The Boston Herald wants to know the
eau eS of the alienation between Maine
and Massachusetts. A long summers
day would not suffice to tell them all, &,
But here is one: The treatment OF Maine
men and Maine troops by Massachusetts
iu the war Of 1872. Two Instances we
will mention. william Widgery, the
Maine representative who sustained
the declaration Of war, barely
escaped with his lie from a
Newburyport mob on his way home from
the capital. Maine soldiers Jared scarce
ly better. The company recru ted in
York County TOR the Third United
States Artillery was hooted in every
town in Massachusetts through which
it passed on it's way to the Lakes, and
on the snop doors olmany OF the village 8
was scrawled this legend in chalk
"DoWn with the war-haWks." On their
return home our soldiers received quite
shabby treatment. With true Yankt Q
thrift the men OF Massachusetts cnarge d
tn m exorbltant prices for so sligut
things as d glass of milk or morsel oi
bread. Their homeWard march through
Massachusetts might be depicted in
Paulding!s lines:
''Saved this good land and when the tug was
o'er
Begged their way home at every scoundroIs S
DOOR"
The truth is Massachusetts, was dis
loyal to the very heart in that war. Sue
meditated treason but wanted the cour-
age to achieve it. Naturally she desires
that this shameful part OF her history
shall be forgotten. Apparently the
Herald never learned it. But the mcm.
ory Of insult and abuse has not yet died
out OF the minis Oh Maine peopte.-[ [Port-

The Supreme Court Bill.

EDITOR HERALD: Having no.
ticed an article in your paper Of
March 9th, in relation to the pass
age of the bill known as the Su-
preme Court bill, which gives to
Los Angeles two terms of the Su.
preme Court In one year, in which
you assume that the credit of its
passage belongs principally to Hon.
+. d. Mott and myself, I desire to
say that such an impression is en-
tirely wrong. My colleagues are
entitled to as much credit for the
passage of that bill as myself. We
all did everything in our power in
that matter, for the reason that we
had grave fears ofgetting it through
at all.
My motive in writing is to have
justice done to my friends, Colonel
smith and Judge Holloway. 1 feel
that / should commit grave
wrong if allowed such an impress
sion to go out to our constituents.
l do not desire praise or credit at
the expense OF my friends, who are
equally deserving of credit, If
credit be due to us, for what we
have done, by chance or good luck,
to advance the interests of South.
ern California.
Yours very truly,
ASA ELLIS.

Credit to Whom Credit is Due.

EDITOR HERALD: In your issue
of March 9th, in an articlej
headed IA Great Local Vic-l
tory" you give all the credit of
passing the bill giving Los Angeles
two sessions of the Supreme Court
year to Hon. Asa Ellis and Hon.
t. d. Mott, while, in fact, J. b.
Holloway, one of the Los Angeles
representatives, did more than all
others combined to effect that re.
suit The first bill introduced by !
Mr.. Ellis was submitted to the Ju.
dietary Committee and found such
strong opposition from that body
that the whole question was sub
mitted to subcommittee of three
of the Judiciary Committee, and
Mr.. Holloway was Chairman and
they reported the bill which has
finally become q law. The whole
opposition to the bill was in Com
mittee, and when finally reported
by them had no difficulty In pass.
Ing the House. 1 hardly think, Mr..
Editor, that you would do an in
justice to Mr.. Holloway, but the
readers of your article would infer
that the whole credit of passing
that law was due to Messrs. Ellis |
and Mott. While l would not de.
tract from their credit in the mat.
ter, at the same time feel that JUS
tice should be done to one who used
his best endeavors, and was in a
position-a member of the Ju.
dietary Com mittee-to do the most
good. AS your paper has large
circulation In the county, many
who read it might infer from the
article hat all credit was due the
gentlems you name and none to
Representative Holloway. AS 1
am satisfied you are willing to be-
stow credit where it is due, pre-
sume to write an explanation.
Respectfully,

suggest to our San Diego friends

Commissioner provides as follows 1.-THE
office of Canal Commissioner is abolished
from and after the appointment and quail
iication of the Superintendent of Public
Works, until which time the Canal Com
missioners shall continue to discharge their
duties as now provided by law" As no
Superintendent Of Public Works has been
appointed and qualified. it is clear that the
Canal Commissioners continue in Office just
the same rs they would have done If no
such constitutional amendment had been
adopted.
A Canal Commissioner holds his Office for
three years. At the close of his term he is
no more q Canal Commissioner than he
would be if he had never been elected to
the office. whenever, from any cause, the
office of Canal Commissioner shall become
or be vacant" says the law, 'at or during
period when the Legislature shall be in
session, it shall be and is hereby made the
duty of the Legislature to appoint some
proper person to fill such vacancy in the
same manner as is now prescribed by law
for filling vacancies in the Office of Regent Of
the University" The Canal Commissioner
so appointed holds Office until the COM

Custom House Mana cement {.

Collector Arthurs official reply to the
report Of the commission appointed to ex-
anime into the New York Custom House
was made on the suggestion and at the re-
quest Of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The report made by the committee, which
certainly was not friendly to Collector
Arthur, failed to establish any maladminis-
tration of the Office under his regime, and
was compelled to recognize the fact that his
management had been highly satisfactory to
the commercial community. Nevertheless,
it did assail some features Of the old
policy, and Collector Arthur, in his
clear and concise statement, proves
that all the reforms suggested and all
the evils denounced had been long
since proposed and exposed by him. He
says that the essential elements of correct
civil service, as he understands them, are
first permanence in Office, which prevents
removals except for cause second. promo
ton from the lower to the higher grades,
based upon good conduct aad efficiency
third. prompt and thorough investigation
of all complaints and prompt punishment
Of all misconduct. He claims that his
administration of the Office of Collector has
been characterized by the observance of all
of these and the testimony of all who are
familiar with Collector Arthur's manage
ment of the New York Custom House is that
be advocated this sort of civil service reform
long before it became professed principle
of the national administration.
