that those with limited incomes are
suffering instead of obtaining their
share of prosperity adds greater
weight TO the Democratic claim.
A late convert to tariff revision
is the Bath Anvil, a Republican
paper in good standing in the State
of Maine, which in an editorial en-
titled The tariff Injuries Maine"
declares that: Maine without
question is suffering a great deal
from the high tariff schedules and
her influence in the Republican
councils ought to be exerted in
favor of revision. Unless the
party grants revision this tariff is
sue is extremely likely to complete
the work Of purely state questions
and throw Maine into the Demo-
crsticcolumn.' The Anvilfurther
declares that the Maine vote in the
electoral college and in Congress,
are III greater danger now than
they have been since Ia, Civiiwar. "
As-the next Congress will be
controlled by the slandpatterS and
therefore no tariff revision bill he
allowed To be considered and the
next Republicans rational con,ca-
ton will undoubtedly declare for
protection. these Republicans in
Maine and elsewhere who desire
tariff revision can only secure it 10y
voting the Democratic ticket.

RAILROAD RATES.

The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States that a
railroad may be lawfully required
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to make adequate connec-
tons with other railroads for the
convenience of the public is most
important. This is especially so
because the Court decided that il is
the primal duty of a carrier to
furnish adequate facilities to the
public, though, some pecuniary
loss from rendering such service
may result, so long as the general
earnings of the carrier are not so
impaired as to deprive it of a rea-
sonable profit on account of this
particular requirement.
The logical result Of this dec;-
son will be far reaching, for i
would seem to entirely cut the
ground from under the contention
of the railroads that where two
cent passenger rate has been made
the maximum rate and such would
be Improbable therefore it is I'M
reasonable. 1t IS the earnings OF
the railroad in its entirety over the
whole system, both passenger and
freight, that must be considered in
deciding whether the company is
deprived of property without due
process of law.

DRIVING THE LOGS.
Skill and Activity of the Expert River

Skill and Activity of the Expert River
man In Action.
First and foremost your true river
man can ride log. This does not mean
merely that he is able TO stand upright
or to jump from one to another with
out splashing IN, though even that is
no mean feat, as a trial will convince
you. That Is the kindergarten of It.
The saw log in tho water is not only
his object of labor, but his means Of
transportation. Your true riverman on
drive seldom steps on land except to
eat end sleep.
a journey down stream is to him an
affair of great simplicity. He pushes
into the current q stick OF timber,
jumps lightly atop it, leans against his
peavy and floats away as graceful and
motionless rs Grecian statue When
his unstable craft overtakes other logs
he deserts it, runs forward as far as he
can, the logs bobbing and awash be-
hind his spring, and so continues on
another timber. Jack Boyd once for @
bet rode for twelve miles down Grand
river on a log he could carry to the
streams bank across his shoulders.
Fully half the time his feet were sub
merged to the ankles.
Nor does quick water always cause
your expert riverman to disembark.
Using his peayy as balancing pole
and treading with squirrel-like quick
ness as his footing rolls, he will run
rapids Of considerable force and vol
ume. When the tail of a drive passes
through the chute Of dam there are
always half dozen or 50 of the rear
men who out Of sheer bravado will run
through Standing upright like circus
riders and yelling like fiends.-Stewart
