Labor Conditions in New England.

The search being made by the infor.
nation division of the bureau OF lmml-
grafton in Washington for facts and
figures showing the need of laborers in
New England, is already meeting with
some success. The bureau has recelv-
ed replies from about 40 persons in
Massachusetts to the circulars distrib-
uted. These replies indicate that there
is a widespread demand for workmen
of various kinds.
The bureau of industrial and labor
statistics of Maine is cooperating with
the national bureau of information in
an investigation of labor statistics III
that State. The State Commissioner
Thomas j. Lyons, has reported that
there is a widespread demand for eff
cient farm laborers at average wages OF
81 per day, and that there is plenty Of
cheap farm land to be had by prospec
tive homemakers. Mr.. Lyons founC
that Scandinavians were most in de
mand as laborers, but that immigrants
from other northern European coun
tries were welcomed.
Mr., Lyons writes the commerce an(
labor department that his inquiry EN-
braces study of the several foreign
colonies in Maine, including the French
Canadians in Aroostook county, thu
Swedes, the Irish, the Firms in OXFORD
and Knox counties and the negroes IL

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Nothing so grows upon man as the
notion that he has something coming to
him from the government. Drug clerks,
brakemen, school ma'amS, ministers
temporarily uncalled, adventures, of
all sorts,-all rushed for government
land, not for the purpose OF developing
it, but to get the value there was in it
above the governments fixed CHARGE
to cash in their right" A horde of
land spectators followed in their foot
steps.-theSe ''Settlers" would soon
have land to sell. Still more i'll evil
dence were the agents of loan compan
les seeking farm mortgages for their
Eastern investors. AS matter of fact
these loan companies often outbid the
spectators; they habitually loaned six
hundred, eight hundred, or one thou
sand dollars on these farms that were SO
easily acquired from the government at
the fixed price of two hundred dollars,
loaned it to these pseudo farmers who
had never MIXED COW and never ex-
pected to.
The writer has in mind an investiga-
ton zone of many which he made in
1889 while land Inspector for loan
company. Forty one of these newly
acquired "homes'' in central Nebraska
were examined, all previously mort
gagged to the company; of these, three
were occupied by the original owners,
three by migratory squatters, and thirty
five were wholly abandoned. These
thirty eight missing mortgagors had
not tried to farm the land, and failed;
they had simply converted their fright"
into the loan company's cash, and van
ished. What wonder that there came
a mournful day of reckoning in the
farm mortgage BUSINESSES. K. Hum

"Obadiah Gardner has been taken up
as a make-shift. Cyrus w. Davis was
slated as the candidate. He declined.
Then efforts were made to induce eth
er Judge William H. Newell of Lewis
ton; Charles F. johnson of Waterville
or Mayor Frederick W. Plaisted of Au-
gusta, the party leader. They all duck
ed. Then Obadiah Gardner was taken
up, partly because he was the only
available man for the Democratic poll
ticians to tie, and party because they
think that, because he had been at the
head of the Maine Grange for 10 years,
he can pull the farmer vote. In this
last supposition the Democratic leaders
will be mistaken and disappointed. The
farmers are all thinking men and they
are not to be easily caught by the tricks
Of the politicians.
"The Democratic politicians do not
want Mr.. Staples because they we'll
know that they could not control him.
He would not have been boSsed by the

done which entities him to this honor
from his party? He has not been a

Has he ever had any Legislative expert

is true that Mr.. Gardner was member
of the Legislative committee of the
Maine State Grange. What did he do
as member of that body? Perhaps
later we may show exactly what he did.
At this time make the assertion that
he did not make the least exertiOn to
favor the measures which his party be-
lieved should have been pressed to the
attention of the legislators. On the
other hand it appeared to us that he

BOrah Did it.

That it may be known that he and he alone. was
responsible for the removal of District Attorney
Ruick and Marshal Rounds, Senator Borah says in
a communication to an Idaho Falls newspaper:
l do not care to further trespass upon the space
in your paper but will say in conclusion, to the
people OF this state, that whatever criticism is to
be made SO far as the delegation in congress is
concerned for the dismissal of Mr. Rounds should

no part of it should fall upon Senator Hepburn or

The Hearst Platform.

Mr.. Bryan has made public his analysis of the
platform adopted by the independence party con-
vention, held at Chicago under the auspices of VIM
R. Hearst. Of that platform Mr.. Bryan said
1t contains a number of planks which are dent-
lcal with, or substantially similar, to the panks of
the democratic platform For instance it favors the
election of senator by direct vote, the democratic
platform does. It's tariff plank is quite like our
tariff plank its plank on the trusts, while opposing
private monopoly, is not specific as ours its
railroad plank does not differ much from ours; its
plank on Asiatc immigration is quite similar and
ITS labor plank, like ours, contains declaration in
favor of trial by jury, and in regard to the exemp-
ton of labor organizations from the operation of
antitrust laws Like PLATFORM it condemns
the extravaganza of the republican party and de-
mands greater economy. 1t does not advocate how
ever, the establishment of department of labor
with secretary in the cabinet; it does not oppose
Imperialism which has been used to justify the in
crease IN our standing army, and its plank as to
publicity of campaign contributions is nearly so
strong ours.
"The question that must confront the member
OF the independence party is this Will he assist in
the defeat OF the democratic party, which stands
for so much that he favors, merely because he
cannot get all that he would like?
Either the democratic party the republican
party will win, and the voter who, preferring the
democratic platform to the republican platform
joins with the independence party merely assists
the republican party, and thus defeats several of
the reforms IN which he is interested
Take for instance the plank in favor of the
election OF senators by the people The democratic
party has Endorsed that reform in three campaigns
the republican convention defeated the proposition
by an overwhelming vote. If the democratic party
succeeds, its members pledged to this reform
The republican party is not pledged to it, and the
republican candidate has gone farther than to say
that he is personally inclined toward it. This re-
form is necessary before any other federal reform
:an be secured. Is not the Independent voter usti-
led IN helping the democratic party to secure this
-eform?
49, in regard to the labor question The demo-
ratio party is in favor of remedies demanded bv
Vage-earners, and a wage-earner who votes with
he independence party simply defeats the reforms
n which he is interested The same argument might
e made IN regard to those who favor the tariff re-
orm, the determination of the principle of private
monopoly and the remedy of other evils which have
rown up under republican administration The
uest1on is not whether one can get all the reforms
hat he wants, but how he can get the most reforms
he democratic party offers him the best oppor-
unity to secure that which is obtainable at this
me"

For the Republican Ticket.

Week by week. with unfang reguarity the Nor
newspapers of Idaho devote their utterances to
praises of Taft and Sherman and the national re-
publican cause urging voters of the Mormon faith to
cast their votes for the ticket nominated at Chicago
None of them have given voice to a plea for the
success of Bryan and Kern for the ticket nominated
at Denver.
That their utterances are inspired, all residents of
the Mormonized states understand and none so we'll
as the Gentle agents of the hierarchy who have
been operating under pretence that portion of
the Mormon vote could be diverted to the cause of
the democratic party.
One does not have to long participate in the pol
itics of Idaho to learn that Mormonism takes no
position politically until it is directed by the head
of the oath bound organization that is called
church, that it may prey upon the prejudice of the
supernatural
When it is that all the papers that cater
to the mental appetite of the sanity horde are
regularly advising their readers to sustain the re-
publican ticket, the judgment of the public uner-
r1ngy asserts that Zion has spoken in its behalf
and that there is no appeal from the voice that
comes direct from the spokesman of the Lord.
Although this is matter of common knowledge
a long and vexatious campaign of opposition to the
constitution of the state has been conducted on the
fiction that its promoters were seeking Mormon sup
port OF Bryan and would secure fair share of the
votes of the church if they were permitted to pre-
vail in the councils of the party.
That their plea a fallacy, no one knows bet
ter than the men behind it. They have been en-
deavorng through false representation to gain con-
troll of the party machinery that they might use
it for trading stock with which to appease their
own cup1dity and their ambitions
Had it been possible to secure Mormon votes for
the Strengthening of the democratic party upon the
implied promise that Mormon voters were to have
been granted immunity from the law and protection
IN their violation of the constitution so disgraceful
a bargain would not have been accepted by the con-
scientious members of the party. Their ideal in
politics and government is above traffic in sin and
degradation the emmisaries of the hierarchy have
endeavored to place upon them will be resisted
whatever may be the promise of reward
With the entire Mormon church in Idaho express
ing, through its newspapers, full fea1ty to the
cause of republicansm those strangely constituted
nortalS who have been promoting the cause of
oolygamy in their efforts to disgrace party have
been clothed in the garments of falsehood Do thew
expect to win any permanent victory through such
1ngodly methods?

FAIR NOTICE..

April first is near at hand, and this
weeks paper will be the last before
the new ruling of the postoffice de-
partment as to paid-up subscriptions
goes into effect. We are going to
obey the law strictly. In the first
place, we do not care to offend "Uncle
Sam," and then it is good business
as well. There is no use to send a
paper on credit when the amount IN
volved is only one dollar. Every one
can just as we'll pay this in advance
as later, and with hundreds of names
scattered all over the country, it is
too much trouble to attempt to COL
lect such small accounts. But we
have been lenient to some'of our old
subscribers heretofore. They have
always paid US and will always do so.
But with "Uncle Sam" right behind
us, we cannot indulge them. So if
your paper stops when the time ex-
pires, don't blame us. We have no
alternative, and trust no one will
think hard of us.
