THE PRESS.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10.

With the reorganization of the Auburn
Gazette, MI. Thomas E. Calvert volun-
tarily retires from the editorship. Mr..
Calvert has been prominent in Maine
Journalism fo- many years past, and his
conduct of the papers under his charge
has always been characterized by greet
intelligence, literary skill, and conscien-
tiousness. His permanent retirement
from journalism would be severe loss
to the profession.

The daily practice of this outdoor
breathing exercise has been known to in
crease the size of the chest two inches in
one month.
WHEN TO TRY ON NEW SHOES.
The best time to get fitted to shoes is
in the latter part of the day. The feet
are then at their maximum OF size. Ac-
tivity naturally enlarges them; Much
standing tends also to enlarge the feet.
New shoes should always be tried on over
moderately thick stockings. Then you
have margin of room by putting, on
thinner stockings if the shoes feel i'll at
ease.

Some of our Republican contempora-
ries are urging the Republican members
of the House of Representatives to take
off their coats and go to work to prevent
the passage of the Bland free coinage bill
For our part we see no occasion for such
disrobing. The House is Democratic by
a two-thirds majority, made SO largely by
the shout of the SO called Independents
that the Republicans could no longer be
trusted to legislate for the country and
that its salvation depended upon handing
over that function to the Democracy. 1t
was handed over accordingly, and now
the proper thing for the Republicans to
do is to allow the Democracy to work
their will. Of course we do not
mean that the Republicans should assist
in the passage of the silver bill; they
should on the contrary speak against it
and vote against, but they should resort
to no parliamentary lodges or throw any
technical distractions in the Democratic
pathway. The country will not be en-
dangered by giving the Democrats full
swing. A Republican Senate and Re-
publican President can and will stop
their mischief before it reaches the
country. All the Democrats can do is to
show the country the bent of their party
on the most vital questions of the day,
and to do that they should be afforded
every facility which does not imply con-
nivance on the part of the Republicans. 1t
will be of great benefit for the country to
obtain a knowledge in an authoritative
way of the tendencies of the Democratic
party, and we can be certain that such
knowledge will bring no detriment to the
Republicans. So we say that the Demo-
cratic House should have it's own way; let
it pass the silver bill and the tariff bill.
The less it is INSTRUCTED the sooner will
it relieve the country of all danger of
having for its next President Democrat.

self interviewed by the Portland cores

The Belfast journal of this week pub
fishes the following:

The Waterville Mail seems disposed to de-
fend, and to continue, its mud-slinging. That OF
course, it is at perfect liberty to do. But we
think the public, or at least the Republicans of
this district should know who is making such
unworthy use of a Republican paper. We are
glad to know that it is not Congressman Mill
ken. We have a private note from him, under
date of Washington, D. c., Feb. Is, in which he
asks us to emphaticaly deny that he has had
anything to do with the Objectionable article in
the Mail, or has ever suggested or inspired
abuse of any candidate for office. That is GER
tainly broad enough to cover the case, and we
will frankly say in this connection that we had
never connected Mr. Milliken with this matter.
Suspicion points in another direction. Some of
our exchanges have said that the editor of the
Mail should not be held responsible for these
articles, as they are contributed; and it has
bureau" at Augusta, whose activity in other d-
Tections Is manifest. Whoever is the response
BILE party, or parties, they must have learned by
this time, from the well nigh unanimous voice Of
the Maine press, that it would be well to call
off their dogs.
When it is remembered that the Mail
has been laboring in behalf of Congress
man Milliken the above reputation of
its most stirring articles by that gentle
man takes on most cruel aspect. If the
Mail has any spunk left it will promptly
throw Mr.. Milliken overheard and es-
pouse the cause of the Hon. J. FL. Man
ley.

THE lecture of Professor John Fiske
which is to be delivered at the Unity
auditorium this evening, is an event of no
small interest. professor Fiske," saws
the Tacoma Ledger, sis not only an emil
nent writer and lecturer on historical sub
jects, but he is profound student of his
tory especially the history of this country
and his lectures are as famous for the
information they contain as for their
finished style and eloquence In other
cities lectures by well-informed men are
popular, not more on account of the enter
tainment than for the information they
give. If the lecturer is specially well in
formed, as he usually is, upon the topic he
discusses, he is able to give his audience in
a couple of hours talk an outline picture
which has cost him years of study to pre-
pare the material for and arrange. The
listener gets, for the listening, as much per
haps as he will care to know about a sub
ject-as much at any rate as a generally
well-lnformed person will need to know,
and his stock of information is by so much
increased. To acquire the same informa-
ton from books would take more time
than he could possibly give, and it would
require labor besides. Through the lecture
he gets it as entertainment, and of a very
profitable kind"

CHINEsE EXCLUSION.

That the Chinese should be excluded
from this country is apparent to every
true American who has given the matter
thought and attention. The Chinaman
does not come here with the intention
Of becoming an American citizen, nor with
the intention of making this country his
permanent home. This alone is indicative
that he is actuated by selfish motives, and
that he is here only for the revenue and to
hoard up gold. If he is at all patriotic his
patriotism is based upon his love for the
country from which he comes and to which,
dead or alive, he intends to return. These
facts are daily corroborated by the Chinese
population of Olympia, and is true of all
the cities on the Pacific coast.
The policy of the American government
is to welcome all who come here for the
purpose of becoming citizens, but as the
Chinese have no such intention, there is
no doubt that the government has right
and justice on its side in excluding them.
The United States is large enough for all
who are its citizens, but it is too small for
those who seek to live in it for the sole
purpose of boarding up money while re-
tanning their allegiance to another country.

DEMOCRATS seem to be disturbed at pres
ent by what, if they could give. expression
to their convictions, are the potentialities
OF possibilities. Can Cleveland or Hill get
the electoral vote of Kew York as the
democratic candidate for president2 Can
either one Of them without that vote be-
come the next president of the United
states 2 In considering these questions
the democrats are, without excuse, foun-
dering in conjecture. If they will only
remember that the nominee of the Mime
aPolls convention, whoever he may be, will
be the next president of the United States
they can save themselves a vast deal of
trouble.

SHEEP AND wool.

Without protection the raising of sheep
and the growing of wool would not be profit
able in the United States. In the semi
tropical countries of Australia, South
America and New Zealand sheep Craze the
year round, and labor is very cheap. In
the United States sheep must be fed and
cared for five months in the year. It is,
therefore, evident that we cannot compete
with those countries in sheep raising. The
only means left us is a duty high enough
to keep their wool out of our country, and
thus encourage our own farmers to pro-
duce our own mutton and wool
The American wool clip amounts to
3OO,0OO0OO pounds per annum. The best
private authorities place it higher than
this, and it is pretty clear that the govern
ment estimates are too low. But the
figures given here are within bounds.
It's annual value varies with the condi-
ton of the market from $75,OOO 900 to $780,
100000. 1t stands sixth in value on the
list of American agricultural products, and
is surpassed only by corn, hay, wheat, cot
ton and oats. The number of sheep is
estimated at 5O,OOO,OOO, worth on an average
something over 50 each, or not less than
$1OO, 900.
If the annual product of mutton for food,
and the increase of the focks in prosperous
times were added to the value of the wool,
the total amount would exceed $125, ,OOO, 900.
The total production of the world, so
far as it comes within the field of statistics,
amounts to about two thousand millions of
pounds, Of which this country furnishes
nearly one-sixth part. This important
proportion must be considered in estimat-
ing the effect of legislation tending to dis
courage our sheep husbandry

far, no conclusion in the matter has been
reached. Some favor a series of terraces
sloping from Seventh street the entire
length of the square, while others think a
better plan would be to have the whole
square levelled to the grade of Seventh
street and terraced on Sixth street, which
would probably cost a little more, but
would be more satisfactory. In either case
it is proposed to have the square laid out
in walks, flower beds and shrubbery 1t is
to be hoped that the city council will soon
take some action in the matter A small
sum expended judiciously will improve the
appearance of the public square and will
create place which will be attractive and
rebound to the credit of the city.

IMPROVE THE SQUARE.

The public square, which is the scene of
delightful concerts every Saturday evening,
given by the Capital City Band, is one of
the places that should receive immediate
attention by the city authorities. In its
present condition it is anything but pre-
possessing, and stands as an object of ad-
verse criticism by the many strangers who
visit the capital city. The city has arrived
at that stage Of development where park,
such as the public square could be converted
into, would be Of inestimable value.
Several plans have been suggested as to
the best method Of improvement, and, so

Writers of Famous Hymns.

1t seems to be a singular fact that
apparently nothing in a literary way
will relegate a writer to oblivion so
o o as to be the author of a world ia
nous hymn. AS instances of this the
Boston Globe gives the following:
Nearly every one has heard or sung
the lines of ''Shall we gather at the
river?" and yet how many know even
the name of the author, much less the
fact that he is living?
The writer is the Rev. Robert Lowry,
d. D., a resident of Piainfield N. j.
In Richmond, Ills, lives DR.. S. Fill
more Bennett. To how many is that
name familiar, and yet to whom is his
familiar church song, "In the Sweet
By and By" not known?
In the interior of New York State is
the home of Mrs. Annie Sherwood
Hawks, who wrote those famous lines,
III need Thee every hour"
Hardly known and never recognized
on the streets of New York as she goes
out, is Fannie Crosby, the author of
many famous hymns. among them
being, Safe in the arms of Jesus"
1t is odd that the veil of obsurity
should seem to be drawn over the fame
of those whose pens have given US the
hymns that have brought consolation
and joy to SO many thousands.
