The gold fish is rot generally credited
with being a very hardy representative

riencc of some of the specimens of his
kind which are spending the winter in
Augusta it begins to look as if in spite
of his good clothes and refined asso-
Citations. his vitality is pretty deeply
seated, after all. According to the
story of Il gentleman who has two of
the fish, neither of which is over an
inch and three-fourths long in small
globe of glass. they will stand quite an
amount of freezing and still bob up Sc
renely when thawed out again. A few
nights since. the man. who keeps the
globe in his store window. forgot to
remove * to warmer part of the
store. as is the custom. and in the
morning came down to the store to find
the water in the globe frozen solid.
The fish were there. of course, and the
yellow sides of one showed through the
ice just plainly enough to resemble the
sample specimens of gold barring quartz
which used to be shown as coming
from a certain Kennebec county gold
mine. The ice in the globe was thawed
and the fish were taken out. apparently
dead, but after being in water awhile,
one revived and was soon as lively as
ever, and was put back in the globe.
The other. however. appeared to be Il
hopeless case, and floated in a basin of
water for several hours, belly up and
without a wiggle. The man had given
I'D all hope of saving it. and was taking
it from the basin to give to the cat.

A New and Important AIIy,

For 30 years. the Boston Pilot, the
the Catholic and Irish-American public
opinion In the United States, has never
wavered in its fealty to the Democratic
party. This year it waivers. and not
only wavers but goes over to the other
side and endorses President Roosevelt
in strong and unqualified terms. This
paper, Of which the present editor is
james Jeffrles Roche, LID. the we'll
known author and poet. speaks out in
recent issue as follows:
THE Pilot is gratefully mindful of
what Theodore Roosevelt has done in
the way of justice to our co-religionists
throughout his whole career. We say
justice advisedly, not favor; for fair
play is all that we ask of any man or
party. He has been in the pubic
service for over twenty years-during
all his manhOod'S life, in fact-aS State
legislator, Civil Service Commissioner
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. com

| dice of race or creed or color, except
prejudice in favor of the poor. the OPP
pressed or the despised. We say: BE
grateful to your friends, and do MOI
forget them.' That is why people with

their hearts for Theodore Roosevelt

A Different Type Of Courage.

Not all the prominent Democrats or
New York are like Judge Parker VINO
waited until the nomination was
securely bottled up before he uttered "A
breath of the declaration upon which
everything hinged. There is an emf
nent citizen Of Buffalo, N. Y. by the
name of Charles w. Goodyear, who has
been mentioned by the Democrats as
its candidate for governor in the COM
ing campaign. He has been given the
endorsement of Grover Cleveland and
other prominent members of the party,
and his chances have been considered
very bright.s A few days ago the ques-
ton was raised as to his attitude in
1896 and 1900 and with an exhibition OF
frankness and courage that wins the
admiration of American manhood. re-
p,rdlesa of party, he comes out with
this reply:
II don't want any misunderstanding
or deception regarding my political at
,itud. and acts in 1896. Whether l am
oyer y candidate for Governor or not,
| want the fact known that l did vot"
for Mr. Mckinley, and I'm proud OF 1t.
I believe that some of the planks OF tn"
Chicago PLATFORM if ever they should
become effective, would be ruinouS 10
the country, and that the best way TO
defeat Mr.. Bryan and the principles ne
stood for was to vote for Mr.. Mckinley,
aud | did it. ard don't want any mis-
understanding about it, either.
This utterance may mean that Mr..
GOODYEAR is throwing away his chance
of being nominated for governor, but it
at least shows him to be man Of
honesty ana with the courage of his
convictions. Incidentally his utterance
is a most scath!ng criticism Of the
Parker policy of silence which can be
conceived. In Drawing the risk of los
ing political advancement rather than
pursuing gross duplicity and deception.
he presents a contrast to the sphinx of
Esopus, which makes this latter gentle
man and thu friends who tricked tn.
St. Louis convention into nominating
him. cut n very sorry figure. A man
of the Goodyear type of courage might
not have been nominated by the st.
Louis convention, but he would at least
have kept his self-respect, and he
would not have been jeered at by the
man who was twice the Democratic
candidate for President, as being the
willing beneficiary of lying and con-
cealment." The Goodyear type of
courage and honesty speaks before; the
Parker type speaks after.

In his speech at the Waterville caucus

for the Legislature, Hon. Cyrus w.
Davis, the Democratic candidate for
governor, said this among other things:
There will really be but two issues
in the campaign we are now entering
upon. The first is the financial issue,
in which all men, business men, farm
crs, and men who earn their bread by
the sweat of their brow, are deeply in
terested, and the second is that great
moral issue, the question of resubmis-
sion. We propose to hammer these is
only in the cities but in the towns and
in the villages of the State. These is
sues will be discussed by us in every
hole and corner of Maine. In this cam
paign it will be our duty to cast our
ballots for the advancement and growth
of Maine, and against the party whose
policy has retarded the financial and
moral interests of the State. We must
vote for Maine, for our Maine cities and
towns and for our Maine homes"
The debate on these lines will he vel.

Gamaliel Bradford of Boston, unlike
his sturdy old Puritan ancestor who
came over in the Mayhower, is a man
of shattered nerves and has habit Of
seeing things. Just now the DOGGY Of
militarism obscures everything else,
and he even sees in the coming maneu-
vers at Manassas a step towards "a
centralizing military power to wipe out
states as local sovereignties and weld
the nations together by means of for
eign war; He is firmly convinced that
the election of Judge Parker would pre-

turned to their homes after their course
at the Harvard and Cornell summer
schools. Their stay in this country was
so brief that probably what they
learned from books was not very ex-
tensive. but the trip to this country,
and the contact with our people and in
stitutions and the influence of even a
few weeks at our great educational in
stitutiOn, will be of vast benefit to them
