Maine 8-Colby 5.

The University of Maine defeated
Colby, Saturday afternoon, on Alumni
field at Orono by a score of 6 to 5. The
score hardly gives fair estimate of the
game, as Colby gave Maine little more
than she had bargained for and in many
respects outplayed her.
The contest was doubtless the most
exciting ever witnessed at Orono, and
the outcome was in doubt from the first
second Of play until the referee blew his
whistle after time had been called in the
last part OF the second half. Both teams
were stronger on the defence than on the
{ fence.
The game was a rough one on both
sides, as is natural in game which is AS
fiercely contested as that which was
played, Saturday, and the players had to
be repeatedly warned. Watkins and
Coombs of Colby, and Bean of Maine,
were taken out of the game for smuggling,
while there were others who should have
been put on the side lines but who es-
capped the notice of the referee.
Cowing was the whole thing for
Colby and his line bucking was fea'-
ure. Dewitt and MeNane also dis;iu-
gushpd themselves, the former making
big gains with almost every play. Ta,-
lor, Parker and Thatcher played the
best game for Maine.

Representative Tawney of Minnesota
has remarkable record. He is the son
of blacksm NTH and is a blacksmith him
self, having spent seven years, after he
was fifteen years old, in his fathers
shop, near Gettysburg, Penn. He saved
his earnings, and when he thought he
HI d enough to pay his fare to the West
he walked through Pennsylvania to the
ONO River, took a steamer down to
Cairo, changed for Mississippi River
boat and kept on going northward as far
as his money would pay his passage.
When the boat reached Winona he had
just 20 cents left, and paid that to an
expressman to haul him and his trunk
from the river landing to a boarding
house uptown. Two hours later he
started out to look for job and applied
for work at the first blacksmith's shop
he found. The boss hired him offhand {;
he remained in the shop four years, and
in the meantime studied law evenings
with man whose acquaintance he h, d
made. A year and half later he wen;
to Madison, Wis, and took year of law
lectures at the university, his first
schooling since he was fourteen years
old. He went back to Winons, was aG-
mitted to the bar, commenced practice,
took up politics, and IL now about to
enter upon his twelfth year in Congress.

MIR. Engel on Reciprocity.

There are few men in Maine who are
better qualified to speak on the subject
of reciprocity with Canada than Hon.
William Engel of Bangor, man who
knows what Canadian competition means
who is familiar with the points at issue
between the two countries, and knows
the conditions of the working men on
both sides of the line. Therefore, his
remarks before the Maine Board of
Trade at Biddeford last week were full
of interest. Without laying any claim
to represent anybody except himself,
Mr. Engel said he believed that the
reciprocity which Canada sought for
with this country and which the free
traders advocated would be of infinite
harm TO lie industries of Maine, and
particularly SO To those of Eastern
Maine, Free lumber from Canada, Mr..
Engel said. would mean running our
mills at loss and an early closing of
any attempt to manufacture lumber or
to make pulp. 1t would mean that our
farmers must sell their oats, potatoes,
beef, eggs, ham and poultry much
cheaper than they do now. 1t would
mean more abandoned farms, more boys
and giils going away from the state to
lin work, more cases of Bankruptcy,
more poverty and more decay in every
industry and every trade.
tontinuing, Mr. Engel gave a very
vivid and most truthful picture of the
good times which prevail in Eastern
Maine today owing to continuance of
our protective tariff policy. Not only
are all the laboring men who reside along
the Penobscot river employed at good
wages, but local millmen and manu-
facturels are sending away for new
help. In our mills the men employed at
the same kind OF work as those in New
Brunswick receive from 25 to so per
cent higher wages. This money not
only makes our citizens more COM
Portable and better dressed, but it puts
money into our savings banks, and en-
ables our laborers to own homes and
puts them in a WY to become capt.

the practice OF faith cure in the case of
an adult. The court upholds the con-
stitutionality of the provision of the
Penal code which declares that "a pei
son who wiltully omits to perform n
duty imposed upon him to furnish medj-
cal attendance to minor" is guilty of n
misdemeanor. II then defines "medical
attendance" to be the attendance of a
physician who has the right to practice
medicine by having been licensed AND

The Ikta,I, Thing

Anstr lila is To have the real thing In
socialism If the Victorian Labor party
can have its way. IL fayors "Col.
lectivist state wherein the lands,
mines, minerals and machinery are
owned and controlled by the people in
their corporate capacity in the common
interest Of all alike; State wherein
there will be no room for any private
receiver of rent; where the total work
to be done will be rightly apportoned
ov the tota number to do il; and,
therefore, a State where all ablebodied
persons will be called upon 10 do share
of work This is the Australian 80
cialist program outlined by the epokes-
man for the league, Mr. Tom Mann. Mr..
Mann further explains that Socialism
aims at 1.-THE abolition of all private
ownership of land" and this he states
shall be done by the ingenious plan of
imposing taxes" SO heavily on land as
to compel its owner to get rid of it. The
sole employer of labor is to be the State
and every farmer who ownes the land
on which he is growing wheat or pas
turing cows is to be driven off his acres,
possession of his title deeds, under the
law of Australian Socialism, constituting
an objectionable offense Outside of
Australia this seems somewhat
chimercal program, but in the land of
advanced thought'' anything is possible
in the way of social experiment. 1t
might be a good thing if Aus +ralia
should try on large scale the radical
plan proposed, and thus give the rest Of
the world the benefit of its experience.

The preliminary hearing In the CT es

to the condition Of Smith, who received
full charge of fine shot IN the leg aud
was unable to be moved, the trial took
place In the III. smith was brought
into the room On streteher. George
W. Cover represented the State. The
respondents hsd failed to secure legal
counsel and stated that they did not
wish to proceed without counsel. After
talking the matter over, however, they
decided to go on and stand trial. Both
pleaded not guilty.
The witnesses for the State were Miss
Emma F. Totman, who resided near the
store of Bracket & Russell; Cony Rus
sell, one OF the members OF that finn; l..
R. Folsom, Esq George E. Harlow,
whose store was broken into; Deputy
Sheriff Varney of Mercer and Sheriff
Lang.
A revolver and dirk knife which had
been taken from the prisoners were
shown. With this the States side closed.
The respondents talked the matter
over in regard to telling their story.
Both said that they wanted to do what
was best for them, but concluded to let
their story go until December.
Mr.. Cover said he did not care to
make any comments on any of the test-
mony and after reading the law which
covered the cases concluded the States
side.
The court found probable cause and
bound both men over in the sum Of
$1,000 each to appear at the December
term of the supreme judicial court. The
men said they could not furnish secure
ties and were returned to their cells.
There were two charges against each
man, one for feloniously breaking and
entering Bracket & Russell's store, and
the other for breaking and entering and
larceny at Harlow's store. As the cases
against each man were exactly alike
they were examined together.

Canadian Militia.
Boston Transcript


Why should Canada 20 to the trouble
and expense Of maintaining, as the
Canadian ministry proposes, a militia
force of 100000 men? What nation bnt
the United States could possibly invade
Canada? The United States has not the
remotest idea OF making war on our
northern neighbors, but II we should
ever come to blows, 100000 men would
be utterly inadequate to defend the
Dominion, which is peculiarly open to
attack. Canada would have an immense
ly long line of defense which could be
pierced at a score of places. General
Sherman once said tina, Canada was
within our lines, meaning that the
Dominion was indeiensible against US.
We fear that Canadian jugoes are get
ting the better of Lqurier's judgment,
and are inducing him to crafty their
taste for militia glory. The Canadians
are a brave and hardy people, and cap
able Of excellent soldiership, but they
have consuming love of titles, Al d
"colOnels" are almost as common in
Canada as they are in Kentucky.
