In going in and out between the Zanzibar
coast and Emin Bey's province travellers
were accustomed to pass through Uganda In
the days when good king Mtesa. the friend
OF the white missionaries, was on the throne.
But since the accession of his son Mwanga,
which came about five or six years ago, the
kingdom has been suffering from a state OF
tyranny terrible for the natives and danger
Gus to whites Thus it happened that the
communications Of the civilized world with
Emin Bey were cut off and the barbaric king
who did 1t came in with his kingdom Tor
good share of attention. King Mwanga
earned the notice of the world by another
act that clearly entities the victims to a place
In the future book of martyrs. In 1885,
Bishop Harrington, a missionary OF the
Church of England, started for Uganda
where there were many Christian laborers
and converts. On arriving at Lake Victoria
Nyanza and the borders of Uganda he was
seized by Mwanga's soldiers and put to
death with circumstances Of the greatest
cruelty. Bishop Harrington, through all the
the days of long Imprisonment, kept an
accurate diary in which are recorded all the
cruelties which he suffered up to almost the
hour of his death. That diary was preserved
by some faithful Christians and after time
found its way to England. There it was
published. making for Bishop Harrington
the name of martyr and earning for King
Mwanga universal detestation. The whole
civilized world may read with pleasure the
news told briefly by the cable that at last the
tyrant, having failed in the innocent little
amusement Of leaving his guards to starve
on desert island of the great tropical lake.
has been driven from his throne. His sue
cessor seems to be more kindly disposed
toward whites and Christians, and it is to be
hoped that under his rule the cause of civili-
zation win advance in the important region
which he dominates.

Constitution TInkering.

The various propositions to amend the
constitution appear to find little favor with
those best acquainted with the constitution.
The New York Independent recently in
quired of such men as Ex-President Hayes
Hon. George Bancroft, Justice Gray, Justice
Bradley and Justice Blatchford of the Su-
prime Court If in their opinion either of the
amendments that had been suggested in the
public prints, or others were desirable. With
one exception the reply is In the negative.
Ex-President Hayes is the exception. He
thinks it might be well to extend the Presi-
dental term to six years and make Presi-
dents ineligible for reelection, but all the
rest declare against any change. The Hon.
George Bancroft says that if any change is
needed lit in ourselves that we may more
and more respect the primal law" Justice
Gray says: Il am so Old-fashioned as to
think that the constitution administered ac-
cording to its letter and spirit, is we'll
enough as it is. And am of the opinion of
the late Governor Andrew, that it is not de-
sirable to Mexicanize our government by
proposing constitutional amendments as Of
ten as there is supposed to be disturbance
in its practical working" Justice Bradley
writes; Il would have no change, and es-
pecially not in the direction indicated. l
think it most happy arrangement that sud-
den whiffs and gusts of popular feeling are
not always able to execute and carry out the
rash purposes with which they are inspired. y
Justice Blatchford says: 81 am satisfied
with the constitution as it is. 1t cannot be
bettered Constitution tinkers are in poor

Under the present tariff "fish fresh for i'm
mediate consumption" are admitted free. I'm
doubtedly the intention was simply to admit
fish freshly caught, but the treasury officials
construed the language so as to admit not
only fish freshly caught, but fish preserved
In ice, and as this way of preserving fish has
been found very effective and come into wide
use the effect of the clause has been to afford
the Canadian fisherman market for large
part Of his catch. Last year no less than 2S-
100000 pounds of fresh fish were imported
free of duty. The amendment to the Senate
tariff bill adopted Friday puts fresh and
salted fish oE the same footing, making both
subject to duty of two cents pound. This
amendment will lbe very CRAFTY ing to New
England fishermen, inasmuch as it will
thoroughly protect them against the dis
astrous competition of the fishermen Of the
Provinces. OF course tn g Canadians will
not like it, but we are under n obligation to
consult their wishes. On fresh fish caught
by Americans they have imposed duty of
half cent pound, and in every way possi-
BILE have sought to cripple our fishing fleet.
They have challenged retaliation, and they
can't complain II they get it.

PUBLIC SPIRIT WANTED,
Portland Sunday Times.l

1t would seem that Portland can become
the capital city of the State If proper induce
ments are offered, but it cannot be had for
the asking. Other cities in our State look
with longing eyes upon the prospect and
will be ready to make propositions when
the question comes up for discussion In the
legislature. Portland cannot afford to lay
back and trust to luck. Action should be
taken at once. The Board of Trade should
call meeting to consider the matter, and
every effort put fourth so that a direct prop
ositi0n can be presented to the legislature
from our citizens. No city in the State can
offer the advantages that Portland possesses.
Its position as the business metropolis of the
State is the first thing in its favor, while the
excellent hotels and boarding houses of our
city would afford an agreeable contrast,
both In accommodations and prices, to the
experience Of the legislators at Augusta. IL
1t needed only word the change would be
made, but something more is demanded.
Public spirit on the part of our people is
wanted at this time.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breath freely sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter deAles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery of
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathseme and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional Instant in relieving, permanent
n curing, safe, economical and neyer-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one hot
tie OF the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all
wrapped in one package, with treatise and direc
tions, and sod by all druggists for 81 90.

Gen. Weaver appears to have got it through
his head at last that bis ilibustering perfor-
nance was furnishing the best demonstra-
tlon possible of the need of changing the
House rules. That undoubtedly is why he
desisted, but he came to his senses too late.
He had furnished the demonstration.

Under the ten hour law as it exists at
present men are permitted to contract for
extra hours of labor. but women are denied
this privilege. Senator Lords amendment,
is, we understand, designed simply to put
men and women on an equal footing in this
respect. 1t is difficult to see any objection
to it. Women are doubtless as competent to
take care of themselves as men; and no more
in need of protection.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

What To Do. By Count Lyof Tolstoi.
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co..
From the Publishers) That is, what to do
with the great social problem of poverty.
In Moscow the census alarmed the Count,
and he began to seek a solution of the ques-
W 10 abaie the sufferngs of the poor
His conclusion was that the rich must put
their shoulders to the wheel by voluntary
surrender of their advantages in social life.
In other words, all must become producers
and workers. Idleness and effeminacy must
cease. All men are brethren, and the rich
should become SO many missionaries, obey
ing literally the injunction of the Gospel to
''go sell all they have and give to the poor"
who are brethren of Christ. Jesus made Lis
home among them, chose them as his friends
and followers. In this way the good work
of amelioration began, and so it must be car
ried out to the happy consummation. OF
course the Count has in view the condition
of things in Russia, where there are few
very rich and privileged, with masses of
very poor, and great gulf lying between
them.

is one of the most attractive forms of litera-
ture, and generally preferred to compilations
made by others. We enjoy hearing promi-
nent people tell their own story, how life has
gone with them, if they do it with cleyerness
and candor. The Nun of Kenmare becama
widely known through her various published
vaxlrc fnh 49, A.l
with the approval of two popes and many
ecclesiastics. Not satisfied with literary
distinction alone. the Nun devoted herself to
the special study of improving the condition
of the Irish peasantry in the old and the New
World. Her idea was that besides what
churches and worship could do for them,
they required careful instruction in various
industries to improve their temporal condi-
ton. To promote this laudable object, she
founded with the sanction of the Pope new
Order Of Nuns of which she became the
Mother Superior. In Ireland. England and
America she endeavored to establish retreats
for the better education of girls for domestic
service. AT first she had the approval and
help of her parish priest and bishop, but
both these dying, ecclesiastical Pharoah's
arose who knew not this Josephine and
threw cold water on her plans. A large part
of the book is taken up with her account of
the opposition she met and the causes of her
failure to accomplish all she designed and
desired The Irish certainly owe her debt
of gratitude for her unselfsh devotion to
their interests at all times and on both con-
tinents, but more especially for the large
sums she collected and distributed ten years
since, when Ireland was afflicted with fam
inc. The great good she did at that time is
fully attested by numerous testimonials
whose authenticity and genuineness cannot
be doubted. If she had done nothing else,
the services she rendered at that time entitle
her to high rank among the benefactors of
her race and country.

The Bangor Wings opinion is that the
majority of the members of the legislature
are in favor Of building new insane hospi-
tai, and that the site selected will be Ban
gor. 1t is to be hoped this opinion will turn
out to be correct. We do not believe it is
wise policy to gather under one roof more in
sane people than there are at present in the
Augusta hospital, nor do we believe that the
present medical staff of the hospital can pay
the attention that ought to be paid to any
more patients, if indeed, the present num-
Der does not exceed the limit of their

The United States with twelve times the
population of the Dominion of Canada had
last year only six times the number of busi-
ness failures. This, the Halifax
Chronicle thinks shows that the Canadians
are having "a comparatively uphill strug-
gle." That would seem to be an altogether
logical conclusion.

the tax roll voted, according to the privilege
allowed to them by the laws Of Canada.
With the exception that their presence made
the polling places more orderly. the event
was not especially significant About half
the women voted for annexation and the
other half against; whereas, had they been
as sensible as woman voters are expected to
be. they must have been unanimously in

When the Australian system of voting was
introduced in Louisville, Kentucky, the Cou-
rier-Journal opposed it. Now, after the first
trial, the same paper says: "The election
held last Tuesday was the first in which the
new law regulating municipal elections had a
fair trial. The results were such as to COM
mend it to all who see the necessity for pro-
tecting the ballot and securing fair express
sion of public opinion. The law secures a
secret ballot, protects the voter from intimi-
dation, depriyes the purchaser of the ballot
of any assurance that the goods paid for will
be delivered, multiplies henumber of voting
precincts, gives to each voter, however
humble he may be, free access to the voting
place, and provides for the faithful count of
these ballots under proper supervision"
The Portland daily press., 1889-01-14

The drift of Republican sentiment is
towards an extra session. Mr.. Reed says:
"There are three reasons In favor of the
proposition-frst, that the House should
promptly dispose of some of the contested
election cases, which apparently involve
fragrant injustice second, that prompt action
should be had on the question of the admis-
sion of new States, and third, that there
should be, as soon as practicable such legis-
lation as may be necessary respecting the
tariff and internal revenue. As matters now
look think the arguments in favor Of an
extra session outweigh the reasons against
it, and therefore the probabilities favor it."
Congressman Dingley would favor an extra
session on the assumption shat there will
be no revenue legislation by this Congress
and that several other important measures
will not receive attention" Mr.. Milliken
regards special session under the circum-
stances "as desirable, necessary and posi-
ble." Congressman Boutelle is opposed to
an extra session unless it be necessary to
insure control Of the House to the Republi-
cans.
