a home view-a widowed mother and her four

fearing still greater want. But at the moment

THE GERMANIA BAND CoNCERT.-We can
not understand why it is but superior per-
formance Of any kind in Portland never seems
to meet with the success it deserves The only
instance that we can remember where musical
merit has really met with its deserts was in
the case of the "Creation" performances.
Our Portland Band has only received fair en-
enlargement when they have given concerts
in hall. but the Germania Band have fayed
particularly hard. If we remember rightly
the last time they appeared before Portland
audience without including the Oratorios)
they had fearful array of empty benches, al
though their music was superb. 1t was hardly
so bad last evening, but still the audience was
not what it should have been.
But for one thing let us be truly thankful.
The assemblage was appreciative, and VIC &C.
tually sat through the first half Of the concert
without hearing the door slam continually, as
first one person and then another would enter
or retire in the midst of some beautiful air.
The music was superb. From the opening
"JubelP' overture to the last piece in the pro-
grammes every selection was played with the
same care and finish as if the splendid apart
ment had been packed with an eager and en-
thusastic audience. We would especially call
attention to the Jubel overture, the flute solo
on "Home, Sweet Home" the Haydn Sym
phony in D, and Miss Barton's aria composed
by Mercadante. Mozart's Turkish March
was also beautifully played. Miss Barton re-
newed the pleasing impression she created here
when she sung in concert given by Ole Bull
in Deering Hall about year ago. She has 9
very rich, full voice. but we think she is rather
inclined to slur some of the passages as if she
was little uncertain about them. Taken as 9
whole the concert was musical feast and We
have to thank Mr.. Davenport for it and to ex'
press our regret that the receipts were not
more worthy of the occasion.

For the Press.

For the Press:
ME-. EDIToR,-During the last week in August
the committee on public buildings issued notice to
coal dealers inviting offers for $50 tons OF coal for such
public buildings as might be designated by said COM
mttee. This call did not specify any particular kind OF
COAL but simply the best kind Of Anthracite. Quite
number OF resident dealers of that article respond.
ed, giving figures as they in their Judgment though
best. Among them the writer of these lines wen
to some expense to confer with headquarters, and
arranged for having the latest prices and state Of
the market, Friday evening Sept. 3. These arrived
the morning of the 4th on which day the bids were
to be opened. An sxamin alton Of the tenders in
connection with the notice as promulgated by the
committee showed at once who was entitled to the
contract; but II seemed those charge Of this bust
ness were partial to Lehigh coal and had their
minds fully settled that coal, although not ex-
pressed, intimated or the slightest guidance re-
quest for Lehigh In their paper, not word men
toned In relation to the same. The result was that
the lowest bid and the one strictly entitled to the
contract, according to the tenor of the committees
desires as expressed by their "learned" chairman,
was quietly laid aside, and the contract awarded at
much higher figure for Lehigh. If the case rested
hero with some little mental reservation, might
say. well enough; but ehangs takes place, and a
large proportion OF the coal selected, accepted and
taken by the worthy city fathers proved to be iden-
tical In character-in fact like as two peas, both
being Schuylkill Philadelphia COAL and both from
the mammouth vein, this quantity referred to TAX
en- at higher figures than those rendered. Now this
mode of procedure may DO In strict accordance with
correct economy which we all hope and trust is still
practiced by the city government, and may be all
right. Repetition of such occurrences would GER
t,inly create some little life about town among tax
payers and those seeking to supply the citys neces
stiles by charges and prices before dreamed Of.
Your own valuable columns would fairly overflow
with communications OF this nature, penned by
those who, in good faith give in their bids with the
expectation that the lowest gets it-as did your
respondent, and-didn't. up.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ARBITRATION.
The Times in an editorial on the relations of
England and the United States says the pro-

Pugets Sound question show that American s
and Englishmen can keep sufficiently above the
mists of national prejudices and apply common
principles of equity to the settlement of inter-
national disputes. The work was a trying one
for the arbitrator and any decision would
have been satisfactory, the actual one is not
unsatisfactory: the most agreeable feature of
this negotiation is the judicial temper display
ed by the gentlemen conducting the inquiry
The San Juan and the Alabama difficulties
are the only questions now lett outstanding
These, if ever brought to arbitration at the
