As the clods of the valley closed over
all that was mortal of Chief Justice Wis
well, 1t is no wonder that the people Of
the town mourned as those who are per-
sonally bereft. He was good man and
true, whom to know intimately was
equal to liberal education. No exslts-
ton to high earthly stations could take
from him the sweetness of his spirit or
rob him of the tenderness Of his fellow
ship. His Interpretation and admins
tration of the law was always fair and
impartial. He could always be depend
ed upon to do the right, as he saw the
right. His associate, Hon. l. A. Emery,
who has been appointed by the Governor
to the position of Chief Justice, by his
learning and integrity Of character, may
be depended upon to uphold the tradi-
tions and dignity of the responsible and
honorable place.

People in Chicago are learning the in
side history of the strike of teamsters
there about year and half ago. The
strikers among the Union" men have
had falling out, and they are telling on
each other. One of the men who was
hired as picket and slugger, said his
orders were to break the legs or arms Of
the negro teamsters who were hired 10
the strikers places, so that they would
not be able to work, and that he was
given egg shells filled with vitriol to
throw at the horses to make them run
away, and did il, too. The story is a
hard one, but it is true, and 1t shows
that the worst enemies of organized
labor are the men whose talent for lead
ership has made them powerful in the
Union, which they have used for their
own selfish purposes.

Heard Before the Governor.

That the Governor aud council have
no jurisdiction in the matter of investi-
eating conditions eaid to exist at the
colony of the Holy Ghost and Us society
at Shiloh was the decision reached
Thursday at the monthly meeting of
that body. Governor Cobb issued the
following statements when recess was
taken this afternoon.
"After careful consideration of the
Shiloh matter and after consulting with
the legal department of the State,
through the attorney general, and
ounty Attorney Crockett of Andrn-
coggin county, who at my request in
vestigated the conditions at shiloh,
The Governor and council have decided
that there Ia no occasion for executive
action in the matter"
This action was taken as the result
of bearing a month ago on petitions
and letters urging the governor to in.
terfere with the affairs of the colony.
Rev. Frank W. Sanford, the leader,
is now in Palestine with about rs mem
beers of the sect from the sand hill at
Shiloh
An effort was made to secure $500
from the State treasury, the claimant
being Mrs. Catherine Houghton OF Penn
lvania. She is the not ler of Thos.
Hougbton who hung himself In the Au-
burn Jail in 1880. After paying all billp,
the money left was TUNED over to the
State, as no relatives could be found.
Augustine Simmons of No. Arson ap
peared for the claimant. In 20 years
the money would become the property
of the State. Later the Governor and
Council being convinced of the relation
ship voted to pay over the money to the
mother.
John M. Taylor and John II. McDon-
aid, State inspectors of steamboat yes
sells, reported that 145 steam vessels had
been given certificates during the year;
90 steamers over five tons paid a fee of
IS, amounting to $465; 1l2 masters and
pilots and 1870 engineers paid fee of so,
amounting to $464; eight steamers have
been added to the Maine fleet; there
have been no accidents TO persons or
vessels.
The council granted full pardon ia
Ephriam Gilman, who has been for 49
ears in the State prison at Thomaston
serving life sentence for the murder of
Mrs Harriet b swan. The murder was
committed in 1881 and Gilman was con-
victed and sent to the state prison two
years later In his plea for executive
clemency Gilman contended that as he
had served 43 years he had paid the
penalty of his crime
Fred Hanson of Hollis was also granted
pardon. He has been serving sen.
tence in Alfred jail for the larceny of a
bicycle. The petition stated that the
endc of justice would be met if Hanson
could be returned to his family, because
his wife was very III and he has two
small children depending on him for
support.

Ida N. Tarben, In her article in tn

Ida III. Tarbell, In her article in the
American Magazine, on the History of
the Tariff, speaks of the Hon. Justin S.
Morrill, of Vermont, the author Of the
tariff bill of 1861, as having been sent to
Congress by the "CoDscious Whigs."
That must be misprint for "Conscience
Wings" as up to that time the Wing
party was the only party in this country
that was in any way troubled with a
conscience, and it had the effect Of keep
ing 1t In minority most Of the time.
The large majority of the founders of
the Republican party belonged to the
''conscience Whigs."
