To be conductor on a Bangor electric car
requires the patience of Job. There being
no horses to be kept standing some people
think the car can stop any length of time for
them. Two ladies' met in one of the cars the
other day. After talking necessarily all the
time they were together, one of them
signalled the car to stop. After 1t stopped
she took about two minutes for last words,
ami then, as the conductors patience was
wearing out, stepped off saying to her
friend: BE sure and come Tuesday" Then
the conductor snapped the bell, the machine
~ began to hum and the car started, when
the woman who had alighted commenced to
wave her hands and hallOa to the conductor.
He supposed she had forgotten something
on the seat and pulled the bell to stop with a
vicious jerk while the woman ran up to the
side of the car and in eager tones said to her
friend: If you can't come Tuesday come
Wednesday"

propriety of urging the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution of the United
States. The form suggested for this amend
ment IS as follows:
No State shall pass any law respecting an es-
exercise thereof or use its property, money or
credit or any power of taxation, or authorize
such 10 be used for the purpose of founding, aid
ing or carrying on any church, religious den0mi-
nation or society, or any sectarian institution, or
any undertaking under sectarian or religious con-
troll.
The call comes from Rev. James b. Dunn,
ID. d., secretary of the Boston committee OF
One Hundred who explains that Eat a re-
cent joint conference of certain gentlemen OIL
New York and Boston, it was proposed TO
hold general yet private conference OF rep
resentative gentlemen interested in securing
the adoption of an amendment to the nation
al constitution forbidding the alienation OF
the public funds to private institutions. /"
This proposition to amend the constitution
in this way is now not made for the first
time. Thirteen years ago the Republican
party in Its national convention at Cincinna-
Il recommended such step by inserting the
following plank in their platform:
/, Inc public school system of the several states
is the bnlwark of the American republic, and,
WIN view 10 It's security and perm anence we
,ecommehd an amendment to the constitution of
. United States, forbidding the application of
any pubic FUNDS or property for the benefit of any
schools or institutions under sectarian control.
To such an amendment there can be no
reasonable objection and there Is every ar
gument In its favor. TIL. first amendment
made to the constitution of the United
States LAID down this limitation:
Congress shall make no law respecting an es-
exercise thereof.
The amendment proposed to forbid the APP
plication OF public funds for secretaran pur-
poses is In line with the principles of the
first amendment. and with the spirit of Am
erican institutions from the beginning

CURRENT COMMENT.
A PROPHECY.
I Boston Adyertiser.1

lBoSton Advertiser.l
Congressman Russell of Connecticut has
publicly announced his confident belief that
Mr.. Reed of Maine will be the speaker of the
next house OF representatives, Such an
opinion from one who Is assurediy not given
to making rash statements must of necessity
have great weight. Mr.. Russell is by no
means alone in lis belief Mr.. Reed has won
the place of Republican leader on the floor of
the house. and he stands today with but few
rivals. A skilled parliamentarian, aggressive
and lncisive In debate, with a remarkable
fund OF information at his command, his
many distinct and personal characteristics
have. secured hearty recognition of his
merits throughout the party. Mr. Reeds
long experience in the house has so specially
htted HIM for the post of speaker that his
claim TO the honor cannot he ignored on any
reasonable grounds.
There are but two serious candidates OPP
posed to Mr.. Reed. These are Mckinley of
Ohio and Burrows of Wisconsin. Both of
these gentlemen are strong men. They have
proved themselves fitted for positions of
honor aud responsibility. Mr. Mckinley In
his able debates on the tariff question proved
an opponent, whom none of the Democratic
supporters Of the Mills bills were able to
successfully encounter. Mr.. Burrows, in
his varied congressional experience, and
especially III the interstate commerce debates
OF recent years, has showed himself mag
nifcent lOgician and an orator of great power
Bat, after all is said, the fact still remains
that there are many reasons why Mr.. Reed,
rather than either of his competitors, should
occupy the speakers chair. Undoubtedly,
Maj. Mckinley Is at his best in congressional
debate. Few can voice SO well as he the
principles and arguments Of the Republican
party, and for that reason his place Is on the
floor of the house, OF. If the people of Ohio
should SO decide, in the senate. AS to Mr..
Burrows, it is impossible To deny that he
would make d good speaker, but the majority
n ipa IA ri f.krou To nh
between the congressman from Maine and
the representative from Wisconsin, will
probably select the former In considering
all the great questions that are to come be-
fore the house at its next session, notably
the fisheries, Canadian railroads, southern,
tariff, and Behring's Sea questions. Mr..
REEDS experience would be especially
useful 10 selecting the committees, who will
have to deal with these affairs. If, as now
seems likely. he is supported by the extreme
East and West, as well as by numerous rep
resentatives from other sections, his success
will be almost assured
The Portland daily press., 1889-07-25

The Democratic papers have circulated,
with considerable persistence, the story that
an organization is to be formed among
Southern Republicans to attempt to elect an
independent candidate for Speaker, and that
Representative Brewer of NGth Carolina
has been selected as the candidate. or this
report the well-informed Washington cores
pendent of the Boston journal says: "The
speakership campaign will not b. settled in
this way" Representative Houk of Tennes-
see, who has been mentioned as one who
would be supporter of Brewer has repudia-
ted such suggestion. and has said that he is
Republican from principle and that his ac
tion in the matter of the Speakership will
not be controlled by any such motive of dis
satisfaction with his share of patronage as
has been attributed to him.
When Mr.. Brewer himself was questioned
he said though he regarded himself as can
didate for Speaker he had not the slightest
intention Of doing anything to help the Dem
ocrats. He was Republican. and the re-
port that he was to become an independent
candidate for speaker was false.

The President was sure to be assailed by
the Mugwumps whatever his conduct with
regard to appointments to office. 1t was i'm
possible that they could be satisfied unless
by the appointment of men politically iden-
tilted with them. Their criticism of the
Presidents appointments, therefore, are to
be taken with great allowance. Probably
nobody has better opportunity to observe
The character of the Presidents appointments
and to Judge justly of his attitude toward
civil service reform than the members of
the civil service commission. And this is
the testimony which member of that COM
mission, Mr.. Roosevelt, bears: mo greater
proof OF the fidelity of President Harrison m
his pledges to the people could be given than
his support OF the commission in their ac.
ton at indianapolis. his own home. where
we compelled the postmaster TO dismiss
three Republican clerks who had been ill.,
gally appointed. That left no option 70 tho
postmaster but to appoint three Democrats
who were on the eligible list. Contrast his
action with that of President Cleveland. who
sustained Aquilla Jones in his partisan use
of the indianapolis postoffice. In Troy.
also, we compelled tie denomination of
some Republican clerks who had not fairly
passed the civil service examination. In
Milwaukee, also, we redressed a violation of
the law The President has supported us
heartily, and am confident that the coun-
try is at MS back in thus faithfully enforcing
the civil service reform law"

The Secretary of the Interior has appoint
cd commission to investigate the conduct
oil the Commissioner of Pensions, and the
public will soon fnd out what there is in the
charges OF recklessness which have been
made against the Commissioner. Re-rating
In Itself Is not to be condemned. There is
no Reason why pcnsioner. who through the
mistake or injustice of some former commits
Sloner has not received so large pension as
MS injuries entite him to, should not be re-
examined and re-rated. But unless this re-
rating Is conducted with the greatest care
and subjected to the strictest scrutiny. a
great many undeserying cases will get
through. The fact that an investigation has
been ordered by the Secretary shows that
there is good GROUND for suspicion that Com
missioner Tanner has beer going too fast
and too far.

The Concord Monitor makes some compu-
tations relative to the effect OF the next Con-
gressional apportionment upon the represen-
tation of New Hampshire in Congress which
are equally applicable to the State of Maine.
III the population shown by the next census
reaches 65,000,0oO, and the number Of Con-
gressmen is allowed to remain as 1t will be
when the new States have chosen represen-
tatives, at $3.50, then under the next. apportion-
ment the basis of representation will be one
representative to every 100000 inhabitants.
The effect Of this would be to reduce Names
representation from four to three. The last
apportionment, 1t will be remembered, re-
duced Maine one, from five to four. When
Maine first became State she had seven
representatives. Land continued to have that
number until 1888, when 1t was increased to
eight Ten years later it fell to seven, ten
years later to six, and ten years later to
five. For twenty years, or until 1888, it re-
NAMED at that figure, but the census of
1880 and the new appointment under it
diminished 1t to four, the present number.
Unless the size of the House of Representa-
tives Is increased 1t is tolerably Gel tain that
by the next apportionment our representation
will fall to three.

Canadian crop prospects have been mate
rally improved by recent rains. While
three weeks ago the Manitoba farmers were
predicting only half crop of wheat, now
they are confident that the yield will be an
average one. In some places hail has done
considerable damage, but as rule wheat is
looking as well as usual. Barley, however.
promises only two-thirds crop, while oats
are very light

Sometime ago the civil service commission
Investigated Postmaster Paul OF Milwaukee,
and found abundant evidence that he had
been evadng the civil service law. There.
upon Mr.. Roosevelt drew up report setting
forth his violations of the law and severely
reprimanding him. Now Postmaster Paul
is out in reply in which he produces let
ter from ex-COmmissioner Dorman b, Eaton
saying that Mr.. Paul's course in the matter
OF appointments was contemplated and au-
thorized by the usage of the original com.
mission" II this be SO, then the original
commission were guilty of permitting the
spirit of the law to be dsregarded. The law
never contemplated that the politics of the
applicant shhould affect his selection or re-
lection. The language of the law expressly
negatives any such an idea. But Mr.. Paul
confesses that he has habitually selected
from the eligible list men who were Demo-
Gratis and because they were Democrats. His
conduct was clearly in evasion Of the spirit,
II not the letter of the law, and it fully de-
served the sharp reprimand it got from Mr..
Roosevelt.

District Attorney Fellows announces that
he shall prosecute no more Doodle cases, be-
cause 1t would be useless and simply waste
the public money. So the end Of the Doodle
trials has come, and it is possible to size up
New York justice. OF some fifteen persons
connected with the Broadway railway bri-
pery, all OF whom were doubtless guilty,
only two have been placed in the peniten-
tiary. Several have run away. but they can
come back now and live in the city which
they pillaged without danger. So that really
but two persons will receive any punish
ment at the hands of the law. In view of
the fact that public opinion was reused
against these men as it has seldom been
reused before, and that the entire newspaper
press OF the metropolis was arrayed against
them the result is very discouraging.
