Judge Parker has been notified of
his nomination by the Democrats for
the Presidency and his speech of &C
ceptance is before the public. 1t is not
a particularly able or statesmanlike eff
fort, and must be disappointment to
many who had built great expectations
on Judge Parker's long and, as it now
appears, judicious silence Excepting
a reference to his gold telegram and
the action of the Democratic conven-
ton in retaining him as a candidate
there is no allusion to the money ques-
ton. Touching the trusts, he believes
that they may be left to the common
law. Touching the tariff, he favors a
reasonable reduction" taking effect
after reasonable period" Touching
the Philippines, he seems to favor their
independence, though he does not ex-
actly say SO. He is opposed to great
military ornaments" or embodiment
in foreign disputes. He discourses
vaguely upon the dangers OF the usur-
patton of power, and he uses lynchings
and the Colorado disturbances as illus
trations of disregard of law. As a
contemporary well says: ''The speech
is perfunctory, announces no great
principle, discovers no new reform.
There is no rallying cry in it and no
call for enthusiasm "

Belfast has never been lacking in
musical and dramatic talent and in the
files of The Journal are recorded the
presentation of dramas and vocal and
instrumental concerts by local amateurs
that would have done credit to profess
SIGNALS. The Belfast Band to-day stands
second to none in the State. The Gil
bert and Sullivan operas have been pre-
scented here with full choruses and Or
chestra in manner that fairly eclipsed
the performances of the best travelling
companies. But the latest achievement
of local talent-the presentation of an
opera, written, composed, staged and
costumed at home-goes beyond any
thing ever before attempted here; and
it is with both pride and pleasure that
we record its complete success. The au-
thor and composer of ''The Changers
Daughter" Mr.. R. P. Chase, may we'll
be styled born musician and has to
his credit several successful compost
tons. To this opera he has given years
of study, thought and work. All the
little details were carefully worked out
by him, so that the entire production is
his creation. Those whose ears are de-
lighted by the bright and catchy music
the taking songs and the quaint con-
ceits, and whose eyes are pleased by
the graceful dances and effective tab
leaux can hardly realize the labor re-
quired to produce these effects, grouped
as they are about a local theme that
blends them into an harmonious whole
While the author and composer has
done well his part, credit is also due to
the fEsh and well trained voices that
give full expression to his tuneful num-
bers. Belfast may we'll be proud of
them, one and all.

Stiletto Wins at Waterville.

In the Breeders meet at Waterville Aug.
10th, Horace Chenery's Stiletto won the 225
pace in three straight heats. In the first
heat Princess took the lead with Claudia
Hal close second and Stiletto coming right
along in third position. Claudia Haf lost his
place by a break and Stiletto picked up Prin-
cess. 1t was handsome fight between them
and Claudia found his feet soon enough to
be in at the finish, the three horses finishing
in bunch. In the second heat Stiletto took
the lead and held it all through, and that
tells the story of the final heat. Princess
was second in the I'd and Sd heats. Time,

"No Dull Season" is the caption Of
an article in an exchange which brings
to mind the change in business meth
DDS here. Time was-and not so very
long ago-when little or no advertising
was done except in the spring and fall
and during the holidays. After Janu-
airy first there was practically sus-
pension of business, and in July and
August, when the city and vicinity
have had large number Of visitors,
there was nothing doing. George w.
Burkett inaugurated the January bar
gain sale and it was so successful that
he had to add largely to his force of
clerks and his advertisements brought
customers from all parts of the county.
Eventually others followed his example
until the January bargain sale became
fully established. Now the opportuni-
ties the summer season offers for the
sale of certain lines of goods are fully
recognized, as our advertising columns
testify. Every line of trade is or has
been represented, and bargains have
been offered in all. 1t has thus come
about that in every month in the year
our Belfast business men are offering
special inducements to buyers, equal to
those of the larger cities, and if the
profits are smaller the difference is
made up in larger sales. As an ex-
change well says: advertising has
ceased to be a matter of uncertainty
or speculation. 1t is neither science
nor an art. It is the simplest kind of a
business proposition. If merchant

One way to boom a place is to ask
more for your property than even a

and at the same time undervalue the
