ABrItish view OF che American TariG

ABrItish View of the American Tariff
sAe6ield Daily Telegraph
HThe promoters of tho Mckinley tariff
meant 1t to push forward the policy of
America for the Americans. One method
OF realizing It was to keep all work within
their own dominions. The country was to
BIO made self.supplyinE what could be
produced Mt home was not to BIO bought
abroad. That was the keynote of tho Me-
Kinley scheme, and it's working out the
idea of Its d esigners with the precision and
effectiveness of a machine"

Not Afraid of Negro Domination.
Democratic politicians express the
awful apprehension that the south
would be cursed with "negro domina-
ton" If there were a free ballot and a
fair count in that region.
The 1NTE1IIeENcER has suggested
from time to time that if the negroes
were voting the Democratic ticket the
white Democrats OF the south would
not make any objection to them as vo-
tiers.
Here is straw which the INTEILreEN-
GER has the pleasure to take from the
editorial columns OF the Register:
The Democratic party Is split into two fac:
tons each being headed BY gaSerPTatoIF1Gl
In 1890 was gf4IO. there Is little prospect that
the regular ticket will secure much more than
one-third Of this plurality. The kolb or boiling
faction, not content with dividing the party,
has made overtures to the Peoples party aud
the negro voters with the hope Of securing the
support OF both in the state election in return
for aid in the national election on November s.
The reference is to Alabama 1t will
be seen that these Kolb Democrats are
not afraid of NEGRO domination. {"
What they want is success at the polls,
and if the negro will help them they
will take him gladly.
When the negro ceases to be Re-
publican he ceases to be offensive to
Democrats. Els change of heart at
once invests him with the odor Of sane
tity.

The GREATEST TELESCOPE.
The Gift of NIr. Yerkes to the University
- of Chicago.

The Gift of Mr. Yerkes to the University
of Chicago.
Mr.. Charles T. Yerkes is one or Jne
best known of Chicago's many famous
citizens. He went to the Illinois me-
tropolis several years ago from Phlladel-
phia and bought the North Side street
railway. He substituted cable system
for horse cars, and the bitches IN gettlng
the new plant to work properly aroused
the wrath of patrons and the anlmoslty
of the papers.
But Mr.. Yerkes kept on Saving
wood" keeping his temper, improving
details and raking in the nickels. Next
he appeared before the public as the pur-
chaser of the West Side car lines, and his
latest act to call out adverse comment
from the critics was his arrangement for
erecting a handsome tombstone IN ad-
vance of death in Brooklyn's famous
Greenwood cemetery.
just now, however, Mr.. Yerkes is a
very popular man. Some time ago the
president of the University OF Chicago,
which has been more richly endowed at
the start than any other educational IN
stitute in the world, decided that an OBJ
servatory would be a good thing to have.
A great many rich men had contributed
toward giving the university big SEND
off, and of course could hardly be called
on for additional bounty.
But President Harper CHANGED to rec
ollect that some one had told him that
Mr.. Yerkes had remarked that ne was
much interested in the new educational
enterprise, and would be glad to help 1T
along if his aid was needed. therefore,
when the street railway magnate got
back from a European trip recently, MT.
Harper visited him and told him what
was wanted. It was desirable that the
scope of the astronomical department
should be as wide as that of the univer-
sity's other branches. A great telescope
was necessary to insure this result, as
well as an observatory fitted up with
every instrument for which there IS use
in studying the armament. Itcould not
be said what the cost would be.
s'Then go ahead and find out" said
Mr.. Yerkes. s'Build the finest and
largest telescope in the world and get
every adjunct needed to make the OBJ
servatory the most complete anywhere.
I'll pay the BILL"
With the Kent chemical laboratory,
the Field biological laboratory, the
Ryerson physical laboratory and the
Walker museum, the Yerkes observatory
will make the scientific equipment of
the university the finest in the coun-
try. The fame of the great telescope
will round the world. twill add to the
reputation of the university and the city,
not to speak of Mr.. Yerkes.

Golden wedding.

Rev. r. III. Kimball and wife celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage
at their residence at Cape Elizabeth on
the afternoon and evening of the 10th
inst. There were large number of
friends present from Waterville, Lewis
ton, Augusta, Portland, Cape Elizabeth
and other places. After bountiful sup
per, with ice cream and cake, the compa-
ny gathered in the parlor, where the
Rev. D. B. Randall, who united Mr.. and
Mrs. Kimball in marriage fifty years ago,
addressed the company. He briefly al
luded to the events of the last fifty years.
Among these was the successful minis
try of Mr.. Kimball, with the valuable
help he had received from his devoted
and efficient wife. He then requested
the parties to stand and join hands. After
repeating the marriage ceremony, to
which they had assented, he said, "As
you have SO faithfully kept your pledges,
it is not necessary to marry you again;
please sit down." which they did amid
the applause of the company. The
presents were numerous and valuable.
Among them was nest of eagles and
eaglets Only one person, beside the OAR
ties and clergyman, who was present at
their marriage, is now living, and she
was present ON this occasion.

Outline plans of the observatory and
telescope have already been agreed upon.
The site hasn't been chosen.
''This is still an open question:, said
Professor Hale. ga great telescope
cannot be moved around like piece
of furniture, and it must be located
where the best conditions for its use
will obtain for years to come. Of course
it will be in Chicago and not too far.
from the university We shall have to
avoid site too near buildings or that is
liable to be invaded by builders. Smoke
is one Of the things we must get away
from. It is an enemy to the astronomer.
even if only a light film. The atmos-
phere of Chicago is by no means bad for
observations. It is as good as that OF
Germany, England and parts of France
The object glass of the big telescope
will be between forty and forty-five
inches. If the latter size is selected the
glass will exceed the diameter of the
Lick telescope by nine inches. The tube
of the telescope will be between sixty
and seventy feet long. twill be swung
on huge columns, but its movements
will be controlled by simply pressing a
button in "a keyboard, which sets in
operation an electric motor.
The observatory will contain several
telescopes besides the large one. There
will be two of twelve inches and others
smaller, as well as every variety OF in
strument known and needed in the ex-
ploration of the armament.
The glasses will cost between $4,000
and So, 1000 The mounting. will reach
probably 100000. The dome will cost
$1,000, and to this sum must be added
the cost of the observatory equipment.
The observatory will be in operation
in year, though the great telescope
will not be. It will probably be mounted
by the same concern which set up the
Lick glass. 1t will require three years
and perhaps longer to grind the lens
from the rough.

Personally we have no
hard feelings against Col

America. lie was out to
discover something and
perhaps it was fortunate
that what he discovered
was too big for him to carry
away with him and America
was bound to be discovered
some time anyway. Besides
it is sad to think what might
have happened to Columbus
if America had not been
there to be found. Ut is a
striking example Of western
enterprise that the innapi-

have tried to persuade inno-
cent settlers that their town

The sailors will be betting now on the
Annie Lewis and Sarmiento, the two
Portland banks which left this harbor at
10 a. M, Wednesday for Buenos Ayres.
The Annie Lewis is commanded by
Capt. w. H. Lewis, and the Sarmiento
by Capt. Chas Hutton, who formerly
went as mate with Capt. Lewis. Each
captain knows how to make time in q
good bark, and the times of arrival will
probably not be far apart.
