In another column will he foun d . card
signed by several promine MT clergymen of
the city in COMMUNICATION of the effort max
Ing to obtain sum of money sufficient for
the Fe-estabilshment of Liberia College.
The scholarly and eloquent gentleman from
that republic who has lately visited our city
to make an appeal for the college made
most favorable impression and won the re-
spect of those Tho heard him. The matter is
one which deeply concerns all Americans
whe are interested in extending to willing
and needy people the advantages of educa-
ton. Concerning this particular enterprise
the following passage from some remarks of
Rev. DR.. Thomas Hill Of this city in the
Congregational church of Brunswick last
Sunday are worthy of serious consideration !:
Having been interested in Liberia fron my ear
lest manhood, and knowing something of its histo-
ry and prospects, am deliberately of the opinion
that there Is no spot on earth where moderate
sum of money can do a more immediate, a more per-
manent q more widespread and far-reaching SER
vice for mankind. than it do in helping Liberia
College to establish itself at snce in It's more CEN
trail and more healthy location"

Hon. VIM. D. Pennell of this city, one of the Sen
Ators from Androscoggin, is prominently mentioned
in connection with the Presidency of eur State
Senate. Mr.. Pennell is a very efficient Senator
and would well fll the chair of the Senate. The
fact that his has been freely suggested fol-
this important position, shows that his Senatorial
associates appreciate the fine qualities which make
Mr.. Penneli SO highly esteemed by his fellow citi
zens at home. Mr.. Pennell was successful mem
Dor of the House of Representatives from this city
In 1872, and was promoted to the Senate in 1888
We clip the above from the Lewiston
Journal. Mr.. Pennell is a Portland boy.
aud his many friends in the city and vicinity
are much gratified at his success in the past
and will be greatly pleased by any good for
tune, political or otherwise, which may at
tend him in the future.

Among the many pension bills pending in
Congress is one off red by Wade Hampton
to pay 10 officers Of the Colonial armies in
the revolutionary war the half pay for life
which several Congresses hare authorized,
but winch has not YET been done, although
In some eases the officers themselves re-
ceived five years Of fnll pay, in lieu Of the
hat pay, by their own election. This bill
proposes to pay them or their heirs the diff
ference between tho half pay for life and the
amount they actually received. 1t is esti-
mated that he bill if passed would require
m appropriation of twenty-five million dol
lars

The happiest man We have yet come across
over the result of the election is the Hon.
Daniel q. Thing of Mount Vernon, who
starts letter to the Belfast Age on the sub
ject in this fashion: "Hallelujahl Hallelu-
jshll Hallelujah!!! Praise ye the Lord.
Let all the people praise Him" While he
remains in this frame of mind Mr.. Thing
ought to join the Salvation Army. There is
Hslielnjan Butcher in the ranks already,
but room can undoubtedly be made for a
Hailelujah Granger.

consequence of which he has no knowledge
and cannot foresee, is guilty of criminal
carelessness.
The last decision will strike the pub
lie as eminently sound and just. To
permit man with no knowledge of the hui
man system, or at least with a very imper-
feet knowledge, and with no idea of the pos
sible or even the probable effect of the RENE
dies he is using, to bleed his patients to the
extent of hundreds of dollars when they are
fortunate enough to survive in spite of his
alleged remedies, and to relieve him from all
responsibility when they do not have such
good luck, is showing favoritism to a class
which has not the slightest claim to such
treatment. 1t would be gross and ipdefensi-
Bile unfairness TO punish the railroad engi-
nser for forgetting his time table and thus
causing death, and at the same time permit
the quaek who administers drugs which he
knows nothing about to go scot free in case
fatal results ensue. Probably we cannot
abolish the qusck altogether, but such deci-
Sions as this Of tbs Massachusetts court will
tend to make him comparatively harmless.

Both Senator Beck and Col. Watterson
are Of the opinion that there will be no seri-
Gus attempt at tariff legislation this winter.
The time is too short, and they might
have added that the chances are no better
for getting q horizontal tarif measure
through the House this winter than they
were last. Next winter, however, Col.
Watterson thinks Congress will undertake
"tarifi reform" in earnest, inasmuch as, in
his opinion, the Democratic majority in the
next House will be composed almost entirely
of tariff reformers with President who is
alss q tariff reformer. The Colonel seems
to ignore the Republican Senate, something
which neither the tariff reform House nor
the tariff reform President will be able to
do. Any scheme Of tariff reform which the
Democratic House proposes will be scruti-
xized very closely by the Republican Senate
and it is pretty safe to say that no such mon.
strosity as the Morrison bill will ever reach
the tariff reform President.

The Springfield Republican, at this late
day, is moved to enforce upon the young
men of the nation lesson of instruction in
morals from the scandalous incident in the
life of Governor Cleveland which it says
undoubtedly did him irretrievable damag-
es and probably lost him States" Howev-
er, what it says by way of warning it is
worth while for every young man to consid-
or even now.
mo young man can look upon Cleveland's ca
reer without startling conviction of the truth
taught SO powerfully by American history from the
beginning that under tree institutions every citizen
belongs in real and true sense to the nation, and
man can tell when the voice of the pc pie shall
summe him or his children from obscurtty to the
highest and gravest responsibility. No man can
tell foresee what eminence his child or even
himself may attain unto in this republic, when we
reflect that the babe born ia the log hut the YER
mont border now occupies the White House, and
that another poor minister's son has just been
elected to succeed him. Could the Cleveland of 20
years ago have foreseen the future can any one
doubt that he would have put away pollution, as
tho consecrated priest would shun all unceanness?
The lesson for young men is so to live as to make
tho retrospect OF their lives clean and right before
God and men, for they know not upon what heights
Of searching light they may be called stand in the
mysterious history and destiny of the great repub-

The Decline in Coffee

To-day was one of the most exciting ever seen
in the coffee trade The 152, 900 bags bulletined
as sold did not represent the real magnitude of
the business, since it is not at all improbable that
the sales were much nearer 200, 900 bags The
market was panicky and irregular. Beginning
with drop of from 20G30 points at the first call,
due to some depression in Havre, the downward
movement was given a fresh impetus when two
failures in the trade were announced. The de-
cline then became panic, and scene Of wild
excitement ensued. March soon fell to 50. $50, a
drop Of IS points as compared with the closing
quite severely. Later, when it was seen the
shorts were covering freely, there was a recov
cry, but the closing figures were nevertheless
considerably below those of last evening. L. s.
Rsley sent notice TO the exchange of his ina
bility to meet his engagements. He said they
were small but eould give no exact information
Wolff & Seligsburg also announced their inability
to fulfill their contracts They are said to have
been carrying from 10000 to 100000 bags for
firms in Rio de Janeiro, who had not responded
TO a call for more margin. This was possibly ow-
WELL Meanwhile they decided not to put mar
gin up their risk. tits said 100000 will cover
their liabilities. The rumors of this panicky
day placed their liabilities among the millions.
Among the firms involved were the agents, Kern,
Haint 81 Co., of Rio de Janeiro, who were the
recognized leaders ef the great bull movement in
coffee inaugurated a year ago. This year the
Costa Rica coffee crop will reach 100000 bags.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The feature in the
market this morning was renewed activity
and handsome advance in the West Shore
bonds. The rest of the list in the mean
while was rather dull. Before the noon hour
the Gould properties showed signs of life and
acted as though their owner was again on
terra firma and in communication with Wal
street. The grangers and Rock Island were
a trife unsettled, as the bears on the ex-
change seemed to feel confident that war to
the knife would be inaugurated before TWEEN
ty-four hours elapsed. There was a squirt in
Oregon Transcontinental to 20% and 1t
brought out good deal of stock. The bank
shipment, the decrease in specie amounting
Sc, ISL 200. The reserve was down about
the same amount. Stocks were in
clined to drag little during the after
noon hours. West Shore bonds
fell from 5S4 to 573{. The first quotations
of New York Central are ex-dividend of 9
per cent. The stock was not in good supply
and commanded 4 premium for use during
the early part of the day. Delaware and
Lackawanna seems to be about as solid as
the best, and we rather expect better figures
for it. The market was dull at the end, the
Changers and Oregon Transcontinenta
showing some weakness.
In their review of the days market, Henry
Clews & Co. say: ''The opening this morn
ing was weak and disappointing, and fell far
short of the expectations, which were based
upon the closing tone and prices of yester-
days market The unfavorable bank state
ments, showing decrease in
reserve of S6,OOO,OOO, was a damper
upon the spirits of the bulls,
especially as it foreshadowed hardening of
the rate of monei as the approach the 1st of
April, which is period when the money
center is always heavily drawn upon to pro-
vide for the annual settlements usually made
by farmers and others, in most of the
nearby states. Excessive ease in
money has been an important factor with
the bulls in their campaign a long
time past. The semi-panicy condition
on the coffee exchange this
afternoon and the report of several
failures in that line of business was not re-
ceived as cheerful omen. This, together
with rumor of severe cutting of rates by
the northwestern roads which struck the
board just prior to the end of the days bust
ness, caused Frustrated market and feeble
condition The indications are that the
bulls for the time being at least have under
taken too big contract.
