Bob Ingersoll is to entertain a Portland
audience with his money making views
of the Bible. The following communica-
ton to the Portland Advertiser explains
itself:
To the Editor of the Advertiser
I notice an advertisement in some of
our papers of lecture to be delivered in
our City hall by Robert Ingersoll. The
reputation of this man as an orator, will
be likely to attract an audience, and the
announced subject of his lecture, with
his well known mode of treating it, will
prove still greater attraction to certain
class of persons. But in the name and
for the honor of our Lord / would express
the hope that no man protesting himself
a Christian or any reverence or regard
for the author of Christianity. will be
seen in that hall that night. What man
of us would pay a fee to hear the honor
of his father impugned or the chastity of
his sister argumentatively assailed? For
my own part l would as soon do that or
be seen entering brothel, las to patronize
by my money or my presence the lecture
to which refer. the nature and contents
to which have been already exhibited in
the abstracts of reporters.

Evidently there is no doubt that Hon
Thos. b. Reed is protectionist. There's no
other construction to put upon these, his
words: "The overwhelming victory we
have had was victory for protection as
the firm faith Of the American people. "
But then no one ever seriously questioned
Mr.. Reeds protectiOnism.

Statistics concerning crime demonstrate
that the brains of the rascal keep pace
with those of the inventor of devices to
keep men honest. Indeed it is be-
licved by many that this battle of the
wits is one of the chief destinations for the
person with rascally proclivitics. Were
it not for the destinations and the fact
that nearly all knavcs enter while young,
upon the way over which it is so difficult
to rctrace their steps it would be difficult
to account for brains employed in ras-
cality. The same ingenuity, the same
skill, tenacity of purpose and nerve OK
hibitcd among the criminal classes or
that part Of them where other intelligence
than low cunning is necessary, would
if rightly applied ensure the possessor
comfortable living in most cases and a
good share in the pleasures of living.
These pleasures the criminal can never
know. Fcvcrish excitement, and sensu-
ality take their place. 1t is evident that
the warfare between law breakers and the
guardians of law and order will never be
diminished, the detectives, the criminal
courts, will never be less active and con-
gcstcd through application of mechanical
contrivances to prevent crime. But the
war is on and the inventor of safeguards
cannot relax his efforts. Nevertheless the
inventor of representatives. has wide scope,
a field altogether too little cultivated
Methods that shall prevent the breeding
and rearing of criminals are in demand

There is growing interest in the re-
port of Admiral Walker upon Hawaiian
affairs which he was sent to investigate.
The report has been withheld and judging
from the fact that his appointment as
of the naval academy was
revoked by Cleveland leads people gencr-
ally to infer that the sturdy old admiral
in his report lets in powerful sidelights
upon the "policy of infamy."

One should have the courage of his con-
yictions but it's well to be careful about
being too everlastingly sure on slight
provocation. A travelling man who stopped
at Rockland hotel, missed his pocket
book in the morning. He was positive
that he left it in his room. Not finding
it there he began to make everyone about
the house very uncomfortable with his oft
declared assertion that he knew he left
that pOcketbook in the room. When some
one found it out on the sidewalk he didn't
look so pleased as he ought. Others in
the immediate vicinity did, however.

On that day let our ordinary work and bus
mess he suspended, and let us meet in our &C
customed places of worship and give thanks to
Almighty God for our preserva alton as II nation,
for our immunity from disease and pestilence,
for the haryests that have rewarded our hus-
bandry, for ii renewal of national prosperity,
and for every advance in virtue and intelli-
gcncc that has marked our growth as people.
And with our thanksgiving let us pray that
these blessings may be multiplied unto us,
that our national conscience may be quicken
ed to u better recognition of the power and
goodness of God, and that in our national
life may clearer see and closer follow the
path of righteousness.
And in our places of worship and praise as
well as in the happy reunions of kindred and
friends on that day let us invoke Divine APP
prevail by generously remembering the poor
and needy. Surely He who has given us com
fort and plenty will look upon our relief of
the destitute and our ministrations of charity
as the work of the hearts truly grateful and as
proof of the sincerity of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of the United
States, which have caused to be affixed.
Done ut the City of Washington, on the first
day of November, in the year of our Lord
