''Yes. he is fine fellow, but it is

This frank comment concerning q

the home table are likely to follow one

Nathaniel Hawthorne, in letter to her
mother, recalls this reminiscence of her
childhood: "At table what an impress

What Made Him Feel So Rad.

"Joho, do you remember coming

throw you 90 assorted lot of key holes
out of the window, so that you might

"Yes, dearn
"And you remember The = at be-

"Yes, dear"
And the night before that how
you tried to jump into the bed as 1t

YES, dear"
And still another night when you
carefully explained to me that no man

One Thing More.

There was one other important and graft
flying outcome OF Saturdays town meeting
which deserves emphasizing, and this was
the release of the Grand Army Of the Re
public from false position in which this
honored and honorable body of men has too
often been placed. On numerous occasions
it has been felt that the post was being used
as body to further personal fortunes or to
carry through pet personal schemes, and on
this occasion it was evident that the COM
bined help of the post was being relied on to
commit the town to monument design
which had been at the best but imperfectly
considered by the Grand Army men them
selves Many Of the old soldiers resented
such an effort and refused to follow such
leadership. Moreover, they considered the
insinuation that the Grand Army could be
thus used as an unjust imputation on their
own independence, self respect, and integri-
ty. The course which the discussion took on
Saturday afternoon gave the post welcome
opportunity to break away from such false
alliance, real or seeming, and it was cordially
embraced The Grand Army men voted as
citizens to do the thing which would most
honor the town, and not as old soldiers or
members of an organization.
In times past demagogues and self-seekers
have too often made free to use the words
''our old soldiers" and "the Grand Army" as
something TO conjure by, to curry favor, to
compel support and win votes. They have
made it appear to be something reprehensi-
BILE, sort of sacrilege, not to yield instant
compliance to their demands when these
words were used. Support for Office and
support for all sorts of things has been
sought on this ground alone. Self.respect-
ing men among the old soldiers have depre-
Gated this and refused to give countenance 10
it. They have felt that the people had full
realization of the debt which they owed to
the nations defenders, and they have been
content to rest on this, only asking, beyond
this, to take their place and take their chance
according to their deserts, with other citizens
The final and complete break came last Sat
urday On that occasion the Grand Army
men themselves rebuked this sort of clap
trap, and we are not likely to see success

former has never given such an exhibition OF
his utter lack of manlness aud of personal
and professional honor as in his treatment
last week of our answer to his charges
against Senator Edmunds in the electoral
commission matter. In spite of the positive
proof which was furnished of the fasity of
those charges, by extracts from debates which
this editor had never even seen, he brazenly
reiterates his charges and then deliberately
deserts the essential specific issue which he
himself first raised, and rsmbles off through
a column OF words to bring up other accusa-
tions which have no bearing on the question
in hand, and which are themselves as false
and misleading as everything else which he
has printed about the Senator's record. He
rings over again the changes on Mr.. Ed
munds's ''deplorable conception of his duty"
says he ''resorted to the tricks, subterfuges
and lodges of criminal lawyer" and uses a
variety of other insolent and futile epithets
to cover his discontinue. It is like cur
swapping at the sun, and it shows a currish
spirit 20 persist in false accusations, knowing
them to be false None are more severe in

Mr. GIadstOne's Scheme for IRISH Home
Hule,

Thursday, April 9th, will be remembered
as one of the days when history is made
It marks the most important event in the
history of Ireland since the Irish Parliament
was dissolved at the beginning of this centu-
ry. Whether Mr.. Gladstone ia Immediately
successful or not, the fact that the prime
minister of England has enrolled himself in
the recently despscd party of the home
rulers changes the relation between the gov
eminent and the revolutionists.
The changes proposed by Mr.. Gladstone
are as follows; The Irish representation at
Westminster is to be done away, and instead
the Irish Parliament is to be rtestablished at
Dublin. 1t is to have powers both of a leRis.
lative and administrative character It is to
deal with Irish and not with imperial affairs
and is to consist of two orders. One order is
to consist of the present 2S Irish peers, to
whom shall be added 70 representatives elect
ed by the people. These representatives
shall belong to the class of property holders
The popular branch of the Parliament shall
consist of 2O6 members elected by the peo
pie. The viceroy shall be retained but shall
not be the representative of a party The
constabulary shall remain for the present I'M
der the control of the imperial government.
The proportion which Ireland shall bear to
the imperial burdens shall be as one in four
teen.
Mr.. Gladstone admitted that the problem
of the relation of Protestant Ulster to the
rest Of Ireland had not yet been solved, but
announced himself as ready to accept any
suggestions in regard to it. He put the
whole grievance of Ireland in one sentence,
when he represented her as saying as the
colonies have done, "We don't want your
good laws, we want our OOn good laws"
The measures of the prime minister met
the general approval of the Parnellites, al
though Mr.. Parnell criticised some of their
minor points The chief speeches in opposi.

signed the position of secretary for Scotland,
and by Lord Randolph Churchill. Mr..
Trevelyan declared that he would prefer alb

rule.

on more than one occasion defeated the will

ArbOr Day.

Gov. Pingree follows the excellent prece-
dent, which he established last year, by ap-
pointing Saturday, April 81, as Arbor-day.
We wish he had still further followed the
precedent, by naming May 1st, the same day
as last year, and so have helped to establish
May day as an annual tree planting festival /;
but this, perhaps, is immaterial. The good
effect of last years Arbor day was clearly ap-
parent Many excellent works of rural i'm
provement were then undertaken, and best
of all, q sentiment for such Improvement was
developed and established by the action OF
the executive. We hope that in every Wind.
ham county town immediate preparations
will be made for the proper observance OF
the day. We shall be glad to print, on the
week following, complete record of every
thing done in the county, in compliance with
the Governors proclamation, whether by
communities, by societies or by individuals.

a wrangle in a caucus Of Republican sena-

Democratic lie. There is high authority for
stating that at the time referred to Mr.. Ed
munds had not opened his lips on the sub
ject. Senator Morrill,, now as for many
years, cheerfully recognizes that Senator Ed
munds leads in political work, while Mr.. Ed
munds recognizes with equal good feeling
and pride that Senator Morrill, leads in fiscal
matters. They have not come into antagon-
ism, personal or otherwise, aud they are firm
friends. This fact shows what desperate ef-

drive out of public life the man most feared

miles north of Patucket or Wameset Falls as
attempted, the line should be run due west
from point three miles north Of the great
