Croker thinks it better to send a sub stitute into the mayoralty light. Weyier endorses the starvation of non-combatants as his most effective war policy. Some think Gallinger’s Schurz a mis fit and there is considerable chafing in consequence. President Ratehford’s efforts to settle the miners' strike commend his leader ship, though they will probably expose him to the denunciation of some of the hot-heads. "At last we are beginning to have a navy fit to uphold the interests of our people.” remarks Assistant Secretary Roosevelt after inspecting it. A good beginning is just the kind of incentive for such as "Roosevelt to try and im prove on it. The report that England has ac quired possession of the Panama Canal company's privileges is denied. Never theless the fact remains that work is still being done on the canal and con siderable lias been accomplished; also that the whole thing is for sale. Those who see in JVlr. Bryan's be havior at the railroad accident some thing heroic and remarkable must have had a mighty poor opinion of him before. What did they expect him to do, sit down beside the debris and blubber? We have all along regarded him as a genial man, abounding in energy, well endowed with pluck, social and kindly in liis instincts, in brief, a man who would make a good traveling companion under all circumstances save on the political highways. For the hem-fit of those who have im plicit reliance in all the glowing tales of wealth awaiting the person who had courage to brave an Alaskan winter we would call their attention to the facts respecting those Arkansas pearl fisheries about which so much has been said. Newspaper accounts were fully as glowing and apparently as well sub stantiated as those which have been published from the Klondyke. So ex cited became the; dwellers in the vicin ity of those lakes where the pearls were found that they abandoned all other pursuits and devoted themselves to searching for the precious gems. But now that tile product of their la bors has been sent to market it is found that out of the thousands of pearls sent for sale only now and then one Is found which is marketable. Can t New York Be Quarantined Against Crokerism. Is Tammany the only factor in Greater New York politics able to act logically? That is the impression some who learn only by what they read are getting of the situation in the metrop olis. The Citizens' Union takes the ground that all interests should he subor dinated in the coming municipal elec tion to tin* purpose of obtaining good government divorced from national affairs. Has that body acted consist ently with that avowed principle? Lot us see. The Union fearing it could hot compel the only party organization, to which it could look for support, to ac cept its candidate and its theory, that party organizations have no part as such in municipal affairs, lias taken the very step calculated to repel the aid its candidate must have to defeat Tammany, the bad government, it so hysterically deplores. In other words the members of that clique have set the gratification of their pride above good government. The Republican party managers, in censed at the arrogance of the Citizens’ Union, have been quoted as saying they would now sooner deal with Tam many than the Union. And yet tin principle they have insisted upon is that it is impossible to have sueli a a important election, which will invest one man with power second to that no elective office in the country, savt the presidency, without exerting an in fluence upon state and national polities ami that it is but right the regulat party organizations should direct tie fight. Are we to infer from these al leged threats that the Republican man agers, believing this, prefer to have tie other national party triumph iiiGreatct New York than to have the bumptious Citizens’ Union secure the election ol its candidate, a good one and a foe ti iiad government? We are not pre pared to accept this as their final eon elusion. illogical and mischievous us ii is. If the Republican organization car nominate its own candidate, and it un doubtedly would select a good one, an can elect him, surely it has had prove cation enough to do so regardless the protests of the Citizens' Union Rut can it do this? And if there shal not he reasonable assurance that r can, assurance which now seems ex tremely doubtful, can it be logical, con-; slstent with Its .pretensions. In any1 other way than by seeking the defeat of Democratic party, for which In that city Tammany stands .sponsor?. The logic of the situation was for all anti Tammany forces to unite. The Citi zens’ Union has shown its unwilling ness .to do this except it could unite all others under its banner. Accordingly if Greater New York is saved from Tammany the Republican organization must now take the effective step. Rut Tammany’s position is perfectly logical. "To the victors belong the spoils and everything shall be spoil.;" the push cart vendor, the virtue ofjj woman, the verdicts of the courts, the. rights of school children, the franchises] of corporations, all tfyese and more, alkj spoils, and never a question asked as to where the plunder came from. Yes, Tammany is logical and so is Croker. returning from tin- English race track, to replenish his purse after methods that the freebooters of the days of Robin Hood would have scorned. Whither does all this logic of Tam many and lack of it on the part of the Citizens' Union tend? Nothing more nor less than to demonstrate that the con struction of the Greater New York was a counterpart of the construction of tlie tower of Babel. We do not be lieve this can tie. There ought to lie and we believe there are enough rea sonable people in that great metropolis ready to sacrifice- a little of pride and defer a little of hobby, may be of principle in theory, in order to quarantine the town against Crokerism. There is more in vulved in this than the yellow fever quarantine. The Insolent ‘But" in Japan's Proposal. Now that the full text of Japan’s ac ceptance of the proposition to arbitrate the difficulties existing between that country and Hawaii lias been made public it is seen that its willingness to consent to arbitral ion has a string tied to it. To such an extent is this accept ance modified that the meat of the con troversy is not included among the dif ferences to be passed upon. It will be remembered that the Ha waiian government, believing that Japanese soldiers were being imported into that country as civilians in large numbers, when there was no real de mand for such inllux unless it should be in the alleged polity of Japan to acquire control of the islands, and be ing convinced that the $50 per head re quired by treaty was furnished either by the government or the steamship companies and was taken from the immigrant after he bad landed, sent these immigrants back. Japan assumed that the Hawaiian government was bound to admit these immigrants and had no right to look behind the tender of the money, no right to question the purpose of the immigrant; implying that should Japan import a portion of her army into Ha waii, placing in the hands of each man on his arrival there $.1o and taking u from him after he hail landed, even if it were manifest to Hawaii that those soldiers were landed for the purpose of overthrowing the government, Hawaii would have no right to question or i fuse them admission under the treaty. Such a "but" in Japan's acceptance of arbitration is little if any short of in solence. Furthermore Japan insists that the act of Hawaii in refusing to admit these objectionable immigrant was arbitrary and capricious because of the various excuses offered for doing so. Hawaii will probably be in no baste to accept these terms without modilicatiun. _ Civilian Dress for Ihe 8. of V. One feature of the report of the com mander-in-chief of file Sons of Vet erans is likely to excite considerable disc ussion. Among other recommenda tions are these: “We have during the past six years added annually an average of nearly 12,ooo new recruits, and, notwithstand ing l liis steady and quite respectable addition, we have been unable to cheek the appalling loss in our aggregate membership. The numerous interviews and communications which I have had on this subject tend to show conclu sively that the general adoption of th• military feature as at present obtains with us is objectionable to the average citizen w!io is eligible to membership in our organization. There are, of cours”, those lo whom the military feature is attractive, hut i am firmly convinced that such is not the ease with the great majority of those whom we desire to i nroll as members in our organization. As a consequence, we limit our mem bership to the few. comparatively speaking, and too often thereby lower the general standing of our camp mem bership. “We must meet the faets with intelli gent and positive action if we are to hope to survive and attain the numeri cal strength necessary. The matter s too serious and involves too many issues to lie quickly determined. My investigations.'however, lend me to the sincere belief that our future success will lie in a complete revision of our fundamental laws. This suggestion would contemplate the abolition of the military and uniform features as w c know them today, depending upon the adoption of a buttonhole decoration of neat and attractive design. For that minority eligible to membership in our organization who take deep interest in military matters, provision could be j made, empowering a division cora I rnander to issue a dispensation permit I ting a camp to establish an armed and equipped body." I The thought is suggested that as the j order increases in years this change becomes all the more desirable. There was a time when the organization had for the most part youth to select from and youth arc naturally attracted by military features, such us now are a distinguishing feature of the organiza tion. The maintenance of a military or say it did. Many women who have press*# their husband' trousers have madeythe crease come on tile side of the b g instead of in th front.

A I'nity woman died the other day on her way to the depot to meet her sister whom she had not seen for 2.1 years. An exchange wants it borne in mind that it is "Hewcs Point" not "Hughes Point.” and was named for a man. ilewes, who once lived in Isleboro. The oldest inhabitants of Chester ville never knew the waters of the Hit tie Norridgcwook to run over the dam all summer before tbis season. A Thorndike man, J. F. Heath, went to Camden a week or more ago to visit his brother. While passing through Northport Mr. Heath met Captain John Crockett, with whom as a boy he had shipped for a fishing cruise on board the old schooner. Montezuma. 42 years ago, since which time the men had not met. A Senrsport man went to the Eastern State fair and while viewing the sights was run over by a pair of horses at tached to a huekboard and quite severely injured. As soon as lie was able lie started for home. His horse shield on the way. turning the wagon upside down and throwing him and lbs brother out. Both were injured, the latter seriously. The postofilee at Scarboro Beach was broken into Tuesday night. The work is supposed to have been done by tramps, but nothing of any value was taken. The door was pried open with a bar and several letters opened. The thieves went from the office to the store of J. H. Libby and effected an entrance there. So far as is known they took only some small beer there, even leaving some fresh turnovers un eaten. The postoftiee authorities have been notified but there is no clue to the burglars. Dionne and Crafts, the liquor con stables, have kept good their promise and this week have been seizing club beer in large quantities. Nearly all the elulis have suspended orders and the little that has come within a day or two lias been seized. It is understood that the Bluebell Club and the Herman Club are to appear in court this morn ing to claim their beer and try and re cover it, but there doesn't seem to be much of a chance for them to succeed according to a recent decision of Judge Cornish, who rules that according to the statute any place resorted to for drinking purposes is a nuisance, and that stuff designed for such a place may be seized. It looks a bit dubious for the clubs if Dionne and Crafts re main firm in their determination to seize dub stuff.—Lewiston Sun. IN FAIR VENICE. Si|Ms IN ktm A***f Mm FaImm aN Historic Mb that Cily. Venice, Aug. 3, 1897. While every land possesses its dis tinctive characteristics that attract the traveller with the charm of novelty, there is a subtle something, surround ing Italy, and Italy alone. It is not only its blue unclouded skies and pic turesque places, for under the former there is, In summer, scorching heat an.l In the latter innumerable discomforts, but the feeling awakened, the imagina tion kindled there can be experienced In greater degree we know only in far off Palestine. Who can realize physical annoyances while listening for the call "Milano!” This was to be the "open sesame” that should spread before*pur eager eyes the treasures of Italia. A dreamless night's rest prepared us on the following day for “fresh churches and pastures new.” These we found without difficulty in the city which boasts the third largest cathedral of the world, and the galerie of Victor Emanuel. This latter, with its im mense glass covered dome, is the fa vorite shopping place and promenade of the Milanees. We did not realize in "'hat direction we were moving, as we walked under the late king's triumphal arch, when Io! fronting us was the mighty House of God. The surprise was so complete, the structure so stu pendous, that we could only stand m awed silence before it. Thousands of threadlike spires, oaeh bearing a sculptured saint, rose high in air; Hy ing buttresses carved in many fantas tic shapes, the most wonderful I wing the garden where every flower and fruit, wrought in stone nourished iri never-fading beauty. We reached the topmost pinnacle and looked beyond the city far away to Monta ltosa in h r robe of white; then down, down w went into the crypt, to the solid silv -r enupei mat contains tne san opnagus, in which is shown the body of tie patron saint of Mllaai; this relic has lain here for centuries clothed in tie’ oflieial robes covered with gems; tie face brown and shriveled, while sus pended above the head are the emerald and diamond cross a,id crown of price less value. Throughout our journey itigs we have carried with us our cross stitch card-board motto inscribed "Above all things be temperate in speech." Perhaps the struggles wv have made to live up to that inscrip tion. arc not apparent in our letters, hut when we reached Venice, we were worsted, and east ng that motto Into the Adriatic we gave way to our vo cabulary. All the party in our railway carriage were of one mind as the see jit of salt sea reach**! us. and (tools of water came in sight, and then small canals and we knew we were in the city of romance and of poetry. The intoxication of the plait* began, lh»* moment we stepped into one of the hundreds of gondolas floating near the station, and saw ail around us the painted sails, red. brown and yellow. How exhilarating it was to hear 10 swarthy gondoliers wrangling in me lodious Italian! and thv had. not once merely, hut many times and only longed that it might last the “thousand and one nights.” To some of our members the unusually large excursion parties have encoun tered, have been a serious annoyance, but to us they gave deep cause for thankful ness thtit we were not a "Cookie." for un til we saw one leader gathering his forces seventy-live strong, both black and white, we dienlng for one last glimpse of earth, and shuddered as we gazed down to think what countless c rimes the- Adriatic- hid. The architecture °f Venice—its originality, its varied hues, has it not all been told in song and story? The splendor of it all culminates in the ante —of Michael Angelo whose “Day and Night." "Morning and Evening” were a revelation in sculpture. Florence! wliefs Fra Angelico consummated in color, the semblance of his heavenly visitants, and (•lotto and Della Hohia wrought Imper ishable monuments—we were as those stricken dumb, for speech “In wonder died a wav."
