Kittery Navy Yard.

Elsewhere we eprint from the Biddeford
Journal an article protesting against the
abolition of the Klttery Navy Yard.
The plea made by the Journal is in
genious, and as good an argument as can be
advanced for the retention of the yard. We
cannot, however, agree with the conclusions
reached. There is no work for the
yard, and the sooner it is abol-
ished the better for the politics of west
ern Maine in general and the politics of
York County in particular. The yard for
years has been vote factory. 1t was so
used while the Democrats were in power {,
1t has been so used since the Republicans
came to power-or at least since the close of
the war. A change of administration makes
a difference of five hundred votes and more
In Kittery and vicinity. 1t made that differ
ence in 1851. 1t will make that difference
in 1885 shonld the Democrats succeed in
cheating the next President. Hundreds of
men in Kittery, Eliot, York, Wells, and on
the New Hampshire side of the river have
learned to look to the yard for little work
and great pay, and the consideration they
offer is the ballot They are voting the Re-
publican ticket just now. They will as
readily vote the Democratic ticket when
Democratic Administration comes in. They
live upon the United States Treasury and do
little or nothing to earn their substantial
wages-for there is really no work of conse-
quence to do.
No doubt work can be done as cheaply at
Kittery as elsewhere; but the work is not
to be had. There is really scarcely more
than enough for one yard 1t would be
better for the purity of Maine politics to take
our few vessels elsewhere. We sare willing
TO lose the slight benefit if the great curse
be removed. Other States where yards are
must look out for themselves. The friends
of civil service reform cannot do better than
put their finger on Kittery Navy Yard and
rub 1t out.

ALMOST simultaneous with the passage of
the Prussian Church bill by large MAORI
ty through the lower branch of the Landtag
comes the official announcement CT defni-
tive and mutually satisfactory arrangement
OF the long-standing difficulties between the
Russian government and the Vatican. This
marks the successful termination of pro-
tracted negotiations, and will be followed by
The re establishment of the Catholic hierar-
chy in Poland. The Pope is now free to
turn his attention to France, and his recent
letter to NJ. Grevy is an indication of his
purpose TO combat the atheistical violence
OF such men as Ferry, Challemel-Lacour and
Paul Bert,Iwhose course of petty persecu-
ton has hitherto been unopposed.

IT has been shown with convincing clear
ness in the course of that extraordinary
trial which has been going on in Hungary
that the revolving charges brought against
the members of certain Hebrew synagogue
in that country had no better foundation
than ignorant superstition and bigoted pref
udice. 1t is strange indeed at this late day
that SO monstrons a story as that presented
should have gained any credence or have
been thought worthy of judicial notice.
One would have supposed that those silly
old ISLANDERS about the sacrifcial rites of
Hebrew worship and the alleged use of
Christian blood in connection with its cers-
monies, which were so freely circulated dur
ing the dark ages, and which were made the
excuse for so much cruel persecution, had
been completely discredited in these DAYS
OF enlightenment and advanced civilization,
but it seems not, or this Hungarian prose-
cution would never have been entered upon.
There can be no question that the evidence
to support the Indictment in this case was
made to order out of the whole cloth, and
that the Indictment has no basis of fact to
support it.

THE programme for the Concord School
Of Philosophy is out, and it is pleasing to
notice that ''Man's Immortality in the Light
OF Philosophy and Religion" will receive
some attention during the coming summer,
while that the "Ground of Certainty is
Deeper than Skepticism or Agnosticism''
will be clearly shown, and some very nice
points will be made in the distinction of
Reality and Potentially from True Actu-
atty" "Self-existent Energy" will still be
found to ''Underlie All Change and the
"Relation of the Infinitely Absolute to the
Negation of Philosophy" will be discussed
with fullness heretofore unknown. No
doubt there will be delightfully."- cheerful

THE experience of the men who turned
States evidence in the late trials in Dublin
has probably satisfied them that the Inform
er'silot is not happy one. They have bsen
avoided by all their former friends and asso-
ciates; nobody will buy from them, nebeaV-
will sell to theisaiI0t so1itwil giseth them
anything, and as they pass along the street
they hear themselves cursed at every corner.
In addition, the English Government,
which profited by their information, has less
use for them than even their Irish country
men, and has notified them that they must
leave Ireland; that under no circumstances
will they be permitted to remain So they
will wander forth to realize that the way of
the traitor is as hard as that of any other
transgressor, even if the traitor be paid for
his treachery.

Henry George was examined today BY the
Senate subcommittee on labor and educa-
ton. in answer to the question whether he
could present facts to the committee on the
subject of labor. George replied that the
facts had better be obtained from working
men themselves. There was one general
fact, however, that feeling of extreme dis
satisfaction existed among the laborinv
classes. their condition is not improved with
the increased prosperity of the country
There is in his opini on no direct conflict be-
tween labor and capital, but between labor
and monopolies. Wages in each employ
ment Is governed by certain circumstances,
but they must all depend on wages obtained
in the most productive industry in the coun-
try, and here this industry is agriculture.

COW boys, Dick Turner, was fatally shot and
two horses killed. Sunday night Sheriff
Thrail of Wellington came over with posse
and arrested ten rioters. The town is now
quiet, the authorities being in supremacy

1t was delicate little thing anyhow, pale,
puny, and poorly nourished They had given
