WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGs. The
President has approved the act exempt
ing distillers of fruit brandy from ''any
provisions relating to the manufacture of
spirits, except as to the tax thereon y
when the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. may deem it expedient to do so; and
the act repeating the section of the Will
son tariff law making free of tax alcohol
used in manufactures and the arts. ... The
President has vetoed the general defci
ency bill because of the appropriation for
payment of French spoilation claims.
The general deficiency bill passed the
senate June Sth as it came from the
house. When the announcement of its
passage was made to the house at l. 40
p. M, the members cheered. The house
leaders believe this removes the last diff

any other ''third' party which has ever
figured in American politics. Its first
national ticket was put up in 1872, and it
has participated in every Presidential
campaign from that time to this. The
Peuohscot county Republican convention,
held in Bangor, June 18th, was presided
over by Col, Stetson. The following

FISH AND GAME. The State game COM
missioners Hon. Leroy J. Carleton, Hon.
Charles E. Oak, and Hon. II. o. Stanley,
were in Bangor last week on their way to
the Moosehead region and the northern
portion of the State. The commission,
was just from Mt. Desert island, where
two hearings were held. 1t will visit
Moosehead, the Rangeleys, Sebec and
many other well known fishing resorts to
listen to petitions to close certain feeders
to inland waters for term of years. ....
Sch. Lizzie Maud arrived at Portland
June from two weeks trip. She
brought 225 barrels of prime salt mackerel
and -, 00S pounds of fresh mackerel to j.
l.. Fernald. This was the first arrival of
salt mackerel this season...... Since the
opening of the fishing season at Moose
head lake, May o, over 500 sportsmen have
registered at Moosehead Inn.... 1t is ex-
pected that Eastport sardine packers will
return to the old method of frying fish
instead of baking, as practiced of late
years. Baking, it is claimed, dries up
the fishes, causing them to absorb the oil,
and thus producing a poorer grade of
edibles.

The plan for the proposed changes in the
Grammar School building was adopted and
submitted to builders for estimates. The
addition to be built on Miller street will be
in the centre of the building, two stories
high, with gable roof. 1t will be 1Sx1S feet,
of wood, with a platform from which two
flights of steps lead to the sidewalk. The
entrance to the upper rooms will be by a
broad flight of steps. The old partitions in
the building are to be removed and the pres
ent outside doors closed up A central par
tition will be built across the building
dividing each story into two rooms. The
seats will be arranged so that the light will
come from the rear and left, by having those
in the eastern end face the south and those
in the western end face the north. The
lower rooms will each contain four rows of
eight double seats to the row; the upper
rooms seven rows of seven single seats to
the row The building is to be supplied
with modern heating and ventilating appi-
ances 1t is proposed to change the Lower
Grammar school to this building and the
Central Intermediates to the rooms now oc-
cupied by the Lower Grammar.

Republicanism's Local DUTY.

In view of the Importance Of the en-
suing municipal election both as an
event of direct concern to the taxpayers
OF Scranton and as preliminary
skirmish in the county, state, and presi-
Dental battle which will come to an
issue next fall, it is essential that loyal
Republicans desist from dissensions
and get together for victory. The let
ter of Captain Moir, in spite of phrases
indicative of unjustifiable soreness, is
at all events clear and outspoken in its
definition of the duty of his friends and
colleagues toward the Republican city
ticket. Its advice is to close up the
broken lines and get ready like true
soldiers for the years approaching con-
tests. This is counsel which might
well have been spoken full fortnight
earlier, and its prompt observance is
earnestly recommended to all who SUBJ
scribe to Republican principles.
We believe that in the main it will be
heartily followed. There may be d few
stray exceptions of little or no impor-
tance. but so far as the great rank and
file of the supporters of Captain Moir
at the recent primaries is concerned, 1t
will hardly wish, because Of natural
disappointment in an unsuccessful
preference for the party. nomination, to
condemn the whole party to defeat or to
complicate or embarrass party success
in the trebly important presidential
campaign next fall. True Republican
lsm is above personalities. 1t rests on

An Immediate Responsibility

The nucleus of a new building fund
now been subscribed. 1t amounts to
little more than one-fifth of the total
necessary to the proper completion OF
the contemplated structure for which
foundations have been laid near the
Oral school, but since most of these
subscriptions are conditional upon the
raising of the full amount, every dollar
given now does practically the work
of two dollars by inspiring others to add
their contributions also.
The gentlemen who have undertaken,
not only to give of their own funds, but
to solicit gifts from Others are busy
men. They cannot give their whole
time to this work of public philan-
thropy. Nor should it be necessary for
them to do so. The signal usefulness of
the institution in question, even un-
der limited circumstances and in made
quate quarters, is known to every citi-
zen of Scranton. 1t follows that every
man and woman Of public spirit in the
city ought to perceive the necessity of
making their willingness to cooperate
known.
The question at issue is, Shall the
Home go back for an indefinite period
playground. meagre accommodations
and constant liability to destruction
by fire, or shall it, within reasonable
period, be enabled to occupy a properly
designed new tlre-proof building, with
ample grounds and suitable furnish
ings? In answering this question the
community should remember that the
next fire in the old structure may do
more than injure property; it may cost
lives as well. IF only one life We're to
be lost through the failure of the people
Of Scranton to do their duty to the
friendless waits within their gates,
would not that sacrifice be blood
stain upon the community's character,
and personal burden upon the con-
science of each citizen?
In obedience to eminent suggestion
The Tribune, with the consent of the
contributors. will add the funds which
1t has raised to the new building fund
already subscribed as a result of the
business mems meeting in the Board
of Trade rooms. and will henceforth
keep before the public only the one need
of new, proof Home. Every
Scrantonian ought to feel that this
matter is one of direct, personal inter-
est to himself. The dollar given to
well-directed charity means a dollar
saved in police court COSTS
