Maine and tho Protective Policy.

Candidate McGillicuddy might add
to the interest of his public addresses
by telling what resulted from the
last Democratic attempt to revise"
the tariff, in the passage Of the infam-
Gus Wilson German bill which Presi-
dent Cleveland himself denounced in
the strongest terms and to which he
would not affix his signature. With
this experienc still fresh in memory
the American people will demand that
any future revision of our tariff be
made by the friends of protection
Men who believe in safeguarding
American labor and American in
dustry-the American producer on
farm or in factory-against the
hardships of unrestricted competition
with the products of foreign lands.
where labor is infinitely poorer paid
and the standards of living vastly
lower than in this great land of pro-
gress and opportunity. The products
of Maine-both of farm and of factory
are better protected today under
the Dingley tariff law, than ever be-
fore in the history OF our State
Under it our people have prospered
as never before in their history-a
fact that is clearly shown by the
enormous increase in our Savings
bank deposits since this law went
into effect. Do the people Of our
State desire to see the Dingley tariff
law revised by the Democratic party

any more confidence in Bryan and his
policies now than they did when he

vitality concerns the future growth
and prosperity of our State. This fact

the intelligent voters of Maine, what

views in the past. There is no dis
position on the part of the Republican

that if elected he will execute all the

there are more serious arguments that

we'll known that while III september
Maine votes for state ticket, the result
of that election has a powerful bearing
upon national politics. Let our State
elect its Republican Governor by mar
row margin and the result will he herald
ed abroad as indication of a rising tide of
Rryanism Give Mr.. Fernald an old-time
rousiug ma jority and the Republicans of
the entire country will feel their strength
increased. This is re 'son enough why the
Republicans of Rockland and Knox coun-

Mr.. Gardner Tries to Explain.
portland Advertiser)

Candidate Gardner is busy explaining
these DAYS According to reports of
speech which he made at Lewiston last
evening. he repeated his assertion that he
is not owned by any man or body of men
This statement refers to the Waterville
tri,,nvirate Mr. Gardner began his
denials hy stating that the WaterNllie
contingent did not want him for Il candi-
date in tie first place and now that they
havo him, he is running his own band
wagon. Had Obadiah let it go at that
very likely the great public would have
lost interest in the matter anyway. The
Watervile Democrats are on the band
wagon. We will take the candidates
word for it that could they have had their
way the band wagon would have been
driven by some other man.
Mr. Gardner is also busy explaining his
reference to the tax commission. lie says
it is not true that he does not have faith
their labors will come to naught. AS we
have already pointed out, this commits
sion was created with the knowledge and
consent Of the Democratic members of
the last legislature. They did not inn
prove their opportunity to vote against it.
either in committee or on the floor Of the
senate and house. Apparently when it
was proposed to create such a body to
study the whole question of taxation for
the guidance of the next Legislature. the
Democratic lawmakers regarded it as a
good proposition. Mr.. Gardner according
to tine Rockland Opinion has been helping
the commission in it's work. 1t is only
within the last month that he has made
known his opirion that what it is doing is
waste Of time. candidate must have
issues. Mr.. Gardner is trying to make an
issue OF the tax commission which his
party helped to create and which he has
been assisting. But it is too late in The
day. in view of the facts, for Mr. Gardner
to make political capital in this fashion.
BY his actions at least he has endorsed
the very commission which he now de-
clares to be of no Use

The Granae Vote.

A lot has been said in the campaign
about 1.-THE Grange vote" and lot more
will be heard about it during the COM
ing weeks Everybody knows that
Obadiah Gardiner of Rockland was Sc
lected "a the Democratic candidate for
Governor simply because the coterie
of Democratic bosses at Waterville felt
that they would thus be able to work"
the Grange They are already learning
that this great and powerful nonpolit-
ical organization is not to be worked"
of its Intelligence and it's public spirit
held by the Democratic leaders and is
making it plain that it's vote cannot be
delivered" to any one man of any par
ty-and more particularly when that
man stands for the unsavory record
and the unsafe policies of the Democ-
racy Thomas J. earle of Hollis Cen
ter. past master of York County Po-
mona Grange thus sums up the situa-
ton in a letter to Portland paper:
There appear in some of the Demo-
cratic papers some very absurd claims
of the many thousands of votes that
Obadiah Gardner will receive from the
members of the Grange who are Re-
publicans, sufficient to elect him. The
Grange membership in Maine is practi-
calIy $4,000. l have canvassed the
western portion of the State in regard
to voting membership and find less
than 90. per cent of the membership are
legal voters. That cuts it to- 1900.
Allowing only 50 per cent to be Repub-
leans, that cuts it to 5000 Two years
ago W. r. Cobb received 6942I votes
for Governor: Cyrus w. Davis. 81, 1863
votes for Governor. Now. providing
all should vote for Gardner, it would
not land him. and there will not be
throughout the State | per cent that
will vote for him. | have never heard
one Republican patron signify the least
inclination to vote for Gardner, while
| can bring forward several in one sub
ordinate Grange who have always vot-
ed the Democratic ticket, who say for
Governor they shall either cut the
name of Gardner or vote for Fernald.
The Republicans of York and Cumber-
land counties have no use for man
for Governor who had rather bring up
his boys where rum shops are free and
opcn than in prohibition state. Bert
NJ. Fernald is clean. upright. practi-
cal business man, and not only the
Grange Republicans. but all the other
Republicans, with the help of many
hr, holiovn in SnhriptV Will
elect him by d largely increased major
ity from two years ago. 50 let all this
.twaddle about Republican Grange vo~
tiers rallying to the support of Obadi-
oh Gardner pass for what it is worth.

Removal of Sheriffs.
portland Press. }


1t is assumed by Mr.. Gardner and the
Democratic press that the proposition of
the Republican platform to give the Gov
erGor power to remove sheriffs is the In
PRODUCTION of a novel doctrine. There is
no novelty about it, save in the oualitica-
ton that appointments to fill such vacan-
cies shall be made from the same party-a
prudent rrovisO into nded to prevent 1e-
movals for partisan reasons. 1t Is not
novel it was the practice during the first
30 years of the States history. BY the
constitution as it stood until 1881 sheriffs
were appointed by the Governor and
council and held the Office at the pleasure
of the same. In that year the consttu-
tian was amended to make sheriffs cleo
tive. Furthermore |. resolve was intro
duced in the last Legislature, providing
for an amendment of the constitution
substantially as proposed by the Repub-
lican platform of this year. 1t proposed
to amend the constitution in section II,
article V, part first, so as to reaaas fol-
lows:
Section T. He the GOVERNOR shall
take care that the laws be faithfully exc
cuted. Sheriffs shall obey all orders of
the Governor directing them to faithfully
and diligently enforce the laws of the
State. Upon their neglect or refusal to
do So they may he removed. after hear
ing. and their successors appointed by the
Governor. Any vacancies caused by such
removal shall be filed by appointment
from the political party to which the per-
son so removed belongs. The 1.egisla-
turs shall enact laws to carry these pru-
visions into effect

Death of Senator Allison.

The public service looses one of its
most distinguished and useful men In
the sudden death of Senator Allison OF
Iowa. He was the senior member OF
the Senats in length of service. hav-
ing taken his seat March 4, 1878, over
IS years ago, and having served con-
tinucusly since that time His term
ould have expired in March. 1909, but
at their recent primaries the Iowa Re
puhlicans expressed their desire tc
have him remain in the Senate an
other term, so that had he lived he
would have served at least until 1915
a period of AZ years.
To the last Mr.. Allison was vigorous
shock to the country at large. Be
fore going to the Senate in 1873 he
served for eight years in the House OF
Representatives and so his total con-
tinuous service at Washington has
been AZ years. But Senator Allison had
far more than mere length of service
to make him distinguished. For many
years he has been recognized as a
leader in all matters Of national legis
lation and few men in Washington
have possessed created influence. He
was the finest type of citizen in public
life, unselfishly devoted to the public
welfare and sacrificing his own inter-
ests to the service of his country. In
all his long years in public life there
har never been any suspicion of scan
daI connected with his name and he
lived and died relatively poor man
Senator Allison was native of Ohio
and was 10 years of age.
His death leaves the two senators
from Maine the seniors in the Senate
in point Of continuous service, the
service of Senator Hale in that body
dating from March 4. 1881. and that OF
Senator Frye dating from single day
later Next to them comes Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island who was
sworn in as senator September IA
1881. and fourth in rank is Senator Gull
lom of Illinois whose term of service
began March 4, 1888.

Abandoning the Democracy.

We spoke yesterday in this column
Of the desertion of the Democracy by
Col M. A. Murphy of Lewiston. for
40 years a leader of the Democratic
party in that section of the State. His
open letter, in which he expresses his
disgust with the Democracy as now
dominated, is one of the features of
the campaign in Androscoggin county
but it appears that the Lewiston in
stance, while it attracts wide interest,
is really but one of many. We are in
formed that there is scarcely a mail
Fernaid, the Republican nominee for
Governor, a letter or two from Demo-
Gratis. who say they are going to vote
fer him this fall. Sometime there
arc eights or ten Of these letters in a
single mail When Mr. Fernald re-
ceived the first one or two he thought
little of their significance, aside from
tHt' peISoudl pressure "hiSH ivy e"'e
him; but as they kept coming and in in
creasing numbers he began to see that
they are the campaign straws which
Show beyond all doubt the drift Of this
years political current One letter
that came to him a few days ago was
particularly gratifying. 1t was penned
by a man well along in years and it
was straight to the point. Il have
voted the Democratic ticket for &c
years." wrote the old man, but I'm
going to vot. for you this fall and I've

"Fine old Spanish emeralds" is

Fine old Spanish emeralds" is a
phrase which means something quite
different from what it seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined in
Spain, but after the conquest of Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities of loot, of which emeralds
formed an important part. In this
way the finest emeralds came into
possession of old Spanish families, and
as very few had been seen in Europe
previously to that time all the bes,
stones soon became classed as fine ole
Spanish emeralds. Today the express
sion still applies to the best emeralds
of any source.
