Mr. Dorman b. Eaton is an industrious and
incorruptible worker for municipal reform.
Still. people who have witnessed the collapse
of Citizens Associations and Committees OF
Seventy. will not be too enthusiastic over Mr..
Eatons new Municipal Society. But It's member
ship is most respectable its aims are of the first
importance, and it seems better guarded from
possible abuses than its predecessors. The
members are forbidden to become candidates
for Office. 1t is shut out from either sec
tartan or partisan schemes, and tho objects
il aims at are the reduction of taxes and OF
the city debt, more efficient city administra-
ton, and better system Of municipal
government Mr.. Eatons address well
states the true remedy for many OF
our present ills "Mlnicipal administra-
"tion," he says, SIS rather mass Of business
"to be done on business principles, than of pol
"itics to be managed by party leaders" The
difficulty with non-partisan organizations like
this in the past has been that they
were either composed of, or at any
rate managed, almost exclusively by
the members of one party. The present
Society makes an effort to avoid this fault, but
still its list of members is singularly sug-
gestive of a roll-call OF the Union League Club

The ministers and other jealous Christians who
denounce the proposal to exclude the Bible ro the
common schools as AN infamous demand o me
Romish hierarchy misinformed. The Catho-
lies object to the common schools not because the
Bible is read in them, but because the schools are
'irreligiousr Their principle is that secular ana
denominaticnal education ought to go together ana
when we have succeeded in shutting every KIND OF
religious instruction out of the schools they VIII
hate them worse than ever. The motion to banish
tho Bible comes from sincere Protestants who nope
thereby to remove the Catholics chief cause OF COM
plant. Whether it may be advisable or not on other
grounds we do not now inquire but manifestly 1t
would not have the particular effect which Its advo-
Gates seem to anticipate. In dealing with tins sub
iec it is important for to understand that unsec-
tartan education is precisely what Catholics most
strongly denounco.

The Mayor and the Police Commissioners, 1t
is said, profess equal ignorance about any i'm
pending changes in the p lice Board. PrOba-
bly, both sides know more than they want to
tell. The Mayor was ready to remove MesSrs
Matsell and Disbecker before the elections. If
no has not done 1t since, the people have a
right to demand the reason why. If he has
done il, the Governor cannot much longer de-
lay acton in the matter. The Police Board Is
VIGOROUSLY worthless. The Mayor, months ago.
recognized the fact and proposed to act upon
it. We incline to think that he has done so;
and that, if we are much longer deprived Of
decent Police Commissioners, We must look to
Albany rather than the City Hall for the rea-
son and the relief.

In the French Assembly the Republicans are
manfully opposing the Government Press bill.
The contest began with an able report pre-
sented 10y tho venerable M. Gr6yy. wherein it
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-12-29

was recommended that the bill be abandoned
md the state of siege no raised. The Govern
ment, however, insisted upon the Assembly
considering both measures together, and
was sustained by vote of 376 TO BOB.
Undismayed by this reverse, the Repub-
licans have contended steadily for free
dom of the press, and have succeeded in
dcpriving the projects of the power to forbid
summarily the sale of any journal in the
streets The worst feature of the bill is that
it sends alleged press Of1enses to the police
magistrates for trial, thereby dispensing with
iuries 1t is to be hoped that this attempt to
deny journalists privilege accorded to the
lowest criminals will not succeed.

AN OLD TINS HUMBoLprER.-C. B.
Simmons, Familiarity known in early
days as Charley, passed here yesterday
on the way to California with his
family. Mr.. Simmons resided in Star
City in early days. when everybody who
owned feet" were prospective mill
ionaires, and remained at Star until
the place was comparatively deserted.
In 1865 he went to Montana, where he
lived until three years ago, when he re-
moved to Illinois, where he has since
resided. He is going to California for
the benefit OF his health, where his
brother. A. j.. who figured conspicu-
ously in Indian affairs in Montana
some years since. is stopping at present.
He looks much thinner than in old
times at Star.

Business Notes.

The Maine Central has done more freight
business in flour and grain during the past
two months than in the ten preceding months.
The new arrangement by which through
freight from the West. via the Grand Trunk,
does not break bulk at Danyille junction, is
fully appreciated by shippers.
The iron foundry at Pennington Falls is in
full operation.
The success of the No. 1 iron now being
made at the Kathadin Iron Works is fully
proved by its use in the hanis of our home
consumers. Recent trials by Messrs. Wood
Bishop & Co., and the Bangor Foundry and
Machine Co. for stove work and hollow ware,
prove it to be fully equal, if not superior, to
the best imported Scotch Iron for this pur-
pose.
A despatch says that it appears by the sec
ond annual report of the secretary OF the Maine
Porgy Oil Association that the business has
been unusually prosperous the past season,
621, 1851 barrels of fish having been taken at the
works, an increase of nearly 100000 barrels
over last year. Ten thousand four hundred
barrels have been sold for bait. In addition
nearly two millions gallons of oil have been
made apd 49, 900 tons of guano. This associa-
tion embraces fourteen large establishments
with an aggregate capital of $7O6,500, employ
ing thirty vessels, hauling two steamers
and S65 men. Luther Maddocks of the Attain
tic Oil Works, Boothbay, is secretary of this
association.
Titcomb & Thompson at Kennebunk, are
putting up the frame for ship of 1900 tons.
Capt Nathaniel Thompson has laid the keels
for ship of 1900 tons and schooner of 200.
Crawford & Perkins are at work on barque OF
1000 tons. Mr.. David Clark will commence
operations in his yard in a few days.

ARMY AND NAVY CoNCERT.-The conclud-
ing entertainment of the seventh Army and
Navy Union annual course last evening was
splendid success in every particular, and IL is
safe to say that more appreciative and petter
satisfied audience has not assembled in Port
land during the season.
TIE "star of the evening" was Miss Nickels.
whose first appearance in our city has won Tor
her golden opinions and most enthusiastic en-
comiums of praise, and whenever she comes
again full house is sure to await her. she
rendered the "Aria with variations" in charm
ing style, and the rapturous encore brought
forth the familiar yet ever fresh "Last Rose OF
Summer" which was sung with exquisite ex-
preston.
The duet by Mrs Barry and Mr.. Arnold was
very pretty bit of acting. Mr.. Harry Gates
has fine clear, flexible voice, as was eVinced
in all his rendtions. "TEe Shadows Deepen,
THE Maid of Athens and the encore, Let
me like a Soldier Fall, he gave in admirable
style.
AS Miss Chandler could not keep her engage
ment, Mr. Joseph Heine, the blind violinist,
accompanied by his wife, took her place. His
"Polonaise in G minor elected an emphatic
encore, which gave him an opportunity to rem
der the Carnival of Venice with original va
riations-a finished performance. Mr. Heine
is master of the violin, and such music as he
eliminates is rarely heard from that instru-
ment.
The recitatve and aria by Mrs. Barry, and
''The Soldiers Tear by the same, were beau
tifuily sung and warmly applauded, and on be-
ing called out again she gave the pretty bal
lard, ''The Robin sung her sweetest song" in
very pleasing manner.
Mr.. Arnold's eloquent rendition OF "The
Muleteers' was SO satisfactory to the audience
that he was constrained to re-appear, and sang
magnficently, "Let all Obey from the En-
chantress. .u-.
The concluding quartette, ''Good Night" by
Miss Nickels, Mrs. Barry, Mr.. Arnold and
Mr.. Gates fittingly closed the delightful en-
tertainment Mr.. Kotzschmar, as accompan-
ist, fully sustained his high reputation.
The management are to be heartily congrat-
ulated upon this brilliant and eminently sue
cessful close of their popular annual course of
entertainments.

The YEARS WORK AT THE STATE PRISON.
The Rockand Free Press says: "The last busi-
ness year of the Maine State Prison has una
voidably been less successful than previous
ones, owing to the serious Interruptions which
have occurred. In December of last year the
carriage factory and paint shop were con-
sumed involving heavy loss, and subjectirg
the employment of the prisoners thereafter TO
great disadvantage. In the winter came the
special investigation ordered by the Legisla-
ture, embarrassing work two or three weeks;
and during the summer the erection of new
building to replace the one destroyed by fire
has of course been another great det-
riment to profitable pursuit of the
usual employments. With all these dis
advantages aside from the depressed condition
of business in the outside world, the prison will
fall short of peying its way by only about
twenty-six or twenty-eight hundred dollars.
This under the circumstances ought to be ac-
counted satisfactory exhibit. With the ac-
comodations furnished by the large and sub
stantial brick building erected inside the prls-
on Enclosure the past summer, the works car
ried on can probably be prosecuted to better ad-
vantage than formerly and should the number
of inmates continue as large as heretofore, 1t
may be safely assumed that the institution
will be self-supporting again"
