In the most recent of the series of articles
on the Atlantic steamship lines, now run
ming in Scribner's Magazine, statement is
made OF the casualties of travel on these
lines. 1t was In 1888 that the Sirius crossed
the ocean. From that date until 1879 one
hundred and forty-four steamers were lost
between America and Europe. OF these,
twenty-four never reached the ports for
which they sailed and their fates are still
unknown. Ten were burned at sea, eight
were sunk in collisions and three were sunk
by Ice. In the dozen years since 1879 there
have probably been smaller proportion of
disasters than during any similar period be-
tween 1888 and 1879. This shows that sci
ence and experience are gradually getting
the better, even of the exceedingly difficult
perils that beset the ocean steamer. Some of
the disasters in former years were most aw-
full. In 1S41 the steamer President disap.
peared mysteriously. In 1854 the City of
Glasgow sailed with 4S0 souls on board. and
no one Of them was ever seen or heard of
again. Five hundred and sixty-two souls
perished the same year by the collision of
the Arctic with the Vesta, a tragedy that is
familiar from Henry Ward Beecher's vivid
description of the .Loss of the Arctic" In
1856 the Pacific. of the same line, the Collins
line, sailed with 2S6 persons aboard and was
never heard of again. In 1853 the Austria
was burned at sea with loss OF All lives. In
1878 the Atlantic ran ashore near Sambro,
and $50 lives were lost. The four years
from 1854 to 1858 must have been very trying
to the nerves of travellers across the Allan
tic, for enough passengers were lost in that
period to make an annual average of about
z50. The disasters of the present day are
almost always accompanied with far less
loss of life. Steamers are more safely con.
structed with water-tight compartments that
enable them to float long after holes are
stove In their bulls. Then the life-saving
service of the coasts is more efficient. One
OF the greatest disasters of recent years was
the sinking of the magnificent Oregon, off
Fire Island. Every soul aboard was saved.

The order Of the treasury department in
regard to Canadian railroads which was said
some time ago to be ready for issue, still
hangs fire, and the report is that the law
officers OF the department have found some
serious legal obstacles to the issuing of such
al order as was proposed. Furthermore
there have been some very vigorous protests
from New England and the Northwest
against interference with the present bond
log arrangements. 1t is now believed that
the Treasury will attempt nothing more
than some slight modification Of the present
arrangement in the direction of securing
greater protection to the revenue

judgment of their contemporaries. But
many of the Tories were among the most
eminent and respectable people in the col

on question respecting the obligations of
loyalty aad unquestionably they were wrong

Both the Ohio and Illinois legislatures
have passed ballot reform laws. The law
passed by the former is very much like the
Massachusetts law, except that the candi.
dates are grouped by parties. A unique
feature OF the Illinois law is the provision
which gives to working men two hours ON
election day without being locked by their
employers.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

benjamin Chandler of Auburn has just been
petitioned into insolvency as the result of
foolish light over a piece of land of slight
value. The case is familiar one in Andres
coggln county. 1t originated nearly eight
years ago over dispute about piece of
land In the south of Auburn which is worth,
so good judges say, about $50. The case first
came into the court on trespass case,
Chandler suing one Royal and obtaining a
verdict OF 80 which was paid. Royal then
Chandler on writ of entry to settle the title
Of the practically worthless piece of land.
The case has been going back and forth In
the law and supreme courts costing both
parties large sums Of money. 1t was finally
decided In Mr.. Royals favor and there is
now due him $514 on costs allowed by the
courts. In the course of collecting this he
has petitioned Mr.. Chandler into insolvency.
Mrs, Helen Friend Robinson, of Boston,
until the past year or two a resident of Ban

novel and interesting character which has
been entered for trial in the Supreme Judi
cial Court at Alfred this term by firm Of
Lewiston attorneys. The action is brought
against Mrs. Henrietta Woodman of Saco,
the account annexed to the writ claiming a
recovery of four hundred dollars for "chaper-
onage" and services for her daughter, Miss
Carrie Cleayes, now Mrs. Hugh Grant
alleges services OF the plaintiff from Febru-
airy u to June 10. 1890, or from the date of
Miss Cleaves' departure upon her European
trip until she left the party to return home.

New York is thinking of following the ex-
ample Of Maine in forming state board of
trade. AT the last session of the New York
legislature there were some attempts to en-
graft radical tax laws upon the code of the
state. There was listing bill somewhat
similar to the one that died in the legislature
Of Maine last winter. The commercial
bodies of the various cities of New York
state were alarmed. and got together for
mutual help in averting the proposed legis-
lation. They were successful, and are now
thinking Of what was thought of.in Maine
some time ago, a permanent organization.
The motto of Maine is "Dirigo."

terest and more or less surprise each wear

One John Young Brown, whom the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky have dug out of obscurity
In order that he may be their candidate for
Governor, has declared In his speech accept
ing the nomination, II regard the mission of
the Democratic party as second only to that
of the Christian religion ITSELF" Let us see.
Just at present the Democratic party is fav-
oring financial policy that would debase
the dollar to seventy-five cents; 1t favors the
least possible restrictions to the liquor
traffic; 1t applauds and extpls statesmen of
the stamp who sneak out of the National
House of Representatives by back stairways
in order to stop the transaction of the public
business; it is the mother of Tamnany, and
the protector of the ballot box suffers of the
South; 1t is the apologist for the assassiDa-
ton OF Clayton; and the upholder of the
barefaced fraud that has counted out the
only Republican representative elected in
South Carolina on the pretext that the bal
lots cast for him were invalid because they
had the word "for" printed before his name.
The Democratic party may be second to the
Christian religion but there must be millions
OF miles of deserts in the stretch between
them; and all other human institutions must
be pretty mean concerns.

Some Western farmers have got heavily
In debt and mortgaged their farms. Senator
PETER proposes that the government come to
their assistance and advance them as much
money as they may need at an expense of
one or two per cent. per annum. AS the
government has no money except what the
people contribute to it Mr.. PETERS PROPOSE
ton is practically to levy upon one part of
the community for the support of another.
The farmers, having got in debt. must be
helped out by the butchers. the bakers and
the candlestick makers. This, of course,
is very pleasant arrangement for the
farmer, but the butcher and the baker,
we imagine, will not find it so agree
able. And this suggests one of the
obstacles to the success of any such leg
islation as Mr.. PETER proposes, namely. that
the people who are not going to receive, but
to give, will strenuously kick against it.
We are inclined to think that Mr.. PETERS
scheme would have more chance of success
at least more chance of getting a hearing-if
he would broaden it so as to include every
body who is short financially. Let mer-
chants who have got behindhand, fishermen,
doctors, lawyers and ministers, all be given
the same chance as the farmers. That will
greatly popularize Mr.. PETERS plan and send
MS scheme whooping to victory, and
MS name laundering down the ages as
the great benefactor of the human race who
discovered way in which people may eat
their cake and have it, too.

One would think the correspondents would
get tired of inventing yarns about Mr.
Blaine's health, but apparently the business
is very fascinating one. 1t began as long
ago as 1884, when he was said to be afflicted
with Bright's disease, and could not possibly
live but few years at most. Since then
there is hardly disease known to the medi-
cal faculty but he has had, or been threat
ened with, according to these veracious cor
respondents. When Mr.. Blaine is seriously
Ill the public will probably be informed of
the fact by trustworthy medical authority.
Meanwhile the best way to treat the sensa-
uonal stories from Washington is to dismiss
them as unworthy of serious consideration.
Petitions are in circulation and receiving
many signatures asking the school committee
to change the date ofthe closing of the spring
term OF the schools from July to June 26.
The ground of the request is that the health
OF both scholars and teachers demand that
that the schools close as early as possible in
the summer so as to avoid the hot weather.
Inc petitioners think it would be better to
shorten the summer vacation on the other
end, or, better still, shorten or diminish on
OF the winter or spring vacations rather than
extend the spring term into July when we
are liable to have our hottest weather. The
position of the petitioners seems to be we'll
taken, and 1t Is difficult to see why the ar
rangement suggested cannot be made with
out detriment to the school. Certainly the
request should receive thoughtful considera-
tion from the committee.

Deep mining is to be resumed on

five years during which operations
were limited to the 1900 and upper
levels. Tho water which has filed
the mines will now be pumped ont;
and IS soon as this operation shall be

work will probably be resumed on the

This will revive interest in mining
