derous engine such as was never seen in the
streets of Portland before, and which moved
its unwieldy form over cobble stones and
I'D hills without the aid of horses or men.
1t is very creditable to the chief marshal
that procession so constituted should move
in such order as to give to the spectators
new pleasure with each moment, and vex no
one with unforeseen accidents.
SO varied and interesting column never
passed through the streets of Portland. The
gentlemen of the city government may feel
pardonable pride in the result of their la
bors. Far into the next century, and at fu-
ture celebrations the pageant will be re-
called by the children who yesterday gazed
in wonder on the gorgeous marine, the ranks
of stalwart sailors, the gunners and cannon,
the militiamen, the long column of happy
school children, the historical tableauX that
can fairly claim a place in the realms of art,
the lines Of coaches, the carriages of school
girls, the firemen, the commercial travellers,
and the long procession in which the trades
of the city showed their prosperity and
proved their enterprise.
And as the scene is recalled to future gen.
erations, it will beil d to our credit that the
show was elaborate as became a prosperous
city on its hundredth birthday; and was
onducted with an order and sobriety that
ould be excelled in no other city, State or
nation in the wide world.

The PAGEANT.

The sons and daughters of Portland,
whether they still live within her limits, or
have returned from other scenes, can have
no feelings but of pride and qualification at
the great display which they enjoyed yester-
day. For more than four hours the people
who thronged the streets witnessed the pro-
gress of a procession that was something
more than mere spectacle. In the first
place it was triumph of organization. At
precisely the appointed minute the Chief
Marshal was ready to give the command to
start; and from that instant the long column
moved without any interruption, or at least
any that was apparent to the spectators In
the great parade of veteran soldiers in this
city yer ago, the divisions were marshalled
with no more precision and the column
moved in no better form, although every par
ticipant, from general commanding to man
in the ranks, had been trained in the school
of actual warfare. The column which
marched through the streets of Portland
yesterday was certainly three miles in
length; it was so long that the van marched
from Lincoln Park to Washington street,
thence along Cumberland to the Western
portion of the city, passed along the princi-
pal streets in that vicinity and finally came
around to Lincoln Park again before the rear
of the last division was fairly under way
OF this long column, each division differed
from the others. There were United States
sailors and marines, drilled to move without
a sign Of disorder, there were State militia,
almost equally well drilled, Grand Army
men and the secret orders whose discipline
could be depended upon. But the remainder
of the procession was composed of school
children, of commercial travellers, of citizens
in carriages, of unwieldy floats and heavy
wagons, of fire engines, and last Of all pom

O'Denovan Rosa has let loose his tongue
again. In a speech at st. Louis Sunday the
noisy Fenian said that dynamite in the hands
of patriotic Irishmen was the least expensive
and the most effective method of obtaining
what they wanted. He said he could name
one hundred Irishmen in New York who
were ready to go to England and work out
Ireland's independence. 1t is fortunate for
the Irish race that Rosa was long ago found
out and has ceased to have any influence
with any but dregs of Irish society. No OPP
ponent of home rule could wish for bet
ter weapon to fight Mr.. Gladstone than pro-
gramme such as Rosa suggests would fur
nish, if reduced to practice. On several oc-
casions when England appeared to be on the
eve of doing some justice to Ireland the dag
gar of the assassin or the cartridge of the
dynamiter has arrested her intention and
steeled her against the cries of the suffering
peasantry. Nothing worse could happen to
the irish race than an outbreak of atrocities
such as Rosa suggests. Instead of freeing
ireland they would inevitably rivet her
chains more tightly

The SEIZED scHooNERs.

1t is quite evident that the Portland
schooners recently seized by the Dominion
customs authorities had not committed any
act which could be construed into violation
OF the treaty of 1915 even accepting Canada's
Interpretation of that treaty as the correct
one. Taking on board water is allowed by
the treaty. The offence of these vessels, if
offence there be, is one against the customs
laws, and consists in failing to enter at the
custom house before undertaking to do GER
tain things not unlawful in themselves. OF
course American vessels are bound to know
Canadian custom regulations and to obey
them, just as Canadian vessels are under OBJ
legations to know our laws and comply with
them, and are liable for a violation of Them
But the strictness with which customs reg
ulations are enforced against vessels is likely
to depend very largely upon the state of
feeling toward the country to which the yes
sells belong. Technical rules which had been
violated with impunity and without remark
even, a hundred times when good feel ng
prevailed, when the feeling changes are like
ly to be strictly enforced, largely to annoy
and embarrass. Probably the customs reg
ulations for violating which American YES
oSlo dlO nON oSlLtu, udNG U6tH NlOidlCu ny
them over and over again, without attention
being called to them. But Canada now
wants to annoy our fishermen, and she has
found way to do it in suddenly enforcing
to the letter lot Of practically obsolete GUS
toms regulations. From legal standpoint
her course is probably defensible, and we
have no redress. Of course the owners of
the seized vessels can appeal to the Canadian
government for remission Of the penalty,
but if it turns a deaf ear to their appeal
there appears to be no other remedy for
them. The lesson to be drawn from these
cases is that Canada is sharply ON the look
out for a legal excuse for Selling our vessels.
Our shipmasters therefore should make
close study Of Canadian customs regulations,
and avoid transgressing them in the smallest
particular. But our government should see
to it that Canadian vessels are held to a rig
id compliance with our customs laws.

TWO WEAK POINTS.
Now York EYnninn Post

President Cleveland'S policy in regard to
civil service reform has always had two
weak points. The first is his appointing to
several important places-the New York
custom house is one of them-persons who
were VIGOROUSLY either not in sympathy
with the reform OF openly hostile to it. The
single official for dislike of or contempt for
the rules by diSregarding or evading them.
The notion that such reform as this can be
carried out by agents who hate it is of course
a chimera.

HACK AND DRAY NUMBERS.

A I meeting of the Directors of the S. P. @. A.,
IA it was voted that the Agent be required
to prosecute the owner or driver Of every hack
dray or other conveyance found in use on our
streets, not having the order placed thereon ac-
cording to the provisions of the city ordinance.
In relation to the above notice, the question may
be asked what has the Society for the Proven
tion OF Cruelty to Animals to do with numbers ON
hacks, drays &c.?' 1t has very much to do with
it. One of the greatest difficulties which the agent
encounters frequently is TO ascertain whom to pro-
Secute, when, II the regulations required by the
city dtnancesIwereEenforced, he would have no
trouble in taking the number of each conveyance
andproSecuting the owners of the same. Citizens
could also take the number of such eonveyances
and report to the agent.

qurement, hereby notify all owners of hacks
