IkenneDec Democrat, January 3.
Professor and Mrs. Hall, of Colby Univer-
sity, on returning home from taking tea
with a neighbor last Friday evening, were
surprised to find their house brilliantly
lighted up. and their establishment was fur
Their increased when they found it had been
taken possession of by crowd who seemed
be having merry time. Further examina-
ton showed the crowd to be composed Of
about fifty neighbors and friends assembled
to present their hearty congratulations on
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the prof es-
sor's wedding day. Pastor Spencer grace
fully expressed the kindly sentiments which
premises, and with many good wishes for
the neat quarter century presented beauti-
full basket of flowers, which later investiga-
ton showed to be heavily ballasted with Is
bright silver dollars, for the purchase Of
such pieces OF silverware as might be deemed
most desirable. Completely taken by sur
prise, the professor could only stammer
few words of welcome and thanks in re-
Spouse, and assure the assembly of his ap-
probation of the neighborly and fraternal
motives which had prompted and euccessful-
ly carried out the enterprise The invaders
then proceeded to distribute the supplies of
coffee and cake brought with them. In cut
ting into one very handsome frosted cake
ine silver knife-rest was brought to light
On side table were discovered beautiful
tea service, q vase, a large covered center
dish, salt and pepper boxes, all of silver.
After some time spent In social greetings,
tue party dispersed with repeated express
siOnS Of their good wishes.

Canadian Railroads.:

The Interstate Commerce Commission, in
their annual report, consider the question Oh
the competition Of the Canadian roads. in
which Portland Is so much interested that
she sent delegation to meet the Senate COM
mittee which was also investigating this SUBJ
jeet last summer. The commissioners say
that this Canadian competition is factor of
influence and increasing force, not casual
and temporary, but permanent. The Grand
Trunk has line from Chicago to Portland,
and the Canadian Pacific has line, OF will
sooE have. the commissioners say, through
line from Portland, by way of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, to st. Paul and Minne-
apolis. and on to the Pacific coast by way of
Manitoba. The commissioners conclude that
there is no doubt of the benefits accrung TO
certain portions of our country from this
competition. Northern and Central New
England, the North West as far South as
Chicago, and including Michigan, and In
gneral the whole border region, are bene.
q ed by the low rates given by the Canadian
systems. The ability Of these foreign con-
Germs to give these low rates is explained on
the ground that there is greater unity of
management with them. The American
roads are many in number and under differ
cut and sometimes hostile arrangements
Thoy not only divide the business, but re-
quire larger operating expenses as we'll III
Canada, on the other hand, there are practi-
lily only two great systems, the Grand
Trunk and the Canadian Pacific. There is,
therefore, greater union of management, and
hence greater economy. There is another
difference which operates against the Ameri-
Can through lines. Their grades over the
mountains are said to be much heavier than
the grades of the Canadian Pacific, and hence
they are at disadvantage as to the cost of
hauling. still stranger advantage of the
great Canadian route is said to be the smaller
amount of snow drifts that it has to contend
against in winter. Although lying much far
Their north, Manitoba with its dry cold at
mosphefe is said to be a much less prolific
producer OF those drifts that trouble rail-
roads than the more Southern States and
Territories of the United States. In closing
their report the commissioners call attention
60 the reciprocal privileges we enjoy in car
rying goods through Canada, especially
through the canals. This report is of course
entirely distinct from the report which Sen.
ator Culom's committee will make before
long. The commissioners parposely refrain
from making any recommendations because
of the report Of the Senate committee which
is forthcoming

A leading daily In this State, The Portland
PRESS, has, within fe " days, called atten-
ton To the tact that many thousands of dol
airs are every year invested In lottery tickets
by residents of Maine, and justly refers to
the business of the lottery managers as dis
reputable. Now and then person draws
Drize-a few thousand dollars-and thence
forth, until the slowly expiring craze Is we'll
dead, hundreds Of others send their dollars
month after month, or year after year, as
purchasers of lottery tickets. Should
not the press and the people unite to sup
press business so unworthy of support?
State laws and national laws should be made
more effective than they are against such
unrighte0us transactions.

A gentleman prominent in social and DO
litical circles In this State, whose opinions on
most questions are signaliy sound. is report
ed as saying not long ago: "rhe worlds
greatest need Is a reformation of reformers."
For the gentleman's opinions relative to mat
tiers in general we have profound respect,
but we must say that In this particular case
the saying quoted above, II regarded as
proverb for general application, is very far
from being correct and the whole history Of
human progress shows 1t to be incorrect.

Nearly two-thirds of the message Of Gov
Hill of New York is devoted to the subject
Of ballet reform. Within year the Cover
nor appears to have made some real prog
ress. the result, no doubt, or vigorous prod
ding by public sentiment. The Australian
system is no longer sneered at as mongrel
foreign system and CURLY dismissed as un-
worthy the attention of statesmen and poll
ticians. Furthermore the Governor is pre-
pared to recommend substantially all Its
features except the official ballot. He ar
CUES that that is unconstitutional, besides
putting too much power In the hands Of the
officers who are to prepare and distribute
these ballots. The official ballot is, how.
ever, the most essential features of the sys
tenn. Without 1t the system would be de.
fusion. The difficulties which Gov. Hill
processes to find exist chiefly in the Govern
or's Imagination. HilPs opposition to bal
lot reform dies hard. but If few NOR.
doses of public sentiment do not extinguisf
1t altogether the probability is that they will
render it entirely innocuous. Like the op
