SWEDEN, Sept. 27.-Jodie Adams, who
was attending school at n. Bridgton, is at
home sick with typhoid fever.
Charles Packard hunted squirrels this
afternoon; after two or three hours alb
sence he returned with eight grey squirrels
hanging from his war-6clt.
Sweden IS discussing proposed new roads
quite extensively. Onc has been wanted
to reach Bridgton without crossing steep
hills: aud now the sclectmen are petitioned
to lay out road from the residence of c..

The Evening critic., 1882-02-02
Lying hx Headline.

The Star of last evening published So
called report of an examination of certain
witnesses in the case of Walsh VS.. Brady,
before U. S. Commissioner Bundy. The
mode of taking this testimony was by
port with the following words:
Refusing to testify in Star-route case"
Ittken mentions A. c. Buell. as one of the
persons described under that head. OF
course the inference would be that Mr..
Buell. refused to testify to facts within his
knowledge. 1t is evident from the con-
textithatthe person who caused the quoted
headline to be published designed that such
inference should be drawn.
The facts am as follows: Mr.. Buell., in
obedience to q subpoena, attended upon
Judge Bundy at 2 p. m. Tuesday, and was
by that officer sworn. Mr.. L. G. Hine,
counsel for Walsh, then proceeded to ask
Mr.. Buell. certain questions. all of which
were answered by Mr.. Buell. promptly.
At certain stage of the examination
counsel for Brady objected, not to any par
ticular question asked, but to the form of
the examination itself. Mr.. Hine yielded
to the objection, and Mr.. Buell. was in
formed by Judge Bundy that he was ex-
cused from further attendance as q wit
ness.
In the course of the examination Mr..
Hine asked Mr.. Buell. whether he as a
matter of choice, would voluntarily give
his deposition in the case, and though the
question was wholly irrelevant Mr.. Buell.
answered il by saying that he would at any
time prefer being examined as a regular
witness in open court to making deposit
tion. But ne did not decline to answer
any. question propounded to him by Mr..
Hine.
The testimony is of record and can be
seen at any time if the editor of the Star
cares enough about the reputation of his
paper for accuracy to take that trouble
The matter is perhaps of very little pub
lie importance. But the Star, by its head
line, insinuates that Mr.. Buell. knows
something about "a Star-route Case
which he is unwilling to divulge.
This insinuation is rs false as the asser-
tion which conveysi it. The recorded testi-
mony shows that the assertion is false, be-
cause Mr.. Buell. answered every question
asked, him. The insinuation conveyed is
false, because Mr. Buell. knows nothing
about any Star-route matter which he has
not already published in one or both of two
largely circulated newspapers.
There is, then, no alternative but to pre-
sumo that the person who wrote, or caused
to be published, the headline describing
Mr.. Buell. as having Refused to Testify !"
did SO with malice.
Ignorance of the facts cannot be pleaded,
because there was the recorded testimony,
from which the Star reporter made an ex-
tract, and which, on its face, showed that
Mr.. Buell. did not "Refuse to Testify" but
did, on the contrary, answer every question
put to him until excused by the court un-
der an objection entirely outside of his vo-
lition.
1t is, therefore, impossible to consider the
person who wrote and published the asser-
tion that Mr.. Buell. Refused to Testify "
otherwise than as wilful and malicious
liar and libeler. Mr.. Buell. cannot believe
that the person referred to was Mr.. Crosby
Noyes, the editor of the Star.

Mr.. Blaine's Proposed Peace Con-
gress.

The publication of Mr. Blaine's letter in.
viting all the independent republics in the
western hemisphere to send delegates to a
peace congress to be held in this city, be-
ginning November %, 1882, has stirred up
some unpleasantness." Mr.. Blaine in-
tended that the letter should be given to
the Associated Press, and was greatly sur
prised when he read it in the New York
Herald yesterday. On Monday morning.
January 80, Mr. Blaine addressed note to
President Arthur requesting permission to
publish this letter, inasmuch as its purport
had been greatly misrepresented at home
and abroad"
The President sent verbal answer TO
the effect that he saw no impropriety in
making the letter public, but that he had
referred Mr.. Blaine's note to the SecretaI Y
of State, and that his chief clerk had in
formed him that Mr.. Frelinghuysen would
publish the letter when called for by Con-
gress.
Yesterday Mr.. Blaine sent note to Mr..
Window, chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, asking him to
introduce resolution calling for the CORE
spendence. When the New York papers
arrived, however, he found the document
had already been published Mr.. Blaine
Gays: THE dispatch was obtained sur
Teptitiously, from whom or by whom | do
not know. IL was no doubt haStened TO
partial publication in order to deprive it OF
the wider advantages of the Associated Press
which i was anxious to secure for it in
order that the misrepresentation concern
ing the invitation to the peace congress
might be definitely corrected.
The letter to which this refers is written
in Mr.. Blaine's usual style, and dwells pa r
ticularly upon the amiable relations VIII cl
the United States has always maintained
with the South American republics. He
says that the President has never refused
to give counsel when disputes have arisen
between these sister republics, aud he
thinks the time Is ripe for a proposal that
shall enlist the good will and active co
operation Of all tue States of the western
hemisphese in the interest Of humanity
and Tor the commercial veal Of nation s
Then comes the invitation 10 send dele
gates To peace congress as above stated.

Secretary of stato'to undo. the work of
former one, both within his Administra-
tion; but the President himself stands right
where he has always stood in the premises.
This is certainly remarkable Let us
take another look at it. Ths policy re-
mains. Nothing has been changed except the
"style of rhetoric" Secretary Blaine sent a
special envoy to make certain representa-
tions on behalf of the United States to the
Government Of Chill, with the knowledge
and consent of the President. Secretary
Frelinghuysen, also with the knowledge
and consent of the President, instructs the
envoy to cease making those representa-
tions 1t is of course difference of style
of rhetoric" and a tolcrably wide one.
But we desire it understood that the Pres
ident has not changed his policy. That
remains. ".Styles of rhetoric" may come
and styles of rhetoric" may go, but the
Presidents policy goes on forever.
