Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota has
suggested a solution of the vexed and vexing
seal question that presents some advantages
over the others to the common mind, what
ever may be thought of 1t by diplomats. The
senator says that seals eat more good cod
fish in year than their skins will pay for,
and that they are of no use to anyone save
the most wealthy people Therefore he pro-
poses to let down all the bars for a time and
kill off the whole stock Of seals. When this
is done the Behring Sea difficulties will van
ish away, Goldfish will be plenty and all will
be well. Mr.. Pettigrew has undoubtedly
touched responsive chord in the natures of
many husbands and fathers, and if he ever
cones before the country desiring the votes
of the people those men can be counted on
to give him strong support.

1t is difficult to make out from the tele-
graphic dispatches what the row at SkowhC-
gan is all about. But it apparently grows
out Of the statute which provides that inn
holders shall take out license from the mu-
cipal authorities and give bond of $500 not
to violate any State law, or subject them
selves to fine of $50 day. The law was
apparently regarded as dead letter until
a constable, appointed probably to enforce
the liquor law, dug tout and attempted to
compel the hotel proprietors to comply with
it or take the consequences. The proprie-
tors appear to have determined to do pei-
ther, but to close their establishments instead.
Probably excess Of zeal on the part of the
constable and some obstinacy on the part of
the proprietors are responsible for the trouble.
1t is not likely, however, that the Skowhe-
gan hotels will long remain closed on ac-
count of the fuss.

view as city which being fortunate as the
home of Senator and a prominent Congress-
man is to have its reward in the shape of
new" publ: building are either ignorant
of the facts or are maliciously perverting
them. Whatever may be said of some of the
public building bills now before Congress or
the President, nobody who understands the
case will deny the justice of Lewiston's
claim. About year age the post office was
destroyed by fire and since then the city has
had Indifferent postal Accommodations. 1t is
now proposed to erect such building as the
size and Importance of the city demand, and
1t must be very narrow-minded partisan
who sees significance in this connection in
the fact that Senator and Representative
of the prominence of Mr.. Dingley are both
residents Of the city.

The rumor is current in England that the
Liberals have decided to drop Home Rule
and make the next campaign on issues purely
English. Time will probably show that the
rumor is we'll founded. Homerule has been
so thoroughly discredited by the action of
the Irish factions that fer some time to come
it must prove milestone around the neck of
any party that adopts II. Never was
cause so thoroughly and quickly killed by
its avowed friends as this cause of Irish
home government. A month ago it was the
most prominent plank in the platform of one
of the great parties of England. and the Eng
lish electors looked npon 1t with so much
favor that there was scarcely doubt that it
would be carried at the next election.
Within a.month there has been such revul-
sion of feelingsthat it has become the Jonah
which threatens the Liberal party with des
truction if it is not thrown overheard. When
the Irish people get cool enough to calmly
consider the ruin to their hopes which Par
nell's selishness and ohstinacy have wrought
the cheers which now greet his.ears will be
changed to curses.

The dangers of the electric light wires are
brought home to the people of Portland in
startling manner by the accident on Con
gress street yesterday morning A great
many accidents of similar character nave
happened in other cities, but this is the hr 81
one of the kind in Portland. The ultimate
r.meny for these accidents ist put the wires
under ground, but of course that is not i'm
mediately practicable. Meanwhile there
seems to be nothing to do when by reason of
accumulation of ice npon the wires they are
rendered liable to break or sag but to shut off
theelectrlc current until the danger is passed.
That would occasion some Inconvenience.
but inconvenience had much better be borne
than human life placed in jeopardy as it was
yesterday morning.

between the two Republican factions are
strained to the extent of endaugering Re-

ture. In the interest of the party the war

THE WAYS OF WRITERS.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in recent
essay on writers, disabuses the public mind
of the idea that writer's of romance always
map out and create the men and women
of their stories before they begin to write.
He says: 1.-THE writer becomes acquainted
with his characters as he goes on. They
are at first mere embryos, outlines Of dis
tlnct personalities. By and by, if they
have any organic cohesion, they begin to
assert themselves. They can say and do
such and such things; such and such other
things they cannot and must not say or
do" That is a reasonable statement, and
bears the impress of truth. Writers have
frequently said that before delineating a
character they have clearly. defined idea
of the traits, manners and actuating
motives, and even of the exact expression
and the diction of the figure to be pro-
duced.
We have never believed this to be
wholly true The writer may deceive
himself and believe that he has clearly
cast the character from the outset, but DR..
Holmes testimony is to the contrary, and
it is rational. There may be few, and
probably have been, who think out the
whole romance in advance, fashion the
nolds for the characters and actually cast
them before writing a line DIR. Holmes
on that point says that there are authors
"who can compose and finish off poem or
a story without writing word Of it until,
when the proper time comes, they copy
what they carry in their heads. I have
been told that Sir Edwin Arnold thought
out his beautiful Light of Asia in this
way"
But the wit and poet and novelist adds:
~ find the great charm of writing consists
in its surprises. When one is in the re-
ceptive attitude of mind, the thoughts
which are sprung upon him, the images
which flash through his consciousness are
a delight and an excitement. A
chief pleasure which the author of novels
and stories experiences is that of becoming
acquainted with the characters he draws"
1t would be safe to wager that if all the
great novelists of the day were asked to
state frankly if they did not create their
characters more as they write than by pre-
science, the majority would respond that
the best and strongest characters of 70.
nance gain their strength by the eyolu-
tionary process, so to speak, in the produc-
ton of the romance.

AN ANSWER ALREADY.

The Democracy does not tire Of shout
ing "What has the new tariff done for the
country" Reasonable men, not inaamed
by partisan greed, would wait something
more than twenty-five days after the pas
sage of a revenue bill affecting our trade
relations with all the world before de-
manding the proofs of the operation of the
law in any special direction. However,
the Democracy received an answer yester-
day that viii put it to thinking.
On account of the tariff reform measure
adopted by the Republican majority in
Congress, the Ale and Porter Brewers Ma
tional Association now demands 10000 900
bushels of barley year from American
growers. That is to say, instead of going
to Canada for our barley for the manu-
facture of beverages, hereafter we will use
the home product, and we have the au-
thority of Secretary Toney for saying that
the homegrown barley is quite as good as
any that can be imported.

The Coming Girl.

The coming girl will cook her own food,
will earn her own living and will not die
an old maid. The coming girl will not
wear the Grecian bend, dance the German,
ignore all possibilities of knowing how to
work, will not endeavor to break the hearts
of unsophisticated young men, will spell
correctly, understand the English language
before she affects French, will preside with
equal grace at the piano or wash-tub, will
spin more yarn for the house than for the
street, will not despise her plainly clad
mother, her poor relations or the hand of
an honest worker.
The coming girl will walk FIVE miles a
day if need be, TO keep her cheeks aglow;
will mind her health, her physical devel-
opment, and her mother; will adopt cos
tune both sensible and conducive to
health; will not confound hypocrisy with
politeness; will not place lying to please
above frankness.
The coming girl will not look to Paris
but to reason for her fashions; will not
aim to follow foolish fashion because
milliners and dressmakers decree it; will
not torture her body, shrivel her soul with
puerilities, or ruin it with wine and pleas
ure. In short, the coming girl will seek to
glorify her Maker and 20 enjoy mentally
His works. Duty viii be her aim, and
life living reality. Exchange.
