CURRENT COMMENT.
THE PRESIDENT FOR THE TIMES.
(Rosto., HeraldA


(Bostoc Herald)
1t is agreed on all hands that the ne1t
four years of the administration of the
national government are to be peculiarly
trying ones to the capacity of the Presi
dent to be elected for that term in office
4 We shall thon need a man of fixed
principles, of firm will, of wide. knowl.
edge, especially with a view to the bust
ness interests of the country, of char
acter that commands general confidence
among the people 1t used to he cue.
tomsry to claim among politicians thai
every election was the most important
yet held, but here is, indeed, an election
til at no one will deny is of transcendent
impol tancs. The currency of the country,
which is the life blood of it's business, is
In a doubtful condition. No intelligent
man of any party fails to trace the dis
ordered affairs of the country to this
fact. If nothing else is needed with re,
gard to them, it is essential to inspire
confidence. The extent to which gold il
already going away from us-a move
ment that is nastened and enlarged By
approximations as to the future of oui
politics-is an impressive lesson or this
point
The nation needs President that will
inspire confidence. This in itself is an
position. 1t will not do to say that we
are not dependent upon our President to
give tone to our national affairs The
President Is the most important agency
of all on that point in the eyes OF the
foreign nations, and 1t is in our foreign
exchanges that a large part of our present
trouble consists He is needed to inspire
the people at home with that faith in the
wisdom of this government in that re-
lance upon it's successful administration
which are essential If better times are to
be restored. AS a matter of fact the
President has been barrier against bad
legislation in several instances of our re-
cent history. 1t is of the first importan co
therefore, that this office shall be fifty
filled at the present juncture.
The business interests of the country
are especially now of moment with q
view to their right direction. Everybody
admits this. Even those who would
subordinate the currency by giving the
tariff precedence over it are still in the
instance of the tariff, dealing with a
business issue. We require a man of an
emineutly practical turn of mind to deal
with these. 1t may not be practicable to
obtain what Is recognized as business
man but it Is not necessary for man to
be personally engaged In business to
comprehend business principles. He may
have breadth of mind sufficient to appre-
ciate these without having entered actual
ly into their direction. The advice of a
good business lawyer in a business point
of view is of the highest value in dealing
with issues such as now confront the
country. Such AMMAN as Mr.. Thomas r.
r eed is, is therefore, one to inspire the
necessary trust in the public mind at
present.

Maine Steamship Company.

The Maine Steamship Company has
recently contracted for a new steel steam
ship of 1000 tons (baing double the oapao-
ity of tho largest of its present boats)
sud, in order to pay for the same, has ex-
ecured mortgage 10 the Portland Trust
Company, Trustee, conveying all it's fran
chises, rights and property. now owned
or which afterwards may be acquired.
The two steamers now in use, Man.
property of the Company, are worth up
wards of $500, 900; the new boat now
building will cost $500, QUO and against
this total of 800, 900 the Company has
issued $500, 900 Of First Mortgage six per
cent Sinking Fund Gold bonds.
These bonds are in denominations OF
$500 and $1,000, dated April 1st, 1896, pay
able without option 80 years after date
VIZ: April 1st, 1926, principal and inter-
est payable in United Sattes gold coin of
present standard of weight and hneness !;
they are further secured by a Sinking
Fund of two per cent. per annum ($6000),
beginning April 1st. 1897, which fund
is more than sufficient to pay the whole
issue at maturity if invested in the safest
securities yielding only 81 PER CENT
PER ANNUM. gssas
For some years regular dividends Of -
per cent, on $500, 600 Capital Stock have
been paid, and the stock sells at $65 per
share. par value $50, or over 100 per &c MT
premium. In 1895 the Company was en-
abled besides paying the above dividend
Of 1874, 900, to expend from it's earnings Of
that year $50. 600 in improvements and
additions to it's boats, in other words it's
net receipts were about sos, 900.
The interest on the above bonds will
be 18,O00 and will take precedence of
dividends on the stock. It will be seen,
therefore, that the Company is NOW earn
ing NET over three times the interest ON
| these bonds without taking into consider
alton the revenue to be obtained from this
new steamer, to purchase which these
bonds ara issued
Of the above $500, 900 bonds, S125, 900
have already been sold for permanent
investment, and we offer, subject to
sale, the balance, $175, 900. These bonds
are legal investment for Maine Savings
Banks and Trustees.
AS Trustee under the mortgage and
custodian of the Sinking Fund, we rec
ommend the bonds, believing them se-
cured by sufficient property and an estab-
lished business with large earnings,
while they yield far higher return than
any other safe home investment.

EDWARD N. FULLER.

Edward N. Fuller, now of Tacoma,
Wash. and who. eighteen years ago
was ditor-in-chief of The Herald, sue
ceeding the lamented Edward L. Sloan,
recently arrived at the list milestone
IN lifes journey, and the congratula-
tons received from his brethren of the
press in Tacoma tell in eloquent Ian
guage in what high esteem the veteran
is held in the state of Washington,
where he has been located for the last
fourteen or fifteen years.
A souvenir memento, containing the
kind words said of the veteran on his
last birthday, has reached The Herald,
and it is the pleasure of the writer,
who was well acquainted with Mr.. Full
Ter, to say with much feeling that all
the compliments showered upon him
are well bestowed.
Mr.. Fuller has spent fifty years in
newspaper work, and he has left
mark of which he may well be proud.
In short time Mr.. Fuller will leave
Tacoma for a trip to the eastern
states and the scenes of his childhood,
and he will take with him the files of
the papers he has edited in the various
cities east and west, with the idea of
presenting them to various public Ii
braries of the cities of his youth.
When Mr.. Fuller was in this city, now
nearly eighteen years ago, he
had very valuable collection
of newspaper files. collection
that no money would have temp
ted him to part with, nothwith-
standing the fact that he was not in
what might be called aff1uent circum-
stances; and we understand that in
the years he has been on the sound he
has added to the books which he so
jealousy guarded. Why he took such
care in the preservation of the files
which now have so much value, was
secret locked up in his own bosom, and
1T is now out for the first time.
The congratulations of The Herald
are added to those already received,
and the hope expressed that the vet
eran will not slight Salt Lake on his
tour to the scenes of his former tri-

Speaking of this Commissioner
Faure said that it means that we are
now housing only the bona fide and
deserving poor. The buns and tramps
can't stand our methods of investiga-
ton. They don't like our enforced
baths. They object to the work we
make them do. These fellows used to
spend in drink the money they had
raised by begging and then come to
the lodging house to sleep. Now they

There is any amount of sympathy
wasted on tramps and buns; how their
life is the result of conditions for
which they are in no way responsible;
how they have inherited this, that and
the other thing, when the truth of the
matter is that they are simply lazy

A Too learned Young lawyer.

Chief Justice Mercer Beasley of New
Jersey, now an octogenarian mas sat on
the bench for nearly forty years. De
spite this advanced age" says the Phila-
delphia Record his intellect is as bright
as ever. and his sense of humor as
keen as it was so years ago. His asso-
ciates on the supreme bench tell an
anecdote which occurred during the last
term OF court.
"A certain young lawyer, whose idea of
forensic strength consisted in the use OF
extraordinary law terms, without regard
to fitness handed the chief justice a
copy of his brief. After glancing at IT
the Judge interrupted the fedglinS by
remarking:: Mr. Blank, what particular
meaning did you attach to this sentence
when you wrote it,? The young lawyer
attempt to explain. and was finally forced
to admit that he had forgotten the sig
n:fcance of that particular sentence.
Thereupon the old chic dryly remarked:
You remind me OF a philosopher, VINO
years after having written a certain
book, was asked to explain passage.
After studying awhile he said: Young
man, when that passage was written,
lust two knew it's meaning. One was Al
mighty God and the other myself. NOW

is Almighty God. "
