Never has this country known sucn

has it seen its presidency descend to such
a shameful degeneracy of dema gogy.
The boast of its high moral ideas and
the elevation of its ethics far above

villainy, is made contemplate By revela-
tons of the glaring Inconsistency of the

What was such a great sum to be used

1T is a sign of political corruption for
Senator Foraker to have cOrrespOnded

He was on hunting expedition near
Louisville, and happened TO fall in with

admiration for the city mans marks

man finally inquired.
Dudley was the reply.
After some exchange of incident and
experience the bishops 1nterlocutor
hazarded:
"say, Dudley, what business 10 you
follow?"
I'm a preacher"
"Oh. get out! What are you giving
me?"

"In Louisville"

ken of by the senior senator from Utah

He said that Mr.. Sherman had re-
piled 10 the question by the sweeping
declaration, "The people do rule" Then
Mr. Roberts showed that on the con-

Mr.. Roberts declared that conditions

of the strong points placed in the Dem
ocratic party that the rule OF the peo-
pie might be more direct--the popular
election of United States senator's by

Once. when Macready was perform

manner at rehearsal displased one of
the actors. q native American of pure
western type. This Claudius in Ham
let resolved to "get even with the
star for many supposed offenses, and
in his way he carried out his purpose.
When, in the last scene, Hamlet
stabbed the usurper, he reeled forward
and. after most spasmodic finish,
stretched himself out precisely in the
place Hamlet required for his own
death. Macready. much annoyed,
whispered fiercely:
Die farther up the stage, sir
The monarch lay insensible, upon
which. in a still louder voice, the Ham
let growled:

Mr.. King has been Democrat all his

state outside of Augusta. And for
general information I want to give a
few figures relative to our state
finances. which I am going to take
principally from the State treasurers

what is being done with this money

day morning. For the past 10 days off,
GERS have been trying to locate some of

ir court and give their testimony, but
they have not yet been found. AS
result a conference was held Monday

respondent. and by agreement the case
against Williams has been continued
until the March term
Mr.. Young stated that the criminal
docket would be taken up Wednesday
morning, however. but he was not
sure which case would be presented
first. 1t will either be that of the State
VS.. viii Palmer of Harmony, against
whom the grand jury last Friday re-
turned an indictment for cheating and
another for false pretenses. or else 1t
will be that of the State vs. Charles
Edwards of Pittsf1eld. An indictment
was found against the latter by the
last grand jury for malicious mischief.
Mr.. Young was asked if he intended
to appear in court when the hearing Of
the liquor cases was commenced and he
replied that he Gid. He did not care to
say much about the matter which has
awakened so much interest in all parts
of Maine, but stated that he intends
