Democratic Symptoms.

When Maine Democrats are CONN.,
dent they adopt gum shoe methods
1t is "sh- h-h!" and "hist.-the tariff
for revenue only hen is on" and
careful now: we're almost there.
But when they are getting anxious
they come out boldly and denunciator-
lily. claiming everything in sight and
defying the lightning.
Democratic methods and manner
isms are known to the voters. who
readily diagnose the symptoms OF
these glorious rallies" and these up
roarOusly Optimistic" windjammers
When a Democratic speaker gets down
to the "damnable lie" stage it is at
once recognized as a hopeless case
the Democratic pulse is beating fast
| and feebly. the tongue is furred and
brown with the profanity that has
poured over it from the depths of
fevered and rapidly burning out hope
When they are not kissing or shout
ing the "damnable lie" against Re-
publican figures that refute Demo-
cratic charges they are demanding to
see the dollars that towns have re-
ceived back from the State. They are
even denouncing the prevailing school
systems (probably blame it on the
tariff and declare that children are
not given practical education.
1t will pay any intelligent citizen to
hear one of these good government
harangues by Democratic spell
binder. o, no. they do not talk
poltics"-they simply expound the
doctrine of faint So Their logic is
as distinct as the luminosity about a
last years woodpecker's hole, and
their appeals for support as touching
as Bill Nye's Owed to Wheel
barrer.'
1t is positively bewildering-the
amount of information one is able to
miss at these good government
demonstration events.
But they announce that before the
campaign ends they will talk personal
politics."

Democratic Methods.

You will hear no more this cam
paign. probably. from Maine Demo
cratic newspapers and orators re-
garding the cash balances in the treas
ury of the State
The reason for this silence is that
day by day, now the cash balances OF
the Treasury are steadily increasing
as the sums due the State are being
paid in.
The Journal mentions this to call
attention to the smallness of the
Democratic organs which to gain
votes, gloated over the balance of
around $340 that CHANGED to be in
Names treasury a short time ago
publishing it broadcast to discredit the
financial stability and credit of their
own state,
Men, even Democratic politicians
who will adopt such methods of OBJ
tanning votes are disloyal to their
commonwealth. But you will hear no
more from them now that Names
financially prosperous days are come
Democracy does not desire, appar-
entity, Names prosperity-and will
not advertise 1t!

Increased Liquor Consumption.

An exchange wonders at the cause
of the increased consumption of
liquors per capita in the United States
Perhaps it has not thought of the
sleepless and persistent labors of the
combined forces of the diStillerS and
brewers to increase their sales and to
promote condition that will create
new custom. They enter politics
with wads of money TO place in power
the party or candidates who favor
their product. They approach law
church, and they eternally advertise
Skilled and cunning writer's are en-
ployed and bureaus are established to
Hood the mails with the insidious en-
| tering wedge-the literature that
| plants the seed; the doctrine of the
cup that cheers; the DEVILS handi-
work
Advertising pays and never ending
| crusade by the liquor trust is bringing
results. in spite of the spread of pro-
hibtion and the noble battle that is
| waged by the church, the W. c. T.
L.. and other organizations and So
cieties
The Portland Press says: Accord
ing tn the figures of the internal
| revenue bureau the American peo-
pie made new high record for
drinking and smoking in the last fiscal
year. The figures show consumption
of l23.000,000 gallons of whiskey. So
100000 barrels of beer and ale. eight
billion of cigars and seven billions of
cigarettes. Revenue receipts from the
| taxation of this amounted to nearly
| 1926, 100000. to which playing cards
contributed over 100000 and oleo-
margarine s1.0O0.0OO These are the
figures in the large. Reducing them
to the per capita basis in order to
compare and assuming the present
population to be 9O,0O0.OOO, consump-
ton of 1876 gallons of whiskey for
each man. woman and child in the
country is indicated. 2O32 gallons of
malt liquors. So cigars and II cigar
cites. and a fraction. OF course a
very large part of the population does
not use either liquor or tobacco This
makes all the more for those who do
use it, and makes it appear that the
indulgence in drinking and smoking
must be on the increase. This i'm
preston is borne out by the official
figures. According to the United
States Statistical abstract, the per
capita consumption of distilled liquors
in 1897 was 1.O2 gallons, and of malt
liquors 14.94 gallons and that with the
inclusion of wines the total liquor con-
sumption was 16.5 gallons per capita
The per capita for the last fiscal year.

liquors. appears to have been between

Erankinu's Final Rush.

Tuesday<was the last day for using
the telegraph or telephone franks. In
Washington the blow has fallen more
heavily than elsewhere, tor there the
great corps OF newspaper men and
many Government officials have been
using franks of both telegraph COM
panies and over the long distance tele
phone. With a fine disregard for
slower transmission by the mails of
the thoughts which entered their
heads, officials, business men and cor
respondents on the last day trooped
with one accord to the telegraph wires
and hurled upon the unoffending COM
panies dispatches which We're drawn
out as long as love letters. The COM
panies did a rushing business.
Tie act of the government in max
ing these franks as valueless as q
response to public opinion. These
franks were issued On the proviso that
they be used for only family and per-
sonal messages. Consequently, those
who We're wiring Tuesday had thought
up the names of far and distant friends
SO that they might get their moneys
worth" by using up the stamp book"
With the long distance telephone it
was the same story, and many men
with franks to-day hurled their forms
into stuffy booths to talk across hun
dreds of miles to men and women who
did not care at all about talking to
them.
But on Wednesday the rush had
ceased. Already the telegraph and
telephone companies feel the relief
One concession was made in the wind
| ing up of the franking business. A
50-word letter at night for the price
| of a ten word message in the day
time is the privilege widely appreci-
ated Many thousands of these franks
| abolition will add materially to the
revenues of the companies. But the
more corporate interests can be re-
| lieved of doing something for nothing
| the better it will be for that portion
of the public that has no special in
| terests to serve.
