The resignation of Judge
Cantrill takes the wind out Of
the Republican sails to large
degree. It is stated that they
were preparing to make his con-
tinuance as member of the APP
pellate court an issue in the
campaign:
Says the esteemed Kentucky State
Journal without being irrelevant

ousting the Louisville city officials for
election frauds, and the decision
multiplying the Gerrymander of the
state by the machine. also take the
wind out OF the Republican sails.

the country. It has been out of pow
er so long that its leaders have come
to look on the government as some
thing apart from the people. and
Judson Harmon in Cincinnati
speech said:
They say the tariff must be
revised only by its friends and
they are its friends We say it
must be revised by the friends of
the people, and so far as the tar
III is concerned. we, and not
they. are the friends of the peo-
pie because nothing is sacred to
us which stands in the way OF
the best interests of the entire
people.
That might have come from a
member of the Russian douma.
Pray, Mr.. Harmon, who elected
these Republican congressman and
senators and this Republican presi-
dent?
Did they not stand on platform
that reafTirmed the principles of the
protective tariff?
Did they not have ample popular
majority to warrant them in infer
ring that people preferred the pro-
tective tariff
1t is unfortunate that the national
Democracy must resort to such sub
terfuge to raise an issue, fighting a
guerilla warfare and taking advant-
age of every little question of expe-
diency that is raised among Repub-
Leans, rather than announcing some
great progressive issue and standing
by it.
Better would it be for the party If
all. like Bryan, would simply declare
for some abstract principle of undis-
puted right, and then when they see
the Republican administration fol-
lowing the we'll defined course Of
honesty, charge the administration
with trespasslng.

NO LIMITATION
OF HER ARMAMENT
Russia Would Rather Discuss
Maritime obligations
Wishes TO Bring England and Japan
Into Lime Light About Con-
traband of War.
NOTHING ON DRAGo DOCTRINE

st. Petersburg June 4.-Russia's
attitude and line of action before The
Hague conference are now beginning
to take shape
In regard to the limitation of arm
aments Russia maintains the posi-
lions laid down in its note of March
10, 1905. and with Austria and Ger
many, is frankly opposed to any dis
cussion of this subject which it still
feels can lead to no useful result
Russian authorities, however, have
not abandoned hope that an eleventh
hour agreement which will enable the
question to be disposed of before the
conference amicably and without bit
terness.
Russia regards it as highly de-
sirable that the questions of mari
time war and rights and obligations
of neutrals now so important after
the Russo-Japanese war, should be
systemized.
The Russian program provides for
discussion of principal problems
which arose during the recent war.
Russia is anxious that the marine
powers, par excellence, should par
ticipate yearly and with good will in
this labor and that England and
Japan should not persist in their at
titude of reserve toward the discus.
sion.
Contraband Question First.
OF first Importance in this depart
ment Russia considers the question
of contraband, at present situation
of utter chaos. The difficulty of adj
justing English and continental views
on conditional contraband, such as
coal machinery, horses, etc, is real
lied but il is hoped by Russia that
the conference can elaborate con-
vention, enumerating what articles
shall be considered contraband and
under what conditions, and provid-
ing international regulations for
prize court procedure, perhaps even
an international prize court of the
highest instance.
A corollorary question which Rus
STA hopes viii also result in interna-
tional regulation concerns obligations
of neutrals in supplying belligerents
with coal and similar quasi NUM-
tons of war This question was of
acute interest during the Russo-Jap-
anese war. Definite rules concern
ing the the right of asylum in neutral
ports also are desired.
Russia has as yet made no official
announcement regarding her attitude
in regard to discussion of the Drago
doctrine, proposed by the United
States, but The appointment of M.
Prosor, a Russian authority on this
question, indicates Russia's willing
ness to participate in the discussion
of this subject If other powers more
vitality Interested are willing to ad-
nit its inclusion in the program.

TRANQUILITY GRANGE HALL BURNED

General regret was felt throughout the
county when the news spread abroad last
Thursday that Tranquility Grange Hall in
Lincolnville had been burned to the ground.
pleasant and well attended dance was
held there on Wednesday evening, for which
Keyes' orchestra of Belfast furnished the
music. The affair broke up about ]. 80 a. m.
Thursday, and at that time everything was
apparently in good condition. Early in the
morning, however, one of the neighbors dis
covered that the place was on fire, and he,
as he thought, extinguished it. About six
O'Clock it broke out again, and this time it
had made such headway between the walls,
etc, that it was impossible to save the build
ing, though those living in the vicinity turn
ed out in numbers and did everything pos
sible. The furniture, including piano and
an organ, the regalia belonging to the order,
and the doors and windows, were saved. The
Insurance, amounting to $1,000, does not
cover anywhere near the cost Of the build
ing, which was erected only few years
ago and was one of the best grange halls
Ill the State. 1t was noted for its excellent
dancing floor, was most conveniently ar
ranged. and was supplied with running
water, etc. The building was only recently
freed from debt, and its loss will be great
blow to the social life of the town, which
centered there. The grange from which
Tranquility grew had hall situated near
the post office at Grange, which burned a
number of years ago and was never rebuilt,
most OF the members having joined Tran
guilty. The fire is thought to have origi-
mated from cigar stub thrown in box of
Sawdust in the gentlemen'S dressing room
The furniture and regalia, ETC., were moved
to store at Lincolnville Center. 1t was re-
ported on good authority this week that the
hall will be rebuilt soon.

The Eastern Maine fair, held in Bangor
last week, was favored with fine weather
from start to fnish-"Beal weather" they
call it up river-and is pronounced a finan-

games decidedly interesting, and the mid
way shows all that could be desired. This
