A Melancholy Anniversary.

Monday was the ninth anniversary of
the memorable message which Mr. Cleve
land devoted exclusively to the subject Of
the tariff; the condition not theory
message of December Is, 1887.
The condition which confronted us at
that time was a revenue producing about
SIS, 900, 900 in excess of the government S
annual expenditures.
The condition which confronts Congress
to-day is revenue producing for the pres
ent fiscal year at least SIS 900, 600 or $50, J.
100000 less than the necessary expendi-
tu1es Of the government: an annual deficit
of S75, 900, 900 CT $50, 900, 600 to be made
up by borrowing money and paying inter
est thereon.
Such was the beginning and such is the
end OF che nine years period of expert
mental craftsmanship in the reform of the
national financ by the Hon. Grover Gle
veland and his followers.
Well, it is over, and the book is about
to open at a new chapter; and exactly how
much has been lost by the country since
the Cleveland experiment began, can be
estimated at leisure by the mathematicians
of distress and disaster, the historians OF
political wreck and ruin and the philo-
sophical students of cause and effect.

Yacht Designing.

Yacht building has been reduced to an
exact science, and ''rule o thumb build
ers are giving way to the professional de-
signer. The hull is only one part of the
problem, so far as speed is concerned.
An ingenious builder may get up pass
able imitation of noted model, but when
it comes to placing his ballast and step
ping his mast, it is matter of pure guess
work, and he may guess wrong, and in
that case an old style boat, but one prop
erly balanced, will out-sail his modern
clipper. What science may do is told in
an article on ''Racing Schooners' in the
December Outing. The writer says:
The nicely of calculation in such vessel
as the Defender, built largely from ma
terials previously not thus employed,
floating exactly upon its predetermined
waterline, and carrying her enormous
sail spread at about the expected keeling
angle, is triumph of scientific prece-
dence.
Then as indicated above, comes the con-
struction Of the sail plan and the placing
of the ballast. ga mast stepped foot
or two out of place. says Outing, twill

the yachts with short waterlnes and deep
fins, an error in figuring the relative posi-
lions of the centre of effort of the sails,
and the centre of lateral resistance of the
hull to the water, will result in the yes
sells sailing in all sorts Of directions in
dependent of the rudder.'' To sum up:
''Everything about the form of a boat
sail plan, hull, keel, centreboard, rudder
rounds up in the problem of the loca-
ton of the centres.' What is said of sea-
going models will interest many of our
readers who like a good heavy weather
boat. Speaking of the schooner Lasca,
the writer in Outing says:
She was designed as an ocean cruiser.
and was therefore built with great full
ness at the lower part of the ss-section.
She has an easy bilge with nearly straight
lines from water line to keel, or with no
following out under the floor This
form is radically opposed to the latest
idea of speed and stability as eXempitied
in the newest racing yachts, but it is es-
sential i'll a sea going yacht. Such YES

low underneath the floor would De in a
precarious condition. The yachts of the
latter type are popular for the present,
because, when ballasted by deep keel,
they are fast in smooth water. Caught,
however, in a heavy sea with no wind to
steady her, boat of this type would be
in il fair way to Stat her masts out.

Grain-O is not astimulant,-itis something better.

Mrs. Scott=Siddons as an Actress.

Speaking of the late Mrs. Scott Siddons
The Belfast Republican journal thinks
that she did not appear in this country as
an actress but only as a public reader. This
is an error. Mrs. Scott Siddons began an
engagement at the Globe theatre in Bos-
ton, in January, 1881, appearing as Rosa
lind, Juliet, Blind Iolanthe in ''King
Rene's Daughter,' Juliana in ''the Hon
eymoon," and Viola in ''Twelfth Night, -
supported by strong company. At Port
land theatre she gave three performances
beginning Friday, April p. 1891, appear
ing as Rosalind and Viola in the evening
and as Lady Teazle at the matinee. Her
acting was commented upon at the time as
amateurish, marked by nervousness, arti-
ticality, abruptness and extravaganza, and
altogether disappointing except in certain
scenes. She was at her best in the forest
scenes, where the heroine appears disgus-
ed as a boy. The douolet and hose be-
came Mrs. Scott Siddons' classic beauty,
and no prettier boy ever trod the boards
In depicting the moods of the saucy, witty
and capricious Rosalind, she seemed to
lose selfconsciousness and become absorb
ed in the part. As Viola and Lady Teazle
she was less pleasing. Her tour was a
failure 1t convinced her as well as the
public that the mantle of the great ances-
tress had not fallen upon her She was
ambitious to become an actress, and she
had certain degree of histronic talent,
but it fell short Portland Advertiser

When a Contemporary Kicks.

The Belfast Republican journal does not
like to have its thunder stolen without the
courtesy of a single credit. We are not sur
prised at that for The Journal has lots of ex-
cellent matter. Rangelev Lakes sees eN-
tracts from ITS own columns, sometimes with
credits amt sometimes without, yet it looks
with pride on them al as having been thought
worthy of use What it does kick on is
to have a good local yarn and then have 1T
