and they got together and de-
cided that it was to let German know
that precedence and Senate custom
must not be disregarded even by him.
Designation to the Senate Finance
Committee has always been recognized
as the fitting assignment of the Demo-
cratic Senate leader. Germans friends
had set great hopes in having German
succeed Jones. of Arkansas there, and
thereby strengthen his control, not only
Of the Senate minority but of the ma
tional organization of the party. More
over, as member of that committee
German could possibly have advanced
the interests Of the various great cor
porations OF which he is the champion.
The two Democratic Senators selected
for the Democratic vacancies, however,
are Senator Joseph w. Bailey of Texas,
who has bought a dress suit and be-
comes plutocrat, and Senator Fred 7.
Dubois, CT Idaho, one Of the unrecog-
nized Free Silver Bryan men. Dubois
was representative prior to 1885, His
victory over German is greeted by the
Bryan silver element as a great thing
and they are predicting now that Cor
mans boom for the Presidential NOM
nation. next year, has received a body
blow, from which it will have difficulty
in recovering. This, in fact, is believed
to have been the real purpose in
rebuking German. The unrecon-
structed Bryan men of 1896 have
resented Germans self complac-
ency since he returned to the
Senate this year, and it is evident to
him now that they will not brook lead
ership or dictation further. Republican
leaders are satisfied with the action
taken by the Democratic minority, for
they believe it will tend to cause worse
disaffection and division in the Demo-
cratic ranks.

And rabbits hiding there;
The evening sky all penciled DER
With branches rising bare
The valley filled with thousand lines
OF red-brush straight and tall;
The woodland brown with ripened caves,
And autumn's hush Ger ALL
Adown the gorge. where the shadows
hang,
The trailing hound gives tongue,
And rugged hills on every side
Re-echo loud and long.
A startled rush and a ringing shot,
The blue smoke curling low
Where withered leaves at half mast hang,
And tangled thickets grow.
What care we now for the busy world,
Or millions lost or made;
The air is sweet, the mind is free
In ripened woodland glade.
We linger yet on the wooded slope,
While evening shadows fall
Ger penciled sky, and rugged gorge.
And red brush bare and tall.

William Harper Deering of Saco, who
arrived at the advanced age of 81 years,
last week is believed to be the oldest
member of the Grange in Maine and
perhaps the most venerable in New
England. He still continues to be as
sprishtly as man many years his
junior. During the fall months he has
visited numerous oranges in York
county, anG on nearly every occasion
has taken part in the discussions. He is
practical farmer and well versed on
agricultural topics. He was an extern
size daler in cattle in the old times and
visited all parts of Maine. He was
born in Saco and has always lived there
and his farm is one of the best in that
section. He was one of the first alder
men Of the city.
