Much has been accom plished for the good of Brunswick, and much more can be accomplished if the taxpayers will give their support as they have within the past two ou -ree years. Tne city's credit has bapn re stored and its financial affairs ate on a sound basis, all hills and •P..g:i tions being promptly 'met. Such pub lic inTjirttvemehts have been m.-fede as the condition of the treasury permit ted. With tin- debt so largely reduced much more can be done durfcng the next-two years in improving ;uul beau tifying our streets and parks. While 1 approve-all the provisions of the platform adopted by the elut> at the noniinateing meeting, there is one plank that i particularly tav-or, and t ;iat is the proposed appropriation of five thousand dollars, which is to he ittadeTn older to enable the hoard oi education to erect a substantial school building in New Town. Perhaps a rua j-nTcy of the children who attend the pulnic scaoolOive in _,ew Town, and the zffstsace to the present school makes another hiplding a necessity. Snould my past record be endorsed at the polls in December, I shall continue to do all in my power to give faithful service in Lite discharge of my official duties. Very truly, yo-.jrs, T. Newman.

GREENE AND GAYNOR CASE • Government Not Willing tj Let the Present Status of the Case Con tinue—Suit Against Relatives of Carter. , Washington, November 24.—United Slates District Attorney Erwin has been in Washington for several days in connection with the Carter east-. He left liere today for Chicago, where he a pears for the government in cer tain proceedings before a master. These are brought by the government against two relatives of Captain Car ter to force a snowing of certain property of Captain Carter of which they n.e imposed to have entire pos session. Tne amount originally in volved was if 1 20,0( . At the hearing which iias been ir. progress for some time, the dofendai t Lave shown that about $(10,000 of Captain Carter’s property which was in their hands was transferred by tnejii before these proeet uings were begun. This is, of course, beyond the teach of the gov ernment, or at least tne responsibility of these particular defendants for that sum is cleared away. Mr. .a win is pressing the case with the idea of forcing the payment to (he govern ment of the remaining $90,000. He declines to discuss tne detail.-; of this particular proceeding fuither than to express his confidence in se curing for Hie government other sums in addition to the large amounts no tms alu-udy secured. With regard to / * ** ! Green and Gayuor ho is equally reti cent, but he intimates that the govern ment of the United States is by no means willing to let the present status of taeir ease continue, and that, further efforts to bring those two back Horn Canada will he made. Just what shape thes^proceedings will take Mr. Erwin naturally declines to say. The protect ton which Canadian authorities have given Greene and Gayuor, in the face oi tiie fact that the iaw sustains every step the legal authorities of this government took to secure them, stands, of course, as the special har rier for their protection. Formal com plaint has been entered by this govern ment against the official interference which had so far prevented the return oi Greene and Gaynor, but it is im possible as yet to say whether that will bring tangible results.
