Portland's Soldiers, Monument

The suggestion made by Mayor Senter at
the Veterans campfire Thursday night in
regard to a Soldiers monument was peril
nent to the occasion and deserves the con-
slderatlon OF our wealthy and liberal citizens.
fortland has been singularly remss in this
respect. No memorial of her children who
gave up their lives in the defense of the
Union is to be seen within her limits. MANY
towns in New England of meaner resources
and smaller pretentions put her to shame,
and decorously pride themselves upon the
substantial tributes, in stone or bronze, they
nave offered to the shades Of their dead SOL
diery. Portland is almost alone among our
cities in refusing this fitting and gracious
recognition of the memory of the men who
made the heroic age of American history.
She has many structures, the result of pub
lie effort or private enterprise, of which she
isJustly proud. These would not be, had it
not been for the men who fought the battles
OF the Union and brought us the peace and
security and prosperity that afford opportun-
ity 10 industry and the increase and preser-
by the men whom she sent into the field.
She has been just. She ought now to be
generous. She ought in some of her public
places to erect memorial shaft to those of
her sons who gave their lives to the country
upon whose prosperity her prosperity de-
pends.
The suggestion of Mayor Senter is not a
new one-unless we accept the definition
conveyed by the cynical French proverb.
Nothing is new but what is forgotten"
The construction of a soldiers and sailors
monument was urged in the years immedi-
ately following the war. The Grand Army
Post here at one time led the movement.
Later on the Army and Navy Union took up
the project and thought of holding fair in
aid of it. But nothing came of these com
mendable schemes, and our people ceased to
consider the attempt. Apparently they
have forgotten it. The Mayors reminder
ought to revive it. Portland should offer
some public and enduring testimonial to
her patriot dead-and the testimonial should
not be perfunctory. We want no appropria-
tions from the city treasury, no contribu-
tions gathered by the tax collector. Our
offering should be as free as that of the
men who became our shield in the perilous
days of the Rebellion. We cannot equal
them; for no great occasion like that is af-
forded us. But we may give our wealth as
freely as they did their blood.

"A SINGULAR story" says the Boston
Courier, is told in connection with Mr..
Howells's DIR. Breen's Practice now being
published serially, in The Atlantic. 1t
seems that lady of this city contributed to
the magazine, after 'Dr. Breen's Practice
was in type, short story that so much re,
sembled that of Mr.. Howells that he felt ii
necessary to call upon the lady and explain
the situation of affairs-in order that no
charge of plagiarism might be preferred
against him. He showed her the proof
sheets OF his story, and perfectly satisfied
her that the similarity between her work
and his was one of those strange coinciden-
ces which have from time to time occurred
in the literary world.

National Bank Bills in Paris.
Norwich Bulletin. !

.
A Norwichian recently sojourning in Paris
approached the clerk of the hotel at which he
was stopping more in humorous than q
serious spirit and inquired, as he was leaving,
if he could settle his bill in American curren-
CT, saying that he had drafts on the Bank of
England, but to pay in United States paper
was more convenient for him. He was more
than surprised when he received in reply:
American paper money is just as acceptable"
He paid the national bank bills for his keep
ing, and yet many citizens pretend to believe
that the national banking system is not a good
one. The bills of State bank were never
good so far away from home as thatl

Now that cotton manufacturing is as
suming some Importance in South Carolina
the papers there are discussing the tariff
question from home standpoint. The
Anderson Intelligencer (dem.) says: "All
over the South factories are springing up,
which, if successful, will dispense the bene-
fits of large incomes in our midst. The
profits from this source have built up and
made the North powerful in wealth. Their
factories have been protected until now they
are safe for the future. With us these in
stitutions are in their infancy. They need
tender care, and it is the dictate of states
manship for the South to insist that tffe
same advantages be given to our mills that
have been extended to erect the colossal es-
tablishments of the North. If encouraged
and fostered here they will do more for us
than they have for the North"

 Complete for To-Day's Race-A Sharp Struggle Expected.
 NEW LONDON, June 3O.-The great college race between Yale and Harvard which will be rowed at p. m. tomorrow, weather and water permitting, is the all absorbing topic at the hotels and on the streets tonight. The afternoon and evening trains brought in some three hundred strangers, and the pros poets of large attendance tomorrow are very encouraging. The arrangements by the citizens committee which have just been perfected are substantially the same as here tofore. The steamer Manhaset will be placed at the disposal of the press fraternity. Re- served seats for the moving grand stand have been rapidly sold, and the indications are that the entire number, l, ,15O, will be dis posed of before tomorrow. Excursion trains will be run on all the roads and will arrive in ample time for spectators to witness the race. Some thirty-five yachts and the United States training ship Saratoga decorated with bunt- ing will be anchored near the finish to-mor- row. Both crews took short spin over the course this evening, and did some excellent work. The men are all well and in good condition. Betting on the result the past few days has been quite brisk. The Yalen- sians offer slight odds on their men and ex- perience very little difficulty in getting talk CTS. A rumor was in circulation this after noon that Folsom of Yale was seriously ill., but investigation shows the story to be false It is the universal opinion that the race will be the most exciting and hotly contested one ever rowed on the Thames If rough wealth CT occasions postponement, the race will be rowed at II a. m.
