The Ellsworth American SAYS Capt Ed
ward Robinson of South West Harbor, mas
ter of schooner Tamson, while fishing on
Girmon bank. May 22d, lost a fishing troll of
1000 hooks, belonging to John A. Walls, one
of the crew. Search was made but without
success. Eleven days afterward, while fish
ing off Bakers Isle, sixty miles from the
eastern hills of Mt. Desert, the troll was
found by the crew of the same vessel, with
three live fish attached to it. The fish had
hung to the hooks for eleven days without
food.
correspondent in the Ellsworth American
says that the Jail in Hancock county is the
worst in the State and that it is disgrace to
the State. 1t is also said-There is confined
in the county Jail woman charged with
breaking open barn and stealing bag of
hay. The case is beyond the Jurisdiction of
the Police Court and so she must remain in
Jail waiting trial until the October term of
the Supreme Court. The woman is married
and is the mother of five children, the Oldest
who, I am informed will find a home
at the poor farm. The two youngest are
twins nine months old and are in Jail with
their mother. We know nothing of the cir
cumstances of the case and have no reason to
suppose that the prisoner has been harshly
dealt with. That the county Jail is disgrace
to any civilized community, is a well known
fact. Several years since the inspectors of
jails pronounced it the worst Jail in the State
and wholly unfit to be occupied. Years ago
the foul stencil and dampness from imper-
feet drainage and lack Of ventilation caused
this Jail to be little better than .'deaih trap

As the redistribution bill introduced by
Mr. Gladstone meets the views Of the con-
servatives and satisfies the great body Of
his own liberal following, twill no doubt
become law soon after the passage of
the franchise bill. Some of the ultra
radicals and the Irish mombars, it is
stated, will contest the passage of the bill,
but the assistance Of the conservatives
will suffice to more than neutralize their
opposition.
Apparently tho new measure, by largely
increasing tho representation Of Tho great
c,ei in parliament, win in large de-
gree destroy tho influence which would

the franchise bill. This new element, be-
ing manly composed Of the laboring
aud agricultural classes, is shorn of
much of its Importance by decrease in
TuTa representation and a large increase
in urban representation.
IN this 1t seems that Mr.. Gladstone has
possibly surrendered much of the gain
the liberal party hoped for from tho pas
sage Of the franchise bill, but at the same
time the solid point involved in tho iu-
Vsstiture Of tho agricultural laborers
with the privilege Of suffrage has been
permanently made, and another redistri-
button Of parliamentary seats may be
effected at n day In the future,

SENATOR PLUMB is decidedly right in
saying that it is becoming question for
congress to consider whether, owing to
the rapid exhaustion Of the public domain,
some Of the lands held by Indians should
not be obtained for white settlers. 1t is
plain that the supply of good, arabic land
is rapidly becoming limited to the Indian
reservations, and that sooner or later the
whites will press over their boundaries
regardless Of treaties. The policy of the
government is now to reclaim the Indians
from their nomadic habits and induce
them 10 adopt the settled ways of
civilization. That done the vast
bodies of land assigned to them
SO that they could in largo
part maintain themselves by hunting
will not be needed for their support, for
much smaller area devoted to agriculture
and stock raising will be sufficient to
afford them q comfortable living. Con.
gress should tako steps to acquire an
equitable title by purchase to such parts
OF the reservations as are not necessary
for the support Of the red men, and then
see to it that their title to the portion
left to them Is SO firmly established that
it will bo respected by white settlers and
protected BY courts as thoroughly as the
title to realty is respected and protected
in the states.

That delicious, charming and irresistible
little actress, Minnie Palmer, will begin an
engagement at Ford's opera house next week.
This will be her first appearance in this city
since her return from highly successful tour
of over two years duration In England, where
she received most flattering notices from the
press. The play, "My Sweetheart" was con-
structed especially to exhibit her peculiar
talents in the strongest light. In speaking of
the performance the Baltimore Sun says: "As
Tina, the heroine OF the play, young lady
just home from boarding school, Miss Palmer
presents charmingly fresh and natural stage
creation, and her songs and dances add greatly
10 the interest OF her bright and highly original
performance" Miss Pamer's admirers in this
city are numberless, and in consequence seats
will be In great demand. The sale begins to-
day.
