Gov. Robie's Opinion.

PORTLAND, Me-, May 2l.-Gov. Robie
said to day: To my mind the seizure Of
the David j. Adams and Ella M. Doughty
was blunder on the part Of the Canadian
Government an outrage on our flag and
a gross injustice to the fishermen ami own
ers. Lam very confident there is in Maine
but one sentiment, we desire peace. We
regret that shadow Of war should have
been even but for a moment cast upon US,
out at the same time we desire to have the
rights OF our fishermen receive from the
National Government the same protection
to our property when in Canadian waters
as when at home. Wise craftsmanship
will be demanded to carry up through the
present trouble without loss of dignity or
sacrifice of right. We look to Washington
for that craftsmanship. The administra-
ton has yet TO delare its policy. l have
no criticism 10 make in advance of that
declaration.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 2l.-The
House Committee on Judiciary to day in-
structed Chairman Tucker to report favor
ably an amendment to the Constitution
declaring polygamy unlawful. There was

not agree to the action OF the committee,
and he only desired further time, to con-

tee will report the amendment on Monday,

LEONAINIE

leonainie-angels named her,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In smile OF white:
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes Of bloomy
Moonshine, and they brought her to mo
In solemn night.
In solemn night Of summer,
When my heart OF gloom
Blossomed up to greet tho conner
Like Il rose in bloom;
All forobodings that distressed mo
forgot as Joy earessed me,
tLying joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doomD
Only spake the little lisper
In the angel tongue:
Yet 1, listening, heard her whisper:
'Songs are only sung
Here below that they may grove YOU
Tales are told you to deceive you
While her love is young"
Then God smiled and it was morning
Matchless and supreme;
Heavens glory seemed adorning
Earth with it's esteem:
Every heart but mine seelnod gifted
With her voice of prayer, and lifted
From mo like dream.

No New Registration.

Gov. McEaery has prepared The
following circular, which will be
forwarded to tho State tax assessors in
the several parishes:
Sir-The General Assembly At the
late session appropriated only $4,000
for The payment Of clerks of rpgistra-
ton. This is not sufficient to pay the
full salary of said clerks. The clerks
appointed must therefore accept the
office with the understanding that they
wili'rrceive only their pro rata of said
amount appropriated.
l call your attention to s .ction 36 Of
Act No. 1913, approved April 10, 1880.
You will see that the appointment OF
Il clerk is for the convenience Of the
assessor. l hope that no assessor will
make application tor clerk unless one
is absolutely essential.
AT the present congressional election
there is no new registration to be made
and elections have been SO frequent in
be done, only revision Of the regis-
tration and the registration of those
entitled to vote who have not heretofore
been registered. A due consideration
for the State and in the interest of
economy will suggest the impropricty
of an application for a clerk except In
case where it is absolutely necessary
that one should be provided. EVIDENCE
of this, in tho form Of an affidavit,
must accompany each application.

Sir Charles Dilkc'S Fall.

OF Sir Charles Dixie:
uHis fall is like that Of a tower. lie
stood high above every other rising
English statesman, and but for what
has happened he must have been
Prime Minister after Gladstone. He
would have had hardly even a COM
petitur for the position. lie had made
his whole life oae Of training for pol
itica. success. He had sough, cx,
periencc OF the most varied kind, had
Travelled all over the world and knew
most Eur0pean countries As wei a3 he
knew his own. He had worn the
Geneva Cross on many u battlefield in
order 10 see something Of battle and
campaign. lie was intimately ac.
uuainled with the politics and men in
Europe, America, Australia and the
East He knew Russia as vel as Turkey
| India and China, and was to all ap
pearauct actually cut out for the part
OF Prime Minister, who was as
Secretary Of Foreign Affairs. lie is sl,l
what we in English politics consider /
young man, only in his fortythirt
year, and now, AS Evelyn says o
Charles H., Now il all in tho dust.
The whole story of English public iif
contains no other example Of such
career thus cut short, of 80 splendid
rise and 80 sudden aud terrible fall.
