The schooner “Catherine” which car-

rb ! the Methodist and Baptist Sunday school excursion Tuesday, the 18th inst., was crowded the next day by Monaghan and his friends, bound for Bluehill. The routing at Mountain park was finished

fore the excursionists returned. He was handling freight. He could "d enoug' but his knowledge of

geography was poor. He came to a box

marked “Sac•>.*’ He looked at the word a

minute, scratched his head, and delivered

himself thus: “S-a-c-o,—Saysol Where on earth is Say so'!" And he lives in Ells-

worth ! A correspondent from Lamoine writes

as follows: Every person riding over the new road built by Street Commissioner Eppes from Lamoine to Ellsworth shuuid

put up a petition that “his days may be

long in the laud,” and that he may lung continue to supervise the making of

EllswoiIll's roads.

Friends o? Miss Anna F. Bight and

Mrs. Ella F. Hale assembled last Monday evening at their hospitable home on Pine street to meet Dr. and Mrs. L. 15 Fender-

son, of Boston, and Mrs. Gifiin, of New

York, who are heir relatives and guests. Dr. Fenderson is an elocutionist of more

than local repuialiou; Mrs. Fenderson possesses h splendid contralto vc ice, ami

both artists favored the gathering with several selections, i he evening a an most

agreeably spent. The boiler of the engine at the Hall

steam mill on Water street burst Mon-

day morning, suspending operations iu

the Water street manufactories for sev-

eral days at least. The burst was in front

of the boiler over the furnace doors.

Engineer Fred Koval and John Drake

were at work directly in front of the

spot. Their escape from scalding was

narrow. Hot water and steam were

thrown out in great quantities. Work-

men from Bangor will repair the boiler.

Scribner & Smith’s circus was the first

to draw full canvases at Ellsworth foi

about two years. Only a few years age this was called by circus men the best “show-town” in the State. All the big shows came here. But now Ellsworth is given a wide-berth by most of them. The

cause of this was the appearance here ol a ten-cent circus which charged fifty cents

admission, and so humbugged the people lhat when Sells Bros.^came w ith one ol the best shows in the country the attendance was beggarly, and Ellsworth was

put on the black list.

A Bangor paper speaks of the ingenu- ity of a small boy of that city, in com-

bining business with pleasure, by run-

ning a lawn mower by the motive power of a bicycle fastened thereto. There was

a parallel case iu Ellsworth last week A young man living on Pine street had h

carriage to be taken to a repairer's shop on Franklin street. It is down grade nearly all the way. One could pull the carriage to its destination In about three minutes. But this boy wasn’t going tc

work when It was unnecessary. His

bicycle was fastened between the shafts of the carriage and he coasted down to Franklin street, the observed of all. This was the horseless carriage you may have heard about as being in Ellsworth.

Two of the local business men who had a poster advertisement in the circus street parade last Saturday, had their ad. illus»;ated by the circus artist in a style calculated to make them feel that death is not to be dreaded. The illustrations were supposed to be faithful likenesses of the advertisers. But no. The optician’s poster was ornamented with a speaking portrait of the pugilist Charlie Mitchell, while the clothier’s was honored with an

equally good picture of Charles A. Dana. These works of art were much admired

by visitors to the show. Last Thursday evening the Nicolin club

entertained, including members, about seventy guests. It was the full of the moon, a clear beautiful night, and the charms of this picturesque spot were seen

to great advantage. A fine supper was

served, and dancing was indulged in during the evening. Japanese lanterns were

hung around the camp and among the

trees, and added much to the beauty of the scene. At a business meeting early in the

evening two new memoers were elected, and one application for membership re-

ceived. It was voted that Tuesday, Wed- nesday, Thursday and Friday should be ladies' days until November 1. The club is to give a “corn-roast” on Friday even-

ing, Sept. 4.

First Annual Tenuis Tournament. The first annual tournament of the

Ellsworth lawn tennis club opened Tues-

day morning. It will continue during the week.

General tennis rules will govern the

tournament. A committee composed of Messrs. Bartlett, Walker and Parker will decide all matters of dispute. The com-

mittee of arrangements were Hoyt A.

Moore, F. A. Coombs and Henry W. Cush- man.

In the preliminary contests and the tirst rounds of the finals, the winner must

get two in three sets; in others, three in live.

The drawing for opponents resulted in

placing Parker vs. Thomas, Hall vs. C. li.

Burrill, Walker vs. Haynes, L. M. Moore, vs. H. A. Moore, Henry W. Cushman vs.

F. C. Burrill, A. K. Cushman vs. Percy Bartlett.

The preliminary contests were begun Tuesday morning. Nearly all had been finished when The American' went to

press, Wednesday afternoon. The results

up to that time are here given. The contest between Walker and

Haynes was won by the former. The score was ti—1 in the first two sets. II. W. Cushman d- feared F. C. Burrill; score, C-0, P-1. A. K. Cushman was beaten by Bartlett; score, 7 5, 4-6, 6-1.

He Got Tlie Plunder. Dfjiuty-Sheriff Cushman left Ellsworth

last Thursday with llarry Cousins, the

young man \\ ho stole a horse and oilier

property last week, ami returned Friday afternoon, with all that Cousins had pur- loined.

Cousins had only a dim recollection of the route he had taken after he left Ells-

worth, hut when he and Mr. Cushman reached Eddington he recognized tlie road, and easily piloted the officer to the house in Passadumkeag where he had traded 1>». West’s horse. Then he went six miles farther to the place where he had traded the harness. Finally he re-

traced his road to the farm in Lincoln w here, for *3. in*, he auid the second horse and harness, with Fierce’s carriage, robe, blanket and whip.

Here Mr. Cushman began to recovei

the stolen property. The horse and harness were left with their purchaser. The article's owned by Mr. Fierce were taken A call was made at the Fassadumkea^ (arm-house, where Cousins had left the Fils worth horse, it was in the evening and there was some difficulty in getting the head of the house to appear. But he

finally came out. The horse was de- manded.

He was pastured on an island at con

siderable distance from the farm. Mr Cushman procured a boat rowed witl Cousins to the island, caught the horse and brought him to the mainland, behinc the boat. The owners are now in pos session._

too late.

Death of Hamilton Campbell. Hamilton Campbell, of Boston, died at

his home last Sunday evening, after an illness of about a week. He was about sixty-one years old.

Mr. Campbell was a native of Ireland. For many years he resided in Ellsworth, acting for some time as overseer of the estate of the late Col. Black.

He married Miss Margaret Carney, of this city, moving to Boston not long after his marriage. He was engaged in business there at the time of his death. His business career had been successful.

Ellsworth people always found Mr. Campbell a hearty, jovial man, whom it was a pleasure to know. His only near relative living is his wife.

The news of his death was very sudden. Mrs. Campbell was visiting relatives in Ellsworth last week, when she received the news of his illness. She immediately returned to Boston and was with him at the end.

By the death of Mr. Campbell, the Con- gregational church of this city will re-

ceive property amounting to about $700 in value. It is real estate willed by the late Mary Ann Fletcher. The income went to Mr. Campbell during his life. --

glorious and a happy place. Jesus

speaks of it as Him Father’s house, where they arc many mansions prepared for those who axv His. Paul re-

fers to this i! tas of God as rich in glory, and placed l*oforo His %iud but one goal, that of tho eternal happiness of heave n. John's vision of heaven in Revelation represents it as a pl?\^ of

magnificence and of splendor as well s

of peace and happiness. Taking all th« Scripture hays about heaven iuki am-

cur Tsatxh with Paul, “Eye hath pot neon, nor ear

heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath

prepared for them that love Him.” The description that John give* of heaven is necessarily figurative. Yet many of these figures speak <»f the happiu*«sa of heaven.

1. “There was no more sea. " The sea

•peaks of separation, of restlessness, of mutation, things which characterize this life, ar 1 which cause much of tha sorrow of life. With these removed, t!>s cause of sorrow will be removed and happiness will prevail instead.

will dwell iu the New Jerusalem with Hi* people. What happiness that will bring! How we long to see God face to

face, to know more of God. Christ w ill be there also—another source of the joy of heaven. He has gone to prepare a

place for us; that where Ho is there we

may be also. That place is Leaven. Where Christ is that is heaven, and there can lx* no heaven without Him. In the sunshine of His presence there cannot but be everlasting joy, perpetual happiness.

8. “There shall t*> no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former tilings an* passed away.” No death, no tears, no pain! H -w much of the sorrow of life is caused by thos*i things which shall have paj-nvi away!

4. “Then* shall be no night there.” Night speaks ? death and darkle*** aiwl gloom. It is characteristic of earth, but there shall b n<> night in heuv.-u. No night of death, because there shall be no death; no night of fear, because there will be no uuo to m< l*-.st or make afield, no night of watching, for none

Tom and Bill worn not of tan particular about their toilet As a nil® tm*y threw their caps ir. the hall, tumbling over each other in their eagerness t«* b© first at the too la hie.

On this jKwrtieular evening they wore

The murder was out Bob caught the culprit by the collar. Tom squirmed.

“Don't, Bob. the wrote it, really and truly, and Will and I found it and put the names and sent it to you for fun. We were

sorry this morning when wo though; of It,” said Tom remorsefully in conclusion.

4‘It was a low thing to do, Tom, but seeing you have confessed and axe sorry, I’ll forgive you on condition that you never let Katie find out. You hear—and Will too? For she wouldn’t forgive any of us— and—it might lead to trouble.”

So Katie had written it after all! It was

very puzzling. The mystery was explained a fortnight

later. When Bob opened The Penny Pio- neer of that date, he stared and rubbed his eyc*s for there was Katie’s letter, word for word. And, reading further, he saw that The Pioneer had pleasure in announcing that the prize for the best letter contain lng a leap year prop*-sal had been gained by X. Y. Z.—Answers,

The Maim* lumberman who found himself in a California redwood forest would indeed be at a lorn to know how to carry on his business there. None of th met hods familiar to the craft iu the Bint- itcv .non tvi'Uiii avail nun ill iihihji mg these giant growths, and lie must start as

western wojdman. It wus my good fortune a few weeks

ago to spend several days iu one of the

largest lumber camps iu Humlsddt coun-

ty, In the centre of the redwood region. Accompanied by a friend, a former

Maine man w ho La» been fur a long time prominent In the lumber business on the

coast, I started from Eureka over the mountains toward the scene of the lum-

bering operation*. It is summer, ami summer in California means only dry- |

in dust. They have dusty roads in Maine sometimes, but never anything like what

prevails here.- Before we had driven five miles our complexions were indlscernable, ami w hen twenty miles on the way, only irrigation was needed to make our ex-

teriors profitable farming territory. Cpward we rode among the mountains,

rising higher and higher, till we could see

the country for miles around. Nearly all the ranchers in the county are dairymen, and thousands of cattle filled every valley. At one point we met a herd of several hundred rattle being driven to market by the raqueroes and we were glad to draw

up on the roadside, leaving as much of the narrow pass as we could for them.

As the herd approached us, the leaders

stopped, frightened at the unusual sight

hind kept pushing oil till the whole pans ws*ltilled with the closely-packed herd, and urged on hy the raqueror* in the rear, at length they rushed hy. For twenty minute* we sat in our wagon almost stilled by the immense clouds of dust which they raised in passing.

Then we drove on through two or three small towns to our destination, the mills of the Kel Kiver Valley Lumber Co., where we were must hospitably received by the manager ami hi* family. L«l« r we

boarded the locomotive of a logging train ; and rode up t he steep grade into the redwood forest.

fastened to the end less rope Of course it is a long task to make up

such a load, as the logs must be hauled from all sides to their place in the road. but the use of the i1111 •* donkey engine- makes it not only po*-ible. but almost

Majority ICule Sustained, r The supreme court has ordered to issue a writ of mandamus directing the sec re- | tary of state to place upon the official bal- i lots the names of the three republicans nominated for representatives in Bangor, nominated by ward caucuses on the dele- gate plan.

A majority of the city committee favored tins plan, though contrary to custom, while the minority favored the old plan of nominating in general caucus, fwo caucuses were held, and two sets of delegates chosen.

The secretary of state recognized the nominees of the general caucus; the nominees of the ward caucuses protested, and the protest has been sustained.

The nominees of the ward caucuses are 1. K. Stetson, J V. Palmer and Charles S. Pearl; those of the general caucus were I, K. Stetson, Mayor F. O. Beal and F. H. Parkhurst.

Justice Foster read the decision at Ban- gor on Aug. 18, Chief Justice Peters and Associate Justice Wiswell concurring.

No reflection is cast upon the secretary of state b$- the reversal. His action was, âys Justice Foster, “undoubtedly in a-, •ordance with what is believed to be his ‘uty. His honesty of purpose is not ques- ioued.M

A SILVER WEDDING. An event occurred in our community

on the evening of July 2, which was

worth, at least a passing noCe*- but of

which it seems to me tilling notice has

not been taken. Your correspondent went awny fr.u home immediately after

and did not have opportunity to write of it. and he has looked over the columns of The American in vain to find anything concerning it. I refer to the silver

wedding of two of our most prominent and worthy people, Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Gross. Having enjoyed very much the

social privilege of the occasion, I feel like seeing it noticed in your worthy paper.

Mr. and Mrs. Gross were married July 2, 1871, and the twenty-fifrh anniversary of that event furnished occasion for a

celebration. Cards of invitation were

issued early, and preparations made for a

good, social time. The evening proved favorable, the weather being pleasant, and the guests assembled in good num-

bers, filling the house amt overflowing upon the lawn and about the grounds, these being carefully trimmed up, lighted, and furnished here and there with seats for the occasion. The evening party dress of many of the guests would be

worthy of mention, but we dare not

undertake a description of any at this re-

Ahumlant music was furnished, and a

social hour or more, oven after the nr-

rivu! of the last of the guests, passed very pleasantly ami all too swiftly. Two large tables were found to he filled with prts- ents brought, or previously sent, with! enngratillations upon the occasion, by g:i• sis present and by others who would like to have been but could not. These1 presents numbered about s* verity-five, ! and many of them were rare ami costly, including almost everything manufnet- ured from si 1 ver.

Itut t he banquet! This was the notable feature of the occasion. Your corre-

spondent feels totally unable to describe it. though h<- h quite sure t hat he heartily ! enjoyed it. A tent upon the lawn had b in <1 for this, and long tables

ami set under it. The tallies were

furnished with everything that could be desired for such a feast, eatable or drink- able, renumbering that the banquet was

furnished upon strictly t'-ruperance prin- ciples. Some 110 guests sat at these

tnble-q and still there was room, as there were also several messages of regret lying upon * h“ drawing-room table.

When the banqueting hour had well advanced and all were becoming satisfied,

j lion. K. Id. Hpofford, who was present as

| one of tin* guests, arose and addressed the host an i hoitess in well-chosen and tit-

ting words of congratulation upon the e\: ut, calling to mind God’s goodness in

-pmm.g lm to >e the day and in giving them so many tokens of his favor in tue

! temporal prosperity which had come to

them, and upon the hosts of friends which their universal kindliness and

-y tv.pat belie he!(..fulness among neigii- h>.rs and in society had won for them, as evidenced by the patronage of the

! occasion. His words, though complimen- tary, were fitting indeed, and only ex-

pressed what w as in t lie mind and heart

I of all who were present. After resuming his seat, he was followed by Rev. .1. S.

Richards, the pastor of Mr. and Mrs. Gru-’S. Mr. Richards spoke briefly, sec-

onding and emphasizing what Mr. .-pof- forii had said, ami declaring it to he only w mat every one present would like to say con’d t hey hut say it so well. lb then read a poem written for the occasion, which I have obtained for publication and semi you herewith. After the read-

ing of the poem, Mr. Gross responded in

fitting terms ami soon after the guests retired from the tallies.

In the parlors there were more music and social conversation, with much ad-

I miration of the beautiful presents col-

lected; and then there were hand-ahak- Inga and renewed congratulations, w hile

| adieux were saia, and the nappy company departed to their homes, feeling that it was worth while to be married, to have a

“silver wedding.” and to celebrate it. S. j

riage, Deer Isle, .July 2, If*'.#).

JAMES SIMPSON. When a good man falls out of the ranks

a break is felt all along the line. Such a

man was Janies Simpson, who died at his home in Newton, Mass., Aug. 13, of heart disease, nfc*r an :!!n< of ty, nty four hours. The wave of sorrow' that swept over the community reached as far as he was known, for he made friends of all with whom he came in contact in social life, in business relations and as

employer. Mr. Simpson came from Sullivan to

Newton twenty years ego when concrete and asphalt paving was in its infancy, and with his brothers Fred and Joseph went into this business.

By their untiring industry and un-

blemished integrity they built up an ex-

tensive business in Boston ami vicinity and Chicago, and stand among the fore- most cm tractors of tiic country.

To the brothers, his death is an irrepar- able loss, for their relations were so close that their interests were one. To the family circle it is a crushing sorrow. All who have enjoyed t tie* generous hospital- ity of his home can testify to his unselfish nature and his constant care for the com-

fort and pleasure of others. His loving

a few months ago was htautiful to wit- ness ami a key to his whole character. "His 11;t* was gentle; ami the elements So mixed In him, that Nature might .-mini up Ami -ay to all the world, ‘This was ;» man.’”

Funeral services w'fi> held at his home in Newton, Friday afternoon, .;id the floral tributes sent by friends were beautiful.

Among those present well known {<< eastern peoj le v. er«* Mr. atid Mrs. Daniel

Finery, .Mrs. John Finery, Alne Finery, Miss .Jennb- Walker, of Brooklyn, N. V., Charles I.ynam and daughter, Mi-s Nellie

Abbott, of Concord, N. 11., Mr. George ID’’man, Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Miss Jennie Campbell, of Wall iutin.

The remains were taken to Sullivan for burial and .services held at his old home Sat unlay afternoon.

Last s Turday w«ek Senator J >hn Sherii;..::. .:e of the greatest finan- ciers America has ever produced, opened .he campaign for sound

money at Columbus, Ohio. On an-

other \ Ag'- »f this issue we reproduce as much of his speech, made on that occasion, as our space will permit. We urge a careful reading of it.

No change lias been made or sug- gested in the standard yard or pound or gallon -ince these standards were

fixed nearly a century ago. Why should

any change in the standard dollar be made or uggested? Shorter yards, lighter pounds and smaller bushels will relieve the “debtor class” as

much a= shorter dollars. Why not

shorten and lighten everything eise as

well as the dollar?

The money of the country has been

kept to the gold standard for over a

century. Tf it should now he debased to a lower silver standard in order to

enable in : vident persons to repu- diate par- their debts, why may it not be de">:tse,d again to a still lower, say coppi standard as soon as these same per- ns get in debt again, as

they sure will? Where is the end to

be?

It is pr< ( ably true that no nation on

earth has uiade such persistent efforts to mahit n gold and silver, when usc-d as money at a parity, as the United St -tes. From the establishment of tm government every change that has b. u made either in the ratio orinthev. ight and fineness of the two

metals lias been an attempt to maintain their equality as units of value.

Every ai.empt has failed, and the failure is only a repetition of universal experic nee.

The suouters over the ‘-crime of ’T.l” have ..,en ably assisted by Sena- tor Sherman, who has very kindly furnished them with data concerning other “crimes” of the same sort.

Jefferson committed a "crime” in 1S06 by lering a discontinuance of the coin.ag of the silver dollar. In 1X14 Jacks.-u approved of a bill that

again drove silver out of sight. In lo-lo President Pierce approved of an

Vi -...—--

1 act which had substantially the same

I effect. The “criminals of "73" seem 1 to have got in their work by following pretty high-toned precedents.

The Farmington Chronicle has been

doing a little “ilggering” and it dis- covers thst of the 1S7 newspapers in

| Maine only nine are supporting Bryan ! and Sewall. while the Machias Union

dem, has counted up over 200 dem- 1 ocratic papers in the country, inelud

ing the leading democratic papers in

Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado,

right in the heart of the silver states of the West, which are supporting McKinley. “Most of these papers," the Union remarks, “are compara- tively poor in either gold, silver or

other worldly goods, but to be called

gold bugs will not hurt so much nor

cause paiu later on."

No nation, more than an individual, could borrow—money, or anything else—if there were the shadow of a

doubt that what was loaned would be returned in kind or its equivalent. When this government borrowed

j ised to pay back what it received. I Could the government have paid its debts at tile close of the war. or even

; as late as 1-73, its creditors would have been perfectly willing to receive

; coin -either gold or silver; indeed, if there had been a preference, it would have been for silver, for up to

1-73 silver was worth a trifle more

than gold. It was not until silver declined far below gold, that the

astounding proposition to pay the

debt in a coin !«u than the equivalent that been had received was heard That men can be found to defend such a proposition is one of the wonders

j of the world.

The government has the same rigid to establish the unit of length that it lias to establish the unit of value.

Suppose some man in Ellsworth should borrow of M. Gallerl ten yards

1 of <•' "on cloth, each yard being thir-

ty -six inches long, and agree to re-

turn the cloth a year hence. Suppose in the mean time Congress establish, s, as it has a perfect right to do, thirty inches as a yard. What would

every free silver man in Ellsworth 'think of this debtor if, acting on the advantage ?!:• law gave him,he should, at tiie end of the year, snip off sixty im lies of that cotton cloth, and re-

turn ten yards of thirty inches each? What is the difference in morals between this transaction and that of a

man who having borrowed -loo in silver.when silver was worth 100 cents

on a dollar, proposes to pay him in silver when silver is worth only fifty

1 cents on the dollar, simply because between the time he borrowed and the time he proposes to pay, his government nas stamped "one dollar" on

e.u!. of ills fifty cents' worth of silver? Admitting that the government were

honest, would the man be?

Against Free Coinage. T us argument is now being

,ui. u -"me quarters that the fre,- I- ■ ; silver will be of no more advantage to the owner.- of sil-

j ver ■ i tnan to the banks or

money-lenders, or capital generally, and as evidence of the fact, the state-

ment of the manager of a large mining and smelting company of Glendale, Montana, is being freely circulated. This man is quoted as follows:

••The pro position of free and i:ciej»eudcnt un- .;:i• a.-c at the r.tii'i -f 1* :■> 1 when the commercial \a'ue is 32 to 1 is di-hone?: and

If any considerable number of silver mine owners make this sort of talk during the progress of the campaign, it is hard to pred; how small a proportion of the sih party will be left by election day.

The Tariff In the Campaign. The complete capture of tiie demo-

cratic organization at Chicago by the populistic idea, and the adoption of the appalling proposition of the free coinage of silver so overwhelmed the country that for the moment the vital factor of the tariff has been practically overlooked. But as the campaign progresses, discussion of the effect of the present tariff law upon the industries of tiie country is beginning to be heard.

The blighting effects of the Wilson bill are so obvious to all tnoughiful men that it is hard to find even demo-

i crats With temerity enough to defend it. Scarcely an article of general con-

sumption the duty on which was reduced under the Wilson bill— goods, of course, that are made abroad in competition with our own—but is being i.-i.p jr.-d .a ever-increasing

quantities, thereby decreasing home ! production and causing loss of em-

ployment to thousands of American 1 workmen.

True it is that prices of these goods have fallen, but of what advantage are low prices when the thing with

I which to purchase rs warning ? it is of less consequence to the wage- earner what prices are than tuat lie has the wherewithal to purchase. The

only thing the workingman has to ex-

change is his labor; reduce the demand for that, and you reduce his

power to purchase, no matter how low prices may be.

And so it has come about that at the

very time when an inadequate pro- tive tariff has injured the productive industries of the country and reduced the workingman's ability to buy, the

spectre of free silver is threatening the purchasing power of those who are fortunate enough to have fixed

| incomes, as well as those who have not.

This is no time for fine-spun theo-

ries; a “condition confronts us” that j calls for concerted action on the part of every iight-thinking citizen. Un-

questionably many, perhaps most, of

j the rank and file of the party now en-

i gaged in waging war against the soundness of well-established princi-

! pies of industry and of finance are

sincere; but their sincerity would not

save the country from disaster and dishonor should they succeed at the

polls. Let it not be overlooked that the

party of silver is also the party of free trade; that this party would not

only continue the policy that threatens our whole industrial fabric, but would

support what it does not destroy in a

: debased currency. The two spectres of free trade and

free silver stand gaunt over the

j American people; the opportunity is

j offered to smash them both at o»h* fell

J swoop', and we believe the November election will do it.

A Reply to “( rifle.” Ellsworth, Aug. Is, ISJH*.

To the Editor of the American: In The American of Aug. 13 ‘•Critic”

■asks the question. “Are we a Musical

People?" and answer* t .n t .«• logativ*. ! citing the very sue-;:; audience which at-

j tended the concert given a few weeks ago

by M ** Carrie Louise Cleveland and M..-» j Cert rude Emma Hall.

Now is there not a word to he said :n defense of an Ellsworth audience? “Ci lie" draws the conclusion that wej prefer “claptrap" to good uiu*«c. Is it

j not possible that we have learned from [ experience to stay awAy from ail concerts j w h:ch are not personally endorsed, fear- i

iug that wt shall hr&r “claptrap"? A few

j *uch experiences are sufficient to make

| one declare: **i will not go to the hall i again unless I know that my time and

money are not to be wasted." The concert to which “Critic" refer*

wa* modestly advertised by posters an-

muon mg only the names «>f the artist*

[and the masters with whom they have ■studied. Doubtless these latter names

wtre well known to the muskrtlly-edu- > ated of our city and were a guarantee •f the excellence of theconcert, but what

a small percentage of anv community, even of the music-lovers, art* musically- educated, and no others can be expected to he fami .rtr with the names and reputation of foreign teachers. Further ad-

vertisiug was done m the form of press notices, but unfortunately these lose tne:r value w hen we remember how easily they can I** bought of unscrupulous edi-

| tors and a!as! how often it is done. Some | of the best press notices are sent in ad-

vance by some or me poorest concert

companies. Without doubt an audience ten times

as large would have greeted these artist** if they had brought letters of introduc- tion and of personal endorsement to our

citizens. We cannot claim that an Ells- worth audience is as appreciative of clas- sical music as an audience near the

great cities whose taste is continually being cultivated through listening to the best performers, but it has been the experience of the writer that the an-

nouncement of a good concert is always hailed with delight by a large proportion of our citizens, and that there is always a

request for the retu n of a good company. A member of one of the best concert 1

companies that ever visited this city said

! to the writer: “Though not a large audi-

ence, it was one of the best we ever had.

j Before the fi st selection was ended we 1

knew we were in touch with every one of

! our hea-.ers, and their attention never fal- tered.

Another artist who has visited our city mo e than once, and whose name is familiar to all of our citizens wj ites in a personal letter: “i am always glad to go to

Ellsworth, for nowhere do I look into I ; the faces of a m’xed audience and see j

more appreciation and closer attention." j NT r aic-LovER. ——

CITY GOVERNMENT. REMONSTRANCE AGAINST CLOS-

ING THE DOYLE BRIDGE.

! STEEL VERSUS WOOD—STEEL WINS—

A NEW BRIDGE To BE BUILT—WILL

COST LESS IN THE LONG RUN.

At the meeting of the city government, Wednesday Aug. 12, one of the questions discussed was the discontinuance of the

Doyle bridge. Asa ii.alter of form, by which to get

action as speedily as possible, Street- commissioner Kppes presented a petition signed by himself alone, asking that the

bridge be discontinued, and stating that in his opinion, public interest did not demand its being rebuilt. Thursday, Aug. 20, was appointed for a hearing.

The mayor ami all the aldermen ex-

cept Mr. Brown were present, with about twenty interested citizens, on

Thursday afternoon when the meeting was called to order.

City clerk Wyman read a copy of the

notices which he had posted about town.

A call for expressions of opinion followed.

Henry L. Moor said that there had been

more travel over the Doyle bridge than

over any bridge on the river above it. It

was a great convenience to people living on the Branch pond road, and to the school children of the neighborhood. 'The proposed road which would be built to take the place of the bridge would be

very expensive, both in construction and

vurly maintenance, and he believed that

the people of t lie vicinity were unan-

imous for rebuilding the bridge. Howard Hooper, representing the

Hooper mill, stated that the discontinu-

ance of the bridge would be a source of great expense to bis mill, as three horses were now required to do the work done

by two Indore the bridge was closed. H. M. Hall, of the firm of H. M. X B.

flail, presented a remonstram*** signed by t about 300 citizens who want t fie bridge ! rebuilt. He stat'd that with the Doyle

bridge discontinued the* expense to hi- I firm was about ft* a day extra, because of

the longer distance the teams have to t ravel.

Alderman Campbell moved that **r.

! Kppes be given leave to withdraw the * petition presented by him at the Iasi

| meeting, it was made a vote.

! On motion of Alderman Maddoeks, it

was voted to rebuild the Doyle bridge, i Then a discussion arose as to w hether a

-teel bridge would he more desirable

than a wooden structure. Various opin- ions were expressed, hstimates of the

j relative costs were made. | Alderman l ampbell, working on the es-

timates made, tigured that there was a

balance of fhO a year in favor of the steel I bridge, when the cost of n pairing and ■ rebuilding the wooden one i- considered ; with the interest which would have to be

I paid upon money hired by the city to ! build the steel bridge.

On motion of Alderman Higgins, it was

voted that the mayor and board of alder-

men be a committee to inquire* into the respective cost of steel and wooden

bridges and decide which it would be for

the beat interests of the city to build, the

committee to have authority to contract

for t he building of such a bridge as shall

be chosen. Or if it seemed advisable to

repair the old bridge, to have the work done immediately.

THE STATE STREET SIDEWALK.

Ceorge 1J. Stuart, representing a inim-

j her of petitioners, w ho, months ago asked that t he State street sidewalk from

the foot of Peters’ hill to the board walk

j at the top be repaired with crushed rock, asked for a f* w minutes attention.

He inquired why the work of repairing ! the sidewalk ordered by the board some

! months ago had not been done. No sat-

isfaetory explanation could be given. He

then asked that a two-plank sidewalk be built over tiie remains of the old concrete

walk. No action was taken. The meeting then adjourned to allow

the committee to visit the bridge.

STEEL BRIDGE TO BE BCILT.

An examination of the Doyle bridge was made by the committee soon after lUt- UUBC Ul lllf 111111111^.

to be beyond repair. A representative of the Boston bridge

works accompanied tlie committee and

submitted plans and a bid for the con-

struct ion of a steel bridge. The bid was

*o low that a contract was signed. The

desire to build of steel was unanimous.

The new bridge will be what is known

as a riveted, pony truss bridge, steel

throughout. Its total length will be 201

| feet. The firm which has the contract is

well known, and has been in business twenty-seven years.

■ The old bridge is being torn down,

j Work on the new foundation will begin soon.

The Circus.

Scribner A Smith’s circus did a good business in Ellsworth Saturday. The

tents of the show were tilled to their ut-

most capacity and no one went away dis-

satisfied, nit hough many were agreeably disappointed in the character of the show.

It was, perhaps, the best show for the

price that has ever visited this city. Its

performers are stars. No act was done in any but a first-class manner. The

equestrian feats and the juggling were

among the best ever seen here.

The circus was conducted throughout in an unexceptionable way. The clowns, the favorites of the children, furnished

genuine amusement. The street parade at noon was quite up

to the average of shows furnishing their

own locomotion. After the matinee, there was an opportunity t<~» see the feed-

ing of the wild animals in the menagerie. Scribner A Smith sustained in Ells-

worth their previous good reputation.

Merit wins and that is why Hood’s Sarsa-

parilla holds the abiding confidence of the pub- MV. |l.P* Sarsaparilla i- known by the cure*

TUB COl’N’TY FAIR

Opens Next Tuesday Final Touches Being Put Ou.

Next week political talk will have to

give place in a great measure to talk about

tbe Hancock county fair, for tbe linest exhibition ever seen in this county will be given next Tuesday, Wednesday and

Thursday, provided Old Prob. has no ob-

jection. Tbe weather is the only thing now In

doubt!. If pleasant, this year’s fair will be long remembered as a model of its

kind. The elements have so far been

considerate. Let us hope that they will

still favor us.

Wednesday morning there was nothing to lead the association to think that any attraction advertised would fail them.

Everything is auspicious. It is yet too

early for the entries in the horse races; horsemen Rre queer people; they never

enter until the last minute, but there will, no doubt, be a large list. Beside tbe

races, Prof. Bristol is expected with his

wonderful troupe of trained horses. The foot and hurdle races will be large-

ly entered. The ball games will probably be between teams from Bar Harbor, Sor-

rento and Ellsworth, besides the E. H. S. freshman and the Bluehiil boys.

The balloon ascensions will be made by one of tbe most successful aeronauts In

tbe country. When it is known that the

Dirigos and the Senator Hales will be in

the hose races, 1 he world will know that lightning time will be made.

The floral parade will be managed by Mrs. A. W. Ellis, Mrs. Henry J. Joy, Mrs. Ann 1'. tJrecly, Mrs. Henry E. Davis, Mrs. Deo. A. Phillips, Mrs. F. H. Osgood, and

Misses Mary A. Greely ami Annie L. Joy. About lifteen teams have already been

pledged. The ladies desire that all be on hand at 10 a. in., Tuesday. The out- look for fanlasties is good.

Farm produce will he in the best of eonditiou for exhibition next week and the live slo k sluo*. will b«-as large as ever.

3. that t-veryone who has anything of historical interest, whether bear- ing upon our late rebellion or of more re- unite eniin" ii, nr connected with t tie local history of the towns of this county, in fact anything old nr strange will bring or send such to t be main hall in care of Ur. Geo. A. Phillips. All such articles should of course ne accompanied with the owner’s name, and vsilh an account of its history. 'Plies. will be care-

fully guarded and returned to owner. l’Ue people of Eden have been very kind, and already dozens of articles of great value have been sent in. Let Ellsworth and other towns he as

liberal, and the exhibit will exceed any- tbig of the kind ever seen in eastern Maine.

People in Moral parade or in fantastic show admitted fret* for the day.

j whether members of the regimental asso ciation or not. Excursions to the nn-

! tional soldiers’ home at Togus, and to the j camp-ground of the State militia at Augusta, during “muster-week,” are

I contemplated.

Brewer Boys Getting Anxious. The hoys of the Brewer hose running

team are already beginning to whistle to

get their courage up for their contest with the Ellsworth Dirigos at Rockland. Listen to their tale of woe as told by the Brewer '*orrespondent of the Bangor papers:

“The members of Brewer’s champion hose running team, the Dirigos, are afraid of the Ellsworths, are they? Nit! Ac- cording to some of the talk which has come from Ellsworth this week, one would think that the reason why the Brewer team gave up going to Ellsworth to participate in the races to be held during the Hancock county fair was on account of being afraid to meet the Ells- worth teams.

“The hoys intended to go to Ellsworth, until the invitation came along to go to Rockland, Sept. 17. All the members of the team were unanimous for ac- cepting the Rockland invitation and as they do not care to take more than one more trip this fall they gave up the Ells- worth visit. The majority of the members of the Brewer team are so employed that they cannot get off to take in everything they may wish and they have to arrange so as to attend only such places as they think they can get the most fun and satisfaction.

“Brewer never was afraid of Ellsworth and never will be and every member of the Dirigos is hoping that the Ellsworth team will be at Rocklandj and if they don't beat them they will give them one of the hardest races of their lives. If the Ellsworth teams think that the announcement that they are going to chase the Brewer team to Rockland acts in any

; way against the courage of the Brewer ! boys they are mistaken.

| “it will be too bad if all of the State ! Iiohc racing teams get frightened (?) away from Ellsworth, and the home

i teams have it all to themselves at the fair. But l fieri it will bo good practice for the hoys and they will need it a!!.”

grangers’ field day.

Tuesday, Aug. 18, was set apart by Bainbow grange to be observed as field day. The day proved an ideal one for an

excursion, and by 10 o’clock many grangers and their friends had assembled in the pine grove near the residence of N. E. Norton, of South Penobscot.

The meeting was called to order by Worthy Master John E. Dority. Kev. 11. E. Norton welcomed the assembly in a

<II)c King’s daughters. [This department Is conducted by the Hand

Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, of New York, corresponding secretary of the

King’o Daughters, addressed a large audience in the Unitarian vestry last Friday evening, on the work of the organization throughout the country.

Mrs. Davis is a fascinating speaker. She held the attention of her audience for two hours. She gave a history of the order since its establishment, paying special attention to the work in the South and West. The recital of the miseries of the poor in New York city moved many to tears.

Before the address a piano solo was

rendered by Miss Marion Bartlett. The address was followed by prayer by Mrs. Davis and the singing of a hymn by the congregation. A collection was taken to

defray expenses. A reception attended

by the Iland-in-Hand circle of King’s Daughters of this city was held in the

parlors of the vestry from 5 until 7 ^

o’clock. Refreshments were served. The j event was very enjoyable.

Trotting at ISIuehill. The August meeting of the Hancock

county agricultural society at Moun- tain park, Biuehill, Wednesday, Aug. 19, was very succesful. The races were good, as they generally are at Biuehill, and tlie attendance was nearly doubled by the excursionists from Ellsworth and Isle an Haut.

The racing was confined to two classes, each trot or pace, with a purse of £10).

In the 2.50 class there were five starters. Henry Wilkes won, with Rapid Transit a

close second, so close in the final heat that the spectators were unable to decide which was the winner. The horses were neck and neck and both broke under the wire. The excitement was great.

The winner’s best time was 2 39%. The others who earned a part of the purse were Henry Wilkes, who captured second money, Jet, third, and Victor, fourth.

The 2.35 class was easily won by Jacob T., who was driven by E. L. Fisher, of this city. His best time was 2.3-1%.

There were three other starters. Ecks- tein was second, Sam Moore, third, and

Gypsy, fourth. Between heats George H. Stover drove

an exhibition heat with his promising colt.

I’rof. Bristol’s trained horses were ex- hibited during t he day. In the forenoon there was a game of base ball between the Bluehill team and a team from Brook- lin. As announced in last week's AMER- ICAN, the Brook tins were the victors, 12 to 3.

MONKV—T? »** “f'NtVF, OF ’73” ONLY A REPETITION OF PRIMARY

j “CRIMES” — THE NATIONAL

honor must re upheld.

At the opening of the republican cam-

paign in Ohio on August 15 Senator John

Sherman made the principal speech of the

occasion. After paying a glowing tribute

to Mr. McKinley, Mr. Sherman said:

It is t be d»*»t ingnishing feature of our

republican government that every question affecting the people of the United States m> uu*mulci> be determined by them a» tho baf’ot box Fverv legal voter

has an equal voice in deciding it, however difficult the problem may he. It so hap- pens that at the coming presidential election there will be submitted to your

judgment two such questions, one of which is whether any holder of silver bullion may deposit at the mints of the

I’nited States, and have it coined for his

benefit and without cost to him into sil-

ver dollars, each of the weight of 412 U,

grains of standard silver nine-tenths fine, i and may tender them for any debt, public

or private. PROTECTION AN ISSUE.

The other question is whether in levy- ing duties or taxes on imported goods we

should only consider the revenue re-

quired, or whether while raising the needed revenue we should seek also to

protect and encourage domestic indus-

tries; the one is calk'd revenue tariff and

the otlnr a protective tariff. Both the

silver ami tariff are vital questions of do-

mestic policy of equal importance, but 1

propo.-i on this occasion to confine my remarks mainly to what is known as the

free c image of silver at the ratio of sixteen parts of silver to one of gold. This i*sue is thrust upon us by the democratic party, or rather by the populistic branch of the democratic party.

<i Id and silver coins are recognized by al. commercial nations i»f the world as the

best standards of values, as the measure of every artick* of desire, of everything that

In the meantime France and other countries adoj ted the ratio of 15 ounces

of silver a* the A:\b-nt of one ounce

d gold. To avoid these embarrassing changes lmgluud, in l>lh, adopted gold as the single standard in that country and gold as subsidiary coin.

In 1831. during the administration of President J&c keon, and under the leader-

ship of Deni-! Webster and Thomas H.

Renton, Cong res* adopted the ratio of

It! ounces of silver to ^ ounce of gold, by reducing the numbe. of grains iu the

gold coin. As silver was then slightly undervalued, it was not largely coined.

Silver could be coined in France at the

ratio of 15 to 1 and the owner of silver

bullion could send it to France and have

it converted into coin at that ratio, thus

receiving about 3 per cent, more for his bullion than if coined at the American ratio of lb to 1. Gold became the only American coin in circulation, and the avowed purpose of the passage of the law

of 1843 was to MAKE GOLD THE STANDARD.

This was declared by the committee of

the House of Representatives, who had

Since 1878 there have been nine epi- demics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used

with perfect success. Dysentery, when

epidemic, is almost ns severe and danger- ous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the

best efforts of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its ravages; this

remedy, however, ha* cured the most ma-

lignant cases, both of children and adults, and under th»* most trying conditions,

charge of the bill, who nalil in their re- j port; “The committee think that the de- j sideratum in the monetary system is a j standard of uniform value; they cannot ascertain that both metals have ever circulated simultaneously, concurrently and

indiscriminately in any country where there are hanks or money dealers, and

they enicriain mo conviction mm me j nearest approach to an invariable stand-

;• ; _* ;* p ; iM r»<n .««» :

which metal shall compose exclusively the currency for large payments.”

This law, heartily approved by Andrew Jackson, would now be called

“THE CRIME OF 1834.” In 1853, upon the report of Senator I

Hunter, when Pierre was President, and | when sll branches of the government | were under democratic control, Congress reiiuced the quantity of silver in the silver c«dn« half dimes, dimes, quarters I and half dollars more than ti per cent., | directed the purchase of silver for their 1

coinage on government account, ahol- | ished the law for their free coinage and umuc m in w icgui muu-t iui 50, uiuy

leaving gold still practically the only full

ligal tender United States coin. At this time the silver dollar had disappeared from the current coins of the United Stat«*s, and was practically and purposely demonetized.

The purpose of this net is thus stated

by the chairman of the committee having the hill in charge in the House of Repre- sentatives :

We propose, so far as these coins are

concerned, to mako silver subservient to the gold coin of the country. W’e intend to do what the best writers on political economy have approved by experience, where the experiment lias been tried, lias demonstrated to be the best, and what the committee believed to be necessary, and proposed to make but one standard of currency and to make all others subservient to it. We mean to make gold the standard coin.

This. I suppose, would now be called “TUB CRIME OK 1853.”

Silver was practically demonetized by this act and the act of 1831. It is certain that from lw01, when Mr. Jefferson became President, to the close of Buchanan's administration in 1NU1, the democratic parly was a gold party, opposed to silver and all forms of paper money. As I have

already stated, Mr. Jefferson, in 180), sus-

pended the coinage of silver dollars, and it remained suspended for more than

thirty \enrs. The act of Congress of I'.'ii r-i aid ished gold as practically the

only m n in circulation, (told coins

demand of the populist party and w hen

silver has fallen in market value to nearly one-half i'.s former value, sicks to de-

monetize gold and to establish silver a-,

t he sole s!andard of value. Whenlhe republican party came into

power in lS'd by liie election of Mr. I.in •o'n, it had to face a formidable re-

bellion. tiold and silver were alike ban-

ished from eirculation, and irredeemable

paper of all denominations from leu cents to i UA) was sub-' il uted in place of

coin. When the war wa- over the republican jmrty sought to restore specie psy- Ui. i.t tts u 1 ii as practicable. In Mar* n.

lMi.i, it pledged the faith of tin- nation to

payment in coin, or its equivalent, of ail

bonds of the United States, and to redeem

at the earliest praet-icul moment in coin.

In order to carry out this pledge it t t" revise the various

r->• migt* luws of tht* l‘oiled State-*. this

was promptly ami very carefully done

l.i\ a .11 fiaided in the treasury department while Mr. Bout well w as secretary. It was thoroughly eonsidtred by the experts of that department and was

printed aid submitted to all persons in

the Co iu d Slates w ho were supposed to

be familiar w ith the coinage laws. The

bill, containing sixty-seven sections, accompanied by a ma-s of information that tills a volume, was sent to Congress April INTO, bv Secretary BoutweU. ami

its passage was strongly recoinin' mb-.i by him.

This bill omitted from the coins of the

Cuited States the silver dollar precisely as

w as done in lSod, but provided for t he

coinage of t he fraet i- mal parts of t lie dol-

lar in accordance with the act of that

year. This bill was pending in Congo -- for three years, was carefully considered in both houses and special attention w as

called to the omission of the 412grains silver dollar, w hich was never in the bill

at any stage, and thd reasons for this omission given. It was finally determined ut the urgent request of members from

the Pacific coast to insert among the sil-

ver coins trade dollar containing 120

grains of standard silver, but this dollar

was made, like the silver eoinsf a legal tender for fo only. There was but one

yea and nay vote on the hill and that was

on the proposition to repeal the charge made by the mints for the coinage of

gold. 1 voted against this repeal. The bill passed both houses and became

a law Feb. 12, 1873, by practically a unani-

mous vote of both parties, and was speci- ally supported and voted for hy the sena-

tors and members from the silver states. 1 This has been called the

“CRIME OK 1873,” and as the bill was under my charge in the Senate 1 was held tobethechief crim- inal. It was, in fact, a wise measure of

public policy, carefully discussed and

considered during three years. « * * * *

WHAT SENATOR JONES SAII).

It has been said that the dropping of

the silver dollar in the coinage act of

1873 was surreptitiously done. This

charge is shown to be false by the de-

bates in Congress, and especially by declarations of the men who now make the charge. Sixteeu months after the

1 passage of that act Senator Jones, of

Nevada, in r debate in the Senate June 11, 1374, said:

“V rim opposed to any proposition, come

in whatever form it nun/, that attempts to j orerride what God Himself has mane for \ money. / believe the sooner we come down to a purely gold standard the better it will be for the country.”

WHAT HKNATOR STKWART SAID.

same debate on the 13th of June, 1874, ‘■aid* !

“.Sir, the laboring man and producer is entitled to hare his product and his labor measured by the same standard of the world that measures your national debt. Give him such a standard, give him money as you require from him. You re-

quire it from the producer. You require from the laboring man gold to pay the interest on your national debf, which is right, which cannot be avoided if you mean to save national honor; but then give him the same money with which to pay that debt.”

Mr. Sherman then gave a sketch of the

1't‘NU mpi ion net o f io7t», of the I’imid-. i»i

son act, under which large silver pur-

chases were made by the government, and

of t tie Sherman act of 1890. He quoted

dared it the policy of the government to use both gold and silver as money of

equal intrinsic and exchangeable value.

He also showed how the hoped-for result

of arresting the decline in the piece of

silver failed realization. Continuing he

said: Let us contemplate for a while the in-

evitable result of the free coinage of sil-

ver, even if 1 repeat what I say. It would obligate every contract for the payment of money made since Jan. 1, 1879. The resumption act, which went into operation on that day, provided for the payment in coin on demand of all United States notes presented for redemption. All forms of money, whether of silver or

gold or paper were then maintained at par with each other, and have been so maintained ever since. During all this period gold and silver coins at par with each other have been the standards of value of all loans, contracts or purchases, and the faith of the United States was pledged for their maintenance at parity with each other. Although silver bullion declined in market value, the coins niHde from it have been ke pt at par with gold coins at the legal ratio of lb to 1. Hut if the free coinage of silver is authorized, then the market value of silver bullion becomes the standard for payments on all con-

tract*- made in the past, the present or the

future; 11-' grains of standard silver

bullion, worth now 53 rents, can, with free oinnge. he coined into a dollar upon the ! maud of any holder of such bullion. I ms dollar is delivered to the owner of the bullion, and is m-r supported by the list of be jo-vt rum. at. Tee government d ii s not undertake to maintain its relative value v h gold. 1 lie government stamps it, “This is a dollar.” Its pur-

rias.ng power is 53 cents, tint its debt-

paying j v. er is one dollar. It is to be a

legal tender for one dollar of debt, but in the* puridia.se of any rti-de only worth 53' t cents for t lu Her of t lie article, who can fix in { "i nr •uding to the kind of

Now, fellow-citizens, I have said all 1 desire to say at present on the free coinage of silver. 1 have the confident hope that the great body of the republican ami democratic parties, representing the con-

servative elements of our people, will

stamp their rebuke upon this measure of infamy and thus preserve intact the honor, the credit and glory of our great country. This matter of the free coinage of silver and the degradation of the standard of value involves not only questions of money, but of honor and good faith. When their honor is involved the

people never fail to respond. They have

complied with every promise and paid every debt contracted since the organization of the national government as it became due. They have paid four-fifths of the debt contracted during the civil war, and the prospect was hopeful that all of it would he paid before the close of the century, but this reversing our standards

Let um settle it by following the action of Washington, Hamilton, .Jefferson. Hen- ton, Hunter, Lincoln and Grant. Let us maintain silver and gold at par with each other at he legal ratio of 1H to 1 until a
