EVERY NIGHT last week young kinky.
haired coored man occupied box at the Ca
sino. As be always sat well toward the front
of the box, which he occupied by himself, and
was generously bedecked with diamonds,
he attracted much attention. He wore a
black cutaway coat and lavender colored
trousers.
Friday night he occupied for the first
time proscenium box. AT the conclusion
of the kiss duet, during which he stood up
leaning forward towards the stage, he threw
magnificent bouquet of flowers at the sing
er's feet. 1t was picked up by one of the
chorus. who was about TO hand it to Miss
Lillian Russell. when she saw card on 1t
bearing Miss Fannie Rices name.
Upon the flowers being handed to Miss
Rice she became incensed at the idea of a
colored man taking such liberty ari flung
the bouquet to Mr.. Mahin.
He tore it to pieces and stuffed it down
his breast The audience roared with
| laughter, while the sable occupant of the
box turned almost white and took seat in
| the back part of the box. He sat the per.
| formance out.
While this was going on down stairs there
was another scene in the gallery. DR.. Pur-
dy, Miss Rice's husband, had not been to the
Casino for some time before. When from
the gallery he saw what he termed IAN in
ferna niggern throw bouquet to his wife
he became half wild with rage and raved
| like madman. He did not know what had
been going on while he was absent.
The colored man who had caused all the
excitement went up to the roof garden at
the conclusion of the performance and ap'
parently enjoyed the concert unconcernedly
No one seems to know his identity. There
was nothing on the card attached to the
bouquet to indicate who the sender was
He has never purchased the box he has oc
cupied himself. A Casino box would not he
sold to coored man.
Some of the people about the Casino think
the stranger is a Brzlian grandee or rich
Creole When the bouquet was first thrown
it was thought that Lillian Russell's Black
Prince had once more come back to worship
at her shrine.-N. Y. Ne,Us.

MEDICINAL.
Wake Ut.

If you wake up in the
morning with a bitter or
bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constipa-
ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. It corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
or Sleeplessness-a good
dose Of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. It can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

is vet to be determined. 1t is officially de-
MED that France has made any treaty with
Hayti by which Legitime, who is now hard
pressed by Hippolyte, is guaranteed protec-
ton and support in return for valuable trade
concessions. Yet there is reason to suspect
that negotiations looking to such treaty
have been 10 progress. Our government
must naturally look with disfavor on any
attempt of France to extend her power and
dominion on this side of the Atlantic The
feeling of this country has been made known
to her in connection with the Panama Canal,
and il the alleged project in regard to Hayti
is persisted in France has every reason to
expect strong opposition from this country.
France, however, has so many enemies so
close to her borders that she will be very
slow in doing anything to arouse the HOSTILE
ty of the United States If she
has made the mistake of opening negotia-
tions with Hayti, it is altogether probable
that she will close them summarily when
she realizes what will be their effect on the
attitude of the United States toward her.

our Foreign Relations.

Inc result OF the Samoan conference has
not yet been made public officially. but the
unofficial announcements are probably not
lar from correct. The United States has
every reason to be satisfied with the ont
come. All that we asked for has practically
been secured. Malietoa, who was driven
from his throne by German Vaccinations. is
to be restored; Samoa is to he ruled by its
native inhabitants; and the status of for
egners is to be settled by commission COM
posed OF three representatives. one from each
OF the signatory powers-Gemany. the
United States and England. All existing
treaties are to remain in full force. The set
tiement is just one, and while 1t may be
looked upor as triumph for our diplomacy,
large share of the credit must be accorded
70 Germany, which retreated gracefully
from wrong position, instead of sticking to
II, as there was strong temptation to do
Ihe Samoan cloud, which at one time looked
threatening, is now dispelled, and continu-
ance Of our friendly relations with the EN-
pire of Germany is assured
With this speck removed from our diplo-
matte horizon the eye naturally turns to the
small cloud that has gathered over Behring
Sea. The Congress of the United States has
practically declared this closed sea, and no.
tilted trespassers that they will be arrested.
Inc Dominion government disputes our
right to close the sea, and has appealed to
England to protect American vessels that
may go there in pursuit Of seals. K gland
appears to be inclined to send some ma
Val vessels 10 the sea, but under what in
structions is not revealed. The speech of
the British naval officer at Victoria In which
he assumed to disclose the orders under
which the British vessels would oct, and de-
clared that If American vessels seized Do
minion sealers there would be fighting; In
spite of the old adage, in zinc ceritds-for it
is acknowledged that the officer was well
saturated with champagne-is probably not
to be regarded as correct representation of
the British programme. The orders TO the
neet would in all probability be given to the
Admiral and to him alone, and even If IL
were necessary to disclose any or all of them
to his subordnates, it would not be done
until they were on the sea. Besides. too
such a programme as this drunken officer
announced is intrinsically improbable, unless
Great Britain is seeking to precipitate war
with this country. an assumption which is in
the highest degree improbable. England's
vessels in Behring Sea will probably act in
the same way as have ours along the Eastern
coast of the Dominion for several seasons
past, that is. they will act as feet of OBJ
servation. A seizure of Canadian sealers by
our vessels will without doubt precpitate
diplomatic contest, but there need be no fear
mat 1t will precipitate a naval fight. Nei-
ther country will resort to war until all the
possibilities of peaceful settlement have
been exhausted.
Another speck on the horizon of our for
eigh relations appears to exist in the Carib-
bean sea, but whether it is real or imaginary
The Portland daily press., 1889-06-03

Saturday morning the PRESS criticized
some paragraphs from an Grafton delivered
on Memorial Day by the Rev. Mr.. Marsh of
Saco. We took theparagraphs from report
ct the Grafton published in Biddeford
paper, and had every reason to suppose
they were correct As will be seen by let
ter in another column, Mr.. Marsh claims
that he was incorrectly reported, and calls
our attention to the report Of his address in
the Biddeford Times. which The says correct
ly represents him. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Marsh did not eulogize those who staid at
home and discouraged the war. He was
speaking of those men, among them Horace
Greeley, who had such horror of civil strife
that they were ready to yield very much for
the sake Of peace. We agree with Mr..
Marsh that the patriotism of a great many
OF these men, perhaps of all of them, is un
questioned and unquestionable but we can
not agree with him as to their foresight Fore
sight was what they were most lacking in.
Nevertheless to eulogize them is something
very different from eulogizlng men "who
staid at home and discouraged the war"
Another thing which he did not say was that
our pension service is all wrong" The
idea which he intended to convey was that
the singing out of soldiers for special recog-
milton in Republic tended to exalt the mil
itary above the civil arm of the government.
That proposition is perhaps sound, and its
statement ordinarily would not give offence.
But Memorial Day, day set apart specially
Tor eulogy OF soldiers, was an unfortunate
day to state and argue it in, for it was
inevitable no matter how innocent the inten-
ton OF the orator, that it would on that day
appear to be disparagement of the
soldier who fell in the Rebellion.
In the light of Mr.. Marsh's authentic ad
dress perhaps the seyerest criticism to which
be is amenable is that some of his remarks
were untimely.

AT the much talked about dinner to Presi-
dent Cleveland in New York the other day,
Governor Hill gave utterance to one thought
that seems destined to live and trouble him.
when extreme views have unfortunately
been permitted to prevail, and unwise action
has been taken," said he, 'the Democrats of
New York, although disappointed, have
never sulked in their tents, and, though not
successful, have Loyalty defended their guns
and have done their best to stem the tide of
adverse public sentiment. and while keenly
realizing that possibly some one had blum
dered,' and that defeat probably awaited
them in the fierce contest they were waging.
they uniformly gave forth no sign of discon-
tent, but, exhibiting the same valor that
characterized that gallant charge of the
Light Brigade, always performed their duty.
without complaint or question" No more
pointed stab at the chief guest of the eve
ning as well as at the dominant faction of
the Democratic party. could have been de-
vised than this speech by the Governor of
New York. Did Hill do 1t for this purpose?
Or is the Democratic party, with character
istic Inconsistency, putting in training pro-
tectionist standard bearer in the hope of
success thereby in 1892? 1t must strike
the outside observer that David B. Hill
would be rather narrow fellow to cover up
that free trade rank and file that always pa
rades with the Democracy.

Some of the Democrats think they have
found Moses in the West in the person of
John NJ. Palmer, who tried to be governor
Of Illinois last year, but was defeated by
Private Fifer. Moses Palmer is still floating
in the bullrush basket; but Free Trade is the
Pharaoh's daughter that is expected to bring
him up.
