In recognition Of the long and distfn-

The advantages to the public service OF an
adherence to the principles OF civil service
reform are constantly more apparent, and
nothing Is 30 encouraging to those In off,
cial life who honestly desire good govern
ment as the increasing appr ecIation by our
ty of the voters Of the land are ready
to insist that the time and attention OF those
they select to perform for them important
public duties. should not be distracted by
doing out minor offices, and they are grow
ing to be unanimous In regarding party or
gpnization as something that should be
used in esta blishing party principles instead
of debating the distribution OF public places
az rewards OF partisan activity. .'.,
Numerous additional offices and places
have lately been brought within CivllService
rules and regulations, and some others WILL
probably soon be included.
The report Of the Commissioners will be
submitted to the Congress, and I invite
careful attention to the recommendations it
contains.
A NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
I am entirely convinced that we ought moi
to be longer without National Board o
Health, or National Health Officer, charged
with no other duties than such rs pertain
to the protection OF our country from the In
vasion of pestilence and disease. This would
involve the establishment, BY such board OF
officer, of proper quarantine precautions, OF
the necessary aid and counsel to local au'
thorities on the subject, prompt advice and
assistance to local boards OF health
or health officers in The suppression O
contagious disease, and in cases
where there are no such local boards or Off
GERS, the immediate direction by the Ma
tional Board or officer of measures OF sup
preston, constant and authentic informa-
tion concerning the health of foreign coun-
tries and all parts OF our own country as
related to contagious diseases, and consld-

THE INDIANS.
Though the condition Of the Indians shows
steady and healthy progress, their situa-
ton Is not satisfactory at all points. Some
OF them to whom allotments OF land have
been made are found to be unable or diEn-
cined to follow agricultural pursuits or to
otherwise benefcially manage their land.
The intellisent Indian school management
of the past year has been followed by graft
| flying results. Efforts have been made to
advance the work in sound and practical
manner. Five Institutes of Indian teachers
have been held during the year, and have
proved very beneficial through the views ex-
changed and methods discussed particu-
larly applicable to Indian education.
| Efforts are being made IN the direction OF
gradual reduction Of the number OF In
dian contract schools, so that in compar-
atively short time they may give way alto
gether to Government schools. and 1t Is
hoped that the change may be 80 gradual as
to be perfected without too great expense to
| the Government or undue disregard OF In
vestments made by those who havs estab-
lished and are maintaining such contract
schools.
The appropriation for the current year,
ending June 80, 1895, applicable to the Or
amounts to Sc, 733, ,00S 18, being less by $685.
240.64 than the sum appropriated on the
same account for the previous year.
| PENSION MATTERS.
At the close OF the last fiscal year, on the
S0th day Of June, 1894, there were 969, ,544
persons on our pension rolls, being net in
crease Of 1852 over the number reported at
the end of the previous year.
These pensioners may be classified as fol-

Foxy cexey.

Alas this mercenary age! How sad it il
to read that even 'Reformer" Coxey is not
proof against the allurements of wealth get
ting. 1t is now said that his march upon
Washington has Melted him some $1,000.
Almost from the beginning Of his journey
he was the recipient of checks, postal notes
and currency from sympathizing cranks
In all parts Of the country. These
donations were duly published to the
world for a while in order to swell the
streams of benevolence. Since then the
facts regarding them appear to have re-
manned very securely in the possession of
General" Coxey. Arriving at Washington
he promptly turned Snowman, put his freaks
upon exhibition and, for time, did thirty
ing business. What became of all this
money? Even Pythias Brown gives US no
hint, and it is doubtful if he knows. Da-
mon Coxey may weep on the neck of his
brother, but he is careful to keep his strong
right hand on the purse strings. Under
these circumstances the general" will prob
ably endure his Jail sentence with equanim-
ity and, at its close return to his Ohio home,
10 palace car, in the proud consciousness
Of having achieved national notoriety and
at the same time accumulated snug little
fortune.

Good News for the "Home for Girls"

Many will remember that something over
a year ago several charitable ladies of Bel
fast and other towns in this State, realizing
the need of public home where girls may
be cared for and educated without being
committed as criminals, applied themselves
earnestly to the work of establishing such
an institution. The result of their efforts
was the legal formation of the Children's
Aid Society of Maine, with power to es-
tablish and maintain a home or homes for
needy or destitute children. The first an
nual meeting of the society was held in
Belfast, Fast day of this year, at which time
forty-one new members were added and
several liberal contributions were pledged,
great interest was manifested by all present
and from reports received from several
other towns it was evident that lively in
terest prevailed generally. Without doubt,
the president, Mrs. E. A. d. Burlington,
who is well versed in modern systems of
pbilanthropies, voiced the sentiment of
hundreds of ladies in our State, when she
insisted upon the actual necessity of a
home for girls who though now innocent,
are, from the nature of their environ
ments, ever in the way of falling into
habits of vice. At that meeting the treas
urer reported less than two hundred
dollars in The treasury. One month has
elapsed and the sums pledged in that time
are far greater than the most sanguine had
dared to expect. Belfast people, alone,
have subscribed some seven hundred dol
lars and have not yet tied their purse
strings. Hon. S. L. Milliken during his
recent visit to his home in Belfast, made
most liberal contribution, his unstinted
generosity is fully appreciated by his
friends and will not soon be forgotten. Hon.
Orville d. Baker writes approvingly of
the undertaking and will cheerfully
aid in the enterprise. Frank A.
Munsey of New York, publisher of Mum
sey's Magazine, has also remembered with
generous offering, the "home" about to
be opened in his native State of Maine.
Words of cheer and pledges of aid con-
tlnue to gladden. the hearts of all and the
prospect is. now, that not later than July,
the 'home" will be not only established
but will be opened and ready to receive
such as are in need of its benefits. Truly
"nothing succeeds like success. Il.

A report has been going the rounds of
the press to the effect that two gentlemen
in Bath have donated twenty Thousand dol
lars to the Good Will farm. We heartily wish
that this report were correct but we are in
receipt of letter from Rev. Mr.. Hinckley
stating that so far as he has been info1 med
the report is without foundation. He has
received no notification of any such gift,
and the whole story appears to have been a
newspaper fiction. The home must con-
tinue as in the past, to depend for support
upon the small contributions of the Chris
tan and philanthropic people of the State,
who have helped it from the start. The
home is doing a noble work and is in every
way deserving of the cordial aid of the good
people of our State.

age, are A. s. and G. N. Wilcox, and

ability. Judge F. s. Lyman and D. H.
Hitchcock of Hilo. head the delegation from
the large island of Hawaii, born in the
country of American pArentage, they are
gentlemen of known character and integ-
rity. Judge A. G. NJ. Robertson, another
delegate from Honolulu, is of Scotch pa
rentage, born 10 Hawaii, and is in full sym
patty with the new order of things. The
two Portuguese members have resided many
years in Hawaii, and are good representa-
tives of their industrious eompatriots. Such
men as these just elected to responsible po-
sitions, with much unanimity, by the best
of the Hawaiian voters, are those whom
Walter Q. Gresham, not long since, called
ALIENS" whose words and wishes were not
to be regarded.
The finances of the islands are shown to
be in excellent condition by the official re-
port recently made. The present assets Of
the country in control of the government
amount to 1854 sol, while the bonded
debt and other liabilities amount to S3,4l7,-
AGO, leaving balance in favor of the gov
eminent, of 81 ,l57, l4l. A sufficient answer
to recent "cuckoo" spee' h in the Wash
ington House Of Representatives, that an
nexation W. uld cost the United States gov
eminent the national debt of Hawaii.
Still better, the Hawaiian state property
promises to increase largely in value, while
the bonded debt will be taken up as fast as
it becomes due by bonds at lower rate of
interest. Samuel M. Damon, at the head
of the financial department, is a banker of
high character and of thorough system.

The Proposed New Government Of Hawaii.

The latest mail arrival from Honolulu
clearly indicates the political situation in
the beautiful country of islands. The cleo
ton of delegates to the constitutional con-
vention passed off quietly, without the least
indications of disorder or drunkenness. OF
the eighteen delegates chosen. elk are native
Hawaiians. Three of these are the most in
telligent and notable men of their race, and
have had extensive legislative experience.
J. Kauhaue, the eldest of these, has been an
elective noble in the Leg islature eighteen or
twenty consecutive years. He has
generally co-operated with the best white
men in trying to maintain good government,
and is clear headed and firm man. An
other native delegate is j. X. llosepa. of
excellent private reputation, one of the edi-
tors of a native paper, of much the largest
circulation in the islands, which warmly
supports the Provisional Government. He
was one of the four native members of the
last Legislature under the monarchy, who
spurned the brides and threats of the late
Queen and the adventurers of the lottery
gang in their attempt to overturn the con-
stitu.ion and restore despotic power.
Another of the native Hawaiian delegates
is j. w. kalua, the ablest native lawyer in
the islands, intelligent, of fine presence, an
eloquent speaker, ia hexibility of voice and
manner much resembling cultivated
Frenchman. He has been supporter of
the Provisional Government from its begin
ming. Nearly all the white delegates were
born on the islands, majority of them of
American parentage. One of the most nota-
BILE of these is II. p. Baldwin. His father
was an American physician from Connect
cut, sixty years ago, gentleman much re-
spected in Hawaii for many years until his
death. The son, H. P. Baldwin, was edu-
