will lead the opium forces, Senators
McCandless and Hooking say ''me

and the latter says he has four other
Senators pledged to the bill.
Senator Waterhouse opened the ball
by asking his friends what they put
down the monarchy for. "She want
ed TO promulgate "A new constitution"
said McCandless. "That's right" says
Hooking.
81 tell you that opium played big
figure in that affair" said Water
house. "The attempted license of
opium was one OF the things that led
me to shoulder a musket. 1t was what
led others to shoulder muskets. We
have told our friends in the States
that opium was one Of the items that
led to the overthrow. Let US be con-
sistent. Let US show our colors right
here and now. Pm ready TO shoulder
a musket again and there are others

McCandless: "There were 5000
pounds of opium came into this coun-
try last year and only 1900 pounds
captured by the customs and police.
L want to see the Government get
some revenue from this"
"How do you know how many
pounds came into this country was
the jocular retort of Mr.. Waterhouse.
''Furthermore the country has a closer
grip on the opium crowd than it has
ever had before. Ii you want the re-
venue, tax us,iu some other way. Buy
a revenue cutter and keep the drug
out of the country. Then again what

Sultan Russia didn't succeed in getting
the Sultan to resign his fate to her with

this Mr.. Terrell was undoubtedly well
advised all along. or course he could do
no less than inform the administration at

1t requires very slight effort of the
quickness the Cleveland administration
made its right about face" in the matter
of foreign policy; when the President
who stultified himself over Hawaii and
Samoa and had shown partiality fol
everything English, sudderly uttered in
thunder tones the opposition of oul
government to English land grabbing
schemes in South America.
The country was little dazed at first but
realizing that their President was for once
right in the main, that the great prin-
ciple underlying was patriotic, they
unhestaiingly supported him without
question. They are just us ready to sup
port him today although since they have
had time TO analyze his utterance on the
subject they see one or two Objectionable
features Neitter are they now disposed
to seriously question his motive for such
an abrupt change OF front; if it was politics
it will be known in due time and it is
unpleasant to attribute such motive tc
patriotic act although we find few
among the Cleveland organs that are
willing to concede that there is n Republi-
can in Congress today, who favors the
Monroe doctrine expect for political
capital. Happily no one believes such
nonsense.
But to return to Mr.. Cleveland: whilt
people arc not bothering their heads
about his motive they naturally have a
little curiosity concerning such lightning
transformation and recent reports Of Eng

The death of the great English artist,
Sir Frederick Leighton, recalls an in
cident that was the turning point of the
mans career and ILLUSTRATED the good
sense and rare discernment of the eminent
American sculptor, Hiram Powers.
Leighton had been educated in medicine,
profession in which both his father and
grandfather had attained high rank His
inclinations, however, were toward art.
His father demnrred being willing that
his son should be an artist only on the
likelihood of his being more than second
rate. Accordingly he agreed to leave his
sons work to the decision of Mr. Powers.
On one memorable day, father and son,
with bundle of sketches, Went to the
sculptor to ask his opinion and advice.
The sketches were exhibited The father
stated his views, and said that if his son
had powers that would lead to eminence
in art he might pursue it as career. but
that he (the father) could not approve the
choice of such profession il his son could
only remain mere mediocrity. The
oracle, after due examination of the speci
mems produced, answered decisiyelv
. Your son may become as eminent as he
pleases. Leightons work fulfilled the
prediction.

cities. Ala towns, and SO plantations en-
titled to 1911 delegates.
Republican State Committee
Augusta, Maine, Jan. 2S, 1896.
The basis of representation in the call
for the Republican State convention
to be held at Portland Thursday,
April 9th, 1896, for the purpose of nom
mating two electors for President and
Vice President of the United States, four
delegates at large and four altcrnates to
attend the national Republican conven-
tion to be held at st. Louis, Missouri
June 10Th, 1896, is as follows:
Each city town and plantation will be
entitled to one delegate and for each IS
votes cast for the Republican candidate
for Governor in 1894, an additional dele
gate, and for fraction of forty votes in
excess of seventy five votes a further
additional delegate.
That there may be no misunderstood
ing, the secretary of the committee has
made classification Of delegates based
upon this representation. The town or
plantation which threw seventy four
votes is, under this call, only entitled to
one delegate. In order to get a second
delegate 1t must have thrown seventy five
votes for the Republican candidate for
Governor in 1894 The fraction of forty
votes to give another delegate, must be in
excess of seventy five votes.
1t Is hoped that if any errors are dis
covered in the list they will be promptly
reported to the secretary so that all mis-
takes may be corrected
