Chief Harrington Of the weather bureau

learning just how big sham Grover
Cleveland's civil service reform pretences
are at heart Mr.. Harrington says he
has had trouble since the change In the
administration to keep politics out Of
the department as he believes should be
done In the case of all scientific depart
ments, at least where men of reputation,
skill and long experience are needed. Mr..
Harrington's view of 1t is correct. 1t may
or may not be for this reason that he has
been removed

The cause Of phonetic spelling Is not
yet dead, although the clamor is not sc
great as to call for "fonetic" rather than
phonetic. Indeed, while theorists have
been talking about improved spelling, the
people have been slowly but surely doing
the improving instead of the talking. In
this way the best reform must come but
there may be practical method for help
ing it along. Such seems to be the propo-
sition Of Funk Il Wagnalls This pub
fishing firm offers to adopt certain mod
crate reforms In spelling. provided rea-
sonable number of publishers will unite
with them in the effort. For example,
final Cd and ted are changed to ct, ~
when SO pronounced; "kisst" instead of
kissed" The word rhyme $50 spelt out
of false analogy with 'rhythm") Is writ
ten "rime," as it should be; theatre, "
"goitre" and that class of words are writ
ten "thoater, - "goiter" and SO on. The
unnecessary tue In analogue, etc, is
omitted; analogy, 'monolog" and the
like; unnecessary "ou" and Eau" are
dropped; "garantee, -" Savior The dip
thongal ae in "aegis'' and it's class is
omitted; "egis, - "esthetic," etc, And
thus with many other sensible and
not violations notifications of English
which Is at present the worse spelt of
civilized tongues.

Cured at East Boston on the Fourth and
an assault was made by drunken wom-
an upon a carriage in which one Of the
women wore an orange colored dress.
When paradcr hustled her back trouble
began. In the riot that followed heads
were broken, people were trampled and
struck down. Later some of the paraders
were hooted and stoned by mob and one
of the paraders shot into the mob and
killed an onlooker. So the dispatches
read. And this on independence Day. in
the land of the free and within the envi-
ronments of liberal. cultured Boston. 1t
is almost incredible, wholly disgraceful

"These surroundings, the evidences of

years been familiar, impress me to say
this to you, to achieve success Is the duty
of very man and woman in America.
And the accomplishment Of it, as rule,
Is possible to every man and woman who
will pay the price, in patience, in per-

hard work and faith in the future.
This was the way Senator Frye began
his after dinner remarks at Poland Spring
on the occasion of the dedication of the
Maine building and the celebration of the
Tooth anniversary Of the time the famous
spring passed into the keeping of tho
Kicker family. And indeed the promi
nent feature which could not be kept in
tho background on that particular occa
sion was the wonderful success of the
Kicker family, but more particularly how
richly it is deserved because so hardly and
withal so wisely won. Not every family
has an abundance of the purest water
gushing from the rocks on its domain.
Not every family that did could sell mil
lions Of gallons of 1t annually. No family
could do what the Rickers have done
without sagacity as well as energy and
well directed perslstenoy. The record of
what they have achieved and what they
purpose to achieve is as full Of interest as
romance. We found 1t so as told In the
beautiful souvenir volume issued In COM
memoration of the Poland Spring centen.
NAL. 1t is the record of family that would
achieve success anywhere, though perhaps
not SO extensively as is possible to the pro
prietors of the only Poland Spring water
In existence. And when It is remembered
that in the year 1898. the Riokers ex.
pended in this State alone over $40, 600

MAINE GOSSIP.

A Rockland firm keeps several pennies
on window sill where former proprie-
tor laid them years ago. These pennies
are spokenl of as lucky" The gene, al
impression is, however, that the shrewd-
ness and square dealing Of the firm are to
be credited with the firms success rather
than the lucky pennies.
Travelling along the country roads one
gets many impressions. Too often the i'm
preston is that little energy in raking
out the stones would serve to maintain the
neighborhood's self respect and the respect
of the people who travel the roads. Anoth-
er impression is had when occasionally one
comes to place where the stones have been
raked from the middle to the side of the
road. 1t Is evident that the intention is
to haul these stones away at some other
time. Later in the season one gets the
impression that these stones are forgotten
and will be plowed back into the middle
of the road another year.

by a small negro boy, who comes
around. accompanied by his father,
and tries to get jobs for the latter.
He always has good reasons why his
maternal relative should be selected
instead of the numerous other eoiored
men who are seeking for similar jobs.
The old negro is deaf and dumb. but
this does not prevent his being fine
hand at doing small jobs. In fact, in
some lines of work. according to MS
son this is an advantage.

fred Austin. The appeal says:
AT this crisis in the history of the
Anglo-Saxon race there are two paths
One leads we know not whittier, but
IN the end, through war with all its
accomplishments of carnage, unspeak-
able suffering and hideous desolation,
TO the inevitable sequel of hatred, bit
terness and disruption of our race. II
Is this path we ask you to join US in
an effort to make it impossible. Not on
the grounds of political equity do we
address you, but we are united to you
Dy many ties. We are proud of the
united States. There is nothing in our
history that has earned us more glory

When our pride is humbled by a re-
port OF something that you do better
IMAM ourselves, it is also uplifted by
me consciousness that the United
States and we are kith and kim
After dwelling upon the intimate ties
of relationship and brotherly senti-
ment. the appeal continues:
There is no anti-American feeling
among English. 1t is impossible that
there can be anti-English feeling
among Americans. For two such ma
lions to take up arms would be civil
war, not differing from your struggle
OF thirty years ago, except that the
cause would be immeasurably less
humane, less tragic and less newt
able"
after referring to ties that literature
makes, the appeal continues:
II war should occur between Eng
land and America, English literature
would be dishonored and disfigured for
a century to come. Patriotic songs,
histories of victory and defeat, records
of humiliation and disgrace, stories of
burning wrongs and unavenged insult
these would be branded in the hearts
of our people. They would so express
themselves in poems, novels and plays
as TO make it impossible for any of
us who live through the fratricidal war
to take up again the former love and
friendship for the united Anglo Saxon
race that owns the great names of
Cromwell, Washington, Nelson, Gordon,
Grant. Shakespeare and Milton. There
IS such future as no other race has
mad in the history of the world; q
future that viii be built on the con-
federation of sovereign states, living in

The document concludes as follows:
I'VE appeal to all writers in the
United States to exercise their far
reaching influence to save our itera-
ture from dishonor and our race from
lasting injury"

Paris correspondent of the Neue

cwn term as president the govern
ment wished to propose that the pres
idents of the United States. France
and Switzerland should act as arbi-
traitors. but this plan was abandoned
because it would have required long
and assiduous discussion and maui
ries. while the presidents frequently
changed.
Venezuela then desired to submit the
matter to the emperor of Austria. in
whose Justice she had the fullest con-
fdence. but this desire was abandon-
ed because Of Great Britain's attitude.
General Palacio concluded by declar
ing that neither Venezuela nor the

conviction is gaining ground here that
President Cleveland has committed a
huge blunder. The comments of the
press are becoming more severe. espe-
cially after the "krach" on the Vienna
bourse. which resulted directly from
the presidents message. Not a single
journal in Austria takes the side of
Mr. Cleveland.
while we consider the sympathy
normally felt in Europe with the Uni
ted States, vet it is considered that a
grave error has been committed at
Washington. I fear it will be a long
time before the moral it has produced
will disappear" Such is the opinion of
well known Austrian diplomat in
terviewed on the subject.
1t is said this opinion is shared by
Counts kolnoky and Golushowsky.
whose sympathy with England is well
known. The comic papers. too. do not
snare President Cleveland, and are

message is held up to ridicule.

Another Expedition.

NEW YORK, Dec PA local paper
says: Members of the Porto Rican rev.
dictionary party, who have organized
a junta to work in conjunction with
the Cuban junta, are purchasing arms
and fitting out am expedition. The or
ganization of the party and the junta.
has met with the approval of Porto
Ricans in this city and elsewhere, who
realize that decisive blow can be
struck for liberty now that SPANS en-
ergy is devoted 10 quelling the inSur-
rection in Cuba
It was positively learned last night
that Senior Estrada Palma, on behalf
of the Cuban junta, has entered into a
compact with DR.. j. Julio Henna,
president of the Porto Rican revolu-
tionary party, whereby both parties
will cooperate in aiding the causes of
Cuba and Porto Rica. President Henna
acknowledged that he had been in com
sultation with President Palma and
that steps will at once be taken to as
SYST the people of Porto Rico, VINO are
anxiousy awaiting the signal to arise.
A meeting of the members of both
the Cuban and Porto Rican junta Will
be held at the Cuban headquarters
when a plan favorable to the Porto
Ricans will be decided upon. The
Cuban junta realizes that 1t has Sc
cured powerful allies in the war
against Spain With the development
of an msurrection in Porto Rico, the
efforts of the Spanish to put down the
war in Cuba will necessarily be weak
ened and troops will be sent from the
island of Cuba to Porto Rico.
Ready to Revolt.
For months past the revolutionary
Porto Ricans in This city have been cor
responding with the leading revolution
ary spirits in the island, and President
Henna said yesterday that thirty towns
had been heard from whose tnhabi-
tants are ready to revolt when the
proper time comes.
He said: 1--WE addressed commurdca-
tfons also to our general delegate, DR..
Ramon e. Betances. who is also agent
for the Cubans in Paris, and to other
prominent Cubans and Porto Ricdns
abroad, who are eager to see Porto
Rico free. From them we received
great encoura cement and proffers of
assistance They forwarded me the
necessary documents of endorsement.
At realize that a few men have no
right to force a revolution even In phe
cause of liberty, but our people are
waiting only for leaders, and revolu-
ton, is what the people want. Our
plans are maturing.
"Cuba's success means Porto Rico'S
triumph We will aid CUBA and she
will aid US. When we are prepared for
battle our people will rise, armed with
runs and ammunition sent from this
and other countries.
