A Correction from MIR. Brown.

Editor Democrat.
1 see by the Democrat, in the report Of
our town meeting Monday, You charge
me with saying, South Paris was hog.
This is an error and | ask you to frankly
correct it. What | did say was that
ECitizen" in the Democrat claimed that
towns were now the units of power, and
South Paris was the hub. / know | am
afs to be sharp pointed, but l concede to
all the right TO act as they feel is Just
and proper, aud hurl no slanderous in
vectives against the respectable and
honorable citizens of South Paris, yet
do but feel it an oppressive outrage,
under the circumstances, TO press such
enormous expense of public funds
upon the rural parts of this town. 1t is
but the ally in spirit of the extravaganza
and fauciful expenditure of moneys to
satisfy largely the greed for wealth and
power so oppressive to the more humble
in the walks of life, largely in want or
distress, and too much like the trusts,
only in less degree, and is infuriating
men in order TO so live as high and grand
as the richest, falsely causing the lam
entable forfeiture of noble trust, max
ing Socialists and Anarchists, and the
even distribution of wealth, which can
but in the end drench this fair land in
rivers of blood. Indeed, tremble for
my country when l consider that God is
just, and that his justice cannot sleep
forever.
This is only the beginning with South
Paris village. Twenty thousand dollars
will not reach their craving and expen-
sive appetite, and it should be moderat-
ed. Pause, friends of South Paris, and
consider. II. g. BROWN.
(The Democrats apologies to Mr..
Brown for misreporting him entirely
without intention-a misunderstanding
due to the distance of tn reporter from
Mr.. Brown, more or less laughter and
confusion in the hall, and the somewhat
difficult conditions under which report
must be prepared for immediate publica-
tion.)

New York Democratic Committee
Elects New Head.

New York, June 2.-rO the accom-
paniment Of bows, smiles and mutual
felicitations. William J. Conners re-
tired from Office as chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee to-day,
and John A. Dix, of Greenwich, was
elected in his stead.
Everybody laughed when Corners
stood up to turn over his office to
the newly elected chairman. "Its a
good job you've got" he said with a
grin. 81 hope you'll like It,"
Scathing Resolutions.
The committee, in resolutions
unanimously adopted, arraigned the
Republican party for the enactment
OF the "outrageously unfair tariff
act" criticised Governor Hughes for
his opposition to the income tax
amendment to tho constitution and
alluded to the defeat Of the income
proposition as a Striking example
OF the hypocrisy Of the Republican
party"
The retirement Of Mr.. Corners
follows meeting Of the committee
held in Albany last February to con-
slider the question Of his election.
Conners denied that 1t was possible
Friends Of Murphy said he had the
votes to do It. Whether he had or
not, he did not use them. Conners
made public retraction of his crit
cfsm Of Murphy, which arose, ne
said, from infrmities Of temper, and
agreed to retire this spring.

POLICY ALARMS RAILROADS.
enlightenment Funds to BE Used to
Stave or Financial Ruin"

Chicago, June 3.--At least $780,
1900, which American railroads
mad tentatively arranged to spend in
replacement as result OF the in
creased revenue from the advance in
freight rates they had expected, must
now be used to stave off ruin, ac-
cording to statement made by Sluy-
ton Thompson, OF the Railway News
Bureau, here to-day.
Unprecedented retrenchment, in
Guiding the laying off Of men and the
abandonment of all construction and
replacement, Is now in order.
Roads Pinched Through Panic.
Two years ago the railroads had
reached point where it seemed that
replacement and rehabilitation work
must proceed, or something would
break. The public was not ready for
an advance in rates, however, and by
retrenchment from present rigorous
order the roads have managed to
worry along, standing almost still
while the carrying demand Of the
country continued to Increase" said
Mr.. Thompson.
Every abroad Of which have
cognizGnce Is now trying to find a
way to exist In the face of the pres
ent opposition. Further attempts at
retrenchment, at economy, however,
seem like refining pure gold"
Committee to Wait on Taft.
AS limited yesterday, it Is probable
that committee of railroad presi-
dents will call upon President Taft
to obtain an elucidation Of his posi-
ton In regard to the railroads as
soon rs an audience can be arranged.
