THE PHILADELPHIA Ledger says MIR
Cleveland is unfavorable to free trade,
or to any thing like free trade" The
Ledqer is most reliable newspaper,
but, for the sake of the President, leav-
ing that of all other people out of view,
it is hoped that in the particular in
stance referred to, it may be incorrect,
for Mr.. Cleveland was elected by rea-
son of the belief that he was favorable
to free trade in at least the necessarles
oflife ; and the SCATTERING of that belief
will do him no good, but much harm,
not only in the hearts, butin the pockets
of the men by whose votes he was
elected

THE RICHMOND Dispatch says "a
tariff for protection mag be wrong: but
it is not unconstitutional" And yet the
Constitution provides that Congress
shall impose duties, TO pay the debts of
the government and to provide for the
defense thereof; and even the late Sam
uel ]. Randall in a public speech, de-
clared that a tariff solely for protection
could not be supported on constitutional
grounds.

THE New YORK Press says: 1.-The
fact that the bourbons have been able
to discover only . few pension frauds,
speaks volumes for the honor of the
Union veterans and for the honor and
vigilance ofrepublican administration"
In view of the facts that hundreds OF
such frauds have been discovered In
one small city alone, that hundreds OF
pensions have already been stopped on
the ground of such frauds, and that the
examiners have hardly commenced
their work, the quoted remark referred
to exhibits no decrease in the quality
of cheek of the source, from which it
emanated.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNIoN.-Rev.
Frank Stringfellow delivered the adj
dress at the Confederate reunion at
Rocky Mount on the Fourth of July.
The orator of the day was introduced
by Col. George E. Dennis. The Frank
lin Times says:
Chow the old veterans faces beamed
with 10Y and expectancy as he, one of
their comrades, comrade oft the South,
rose to welcome and address them |!
His grand face beamed with the emo
ton that filled his heart and made elo-
uuent his differences and, as the clarion-
notes of his voice floated over that vast
throng of 5000 souls, and in simple and
graphic style he gave the history Of
our nations day of independence and
dgelt lovingly over the events of the
wr, portraying so yividly that it be-
lme d-painting, the courage, the
endurance, the forbearance, the hero
ism and the patriotism of the Southern
soldier there was not one in that vast
throng too poor to do him reverence.
'Stringfellow, the Scout whose deeds
of daring and whose heroic resolve had
inspired many hearts to great endeavor,
in the days gone by, stood before them
and the veterans hearts burned with
sympathy. The old rebel yell went
up to the very skies, cementing ties
and friendships already formed in the
DAYS of the Sixties Mr.. Stringfel-
lows Grafton was filled with facts of
historical interest to the South as well
as to the country at large, and we re-

THE RECORDS of the Postoflice De-
partment show that in respect of both
Presidential and fourth class poslmas-
tiers, the removals under the late, for
the same period, were greatly in excess
OF those under the present administra-
ton. And yet the democratic rallying
cry during the last campaign was,
"Turn the rascals out" The retention
of republicans in Office is calculated to
suggest the idea that the cry referred to
was false che, and that there were no
republican rascals in office.

The PRESIDENT has disapproved the
report of the examining board recon-
mending Commander Johnson, U. 5.
Navy, for promotion, upon the ground
that three or four years ago the Com
mander was recorded as having been
sick from alcoholism. The quality OF
mercy should always, when possible,
be conioincd with that of justice, and
the history of this country shows that
few of the brainiest men thereof have
entirely escaped the sickness from
which commander Johnson is said to
have suffered at the time referred to.

The Argument for Divorces.

Judge Thomas HI. Haskell, who has
been holding the October term of court
at Bangor, found himself confronted by
sixty divorce suits when divorce day.
came at the end of the term. These
hearings furnished business for nearly
three days, and they were not all heard
at that. This formidable array of par
ties getting unmarried excited comment,
both from bench and bar, and there was
considerable discussion of the question
whether easy divorces are good for the
public morals. A distinguished Maine
jurist, who happened to be present, said
he was strong against divorces on the
general question, but when it came to in
dividual cases, with their troubles and
disagreements, where life together is a
hell on earth for one or both the parties,
he was weak-he found it hard to refuse
them. This is probably the general atti-
tude of all the judges. They know they
ought not to make the court a divorce
mart, but as each case presents good
reasons for breaking the marriage bond,
they yield and break it.

Along the wharves.

"You will find more mud than news
along the wharves today" said Com
mercial street business man yesterday,
and he was largely right, but still there
was something stirring. The old boat house
SO long occupied by M. F. Davis before ne
removed his business to Detroit, Is pelhg
fitted up by Mr.. Jacobs, who will manu-
facture boats and especially steam
launches.
The schooner Lizzie Maud brought IN
100 barrels of mackerel yesterday ana
Captain Squirting was found in the ONCE
of o. L.. Fernald & Co. He said he got
his catch off Cape Cod, and took the last
about week ago. The fishermen VINO
went to Block Island are returning
empty. Capt. Squirting spoke the schooner
Mabel Bennett, and Capt Smith reported
no fish at Block Island. and none for
week before he left He also spoke the
schooner George f. Edmunds. Capt.
McKeon said he was at Block Island for
a week and only got a barrel or so Of
thinkers" In fact, thinkers" are all that
can be got there. Where are you going
next?" was asked of Capt. Squirting, and
he replied, "I'm going home, and shall
haul up the schooner" As the mackerel
feet arrive one by one they are taken off
for the winter. 1t looks now very much
as though the captains who went to
Block Island on their last trip after
mackerel made sad blunder.
The fresh fish dealers received good
opening supply of cod and haddock yes
terday. j. Trefethen reports the arrival
of the following fishermen. They got in
ahead of any storm that may be coming
outside. The MaudMuller, reported Sunday
afternoon with 5000 pounds, discharged
yesterday. The Uncle Joe had $4,000 lbs,
the best catch reported for several days.
The Cosmopolitan brought in $4,000 and
the Eva and Mildred, 35,0 The Glad
Tidings had 10, 1000, and the Emma 5000
pounds. As rule the Portland fleet has
done very fairly well of late, only during
the latter part of last week the receipts
were rather light. The price held up
fairly well, however.

grocers in Freeport and supplied the
boarding house kept by the defendant OF
her husband or both. They now sue her
for $145. 56, the balance of the account,
claiming that she was the proprietor OF
the boarding house. The defendant
claims that her husband was the keeper
of the boarding house and that it was to
him the plaintiffs gave credit The plain
tiffs admit that they at first charged the
goods or the greater part of them to Mr..
Brett, but that in July, 1898, they
learned that Mrs. Brett was the keeper Of
the house, and they Immediately placed
her name at the head of the account. The
defendant contends that the change was
made because it was learned that she
was the owner of some real estate De-
cision reserved.
