on public buildings gave hearing on the
matter and reported nn the 5ih of April that
he have leave to withdraw. He then petit
toned for leave to erect building for car
rage house. A favorable report was made
on this petition with a proviso in these
woris. with express stipulation that the
sad wooden building to be built under this
permission shall in no part be used as a
stable"
Under this permission Mr.. Chase erected
his carriage house, and then proceeded to
move upon the lo:, which he could do wi b.
out license, some old sheds, which were
placed against his carriage house and used
fo- stabling his horses. Thus, while he does
not occupy any part of the new building for
. stable. he has defeated the purpose of the
city government. violated the intent of the
licsnse and done great harm to the neighbor

formed that in moving his old buildings 10
their present location he, without permits
sion, took down the fences and encountered
the premises of some aged women who we're
unable 10 make tfectual protest against his
proceedings.
Such disregard of the interests of others,
and such sharp practice In dealing with the
city, marx Mr.. Chase as a man whom it
would not be wise TO place in public Office.

matter fully, will take cafe of him.

The Mayor and the shipmasters.

me mayor ana the Sh1pmaSterH.
1t is difficult matter to convey to those
who have had no experience of IL an idea oil
the arbitrary, coarse and insulting bearing
of Mayor D-ering toward those members OF
the city government who offend him by not
agreeing with him. Sometime ago we spoke
of him as acting with the insolence of a
brutal shipmaster." We learn that the
Mayor is representing in some quarters that
the PRESS has accused shipmasters a. q
class of brutality, and wants them to vindi-
cate themselves by voting for him. That 10
just like him. He knows bette, and we do
not think he will have much success in this
Misrepresentation. The editor of the PRESS
has had good deal to do with ship.nasters
and sailors, and was himself in the naval
service during the war. He would be the
last tospeak dis. especially Of class OF men
whose excellent qualities of head and heart,
whose courtesy and humanity, he has good
reason to know and esteem. But they know,
as he knows, that violent-tempered and
brutal nature unmasks itself peculiarly 10
positions of authority, and nowhere more
certainly than when it has the absolute as-
thority OF ship captain. From this IL
happens that brutal ship captain is one Of
the most obnoxious of petty despots.
The shipmasters of Portland would have good
rea' on to find fault with the PRESS If it had
intimated of them as class, that their man.
ners and Ia guage were like those the Mayor
has frequently exhibited In his conduct dur
ing the year, for these have been the man.
ers and language OF such shipmasiers %
are not held in respect by the majority OF
their own protest., n. He has abused his
associates in the city government In terms
which the worst shipmasters apply to The
sailors whom they despise, and which cour-
teous gentlemen, whether Ola sea or land,
never employ. The brutal shipmaser is not
the representative of all shipmas.rls, unless
they choose TO ally ihems+lveo with him ard
insist that there shall be no discrimination
between him and them, any more than the
brutal officer of soldiers is the type of all Of
fcers, or the brutal foreman of q shop tie
type of all foremen.
Our knowledge of shipmasters had
not led US TO suspect that they would
be apt to resp md favorably to an appeal
to exalt insolence, but rather that they
would be quick to show that anybudy who
appealed to them to approve discourtesy and
brutality in behavior had made a mis-
take.

Sergeant Bates, who started last October,
with tbs son Frank, to carry the American
flag through the South, has arrived at Wash
ingaon. He has marched 1850 miles on foot
and addressed 1l9 public meetings. he is
not pleased With the reception he met with
and IS convinced that the flag is not popular
10 the South. We suspect, however, that
many of the uncomplimentary epithets
which the Sergeant thought were intended
for the flag, were really meant for him. The
spectacle of an abe-bodied man tramping
about the country with a flag ON his shout

Minister West has written a letter to Mr..
Hewitt re alive to his understanding Of the
conversation between them In regard to the
OOonnell resolution. Mr.. West says he did
not regard what Mr.. Hewitt said In the
light of an apology for the resolution, but as
an explanation of the peculiar circumstances
which prompted it, nor could he presume
from anything said in the conversation that
there was any want of sincerity on Mr.. Hew-
itt's part in moving the resolution in ques-
ton. Mr.. Hewitt, it seems, did say to Mr..
West that other resolutions, less consider
ate in form, had been proposed and would
have been offered had not he Of
fered the one he did. Mr.. Hewitt could
have saved himself deal of trouble and

The situate n in the Soudan is becoming

apparently, found it impossible to overcome

preparing to evacuate that place. Flushed
with victory the troops of Osman Digma are
close to Suakim, and the Mahdi is marching

troops available is yet small, and the great
danger is that they may BE- outnumbered

1t looks as if the lewiston Democrats
were preparing to vote both early and often
on election day. An inspection Of the vot-
ing lists shows that they are full Of errors, .
large part of them being Of the nature Of
Implications of names. Frequently there is
slight difference in spelling. and sometimes
name Ia printed in full, followed by the
same name with only the initials given.
Thus in Ward 2 appears the name of Nj
chael B. Gillespie, and Immediately follow
ing is the name N. B. VGilleshie; the name
Daniel J. Norton is followed by d. ]. Nor
ton. In Ward is the name Longlier Louis
followed by the name Longelier Louis, the
only difference being that the letter is in
serted between the first and second syllable
Of the name Longlier, No less than seventy
names have been discovered which are either
exactly duplicated or duplicated with some
sli2ht change. In Ward five alone ten names
Of well known Republicans have been
omitted. The Journal is not certain wheth-
err these errors are the result Of accident or
design, but we SHOULD say the number and
nature of them suggested design.
