CAPT. DEERINo's COUP.
When He Cut the Shipping Resolution Out
from Under the Guns of the Enemy, He
Unquestionably Did Bright Thing.

Captain John ". behring's coup in COM
mittine the Portland Board of Trade to the
free ship, BILL which the Cleveland adminis-
tration is pressing to an issue, was natural
ly a topic of much CONVEX sation about Port
land Tuesday.
Of course it goes without saying that
many members of the Board. which lis on
full vote, probably verysstronglE opposed
to the action taken, are much :disgusted
that their absence from the meeting bought
abeut a result SO contrary to their views
and so inoonsiderate towards Portland's S
sister city, Bath.
There is another point also. Captain
Deering is prominent candidate for the
Portland collectorship. What could more
endear such candidate to Mr.. Cleveland
than to be the means of committing to the
pet Cleveland measure the Board of Trade
of the chief shipping city of Maine. When
Mr.. Reed, or Mr.. Frye or Mr.. Dingley stand
up for American ship yards, they may be
confronted with the action of the Portland
Board of Trade. And who didsft, but Cap
tain Deering? While the heads of the Plum
Trust are enjoying otium cum dignitate;
while Mr. Frank and Mr.. Clifford and the
others are indulging in the pleasures of
hope Captain Deering burns the midnight
oil writing two column speech, and em-
ploys the fresh hourssof morning in quietly
lettingshls friends know that there is to be
a meeting of the Board of Trade. The fact
that Mr.. DeeriEg succeeded by only one
vote in q small meeting will not be remem-
bered in connection with the important re-
suit.
1t has been known for long time that
Mr.. Cleveland likes Captain Deering- Eight
years ago, when Mr.. Deering went to Wash
ington to plead the cause of friend who
wanted an office. he did it in such blunt
and sailor-like fashion that Cleveland was
much pleased. This year Mr.. Deering
hesitated a little about announcing his can
didacy: but once having done SO, he is I'M
derstood to have gone directly to the point.
when he informed Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Cleveland where.to find good man for col
lector of Portland.
He has been embarras ssed by the fact that
others had all the support buttoned up be-
fore he came no the field. so there are on
file in Washington few. if any. papers sus-
tanning his candidacy.
But Mondays exploit may make up for
that. 1t wassoertalnly brilliant affair,
like the cutting out of vesse i under the
enemy's guns.

OBITUARY..
Carl Clifford Wight.

1t is seldom that the death of child
calls out the expressions of regret for
his loss, and OF sympathy for his family,
as did that of little Carl Clifford Wight,
only child of Charles Fl. and Florence
Dwight. and grandchild of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. N. Wight. He was remarkably
bright boy. of loveable disposition, the
pet of his home circle, and regarded
with special interest by others. He died
of diphtheria, and while friends could
not call, many messages of sympathy
were received. Mrs. Jennie E. Prince,
one of his teachers at the Sabbath school
wrote: "He was one of the brightest and
best of my room." Miss Eva A. .Sterli ng
wrote of his bright, happy disposition" I"
and Warren W. Cole, the superintendent
of his Sabbath school Chestnut street
church) wrote: "Please accept in this
hour of your sorrow the heartfelt SYM
pathy of us, who knew little Carl and
10 we'd him."
