Chrlstian charity had disappeared. Re
member gotsr enemies and don't forget gour
friends he says to Mayor Deeriug, which
meaus, Punish your enemies and reward
your friends OF whom l am one."
When he issued his address the ''impera-
tive duty" seemed to him to be to "enforce
the peoples decision" as declared by the
vote op the constitutional amendment.
When he wrote his letter to Mr.. Deerng he
had concluded that he could waive this
''imperative duW' and devote himself
henceforth 10 serving Mayor Deerlng and
Mayor Derings interests without even siip-
ulaing that the means for The advancement
of those interests should not conflict with
his official oath.
He wound up his public address in this
style
And let US not in all our efforts to enforce the
law for one moment forget these words Rev. Dr..
Cuyler; y he moment The friends of God and truth
and virtue rely entirely civil law and neglect all
moral Efforts the battle is lost"
He closed his letter 10 The Hon. John W.
Deerng ia this fashion:
"Destroy this letter."
The address was written by him as mem
ber of the Law and Order League. All but
the congratulatory part of he letter he de.
clared in his explanation on Wednesday
evening was written BY him as a member of
the Law and order League also. But the
address was meant for the public eye and

It lis impossible 10 take in at single sit
ting all the beauties Of the Rev. Mr.. Mum
sons letter to the Hon. John W. Deering.
To be fully appreciated the letter needs to
be studied in connection with several well
known facts and contrasted with some OF
the public utterances If the Rev. Mr.. Mum
son. In an address to the citizens of Port
land issued no longer ago than February,
Mr.. Munson said:
Against one thing all must guard-the carrying of
party feelings and personal telfshness into the field
of morals.
And then he went on to declare that the
work in which he professed to be engaged
was a purely moral work.
When he sat down soon after the sixteenth
of March to write his LOW famous letter to
the Hon. John w. Deering his work as
sumed a different character. 1t then ap-
peared to be work to promote the election
of Mr.. Deerlng-not purely moral work by
apy means -and work to secure for him
self the office of marshal, certainly work
not free from personal selfishness.
When he issued his address to the public
his heart was filed with love for all men
for the rumsellers even. "Christ," he's

Shut Them un.

Marshal Andrews has closed up Jack
Sullivan's rumshop and stationed guard in
font of the door. That is well. But Mr..
Andrews should not spend too much strength
on Mr.. Jack Sullivan. Mr.. Timothy Twigg
keeps rumshop as notorious as Sulivan's.
To be sure Mr.. Twigg fired one hundred
guns over the vindication of Marshal An
drews, and employed five teams to carry
Deering voters to the polls ON election day
And of course it is not as pleasant to prose-
cute ones friends as. ones enemies. But
sentimental considerations Of this sort should
have no place in the bosom of an officer of the
law. Mr.. Andrews should make an official
call upon his admrer, Mr.. Timothy Twigg.
After Mr.. Twigg's case is attended to, let
the vindicated marshal call round on Mr..
Martin Faherty, member of the Democratic
city committee for ward four, who does
very large business In bottles Mr.. Flaherty
has political influence, and is very efficient
about the ward room at csucuses and on
election day. But he is violator of The
law all the same, and must be prosecuted
even at the risk of turning his influence
away from the gentleman whom the Rev.
Mr.. Munson is blooming" for the governor
ship.
Then there is M. Bernard Devine, anoth-
er distinguished rumseiler. Mr.. Andrews
should not overlook him.

Mayor Deering says in his inaugural that
the rate of taxation ought, if pos
slble, to be kept down to 500 on
$1,000. That is SO. But it is very doubt
full if it will be desirable to adopt Mr..
Deering's plan fo- keeping it down to that
point. An increse of valuation would mean
simply an Increase of valuation of real es-
tate; the valuation of personal property
could not be increased. Now it is we'll
known that real estate, by reason of the
fact that it cannot be concealed, already
bears more than its just share of taxation.
An increase of valuation would therefore
inevitably augment this injustice. A reduc-
tion of the tax rate by this plan would re-
lieve the taxpayers whose estate is personal,
at the expense, however. of the taxpayers
whose estate is real.
The fact is there is only one way to reduce
taxation and that is by cutting down expen-
ditures. II that cannot be done taxes can no
be reduced.

Why Mr.. Andrews?

Now wish to see Mr. Andrews restored to his
place as marshal.-ReU. Mr.. Mstnson's Letter.
Why did the Rev. Mr.. Munson want to
see Mr.. Andrews restored to the Office of
marshal? Was it because Mr.. Andrews had
shown himself devoted friend of the cause
which Mr.. Munson is protesting to serve?
Let us see. From May 1888 to March 1884
inclusive Mr.. Andrews and his police force
made thirty-6ve seizures in city which, ac-
cording to his own testimony, contained at
the time 300 rnmshops? During the months
of Janusry and February preceding the
spring election Mr. Andrews made just two
seizures, and those from women. Il is diff
ficult to see anything in such record as
that to attract the attention of sincere tenn
perance reformers. Possibly the Rev. Mr..
Munson may be audacious enough to claim
that he can see something of the kind th ere

Mr.. Thomas and the Swedish Mis-
sion.
Boston Advertiser )

lBoston Adyertiser9
The Handels TidDipg, the chief CONNER
cial newspaper of Sweden, In its issue of
March contained aleading article on the
change of the presidential office in the
United States. In that article occurs the
following aIluslon to the minister OF the
United States, the Hon. w. W. Thomas,
Jr., OF Portland, which will be pleasant read
ing to his many friends in Maine:
1t is of special Importance to our own land that
the friendly relati rs, which have so long existed
between The United States of North America and
the United Kingdom of the Scandinavian Peninsula
be maintained and strengthened When the pres
ent representative of the great republic arrived
amongst u.s. he declared it to be his highest isson
to draw more osely he bonds of friends hip which
unite the two nations. This pledge has sacrediy
kept We do not hesitate. therefore, to express The
hope that be may be permitted, Notwithstanding
the change of Presidents, to complete the work he
has begun.
Mr.. Thomas is peculiarly qualified for do
ing excellent service to bis country in this
Office. He is an accomplished gentleman
who had lived in Sweden already, had be-
come fayorably known 10 its government
and people through his connection with the
enterprise of promoting the Swede Co ony in
Maine, speaks She language of the country
fiuently, and has the respect and confidence
of all. 1t would not be possible to make a
change in this office that would be adganta-
Gus 10 our interests.

this or else the Republican possesses more

orchards Of the Treasury Department he mo-

tion, that favorite civil service reform cher
ry tree had been cut down, and that the axe
lying where the cherry tree had stood bore

venerable Busnrod, with his face full of
wrath and pain, Immediately sought out his
hopeful son, Daniel Manning Washington,
and said unio him, "Did you cut down that
iavorite cherry tree Of mine which stood in
the Treasury Department orchard?" The
tears sprang TO Daniels eyes, his breath
came quick, his bosom heaved. he clenched
his hands, and then he responded, "Father,
