This is day of sorrow and thankfulness,

This is day of sorrow and thankfulness,
OF exultation and conservation. Devoted by
formal enactment and by common consent
to the memory of those who died for their
country in war, it has become the solemn
Good Friday of patriotism. Those who re-
member the days of trial and glory, who saw
the regiments of brave men march away to
encounter the hazards of desperate cam
pagns, who lived through the years of anx-
iety and suffering, who sbuddered for loved
ones when the ors of battles came from
the South, who bewailed the returning dead
and welcomed the veterans who survived,
feel the meaning of this days beautiful cere-
mony with peculiar force. Those who were
too young to share the stress and pang, the
endeavor and the triumph of that
heroic time or who have been born
since the roar of hostile cannon was
quelled will behold the day with
other emotions. 1t has for them a
significance of mystery beyond their expe-
rience; but not less ardently do they partake
in Imagination of the exatation of sacrt-
fee. The remnant of the Grand Army yet
lingering will be regarded to-day with sin
cere reverence and sympathy, as they deposit
fragrant tokens of remembered comradeship
on the graves of those who once stood with
them in line Of battle, but have been ordered
into camp little sooner.

The Oil Question.

We give good deal of space this morning
to Messrs. Twitchell, Champlin & Co. to set
forth their reasons for wanting private in
spector of the oils sold by them, rather than
inspection by the public inspector. They as
sert that our report of the hearing was in
correct. 1t was made by one of the report
ers of the PRESS who was present for that
purpose in the regular course of his duty,
with no conceivable motive for making 9TH
or than an accurate report, and whoever re-
fers to it will see that the space given to
statements by each party is nearly equal.
1t has been pronounced fair report by
many who were present, and as accurate as
could be expected in so brief an ac-
count of hearing which lasted about
three hours. Messrs. Twitehell, Champlin &
Co. do not cite any record by which to prove
its ncorrectness but we do not object to al
lowing them to make such corrections Of it
as they wish to do, only we assume no re-
sponsibiity for their statements.
1t is proper to add that, having heard that
this firm objected to certain state
ments in the PRESS made in the course of
comments upon the hearing, as reported,
and based upon report which we had no
reason to suppose incorrect, Mr.. Cloyes was
sought and was asked the question whether
the report of his testimony in the PRESS was
correct. He replied that it was substantial
ly accurate except in one point. The report
was handed TO him with request that
he would indicate what was inaccuia ate, and
In the next issue of the PRESS the error, the
only one indicated by him, was corrected.
IT he had pointed out any others they would
have been corrected. Recognizing the right
OF Messrs. Twitchell, Champlin & Co. to
have their position and request in this mat
ter of the inspection of their merchandise
fairly presented to the public, we afford them
column to set it forth in their own way,
making no complaint that they use the
'space, not only to correct errors of fact, but
also to argue their case, and to rebuke us for
venturing to express opinions upon the prop
er enforcement of public law, aud the poll.

The committee on elections of the House
has concluded to report in favor of Chalmers
in his contest with Manning, and in favor of
Wise, the Readjuster congressman from
Virginia, against Massey. There is not the
slightest doubt but both Chalmers and Wise
are entitled to their seats, but there is no
reason to suppose that that fact had any in
fuence on the committee. In view of late
precedents it is probable that Chalmers and
Wise get their seats in spite of the fact that
they were fairly elected and not on account

We have lately printed two Or three COM
munications regarding the running of the
trains between this city and Boston. The
burden of the complaint, if we apprehend it,
is that business men are not able to leave
Portland and get back to it at seasonable
hours having good business day in Boston.
The chief difficulty relates to the incon-
venient time of the morning trains. The
only one that reaches Boston in time to al
low passengers to accomplish any business
before noon starts too early and runs too
slowly. If there could be- train starting at
Z, or 7.30 a. M, making the run to Boston
in three or three and half hours, so that a
Portland man could get the time from 1890
a. m. to 80 p. m. in that city and arrive
home in the early evening it would give
much satisfaction. The RAILROAD companies,
we presume, are willing to do what they can
do reasonably and profitably to accommodate
the public, and this is suggestion to which
it may be worth while to give consideration.
That such train would become popular
might confidently be expected.
