Fast Day,

GOVERNOR ROBES PROCLAMATION.
The Governor has issued the following proc
lamation:
The faith Of our ancestors in the power of prayer
to Almighty God, and a realization of entire de
pendencc upon His mercy, led them early to set
apart day of public fasting, humiliation and
prayer. which has become ar honored usage, and
when accompanied by an humble and sincere be
lief that He is 'who heareth PRAYER" is profit
able in its continuance.
81 therefore, by advice and consent of the ex-
equity" council, appoint Thursday, the 23d day of
April next, to be observed by the people of this
State for that pious purpose; and do urge that it
be kept In the private home and public sanctuary
as becomes a Christian people who have been the
grateful recipients of 50 many varied blessings.
Let us continue to implore the favor of God, the
forgiveness of SINS the general prosperity of our
State and country, and the triumph of a correct
faith throughout the world. 1.-THE Lord aketh
pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope
i'll His mercy"
Given at the Council Chamber at Augusta, this
twenty fifth day of March, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty

Anything more absurd than Neal Dow and
Mr.. Mun>on, accompanied by detachment of
reporters and followedby procession of street
urchins, going about Portland in quest of some
thing to drink could hardly be imagined. Mr.
Munson failed ever to get glass of beer, and
this is accepted as proof that the Democratic
city government of Portland has suppressed
the sale of liquors in that city. Next tone the
procession should be headed by brass band.

The post office inspectors have begun to
make war on the publishers OF the numerous
snide newspapers with which Chicago is tilled
and whose proprietors are swindIing the public
by various tempting offers of presents ard
loans of money, on the receipt of the sub
scription price.
Ii is said that the public is swindled out of
about $4,000 day by such frauds in Chicago
alone. They are not, however, confined to
Chicago alone. and we hope this war will be
continued all along the line. The prosecutions
are to be conducted under the statutes which
relate to the Use of the mails for swindling
purposes, and for the transaction of il lottery

A Californian Reception

Things are not done by halves on the Pacific
coast. The biggest trees, the biggest vegetables
and the choicest fruits grow there; and when
1t is proposed to paint a town red the paint
ing is not done as though by the job, but
every crack and nail hole is filled and the color
faithfully laid on. San Francisco recently gave
a reception to Mile. Nevada, 1.-The Sage Brush
Lnnet,' as her Western admirers call this
charming prima donna, and it was a reception as
is a reception. OF the struggle for tickets to
the Grand Opera House. where the affair took
place, nothing need be said. The house was
crowded, of course, and the Alta tells rs that
1.-THE audience, with spontaneity seldom be-
lore witnessed, arose en- masse aid clasped, as
it We're, ID petit diva to warm and heightened
embrace" The scene must have rivaIled that
depicted by ARENAS Ward Of the Mormon ell

score or more of people were discovered break
ing in through the skylight," and We're sum
marty elected Then Mile. Nevada e>saytd to
sing Home Sweet Home, but was overcome by
emotion and compelled to retire from the stage.
She soon returned, and thereafter ii was one
uubroken triumph for the sohgstress, who was
pelted with flowers after each song and over
wheimed with more elaborate floral tributes.
The Alta says further: "Mllc. Neyada's kisses
last night were FOR once at discount. She
threw osculatcry sautes at the audience until
each one present seemed to feel the pressure of
her warm lips. She kissed the cholus-siGgers,
caressed the male singers, and tripPed to and
fro upon The stage with the lightne,s of fairy >
We are now quite prepared to believe the
further statement: veteran opera-goers de-
clared that never before was such ovation
rendered to any lyric or dramatic artist" Ger

such wholesale hngging and kissing on o.

There has been some question as to whether
the credit for preventing the employees of the
New York post office from voting for Blaine
was due to Postmaster Pearson or Postmaster
General Hatton. The Boston Herald gives the
credit TO Pearson who, it says "would not al
low the carriers to vote for Blaine.'' Well
Pearson has got his reward.

A Disgruntled Organ.

The Boston Advertiser, which last year
abandoned an honorable position among Re
publican journals to follow the Democratic
procession. does not find its present path
strewn with roses, and is manfestlv unhappy
over the distribution of the spos in Massachu
sets. OF the change in the post office at Taun-
ton the Advertiser says:
Nobody wanted a change except the polite
ians, who think that, because their party won
in the election, the revenues of the govern
ment must be turned into the pockets of the
Democrats, on the theory that to the victorS
belong the spois. These have pre-. vailed. The
of Postmaster Pearson of New York is not
a whit srongc. as regards the principles of
civil service reform thar the case of Post
master Fuller of Taunton.

as postmaster al Eal River the Advertiser says
it lis purely partisan affair" and that Mr.. II.
sis Just the kind of man for W HON it would be
expected that something must be done by an
administration which desired to reward jealous
party workers"
Under the caption of "A Traitor and Thief
iIonored,' the Advertiser prints an editorial
from which we quote Is follows:
A correspondent asks whether it is true that
Secretary Lamar caused the flag over the In
terror Department to be placed at half irast on
account Of the death of Jacob Thompson.
Yes, it is true that Secretary Lamar old this
1 thing. and there is no reasonable excuse for
such an atfront to the patriotism of the ever
loyal people OF these United States and the
feelings of honest and honorable men, If. AS

The Portland Advertiser publishes brief
article on newspaper 'creditS." With which in
the main we fully agree. But while there are
unwritten laws in Journalism which are usually
observed. each editor is in fact law unto HIM
self Some recognize and practice certain cour-
tesies while others ignore them, There is one
weekly paper in Maine which publishes in each
issue from half dozen to two dozen items and
articles from the journal and rarely credits
one of them; ana extracts from the writings Of
"Our George" have gone all over the country
credited to the Maine daily which appropriate
ed them without giving the name of the writer
or the paper in which they first appeared. This
sort of thing strikes Us as not only di>c0urtcuus
but dishonest A later illustration is Seen in the
copying without credit by the Maine papers
generally of an account Of the adventures OF
TWO Portland runners. first published in the
Somerset Reporter. But 1t i, not worth while
to quarrel about such things. Newspapers are
50 generally ditfused noW-a-days, and readers
are so intelligent. that the editor who depends
upon appropriatng the work Of others to ill
his columns is soon found out, and then the
pUDllc patronage Is transferred 10 the more Ell
terpri>ing. We believe that in newspaper
work. as in other directions, honesty is the
best policy.
The war outlook has not greatly changed
during the past week. 1t looks as though
France and China will bury the hatchet, while
England and Russia have not yet settled their
differences, and war may result. There is
nothing of importance from Egypt. Barrios i
reported to have been killed in an engagement
in which his forces We're defeated, although
the report is denied. Colon, or Aspinwall, was
burned last week by the rebels, and there is
now sufficient naval force at the lSthnuS to
protect American interests Canada is sending
troops to the scene of rebellion in her north
west, and there will be good deal of blood
shed in that direction before Ritl ana his toI-
lowers are put down.
