Hail. gallant chief thy deeds alone
Have raised in loyal breasts n throne
And erOwn'd thee there;

Thy manly arm was raised TO shield
A Nations people;
Thy sacrifice not in vain,
Thy loss was but our eOuntry's gain.

And ask that blessings crown thy way,
And freedoms boon be ours for aye.

of it? How was it with the two gallons OF
whiskey directed to Centre street? Did the
Marshal think that was to be used to wash
the baby in and deliver 1t up for the benefit Of
the rising generation? How about the eleven
bottles of lager seized at the old printers ex-
change? Did the Marshal think that was to
be used incidentally to cure bad case of
dyspepsia?
On another page is published partial list
of the liquors delivered up by the Marshal
without any order of court. Is there a sim
gle case in that list where the presumption
was SO strong that the liquors seized were
to be used legitimately that the Marshal
would be justified in delivering them up
without an order Of court, even on the as
sumption that he had any power to do so?
We doubt if there is a single one. But as a
matter of fact the Marshal had no power
whatever to do so, whatever the presump-
ton. 1t was his duty to libel them, and ne
glect to do so was plain violation of the law.
The Marshal undertakes to excite a little
sympathy in his behalf by alleging that he is
being prosecuted because he is putting down

In July he called for 300 warrants to sup
press rumselling -Four months later in
December he called for 1900, five times as
many, for the same purpose. Does that look
as if he had been suppressing the liquor
traffic? An officer that shows such a record
as that need have no fear that he will ever
be prosecuted for suppressing rumselling

A Kansas judge rendered decision the
other day which will be interesting both to
prohibitionists and distillers. The eircum-
stances of the case in brief are these: The
Kansas law, like the Maine law, prohibits
the manufacture as well as the sale of liquor
in the State. A brewer who had been in
dicted and convicted for violating the anti
manufacturing clause of the law sued the
State for the consequent loss of his property.
he claimed that his property was worth
$1,000 if used for any other purpose but a
brewery but as brewery it was worth $780,
O00 In his suit for compensation for the diff
ference the court decided in his favor, the
Judge holding in his decision that breweries
and distilleries established prior to the en-
actment of the prohibitory law must be paid
for if closed by the law. Breweries and dis
tilleries built after the enactment of the law
of course do not come within the range of
this opinion. If this should be sustained and
generally accepted as the law of the land it
would prove serious hindrance to the Pro-
hibitionists by bringing an embarrassing f.
nancial question before the taxpayers of
every state wherein prohibitory legislation
shall be asked for. For instance, the capreo1
invested in New York in brewing alone is
put at nearly $35,0OOO00. Should the State
adopt prohibition suits for damages against
the state on all this property would furnish
fine bill for the tax payers But the law OF
the Kansas judge is yet to be reviewed by
the full court of that State, to say nothing OF
other States

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser has had conversation with
Congressman, who has good ground for be-
lieying that the fishery commission question
will not be forced. Secretary Bayard, he
says, is greatly astonished at the general
protest that is coming from all the States on
the Canadian border. Mr.. Cleveland, too, is
somewhat taken by surprise, and is inclined
to think that his recommendation was made
without sufficient information. People in
Washington who are in a position to know
have come to the conclusion that the I'M
qualified protest against the commission will
accomplish its object and Mr.. Bayard will
allow the matter to drop. This would be the
most graceful way out of a grave difficulty

Albany Journal.

The Washington correspondent of the New

that President Cleveland under no circum-
stances will furnish the Senate with the in
formation upon which he has made removals
and appointments. 1t is added that Demo
cratic Senators and Congressman do not
wish him to do so as they fear the results to
themselves of their own efforts to secure re-
movals and appointments. If this statement
is true, then President Cleveland has made
a grave mistake. The Senate cannot be ex-
pected to act fayorably upon many apparent
ly dubious appointments unless it is in pos
session of iRformatian upon the subjects.
He would not ask the Senate to act in the
dark on other matters. There can be NO
creditable reason why the Senate should be

Miss whitham,s Many Dogs.

Lovetta Whitman, of Boston, who two
months ago invaded Suffolk county, Long
Island, with twenty-nine dogs, has been
making it lively for the inhabitants of the
east end of Long Island. When Miss
Whitman first rode into Suffolk county in
n special baggage car with her pets, only
fourteen of the dogs were large enough to
walk, the rest being pups, which the
woman carried in her apron and in bag.
These pups have grown SO that they can
yelp and eat almost as much as the larger
dogs More pups have increased the canine
family considerably. The woman has been
roaming about Suffolk county with all her
dogs, attracting attention everywhere and
creating CONSERVATION in some places.
She generally spends the night in
the woods with her dogs, and in
the daytime endesvoTs TO sell some OF
the animals, which SIRE mostly OF common
breed, although she claims that they are all
valuable settlers. The dogs have attacked

TIE TOMB OF ISAIAH THoMAs-The
Thomas tomb. in Worcester, Mass, was
recently opened and the remains removed.
1t was found necessary to tear down the
brickwork inclosing the coffin before the
remains could be reached. The top of the
coffin was of mahogany, and in a fair state
of preservation, but the sides barely held
together. Only the skull and some OF
the larger bones remained intact. The for
ner was carefully measured by members
OF the Worcester Society of Antiquity and
its dimensions were as follows Circumfer-
euce of the skull, 214 inches over the
crown from ear to ear Is inches; around
the forehead from ear to ear, III inches.
On the coffin lid was plate of solid silver
containing the inscription In the next
receptacle were the remains of Mrs Knox,
Mrs. Blackburn Mr.. Thomas mother) and
Mrs. Fowle. those of the two last named
having been removed from the Thomas lot
when the tomb was completed. Some OF
the bones and the skulls remained, and a
Tin plate was found on Mrs. knox's coffin,

Inthe last receptacle opened the remains OF
Mrs. Thomas, the second, were found. to-
gether with tin plate, similar to the one
on Mrs. Kaoxs coffin, but with the letters
also obiiterated.
