Bar Harbor
Ex-Governor William Sprague, of Rhode
Island, is chief of police at Narragansett
Pier.
OF all his decorations the late Emperor
Frederick most priced the medal which was
given TO him for saving man from drown

The great prima donna, Mme Christine
Nilsson, with the second of her two farewell
concerts at the Albert Hall, London. has
taken her formal departure from public life.
Mrs. Harrison is described as matronly,
yet vivacious, with brown eyes, dark hair,
without line of gray, comedy features, and
lips that smile and yet are firm. She has the
happy faculty Of making guests feel at once
at home. She moves much in society, is
great favorite among other women, and
makes them her warm friends It is COM
mon saying that she would make as charm
ing mistress of the White House as she is
the delightful matron Of a quieter home. AS
her girlhood was passed in collegiate at
mosphere, both by opportunity and inclna-
ton she is of intellectual tastes. She is
prominent and active member of ladies'
literary society, and her reading is wide and
varied. While fond of classical literature.
she Is always fully Informed as to the writ
ings OF contemporary authors. But she is
especially devoted to art. A picture gallery
has more charms for her than fiction or the
drama, She is skilled in painting on china,
as the decorated pieces which fill her side
board and adorn her parlor attest, and she
has also done some admirable work in water
cOlors. She is active in charitable work, and
is especially devoted to the interests of the
Indianapolis Orphans Home. Like her hus
band, she is also active in church, and both
are constant attendants at the First Presby-
terrain church Of Indianapolis.
A valuable relic has been received from
Detroit by General Harrison in the shape of
the original manuscript of President Will
liam Henry Harrison's inaugural address,
being the copy from which he read at his
Inauguration ON the 4th of March, 1S41.
This interesting relic is sent to General Har-
rison by Colonel Fred Morley of Detroit.
When General w. II. Harrison was elected
President in 1910, there was living at North
Bend respectable young colored man
named George De Baptiste. When the
President-elect went on to Washington to
to assume the duties of his office, he took De
Baptlste with him as personal attendant.
The 4th OF March was a raw, cold day, and
the President wore blue cloak for protec-
ton against the cold. Before beginning to
read his address he removed the cloak and
handed it to DE Baptiste who was standing
by, to hold. AT the conclusion of his adj
dress he threw his cloak over him and at the
same time handed De Baptiste the MANN
script to take care Of Within q month of
that time the President died. The mann
script remained in the possession of De Ban
tiste, who soon after removed to Detroit.
Shortly after the war Colonel Morley ex-

All the Democratic statesmen, Mills in
cluded, who took part in the Tammany pow
WOW on the Fourth, took great pains to i'm
press upon their hearers that they did not
mean free trade. 1t is obvious enough that
there is to be renewal of the attempt of the
Democracy four years ago to run away from
the issue. But the st. Louis platform is too
strongly free trade to allow of another sue
cessful performance Of this kind.

The Portland PRESS undertakes to explain why
wages IN employments not affected by the tariff
are nlgher than IN industries that are protected.
Il says; They are protected by something else.
Many occupations are protected by their charac-
ter and more etfectualy than they could be by
protected by the impossibity of importing brick
houses. The occupation of a l0ngshoreman is
obviously protected by its very nature. The
brlcklayer cannot suffer from foreign competition
neither can the longshoreman." Very well.
Now VIII the PRESS please address itself to an
other question. II the bricklayer longshoreman
and other workingmen are so Situated that they
can get living without any aid from government
and IN the nature of things cannot receive such
where Is the justice OF taxing them in order to
maintain industries in which lower wages are
PRESS contend that, because the bricklayer Is 40
situated that he can get living without taxing
ay Tor his benefit he sholld therefore be
don't see anything right about that, and humby
ask TO be enlightened.
The paragraph quoted from the PRESS
was an answer to the question of the Bangor
Commercial as to the reason why the wages
in certain industries and occupations not
protected by the tariff should be as large as
in industries that are SO protected. Now
the Rockland Opinion wants to know some
thing. Why, it practically asks, should one
man be taxed entirely for another's benefit
AhO ahoNSA w budt 10 OUflOuS-ue 6nOulQQ't
be. But the PRESS claims that protection
when administered as a system does no such
thing. 1t claims that it is benefit, not only
to workingmen directly affected by it, but to
all workingmen. The PRESS claims that pro-
lection tends to diversity industries and build
up manufacturing establishments which
would never exist but for it; and by so
doing greatly increases the chances of the
laboring mans finding profitable employ
ment. Any system which increases the gem
eral prosperity of the country is a benefit to
every workingman, because it increases his
opportunities of gaining a livelihood. If
protection does this, and that is the claim of
its friends, then it is for the interest of the
laboring man, whether he be cotton spin
ner or bricklayer to sustain it. The Rock
land Opinion assumes, in its question, that
one man is being taxed solely for another's
benefit. Protectionists do not admit the cor
rectness of the assumption.

The condition of Portland schoolhouses, as
described by the State Board of health, is
far from what it should be. Only one school
house is reported in thoroughly satisfactory
condition. In many of them the light is bad,
in almost all of them the ventilation is de-
fectiye, while in the North School, light,
ventilation and drainage all appear to be
abominably bad. This condition Of things
ought not, however, to be laid at the door of
the school committee. They have repeated

No one will deny tn at the English are
thoroughly familiar with the steps toward
free trade They have travelled the road
for themselves, and now they are engaged in
attempting to persuade other nations to
make the journey. OF the utterances of Mr..
Cleveland, who, the Democratic organs anx-
iously assure us, is not Free trader, our
English neighbors talk very plainly and with
a truthfulness that will strike panic among
those who think they can make out Cleve-
land good enough protectionist for New
Jersey and a good enough free trader for
Texas. 1T would be hardly possible" says
the London Times, after citing passages
from Mr.. Cleveand's latest utterances ON
the tariff, ''to put the free trade case more
clearly or more strongly. The arguments
which President Cleveland uses are those
which Mr.. Golden used to employ forty-fiye
years ago, and which any English free trader
would employ now. They are purely free
trade arguments, and as such we are
very glad TO see Mr.. Cleveland using
them, though sorry for the popular
infatuation which makes it danger
Gus to give them their right name"
The London Daily News: the great Glad
stonian paper, is equally frank with its Con-
sentative contemporary, in its appreciation
of Mr.. Cleveland's free trade position.
Speaking of Mr.. Cleveland, the News says:
He discusses the principles at issue in the
struggle and shows that he is Free Trade
candidate in everything but name. The
| reservation is an important one for American
party purposes" The News understanding
very well, as does every friend of American
industries, that this reservation is merely
for political purposes, takes some trouble to
explain to its readers the fact. with this bit
of interesting assurance: "The President
feels compelled to characterize the attempt
te brand him Free-Trader as deception of
his enemies. For all that, the electoral con-
| fiict now in progress is conflict between
Free Trade and Protection. and nothing
less" The News hits the nail on the head
| so squarely that it almost seems that it must
have heard our neighbor, the Argus. when it
declared: "A protective tariff, as perma-
manent policy, is as absurd as il is uniust -

The committee appointed by the New
foundland government to report upon the
condition and future of the fisheries report
that the great bays that were once teeming
with fish are now almost deserted. The
seal, salmon and herring fisheries show
corresponding decline, all of which operates
very seriously to the disadvantage OF the
fishermen. The remedies proposed are strict
supervision of the fishing grounds and the
propagation of fish by artificial means. In
reference to the application Of the latter
means of increasing the supply of fish to the
improvement of the cod fisheries they say
that single female cod weighing seventy
five pounds will yield in a single season nine
millions of eggs,:and smaller fish from two
and half to five millions The greater por-
tion of these eggs are either never fortified
or are destroyed, but by artificial propaga-
tion it is claimed THAT fully ninety per cent
can be Matched and the young guarded until
they are able to look out for themselves
The committee say that the great bays of
Newfoundland, extending inland in some
cases for from fifty to ninety miles. offer ad-
vantages of peculiarly favorable character
for the artificial Matching of fish and for
their preservation until they attain a suffi-
cient growth to be allowed to 60.

most nauseous dose of crow has had to
be eaten by the People and Patriot, the
Democratic organ Of Concord, N. II. Just
before the st. Louis convention it said:
OF all the silly campaign yarns in circulation at
present, that 10 the effect that concerted move
ment is under way for the nomination Of Hon
Allan &. Thurman of Ohio for Vice President on
the Democratic ticket is certainly the most sense
less. Mr. Thurman is about seventy five years of
age, and physically debilitated by rheumatism.
His acceptance OF such nomination is utterly
out of the question.
The People and Patriot probably derives
consolation from the fact that the bandanna
is all right, and that the candidate has been
entirely overshadowed by the handkerchief.
