In good report and evil report the
Democratic party has maintained its
vitality tor more than century, ard
it still has long life before if, it our
free institutions are to be perpetuated.
In the next four yerrs new conditions
aud new men are to come to the front
Without seeking to assume the role of

that in 1908 the logical candidate of
the Democratic party will be some
one of the type Of Mr., Folk, of Mis-

~ finished his four years term as
Governor OF that state, and who, If
he serves the people in that office as
he has served them in less important
public positions. will have made for
himself a name and reputation which
will command national recognition.

that by the defeat of Judge Parker not

A SUGGESTION

DR.. w. E. Minghini is making a
good Mayor as every one knows and
and it is because he is faithful to his
duty az he sees his duty. He is ever
looking to the interest OF the town
and trying to inaugrate plans and
means 20 improve conditions. In a
conversation with the Mayor a lew
days ago he expressed to us his de-
termination to urge the adoption OF
plan for the improve ment inefficien-
cy Of the fire department.
The plan is to lay tax OF $50 per
year on all fire insurance companies
doing business in the town which will
yield sum OF several thousand dol
lars. each year. These funds to be
expended in the improvement Of the
FIRE fighting apparatus and the pur-
chase aud maintenance of good team
of horses for hauling the engine and
other apparatus. The city is often in
need of team to haul stone and
other articles and this team could be
used for the purpose ard would in
that way pay for their keeping. The
street com mittee would no doubt find
this plan would beagreat convenience
as we'll as great Saving The Mayor
suggests that with other equipment
com bination wagon be purchased
and it be equipped with extinguish-
ers and other apparatus.
This plan is already in vogue in
Winchester end works to the salts
faction not only of the town but OF
the insurance companies as well.

ACTION OF NEUTRAL NATIONS
in suPPL1ING THE RUSSIAN
SHIPS CRITICISED.
THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET FAIR PLAY
ISLANDERS DID NOT EXPECT 70
HAVE TO PLAY LONE HAND
AGAINST EUROPE.

London, Nov. 28.-Baron Suyematsu,
son-in-law of Marquis Ito, president of
the japanese priyy council, whose
comment fully indorsed by Baron
Hayashi, the Japanese minister here,
discussing the irritation of Japan at
the continued supply Of British coal
to vessels of the Russian Second Pa
cifc squadron, said:
I'VE feel strongly that Europe in
general is assisting Russia in a way
we never contemplated Even in Eng.
land individuals are rendering indirect
assistance. Although do not think
that Japanese are unduly nervous re.
garding the effect Of the arrival of the
Russian squadron in the far East it
would never have been able to put to
sea but for the assistance of subjects
Of neutral states, in some cases more
or less officially connived at. With
out English coal the Russian squadron
could not have gone far, and it is my
belief that when contraband is being
carried on in such a wholesale fashion,
the government concerned should take
steps to prevent "a continuance Of &C.
ton prejudicial to another nation, es-
pecially an ally. There is all the great
er necessity for this when the action
is prejudicial to the interests of both
nations. The value Of the alliance to
both Japan and Great Britain is unaeS
niable and therefore it is the bounded
duty of both to do everything possible
to cement it, even to the extent of in
venting means for doing SO when they
do not already exist.

SEIZED B
CANA.DIAfS'sS
Ten American Fishing Vessels
We're Rounded Up By
the Government.
Each Boat Was Fined and All.
the Seines and Fish We're
Confiscated.

East Port, Me-, Nov. 20. Ten
American fishing craft, including
eight sailing vessels, and two
steamboats,, have been seized by
the Canadian fisheries protective
cruiser Curlew and fined for ille-
gal fishing in Canadian waters
tributary Of Passamaquoddy bay
near ST. George, N B. The fish
ing craft were seized near st.
George last night, though the an
nouncement Of this procedure
was not made until today.
Three specific charges we're
preferred against vessels: That
they had fshed on Sunday; that
they had illegally caught fish in
their possession, and that they
had seined Illegally in Canadian
waters. For the first two Of
fenses each boat was fined 500
and for the last 5000. In addi-
tion to this all seines and fish
were confscated.
1t is understood the fines will
be paid and that the entire mat
ter will be disposed Of without
involving any international ques-
tion. The aggregate value of the
craft is about $4,000. The seiz-
ure is the most extensive that
has been made by a Canadian
cruiser for many years.

a unique and effective method Of

samples of all the articles produced for
export, among which manila fiber, Of
course, holds the chief place of prom
inence, while in a second hall are all
the manufactures from every country
that are imported and find ready
market among the pppulace. Thus the.
business man gets q dual lesson. He
sees what he can plOftably take from
the Islands, and also what he may
probably send to them. When it is.

GREAT WESTERN ROAD SOLD
PERslsTENTLY REPORTED THAT
UNION PACIFIC HAS BOUGHT
THE MAPLE LEAF.
Chicago, Nov. 2e.-The Post says:

Chicago, Nov. 29.-The Post says:
The report that the Union Pacific
has purchased the Chicago Great West.
ern road was reiterated during the
afternoon with such positiveness and
circumstantial evidence in its favor
that it received general acceptance.
The deal, which has been pending for
some time, was said to have been
closed and the Chicago Great Western
will shortly lose it's identity as an in.
dependent road and either be wholly
absorbed by the Union Pacific itself
or distributed piecemeal among the
Eastern connections of that system.
One report has it that the Chicago.
Great Western will be divided between
the Chicago and Northwestern and tla
Milwaukee and st. Paul systems, both
of which have for several years been
close connections of the Union Paci-
fc. The Northwestern, it is said, will
take that portion OF the Maple Leaf
which runs from Mafshalltown, Ia, to.
Kansas City, and the Milwaukee and
st. Paul will take the st. Paul end of
the line.
There is another view of the case,
however, which is that the Union Pa
cific will keep the Maple Leaf and
operate it as the Eastern end of its;
own system. 1t will, it is declared,
give the Union Pacific very good
outlet from Omaha to Chicago and the
short line from Omaha to ST. Paul.
