The German Socialists.

Socialism in Germany stands for
quite different things than it does in
this country. Here the extreme radi-
Gals are at the head of the movement,
many of them demagogues of the most
dangerous type, and others moreSignor-
ant than vicious. They have made the
cause of Socialism in this country al
most synonymous with anarchism, and
have made it stand for the disruption
of the home. industrial chaos. atheism,
crime and immortality But over In
Germany where the Socialists, or So
cial Democrats, as they are often called,
have been gaining great strength in re-
cent years, the party makes very few
demands which would not have the en-
dorsement of consecutive Americans.
With three exceptions, we should hard
ly call them Socialists at all. These
exceptions are gratuitous legal pro-
ceedings. free medical ATTENDANCE and
burials, and progressive incomesand in
n6GILdIlCe ld&tS. AhOSl VI lutlI ollltl
demands would seem reasonable to
Americans, however radical they may
appear to Germans. They include free
dom of speech and the press-which
has about it flavor of old-fashioned
amiliarity-legal equality of the sex
es. free non-sectarian schools with
compulsory attendance; responsibility
of the government to Parliament; dis
esta blishment of the churches; sub
stitution of the militia system for a
great standing army, etc.
The growth of this party in Ger
many in the past 20 years has been
steady and substantial. The vote of
this party in 1881 was $4,000. At each
of the five subsequent elections it made
gains, casting in 1898, 2,1O7,O76 votes;
and this year it is expected that the
number will reach 100000 and elect
100 members of the Rcichstag. AS all
candidates for the Reichstag must have
an absolute majority before there can
be a choice. it was necessary to vote
over again in az per cent. of the con-
sttuencies at the last election, and at
the second poll all other parties COM
bined against the Social Democrats 1t
is said that this not likely to happen
again. According to the writer of the
- article from which these figures are
taken. they form 'by far the best led,
best managed and most homogeneous
party in Germany" No wonder this
condition of things causes the Kaiser
to fume and fret. These millions of his
subjects take no stock in the idea of
his divine right" as ruler, and the
growth of this party may mean Il
grave crisis in the German empire in
the near future.

Local Interest Aroused For The
Health Of The Public

| There is no reason why, with a little
lprecaution. under the present circum-
lstances. there should be much general
sickness here this winter. Our citizens
|are anxious to see this become a. more
healthful community. and have taken
steps to make this end possible by a
simple means which should appeal to
Everyone of our citizens. .'.
Sickness of most kinds is caused by
neglect of some sort. In summer fevers
and malariaS run rampant because OF
peoples neglect in cleaning their per-
sons, houses, yards and alleys. Winter
brings with it many more serious dis
leases; consumption, catarrh, rheuma-
tism and many others which; strange as
it may seem, statisticians say are pro-
duced by some form of neglect
Most any disease, even those +tl,at
prove the most disastrous, can ,hbe
checked and prevented by the proper
means taken in time. In Eastern cities
the daily press and medical journals
for the past four or five years have
from time to time commented most en-

kept it as it has always been taken

No big circus for Maine, this year.
That is the doleful word sent out from
Portland and will spread gloom in that
city and in Lewiston, Waterville and
Bangor where high hopes had been
raised by the visit Of the advance
agent. 1t seems that the Barnum &
Bailey people cannot make satisfactory
rates with the Maine Central for the
hauling of their four trains and so they
have given up their proposed visit to
Maine and go up to the Vermont cities
instead. At least, that is what the adj
vance agent tells tie Portland papers,
and the big Autographs in that city
have been taken down and all the con-
tracts cancelled. Perhaps peace will
yet be declared between the circus and
railroad. and the small boy will not
|give up hope until the summer is gone.
The Prism. the annual publication of
the junior class at the University of
Maine. is now out, and is volume of
the greatest interest to all the friends
of that institution. Moreover, it is one
in which they are justified in taking
much pride, for in all respects it sur
passes its predecessors and will stand
comparison with the best of the similar
publications issued at other colleges
and universities. The, book is of $50
pages, neatly bound in blue cloth, the
college color, with the seal in gilt upon
lit. 1t is dedicated to Prof. Allen p.
Rogers ''who, through his earnest ef-
fort and active sympathy, has won the
respect and love of every student The
volume contains the usual information
about classes. fraternities, athletics,
college organizations and the various
events of the past year, with good lit
erary features and an abundance of
grindS' at the close. 1t is illustrated
with scores and scores of half-toneS
and original drawings. These draw
ings are one of the best features show
ing the artistic talent of the under
graduates il. a most pleasing manner.
A number of them are worthy of being
classed with professional work. Among
the half-tones are individual pictures
of the whole junior class and pictures
of the athletic teams, fraternity
groups, college buildings and various
boards and organizations. The literary
features are faculty contributions, but
the pages of bright and breezy grinds
are undeniably the product of under
graduate wit. Taste and good judg
ment are everywhere evident in the ar
rangement of the contents, and no de-
tail. however small. is neglected which
will make it attractive and interest

They are telling all kinds of stories
about the operation of the hedgehog
bounty law down in Washington
county. DcbIois seems to be a storm
center of the troubles it gives rise to.
Dehois is Il small farming and lum-
bering town, having 10 inhabitants with
estates valued at $22,51 When the
pOrcupine law came in force the young
nimrods of that town began a crusade
against the varmints, which they car
ried on until the amount in hOunties
had reached nearly $50. There being
no money in the treasury to meet the
claims Il special town meeting was
called last week to see if the town
would authorize a loan of 500 to settle
with the present claimants and also
with others until the town shall get
returns from the State in December,
but the proposition WAS rejected by Il
ma jOrtV of two. In spite of this con-
dition of affairs the boys still continue
the slaughter and the treasurer keeps
on certifying to the death-roll, having
faith that the bounty, although de-
ferred will be as bread cast unCn the
waters returning after many days
when the state shall write out the re-
ward ineDccember.

A charming story of the late queen
of England vouched for by Mr.. A. +.
Story, is told in the Childhood of
Queen Victoria" 1t is SO consistent
with the queens known kindness Of
heart that it speaks for its own
truth.
The Princess Victoria had set he's
heart on buying a doll she had seen
in q shop window; but her mother.
the duchess Of Kent, would not let
her buy it until her next allowance
of pocket-money was due.
At last the day came, and the prin.
cess hurried to the shop. paid over
the six bright shillings, and got the
long-coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with
her treasure in her arms. the prins
cess encountered a wretchedly mis-
cradle tramp, who plucked up cour-
age enough to ask for help. The
princess besitated a moment: then.
realizing that she no longer had any
money left for the man, she returned
to the shopkeeper and gave him back
the doll. He gave her the six shill-
ings. promising also to keep the doll
for her for few days
Then the little lady hurried out of
the shop and thrust the whole of the
money into the hands Of the beggar.
