This is a Republican Year.
(Bath InleDendent)

The nearer the time for the fall
campaign and elections comes the
better seem to be the chances of big
Republican victories in the city
county, district state and nation
Gradually the breaches in the party
are healing and the Republicans all
along the line will show more solid
front than they did two years ago.
This is good and it is no wonder that
it is not pleasing to the Democrats.
At one time they believed that they
would cut a wide swath in Maine this
year but they are seeing their mistake
and if the Republicans continue with
caution there's no good reason why
the old state shouldn't be heard in her
old time manner in September and
again in November

Lest we forget that there are other
powers with navies to boast Of we are
reminded that Admiral Beresford of
England on the recent occasion of the
reception of President Fallieres had
under his command IA first-class
battleships and six armored cruisers,
not to speak of smaller and auxiliary
craft. Thus it is apparent that our
achievement in the Pacific can be
equalled at will by at least one naval
power. What gives particular
significance to Lord Charles Beres-
ford's fleet is that it had been formed
without drawing vessels from any
other station, or depicting any other
officers command. 1t is but a fraction
of the maritime force of Great Britain,
whereas our battleship fleet re-
presents high percentage of the total
fIghting force of our navy. However,
Great Britain is in a class by itself in
naval matters and makes it its fixed
policy to maintain a navy at least as
large as those of any two other powers
combined

lenses, lived on to vex the wise men
who were trying to unite the whole
land for the common good. Blaine,
like others, had to engage in the war
fare of words full of political fury.
and which were of no service to God
nor man. But such was the custom
of the times.
Yet no matter how high ran the
swirling tide of political campaign
vituperation, Blaine of Maine was al
ways wanted at the great meetings of
the most enlightened bodies of nier-
chants and manufacturers when any
thing of Importance as to CONNER. ial
relations was to be considered. There
We're Senator's of the Empire State
who for some years united in black
guarding Blaine. Yet Blaine was al
ways asked to the great public meet
ings OF the very flower of the COM
mercial and professional life of New
York While those Senators who Wilt
fled Blaine We're never invited to any
of those meetings. Blaine of Maine at
the great banquetS and conventions
of the Nations most distinguished
merchants and manufacturers and en-
gineers and inventors was always
welcome: was always listened to with
profound respect, and what he said
was cheered to the echo, and was next
day laid before millions of readers in
the home and foreign press.
Blaine was the embodiment of the
genius of the American people. He
always preached the glad tidings of
the gospel of hope that came bubbling
and sparkling from his warm Celtic
heart and high souled mind. God has
blessed our land with many publicists
of light and leading whose earthly life
is long over but whose work Is yet
shining more and more unto the per-
feet day. Among those good men.
none is held in greater respect by our
great and good business men of today
than James Gillespie Blaine of Maine.

A little while we danced and sung,
A little time we played,
Nor dreamed the roses that we hlin;
Could ever, ever fade
A little while when We were young
All, long ago, sweet maid.
For we were happy children then;
All, years ago, it seems,
We heard the fairies il: the glen,
And tracked them by the streams,
And listened for the little men,
And dreamed our golden dreams.
Oh God. when I remember those

A rush of inward weeping flows,
A Hood of secret tears.
