HAPPY MILBRIDGE.

The happiest town in Maine is Mil
bridge. 1t never grumbles to the world,
but each week sends out such CHEEKY
little messages as the following, through
the columns of the Machias Union:
When the harvest days are over, Mil
bridge, the pretty town on Narraguagus
bay, will be found to lave raised the
most bountiful crop in its history, and
although our summer business is over for
this year, it looks like prosperous win
ter. The famous Mother Goose brand of
sardines, so well and favorably known
throughout the civilized world, is pack
ed in Milbridge. The Island brand of
clans, which is so we'll known to all
lovers of this class of goods, has been
put up here for many years. 1t is prob
able that four saw mills will be in opera
ton here this winter. The three-masted
schooner now building in Sawyer Bros.
shipyard will be launched in few weeks
and it is probable that work on four
masted schooner will commence in the
spring. The freight rates on lumber
were never SO high as at the present
time and our coasting feet have been
doing a fine business this summer. Fish
have been plenty in our bay the past
summer and many large ones have been
caught, the largest halibut coming to
our notice weighing 800 pounds, and the
largest cod 70 pounds. Many improve
ments are being made on the beautiful
buildings which adorn our streets, and it
never looked better for our prosperous
village than at present.

STRICTER ELECTION LAW
Is DESIRED IN ENGL AND
Bill introduced in Commons to Curb
Gifts to Various Public
Enterprises.

LONDON. August "A bill has been
introduced in the house of commons to
prevent tho indirect influencing of par
liamentary constituencies by candidates
and members of parliament by means of
subscriptions to certain religious, chart
table, public or semi-public institutions
or enterprises.
The bill would include all such pay
ments in the candidates election ex-
penses, a return of which he has to make
under the present law. Payment of sub
scriptions to clubs or societies of which
candidate is bona fide ordinary men,
Der would be expected, provided they did
not exceed $3.50 a year. while contribL-
lions to any fund or organization which
is exclusively poll ,ical also are expressly
omitted from the scope of the measure.
The law against corrupt practices at
elections in the British Isles already Is
very strict, and any expenditure beyond
that specially permitted invalidates an
election. There is a feeling, however,
particularly among candidates. that the
cost of obtaining election and holding a
seat is excessive, and it is with view
of cutting this down that the present
measure has been proposed.
