The people of st. John do not mean to
give the Dominion government any chance
to back out of its intention to send the mail
steamers to St John instead of Portland.
Their Board Of Trade have passed resolu-
tion thanking the government and promis-
ing to appoint committee to ascertain what
improvements in harbor accommodations
may be necessary 'for accommodating the
anticipated increase in our trade" 1t would
be funny If, after all this trouble, the steam
ers should still not be able to 90 to St. John

The South Carolina legislature is strong
ly in favor Of prohibition, especially the
SEM ate. A bill has been passed applying to
Anderson and Laurens counties, making it
misdemeaner to sell, give away, barter or ex-
change liquors, and requiring all railroad
agents to keep public record of all pack
ages of liquor received, the address, consign-
ee, etc. Any persons who has liquors ship
ped to him marked in way calculated to
deceive as to the contents, is liable to
years imprisonment No person can give
friend a drink in his own house If it be near
his place Of business This beats the Maine
law out of sight

1t seems to be definitely settled that Ben
jamin Bunker, esq, late of the Fairfield
Journal, is to start Democratic paper in
Wateryille. He has leased an office, and is
now much absorbed in bordering over
name for the coming infant. His Judgment
is said to stand in suspense between the
names Dolen-East Democrat, Pine Tree
State and Frozen Truth. The first of these
psmes, it strikes us, might be very appropri-
ate II slightly changed to Do,cn-Cdst Demo-
crdt: but on the whole the last, Frozen Truth,
seems the most accurate. The cold days
the Maine Democracy have experienced late
ly must have accustomed them to such diet;
and they will undoubtedly snap at Colonel
Bunker's sheet like mackerel at bare hook.

1t is understood at Portsmouth that the ex-
animation of ship-of-war Kearsarge shows
her to be in such sound condition that the
navy department will be warranted in going
on with repairs If this is so it is a matter
of great interest. No vessel in the Ameri-
can navy is more famous, not even the Hart
ford The duel off Cherbourgh was most
memorable event, fought in the presence of
the sailors of many nations. while the heights
around the French town were crowded with
spectators such as have rarely witnessed a
naval engagement. The Kearsarge's antago-
mist was the most famous privateer that ever
ioated, and her effectiveness as a fighter
was supposed to be increased by English art
and skill. Winslow's victory was a specta-
Gle Of American valor not equalled in Old
World waters since the days of Paul Jones
and Decatur. The longer the vessel that
won this victory can keep the seas, the long
er will the lingering pride in our navy keep
alive

Mss Metz, the servant girl, whose testi-
mony furnished such strong corroboration of
the evidence of Fullgraff and Duffy in the
McQuade trial, has been the recipient of a
number of threatening letters since she was
on the witness stand. One of them threatens
assassination if she undertakes to testify
again. The boodlers appear to have plenty of
friends who are ready to go to almost any
length to save them.

Senator Edmunds argues that the repeal of
the tenure of Office law would be return to
the spoils system and a blow to civil service
reform. Mr.. Edmunds was In the Senate in
Johnson's time when the original law was
passed and is very reluctant to see it swept
entirely from the statute book. His argu-
ment that repeal will will be a blow
to civil service reform isn't going to impress
anybody very much, however

Senator Van Wyck Of Nebraska has intro
duced bin in the Senate for the election of
Senators by popular vote. OF course he
does not expectt hatit will pass, or that it can
get consideration, even. What he is seeking
to 40 is to impress upon the country a sense
Of the great popularity that he thinks he
enjoys in his State. The performance is
rather too thin to produce the desired effect.

Mr.. Morrison will try to get his tariff bill

THE GENTLEMAN who made such a

Some philanthropic people in Brooklyn
propose to furnish hot and substantial meals
to the poor, during the winter, at the price
of one cent per meal. Liberal gifts for the
outfit, such as crockery, stoves and other fix
lures have been contributed and it is ex-
pected TO make the enterprise pay its own
expenses fiom the receipts. The charity is
called the ST. Luke's Coffee station society,
and four retail depots are to be established
in as many different sections of the city, and
the meals provided for one cent each will be
as follows For breakfast. from 6 to a.
M, half pint of coffee with sugar and
milk and thick slice of bread; for dinner,
from II a. m. to D. M, dish of strong
soup Of meat and vegetables with bread; for
supper, from to 8 p. M, half pint of oat-
meal porridge and pure milk. A horse and
wagon for the distribution of the supplies
has been loaned and women who serve the
meals will receive 10 per cent of the receipts
and their board in place Of salary.

The bill looking to the establishment of a
reformatory for women provides that after
the institution is established all sentences of
females shall be to it, provided the sentences
be for not less than three months nor more
than ten years and that any female who shall
beasecond time adiudged guilty cf any of the
onences for which she is now sent to the
House Of Correction, or of larceny or intoxi-
cation or disturbance shall be confined in the
reiormatory for not less than six months
nor more than three years. 1t is intended to
keep The Inmates ofthe reformatory employed
in some useful work, especially in the max
ing OF Clothing and other articles needed by
the inmates of the State Prison and the
various Jails, and to instruct them in common
branches Of learning and otherwise educate
them to become useful members OF society
A bill Of similar purport was, we believe,
presented to the last legislature, but failed
to pass. There can be no doubt that such in
situations as the bill contemplates have in
States where they exist been the means of
doing great amount Of good, The bill de-
serves the careful attention of the legisla-
ture.

The shoe factory at Skowhegan is shut
down with no prospect that it will be start
ed again for the present. There is nothing
at issue between the employers and en-
ployed as to wages-all that has been ami

say that in order to carry on their business
successfully they must have the management
Of it. This privilege is denied them by those
they employ. hence the standstill in bushes.
