ONLY WANTED ONE TERM.

Csmpaixned for Congress.
Washington cor. Boston HeraIf.l
When the republican chieftains OF
Maine gathered at the New Meadows Inn,
near Brunswick, early in the campaign,
for conference and consultation, John p.
Swasey, OF Oxford, now elected to repre-
sent the Maine second district in Con-
gress, settled down into q comfortable
chair to regsle the company with wit and
conversation.
swell, Bill,n he remarked, in his dry
way, ssdo you know remember when you
were first appealing toths voters for sup
port! You said you wanted just one term
liz Congress. That was all. Isn't that one
term about up, Bills"
A robust laugh went around at the ex-
pense of United States Senator William p
Frye, to whom he addressed his inquiry.
For Mr.. Frye secured his term - congress
man back at the halfway stage OF the
frat Grant administration. He has been .
member Of enc or the other branch Of
Congress every minute since March 4,
1871, whom he came down to Washington
and took the oath OF once q . member
before the marble rqstrum Of the House,
whore James @. Blaine was PRECEDING -
speaker.
It has been pretty long term, = HUI
morist 6wassy suggested. Il lasted
through twelve ysars Of service in the ma
tional House, during republican control
and democratic control, and Il has listed
Throughout almost twenty -eight years OF

only his colleague, Mr.. Hale. Il II rare
experiences for either republican OF demo-

loyal constituency till all but one Of that
body ara Junior to him.
The Maine ssnstor 10 also one OF The
very Oldest men in that branch OF Con-
gress, counting years, not ssrvicq. The
omcial congressional biographies show
him to have been seventy seven last Sep
tember, and it 10 claimed in some quarters
that he is Just exactly ons year older than
that. However, the senator seems to BE-
getting new youth. He is coming back

instrumental in securing from Congress
and few weeks at Poland Springs have
rejuvenated him since the adjournment Of
Congress.
1t is Understood hsre that the Ash did
not bite in the Rangeleys this year to the
senator's liking, but this will not deter
him from going thither every spring Is
long as the Creator spares him. The Senate
committee on fisheries, it might be men,
toned, will hear nothing officially this
winter about the bashfrinsss of the
speckled fiony tribe in the lakes Of north

that committee OF inveterate anglers year

Our Otis correspondent writes: "One
evening last week Miss Nancy. Jordan.
who lives near the woods, was sitting be-
side the window and looking out she saw
strange and bold sight. Alarge animal
of dark mixed color was directly under
the window, looking! with ferocious eyes
at Miss Jordan. While she was wondering
what kind OF . creature it could BE-,
another came, and still another, until
there was flock that began to search for
apples under tree near the house. Miss
Jordan, not being one OF the timid kind
and used to wild animals, gave them all
the time they wanted while she was get
ting good view, to ascertain what this
new species was like. Next time they
come there is reception prepared for
them, and Miss Jordan is positive that she
will have caught one or more OF q new
creature which never was seen in these
parts before"

| ing the rights of neutrals, laws Of wal
on land, restriction of submarine
mines, limiting the use OF
force for the collection of con-
application of Geneva principles
and in many ways lessening the evils
of war and promoting the peaceful
settlement of International controver-
sly. At the same session IL arbitra-
ton conventions with great nations
were confirmed and extradition,
boundary and naturalization treaties
of supreme Importance were ratified.
We endorse such achievements as
the highest duty a people can per-
form, and proclaim the obligation OF
further strengthening the bond OF
friendship and good will with all the
nations of the world.
Merchant Marine.
We adhere to the Republican
American shipping and urge
such legislation as will revive the
merchant marine prestige of the coun-
try, so essential to national defense.
the enlargement of foreign trade and
the Industrial prosperity Of our own
people.
Veterans of the Wars.
Another Republican policy which
must be ever maintained is that Of
generous provision for those who have
fought the country's battles and for
the widows and orphans of those who
have fallen. We commend the IN
crease in the widows pension made by
the present congress and declare for
liberal administration Of all pension
laws. to the end that the peoples
gratitude may grow deeper as the
memories of heroic sacrifices grow
more sacred with the passing
years.
Civil Service.
We reaffirm our former declarations
that the civil service laws enacted,
extended and enforced by the Re-
publican party shall continue to be
maintained and obeyed.
Public Health.
We commend the efforts designed
to secure greater efficiency in national
public health agencies and favor such
legislation as will effect this purpose.

In the interest of the great mineral
industries Of our country, we earnestly
favor the establishment of a bureau

able bonds of mutual interest and the
hope is now expressed that the Cuban
people will soon again be ready to as
sumo complete sovereignty over their
land.
In Porto Rico the government of the
United States is meeting loyal
and patriotic support, order and pros
perity prevail and the well being of the
people is in every respect promoted and
conserved
We believe that the native inhabit-
ants of Porto Rico should be at once
collectively made citizens Of the Uni

qualified under existing laws residing
in said island should have the privilege
of becoming naturalized.

was extended from time to time by the
committee ten and five minutes at a
time until half an hour had been con-
sdnied. He describes the labo- me We
mint. its high ideals and the patriot
i*r' and true American spirit he'd by

we do not want to eat an employer
as an appetizer for breakfast or az
dessert for dinner" lie calculated, 'sbut
We want fair treatment, and We are
going to have it.
I'VE are not anarchists or DESTROY
ers of property" he continued "I do
not believe there is in existence in this
country force and power that is sutI,

can labo- movement. But YOU might
Just as well destroy the organization of
labor as to prevent their normal ac-
tivities.
Il ask you to compare the influences
which this movement is exerting in
the United States with the revolution
airy movement that are going on In
foreign countries.
IF you outlaw our movement and
make it impossible and destroy the in
centive for men to belong to labor or
ganizations you will find the expression
of discomfort will take some other form
and you will have to deal with THAI"
A somewhat lively colloquy resulted
when Mr.. Gompers took up the record
Of injunctions. He disputed the state
ment made yesterday to the full COM
mittee by Mr.. Emory representing the
National Manufacturers association to
the effect that Is injunctions on labor
was the federal record for Is years
Mr.. Gompers charged that Mr.. Emory
knows this to be a misrepresentation
To this Mr.. Emory, who was present
strenuously objected and when Mr.
Gompers had concluded he was given
an opportunity to be heard again. He
said In his previous statement he had
taken the record furnished congress by
Mr.. Gomcers. -.
His own figures were, he said, 80
injunctions in labor disputes in Ave
years. ~ -
Mr.. Emory took occasion to repeat
his points of yesterday. Mr.. Van
Cleave, who heads the manufacturers
association and Mr.. Smith Of the I'LL
nofs association, were both given
word in conclusion in opposition to
the Injunction plank. Both called at
teption to previous failures of labor 10

urged the committee to look at tho
question without fear.
