a remark by Mr.. Howells in the
course of his late reading in Boston at
the Authors Fund benefit as to "How
much easier it is to make ones peace
with ones God than with ones wife,
seems to have especially tickled the
disabilities of the clergy on the plat
form. for Bishop Potter is reported to
have laughed until he was red in the
face and Bishop Cox laughed until he
cried.

The failure of John Roach, the cele-
brated ship builder and government
contractor. for matter of $40, 900, 900.
is variously regarded according as the
commentators look upon the position so
long held by Mr.. Roach in public af-
fairs. While the protection press uni
versally express sympathy with Mr..
Roach and regard his assignment as
undoubtedly square and honest, the
free trade press indulge in pleasantries
regarding the effects of protection and
subsidies as exemplified in his case. 1t
is certainly a queer result of the benevo-
lent policy advocated by those whose
interests lie in the protection of home
industries by the government, rs Mr..
Roach was a heavy manufacturer of
iron and steel, as well as ship builder.
all of which interests are especially well
protected, and calls to mind the similar
results in the case of Oliver Bros. &
Phillips, of Pittsburg, the largest iron
firm in the United States. which recent
ly failed for over 100000 In view
of all this, and the fact that the en-
ployes of iron manufactures are almost
constantly on strike, one is led to ask,
Does protection protect?

The high-license movement is making
progress in New Hampshire, and bill
is pending in the legislature of that state
to carry the principle into effect. The
bill as introduced provides for a license
of $1,000 in cities and towns of over
1000 inhabitants, 800 in cities having
between 1000 and 5000 population, and
so graded as to be 800 less for each
1000 population in smaller towns. This
would leave the minimum at 800.
High license, is, at least in the present
state of public opinion, the true system
of temperance legislation.

At last the small pox has reached Port
land The wonder is that it has not come
before, considering the direct railroad com
munication between this city and Montreal.
While the discovery Of a case should rouse
people who have heretofore been Indifferent
to the necessity of vaccination, it should not
be allowed to cause alarm. Small pox is
fully understood. 1t is not produced by
breathing bad air or drinking bad water. 1t
comes only from contact with, or close prox-
unity to-, either a person suffering
with it or something contaminated
by him. And in the vast majority
of cases vaccination renders this contact
harmless. A disease that can be so perfectly
controlled as small pox there is no reason
to get excited about. There is much stronger
reason to be alarmed over diphtheria which
is a more dangerous disease, not so well I'M
derstood, and for which medical science has
not yet discovered any specific that will
prevent or cure. Within two weeks we have
had two fatal cases of this disease in the
city, yet the ordinance introduced into the
Council some time ago designed to prevent
the spread of this and several other con-
tagious diseases still slumbers.
The Portland daily press., 1885-10-26

There are number of papers yet to be
heard from, whose comments will prove OF
interest. There is, for instance, the FAIR
field Journal, paper located near the home
of the Hon. Simon S. Brown, which some
time ago alleged that it was chiefly Repub-
licans that were supporting Gen. Anderson.
There is the Rockland Opinion also which
has got to do deal of officiating unless it
goes back upon its Democratic President.
There too are the Belfast Age and Lewiston
Gazette, both members of the triumvirate
that went iniunto the President and piped
unto him on the subject.
The Portland daily press., 1885-10-26

Mr.. Cleveland, in his letters to Mr.. Curtis
and Mr..Eaton, as well as in other corre-
spondence, has very clearly defined offensive
partisanship, and the limitation of the lib
erty of political action which should be al
lowed to Office holders He did not however,
state in these letters that these limitations
were to be more vigorously applied to Repub
lican Office holders while the Democrats
were to be allowed larger latitude. This
seems to be the case and it is for this reason
we suppose, that several Democratic Federal
Office holders, including United States Dis
trict Attorney, patent office official, several
naval officers and the Marine band are help
ing out in the Virginia campaign unnoticed
The administration is probably so carefully
on the watch for offensive partisanship in the
New York postofice that it has no time to
look into Virginia.
