attention of the Press several times to
its neglect; 50 that it really appears to
be intentional, and we are afraid that it
is seriously contemplating the advisa-
bility of going back on Mr.. Malone, just
as Mr.. Garfield has determined to do on
the discovery that William is not the
controlling unit in the Senate and that
it won't be altogether safe to ruffle the
Democratic senators, who may control
the situation, by taking the Virginia trai-
tor to the administrative bosom. The
propensity Of the Press to follow the ad-
ministration and to look for fortune in
its smiles, strongly exhibited in the de-
sertion of Conkling, would be demon
strated to be of almighty strength if
Mr.. Malone also is abandoned. Its de.
vOtiOn to both was intense its GOODNESS
to Conkling is icy; its neglect of Ma

We can not agree with the orator at
Millersville last evening, who advised
the young woman, seized with inspira-

could stand the editorial waste-basket
on its head, he would emphatically say,

her to not keep the young man waiting
for his answer was good and no doubt
some of his fair readers took It. It SEEM

The High Sehocl Commoneonnsnt.
Tho commencement exercises of the
high school graduating class of nine took
place in the opera house last evening b.
fore large audience. The stage was &C.
cupied by the orator Of the evening, the
graduating class, school board, borough
superintendent Of schools, principal and
assistant Of the high school and repre-
sentative Of the clergy in the person of
Rev. John Mccoy, pastor Of the Presbyter-
ian church. Mr.. Mccoy opened the exer-
cises with prayer and . selection was then
rendered by Keffar's foil orchestra, which
had been engaged for the evening. W.B.
Given, ESQ.,, member Of the school board
made few we'll chosen remarks, in which
he recapitulated the workings ofthe board
during the last year, the manner in which
the money accruing to the school
district mad been expended to
the complete ehacement Of every
igamcnt Of debt aud its present prosper
ous condition the thorough efficiency Of
the teachers of tho schools and the
thorough practical drilling to which the
present class Of graduates had boon SUBJ
jected. He. then introduced Professor E.
Brooks, Ph. D., ~ the distinguished edu-
Gator who had consented to deliver an ad-
dress to the class. Prof. Brooks smoke for
an hour and a quarter. His suoech was
written and carefully prepared. He
traced the greatness of the great mon of
history from their mothers taking them
from their cradles a. children, describing
their homo influences and surroundings
and declaring that where man rose to
true and actual greatness, no matter from
what station in life. be il hiSh or

that Nero was the monster he was when

ism, as he terms it, in mothers to their
children, he strongly repudiated. He said
NO man had right to strike his child in
anger, and also condemned scOlding. On
the latter point he recited short anec-
dOte in which . child asked . scOlding
mother II God scOlded. He gave tho
clergy, the school board, the teachers and
the graduating class some good advice anil

Ames then delivered the diplomas to the
graduates, and it was during this pOr-
ti0n OF the exercises that the floral
presentations to the graduates, by their
friends in the audience, were made. Tho
bouquets had all previously been collected
and there was no confusion in depOsiting
them at the feet Of their recipients. Kef-
fer s orchestra played another selection

the stage with two hats-his own and
Prof. Brooks. The audience took the
hint, smiled and departed. The young

that it has "spoken to the ROSTERS in

Italian, and still they do not seem to un-

will exhaust the list of languages, liv-

that the Times did not give them every
opportunity to understand the indict-
ment against them" What the Times
needs to give them is an installment of
deaf, dumb and blind literature.

The Ne1 Era very properly inquiries
OF the county commissioners why they
do not require the contractor to build
a bridge in East Earl township, which
was let two years ago, and intimates
that it is because the favored and sue
cessful bidder has too much of a con-
tract on hand. This is no good reason
for letting up on him. Had lum-
berg gone down he would have made the
county pay for it all the same. Perhaps
II bidders had to furnish bail with their
bids, there would be less straw bidding
and dummy contracting in local affairs.

1t will never dO-this thing of elect
ing red-headed men to he speakers! 1t
is not Hewit's fault he can't help it !;
why should a man be abused because the
Lord has not given him the ability to
hold his tongue or control it? 1t is all
the same as berating the Deity to abuse
His creature for working according to
the laws of His creation. The real fault
was committed when Mr.. Hewitt was
unanimously selected for the speaker
ship by his Republican colleagues de-
spite the red thatch with which the
Lord had crowned him AS "a special
warning and advice of the temper
tempted within. Hewitt was made
speaker with full notice of his absolute
inability to do what the speakers Office
required of him.
The mistake was not made by his con-
stituents in electing him to the Legisla-
ture, for he was q man of fair repute
when he went there and his looseness of
tongue was not symptom of his inca
pacity for the Assembly. To talk is
something expected of a legislator, and
there is no reasonable objection to his
having bad temper, because a calm
speaker is supposed to be on hand to
control his ebullitiOns and the sergeant
alarms is on hand to take him out when
he don't behave himself. Red hair, as
the sign of an excitable disposition
therefore, is not one for the voter to take
notice Of but the legislator who fails
to he warned against selecting red
haired speaker, after the valuable testi-
mOny given to the virtue of the sign by
Speaker Hewitt, cannot defend himself
at all.
What an excellent thing it would be
If only men of suitable temperament and
qualification could be selected for official
positions, and what a benefaction il each
incapacitating quality was signi6ed by
some prominent physical characteristic
But, alas except this sign of unruly
temper, told by red hair, what have
We given us in mems appearance to
cell their virtues and their failines |?
Let US then value this sign and be guild
ed by it, and never again trust a red
headed man in place which calls for
one who can be calm and who can hold
his tongue.

The Veterans Reunion,

The City Council makes a grave mistake
in delaying to appropriate S2,5O0 for the ex-
penses of the soldiers reunion. The re-
union will be held here or at Maranocook:
and the decision as to the place must be
speedily given. There is good reason to be-
lieye that if the appropriation asked for is at
once granted the reunion of veterans will be
held in this city. The Maine Central rail-
road wisely offers considerable inducements
to the association if it will hold its meeting
on the shores of the Lake. and these induce
ments will be yielded to unless the sum,
barely sufficient to defray the expenses of
the reunion, is at once voted by the city.
The Council should be called together this
evening if practicable, and some action be
at once taken.
1t is quite unnecessary to point out the
advantages to Portland of the contemplated
meeting. 1t will bring to this city thou
sands of veterans, and, if the programme in
contemplation is carried out. will attract
many thousands of spectators The design
is to make the occasion the finest military
display ever seen in Maine; and, after the
fashion of the German warplay, the maneu-
vres of the battlefield will be repeated ON
the encampment grounds. The coming of
so many visitors will be source of consid-
cradle pecuniary profit to Portland, and the
receipts will far exceed the outlay. But
greater than business consideration is to
betaken into account by the city authori-
ties. Some of the most distinguished
officers of the old volunteer army.
and the commander-in-chief of the
land naval forces are to be present.
Their presence will attract many veteran
associations from other States. These dis
tinguished guests deserve cordial recep-
ton by the people of Maine. A fitting well
come cannot be extended at Maranocook.
There our visitors would find themselves
scantily sheltered and perhaps shabbily en-
tertained. The proper place to receive them
is in the chief city of the State, and Port
land ought to be eager in its proffer of hos
pitality, and glad of the opportunity to ex-
ercise it.
We trust the City Council will act prompt
ly in the matter. Onr citizens will certain
ly condemn any unnecessary delay on its
part,

we should not instantly find our fleets

ritory, which we do not desire to weaken.

be most exhausting friction.
