QUESTION OF JUSTICE
Continued from Page One)

peal of canal tolls is being followed by
accessions from New England. Re-
publicans in the House from New Eng
land II will be remembered, very
generally voted against the Presidents
bill. There were only two exceptions
in Representatives Gardner and Gill
lett of Massachusetts. 1t was an
nounced with some flourish that Sena-
tor Weeks of Massachusetts,, who is an
intimate friend of Senator Burieigh
and very staunch Republican, would
also vote for repeal. But Senator
Weeks has told the prophets they
might as we'll go a little slow on that
for he has not made up his mind to
vote for repeal. Indeed, it would be
better not to put him down in the col
umn of repeal Senators at all.
And as matters stand now, 1t seems
that most of the New England Re-
publicans in the Senate will fall III
with the stand first taken by Senator
Burleigh and, shortly afterward, by
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire,
that the exemption clause for coastWlse
vessels should not be repealed. There
is every prospect that the two Vermont
Republicans in the Senate will vote
against the President. The two Re-
publican senators from Rhode Island
are celebrating closely over the ques-
ton and the two from Connecticut
| would apparently be a little more COM
Portable if they could stand against re-
! peal. Senator Brandegee got COM
| mitted on the question two years ago,
| when he was chairman of the Inter-
oceanic Canal committee and fought
! the exemption clause.
| The canal tolls fight has upset all
! previous plans in the Senate and
promises to be the chief matter of in
terest there for a month or six weeks
yet No one expects final vote much
| before the second week in June. Opin-
lion prevails that 1t would have been
much better for the President If he
| had handled the question differently
and If he had favored some less rigor-
| Gus action than repeal. The pro-
vision might have been suspended or
| Congress might have authorized the
| President to exercise his discretion
about suspending tolls, But it was
otherwise and the Democrats have
gotten in very bad. A wide breach
| has been opened in their own ranks
and the country is rapidly expressing
| it's disapproval of the Democratic adj
ministration generally

life Tuesday morning at $50 when

old-timers and hopeful recruits linn

Auburn. Autumn twang was in the
air and leftover March wind rust
led around the sodden diamond but
the sweet music or crashing bat upon
ball and the welcome shout of the
player as he went after a fly rang to
the old Androscoggin a few rods
away.
Captain Mcmahon had % men at his
disposal, four of whom were local lads.
Practice lasted from $50 until a few
minutes before noon. The squad was

A SPARK ARRESTER
Being Tested Out by Maine Central
Great Results Expected.

Tests were begun Tuesday by the
Maine Central on the Mountain DiVi-
sion of new smoke consuming and
spark arresting device for locomotives.
This test has been planned on an elab-
crate scale and it will be conducted
by the railroad officials with the in
tention of demonstrating thoroughly
either it's success or failure. The land
belonging to the city attached to the
City Home and lying on both sides
OF the railroad track has been Dor
rowed for this occasion and it has
been covered with cheesecloth. in or
der that il the sparks and cinders are
thrown out of this kind of spark ar
roster as freely and as readily as they
have been from other kinds there will
be no trouble in knowing all about it.
If hot sparks fly they will set the
cheesecloth afire. If the cinders only
fly these will be caught on the cloth
and by walking about over it after
ward the railroad officials can find
them and thus make certain that the
thing is not the success that it's in
ventor claims it will be.
Those who are interested in the de-
vice claim that it will work to perfec-
ton or if not that precisely, will so
minimize the amount of stuff that is
thrown from the smoke stacks of NOV
ing engines as to virtually minimize
the danger.
A freight train will be used for the
demonstration with q locomotive pick
ed out at random and fitted with this
device but without any other special
preparation. The train will be run
up and down over this stretch of track
times enough to satisfy everybody and
then the inspection of the cheesecloth
will begin.

GENERAL BOOSTER CHORUS
HARDEST To Get STARTED
Officers Of Develop Maine Movement
Say People Will Boost as Soon as
They Get the Habit---One OF the
Many Chances Missed

! the Western states turn green with
envy.
| An Augusta business man who re-
| Gently made business trip which in
cluded Chicago, Kansas City and other
Middle Western cities was asked, up
on his return home, to tell how he
found business conditions in that part
of the country. He said that he
couldn't tell much about it, for every
where he went the native sons insist
ed that business was booming and
that their particular city was the only
place on the map that was worth
staying in for a minute. In other
words he ran into the famous West
ern booster spirit which refuses to see
anything but a bright future, increas-
ing population and business opportu-
mites. He found it everywhere.
The Develop Maine movement made
a convert right there. This business
man now knows what it means to a
community to have the booster spirit.
He is for it, heart, soul and pocket
book He is doing business in Maine
and he wants to do more. He sees
nothing that promises to increase his
business so quickly. with such little
expenditure of time and money, as the
general adoption of the booster spirit
right here at home.
1t won't be necessary for many
Maine business men to take such a
long trip in order to find out the
worth Of the DeDvelop Maine move
ment. They will feel the push Of it in
their own factories and offices. Made
in Maine" ought to be guarantee CT
better than average quality for the
class of goods offered for sale and it
is. Maine manufactured products are
shipped all over the world, under firm
brands and without any mark on them
to identify them with Maine. This
ought to be changed, say the boost
ers, and the Develop Maine movement
is going to endeavor to change it.
Maine" tags ought to be as familiar
as that MADE in Germany" The lat
ter phrase was forced on the Germans
because their product was inferior, but
it has turned out to be the best of
advertising. Maine is in position to
use Made in Maine as a guarantee
of superior quality.

HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR.
Vermont Anti-Saloon League Hears the
Annual Reports.

Burlington, March 1.-THE annual
meeting of the Vermont Anti-Saloon
league was held here to-day with a large
attendance of officers and board of trus-
tees, of whom there are 70 members.
Officers were elected late this afternoon
and reports submitted by Superintend-
ent Clifford Fl. Smith and by the treas
urer.
The total gross receipts OF the league
during the year were $4,4Sl, which is
$3.50 more than for the preceding year.
About one-half of the increase is due
to contributions from churches sending
direct to the treasury without waiting
for an appeal from the superintendent.
The expenditures for the year amounted
to 1892, sum S754 more than the
year before. The increase is accounted
for by the employment of field secre-
tary, Nv. Laing. The net deficit was
S434. This in spite of strenuous eff
forts on the part OF Mr.. Smith to in
crease it tangibly. The superintendent
comments upon the work done by the
league in the recent campaign against
license and says that the result vas
very gratifying.

says, it appears that out of 246 towns
and cities 20 voted for license and but
Is will probably have saloons, the same
number as a year ago. This is the
smallest number voting no-license since
the law went into effect. Mr.. Smith
closes his report with these words One
of the greatest needs of the state of
Vermont at the present time is the elee-
ton of state, county and town officials
who are in hearty sympathy with the
law and who will do their best for its
enforcement.
These officers were elected:
