We have no doubt that the criticism of the
board was made conscientiously and in the
performance of what it believed to be its
duty. Doubtless the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is acting conscientiously
also in sustaining the book. 1t is only natu-
raj, however, that the author of book-and
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
stands virtually in this relation to Hygiene
for the Young, should be to its faults lit
tleblinder than disinterested outsider would
be. We see no reason to doubt that both
bodies are equally anxious that the book that
will best subserve the purpose selected
shall be introduced into the schools. The
difference of opinion is an honest one

Secretary Manning has issued number
or circulars to selected classes of dealers and
manufacturers, asking them what they think
of the tariff. If Mr.. Manning can remember
as far back as last winter he ought to know
what most classes Of dealers and manufac-
turers think about the tariff Still if he would
like further information let him propose to
repeal it.

STATE OF MAINE.
BY THE GOVERNOR. PROCLAMATION.

The National bereavement caused by the death
of General U. S. Grant has suitably called forth
universal expression of sorrow throughout the
civilized world. / am aware that the heart of the
people OF this State is in full sympathy with the
general expression of encomium which has been so
richly bestowed on his exalted character-meaS-
ured on the battle field for this Union in its Ma
tional executive departments and finally exempli-
fed in that last great trial for life which he dis
played glorious spectacle of divine self sacrifice
and composure, the fruit of God-like manhood.
In consideration of the death of so illustrieus a
patriot and statesman, do recommend that our
National flag be suspended at half-nast on the
public buildings of our State until the day of the
funeral, and that there be general suspension of
public and private business during the hours of
the funeral services of our honored ex-president.
Given at the Council Chamber at Augusta this
twenty-fourth day of July, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eighty
five, and the independence of the United States
of America, the one hundred and tenth.

Last Sunday the Chicago anarchists had a
picnic. One of the transparencies bore the
inscription: Eve mourn not so much Gen.
Grant as the little child who was starved to
death yesterday" The money spent for
beer and poor rum at the picnic would have
kept all OF Chicago's starving children alive
Ior years. No Rention was made of this on
the transparency.

The Argus fails to throw any light on the
mystery surrounding the alleged appoint
ment of F. B. Dunton as postmaster at
Centre Lincolnyille. If there were shadow
OF doubt that the Dunton appointed post
master is the Dunton now in Jail for stealing
from the very post-office to which he has
been appointed, the silence of the Argus
would seem to have removed it. The Hon.
Simon S. Brown has returned to his home in
Wateryille, in easy reach of our esteemed
contemporary. Perhaps he can throw some
light on this matter. Perhaps he can tell
what arrangements have been made for con-
Quoting the post-office during the two months
which Mr.. Dunton has yet to serve In Jail.

who is to represent Congress on that
occasion, speaking on the bill to place Grant
on the retired list, asked:
'What but prurient ambition or greed of gain
can make him Grant appear at the bar of this
House, in the person Of friends and plead for fur
Their honors or more ample fortune? Is the pecuni-
airy debt of the country to General Grant never to
be iqudated, the account never to be closed? Will
he leave nothing to be enjoyed by others equally
meritorous?"
We should say that Mr.. Singleton would
have shown good taste if he had declined to
appear at the funeral His mourning must
be purely perfunctory.
