mr.. Pike am Original supporter Of III
Tonnage Tax.

Tonnage Tax.
The following paragraph is going the
rounds of the press,-or that portion of it that
supports Mr.. Pike in the crusade he has be-
gun against the shipping interest:
Capt. G. 81. Barrett, of Camden, writes on
board his ship Windwarl at Shanghai, to the
New York Journal Of Commerce as follows,
concerning the reports which had reached
him in China in the middle ct January: "The
measures proposed by the committee who
leve all ship materials from duty, and allow
ing our people to buy ships from abroad and
come under the full benefits OF the flag, free
duty, will do much to help us gain our lost
ground upon the sea- but there are other
things that ought to be done, which also will
help along. There is tonnage duty, yes a
tonnage duty levied on our own ships, and
that during the war, when they were doing
comparatively nothing, and seeking refuge in
every dark corner OF the globe, from priva-
teers, from whom the nation was powerless
to protect them. 1 don't know whether to
call this madness or folly; it looks very much
ike the spite that kicks man when he is
down; certainly 1t was grossly inconsistent
measure. This tonnage duty should be abol-
ished as hastily as it was levied"
Mr.. Pixies feelings are also outraged by
this tax, and his hostility goes so far that his
rage is rather aggravated than otherwise
when the special committee on navigation
interests is compelled to retain the tao for
the purpose of securing the passage Of a bill
that gices shipbuilders and shipowners fus
times as much in return.
- Now let us see what his record Is. On the
first of March 1855, the tariff bill being under
consideration, the section imposing tax Of
30 cents a ton on vessels came up. To this
Mr.. Pike, being present, participating in the
debate and proposing amendments, made not
a soord of objection. Any one who will take
the trouble to examine the Globe will see
that he voted for it.
1t is of no use for Mr.. Pike to excuse him
self on the ground that it was then time OF
war, and that the tax was necessary. He
nov objects to the principle of the tax, be-
cause it is not graduated to the value Of the
property on which it is imposed. Capt. Bar
rett and all persons in sympathy with him
should direct their complaints to the gentle
man who is one of the originators of the tax
when no compensatory advantages were Of
fered, and who now opposes himself to the
generous measures of relief proposed by the
Congressional Committee.
Meanwhile we submit to all intelligent
readers if Mr.. Pike by the course he has taken
has not shown himself one of the most insn-
cere and unprincipled public men within the
limits of the State.

Rcc0llecfions of n March Snow Storm
FiftyThree Years Ago.

Mr.. EDIToR,-While snow bound" in my
country home on the second day of drifting
snow storm, with no sound from without but
the driving wind, and an occasional scream of
distant locomotive which sounds as if it was
calling on some of its kind for assistance 1
am reminded of a similar storm fifty-three
years ago, to-day, viz, March II, 1917. Like
tinued through the 18th, but unlike the pres
ent it was very cold after morning, and blow
ing two days. On the 18th it ceased showing
and the sun shone out, but still the violent
wind filled the air with snow and was the most
uncomfortable day of the three. l have a Wv
id recollection of it although but eight years
old from sad case of suffering and death in
Raymond.
A Mr.. Tarbox, a worthy man but poor, with
large family of children lived on Raymond
Cape, narrow neck oil land running several
miles into Lake Sebaeo. To procure provis-
ions OF which he was in need, he started on
the 18th to 60 to Raymond village, think
about two miles distant. He got his supplies
which he took on his shoulder in bag, and
left for home sometime in the afternoon. He
labored hard to reach home before dark, but
little after sunset be became exhausted and
chilled and sunk down with his load within
bail of his house, his wife was anxiously
watching for him and heard him calling tor
help. She went to his assistance thinly clad,
but finding him so chilled and helpless she put
her own miutens on his bare hands, and start
ed for neighbours house half mile distant.
The morning OF the 10Th was calm and clear
This neighbor heard the blowing of a horn re-
peatediy, at Tarbox's, and knowing that as
sistauce was needed went there Immediately.
and on the way found Mrs. Tarbox dead and a

both stiflened corpses nearly covered with
snow. On going to the house, he found that
the children, the Oldest not over ten, had
spent the night alone with nothing to eat but
pudding made OF Indian meal and water. A
sad realization Of Thompson's lines in his de-
scription OF winter:
And down he sinks
Beneath the shelter of the sbapeless drift,
thinking Ger all the bitterness of death.
Mixed with the tender anguish nature shoots
through the wru0g bosom OF tue dying man.

AMONG the many hair preparations in the
market, it is no easy matter to decide which
one of them is most desirable for use HALLS
VEGETABLE SIcILIAN HAIR REVIEWER has
been before the public about nine years, its
virtues tested and certified to by many leading
and influential physicians of New England,
among whom we may name Walter Burnham,
M. D., Of Lowell, Mass, formerly Professor of
Surgery in the Worcester Medical Institution,
and in Penn University OF Philadelphia, who
says, Il have used it for restoring the hair,
where inveterate eruptions had resisted vari-
Gus kinds of treatment, and found that not on
ly was the hair beautifully restored to its orig
inal beauty, but also the disease of the scalp
completely cured;" also Geo. Gray, M. D., OF
Nashua, N. H., the leading physician of the
place where this REVIEWER is manufactured,
speaks OF the preparation in this way; Il have
seen its effects in very many cases. 1t will
certainly restore the hair to its original color,
it cleans the head of dandruff and leaves the
hair soft, glossy and beautiful. do not think
its use in any way injurious, but on the con-
trarv beneficial. can, therefore, cheerfully
recommend it to the public" A. A. Hayes.
M. D. State Assayer of Mass, having analysed
it, assures the public by certificate, that it is
the best preparation for the intended purposes
of the many he has examined.
With these assurances from such high
sources, surely those who desire perfected
and reliable hair restorer can do no better than

quite spirited. Mr.. Bonney was particularly
conspicuous in the debate. The amendment
was lost SO to Is. The bill then passed.
In the debate on the Agricultural College a
few days since we neglected to notice the
admirably concise remarks OF Mr.. Burgess of
your city. Other gentlemen used more rhet-
oric but none presented the case so clearly as
MIR. Burgess. He took the ground that it was
matter OF economy to make the appropria-
ton, and starting with that proposition bal
ancad the books like an experienced account
ant showing conclusively the strength OF lis
position. Mr.. Bonney to-day gave excellent
promise of an able debater and must stand
among the first of the able young men of the
present House.

EQUALIZATION OF THE WAR DEBT. - Mr..
Hume, on behalf of the joint special committee
in the report of the Commissioners on the
credits" &C., has completed a report on the
subject, which is soon to be submitted to the
House OF Representatives at Augusta.
After particularzing in a lengthy and elabo-
rate manner, specifying the cases of many diff
ferent towns, they conclude by saying cit
was in evidence that more than twenty-five
towns purchased paper men, for which they
paid about million of dollars. AS to naval
credits, it was shown to the committee that
towns bought what no man had the right to
sell, the fact being that these credits should
have been deducted from the quota of the
State; but instead of this, they were sold to
towns, and the State paid bounty of 5000
each. 1t was further shown us that the same
men that had once enlisted and been paid
State and town bounty, were transferred to
their regiments and sold for large sums of
money. 1t was also shown to your committee
that the sham substitute was indeed very pro-
fitable to individuals, but not to the United
States Government, nor to the State OF Name"
The report recommends that the State Trea-
surer be directed to pay all towns against
which charges are made for deficiency OF men
under the call of October, 1868, the amount
due of bonds awarded by commissioners on
for future adjustment.
The report further recommends that the Ad-
iutant General be directed, by an examination
of pay rolls, receipts, and all papers, to ascer-
tain if errors exist in said charges for def
cheney under said call, and if errors are found,
to certify the fact to the State Treasurer, who
shall pay over such assumption bonds It fur
ther provides that the Governor and Council
shall appoint commission of three persons of
ability, who shall be qualified by oath before
the Governor and Council, who shall examine
the remainder of the charges and make such
adjustment as equity aud justice shall require
and upon their certificate to the State Treasu-
rer that the same has been adjusted he shall
deliver the bonds to the proper authorities of
the various towns 1t further provides that the
commission be authorized to investigate in a
thorough manner all matters in relation to
credits allowed in the quotas of towns by the
State and General Government for men not
actually pat into the service, and to report
whether, in their opinion, towns should in any
part be compensated for sums expended for
such credits; and said Commission shall report
to the next Legislature, and that said Com
mission shall have the power to compel the
attendance of witnesses and the production of
papers. The report provides for the Governor
and Council to fix and audit the compensation
and expenses of said Commission.
