1--WE are quietly marching toward the
presidents home. I believe he can
do something for these children, al
though the press declares he cannot.
Congress last year passed a bill CIV
ing $4,000 to fill the stomach of all
old prince, and he Endorsed that, and.
II he could do that he surely could tell
congress to pass bill that would take
the children out Of the God-accursed

s to be, l want to see a battlefield
where the capitalist lies stark and
where the socialists are planting their
banner"

SHEPHERD CONTEMPT CASE.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 25.-Expres-

Of the state denounce the arbitrary
stand taken by the supreme court in
the Shepherd contempt case. There
have been great many references to
the recently enacted law In Pennsyl-
vania by which it was attempted to
muzzle the press. The courts aston
ishing position has not only been
likened unto the Pennsylvania gov
ernor's attitude, but it is freely pre-

apparently, that the court has overshot

MAINE INDUSTRIES.

Guilford, with its four mills running
at their full capacity, and the large
amount Of building going on is an ex-
tremeIy busy place this season.
An Ellsworth correspondent writes:
''The lobster fishermen of this section
are not having q prosperous season by
any means. The cold weather, scare
ity, and lastly the destroying of num-
berless traps in the recent storm and
high Winds have been serious hinder
ances, and looks IS though the indus
try will suffer considerably. 1t was a
common sight after the storm of last
week to see traps floating about and
drifting in shore, some partly filled, all
of which was o loss to the owners, who
were unable to get cut to tend them
during the time on account of the ele-
ments, and now they must rebuild
them, and buy new gearing to do So
But little work is being done by the
sardine factories along the coast at the
present time owing to the scarcity of
fish. For several days past the only
Weir in Mathias bay from which any
fish have been taken is the new weir
just completed by w. J. Larrabee and
others that is situated near lower point
with the exception of new weir just
completed at Starbird's Creek by Capt.
c. H. Thompson. The weir at the low
err point is the largest in the Machias
bay. The pound is 410 feet in circum-
ference and the wing connecting the
weir with the shore is about 1000 or
200 feet long. 1t is most substantially
built, but it is the purpose of the own
ers to further strengthen it before the
severe storms of fall and winter set in
by driving about 40 more stakes inside
the pound, each being driven at an an
gle and the top end dashed to the other
stakes in such way that the new ones
will act as braces, thus preventing II
from being broken down by the heavy
seas that will roll in at times upon the
shore where it is located. The site Sc
lected is one where the fish have been
known in the past Ito come in large
shoals ana the fact that small lots of
fish have been taken from it every day
for some time past when no other
weir in the bay is fishing would seem
to indicate that the prospects for this
weir are especially encouraging. no
particular uneaSlneSS is felt as yet ny
the fishermen on account of the scare
ity of fish, as it is recalled that last
year-tha most prosperous eyer known
about Machias-but comparatively few
fish We're taken until July. The great
enemy of the small herring is the dog
fish, and it is said that should these
get into the bay in large numbers that
it would undoubtedly have a tendency
to keep the herring out. But as yet
only few of these worthless. ana
destructive fish have appeared in these
waters and it is hoped that the fishlng
may not be broken up by them. Al
though crews are still at work on
some of the new weirs, by far the larg-
est part of them have been completed
and it is estimated that about S3ooo
have been expended in this way during
the past few weeks

There has been a general increase in
passengers and freight rates on the B0s-
ton and Maine railroad and one of the
most extensive Is that of three months
tickets between Portland and Boston.
Formerly the ticket cost $50 and now ii is
$40. Between Haverhill and Portland the
rate has been made $50 instead of $4S for
a three months ticket. Rates from Bos-
ton to the summer resorts are higher than
heretofore. There has been an addition
of about % per cent to the old tariff and
this applies to all three months tickets
and some single fares and round trips.
MileageS are the same as ever. two cents
a mile in 1000 mile books. Freight charges
will be higher on all sorts OF merchandise
and commodities. Horses and cattle will
be billed as first class, save in carload
lots, cutting out the second and third
which makes the cost of sending these
animals by rail much higher Beer and
ale Will be raised also for the new rate is
~ per cent. in excess or the old. Car
riages are shipped as first class and re-
corded at 400G pounds instead of 1850 as
formerly. 1t would take powerful horse
to haul such a buggy over Maine roads
Brlck are recorded as ive pounds each
instead of four and at an increased rate
per car load of each 10000 pounds.

The "Nutmeq State"

The Hartford Courant Is one of the
best newspapers published anywhere
and it is always aggressive in its loyal
ty to Connecticut. At present it is wag-
ing a campaign against the use of the
nickname, the Nutmeg State" as ap-
piled to Connecticut. 1t considers the
name offensive. and calls upon all peo-
pie of the state to refrain from it's use
and to discourage it's use by others.
1t considers malicious and unfoundcd
the assertion that the Connecticut
Yankees Of an earlier generation used
to make and sell nutmegs made of
wood, upon which pleasant story the
true that the use of the name helps to
perpetuate Il tradition which is very
likely libellous, 1t is also true that the
name has largely lost, by it's associa-
ton with thrifty, prosperous. noble
state, it's discreditable first mean
ing. There might be pointed out num-
erous examples where names similarly
applied to bodies and communities
have been worn in later years with
dignity and pride. Few of us think of
that early story of shrewdness and in
genuity and dishonesty when we hear
the Nutmeg State" spoken of.
A name which has chung for genera
ton after generation will be cast aside,
ever at the appeal of such worthy
paper as the Courant. No substitute
il offered for the old nickname, and in
familiar and affcctionatc usage there
must be some name for a state besides
that which it legally bears. Several
other states have as good reason to
object to the names by which they are
commonly known, as being inappro-
pirate at least, if not discreditable.
Connecticut's reputation does not suf-
fer any when it is called the Nutmeg
State" and it has nothing to be
ashamed of in the designation.
