thetic and encouraging words from Rev

Marshal Saunders ON Duty Again.

United States Marshal Saunders has
now qualified, and will be able to attend
to all business until the newly appointed
marshal, John B. Donovan, shall have
received his commission and filed his
bond. There was no little red tape
needed to enable Marshal Saunders to
act ad interim. He had first to renew
his bond, which is twenty-thousand
dollars, Messrs. Clarence Hale and Fred
E. Richards being sureties. This bond
was sent on to Justice Horace Gray of
the United States Supreme court. who,
upon recommendation of Judges Putnam
and Webb, approved it and appointed
Mr.. Saunders to act ad interim. Justice
Gray makes this appointment because
Maine is in the circuit which is assigned
to him.

DAYS OF SPRING.
Wheeled Vehicles Now Rule the Road in
Portland. Although Snow Lingers in
the Country-Yonng Men Prepare to
Go Fishing.

The past three days of spring have
been making great inroads into the stores
of the winter. Sunday was genuine
spring day, with a bright sun, balmy air,
and that slight. delightful haze, which
hovers over land and water only in pleas
ant times. The effect upon the sleigh
ing was very rapid, and Sunday afternoon
struggling wheeled vehicles began to be
seen on the streets. Monday was as
warm and pleasant as Sunday; and the
snow continued its rapid flight. ssWater
flowed in all the streets, and wagons and
carriages began to outnumber the sleighs
as the day wore on. Yesterday spring
seemed finally to have routed winter,
although in the back streets there was
much snow, especially in the heaps over
the curb. In the country, too, and at
the islands, the hills and valleys are still
white and the sleighing continues. But
in Portland everyone is using wheels.
About the wharves there was the Ian
guor of summer and the hustle of spring.
The old tars have not returned to their
sunny seat on the wharf at the barge Of
fee, but one or two were lowering
about in that locality yesterday.
The young men were overhauling row
boats, getting out yacht rigging and
tinkering up steam launches as if there
was no longer prospect of nor theasters
and an icy har5or.
Some of the young men were consult
ing the skies and the vendors of live bait
with the idea of going fishing, the spring
pickerel being the prize to be sought
out.
A robin has also been heard in Deer
ing.

The protective Principle"

To the Editor of the Press:
The general principles of tariff are so
we'll understood, notwithstanding the
involuntary efforts of congressman to
mislead, that it would seem unnecessary
to attempt to explain them, were it not
for the young and inexperienced,
as well as for the case-hardened veteran
politician.
It is a serious question, however,
whether it is worth while to try to en-
Tighten the latter class as there can be
but little hope for that order of partisan
who either views tariff as thing with
out meaning beyond being a party ques-
ton, a mere issue and idea to mark a
fighting line; while it appears still less
promising to try to convince those who
believe that all ideas OF every variety,
shade and pretension, emanating from
their party are right, because they are
right" The party brand is stamped in
red wax on every bottle, and it must be
the straight thing, you know.
But, after all, government protection
is quite an important factor in and out
of politics; therein lies not only the
safety, but the prosperity Of the citizen
and the nation. 1t is probable that the
prosperity of our country is due more
largely to the inventive genius of her
people than to any other cause; but
what would this be worth to the individ-
ual or country without government pro-
lection back of it? / imagine that the
chief incentives to the wonderful abb lily
of such men as Stephenson, Morse, Field,
Edison and Bell were profit, power and
thesmonopoly of the product Of their in
ventions through the protection afford
ed by government, to say nothing OF the
thousands of other inventions upon
which our progress and prosperity have
been materially dependant. Yet these
inventions would never have seen the
light had free competition and piracy"
been allowed. Take away the patent
right, apply to it; the principle Of free
trade, restrict and abridge it's privileges.
saw to the inventor: "The product of
your brain, your improved machine or
appliance shall become public, of COM
mon property the moment it is put upon
the marketn-and what becomes of in
ventions? They do not materialize, and
are lost, alike to the inventor and the
world.
Free trade is as big farce, or, let me
say as impracticable scheme, for the
benefit of people as an unprotected in
vention. 1t is simply inviting general
competition in overstocked and oversup-
piled markets. 1t is inviting foreign
manufactures to crowd out our own
merchants and producers and force our
workmen into the streets, in the hope
of competing with them in their estab-
lished export trade. when under free
trade or a "close" tariff we could not
compete with them in our own market

giving with one hand, while reaching
out for something in the air with the
other. J.S.W

Funeral of Franklin J. Rollins.

The funeral of Hon. Franklin j. Rol-
Inns took place yesterday afternoon at
his late residence on Congress street.
Rev. DR.. ]. L. Jenkins of the State street
church, oficiated, the services being
very simple and impressive. A quar-
tette composed of DR.. Nickerson, MI
Harry Merrill, Miss Florence Knight and
Mrs. Goudy sang several selections.
Representatives of the principal insur-
ance com panies were in attendance. The
floral tributes were numerous and very
beautiful. Weston F. Milliken, Thomas

Davis were the pail bearers. The body
will be inferred in the family lot in Som

this morning.

In view of the sale of tickets it seemed
wise to have DIR. Clark give his illus
urated lecture at City hall on his "Tour
of the World" and to do SO it was
necessary to make the date March 10Th,
Thursday.
Reports of the appl eciation with which
this beautiful lecture is received come
to hand from all places where it has
been given. AS is doubtless known to
the majority of people DR.. Clark devotes
the greater part of his receipts to
missionary objects which especially APP
pealed to him when on his world wide
tour. 1t is not, perhaps, SO generally
known that the Christian Endeavor
Local Union unanimously voted to de-
vote their entire net proceeds from the
lecture toward the cost of erecting the
Christian Endeavor Cottage at Good
Will Farm, all enterprise which appeals
warmly to all our citizens, and which
means home, education and character
for fifteen homeless boys of our own
state from the time of it's completion on
ward.
The mem bers of the various societies
are enthusiastically selling tickets,
which can be exchanged at Stockbridge's
for reserved seats, il desired. DR.. CLARK
as a lecturer has few equals, his subject
is of universal interest, the views are
superb, and the objects praiseworthy and
permanent. There is no reason why City
hall should not be crowded.

and Resolutions Passed.


At an adjourned meeting of thesSecond
Parish church, held last evening, it was
voted to accept the resignation of the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Merrill This action fol-
lowed the authorized statement from the
pastor, that under no conditions would

That in accepting the resignation of
Dr. Merrill we regret all that has renered
necessary this action, and we humbly
bow to the Spirits guidance through and
by which, as we believe, our pastor has
been led to the conviction and conclusion
embodied in the missive to us of the
church and parish.
That we express our appreciation OF
our PASTORS untiring endeavor and UNI
wavering loyalty in his ministry with us
of more than four years duration.
That in the discharge of all the
functions of his high calling in Christ
Jesus, DR.. Merrill has ever manifested
the highest type OF Christian manhood,
and as man and minister has inherited
and commanded our respect and love and
challenged our admiration.
That his influence among us and in
the community in which we dwell has
been, and will continue to be, potent for
Righteousness.
That we express to pastor and family

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A Night at the Circus.

The Dramatic News says" Nellie Nc
Henry's success in the New Park Theatre
is all the more gratifying for the reason
that it seems to have been rather gen
orally unexpected. Miss McHenry went
into New York for single week, ana
that about the worst in the season, Win
the exception of its single holiday, Iof
the reason that metropolitan managers
had no very great confidence IN the
enterprise of which she is the head. She
opened to fairly good house, and
played to steadily increasing business
up to Christmas, when the days re-
ceipts exceeded 81, 700. Then in driving
rain storm, her matinee receipts were
more than $500, and at night the house
was packed to the doors. From these
facts it becomes evident that Miss Nc
Henry might, under ordinary circum-
stances have remained in New York,
with highly profitable results, for at
least three months" Miss McHenry will
introduce the -four little maids" Kelley
cured man, "Wild man of Borneo" and
behind the scenes of the circus with
new songs and speeialties.

The Howe-Lavin concert will be given

MARY Howe is singing phenomenon.
She startled us with several. pieces OF
song technique that were to her SO easy
that no one could initiate her. She
is virtuosa par excellence. She attacks
the highest notes with wonderful ease
and trills on high G with the elegance
and grace of flute and her scales are
like pearls. Besides her arias she sang
two songs one from an old opera of
Barthee the other Gieg's "Solvejg Lied"
which seemed to US like flower. Miss
Howe sang all her music in mastery
artistic fashion and received an ovation"

CURRENT COMMENT.
MAYOR BAxrER's REELECTION.

Lewiston Journal
The splendid endorsement of Mayor
Baxter of Portland by the voters of that
city on Monday, is a source of gratitiea,-
ton to every friend of good municipal
government. Mayor Baxter is reelected
by majority four times as great as last
year-which shows that conscience and
brains have hold on popularity, not
withstanding that many deluded think
ers belive that brass and chicane are all
that's needed for success in politics.
Mayor Baxter has made an ideal ssexecu-
tive. He has set his face resolutely
against the spoils doctrine and has led
the movement to GUST it from the admin
istration of the city departments. That
with such record Mayor Baxter was SO
magniflcently endorsed at the polls, is
most significant rebuke to our misguid-
ed friends who tell us that civil service
reform is only a fad of idealists and
dreamers sandthat the only, way to get
there is by the road leading to the
