1T WOULD BE MOST TYRANSICAL.

We cannot believe there is any truth
in the statement, now going the rouhos
Of the newspapers, that the President mas
forbiddei. Federal office-holders to take
any part In the pending election, IN the
way of making speeches, or aiding their
party In any proper and legitimate way
1t would be an intolerable piece OF tyrah-
n.y. and a most arbitrary act lor the
President to do any such thing. a clu-
zen is no less a citizen because ne nous
a Federal office, and he mas the same
right to express his opinions on pubic'
questions, and state his reasons Tor mold
ing those opinions, as any other citizen
has. He mas equally the same right TO
aid his party In every legitimate way
that any other citizen has. We do not
believe, therefore, for one moment mat
Mr.. Cleveland has taken any such posi-
ton. 1t would be both foolish and ar
bitrary.
And while on this theme, we want to
add that we hope Mr.. Cleveland viii
himself declare openly that he wants 10
see Mr.. Hin elected Governor Of New
York. This is not Mr.. HIS fight, but
the fight Of the New York Democracy.
II is a. body of genuine Democrats, thor
oughly devoted to Democratic ideas and
principles, and 1t would be great thing
for Democracy if it won this fight, while
it would be a sad blow to Democracy If
it lost this fight. The New York Democra-
cy has forced this nomination on Senator
Hill and the fight is. therefore, not his.
but theirs 1t is Mr.. Cleveland's duty.
as II is that of every good Democrat to
sink all objections they may have 20 the
man Hill, in considerations pertinent to
the public good, and 1t is his duty to give
Hill every aid in his power We shall
be very greatly disappointed If Mr.. CleVe-
land does not soon come out in an en-
phauc endorsement of Mr.. Hills candi-
dacy.

Commenting upon letter In The Times
OF last Sunday. from Bedford City. CIV
ing an interesting account Of the improve
ment made in the roads of Bedford coun-
ty, the Baltimore Herald says:
at is impossible to say that the en-
ployment of cOnvicts upon the public
roads of Maryland would meet with
equally good results. but conditions in
Virginia and in our own State are GER
tainiy similar, and the experiment in
Bedford county is full of significance 10
the people of Maryland il is possible
that the working of the roads by con-
victs under sentence may be the true So
luton OF the road problem.

DEERlNG's OAKS.
The New Driveway Under Construction
There.

The Street Commission are at work
on the new driveway along the Port
land street side Of Deering' s.Oaks. The
drive begins at the State street entrance
to the Oaks, near Portland street and
runs along the south side of the Oaks,
on easy curves to the westerly drive,
near the entrance, from Portland and
Grove streets. This. drive crosses the
deep gully near the foot of Mellen
street, where fill of about five feet was
required. The drive is IS feet in width,
and all slopes are being turfed. This
work completes the main drive, which
completely encircles the Oaks, and will
be greatly appreciated by the citizens.
The work is being done by the street
department men, from plans furnished
by the city engineer, and under the di-
rection of Mr.. Bion Bradbury, Jr.. assis-
tant engineer. The drive will be opened
to. travel next week.
The Green street entrance to the Oaks
has been graded with material taken
from Congress street, aud on the north

partment has delivered more than 500
double loads of street sweepings much
OF which has in former. years gone to fill
up private lots.
The work of grading section Of the

Joseph Cobeul of Montreal Has Had
Charge of Private Cars in Canada for
Thirty Years-He is visiting in.Portland.

Mr. Joseph Cobeul of Montreal, is in
the city and was welcomed yesterday
by scores of friends. In fact he has
friends all along the line OF the Grand
Trunk between Portland and chicago
for during the past thirty years ne mas
almost all the time been in charge OF
a private car and knows the ropes IN
that business.
He is a very bright intelligent man and
is very good talker. During his many
years of active life he has met nearly
every prominent Canadian and great
many from the states. For two years
he had charge of the private car OF the
Marquis of Lorne and his wife the Prin-
cess Louise when the Marquis was gov
ernor-general of Canada and his admlra-
/ tion for the Princess is unbounded. He
says that she was an excellent French
scholar and always talked French when
speaking to him.
The Marquis, who wasn't as we'll up
in French commonly talked English. He
found the vice roysl pair very pleasant
people to be with and went with them
about Canada until private car was
especially fitted up for the use OF the
governor-geperal.
He met them once after that and then
the Princess at once on seeing him said
why here is Mr.. Cobeul" and took his
hand in a pleasant way.
He met very frequently Sir John A.
Macdonald, and liked him very much.
Sir John was frequently on his car,
and after dinner was in the habit of
calling him in to take cigar. The old
statesman liked to talk, and treated his
companion fully as an equal.
He met the Duke of Argyle when
he visited Canada. The Duke took his
car at the Falls and was with him after
that for some time. Mr.. Cobeul was as
signed to the duty Of looking after the
Duke by Sir Joseph Hickson, who was
then with Sir Henry Tyler, making a
tour of inspection of the Grand Trunk.
Mr.. Cobeul found that the Duke knew
but very little of special sleeping cars,
and instructed him in the use of the
electric call. The first meal was at Ham
private room.
At night the Duke showed his distrust
of the sleeping car arrangements by de-
clining to go to his stateroom. and by
taking possession of a sofa, on which
announced his intention of passing the
night.
In vain Mr.. Cobeul explained that the
stareroom would be much better and
just as safe; the Duke had his doubts
on that point and stuck TO his sofa, but
accepted blanket and pillows. Mr.. CO.
beul had charge of thesparty for several
days, but the Duke failed to get used to
the sleeping car, and declined to trust
himself in his stateroom.

A VERY HARD CASE.
A Serious Complaint Brought Against
David Schwartz.

An Assault that May Result Harmfully If
Not Fatally to Jennie Kaslousky-Dep-
uty Sheriff Bucknam Places an Attach
ment on Schwartz's Property.
Yesterday. Deputy ssSheIiff Bucknam
served an attachment or $1,000 upon the
clothing store and stock of David
Schwartz, Hebrew, who does business
at the lower end of Middle street. The
action for damages was brought against
him by one Barrent Kaslousky. The story
is as follows, as told by the complainant.
He alleges that last Saturday his wife
and Schwartz's wife got into analterca-
ton. A neighbor informs US that
Schwartz's wife slapped the face of the
other woman, who was sitting on the store
steps. Mrs. Schwartz was in delicate
condition. Schwartz came along and took
ly,lt is alleged, struck Mrs. !. s.Kaslousky
twice on the abdomen with his fist.
The result, as might be expected, was
very disastrous. She fell over in great
distress, and had to be carried to her
home. Or. King was summoned and
ordered that the woman must not leave
her bed till the child is born. She is
very i'll, and the effect of the, blows upon
the unborn child, it is alleged in the
complaint, may be disastrous, if not
fatal.
We understand that Schwartz obtained
bondsmen, and that Isaac Abrams
was one of them. The case will come
up in October.

Messrs. H. II. Hay & Son have unique
camera box, made for Mr.: Edward Wood
man, by the guide, Tomah Joe,of the
Passamaquoddy Indians from birch
bark. The sides and ends are elaborately
embellishd with hunting scenes, such
as Indians on snowshoes pursuing deer,
in canoes capturing seals, with rude but
vigorous drawings of wigwams and
squaws. A humorous flavor is given by
representations o f owls, land of a hare
erect and advancing with uplifted
hatchet upon couchant wild cat.

A Big Tow.

The big oceansstug Ice King came into
the harbor yesterday, from New York,
with five empty barges, bound for the
Kennebec to load ice. The Ice King is g
very large tug. She has single cylinder
stroke of 6 inches. This is nearly the
size of the high pressure cylinder of
the compound engine of the New York
boat. Five of those great barges in a
row makes quite a procession, and the
power necessary to tow them may be
imagined.
