to the public attention reprehensible
prd.etises which this exposure will
make more difficult, if not impossi-
BILE. in the future. But with this good,
there has also come much that was
unmiNed and bad. Mulhall has sought
to convey the impression that every

rela tons whatsoever has subordinated
the public interest to promote inter-
est, and has more or less sery-
ed the industrial and financial
powers who We're responsible for
Mulhalfs political activity This. to
the initiated, has not done much harm.
Men who know Underwood. Lodge,

whom Mulhall has attacked by innu-
endo, realize precisely how much val
lie to put upon such charges. But un-
fortunately the great majority of the
people do not have this advantage,
and are frequently altogether too
ready to infer skull-duggery when
none exists. Then there is always
that section of the yellow press which
grabs at any story, no matter how
or how unjust, and gives
lit unlimited display in order to in
crease sales by feeding public cred

fathomable.

Republican Nomination
JOHN A. PETERS.
OF ELLSWORTH,
Republican Candidate for Congress
from Third Maine District.
Women and Saloon.

The LIQUOR interests which worked to
defeat woman suffrage in Ohio and
Michigan, making almost every saloon
in the latter State an anti suffrage
headquarters. are not admitting defeat
in Illinois, now that it has given the
ballot to women. A league bearing the
euphemistic title of the United Soei-
cites for Local Self Government" has
begun to enroll Illinois women in the
sacred cause of personal liberty" This
association boasts that 1t has a55 indi-
vidual societies of men, and woman's
adjunct to each one of these is immedi-
ately 10 be called into being. Afraid OF
woman suffrage asks the organizer
in-ehief Il should say not. I'm glad
We have it, Instead of 1900 votes. We
shall have 100000 at the next election.
These are brave words, and they will
doubtless be quoted by anti-suffragists
as proof of the influence Of the bad
women's VOTE etc. But neither they
nor the national organizer of the Unit
ed Societies should be too hasty. There
have already been two town elections
at Benton and Garpenfersville. AT the
most orderly election which Benton
ever witnessed the vets lost the fight
by a56 votes. Mere women voted than
men, and of the former only fourteen
favored the wet ticket At Carpen-
ersville TWO out of every three wo-
men voted against the saloon.-New
York Post.
The liquor interests have always been
putting up big biuff'' about not fear
ing woman suffrage, but we have never
heard of a case where any
thing allied with saloon inter-
ests-white slavery, blackmail, politi-
cal graft. thuggery or gunmen-ever
promoted or favored woman suffrage.
Indeed the political heelers. lobbyists
and corruptionists, hand in hand with
the liquor interests always place every
earthly object within their power in the
way of woman suffrage
TO those inswhose minds the proceed
nre is fresh. waEouid ask who defeat
ed suffrage in the last Maine Legisla-
ture7
But that United Society for Local
Self Government" Doesn't that sound
like the summer of 1871 in Maine? And
the sacred cause of personal liberty? !?
II is the same old slogan of the tools OF
the rum trust.
However, it is some consolation to
know that newspaper in the heart of
baozedom dares peep for humanity once
in awhile We wonder what would hap
pen If Tammany and its incubator of
crime should be dissolved, and Greater
New York should come under a prohibi-
tory liquor law.

Underwood's Attack On MulhaIl.

(Kansas City Journao
We admit very frank admiration
of the way Congressman Underwood,
Democratic leader in the house, put
on his spiked boots and went after
Lobbyist Mulhall. We presume that
when one must delve into what may
be going on, down in the mud and
m;re, one must get ones hands on a
denizen of that deleetable country
and draw him to the surface and ex-
anime him. It may be a necessary,
but it cannot help being a nauseating
process. Little wonder then, when a
creature of this sort makes indiscrim-
mate charges against man with a
record such as Oscar Underwood's and
a character built up by years of un-
blemished honorable dealings, that the
victim of such practises rises up in
his wrath and uses language with
the bark on.

An interesting experiment with an
orchard is being carried on at Eaton
Mountain Farm by woman The
sister of r. T. Patten, owner of the
farm, four years ago bought six acres
OF land here that had always been
used as a pasture, had westerly
slope at the lower base of Eaton
Mountain which has an elevation of
go feet above sea level. She has
hired the work all done in the fou.'
years time, including the expense oe
buying the trees. setting out the or
ehard, etc, and so far the orchard
mas not been any expense to her, but
10 the contrary she has made seven
per cent. on her money invested in 3.
Guiding the purchase price of the
land AS the ground was naturally
rocky the first thing that she did was
10 have some blasting done. This
cost her about s15 per acre. 1t cost
1880 per acre to get the land ready
py plowing and narrowing it. She
was 10 set out the trees in the sprine.

dition for them, the fall before she
planted the ground to potatoes using

TINS land she got about 1900 bushels
Wnich sold for forty-five cents Der
bushel. The first year she planted
20 trees Of the Baldwin variety.
| These cost, deliverd at the field. %

| planning the land. digging the holes
etc, came to about II cents each
This time for a fertilizer she used II
pounds of lime to the acre, costing
SLo0 per ton and another dollar FOR
putting 1t on. This year she sowed
clover between the trees. She do
not harvest it, but plowed il into the
| ground to act as fertilizer. The
next spring she was able to haryes'
TWO crops OF clover without plantine
any more. and received from selling
these net profit OF $500 per tor

trees are doing well. She believe,
that the trees will begin to bear abonr

that the trees will yield half a barre
