the MAYOR AND THE POLICE.

1t will be observed that the Hon. John w.
Deering, general commanding, has issued an
order through his chief of staff, Mr.. Benja-
min F. Andrews, to the deputy marshals
who are instructed to convey it to the lolice
force, forbidding the latter to meddle with
politics on pain of instant decapitation. 1t
appears that complaint has come to the COM
handing general that Officers OF the ponce
force while on duty, and wearing the uniform
of the city, are negleeting their duty by stop
ping citizens on the street, and INDUCING IN
the most offensive partisanship." The IA
cilities Of the commanding general for get
ting information are evidently very poor.
This business of stopping citizens ON the
street and INDUCING in the most offensive
partisanship, has been going on for the past
Tour years Of course Mr.. Deering knew
nothing about it or he would have rebuked it
before. And vet it is STRANGE that he
should have lived so long in Ignorance. To
everybody but Mr.. Deering the fact is we'll
known that it was largely through the efforts
and influence of the police that he was first
boosted into the Mayors chair. To everv-
body but him it is well known that the police
worked for him early and late, on duty and
off duty, wearing the city's uniform and in
citizens apparel. 1t has been current report,
too, that they worked at his solicitation,
but of course that must be a mistake. The
author of this proclamation could never have
encouraged them to do what he now rebukes
them for doing. Some enemies of Mr.. Deer
ing may take different view, but the great
majority of the Portland public which has
watched with admiration Mr.. behring's con-
sistent course with regard to the rum traffic
from the day he offered the order directing
the police to search rumshops in gentle
manly down to the time he dismissed
an officer because he could not swear who
the keeper of rumshop was can never be-
lieve Mr. Deering guilty inconsistency. Mr..
Deering is great and goodman.

In the last number of the Nineteenth Cen
tnry an article appeared from the pen of Mr.
Arnold Foster in which this statement was
made. "Irishmen were at the bottom of the
Molly Mcguire conspiracy in Pennsylvania
Irishmen plotted against the officials and the
Chinese in San Francisco; the Tammany
ring was largely supported by Irish citizens,
and even the Boston police were tempered
with by the Irish politicians of that city"
To controyert this view the Republic of
Boston sent circulars to number Of promi-
nent men requesting such denials as they
might be able to make. Governor Robinson
Charles A. Dana of the Sun, General Butler,
Congressman Curtin of Pennsylvania, Con-
gresham Lowering, ex-Mayor Palmer of
Boston and Police Commissioner Osborne of
Boston, all sent in vigorous denials, which
convict the distinguished Englishman of in
excusable ignorance of American affairs. We
make an extract from Editor Dana's letter,
for it contradicts an opinion that has gained
considerable acceptance:
| cannot now recall the name of a single citizen
OF irish birth who was known as a supporter of
the Tammany ring; and it is notorious that the
head OF it the late William NJ Tweed, was full
blooded American. At the same time one of the
most conspicuous of its adVersaries the late
Charles O'Connor, though born in this country,
was thoroughly Irish in heart and sympathy.
Another distinguished enemy Of Mr.. Tweed's
ring was his successor as the leader of Tammany
Hall, the present Mr. John Kelly a man of Irish
descent, and more determined foe of every kind
of corruption and OF public dishonesty has never
lived

Boston Journal correspondent re-
Gently had interviews with Collector Ander-
son, Gen. C. P. Afattocks, Ex-Goy. Plaisted,
Col F. E. Heath, Ex-Gov Morrill,, and Hon.
John L. Stevens on the question of biennial
elections and sessions. All but the last two
are unqualifedly opposed to returning either
to annual elections or to annual sessions OF
the legislature. Gov. Morrill, and Mr.. Stew
ems are inclined to favor annual sessions of
the legislature though both oppose annual
elections. Whatever the strength of the
theoretical arguments in favor of annual
elections and sessions may be it is quite clear
that the greatmajority of the people of Maine
do not want the present arrangement dis
turbed.

The Industrial Journal says the ST. Croix
cottonimill has never yet paid its cost to its
owners, and that the $4,000 paid out month
ly in wages has come partly from the
pockets of the stockholders. This may be a
good reason for cutting down wages, but the
cut down ought not to be confined to the OPP
eratives. The officers should share in it.

The Hennepin canal scheme is to get fav-

was first proposed as a military project some
twenty-three years ago and has been asking
aims from the government ever since. The
estimated cost is $9,00O,00o, and its pro-
jectors think it willpay. But if the prospect
of its paying was very brilliant we can be
sure that it would not be asking for govern
ment aid. 100000 could be easily raised
from private individuals for an enterprise
that promised fair return for the invest

Our Washington correspondent is not able
to state positively that in the hearing these
hearings are secret before the Senate
Finance Committee on Thursday Collector
Chase mentioned the Hon. William l.. Put
nam among the lawyers who endorsed his
acts in the count-out. But he is able to state
positively that in the printed brief which the
Collector submitted to the Committee Mr..
Putnam is represented as having endorsed
the Tabulator's act as in accordance with the
strict letter of the law. One of the acts Of
the Tabulator was the counting and tabula-
ting the votes thrown in the towns of New
Gloucester and Raymond for Isaac F. Quina6y
for Isaac f. Quil1by, and another of the Tab
ulator's acts was the refusing to tabulate and
count votes thrown in the town Of Ashland
for John Bu1ndm for John Bufftdm No
body for moment will believe that Mr.. Put
nam pronounced both these acts within the
letter of the law. The fact is that Mr. Put
nam is one of the very few Democrats who
has a clean record on this count-out iniquity.

NOT AN ERA FOR SUCH MEN TO LIVE IN.
Boston Transcript.
What would j. Wilson Croker say ii he
were alive now, with a veritable working
man in the British Cabinet? He could hard
ly refrain from believing that the foundations
OF the great political deep were broken up,
and that anarchy and social ruin would
speedily come. He never forgaye Robert
Peel for his somersault on the corn laws,
and thought the first reform bill sung the re-
QUEEN OF the British constitution, the over
throw of aristocraey and destruction OF the
House of Lords. If such man could come
to life he would want to go back to the dead
men at once.
AN AWKWARD POSITION.
n Y Tribune.
The Postmaster-G General in his efforts to
get the better of the American steamship
lines, ought to be careful not to convict him
self OF inconsistency or something worse.
When he refused to give these corporations
the extra pay Congress voted to them, and
they refused to carry the mails, Mr.. Villas de-
clared that he didn't care; he could get the
Nations foreign letters carried just as well
by somebody else. So he arranged the fish
ing-smack transportation system, and when
the merchants and traders of the country
said it was not good, the head of the Post
office Department declared that ON the con-
trary it was better service than when he
used the steamship lines. If the Postmaster
General told the truth then, why is he anx-
ious now to secure the re enactment of the
old law compelling American steamship
lines to carry the mail when it was offered
and to take what the government chose to
pay? Isn't it clear that he is in an awkward
position and wants Congress to help him.
but that he still is spitefully determined not
to pay the steamship companies for their
service?

boats are of decided advantage to steam
boats, both on the Ohio and the upper
Mississippi. You ask why. Well, it is
easily explained. In times of difficult nav
igation like this steamboats, frequently have
to go to the banks, while part of the crew
take yawl and go over certain stretches of
the river to sound and ascertain if there is
sufficient water for the boat to go over with
out striking the bottom. In many instances
the hatboats relieve the steamboats, of that
trouble. When a fatboat goes over a bad
bar at a time when the wind is calm that is
substantial evidence that she is drifting
along In the right channel. Steamers fol-
low directly in the track of the fiat, and in
nine cases out of ten pass over safely, and
consequently save heavy loss of time In
some cases, on very calm but dark nights,
these fiat or produce boats run at night,
and boats that would otherwise have to lay
over at the bank follow them right up.
