Resignation Of Superintendent Roweil.

All in anyway acquainted with Super
intendent Rowells successful manage
ment of the Maine Industrial School
for Girls, will regret to learn of his
resignation as superintendent and
treasurer of that institution. He be-
came treasurer of the school in 1877
and soon after business manager, and
little later was elected superinten-
dent and treasurer. the duties of
which positions he has since performed
with the utmost fidelity rare good
judgment and business sagacity. 1t
has been a work very near his heart
and to every detail of it he devoted
himself conscientiously and with I'M
tagging zeal. Those acquainted with
the somewhat peculiar and exacting
demands Of such an institution appre-
ciate the need of tact and sympathy
on the part OF those concerned in it's
management. These qualities united
with Mr.. Rowelrs recognized abilities.
integrity and unwearying efforts ac-
count for the full measure of success
that has attended his long and faith
full stewardship. while the beneficent
influence such devotion must have ex-
erted upon the lives of wards of the
institution during his conduct of its
affairs is Unreasonable. The Thought
of such results attending the GROWING
work of his active life must be pecu-
liarly gratifying to him as it is to his
friends and will. NE trust. more than

CleveIand's Aid to the Silverites.

There is no question but that Presi-
dent Cleveland has been of more SER
vice to the free silverites than, almost
any other one individual in the
country. To some this may seem at
nrst to be a startling proposition but
rot when it is recalled that the most
effective argument of the silver cru
SADIE in the recent campaign was that
our finances were being run by a syn
dictate and that this very argument
was furnished by President Cleveland
himself. when he took the extraordi-
nary measure to protect the gold re-
serve of calling to his aid Mr.. Morgan
and associates, whereas as was after
wards demonstrated by the popular
loan such action was not only unnec
essary but prejudicial Not content
with that mistake, and others of SIM
liar though not so important influence

places in the mouths of those silver
senators who may wish to embarass
legislation pretext whereby they
may hope to escape such public con-
domination as they will merit. In his
message to this Congress he says:
Il believe our present tariff law, if
allowed a fair opportunity, will in the
near future yield a revenue which
with reasonably economical expendi-
lures, will overcome all deficiencies.
In the meantime no deficit that has oc-
Cured or may occur need excite or
disturb u.s.
Now of course, no one will accuse
Grover Cleveland of Willingly afford

fact remains that he has done so on
several occasions, two of which we
have mentioned. This last is not.
may be said of the former 1t is a
deliberate disregard of facts in order
that he may go out riding the same
hobby upon which he entered and thus
flatter his self imagined infallibility.
1t was not to be expected that Pres
ident Cleveland would write a mes
sage, which would elicit from all sides
unqualified approval; not was it to be
supposed, that. holding such views
upon some questions as he is well
known to have. there would be a total
absence of partisan criticism. But
Republicans as well as Democrats
have quite generally approved certain
of his acts and there can be no great
desire upon the part of the Republi-
cans to begrudge him commentator
wnere such is due nor a wish to de-
prive him of decent exit from public
life. Indeed a considerable part of his
message has received not LITTLE com
ihehuation from many of those who
are opposed to him politically.

MERELY AN ENGLISH TRICK
Exclusion Of Settled Districts
Leaves Nothing Else.
Ex-Minister Scruggs Defines the SEEM
ingly Liberal Proposition of the
British Premier.

The London Times of January "a con-
tanned statement that England had
abandoned the Schomburgk line as a limit
and excluded only from arbitration settled
districts; that is, British districts; that
any proposition on that line made by
Venezuela or by the United States in
her behalf would be favorably received.
That the doors would then be open for
counter-propositions; that ii WAS no secret
that Lord Salisbury was anxious To receive
and favorably consider any fair and frank
proposition looking TO Il settlement.
Hon William l.. ScruggS, ex-united States
minister TO Venezuela, and now the legal
counsel of the Venezuela government in
Washington, stated yesterday that that is
very misleading.
THE professcd aban donment of the
Schomburgk line coupled with the reserva-
tion of settled districts, is, in point of fact,
no more nor less he says, than the re-
assertion of the Schomburgk line as limit,
because every available point within the
Schomburgk line, and certainly every
strategic point within that line has been
settled by mining camps. police stations, etc.
IF the proposition of the Times would
ittfHt
within the last fifteen years, it would be a
practical restoration of the status quo of
l $50, and that is all Venezuela has ever
asked as a preliminary measure TO arbitra-
ton. If, after proper investigation, Eng
lands title TO any territory east of the
Aberdeen linc-that is TO say between the
Morocco and Essequibo Rivers-Should he
found defective that, too, could be sub
jected to arbitration.
And that to all intents and purposes
would he in accordance with the agreement
of May / 5, 1885, by Lord Granville. which
was to submit the whole case To arbitration,
but that agreement by Lord Granville was
rcpudiated by his successor, Lord Sails
bury, just two months later. So that in
the absence of some explicit understanding
as to what should be understood by sell
tied districts, what number of years or
what time is necessary to give them that
character, and whether mere police and
sentry boxes and mining camps shall be
considered British settlements-in the
absence of that under nding il would be
worse than futile to begin negotiations on
the basis proposed by The Times.
lit is hardly necessary to state that
Venezuela is now ready, as She has ever
been since 1874. to submit the whole
question of boundary without conditions
or reservations to impartial and friendly
arbitration"
