The German.American Crisis

1t would be idle to say that the
relations between the United States
and Germany are not strained. says
the St Louis Times. They are at
the breaking point.
The public must know. however,
that street corner gossip and idle
frothings at the mouth will serve no
purpose in the disposition Of the all
important matter. The American
public has right to comment. and
that there will be few to deny; but
any attempt to stir the nation to a

not seem to be any danger of a break

Much has been said of late con-
corning the drafts made by the
United States for meats upon other
countries-Argentina and Australia,
for example. Statistics show that
imports of meats and dairy products
into the country in the ten months
preceding May were three times
the value of those for a like period
two years ago, and seven times
those of the entire fiscal year of
1905. This shows the drift in inn
pressive figures. But, on the other
hand, it remains a fact that the
United States exports far more meat
than it imports. The value OF meat
and dairy exports from the United
States this year, it is expected, will
attain the $200,000,000 level of the
decade prior to 1909. How much
of the meat imported enters into
the export movement does not ap-
l,ar. but it must be considerable

ALL along the way We have been
constantly reminded of the little
story we learned in one of our school
books, when quite young, of that
scamp who, with silvery words and
sueared tongue, persuaded the boy
to turn the heavy grindstone for
him and after he had worked the
little fellow as hong as he wanted
him, Scolded him for wasting his
time from school. Well, in all these
years if that fellows tribe has de
creased vcu must be better math-

100000 FIRE IN THOMASTON.

THOMASTON, Me-, June 6. Four build
ings on Main street, including the Knox
house, the only hotel here, the Watts
house owned by the town, livery stable
and mercantile block containing four
stores, were burned early today. The loss
is approximately $500, 900, more than half
of which is covered by insurance. w. L..
Catland, owner of the stable where the
flames started, believes that the fire was
incendiary and the authorities are inves-
rigating report that several men were
seen running away from the premises
after an explosion.
From the stable the fire spread to the
hotel, driving the guests from their beds
and threatening to sweep along the entire
length of Main street. Aid was summon
ed from Rockland, three miles distant. and
the damage was eventually confined to
the district between Green and Knox
streets.
The Watts block, "a brick structure, was
valued at $4,000. 1t was presented to
the town IN 1890 by Captain Samuel
Watts, ship owner, who later resided in
ering a century and a half, kept in the
town offices in this building, were saved.
The other building which was burned
was of frame construction and was occu-
pied by the stores of Levi Seavey, cloth
ing dealer, M. E. Weber, hardware, E.
R. Dumys, jeweer, and the G. l. Robin
son Drug Co. The residence of DR..
George l.. Crockett, who has figured
prominently in state politics, was dam

was necessary to restore Its patronage
and prosperity. The Boston Advertiser
was at one time taken by most of our
local business men and that was no doubt
the case generally throughout the State.
When it deserted Blaine as presidential
candidate its Maine subscribers began
dropping off, and today it is generally
supposed to be kept alive by it's evening
edition, The Record. The Boston Jour-
nal was at one time the favorite family
newspaper in this State. 1t made
specially of Maine news and its shipping
news made it welcome visitor in the
homes of our seafarers. These were
the DAYS when "Perley''- Perley
Poore-wrote from Washington, d. c.;
Burleigh from New York and C. L. Nc
Cleery at Portland had general charge of
the Maine news field. For years Belfast
had Boston Journal club and more
copies of that paper were received here
than of all the other Boston dailies-
less numerous then than now-combined.
Its many political changes, the dropping
of its Maine features and the shipping
list have caused its circulation to fall off
in this State. Those familiar with the
situation say that there are today too
many daily papers in Boston and that at
least three of them are making no re-
turns on the capital invested.

On another page we print an editorial
from the Rockland Courier Gazette on
Boston Newspaper Slurs," and from
many years experience on the steamers
that ply in Name waters we can heartily
endorse all that our contemporary has
said in their defence. The two steam.
ers Castine and Golden Rod of the
Coombs Brothers, the former en-
ployed on Penobscot river route and
the latter running between Belfast and
Castine, are always kept in high state
Of efficiency; and the new steamer Isles
boro on the Bucksport and Camden route,
designed and built in Rockland, would be
safer in rough weather and rough water
than many larger craft. 1t is only fair
to say that we have never known the
Globe to be guilty Of like offence be-
fore, and that it has since made an ample
apology in it's editorial columns. But it
is no new thing for Boston newspapers
to slur Maine and Maine people. The
Herald, years ago, was much given to
that sort of thing, and especially rabid
in relation to James G. Blaine. If the
cholera had broken out in India or the
Nile inundated Egypt it would have laid
it to Blaine. The decline in the Herald's
influence and business, beginning at this
time, continued until new management

WHAT CkTARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is q
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
fromalcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
