A Fourth Of July Orators Adven-
tures-
Bangor Commercial. I


Winterport had one Of the best celebra-
tions which occurred in this vicinity. An
amusing thing occurred there in the after
noon. Dr. ID. A. Robinson of this city, was
announced to deliver an Grafton in Union
Hall at 2 O'Clock, and at the appointed time
the people gathered there. Prayer was be-
ing offered by one of the clergymen of the
town when suddenly there was an alarm Of
fire and everyone rushed out of the hall.
The clergyman, after he had concluded his
invocation, followed. The orator Of the day
having nothing else to do went into one OF
the dressing rooms and sat down to read
MAGAZINE. In short time he heard noise
in the hall, as il the people were returning,
but supposing he would be sent for when
wanted he continued reading. Some min
utes passed when he heard noise on the
stage and going out he found the nall empty
and the janitor removing the speakers desk.
s'Whv. where have you been?" said that Of
fetal. This hall has been packed and we
have hunted all over town for you" The
orator explained his whereabouts and the
ianitor asked him to wait for few moments.
He did so and a band soon announced to the
people that the lost orator had been found.
The hall was soon filed and the grafton,
most eloquent and patriotic address, was de-

the slough, the mud and water being about

the Count Of Paris to the Conservative
mayors Of France, in which he says; "You

nance against an extravagant and tyrannical
administration, which Is the willing tool Of
the party which compromises the republic
and which will cause its downfall The day
is near when we must all unite to reconstitute
and establish the government of France up

given the communes the liberty 1t promised
them. The Republicans consider any means
lustihable to secure for themselves a major

Is thus divided into oppressors and Oppress-

budgets, 1t no longer disposes Independently
OF its resources, and parents no longer cOn-

ephemeral government may promise to re
store your lost liberties, but do not expect it
to be able to keep its promise. Its first care
would rather be to destroy the liberties re-
naming to you. A monarchy alone can re-
store to you your lost liberties and establish
order In the communes and In the State"

Tariff Talk.

| WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE House went
| into committee of the whole on the tariff bill,
the pending amendment being that offered
by Mr.. Cannon of Illinois to the sugar sched-
| ule.
Mr.. Kelley of Pennsylvania announced
himself to be a Republican, devoted to the
doctrines of his party and to the utterances
Oh It's national conventions. He was pro-
tectlonist, ard believed that the system of
protective duties had developed the country
to its present industrial position, and was
essential to the maintenance of that position.
he had been surprised to hear the gentle
man from Illinois (Mr. Cannon make an as
sault upon the platform recently adopted by
the Republican party. He then quoted from
the Chicago platform the protection plank,
ana ne regretted that the doctrine there emu
merated had been assailed from the seats of
Republican members. From the remarks
made by these gentlemen he dissented in the
name OF the Republican party, at whose
Dirtn ne had been, and to whose interests he
had "a been devoted from that time to this.

gar In Louisiana: War was the science of
destruction, and Louisiana was slowly re-
covering from five years of war; during
which her cane fields were overgrown and
her machinery went to decay.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois said that the gen.
tleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelley, who
nad SO much more reputation in the country
IMAM ne had, had seen proper to arraign the
amendment and his (Mr. Cannon's) position
as un-R Republican. If the gentleman was

convention meant what it said, and if he

feelings save those of kindness towards the
gentleman from Pennsylvania If he differ

begged to assure the gentleman that he did

ask him to sit still and listen to him place
the party to which they both belonged in a
position which to his mind, it did not occu-
py.
Nh Cannon quoted the tariff plank of the
platform, and asserted that, according to his
best Judgment the amendment ha had offered

tlons. lie argued that the tariff on sugar
was revenue tariff and not protective

The Naval Academy.

The report of the Board of Visitors to the
Naval Academy has been submitted to Sec
retary Whitney. The board recommends
that the academic course be reduced from
six to four years. The term of six years was
adopted for the purpose of reducing the num-
Der of appointments to the navy, but the
reason for such regulation does not now
exist, as the number of appointments is now
restricted by law to the aggregate number of
vacancies occurring in each year in the corps
to which appointments are made, the ap-
pointments Of graduates being not less than
ten annually. 1t is believed that the pro-
posed change will be alike beneficial to the
government and the cadets. The service of
the latter at sea for two years is without val
ne and entails considerable expense, while it
is manifestly to their injury that they should
thus be kept from preparation for those out
side pursuits, which they may propose to
follow in life. The recommendation of the
Academic Board for the separation of the
First Glass of cadets into divisions at the
beginning OF the fourth year of the course,
to be thereafter directed into special courses
OF study designed to fit them for the particu-
lar branches of the naval service to which
any OF them are destined to be appointed.
meets the approval of the board, and legisla-
tlon to that end is deemed desirable. The
discipline, drill, practical exercises, adminis-
tration and police regulations at the acade-
my are all highly praised: The board sug-
gests Encouragement of studies for the last
year in order that those cadets who have ex-
hibited special taste and talent for engineer
ing, and who should therefore be assigned to
duty in the Engineer Corps, may receive ad-
diti0nal practical training. The request of
the superintendent for a new and fully
equipped vessel of modern type, with mod
ern guns, for the training Of the cadets, is
heartily endorsed by the board, as is also the
enlistng of permanent crew of sailors for
the practice cruises.
