President Cleveland.

The situation at Washington is becoming in
teresting. 1t really looks as though the Presi-
dent intends to live up to the principles he has
professed, and if he does this the coming four
years will witness some strange and perhaps
startling political developments. 1t was gen.
orally remarked of the Presidents inaugural
that IT was Republican rather than Democratic
in tone: and, including his letter on the silver
question, there is no issue upon which Mr..
Cleveland has clearly defined his position in
which be is not in full accord with Republican
sentiment. 1t follows, of course that he is not
in accord with Democratic sentiment, and this
is certainly true of the controlling element of
that party. On the silver question the Demo-
Gratis in Congress have placed themselves in OPP
position to the President. On one other ques-
ton the President has committed himself fully.
and that is upon civil service reform; and this
despite the fact that at least nine Democrats
out of ten, and perhaps we should say ninety
nine out of every one hundred, believe that to
the victors belong the spo>. The only Demo-
crat in Congress who has made himself con-
spicuous as an advocate of civil service reform
was Senator Pendleton of Ohio, and be was de-
feated for reelection by his own party solely
because Of that advocacy, and his seat given to
a representative of the Standard Oil Company.
the most odious and oppressive monopoly i'll
thi, country. And now President Cleveland has
appointed Mr.. Pendleton Minister to Berlin
a direct rebuke to the spoils-hunting. Standard
Oil and John r. Mclean Democrats of Ohio
who now control the party organization in that
State.
That the President should chose his own adj
vi>ors and that The heads of departments should
have their party friends near them, is of course,
to be expected. It is fitting too, that the new
administration should be repre.onte abroad by
men in sympathy with it. These appointments
are outside of the civil service regulations and
not to be included in them. The executive
officers should be in political accord with the
administration whose policy it is their duty TO
carry into effect. The appointments thus far
made by the President have been consistent
with his declarations and have commanded
general approval. They are not such as would
he made by a Republican President, but a
Democratic President must select from his own
party. And thus far he seems to have made
his own selections. Whether he will be able to
maintain his independence of the wire pullers
and machine politicians remains to be seen.
but present indications are that he intends to
be President in fact as well as in name.

In spite of the unfavorable elements which
were brought to bear against life insurance in
general during the last year, the forty first
annual report of the New England Mutual
Life Insurance Company shows that this eX-
cellent institution has increased in public conf
dence and favor. The present assets are Sl5,-
GT2 so r. while the Liabilities are So los SEA-
70, leaving IA surplus of s513,1I0.31 TO be dis
tributed among the policy holders.
AT this time when the public is greatly ex-
cited by the uncertain fluctuations in business
and investments, the following extract from
President Stevens's annual report will be found
of special interest. Speaking of life insurance
as one OF the surest methods of providing for
the contingencies which are liable to arise, he
says: No better method has been devised in
the worlds history to provide against the I'M
cert iinty and irreparabe loss of a productive
human life than the institution of Life lnsur-
ance; for destiny cannot be controlled, or the
hazards of sudden death adequately guarded
against.
Thus life insurance ranks among the greatest
enterprises of the world it is known among
all people and classes; it Is the resort of the
prudent and the eXtravagant; the Young and
the mature; 1t Is the only resource open TO the
man of moderate means, who is, by force of
circumstances, deprived of saving for those
who shall survive him after his weary journey
Is ended; il is a blessing, in material form, to
the widow and orphan; in short, it affects all
sorts and conditions of men. The conclusion
cannot be avoided, that if the assumptions As
regards mortality and interest, which con-
sttute the basis of the law of life insurance,
are strictly adhered to, the system must per-
manently stand, and it will become a monu-
ment of mems goodness towards and care for
the welfare of future generations. Insurance
upon lives. therefore. for the purpose of pro-
viding for families, must have most taoorabie
influence uo,s tie social md moral condition Of the
community generally, so that well-founded,
well-conducted institution of this description is
a subject of public interest, its beneficial
effects are at least equal to those of any public
charitable philanthropic institution; and
these effects are produced without any dona-
ton, sacrifice or act of beneficence by the pub
lie or by individuals, being the natural and
easy results Of the spontaneous thrift, pru-
dence and forecast of individuals in conducting
their own concerns"

Chemistry never achieved more decided triumph
than in the production of SOZODONT, which is a
botanical preparation of wondrous efficacy in pre-
serving and beautifying the teeth, rescuing them
from decay, and rendering them as white as alabas
ter. 1t is toilet luxury of which all should avail
themselves. The unpleasant odor communicated
to the breath by caarrh bad teeth etc, is entirely
obviated by this fragrant and salutary antiseptic OF
which one bottle lasts long time. Druggists and
perfumers sell it..

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Seeing the
gull question continued in your paper brought to
mind what saw in regard to those birds on the
Pacific coast They are perfectly tame compared
with our Atlantic coast birds. After filling them
selves with sea food they will stand on any elevat-
ed fiat surface all in line, facing in one direction
QnlanD and after arranging their toilets will
stand motionless in the for hours. Leaving the
long pier at San Pedro our train passed more than
fifty of these Birds which could have been touched
with the hand. They cared naught for the loco
motive and seemed to have more leisure time than
a tramp At San Francisco told that they
would feed from the hand. They are protected
by law and no one is allowed to shoot them.

hanging over the district for several years 1t was
voted to pass the article in relation to heating the
school buildings by steam. The sum of 5000 was
raised for the purpose of grading and draining the
CHM. David Pierce and f. H. Durham were made
a committee to expend the same. An amendment
was subsequently adopted authorizing the com
mitee to eXpend much of the 5000 as may be
needed. 1t stated that the cellars of the
buildings were in poor condition, and that under
meath of the school buildings there are stand
ing ponds of water. 1t was voted that the school
and financial year begin the first Monday in
September. The agent was instructed not to allow
pupil outside the central district to attend a
term of the High school who already owes tuition
for term. The agent and the principal of the
High school were added to the grading committee.
The question of teaching music in the schools came
up. 1t was stated that Mr.. Crawford, of the Upper
Grammar, would teach music without compensa
ton If the district would hire the Instruments and
a motion to hire four pianos was lost Music is
now taught in the High and Upper Grammar, the
teachers and pupils hiring the instruments. Next
year when the district will be out of debt the
matter will no doubt 20 through without oppo-
sition.

At meeting of the Law and Order League
IN Portland Wednesday night Rev. III. c. Num-
son. agent of the League, offered reward of
S25 for a letter which he had written to Mayor
Deerng, but which was taken from his table
before its delivery. Yesterday morning the
Portland Press published the letter. The letter
urges the Democratic Mayor to enforce the
liquor law and he will be the next Governor of
Maine. The writer not only rejoices in the
election of Nj Deering, but he tells the Mayor
in this letter that he did what he could to secure
his election and that some time he may know
what he (Munson) did 10 bring it about. He
then informs the Mayor that if Mr.. Andrews
will not take the office Of City Marshal, which
he spells with double ~ he will accept it
and ''serve you and your interests" The Law
and Order League Is made up chiefly of Repub
licens. In Portland. as every where. seven

The latest news is less warike, although both
England and Russia seem to be making active
preparations for a contest and some think that
war is inevitable. Indeed, each country has
taken a position which they cannot yield grace
fully. The Week. of Toronto, says: sit is
pretty evident that the Russian commanders in
Asia are restless and disposed to encroach
ment as they always have been, and as British
commanders and officials have always been in
at least an equal degree. 1t was natural that
this jealous activity on the Russian side should
be stimulated by Lord Beaconsfield's invasion
of Afghanistan. But diplomacy must be i'm
potent indeed if it cannot prevent the peace be-
tween two great powers from being broken by
the restlessnesS of frontier commanders

The war spirit is abroad. England and Rus
lila have had their backs up for some time past
and war between these two great powers is
still among the possibilities. Central America
is up IN arms. and Me,,ico may vet have a
hand in the fray. France and China are at war
and Friday the Chinese drove the French from
Laugaus. The news caused great political eX-
element in France, and the entire ministry
resigned owing to an adverse vote of the De
putes. The war in the Soudan is still in
progress. although temporarily lost sight of in
view of the menacng attitudes of England and
Russia. Our near neighbor the Dominion of
Canada, has rebellion on hand in her North
west, and the half breeds of that section under
the leadership of Riel, have been in collision
with the mounted police of Manitoba. The
latter have evacuated Fort Carleton. on ac-
count of its lack of defence, and retreated to
Prince Albert, where they can defend the set
Elements and better protect themselves. All
supplies not needed We're DESTROYED, together
with the fort, to prevent them from falling into
