MARKED CHANGE OF POLITICAL
SENTIMENT.

The municipal election at Chicago,
which resulted in the choice of Repub-
lican Mayor by plurality of 1892 and
by majority much larger than was ever
given to successful Democratic candi-
date for the same office in that city, can
only be called another indication OF a
change of political sentiment, due, to in
dustrial and commercial conditions.
Just prior to this overturn st. Louis
experienced similar one.
The reversal Of opinion began to show
in strength last November, when the
voters reduced the Democratic represent
tation in the National House from 290
to 233 and and increased the Republican
membership from 145 to 1913.
simultaneously, Mr.. Charles S. Whit
man was elected Governor of New York,
carrying 55:of the 62 counties in the State,
and wiping out the plurality of more
than 2OO,0 which Democrat had Sc
cured two years before. !,
Other examples could be cited, but
these are quite sufficient.
Dissatisfaction, resulting primarily
from the passage of a revolutionary tariff
law, is not confined to Big Business, SC
called but is shared, according to the evil
dence, by thousands of men who carry
dinner pals, whose employment depends
on business. - Boston Globe.

eff the average telephone man of to-
day was permitted to go back and visit
the early telephone exchange, his trip
would be more interesting than that of
Mark Twain's famous Connecticut Yam
kee.
"ln 1888 l entered the employ of the
telephone company as night operator at
Rockland, Me. This office was then
located In the Berry block as near the
roof of the building as it could be. Open
wires from surrounding buildings entered
the cupola which was directly over the
office. At that time we had no TIL con-
nection with other places and our local
lines were, in nearly all cases, attached
to buildings. There were about forty
subscribers connected to a switch in
which were placed horizontal and up
RICH: brass bars. have been informed
that these boards are still in use by sew
eral European governments, but hesitate
to believe it.
Sin 1888 the Office quarters were NOV.
ed to the second story floor in the Pills
bury block. The wires then entered the
Office through the first cable and Will
liams board was installed. This was
later replaced by a two-position New
England standard and later by one Sec
ton CT magnetic board. Additional Sec
tions were installed, until in 1902 we
were occupying twelve positions and at
this time a branch terminal board, which
had been removed from the Haymarket
exchange, was shipped to Rockland and
placed in use. This branch terminal
board was used until 1918, when No. 10
relay was installed, and now, with the
best that can be had. we are wondering
if those American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company engineers can go any
further.
''In reviewing the past the part that
stands out most prominently was my
first work in a crew. Asa Jacobs had
come to Rockland to build a line to
White Head life saving station and was
permitted to go out with him. / started
as teamster, but could not hold down the
job as was unfortunate enough to run
into a telephone pole and dump the whole
crew. Asa has always claimed that |
had the reins crossed and l have never
felt like arguing with him about it.
| This work was very interesting to me,
as we built line through section of
woods where we had to trim out, also
laid submarine cable and erected some
tall poles where our wires crossed the
channel, and since that time l have al
ways had great respect for a good line
man.

AroOstook Potatoes.

Potatoes were selling at 81 barrel in
Caribou, April 9th, whereas week be-
fore the price was only so cents a barrel.
A dollar is the highest price that has
been received for potatoes since the sea-
son opened last fall. The cause of the
advance is the fact that the southern
potatoes have had a set back owing to
frost, and the ill wind for the southern
ers has blown good to Aroostook.
