TIE PISTOL AS AN ARBITER.

1.-THE pen is mighty mighty apt to get
you into trouble unless you back IL with
the sword, " said one OF TnE APPEALS es-
tcemed contemporaries the other day. We
regretted TO see this statement in print.
The fact Of being right is protection enough
TO the journalist who is honest and con-
scientious. Men who write in order to
make trouble by wayof gratifying personal
spleen, may find il necessary to wear side
arms in peaceable community, but the
journalist who has n proper sense OF his
obligations rarely finds II necessary. As n
rule, the practice Of pistol carrying argues
lack OF both moral and physical courage.
This remark is general in It's application.
A few days ago the President Of tho Mem
phis Taxing District fined man for
carrying pistol, who, in his ca
pacity ms conductor Of train, had
borrowed a weapon, honestly bcliev-
ing that without II his life would be
endangered should he attempt TO collect
fare from drunken men who had taken
possession OF u car. ltappcared ut the time
10 bc an unnecessarily strict Interpretation
Of tho statute. Had the excuse been nc.
ceptcd, the community would have sane
toned the magistrates lcniency But IL is
better that the enforcement Of the law
against pistol-canying should be too strict
than that there should be permitted a lati-
tudc which would tend TO foster the dan
gcrous practice. Rather should the man
who conceals a pistol ON his person bear
in mind the penalty which he challenges
by the net. lie would then regard the
net Ms serious business, and consider well
his justification for risking the penalty Of
the law. The two men who died 40 her
ribly in the streets Of Jackson, Miss,
Tuesday should be living today. The nm.
fairness Of the pistols arbitnmcnt was
never more clearly revealed. What was
it, decision? That both should die. To
put it in It's simplest way; II Gen. Adams

About Northport Hotel S.

One of the requirements here shown hy the
present season is the necessity of IL new hotel
on the shore, and either on or near the
Grounds. There is Il class of vacation>ts and
summer visitors who would like to spend an
outing, be il day, week or month here, but
cannot for lack of the right kind of hotel ac-
commodatons.
One of the most important points to be con-
sidered in speaking of new hotel will be its
location, and that location must he on the
shore. We consider this Il very import mt
matter. A seaside hotel located so far inla vi
it cannot he seen from the water is misnomer.
The coming hotel for Northport must be locat-
ed on the shore with Il water frontage. and
needs to be SO placed as to be plainly and fav-
orably seen from the water and thus advertise
itself to every passing traveller by vessel and
steamer.
If the Broadway and PenohScot houses had
been located on the shore with water 'front.'
age, they would be filled with visitors every
season, and the same is true to some extent
with the Ocean house. So whatever else may
be done, the coming Northport hotel must be
built on the shore.
There is no lack of good locations either
above or below the Grounds, but in either case
a new wharf will be necessary. If built on
the grounds the wharf is already here, and if
located quite near, perhaps an arrangement
could be made to use the present one. Sea

Gen. Harrison's Touching Letter

TO A BEREAVED FATHER ON TIE DEATH OF
HIS son,
Col. Samuel Merrill of the Seventieth lndi-
ana regiment has in his possession a letter
written by Gen. Harrison to a father in refer
ence to the burial of his son, who fell in the
battle Of Peach Tree Creek. The letter was
written in the trenches before Atlanta and, as
Col. Merrill says. shows that Gen. Harrison
was not only great as soldier, but had heart
as tender as woman'S. The letter reads:
My Dear Sir: You son was inferred with all
the care possible, in a box of heavy dressed
lumber found in a mill near the battlefield, and
the place Of his burial can easily be identified
should you desire at any time to dsinter his re-
mains. l trust you will permit me to tender to
you, his bereaved parents, and to the yonng
wife, whose widowhood has followed so soon
upon her bridal, my heartfelt sympathy in the
heavy grief which has fallen upon you. Your
sons courage and enthusiasm led bin into the
fight when his condition of health might have
excused his remaining in the rear. The only
sources of consolation to which l can direct
you are the promises of God to the afflicted,
and the fact that your son fell bravely fighting
for the country and government of Washing
ton and the fathers. am sir, truly yours,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

"On the Grand Banks"

1t is Il winsome picture that MIR. Blaine
draws of the fishing fleet on the Grand Banks.
The great ship on which he jcurncyed was
like a moving promontory: the big seas were
rolling heavil; in, but the men in the little
dories, unmndfu alike of the great ship and
the rising and settling seas. were taking in
their travis and thinking of the little children
afar away Oh the shores of New England that
must have shoes and mittens when the winter
comes down on those coasts. We landsmen
have not much conception OF the work of
those men. Could We join them in their eX-
pericnce for three days that experience
would be something to talk about so long
as we might live. With them it is but
second nature, and no one realizes what souls
are within them until some time in some ex-
treme emergency they are called out. They
the forts in the Lower Mississippi and up the
that welcomed them, was, to them, but SIM
the Banks. Some of them were to die of
course, but hundreds of them die annually in
their unequal fight with wind and wave. As
them leaving no sign, SO they looked on the
hearts and unb!anched faces. The thought
behind all this is. how weak is the policy that
with such material in plenty in our land, no
effort, that is, no legitimate effort, is made to
regain our old prestige on the ocean, and
among the nations to take our rightful place as
