Free Silver as a Maine Issue.

The Waterville Sentinel solemnly as
serts that the theories Of Bryan
'ridiculed in 1896, are now almost uni
versally accepted as correct by finan-
ceers." This, like many other things
which the Sentinel asserts. would be
important if true. Is it true? Per-
haps the Sentinel would like to make
is to l an tissue in this campaign
There will certainly be no objection
from Republicans. One by one the
Democratic tissues" have been sadly
laid aside by the statesmen who dis
covered them. Even the porcupine
bounty has been discarded as an issue,
though Candidate Davis once fondly
dreamed-when under the influence OF
Doc Jones' laughing gas-that it would
win him the governorship. The Demo-
Gratis would gladly let go of the r. e.
A. issue if they could. but like the man
who had hold Of the bears tail they do
not find it convenient to do so. The Eek
travagance' issue proved boomerang,
and somehow the people refuse to flock
to the standard of free rum. If in
some mysterious way, free silver
which the Sentinel is convinced is now
universally believed in-can be made
an issue the day may yet be saved for
the Democrats. To be sure, the peo-
pie of Maine have in earlier years ex-
pressed themselves somewhat en-
rhatically as opposed to the follies and
fallacies of Organism, but now all is
different. To be sure. the silver
countries of the world have all adopted
the gold standard. but now. the Senti-
mel informs us, they realize their mis-
take and are sorry for it. Free silver
is the correct thing and is to l is the
proper ratio, BY all means let Candi-
date Davis, make the financial views of
Bryan an issue in this campaign. They
will win him as many votes as the
porcupine issue or the r. & A. issue
and have fully as much bearing on the
campaign for the governorship. All
hail to this latest Democratic issue.
Give it room and watch it grow!

kENNEbEC COUNTY FINANCES.
The County Commissioners Call the Turn on
Democratic Fa|sehoOds.

There has recently appeared in the New Age and Watevie
Sentinel in display type very remarkable statements
rather misstatements, relation to the finances of Kennbec
county.
The made that three years ago county had
surplus Of $4,000 This is without any foundation of fact
the county had such surplus in 1903 nor has it ever had
january the county had surplus of $I68Ioo6
shown by the report published at that time. Y.
January 1893, the liabilities of the county and above
$1,000 January 1906 the of the
county $56I than the liabilities showing gain
in thirteen years of nearly $4,000. And we'll known large
amounts have been expended during the time above referred
to in making permanent improvements the county buildings
Prediction confidently made in the above named articles
that the county tax for next will be nearer $1,000
SO stated as to give the impression that will be $4,000
or nearly that amount This entirely and no
one can present facts figures support the statement
The tax for 1905 in round numbers $4Sooo and during
that year the county made net gain of $8Io4.
Great stress is laid the fact that the county has made tenn
poray loans this year. Any at all familiar with the facts
knows that this and other counties have make temporary
every unless they have large surplus treasury
The county tax due the day of September
and the remainder on the first day Of January following its
assessment.
Twohds of the year has expired before the first dollar Of
the tax becomes due and the entire wear before the second
insalment is due
As the bills and of the county should be and are nad
as they become due during the year, the necessity of making
temporary loans must be entirely apparent to any one pvp The
matter thought 1t is the thing as is done every
by every municipality in the country "n authorization of t"
The expense of the Cooper trial. amounting to nearly s1soo
presumably the principal argument which any one would
attempt to make in support Of the claim that the county tax
mus. DC largely increased and while this large expenditure
must be met but for which the administration is not
does not necessarily follow that increase in taxation must
be made for that purpose AS shown above the county on
e present tax rate made gain of $1,000 for the year
soud the relative receipts and expenditures for 1oo6
aside from the Cooper case, differ materially from ,os -
the preceding year. it be that over one,1f &c th
special expense would be taken of from the receipts Of the
present year, and would then be safe to assume that the
could be paid from the taxes for 1907 and 1908 with
out increasing the taxes for those years.

Instead of building one big mill on
the West Branch of the Penobscot at
Burnt Land Rips 1t seems very proba-
BILE that the Grand Northern Paper
Company will build two mills in that
immediate vicinity. The Great North
ern had made plans for a $50 ton pulp
and paper mill at Burnt Land Rips,
which is few miles above Midway.
In making their surveys for the dam
and sinking test pits for the founda-
tions it seems that the engineers found
the conditions at Eurnt Land Rips
such as would not warrant the build
ing there of a dam and mill such as
was proposed. Accordingly they
went farther up the river to Dolbeare
Rips, another good watcrpower about
two miles above Burnt Land Rips. A
few miles above Dolheare Rips is
Ledge Falls, another fine waterpower.
The Ledge Falls privilege is owned by
John Cassidy and Charles p, Weber
OF Bangor. The dam which the
Great Northern Paper Company pro-
poses to build at Dolbeare Rips is eX-
pected to be of such height that 1t
Will flow the river back over Ledge
Falls, thus deprivjng them Of their
value as water peower 1t is under
stood that the owners of the Ledge
Falls privilege and the Great Northern
people have come to an agreement re-
garding the amount of damages due
the owners of the waterpower from the
flowing out of Ledge Falls and with
this obstacle removed the Great North
crn is free to go ahead with the de-
velopment of the power at Dolbeare
Rips. 1t is expected that the power
at Dolbeare Rips will be used for the
operation of a mill to manufacture
wood pulp and that-the paper mill will
be located at Burnt Land Rips. This
will divide the mill which it was first
planned to build at the down river
power.

Young Woman Assaulted.

Miss Nancy Dawson was attacked yes
terday morning in the outskirts of Can
ton, Ga. 1t is supposed the assault was
committed by white man, blackened
as a negro. As The young woman was
passing through grove near the Pres
byterian church, she was seized by her
assailant. Miss Dawson, who is of
athletic build, fought desperately. Her
clothing was torn from her body aud she
sustained ugly bruises about the face,
neck. and bosom, but she beat off her
assailart. In the struggle Miss Dawson
scratched the mans face, and the stains
on her fingers indicate that lis face was
blackened by art and not by nature.
Posses were Immediately formed to pui-
sue the criminal. The idea teing gene
raj at first that he was negro, Lewis
Bates. a neer WAS arrested near the
scene OF the assault and buought to
town. A mob Immediately formed cry
ing scr the prisoners life, and but for
the ruse of the sheriff, by which the
negro was hurried to Jail, he would have
been lynched. 1t is said the prisoner
can establish an albi. Late Yesterday
afternoon a white man, with his face
and hands blackened was arrested some
miles from town, but when brought be
fore Miss Dawson she coulI not identify
him and he was released.

As she prayed sic swayed oddly, and

woman's lips, and the two women moved
toward her. Her head was down be-

her, but she did not answer. One oil
the women lifted her head. She was
dead. Ihe thin black clothing, the thin

were found a rosary, and three
pennies were mute witnesses to the pow

the church. The surgeon said the poorly

made. in conformity With the Church
and State separation law.
Mondays making OF inventories was
productive of pnany disturbances IN The
provinces. At Montpelier small army,
compos d of infantry, engineers and
eendarmes stormed the Church OF Notre
Dame. Fierce fighting ensued inside
the church and many persons were
wounded. Seven of those resisting the
efforts Of the commissioner we're arrested,
included among them being Count de
Kergcrlay. There was also lighting
outside the church between Catholic:
and anli-CalhOlics.
Al Toulouse members of the cOngre-
CATION barricaded themselves in the ca
thedra and rag tocsin, causing the
authorities TO abandon all attempts to
make an inventory. The manifestanls
then proceeded to the Masonic Temple
and knocked in the door.
