IN HONOR OF PRINCES INDEPEN
DENCE''

The first demonstration in honor of
Alderman Prince outside of the editorial
column of the Eastern Argus, occurred
on Market street one door below the
Agency. A brief account of the affair
was published in the Argus yesterday in
these words:
Bill Poster Shaw 1oated the American flag in
nonor OF Alderman Princes independence.
Bill Poster Shaw's establishment is
situated on Market street a door or two
below the Agency. Besides being the
headquarters Iof the bill posting bust
ness, Mr.. Shaw's establishment is
the headquarters of an organization
known as the idle Sons of Rest" The
idle sons of rest are all that their name
implies and considerable more. We
have not at hand the roster of tho club,
but we understand it contains the names
of a number of local celebrities. There
is no question that the most of them are
idle and for much of the time, and that
some of them frequently get very tired
and need rest. Some of them have been
known to rest as many as thirty days at
q stretch In a way they are public bene-
factors, contributing occasionally to the
expenses of the city and county. There
has been much sickness among them
during the past year, and the drug store
they have generally patronized has been
kept by Mr.. Daniel J. Carr. There is
reason to believe that some of them have
become so dependant upon Mr.. Carr S
preparations that cessation of the sup
ply for a few days would be productive
of great distress. Naturally these sckly
gentlemen viewed with great alarm the
prospect that the agency might be closed,
and their gratitude to Alderman Prince
for averting the danger is boundless.
No doubt there are many other organi-
cations in the city made up of compo-
nent parts similar to those of the Idle
Sons of Rest, who have derived great
satisfaction from Alderman Princes vote
and are very loud in praise of his indie
pendence. Possibly Mr.. Prince will de-
rive much consolation from tributes to
his independence from such sources.
They are about all the sources common
datioR will come from.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Greek Poets in English Verse by vari-
Gus translators, edited by William Hyde
Appleton, professor of Greek in Swath-
more College, is an attempt, eminently
successful, to do for Greek poetry.
through the medium of translations.
what has so often been done for English
poetry; that is, to give to the reader,
within the compass of single volume.
some idea of its wealth, and at the same
time, as the editor avows, to stimulate
and guide him to further and more
thorough reading. The work entirely
meets all reasonable anticipation, and
the notes, few and unpretentious, are a
very considerable aid to the reader; while
the introduction, charmingly written, is
delightful survey of the field of Greek
poetry as well as a scholarly discussion
of the comparative merits of the dis
tinguIshed translators of whose versions
the editor has availed himself. The
choice of TRANSACTIONS could not be wiser.
AS interpreters of the Had we have
George Chapman, whose vigorous phras-
ing has been the delight of Englishmen
since the days of Elizabeth, Pope in his
familiar couplets, Cowper and Bryant,
and in one instance Hawtrey, whose mag
nificent Helen in the Walls, in the hex
ameter measure of the original, Matthew
Arnold calls the most successful attempt
ever made to render Homer into English.
For the Odyssey are given Worsley's
Spenserian stanzas, the ballad measure
of Maginn, Mrs. Browning's daughters
of Pandarus, Stedman's admirable YER
sion of the interview with Agamemnon
in Hades, and Leigh Hunts rendering of
the arrival of Hermes at Calypso's grotto.
The tragic poets are, represented by the
well-known versions of Milman, Anstice.
Mrs. Browning, Robert Browning, Shelley
and Symonds, while we have Aristoph-
anes in the wonderfully faithful and
sympathetic translation of Frere. The
other Greeks, Theocritus, Pindar,
Anacreon, Meleager, Mosehus, and half a
dozen more, are represented by some of
the most distinguished names in Eng
fish verse.
The book is published by Houghton
Miffilin & Company, Boston, and is for
sale in this city by Loring, Short &
Harmon. Price $3.50.

The decision of Theodore Roosevelt to
continue upon the civil service commits
sion at the request of President Cleve-
land makes it certain that one member
of that body at least will be something
more than a lay figure. Mr.. Roosevelt
has been quick to discover and rebuke
violations of the law by Republicans, and
he will be no less vigilant with the Demo-
Gratis. His selection by the President
will not, we imagine, be received with
enthusiasm by the ''boys.''

The paragraph in yesterdays PRESS
concerning the meeting of the directors
of the Gas Company conveyed an errone-
GUS impression. Apparently the direct
ors have practically decided to reduce
the price of gas, but in view Of the lal ge
expenditures necessary for the repair of
the company's works special dividend
will not probably be declared. The
regular dividend will be paid as usual.
How much the reduction will be remains
to be seen. But we see no reason why
the price should not be reduced as low as
in Springfield, Massachusetts,, namely,
$1.4o per thousand feet. Portland is as
fayorably situated for the manufacture
OF gas as Springfield, and probably more
favorably.

Unless Chinese laborsrs are provided

iy few have registered, the great MAORI
ty having taken the advice of the Six
Companies to await the testing of the con-

preme Court. If the court decides it
unconstitutional the Cinnamon who
have neglected to obey it are all right.
If the decision is otherwise they will all
be subject to immediate arrest and de-
portation, for they will have failed to
comply with the requirements Of the
law in the test specified, and no subse-
quent willingness to comply will do them
any good, unless Congress comes to their

The Argus is right in saying that AL
derman Guptill was bulldozed. He was
undoubtedly, But the bulldozers were
not Republicans but members of those
hightoned organizations known as the
Falmouth Club and the Young Mems
Democratic Club. 1t took but twenty
four hours of pressure by these organiza
lions upon Mr.. Guptill to compel him to
surrender his ''self respect and his re-
gard for tbs public interest. Yes Mr..
Guptill was bulldozed-very effectually
bulldozed.

CONTINUE THE FIGHT.

The passage of the repeal bill by
the Senate takes away the hast hope
for silver during the present admin
istratiou. The methods by which
this result has been achieved are
we'll known to those who have kept
watch Of events since the Inaugural
ton Of President Cleveland. On one
side has been arrayed the banking
interests of the country. backed up
by the tremendous power Of Presi-
DENTAL patronage. On the other,
stood handful of Senators, from the
West an1 South, pleading for the
money OF the Constitution aud the
interests, not only Of the people Of
the mining States, but Of the iaboring
people everywhere.
Party lines have been broken down
and the spectacle OF the iceberg Of
Ohio joining hands and marching
under the leadership Of the tall
Sycamore of the Wabash, has been
presented to the American people.
Harmony supreme has reigned in the
Senate Chamber between the two
wings of the money power. Party
pledges have been cast to the WIN DIS
and party platforms treated as trlfes
too light for serious consideration.
The money OF the people, stricken
down by the combined power Of ag-
gregated wealth and Presidential
patronage, now lies bleeding from
tho traitorous blows of pretended
friends. No honeyed words and
eloquent phrases will deceive the
people longer. The truth must be
told and to the doors of the Demo.
cratic party, after a century's devo-
ton to tho CAUSE Of silver money,
must be laid the crime of it's undoing.
For this, it must answer at the bal
lot-box.
The fight should not be given up.
Old marty ties should be thrown aside
and the struggle continued under
tho Peoples banner until silver is
clothed with all the attributes of
money. The battle will be fierce and
long, but II we are true to Our CAUSE
.a,glorious victory will reward our ef-
forts.
