Marshal should be longer continued in his
Office. Such action involves something
more than error of judgment; it is corrup-
tion of a fragrant character, which cannot
be too promptly or too emphatically re-
buked.
The sixth of the distinct charges enumer-
ated is that he changed 6 complaint after it
had been sworn to, something which he
clearly bad no right to do; and the seventh
accuses him of habitually assuming to de-
termine in cases of search and seizure I'M
der the liquor laws, whether the cases
should be prosecuted or not, and often fail
ing to bring cases to trial. The Mayor just
ly pronounces such practice dangerous, in
asmuch as it may be made cover for re-
ceiving brides for not prosecuting.
Of course these charges are not yet prov
ed, and the City Marshal is entitled to sus-
pension of judgment by the public until he
has had hearing. 1t was not the intention
of the Mayor, as we have already exp aimed,
that they should be be made public before
the Marshal had an opportunity TO pre-
sent his defence, to go out with them;
and the Mayor cannot be held responsible
for this e1-pGrte presentation of the matt r.
We have no disposition to PREJUDICE the case,
or to say more now than that it was the I'M
avoidabe duty of the Mayor, having infor-
nation of this nature which he believed to
be trustworthy, to take the action he has
taken. 1t would be malfeasauce on his
part to neglect to bring these matters to the
attention of the Aldermen.
The provision of law which prevents the
removal of City Marshal by the Mayor, ex-
cept with the concurrence of the Board of
Aldermen, is likely to receive some consid-
Grafton in connection with this affair. The
City Marshal is very Important officer un-
der any administration, and he ought to be
appointed by, and removable by, the Mayor.
He may be an officer clearly incompetent to
cooperate faithfully and harmoniously with
the Mayor and yet it may be difficult mat
ter to accuse him of such malfeasance or
neglect as would make his removal by the
Aldermen seem an act of justice. The di
vision of the responsibility for administering
the laws of the city and State between the
Mayor and the Marshal, as independent Of
ficers, is more likely to promote inefieiency
than efficiency.

The City Marshaps Case.

The charges which the Mayor has formu-
lated and will submit to the Board of Alder
men on Thursday evening are made pnblic
by the City Marshal, who was made acquaint-
ed with them in advance in order that it
might not be said that any snap judgment
was taken to his disadvantage at the hear
ing. II would have been entirely proper for
the Mayor to have laid them before the
Board of Aldermen, with the evidence by
which he expects to support them, before any
notice was given to the City Marshal, giving
him a hearing at subsequent date if he de-
sired to make a defence. But 1t was thought
best to inform the Marshal in advance of
what was contemplated, although it was
not intended to make the matter public un-
I'll The Mayors communication was presented
to the Aldermen. But the Marshal of course
exercised his own discretion with regard to
the matter which SO intimately concerned
himself. Accordingly the charges which are
to be submitted to the Aldermen tomorrow
evening will be found in another place in
this paper.
They are of a very serious character. The
statute defining the duty of the City Marshal
is cited and it is alleged that he has neglect
ed the duty which the city ordinances i'm
pose upon him. One of the specifications,
Is that he instructed the police force under
his charge about year ago that they we're
moi to allow the places where liquor is sold
in violation of law to be kept open after 10
o'clock at night, this being by implication a
notice that the police were not to interfere
with such violations of the law before thai
hour of the night, and notice to the viola
tors of the law that they would not be mo-
tested previous to that hour. 1t seems TO us
that there can be no question that this was
an unwarranted and culpable exercise of a
discretion not conferred, if the facts are as
alleged. 1t is difficult so imagine what de-
tense can be made OF such proceeding.
But neither this charge, nor the one aleg-
ing that be wi hdrew nineteen policemen
from their beats on recent occasion for in
sufficient cause, although either or both may
be considered good cause for his removal, is
30 grave as the charges following that he has
taken, in two cases, sum of money from
persons accused of crime as a consideration
for preventing the prosecution of their cases
to the end. If these charges are sustained
no honest man can maintain that the City

Last September at conference of the
Greenback party held in Auburn the follow
ing resolution was adopted:

Last September at conference of the
Greenback Party held in Auburn the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Having an abiding faith in our principles and
regarding both old parties our common political
foes. We can only take candidates from our own
political party, and declare are opposed to fusion
With either of the old political parties either open
or secret"
Tomorrow the Greenback party holds its
State Convention at Lewiston and the prin-
eipal question to be settled is whether it will
stick to this resolution or repudiate, in oher
words whether it will nominate Greenback
for Governor or adjourn until June II with
the understanding that it shall then ratify
the nomination made by the Democrats.
The fuglers of the party, such as ex-Gover-
nor Piaisted and Col. Elliot King, are in ia
vor of the latter course. There is a posi-
bility of their getting something ii they as
sist the Democrats, and to get something is
thu chief end of their political existence.
There is little doubt but the fuglers will win
80 far as the action of the convention is con-
eerned. But when they attempt to deliver
the party over to the Democracy they will
probably find that they have undertaken
bigger job than they can accomplish.

The attempt to repeal the law of 1920,
which fixes the term of most of the officers
of the civil service at four years, failed in
in the House by a vote of 80 in favor to 146
opposed. The repeal of the law is in the
line of civil service reform, and eventually it
will no doubt be accomplished. But with
Democratic majority in the House as large
as the present one and in the face of a
Presidential election in which the fighting
is to be chiefly over the offices it could hard
ly be expected that civil service reform
would make any progress. 1t does all that
can be expected if 1t hold its own under
such adverse circumstances.

The Bangor Commercial thinks the only
foundation on which the Hon. Neal Dow
based his recent assertion that Judge Ap-
pleton denied that he had expressed the
opinion that the prohibitory amendment
would annul the prohibitory statute was the
"quibbling statement in the Bangor Wing
to the effect that Sin some things the Judge
was reported correctly by TIE Commercial
and in other things not" This is piece of
pure assumption on the Commercials part
without one iota of evidence to support it,
and has not the slightest tendency to cast
suspicion upon the truth of Mr.. Dow's state
ment. Mr.. Dow says squarely that Judge
Appleton has denied that he held particu-
lar opinion attributed to him by the Com
mercial. The only method of successfully
impeaching this statement is by getting
denial of it from Judge Appleton. The
Commercial has evidently not been able to
do that, and SO resorts to "quibblirg."

on the Maine Coast.
RocKnAND, Me-, May 8.-The steam
er City Of Portland, plying between
Portland aud ST. Johns, N. B.. struck
on Grindstone Ledge, at Owls Head
this morning. The steamer left Portland
last night with seventy passengers and
two.thirds Of cargo. The night was
clear. AS day was breaking, the first
pilot sighted a striped buoy on the port
bow, between the ship and Fisherman's
Island. In a few minutes
the steamer struck the ledge,
slid on amidships and stuck
fast. The pumps were started, distress
colors set, and the boats cleared. The
officers and crew were cool and the pas
sengers behaved we'll. The captain
landed in boat and drove to Rockland,
six miles, for help. The steamer Rock
land promptly answered and reached
the scene at $50. In the meantime a
sloop from Owls Head answered the
signal and two boat loads of women and
children were transferred to the sloOp.
The rest of the passengers with their
baggage, expressed freight, etc., were
put aboard the Rockland and brought
to this city. The passengers we're
we'll cared for here and will be forward
ed. The captain of the sloop at Fisher
mans Island says the striped buoyis out
of position and had the steamer passed
within one width on the other side
of the buoy she would have been all
right.
The City of Portland was formerly
called the New England. She was re-
built twelve years ago, She is valued
at 1925, 900. It is understood there is
no marine insurance on the boat.
