We are informed that at the town meeting
to be heidi in Deering hext Monday PROPOSE
tion will be made to raise committee to
confer with the city government of Portland
with view to an arrangement for joint
application to the next Legislature for the
annexation of the town to the city provided
it can be made a condition that all taxes for
the purposes of paying interest or principal
of the railroad debt of the city be separated
from the general municipal taxation, and
make separate levy upon the territory en-
braced within the present limits of the city,
1t strikes us that such division of debt as
is here proposed is not practicable and would
not be just to the citizens of Portland. The
tax rate of Portland is but little If any high
er, than that of Deering. and our rate is 60
ing down while behring's is going up. If
Deering should be annexed large expen-
diture would be necessary to provide the
latter with sewers and lights ana other i'm
provements, which would be insisted upon.
These would enure largely to the benefit of
the annexed territory, while the people of
old districts would have to pay for the most
of them. If Deering intiicts this burden on
us it ought not to refuse to bear some of our
burdens in return.

that majority of our citizens, without re-

The discussion on the succession to the
German throne and the constitutional pro-
visions which hedge it about has brought out
some facts which seem to give an interest
ing explanation of the jealousy which some
of the Germans have manifested toward Sir
Morel Mackenzie, the eminent English
physician who attended the Crown Prince at
San Reno. The Crown Princess, now the
Empress, is a daughter of Queen Victoria,
and, not unnaturally, is sufficiently long
headed to look out for herself and family in
the most trying circumstances. She it was
who brought Sir Morell Mackenzie to see the
Crown Prince; and Sir Morell Mackenzie it
was who declared his illustrious patient did
not have cancer, although eminent Ger
mans declared to the contrary. To under
stand how this position of DR.. Mackenzie's
was very fortunate If taken on purely pro-
fessional grounds, and very sbrewd if taken
in obedience to the wishes Of the Crown
Princess, it is necessary to examine the con-
stitutional provisions regarding the success
sion of the German Emperors. The consti
tuition Of the Empire does not directly and
specifically provide for the succession but it
vests the Crown of the Emperor in the King
of Prussia. Whoever is King of Prussia is
Emperor of Germany. Therefore the laws
Of succession to the Prussian throne are the
laws of succession to the throne of the
Empire. The Prussian constitution, which
breathes much Of the spirit of the old Elect
ors of Brandenburg who were the founders
of the House of Hohenzollern, refuses to
contemplate a monarch not capable of being
a warrior, and provides in its sixteenth Sec
ton that monarch who is physically incap-
able of leading an army. must give way to
his heir, or If he is minor, to the next Of
kin, who shall govern under the title of
Regent. So, while the right of succession to
the crown descends in male line by the
rule of Primogeniture, and the heir apparent
becomes ipse juro King the moment the
throne is vacant, the right to govern as well
as reign depends upon his capacity and
health. So, il the new Emperor is incapable,
the constitutional course is for Prince Will
liam next in line to declare himself Regent
and convene the two houses of the Prussian
Parliament On the Parliament rests the
duty of deciding whether the condition of
the King is such as to render regency nee
essary. If Frederick is suffering from a can
Ger, his disease is doubtless incurable, and he
is plainly untitled to lead an army. But if the
disease is not a cancer, it may be durable, in
which case his disability is only temporary
and therefore not disqualifying. Were the
doctors all agreed that the disease is cancer,
there might be very good reason for taking
the Kingly power out of the hands Of the
invalid and his strong minded and ambitious
Queen. But the doctors are not agreed. Sir
Morell Mackenzie, famous physician and
staunch friend of the lonely Victoria, has
taken positive grounds against the cancer
theory from the beginning. This makes the
case in favor of Regency far from plain.

The Interminable Parneii Inquiry.

ALL SIDES AGREE THAT soMTHING MUST BE DONE
TO SHORTEN IT.
During the session of the Parnell commission
in London yesterday Attorney General Web
ster produced letter, which was handed to be
marked for Identification but was not put in ev-
idence. Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the
Parnellites, asked to see the letter. Attorney
General Webster objected, saying that counsel
was not entitled to see it until it was read. Sir
Charles Russell maintained that he was entitled
to see 1t. The court ruled that it was matter
of courtesy and Mr.. Webster held to his refusal
to let the Parnellites counsel see the letter.
Other witnesses from Kerry were then exam
ined, all OF whom attributed outrages in that
county to the instigation of the league A Ia
borer named Williams testified that he had
been fired at by a captain Of moonlighters and
said that placard had been posted in variou
places offering 900 to any one who won i
shoot him IN his employer who had taken IN
eyi It'd farm. On crosse xamination however
none of the witnesses succeeded in connectin .
tn league with any OF the outrages they had
ref -rcd to.
Near the hour Of adjournment Mr.. Reid. in
the absence Of Sir Charles Ru sell appealed to
the opposing counsel to bulk the outrages to
which they wished to refer and to cease giving
such evidence in detail. The inquiry threat
ened to last long enough to ruin any body If the
present method were continued Sir Henry
James declared that the Times was equally
anxious to limit time and expenditure.
Justice Hammer said there must be an earn
est effort to shorten the work of the commits
sion. He considered that there had already
been enough detail Of outrages, and other
branches Of the inquiry ought to be proceeded
with.

Animals as Computers.

FROM the LOndOn Tines.
About a year ago l began, with the assist
ance of the keeper, to instruct the chimpanzee
at the geological gardens in the art Of compu-
tation. The method adopted was to ask her
Tor one, two. three, four or five straws. which
she was to pick up and hand out from among
the litter in her cage. OF course no constant
order was observed in m liking these requests
but whenever she handed number not asked
Tor her offer was refused. In this way the ami
mai learned to associate the numbers with
their names. Lastly, il more than one straw
were asked for, she was taught to hold the
Others In her mouth until the required number
was complete and then to deliver the whole at
once. This method prevented any possible
error arising from her Interpretation of
vocal tones - an error which might
well have arisen il each straw had
been asked Tor separately. After a
few weeks continuous instruction the ape per-
fectly well understood what was required OF
her, and up TO the time when left town sew

handing me the exact number Of straws that

GA Dead Art.o

From the Philadelphia Times.
Hair dyeing is a dead art" said Philadel-
phia barber the other day. None of the bar
bers in the heart of the city keep hair dye now
adays. 1t used to pay immensely, and BARRIERS
made lots of money. Dyeing hair and whiskers
was three or four dollar job, and it took an
hour or two to fix man up. But now a man
who wants his hair dyed would be ashamed to
go to a big shop to have it done. There are a
few little shops where hair is dyed Men 90
there because nobody they know will see them.
The big BARRIERS won't keep hair dye any more

latest fad is bleaching moustaches. BARRIERS

You can see lots of Young men today with dark
brown hair who have lovely blonde moustacbes.
The bleach makes the moustache streaked in

all men with red moustaches, but great many.
You won't see near so many red moustaches

bleach is just as injurious the black hair dye.
