lasting cures.
This remedy has been so uniformly
successful and made so many remark
able cures that j.. M. Gleissner will
in future sell Mi-o-na under a posi-

ADDENDA ON
THE BEACH

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Oct.
21.-The four-masted barkentine Ad-
denda which ran ashore near Cape Pal
User, at the entrance to Port Nichol-
son, was bound from Lyttelton to New
castle, and was in ballast. The vessel
was driven on a steep, shelving beach,
so yards from land.
Captain Astrup and the crew suffer-
ed great hardships before reaching a
place of safety. : line was carried
ashore by desperate efforts on the part
of two sailors, who fought their way
through a treacherous surf.
The crew We're hauled ashore, and
trudged along for some miles They
were starving, drenched to the skin,
and were quite exhausted when they
reached a camp, occupied by two set
tiers.
It is believed that If help had been
delayed another hour, some of the men
would have died.
The cook being too weak to continue
the journey, turned back, and arrived
safe at another homestead.
The Addenda seems not to have been
damaged, and the captain hopes to be
able to refioat her.

Figures Which Satisfy Everyone.
Uewiston ,Journal)

HeWistOn JOurnal.)
Mr.. Davis's calliope (Which used to be
an organ) expresses profound satisfac-
ton at the last republican campaign
card dealing with State and national
issues. 1t may please the calliope to
know that this satisfaction is shared by
thousands Of republicans to whom
straight facts and figures bring relief
after watching the figure-juggling
performances of Cyrus the Great in the
democratic vaudeville.
The calliope says that it likes the new
card becaufs it has figures differing
from those which appeared on the ''Lo-
cal Issue" cards.
The local issue cards quoted the book
liabilities of the State in 1882 as $780,
1881 (see State treasurer's report for
1882, p. 49, and in 1902 as $3,S29, 031.36
(see State treasurer's report for 1902, p.
20. There the local issue cards left the
matter.
The new card (Which the calliope
says it likes 50 WELD goes one step
further ana shows that today but
s1.s53.OOO of the s3,s29331.36 is real
liability against the State.
If this demonstration OF good
stewardship on the part Of the re-
publican party pleases the calliope of
Mr.. Davis, then there is hope for the
Maine democracy!
But looking at it in a purely partisan
way, it seems to US that a democrat
who could get campaign satisfaction
out Of these figures would esteem it a
favor to be run by an automobile.

A Communication,

Editors Kennebec Journal: -
In today's issue of the Morning SEN
tinel Candidate Beane of Halloween,
has an open letter announcing his plat
form of principles upon which he APP
peals for votes. Among them Is the
declaration that he believes in the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. This
declaration is made by every Demo-
cratic convention held this year and -
reiterated by the Democratic stump
speakers, but in every case. with one
single exception. wherever the Demo-
Gratis are in power in this State they
entirely ignore the prohibitOry law and
allow the open sale OF liquor. If all
Democratic pledges are regarded after
election as this one is, not much cons
fidence can be placed in them.
The great issue In this campaign and
one which will have the greatest effect
upon the happiness and prosperity OF
the people is the enforcement OF the
prohibitory law. Threats are made by
some citizens in this county who have
sometimes voted the Republican ticket
(but who are at heart Democrats) OF
cutting the names of Sheriff Ham ana
County Attorney Leigh on the Repup-
lican ticket because of their faithful
performance of duty in the enforce
ment Of this law. I hope every tenn
perance man in this county who be-
lieves that the sale of Intoxicating
liquor as a beverage is detrimental to
the best interests of the county VIII
see to it that these officers are re-
elected with an increased majority,

The Voice Of Vermont.

The whole land is listening, this
and there is no uncertain note in the
tones that are heard The old Green
Mountain state speaks for Roosevelt
ana for Rcrublicanism with an I'M
mistilkablc emphasis which thrills the
party in every section of tn" land with
confidence, courage and cXultation. At
the hour of going to press the returns
were not complete. but those received
made it certain that the Republican
victory would closely approach. if it
did not equal, the landslide figures Of
1900. 1t is a glorious and sweeping
Republican victory, just such as was
won out in Oregon at the state cleo
ton in June: ana just as that earlier
contest showed that there is no recess
sion of the Republican tide in the
great West. so the Vermont election
shows that the East is mistaken in it's
allegiance to the party which has given
the country progress and prosperity
In Vermont, as here in Maine, the
Democrats have made an aggressive
campaign, uniting their factions and
seeking to befog and deceive the voters
by the discussion of various state is
sues. But the Vermont Republicans
kept in sight the main issue and did
not forget that the whole country was
watching their vot" as Il barometer
Indicating the political drift of the
year. How handsomely they did theft
duty is shown by a comparison of tn,
vote of yesterday with the Septenbe,
returns in the Presidential years OF

dence will be placed by the voters In
the system Of figuring which has been
inaugurated in the State for campaign
purposes. 1t has been conclusively
shown that the officials of Maine are
not paid high salaries in comparison
with the salaries paid to similar off,
Gals in other states that there has not
been any such increase in expenditures
during the past 20 years as has been
repeatedly claimed by the Democrats;
that the hue and cry raised by the
Democratic candidate for governor and
the Democratic press is false alarm:
that the bonded debt OF the State has
been greatly reduced and that the
burden Of State taxation now rests
more lightly upon the people of Maine
than ever before.
The Republicans Of Maine welcomed
this issue when 1t was raised, for the
simple reason that a fair and reason
able discussion Of II could not do other
wise than show a faithful stewardship
on the part Of the Republican party
and a condition OF State finances that
no party and no citizen need regret no-
be ashamed Of. OF course, the issue
has not been fairly discussed on the
Democratic side az has been repeatedly
demonstrated by the Advertiser and
other Republican papers Of the State
In several instances the Democrat,
newspapers have been forced to prac-
tically admit the error OF their claims
and readjust their arguments to At the
revised figures forced upon them by
the recital Of the real truth. But they
are still making claims that the truth
does not substantiate and that cannot
be proven from the official records Of
the State. They will undoubtedly con-
tinue to argue upon the basis Of these
false claims until the election is over
But the people Of Maine having de-
tected them In many false statements
and unfair representations concerning
existing conditions will be wary about
believing what they say at all in this
campaign. A cause which needs to be
backed up by falls" representations and
attempts to deceive the people does
