The renewal of the modus uiyendi is more
valuable for what it indicates than for what
it gives. OF course it may be, under some cir
cumstances, advantageous to American fish,
ermen to be able to purchase the privilege of
buying supply of bait in Dominion port,
even If the price is pretty high, for the ex-
pense of trip home to get supply would
ssssssssssshly be moref costly. Still not very
large per cent. Of fishing vessels have ever
taken out license enabling them to obtain
the privilege, SO that it is evident that the
advantage is not very highly esteemed. But
the chief value of the renewal lies in the fact
that II indicates that tine Canadians have
come down from the high horse which they
were riding few years ago. and are inclined
to assume conciliatory attitude towards the
Americans. This augurs well for a speedy
and final settlement of the fishery question
in way that shall be satisfactory to both
parties to the controversy

The Siberian Exile Petition Association.
whose central bureau is located in Philadel-
pnia, is circulating for signatures through
out the country petition to the Gar asking
modification in the interest of humanity of
the Siberian exile system. The form of
petition which has been adopted has been
drawn up with the greatest possible care,
under the supervision and correction of
those who are well yersed in diplomatic and
Russian affairs. and it is believed it will have
good chance of respectful attention on the
part of the Gar The President Of the As
ISOLATION is the Rev. DR.. w. N. McVickar.
Rev. Alfred j. P. Mcclure is the correspond
ing secretary, and Mrs. w. F. jerks is the
recording secretary. The executive commit
tee and vice presidents are men and women
well known throughout the country. At
first blush 1t might appear that such petit
ton as is proposed would produce no effect.
But several things have occurred recently
which tend to show that the Gar is more
sensitive to public opinion than has been
supposed. The storm of indignation which
the recent report of massacre in Siberia
caused in England so affected the Cars gov
eminent that it felt obliged to issue state
ment in extenuation of the alleged outrage.
But IL the petition has no effect to improve
the condition Of the Siberian exiles. It will
NOT make 1t any worse, while 1t will confer
upon It's slgners the satisfaction of having
done all tney could to mitigate the horrors

The Troubles OF a Tou

On Monday the people of Cape Elizabeth
vote on the question of introducing Sebapo
water into the shore villages Of the town
and in another column resident Of the
farming section Of the town has something
to say on the subject. He is opposed to the
proposed expenditure, and it is difficult to
see how anybody living in the farming Sec
ton of the town can be otherwise. Sebago
water of course will do them no good. 1t
won't be in their part Of the town. What
they are asked to do is to help pay for an i'm
provement they cannot share in. A par
allel case would be the assessment of the cit
liens of Ward to introduce Sebago water
into Ward or vice versa. If such propo-
sition were made to the tax payers of Ward
Of course they would object, and of course

There seems to be misunderstanding in
regard to the scope of the proposed Mer-
chants Week. People are going about ON
inously shaking their heads and predicting
its failure because 1t failed in Boston. The
kind Of merchants week we are going to
have did not fail in Boston; 1t was great
success. The wholesale dealers did not real
lie great fortunes out of the week, but the
retail dealers did great business. 1t is
mainly for the retail trade that our Mer-
chants Week is projected, and judging by
the result in Lewiston 1t is bound to succeed.
The suggestion that the streets be cleaned in
anticipation of the event is worthy of con-
sideration, for it will be worth while making
things as attractive as possible for oul

Much is being made of the statistics Of
heinous offences committed in the city of
Washington as presented originally by the
Boston Traveller. The number of murders
is placed at 80; assaults with attempt to kill
475. while.72l persons were arrested for car
rying concealed weapons during the past five
years. This would be terrible showing for
city of the character of Portland. or Boston
or New York even, or any of the other cities
OF the country which have reasonably fixed
population. In Washington. however, 1t is
remarkable that the total is as small as il is.
Probably no other city in the world has so
few residents Of long standing as the capital
city has. And temporary residents always
have small regard for the laws and customs
of their temporary home. Then too, the in
gradients Of which the floating population is
composed, when taken in combination make
a very infammable and highly explosive
compound. Instead Of being a dreadfully
wicked city, Washington ought to be held up
to the worlds view as a wonderfully patient
and peaceable city. The wonder is that
Washington people are not treated to two or
three murders and street fights every day for
breakfast.

The Bangor News thus speaks of Miss
Marie Ware Laughton. who read in that city
few evenings since:
City Hall was filled last evening by an
appreciative audience to hear Miss Laugh
ton the celebrated elocutionist. They were
well paid for going, for seldom is better ell
ocutionist heard than Miss Laughton. The
attention of all was closely chained to the
words of the lady and on every face was por-
trayed the emotions pictured by the reader
The ladies Of the society are to be congratu-
lated upon obtaining so fine talent, for Miss
Laughton carried the audience with her.
Miss Laughton's voice and delivery are
fine. She enters into the sentiment Of what
she says and her audience forgot that she
was relating the story and saw the charac-
tiers themselves, each a living, speaking and
human being. Her audience, at times, were
moved almost to tears by her pathos and at
others burst into uncomfortable fits of laugh
ter at the drolleries of Jack. When Miss
Laughton repeated portions of the hymn,
hush like the stiffness of death fell over the
audience and many involuntarily wiped
away a tear.
Miss Laughton teaches elocution in the
Bellows School of this city.

the farming section of Cape Elizabeth object.
They would be more, or less, than human If
they did not. On the other hand there is
no doubt that the desire of the shore villages
for Sebago water is alresonable one. These
villages are thickly settled and the houses
are near together and the water supply if
not inadequate, is certainly not of the best in
quality. The only way, unless by private
subscription, they can get what they want
and perhaps actually need, is by vote of the
town, therefore it is natural enough that they
should rally in force at the town injecting on
Monday. Whatever the result of the con-
test it will involve real hardship to the
defeated party. 1t will be hardship for the
farming section ofsthe town to have to pay
for an improvement in which they cannot
share. 1t will be hardship flor the shore
villages to have to get along with their Ere
sent water supply. A town has got into a
very unfortunate condition when the char
acter and interests of its different
sections are so different that
taxes assessed upon the people of the
whole town can enure only to the benefit of
theIft siaerts of certain sections. This is the
C0nQltl0u u Odp6 EuZap6tH LOudy. IL
would not he so bad if the business of the
individuals who have to pay the larger part
of the taxes was one that afforded large re-
turns. But that is not the case. The individ-
ual tax payers of Cape Elizabeth are largely
farmers whose business is, VIGOROUSLY,
not a very profitable one and whose property
is of the visible kind that the tax asses
sors never overlooks. In the matter of taxa
ton the farmer of the Cape today is worse
off than the business man Of Portland
His rate of taxation is very little lower than
that of the city resident, as rule every
| dollars worth of property he owns Is
l assessed and he gets very meagre returns fol
his money as compared with the city resi-
dent. He gets no protection from fire, his
schools are inferisr, his roads are poor, he
has no street lights and he gets no police pro
lection, and by reason Of the growing differ
ence of interest between the sections of his
town and the consequent increasing demand
upon him to pay for improvements in which
he cannot share his situation is constantly
becoming worse instead of better.
OF course this piling of burdens upon
him cannot 60 on indefinitely. Sooner or
later he must get relief from some direction
The town must be divided, the homogeneous
sections being grouped together. or the legis
lature must fix limit. beyond which taxa
| ton cannot go.

The Halifax Chronicle doesn't hesitate to
speak right out about England's indifference
to the interests of the Newfoundland colo
nists. The British government has. it says,
treated them with as little consideration as
if they were African savages;" though
'ready to knock little Portugal into cooked
hat over some African wilderness negroes
and other wild animals, it exhibits the cour-
age Of sheep in view of French aggressions
and the rights Of British subjects in the
oldest colony of British America" The
Chronicle characterizes the French claim in
the island as ''insolent" and is glad to see
that the Newfoundlanders have got their
blood up and are determined to have their
island for themselves

What FaSciMaecS Men.

A writer in the Ladies Home Journal
has attempted to define some OF the
qualities III women that attract men.
She says:
What attracts a man is one thing;
what will hold him and command his
respect is an)ther.
A woman's smile, for example at
tracts man; but an even temper re.
talns him.
A pretty gown attracts man the
knowledge that it was inexpensive de-
lights hlm.
A pleasant manner attracts a man
brightness of brain holds him.
A knowledge cf how, when and where
to be little stately attracts Il man an
appreciation of the folly Of tllvollty
wins his respect.
A respect for the religious belief OF
every human being ATTRACTS a man; II
reverence in woman is to him abomlaa-
bic.
A consideration for his comfort at
tracts a man: : u continuation OF this
makes him your llost humble slave.

BESIDES the influenza Europe is
threatened with an epidemic which has
probably never invaded its territory. II
has its cradle in the peninsula of the
Ganges, and it is called the red fever of
India. 1t is an eruptive malady, disclos-
ing some of the characteristics of mea-
sles and scarlatina. There are in reality
two eruptious-One initial and the other
final. The attack is sudden, with weak
ness, lassitude, pain in the head, and
affected eyes, and then the first eruption
appears in the form of red blotches as
in scarlatiHa. The final eruption becomes
apparent from the fourth to the sixth
day, and resembles that of measles,
affecting the feet, hands, and the limbs,
and disappearing in its turn after a
duration of twenty-four hours. Conva-
lescence is rather slow. The disease has
hitherto been confined chiefly to Asia, but
it has recently appeared at Constantine
pie and at Prevesa. 1t is extremely con-
tagious, but the lateness of the season
may prevent its general spread through
Europe.

Judge Wallace Renders n Dec;sio,

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Judge Wallace
has handed down decision in the United
States court, holding that ex-Sheriff
Peter Bowe cannot be held accountable
for 5000, 900 seized from Leon Barnard, a
canon of the church of Rome, and also
dismissed the suit brought in the name
of the Catholic Prebendary against New
York's former sheriff The 5000, 900 in
question is part of fortune of 81, SOC, 900
that had heen accumulated by the bish-
opric of Journal, Belgium, in the course
of a century. Through a change of
bishops the great fortune was unearthed
in 1879, when Bishop Duront, for some
otfense or other, was suspended by
Bishop Durrousseau. The new prelate
managed to turn the money over to
Canon Barnard, priest of the diocese,
and the latter took it with him to this

GRAINS OF GOLD.

She who swims in sin will si1k in sor-
row.
If all things were done twice all would
be wise.
Better reap two days too soon than
one too late.
Perfection is the point at which all
should aim.
He who looks well to himself never
lacks business.
Don't growl at this world until you
are sure of better one.
To believe everything is weakness; to
believe nothing is folly.
The forgiveness of injuries is lesson
not less important than difficult.
True generosity remembers benefits
received, and forgets those conferred.
Wisdom, goodness and tranquility of
mind are solid and enriching benefits.
Itrequires much virtue to refrain from
injuries, but more to suppress resent
| ment.
He who watches to do an injury to an
other may be almost certain to inju1e
himself.
The world seldom does justice to mer-
it, but always 1atters what is called good
fortune.
Impious and high minded prosperity
is often applauded, and virtuous humil-
ity despised.
Meekness, modesty and humility, are
graces entirely independent of the shape
of the body.
If the ages of men were determined
by their virtues, many lives would be
short indeed.
1t is not uncommon for people to cen
sure others for faults to which they are
themselves addicted.
The superficial often applaud vanity
and weakness, when they fancy they are
admiring and approving virtue.
