AMERICAN CoLoNY's REVOLUTIONS.
PARIS. June 26. The text of the
address of coincidence and sympathy
with Nine. Carnot and the govern
ment. which was drawn up by the
American colony III This city, is as fol-
lows: "The president of France hav-
ing been assassinated by heinious
criminal, and Americans having
already sustained in their country
two great similar calamities, we feel
occasion more than any other nation
to mingle our tears with those OF the
afflicted people of France. We there
fore have resolved that we formally
declare that we stigmatize as
abominable the deed which
has deprived the French nation
OF it president, and with lively sense
OF grief we tender the expression OF
our warmest sympathies to those now
experiencing the same feeling of sad
ness which we ourselves have felt in
the past. There is no difference of
opinion among Orselves regarding the
high qualities of the man, so worthy
of affection, whom this great nation
chose as its first magistrate.
at is to Americans great consola-
ton to think that the first citizens of
our sister republic enjoyed the respect
of the entire world. He had gener'
GUS heart,
His domestic virtues were un-
bounded aud his charity was as wide
and liberal as his character was ire
proachable. The unanimity of ma
tiOnal feeling which is shown every
instant cannot but soften the anguish
OF the noble woman who 40 worthily
shared his life, and we also lay ct her
feet the expression of our respectful
and devoted affection and pray
that Nine. CarnOt and her be-
reaved family will accept the
assurance of our sincerest coincidence
and sympathy, as well as the homage
of our profound esteem"
The meeting opened subscriptions
for the purchase of a wreath, which
is to be laid in the name of the Amer
lean colony upon the casket contain
ing the remains of the late president.
A committee was also appointed to
arrange through the United States
ambassador for the participants OF
the American colony in the funeral
ceremonies.

..City or Town"

The argument of Judge L. \. Emery,
in last weeks AMERICAN. in favor OF
Eusworth's returning to town form
of government has brought out another
article against such a move, written
by Charles II. Drummey; it may be
found in another column on this page.
The question, of course, is as TO the
relative merits of the two forms OF
government for this particular place
Ellsworth. Both forms have been
tried. Since 1859 Ellsworth has been
a city. Some of its ablest men have
served in the various municipal Offices
During It's quarter OF a century OF cor
porate life as a city, no scandal has
affected its fair name or its credit.
OF late years, however, there has
been a singular lack of public interest
in public affairs; matters have been
permitted to drift, and in the mean
time while valuations have been in
creased. taxes also have been increased
until the burden has become SO heavy
that the tax payers are at last ask
ing: Are we getting full value for
our money?s
Assuming that they are not, will a
change in the form OF government
change The situation? For our part,
we de not think il would, and apart
from the mere matter Of sentiment,
to which Nj. Drummey refers, We are
not clear that Judge Emery's reasons
for a change. sound as they are per Sc,
will help the situation here in Els
worth.
But the merits of the case aside. the
precipitation of the matter has excited
more general interest in public affairs
than has been manifested for long
time, and If more genuine interest is
developed b. reason OF the discussion;
if strong men shall be induced to take
a more active part in municipal mat
tiers; if the influence of partisan pol
itics can be eliminated, or even re-
duced, and II every measure be scru-
tinted, solely with a view to the well
fare OF the city. the agitation will not
have been without usefulness.
1t Is barely possible that Judge
Emery intended his bombshell 10 have
the effect. not of changing the form
of government SO much as of quick
ening the sense OF appreciation of the
one We already have.

The speaker was introduced by DR.. 6.
A. Phillips. He held the closest attention
of his audience for nearly an hour and a
half. His descriptions of his first meet
ings with Everett, Webster, Choate and
Phillips, orators; with Lowell, Holmes,
Hawt horne, Longfellow, Whittier and
Margaret Fuller; with Froude, Tennyson
and Carlisle were most charming.
Besides his personal recolleetions, Col.
Higginson described graphically the styles
of oratory common before the war and
since, and accounted for the change.
The only thing to be regretted about
the occasion was the smallness OF the
audience.

ELLSWORTH. Nov. 80. 1891.

ELLSWORTH, NOV. %, 1874.
To the Editor Of The american:
In your issue of October Is was a report
of the semi-annusl conference of the pas
tors OF Hancock association Of Baptist
churches. Although somewhat late in
making ne correct ion, desire to call at
tention to very misleading statement in
the account of the adjourned meeting
Your reporter interviewed me while l
was busily engaged in moving, and
probably am altogether responsible for
the putting OF things. Part OF the report
reads as follows:
at WAS decided that as the association
was so large, covering the entire county,
it would be advantageous to divide the
association into two districts, and this
will be done.
This would seem to indicate very clearly
that two associations were soon to be
made out of the one. Such is not the
case, since the pastors conference had
not any authority whatever to decide
such question.
But that more occasional meetings, to
help single churches, might be held, it
was decided to plan for two sets OF meet
ings, dividing the association, simply
with view to convenience in carrying
on these meetings, into two general sec
tions. Yours very truly,
EDWARD a. MASON.
