Council Committee Reports That
Representative Van Houtte Has
Not Redeemed Pledge Regarding
Improvement of Service-Council
Adopts Report.

Representative Van Houtte of the
Pacific Telephone company is charg-
ed by the special council committee
with having failed to redeem either
his pledge to produce figures show
ing that the increased rate for party
line service was justifiable or the
pledge made to improve the service.
The special committee made its re-
port to the council last evening and
despite its strong language was unan-
imously adopted
In addition to declaring that the
representative of the telephone COM
pany had failed to convince either the
committee from the council or the one
from the commercial association. the
report recommended that the council
invite proposals from from outside
companies that desired to enter the
field and also recommended that the
legislature be called upon to extend
the scope of the railroad commission
so as to include the regulation of tele-
phone companies as we'll as railroads.
The Washington railroad commission
has that power and is now engaged
IL, an effort to compel the telephone
companies doing business in that state
to reduce their rates.

Delightful Musicale.

One OF the most delightful musicales
ever given in Ellsworth was that at the

OF every number on the program. Every-
body knew what to expect from Mr..
Swan and Miss Giles, both Ellis wort h.
born; also from Mr.. Paine, but the ex-
pectant audience was to hear little Mis-
Bragdon for the first time; and il not only
was not disappointed, but Il was Wrnpued
in admiration for the remarkable r,er-

The Nation needs our help at Washing
ton. This State is not to be misrepre-
scented in Congress, no governor is to be
elected with power to appoint democratic
senator's, because OF q cry that the ex-
penses OF the State have increased.
Increased OF course they have in
creased. The people demand the increase.
The democratic party IN the legislature
voted for the increased. They voted, -
We did, for better schools, better roads,
better care of the insane, for protection Of
the feeble- minded, liberaiity to hospitals,
more for our farming interests, for better
public buildings, for . statehouse where
this rich and growing State could do its
public work. What vote was recorded
against the final appropriation bills that
met the popular willf Not one republican
or democrat.
The tax-rate il the test q: public
burdens. In 1882, the last year Of demo-
cratic rule, it was four and ONE half
mills, one mill for schools, three mills and
one-ha for purposes Of the State.
This year it is five mills, but under your
new system Of the taking over by the
State of more municipal burdens, policy
demanded by both political parties, the
tax for State purposes 10 but two mills.
We have cut the State tax almost square
in the middle.
In 1852 the State debt, less the sinking
fund, was over }4.500, 900 1t 10 now Less
than 200, 1000. In 1882 we raised 1856 900
for interest. We now raise $4,000. IL all

Special attention is called to an ar
ticle to be found in another column,
on the Payne tariff law, reprinted from
the New York Tribune. Hypercriti-
cal democrats and weakened re-
publicans will find cold comfort In the
results Of the workings OF the law
for the first fiscal year OF its opera
ton. The tariff law, which is intended
for protection and for revenue, and
which both protects and produces
revenue, cannot fairly be said to be 90
very much of failure.

Voters who vote the republican
ticket because they believe in the
principles of the republican party;
who desire to see republican and
not a democrat succeed Senator Hale
in the United States senate; who de-
sire an unbroken republican delegation
in the House; who desire to see the
justices Of the supreme court whose
terms shortly expire reappointed; who
believe in the progressive policies OF
the republican party in Maine con-
tinued are not likely this year-of all
years-to yield to the Establishments
of a Pattangall, the platitudes OF q
Plaisted, the oratory Of a McGilli-
cuddy or the billingsgate OF Bunker.

NsMaine is all Right.''

The republican slogan .Maine is all
right" does not seem to strike the
democrats with great favor, that is, If
the speeches OF their stump orators
are to be taken seriously.
Last evening at Ellsworth Mr..
Pattangall spent whole hour in at
tempting to prove from printed re-
ports and from figures obtained from
the state treasurer that this good
State of ours is on the ragged edge of
bankruptcy; that it has no money in
the treasury; that it has borrowed up
to the constitutional limit; that State
institutions are without funds except
such as they can borrow; that in
general Maine is going at a rapid
rate straight to the demnition bow
vows.
Yet "Maine lie all right!
Now all this is important, II true.
The figures he quoted were doubtless
correct; he got them from republican
sources, and republican figures are
usually correct. No statement is so
dangerous as half truth, and while
he said truly that the States revenues
have been temporarily short, he ap-
parently forgot to mention that there
are plenty more available easily 80
take care of all liabilities, and to allow
this State to 60 on its way rejoicing,
and that, too, without democratic
assistance.

The charges Of republican extrava-
gance recklessly made by democratic
politicians, vanishes into thin air
when the records are brought to the
light. Democracy must attempt an
explanation OF it's last effort at State
administration before 1t challenges
republican rule.

There are plenty of mackerel Oh the

gagged in the business since 1895, and
learned much from his father who was en-
gagged in the industry before him. Said

that vessel would be fitted out and GO
cruising for mackerel for three weeks
without finding any. Then they would
come across . school and make big haul.
Now vessel will 60 out for week and II
no mackerel are seen in that time, give ur
