A Good Time Coming.

The golden tide has turned. Treas
ury officials expect $4O,OOO,OOO in gold
will be brought from Europe to this
country before Christmas. 1t is the
release of the bullion contracted for in
exchange for blocks of railroad securi-
ties totaling upward of $2O0,0O0,00o, and
in settlement of the balance of trade
of more than $16s, 600, 900 in the past
fifteen months.
This long delayed movement of the
yellow metal is in time to relieve APP
prehensions of shortage of crop
moving facilities. Another apprehen-
sion to be removed is the Wall street
prediction, earlier in the season, that
money would advance to famine rates.
Again there are those at Washington
who think the postal savings banks
will draw nearly ten times the forty
millions from hiding places in the
country. If the postal banks are to
open the chimney inches and old stock
ings this autumn, times ought to be
worth living in the good old winter
time. Don't forget to be here and
listen for us to say II told you 50"

Pres. MeIien Loses Trick.

| In an order issued by the Massachu-
| Tuesday certificate of exigency is
given to the Southern New England
Railroad Corporation which authorizes
that company to build a new railroad
| from Palmer to the boundary line be-
| tween Massachusetts and Rhode
| Island
This is victory for the Grand Trunk
| Pacific Railway in it's struggle with
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad both of which had petit
toned the board for certificate. The
Southern New England is a Massach
usetts corporation, created by the
| Grand Trunk for the purpose of build
ing connecting line across the state.
Four reasons are given by the rail
road commission for it's decision to
issue the certificate to the Grand
Trunk and reject the petition of the
New Haven. The first is the superb
ority Of the Grand Trunk connections
with the North and the West. Due
weight is given to the attitude of the
state of Rhode Island. to the wishes
of the people Immediately to be served
and the priority of petition. In this
decision the board is unanimous
1t is the first real reverse which
President Mellen and the financial in
terests back of the N. Y, n H. & H.
have met in long time. In their cam
paign TO gain complete control of the
transportation facilities of New Eng
land. The Grand Trunk now becomes
bound to show the people of Massach
usetts and Rhode Island what ii can
do as it has done and proposes to do
in Maine. This move into Providence
NAV be regarded. according to the G..
It's own professions, as preliminary
to an entrance to Boston. The Grand
Trunk is one of the great world routes
of travel and southern New England
NAV regard it as distinct advantage
to be thus bound up with a great sys-
tenn. And it now remains for tbs
Grand Trunk to justify the confidence
which the Bay state has reposed in it.
The rest of New England is looking
on and will remember in the future.

Another Dennoer attic Falsshood.

The entire campaign of Names
Democracy seems to be made up to
date on a f1imsy foundation of easily
disproved falsehood.
First the Democracy widely spread
over the State their silly charges of
extravaganza against the Republican
administration, which were dispelled
like river fog beneath the scorching
rays of a July sun, by Governor Fer
maids State convention speech.
Of late the Democrats have been in
sisting that the Republican admins
tration was having trouble over the
enlargement of Names Capitol build
ing, an enlargement and alteration
absolutely necessary because of the
growth of the State. In this reckless,
desperate attack, the Democracy has
claimed that the bills for these alter
atoms and improvements were not
being paid, that the contract would
not be completed on time and that the
next legislature would be called upon
for another appropriation which Maine
tax payers would have to pay.
These falsehoods have been mis-
chievously and wickedly as well as
widely disseminated with the nope of
making Democratic votes, especially
in the remoter sections of the State.
The Kennebec Journal yesterday
was informed by Hon. Charles s.
Hichhorn, Chairman of the State
House Commission, that these Demo-
cratic charges could be with the ut
most emphasis denied. THE state
ments Of any trouble whatever over
the State House works are so utterly
absurd and baseless," said Mr. HIGH
born las not to merit discussion. but
| will tell the Journal" continued the
chairman.
u. All bills for new State House
construction. alterations and improve
ments have been paid to date and all
OtnerS On inns work VIII be promptly
met when due.
''2. The new Capitol building will be
entirely completed on schedule time
as per contract.
"3. No further appropriation from
the next or any Legislature will be
asked for because none will be
needed. All the work will be paid for
out of the present appropriation.
Moreover" concluded the State
House Commissions Chairman, 1.-THE
workmanship of Names new Capitol
building is of the very best kind, the
improved structure will be a source OF
pride to all citizens and suitable for
the needs and work of legislatures
and the public officials for years tC
come; will compare to advantage with
the capitolS of other states and the
work will be completed on time with
no shadow of graft and at a cost
which is UNNECESSARILY less than SINH
lar public work in other states"
Thus another fabrication of Demo
cracy, like & house of cards, falls to-
tai wreck to the ground.

Conscience in Russia.
(Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph


While the Russian government
shows no sign of abating the rigor
of the regulations imposing disabili-
ties on the Jews, there is evidence OF
q growing sentiment among the peo-
pie against this form of oppression
This found notable expression in the
Douma recently when a bill giving
the Jews the right of unrestricted
residence was introduced, bearing the
signatures of 165 out of the 440 men,
bers of the parliamentary body. The
bill declares that the maintenance of
the Jewish pale. limiting the residence
of the Jews to the confines of the
Polish provinces and the Ukraine not
only inflicts wrongs upon that peo-
pie, but hampers the economic devel-
opment of the country. demoraliZes
the police, who are frequently bribed,
and degrades the Russian people by
teaching them to Cypress another
race. The truth and justice of this
arraignment Of the authorities are so
plain as to appeal most powerfully
to the public conscience, wherever
conscience is not fettered by dogmatic
prejudice Hence, although the bill is
certain to be rejected, its introduction,
fortified with such strong support,
can hardly fail to exercise good in
fuence.
