From the Boston Congregationolist IL Feb }

Our experience as a nation with the Indians
seems in danger of being repeated with the
Alaskan Esquimaux. These people have de-
pended for food chiefly on seal, salmon,
whale, walrus and caribou. The appearance
of the white man along their shores, with
improved methods in fishing and hunting,
is rapidly exhausting these supplies. Already
villagessare reduced in their populations, and
starvation threatens many. The remedy pro-
posed is for the Government to introduce
domesticated deer from Siberia, and to teach
the natives how to care for and propagate
these animals. Congress only needs further
, 1891-04-08

to provide for the establishment of agricul-
tural experiment stations and schools. 1t
is to be hoped hat these steps may be speed
iy taken.

Unjust Criticism

We were among those Republicans who
opposed the nomination of Gov. Burleigh
for the only reason that we sincerely be-
lieved that fair political dealings would
have given the nomination to Gov. Marble.
But a majority of the Republicans of
Maine selected him as their standard
bearer and the people elected him as
chief magistrate. That he has made an
honest Governor and has administered
the aft ,irs of the State faithfully and with
ability we believe cannot be denied by the
uDprejudiced.
We therefore regret to see certain
newspapers of the State attempting to as
sail his well earned reputation for integ-
rity as public servant by iutimations
that he did something wrong in accepting
compensation for his services as MEM
Der of the State House Commission while
holding the office of Governor. We be-
lieve there is nothing In these "charges"
from either legal, equitable. moral or
logical standpoint. He was placed upon
this commission by an act of the State
without even seeking for 1t. He Is just
as fairly aud clearly entitled to receive
pay for his labors under that commission
as he would have been to have received
fees from his county II the Supreme
Court had appointed him referee In law
case.
The Governors time when not engaged
in his oiIlcia, duties Is his own. II a law
yer, he practices In court; II a farmer, he
attends to farming and so on. The Leg
islsture appointed him to transact some
State business as entirely separate and
distinct from his duties as Governor az to
attend to lawsuit for the state In the
courts. To say that In either case he is
not entitled to pay because he happens to
he the Executive, is ~ absurd and ridicu.
lous as to say that he cannot saw his owr
wood. which hesreally ought to do under
the present meagre and inadequate salary
| which he receives.

Bangor and Aroostook r. r.

What many consider the most feasible
scheme for opening up the the county of
Aroostook with railroad communication Is
the one now receiving the consideration
of the railroad commissioners, and seek
ing charter under the general law. This
charter is asked for by 10 prominent and
wealthy citizens of Penobscot and Aroos
took counties. The name Of the propos-
ed route is the Bangor & Aroostook. The
road is to be standard guage, and Is to be
constructed from the junction OF the Ban
gor & Katahdin Iron sWorks Railway
(now under lease to the Bangor and Pts
cataquis Railroad) In Brownville to the
village of Presque Isle and also to Ash
land. From Brownvile to Pressure Isle
Is about 1876 miles. The capital stock is
fixed at 81 ,050,00O, divided into 10000
shares at $1,000 each. The men named
for directors are Albert A. Burleigh of
Houlton. Chas. A. Gibson, Hiram II.
Fogg, Frederick Fl. Appleton and Chas.
T. Bragg of Bangor. There are nineteen
subscribers to the stock, each with the
exception Of Albert A. Burleigh, who
subscribes for 1850 shares, subscribing
for $50 shares. Their names are: j. p.
Bass, f. II. Appleton, Chas. V. Low,
Geo. Stetson, N. Z. Bragg, Chas. A. Glib
son, Z. l.. Stewart, G. G. Prescott, B. B.
Thatcher, Philo A. Strickland, A. H.
Thaxter, N. C. Aver, Sam'l Stems, H. p.
Oliver, II. II. Fogg and 9. F. Bragg, Ban
gor Albert A, Burleigh, Houltop Almon
II. Fogg, Houlton; Willis Shaw, New
Lemerick. The articles state that the
whole amount Of capital stock has been
subscribed and that five per cent, thereon
has been paid into the directors. A route
similar to the one proposed by these gen.
tlemen was Surveyed some eight years
ago and Is through an undeveloped and
wonderfully fertile country. The railroad
commissioners give hearing on the
articles of association next Friday.

Women and Their Dogs In Paris.

Women and Their Dogs In Paris.
Women here, as yin LONDON, have an
Unsuitable mania fVr carrying or leading
by chain pug dogs of all degrees of ugli-
ness. One afternoon, during shower
Of rain, one was seen walking along the
Quai Jemmapes, where q number of
workmen had inst finished discharging
. cargo of coal from barge. The lady
held in one hand an umbrella, with
which she carefully protected from the
least drop of wet an ugly little dog with
o gorgeous blue ribbon round its neck.
By her side trotted her daughter, little
girl about 8 years old, her shoes not 80
waterproof as they might have been,
who, deprived of the protection Of the
umbrella monopolized by the dog, was
rapidly getting drenched.
As she was about to cross the bridge
which spans the canal one of the coal
beavers went up to her and said, "Allow
me, madam, to relieve you Of your dog,
SO that you may carry your girl to the
other eide" The woman accepted the
offer, but when the party arrived at the
other end of the bridge the coal HEAVIER
threw the pug into the canal, telling its
mistress at the same time, That's q les
SON to you not to shelter q dog while
your child is getting wet"
The woman screamed and soon q crowd
collected, to whom she pathetically mar.
rated the assassination Of her pet. Two
policemen at her instigation took the
coal HEAVIER to the station, but the super
intendent declined to formulate any
charge against him. All abe could do,
he told her, was to bring civil action
for the value Of her dog. She left the
station apparently much dissatisfied
with the decision. Paris Cor. London

Ex-chIef Justice Appleton.

Ex-Chief Justice John Appleton died
suddenly Saturday at 1890 at his home
In Bangor, after short illness from a
cold. He was nearly 81 years of age.
The Hon. John Appleton was promi-
nent figure In Maine for many years. In
early life he moved from Sebec to Ban
guT; .-share he at once took high stand
at the bar. He ..hly filed the office of re-
porter Of decisions OF Tic supreme judi
cial court for one year, and i11c5cs..s~ha
was appointed judge of the court by
Gov. John Hubbard. the Democratic ex-
ecutive of the State, Notwithstanding he
was Wing and had opposed the cleo
ton of His Excellency. This was a very
high testimonial to his fitness and quail
tications for this high office. In 1869
Judge Appleton was promoted to be
Chief Justice, serving until the expiration
Of his term in 1883. Forty volumes of
reports Of decisions of cases heard be,
fore and decided by the court, were pub.
lished while he was Associate Justice and
Chief Justice.
He presided over this court for 81 con.
secutive years. In the administration OF
this great trust he was eminently capable
and faithful and honest.

Reciprocity Successful.

The Presidents proclamation announc-
ing the consummation Of the great recip-
rocal trade instituted by his administers
ton Is the general theme of conversation
in diplomatic and political circles at
Washington. The rapidity with which
the negotiations were carried through is
regarded as most remarkable. The scope
of it's provisions is more extensive than
anyone here supposed could be secured
but 1t appears that Brazil was as ar xious
In this direction as was our government.
This Is only the forerunner Of q number
of treaties of similar kinds with other
South American republics and with Mex
leo. 1t Is also said that treaty with
Spain for reciprocity with Cuba Is well
under way. The only two South Ameri.
can countries with which not much pro.
gress has been made In negotiating
treaties are Chilli and Peru. This is ow.
ing probably to the disturbed condition
of these governments. 1t Is admitted
now that 1t is only necessary to establish
steamship communications with the ma
tions south of US to add enormously to
the foreign trade Of our country. This
fact, 1t is hoped by the friends of the
shipping b II, will stimulate the house to
adopt this measure.
