The story that the English government is
busily engaged in erecting Notifications in
British Columbia Is spoken of as having some
bearing upon the relations Of the United
States and England over the seal fisheries in
Behrlng Sea. A moments thought will
show that no such inference as is implied can
be drawn. If England contemplated trouble
with the United States she would not be SO
foolish as to go to fcrtifying remote post in
British Columbia while a border line of three
thousand miles or more lies almost as open
as the day to an invasion from the United
States. England has no reason to fortify In
British Columbia IN account of the United
States; or any other place, so far as that is
concerned, for she will go to war with this
country only as a final resort. But on other
accounts the erection of thosel Notifications
spoken Of in yesterdays dispatches from
British Columbia is the wisest of precau-
tons. In British Columbia and at Halifax
In the Maritime Provinces lie the only two
exposed points of Englands great, imperial
highway to her Eastern possessions. The /
new route has been termed the Empire !
Route" because, with the exceptions of the
short space traversed in the State of Maine.
and the high seas traversed, it lies, from
London to Hong Kong, Australia and the
Indies, wholly within portions of the British
Empire. BY the other tire routes, the
Suez Canal, the Cape, and tn, Cape Horn
route, England must transport her troops
and supplies through seas dominated by for
eign and not oyer-frendly nations Coal,
the staff of life to maritime power, lie found
near Halifax and hear Vancouver; while
along the other routes it has to be stored at
great expense at Port Said, at Aden, at Col
ombo or the Cape. Not only for security and
convenience, but also for directness, the
route via the Canadian Pacific Is easily first
as military route for England. 1t would
be folly to leave the termini of such an high
way unfortified against the cruisers of Rus
STA or Germany or France. Halifax is al. |
ready guarded by the best defences ON the
continent; and it is natural aud reasonable
that England should be erecting defences
now at the other terminus. But those de-
fences are not erected against the United
States; for the United States would not at
tack the imperial highway or Canada that |

A RumptIous Critic.

little while ago the Belfast Journal pub
nsLed letter from Bar Harbor written by
Proi. l.. Q. Bateman, in which occurred the
following stanza:
rarsewenl inc, Deauteous sun is sinking fast,
The moon lifts up her head;
And nlgnts mute pail DER earth at last,
Her darksome raven wing has spread.
A few days after the Argus, or its assis-
tant editor, flor that gentleman has since
several times obstreperously claimed the
credit Of the performance copied the above
stanza and made this comment:
Now nobody except a would.be poet or a half
lulOl could ever perpetrate such a Pathological
expression as "darksome raven wing" Certain
us That George Bancroft Grfneth is not the only
hRli-Daked poet" 10 Maine.
In its next issue the Belfast journal point
ed out that the quartrain which the assis-
tant editor aforesaid had ascrlbed to a ''half-
IDIOT or "half-baked" poet wa. the produc-
ton of Schiller. This disclosure ought to
have made the assistant editor cautious.
Yet so great was his confidence
in hisown poetic judgment, that he
asserted, before he had time to make thor
ough examination Of Schiller's works, that
Schiller did not write the lines The con-
troyersy up to this point had been entirely be-
tween the Belfast journal and the assistant
editor. The PRESS had recorded its prog
ress. just as it records the progress Of any
other controversy of public interest, but had
taken no part in it, As days went on, how
ever, the assistant editor waved valiant, and
issued challenge to the Belfast Journal

Commercial and the Parse m Yoirt ~

versy can be found. The PRESS was in

A story of congressman Reed.

Reed stood one day in front of the Hamil-
ton house, on Fourteenth street, where he
lives. There is hill there, not steep, but
sometimes slippery. A colored man was
urging horse attached to heavily loaded
wagon. Twice the animal slipped and fell,
and the driver beat the beast with his whip.
Presently Reed stepped forward. In that
sharp, twangy voice so often heard and gen.
orally feared in the house he commanded
the negro to desist. The man again raised
his whip, when Reeds big arm swung out
and caught the drivers wrist in strong
grasp. Reed held him thus as in wise for
one full minute, pouring out such a food of
reproof as that colored man had never be-
fore heard. The man WINGED, wilted. He
was mastered. physically and morally. And
the end of the incident was drawing of the
wagon to one side of the street, Reed assist
ing the driver therein. and sending of the
poor horse away TO the blacksmith to rave
new shoes put on his old feet. Washington

Some favored person who has access to the
columns Of the Rockland Opinion has visited
Auburn and been introduced to the Single
Tax Club of that city. After reporting that
the club numbers fifty members who shave
all studied the single tax arguments of Mr.
Henry George, believe in them earnestly and
fully, and are working every day, with con-
siderable success, to show to others the
truth" this correspondent proceeds to full
inmate thus; I'VE shall be surprised if the
land monopolists that have roasted on the
necks and fattened on the blood of the peo-
pie OF Auburn and Lewiston for so many
years do not ere long get shaking up"
Where the prudent and industrious man can

The decision of the Attorney General of
Massachusetts that the appropriation of the
legislature of $4,000 for the Johnstown suf-
ferers is unconstitutional is undoubtedly
good law, and it lis also timely. The John
stown people will not suffer from the loss OF
this contribution. but the people Of Massa-
chusetts might in the future reap good
deal of harm from it, for there is great dan
ger that it would become precedent for
much less meritorious appropriations.
States and municipalities cannot be confined
in the expenditure Of money too strictly
within the letter and spirit Of the constitu-
ton. Going outside of it, even in an emer-
gency like the Jamestown case, is almost
certain to bring more evil than good

started the hight OF the 'darkS0me raven wing? ?"
That is lust what lots Of people would like TO find
out. MIR. Bate pan says Schiller is the guilty per-
son, and the editors OF the Belfast Journal. Port
land Press and Bangor Commercial practically say
the same. But careful search through Schiler's
poetical works discovers no "darksOme raven

The limit of forbearance has been reached,
and the PRESS feels compelled to plunge the
assistant editor once more TO the bottom of
the pit which he diggsd for himself and
which he has been making deeper in his
struggles to get out. The lines quoted
by Mr.. Bateman form the first stanza of
| Schiller's poem entitled The Winter
Night" They can be found on page $50 of an
| edition of Schiller'S poems issued by Bedford
4 Clark of Chicago. The translation is by
Edgar Alfred Bowring. who in his preface
says his aim has been to reproduce in Eng
lish as nearly as possible the original Ger
man text. The first edition of this work was
issued in 1851, and in 1873 it was somewhat
revised by Mr.. Bowring and another edition
published. The stanza as translated by Mr..
Bowring reads thus:
Farewelli the beauteous sun is sinking fast.
The moon lifts up her head
FAREWELL mute night DER Qarth'S wide at
last
Her darksome raven wing has spread.
1t will be seen that the third line differs
somewhat from the same line as
quoted by Prof. Bateman, prob
ably due to the latter's imperfect recollec-
ton, but the last line, the line which the
assistant editor declares is typical of half
idiot or half baked poet, is precisely the same

ONE CAUSE OF THE CALAMITY.
boston Advertiser

There Is one cause back of the defective
dam at Johnstown that should not be over
looked. The dam broke because OF the great
strain put upon it by the freshets. The
frests were caused more or less by the lack
of timbered country in that region. 1t was
not so long ago since much of the now open
land Of western Pennsylvania was heavily
timbered The wholesale destruction of the
Pennsylvania forests soon became apparent
in the rapid rise of the Allegheny. SusQue-
hanna and Ohio rivers Immediately after the
early rains. Each recurring spring has be-
along the banks of these rivers. That the
absence of forests has changed many of the
meteorological conditions Of the East there
is much reason to believe, whether, after a
century Of ''arbor days." this change will be
mise, but it seems that Strong legislation is
needed to prevent any further forest de-
