Here and There.

The course of the administration in
the Cuban troubles is such as to COM
mend it to every one, except those on
the one hand who want to see the island
become American territory at the first
excuse, and those on the other hand who
don't like it because it doesn't give them
a chance to find fault. There is no doubt
that action by this government was not
only justified but demanded by the con-
iition of affairs in Cuba. There is also
little doubt that the action taken has
been as wisely and judiciously done as
possible. Cuba is to be given a chance
to reorganize her government and con.
time her independent existence, and
those of our patriots who can never con-
sent to see the American flag hauled
down will not be offended, because the
Cuban and not the American flag still
floats over the island.

The ErYeburY Fair.

This years fair of the West Oxford
Agricultural Society at Fryeburg,t which
was held last Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, was record breaker. There
was a good show in all departments, and
the crowd was something such as was
never seen there before, although this
fair always has good attendance. 1t is
estimated that fully $4,000 people were
ON the grounds Wednesday, and good
crowds on the other two days.

Opportunity is nevertheless afforded
the kickers 10 denounce the Plat amend
ment, by virtue of which We have any
authority to intervene in the affairs OF
Cuba. They declare that it was breach
of faith with Cuba, and so on. 1t is
doubtful if much of this criticism is made
in good faith. We had at large cost re-
moved the intolerable disturbance which
existed in our island neighbor. The
Platt amendment was wise measure
designed to protect this country against
any possible dangerous consequences to
our own interests resulting from that
action. Under it Cuba can maintain her
independence as long as she does not
produce another condition of intolerable
disturbance such as existed there before
our war with Spain.

Nor is it perhaps entirely seemly for
us to declare, as some do, that the
Cubans have in these few weeks con-
clusively demonstrated themselves unfit
for self-government. We have only to
go back generation and a half to reach
a time when the nations of Europe were
beginning to doubt whether the United
States had not made a failure after
seventy years of trial. And it took us
four years to settle the matter by force
of arms.

In a statement made to the commits
sion investigating the second class mail
matter question by Assistant Postmaster
Hubbard of Chicago, he suggests that a
law obliging bulk matter to be carried
outside the mails would go long way
toward solving the problem. The carry

would result in an immense saving, and
in the same sentence the opinion is ex-
pressed that the publishers can make
better terms with the transportation
companies than with the department.
In the absence of full explanation, it is
difficult for the average man to under
stand why, If better terms can be made
with the transportation companies than
the publishers now get from the depart
ment, there should be such an immense
saving to the government in discontinu-
ing the business. In other words, il the
carrying of bulk matter can be done by
the transportation companies cheaper
than it is now being done, why is the
government losing so much on it every
year?

The oHcial report showing the gold
output OF Alaska for 1905in excess OF
$4,000. 900. or six times what &c was
ten years ago and an increase OF so
per cent over 1904, throws a strange
light on the ridicule that was heaped
upon Stewards purchase in 1867 for
S7,2OO,O0O Of that region. then de-
nounced as "a prohtless land Of inn
perial dimensions" Yet Il is known
beyond a peradventure that only a
comparatively small part OF Alaska s
gold resources has as yet been de-
veloped. Most of the gold still comes
from placer deposits. whereas richest
and by far largest returns will come
from quartz, which is only fairly be-
ginning to be developed and which ex-
lists in inexhaustible quantities.
The annual profit on gold alone thus
already exceeds the total purchase
price OF Stewards "proatless land" and
yet gold is far from being the most
valuable Of It's mineral resources. al
though they have not yet been equally
developed. Scientific explorations con-
Quoted by the war department and by
private capitalists have demonstrated
the copper deposits to be so rich and
extensive that, as one authority afhrms,
n copper elsewhere should be suddenly
annihilated, the world could be album
dainty supplied from thence. All the
useful minerals are also found in lib
eral store. like copper and gold quartz,
awaiting only the transportation IA
cilities which great financial interests
are preparing. To all this mineral
wealth are to be ADDED the immense
resources Of lumber and the mex
haustib1e series Of fishing banks, which
stretch for 1900 miles to the limit Of
the Aleutian islands, already the basis
of an extensive industry and trade.
In Alaska gold. literally as nature
has provided It there, is really to
prove, as It has proved elsewhere, only
the lure to draw mankind TO other and
larger good fortune than even the yell
low metal Itself yields.

TRusr DESIGNS ON ALCOHOL.


The apparently authentic report that
the Distillers Securities company has
been formed for the purpose of ar
bitrarily controlling the price and dis
tribution Of denaturized alcohol will
hardly cause surprise, although such
trade conspiracies are lately falling
into troublous times. 1t is responsibly
alleged that the price of alcohol has
been multiplied by manipulation to
three times what 1t was after the trust
was dissolved several years ago. If
SO. 1t is in short more formidable and
oppressive in the reorganized form
than before, and the prospective vast
consumption of denaturized alcohol
under the new law exempting it from
tax opens up field that is tempting
to trust greed
1t is a wholesome sign. however,
that such a trust conspiracy is
promptly confronted with energetic re-
sistance and determination to prose
cute 1t under the national law. The
large buyers of alcohol and other in
| iuential interests that are associating
themselves for self protection against
unlawful trust conspiracy are assured
that every power OF the department OF
justice will be employed in co-opera-
| ton.
The government, moreover. can 60
much further than the old prosecution
of the Whisky trust in the courts for
violations of law. for the Treasury de-
partmsnt should be able, as has beer
done in Germany and other countries
to facilitate manufacture OF dena.
turized alcohol in local distilleries
throughout the farming region, where
the raw materials are abundant, sc
that the chance for monopoly would
be greatly narrowed and yet serious
frauds on the revenue prevented.
The vital purpose of tax exemption
for denaturized alcohol is to furnish
a cheaper agent in motiYe power, hea
and light for the people,, and relie
from trade conspiracy controlling pc
troleum and it's products. That an eff
fort should be deliberately put fortl
to defeat that purpose before the tai
exemption law is fairly in operation
shows the lengths to which unlawful
trade conspiracy dares to go. Blu
there is now, fortunately, reason t.
anticipate that such hardihood win b,
met by a spirit both on the part of tn,
people and Of the government adequate
to prevent serious damage.
