Business VS.. Sentiment.

While family from some one of the back
counties of Ontario were in Windsor yesterday
on their way to this side, citizen of that town
who was never known to smile on the out, side,
looked over the wagon and the long-haired
ponies and beckoned the wife aside. Shs was
the driver of the team and it was easy to see
that she run the family.
"Going over to America, 1 suppose?" began
the citizen as she followed him to the walk.

You will have to set value on yonr husband
and pay duty OF ten per cent. on him."
'No?"
'.Fact The law went into effect yesterday.
How much do you value him at?"
"Well." replied the wife, after some hesita-
tion. "Jonn haln't of much account and that's
fact. Hes lazy, and be can't plan aud bar
gain and get along. il I've got to set a price

The lathy y-legged husband came down off the
wagon at her Call and she explained the case
to him and added:
'Now John, you know you wouldn's bring
six shillIngs If you were put ap at auction, aud
you can't expect me to put you in for any great
sum-
"Waal, Helep,' he slowly answered, "I

The woman seemed to turn the whole case
over in her mind and finally said:
"Johp, kinder like you in spite of all, and
the children all like you, but, when it comes
down to business and 10 per cent, that's an
other thing. I'll split the difference with

"Thsts plenty-moren 1 expected" he

The defeat of an English force in Zulu
land is the greatest calamity which has be.
fallen the British arms since the memorable
winter campaign in Afghanistan many years
ago. OF course the misfortune will soon be re-
trieved, and some thousands of natives Of
fered up in sacrifice to the names of the Brit
ish officers who fell. The temporary tri-
umph ofthe Zululanders will be followed by
terrible punishment. The English will do
as we have done SO often with the Indians
massacre them and call the massacre glo-
rious victory.
Zululand, where the British defeat has re-
Gently taken place, is on the east coast of
Africa, thousand miles from Cape Colony,
and lying between the British colony of Ma
tai and the Portuguese settlement at Della
goa Bay. The trouble between the Caffres
or inhabitants of zululand and the British
had its ostensible origin in alleged violations
of British territory. The Caffres pursued two
Of their women, accused of adultery, across
the boundary line and brought them back to
Zululand. That was their first offense. The
second offense consisted in the brief impris-
onment of two British subjects who in their
turn crossed the Zulu frontier. The British
authorities gladly and inconsistency made
these occurrences pretex!s for aggression.
Last November Sir Bartle Frere, the British
governor, demanded that the Zulu army
should be disbanded, the port Of st. Lucia
Bay ceded to the British, and British resi-
dent established at the Zulu capital. The
Caffre King, Cettywayo, refused to comply
with these outrageous terms and assembled
an army of 5000 men on his frontiers. The
British attacked him and were totally de-
feated.
Of course the men who are fighting for
their homes will be denounced as cruel bar
barians, and their government will be swept
away. That is the British way of dealing
with a weaker race. It is our way too, as
the history of our Indian wars testifies.

THE style of "reform" proposed by our
Legislature commands no more approval out
side of the State than in. The Boston Jour-
nal says:
The Democratic Greenback mem bers of the
pruning committee of the Maine Legislature
have given fresh illustration of their devotion
to economy. Three bids were made for the
State printing. The highest bid was made by
e f. Pillsbury & Oo., publishers of the Demo-
cratic paper A job printing concern made a
bid 13 35 per ceni. lower than Pillsbury's, and
the Kennebec Journal 16a per cent. lower.
Nevertheless the Dsmocratic-G -Greenback MEM
bers voted unanimously to make q contract
with the highest bidder. As the printing costs
about 1926, 600 year, the new light Reformers
propose to give a Democrat politician and
publisher about $4,000 more than the sum for
which the same work will be done by other
parties. In other words, they propose to pay
one-sixth more for the work than a perfectly
responsible party offers to do it for. If the
Democratic. .Greenback combination in the
House sustains the report of its committee, it
will vote to give one leading Democrat more
than it has saved by cutting down the salaries
of few clerks and watchmen about the State
House. This is the sort of reform that il
spelled with capital 'r". We await the next

THE New York correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican says Of Tilden 'I sup
pose he told the truth, and that Pelton and
Weed and Marble did not tell him of their
thought he was too high-minded to allow
them, but because they he knew was
too cautious and timid to permit such risky
and dangerous doings. 1t was not his con-
science, but bis caution and cowardice that
kept them away from him. They doubtless
hoped to secure the brilliant prize, and that
then he would be so pleased and grateful,
as to forget the moral obliquity of the steps
by which 1t was won." Forget it He would
never think of it.

not the effrontery to deny that the committee
did have some correspondence with Mr..
Ingersoll. As soon as they found that the
Moses of the lecture was not the mayor OF
Blddeford negotiations were broken off.

"BEAR in mind" says the National
Democrat "that E. F, Pllsbury & Co. have
offered and still offer to do the State Printing
for two years for what Sprague, Owen &
Nash have received from the treasury aboce
their contracts, If the State will collect it
back for that purpose" That is an easy
offer to make. But the question which in
terests the people of Maine is, who will do
the State printing cheaper this year.

for the possession of the fowl, the good man
replied: "sPon my soul, Massa, dunno

the law. He took up his legal studies after
leaving the United States Navy at the close

The Kennebec Journal says it is an un-
doubted tact that the disintegration of the
Democratic and Greenback parties in the
Legislature is going forward rapidly. The
Greenbackers, especially those with Republi-
can antecedents, have become tired of listen
ing to the polite invitations Of "the spider to
the fly" and are quite well convinced that the
only object the Democrats have had in view
in the amalsamation has been to help Demo-

Dramatic Critic of the Dsadwood (DAkosa)
Times: We would say, and it is the least and
the most that we can say, that Miss Fanny
Prices rendition Of the character of Camille,
Saturday night, was Indifferent. Her positions
are not good in her passion scenes; when she
should swell out like mountain, she sinks in
like gulch. That amt right in this country.
She ought to know the audience here is not the
fne-spun crowd that she would encounter back
east, and when she had worked their feelings
up to scalping hurrah, she ought not to give
up to her lover. She presented only fighting
front when her lovers back is turned. This
won't do for 9 frontier audience, and Miss
Price will probably thank Us for this sugges-
tion. We make it for her benefit. The charac.
ter of Camille is "way up" when the right con-
cepton of it is presented BY the actress. Clara
Morris would make a mule kick its driver, IL
the animal were allowed to look upon her; but
Fanny Price excites none of the human pss-
sions by her representations.
