reference to the financial affairs OF the
city
Inc aggregate debt Of the city IS, IN

proAlmately 100000 above the i've per

The net debt is in round numbers 81 300,

20 long as the aggregate debt reaches
or IS above the five per cent limit, the
taxpayers must from necessity meet by
lmmedlate taxation all expenditures or
binary or extraordinary.
1t is right that they should pay the
ordinary yearly expenses but when it
comes TO the payment in full for such ex-
traordinary improvements as Turkey S
bridge, IL IS IN TACT unjust and inequ1ta-
BILE. The taxpayers Of the future should
pay their portion of the cost for such
improvements, of a permanent nature, as
are OF equal benefit to them; and it seems
to me that The only solution for just
apportlonment OF such burdens is IN
deyising means whereby the aggregate
debt can be reduced below the five per
cent limit. he sinking fund as 1 under

General Orders, No. 8.
Memorial Day, May 80, occurring on
Sunday, the following day, Monday, May
81, will be observed as Memorial Day, in
accordance with the usual custom, and
the rules and regulations, unless excep-
tional circumstances in any particular
post render it impracticable, in which
case special orders will be issued perm t.
ting it otherwise.
Memorial Day is not day to be spent
in idle sports or frivolity, but is day to
f1ttingly honor tn memory Of those who
fell defending the best government ever
devised by mortal man.
Comrades, "There is nothing in all the
world you or can do for the dead,-they
are beyond our help; we can add to them
no glory, we can give to them no immor-
tality; the glory that trailed in the clouds
after their sun had set falls with it's
heavenly benediction upon us who are
living, and it is to commemorate the i'm
mortality of the ideas for which our COM
rades fought and died that you will carry
garlands and festoons Of flowers and rev
erently place them upon the graves of
fallen comrades and upon their tomb
stones that point upward towards the
great God that leads them in the glory
or the great world beyond.
Customs are pictures, photographs of
national life. " General Garfield once de-
clared. ''No more beautiful or expressive
custom has ever risen in any country or
any cline since the morning stars sang
together and all the sons Of God shouted
for joy at creations dawn.

solemn ceremonies of this day,-stand

reverent homage to your comrades who
there sleep the sleep that knows no awak-
ening in this world, and with glad and
swelling hearts lift up your thoughts and
voices to the Almighty Ruler of the World
in praise and thankfulness, that we also
were permitted to share with them in the
glory Of common service and in the
triumph of the righteous cause we all
loved SO well, and again renew and
strengthen the sacred ties of comrade-
ship.

To the freedom of planet and star;

And honor and virtue are sped,
We are true to the cause that they cher

And eternally true to the dead''

CAPITA n Robertson Late of the Crosby
Guards Explains.

Captain Erwin A. Robertson, late COM
mapder of the Crosby Guards, Company
A. Second regiment, has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Bangor Commercial:
Believing that some explanation is
due to my friends, who have read in the
Commercial the account of the findings,
and recommendations of the board of in
quiry, and the order for the disbandment
OF the Crosby Guards, l submit this open
letter for publication. With all respect
for the Judgment of the officers who had
the consideration of the matter, believe
that if they had more fully understood
the case they would not have made Il rec
ommendation that would have caused the
dlshonorable discharge of any officer of
the company.
Referring to my record / find that en-
listed in the service of the State in 1877,
and since that time l have served II
years, thus, being in the company, under
every commander, since it was organized
During all this time have, to my know
ledge, never received reprimand from
any superior officer, and have been I'M
able to learn of any good reason why
am not considered worthy of an honora-
BILE discharge the only breach of disci-
pline brought to my attention being the
oversight of not reporting my presence
for duty after my leave of absence in Oc-
ooDCi. NAiic ILLS lIllSub ueSefV6 d TopTI-
mand, ought it to be sufficient reason for
a dishonorable discharge? There have
been no charges made, therefore have
had no chance to defend myself, while
my record had been one of which l was
proud.
At the time when I took command of
Co. A., it was at the bottom of the list
OF the % companies of the National
Guards of the State of Maine, and at the
close of the season they held third posi-
ton, as recorded, having 100 per cent.as
rifienen. This required much hard
work, but | did not regret giving SO
much time to it, as I thought ! saw
chance to secure in the near future the
first placs-as we'll as better-in my regi-
ment.
| There has been prepared petition,
covering this ground for the considera-
ton of the honorable governor and com
mander-in- chief, which is being signed
by all of the honorably discharged mem
bers OF Co. A., and a hope is entertained
that the decision may be changed; or,
that the captain may be allowed to appear
before the proper authority and bring ev-
idence that he has been honorable and
faithful in these matters.
Feeling that this explanation was due,
especially to my comrades of the Sons of
Veterans, wish to assure them that my
life and services areas my fathers We're
| always at the dispos al of my State and
country.

Der OF robins there are on the grounds
this spring. More than l
have ever seen there before.
In the crotch OF an ash tree | found an
other little fellow who had not yet learn

fast from his little red breasted mater.
Where ever went that bright morning
i found them, in the flower beds. on the
lawn and up in the trees. some of them
singing, others buisly engaged in the,
to them, all absorbing work of catching
a nice fat worm for lunch. Off to the

the bright Sunshine he sat with feathers
all ruffled up, looking as if he was half
asleep. His actions belied his looks,
however, for in an instant he had
smoothed down his feathers and with a
quick dart off he went, and with fiutter-
ing wings he he'd himself suspended in
the air. Then quick snap Of the beak
making noise at times like the rapidly

Then back he came to his perch ready for

Feathered Visitors at the Capitol.

Having occasion TO call at the capitol
few days since l treated myself to a
stroll through the grounds and renewed
my acquaintance with the little
feathered visitors there. l had taken
but few steps from the south entrance
when l came across group Of those
boisterous, misunderstanding little chaps,
the English sparrows. upon ledge above
a window. Three of them with feathers
ruffied, clustering and chattering away.
Two OF these little chaps were trying to
out do each other in their attention to
the third, a little brown Miss, who was
receiving them quite coolly. Now when
two such ardent little wooers pay their
respects to the same little lady some
thing unusual happens. They don't re-
main good friends long. And so it
proved with them, for down they came
10 the ground, their beaks locked in
each others feathers, turning over and
over in their efforts to punish each other.
Their little brown eyes fairly ablaze
with rage, watched them for few mo-
ments; then thinking it time to stop this
royal battle l proceeded to calm their
ruffied feelings by throwing them a
handful of wheat which l had ia my
pocket. They, with some of their
friends who soon came for share OF the
feast, became interested in picking up
the wheat, forgetting all about their
trouble of but moment before.
Out in the grass short distance from
where was standing, were four of our
always interesting little friends, the rob-
ine. Mr.. Robin, his wife and two child
rem were taking their lunch Of worms.
These two young robins were large and
we'll festhered for go early in the spring.
When first saw them thought they
were young birds. How amusing it was
to watch them running from one parent
bird to the other for the worm they had
just dug up. They would open their lit
tic yellow mouths for 1t when the old
bird would carefully tuck it in. Then
with a swallow and look that tasted
like more they would cock their wise
title heads and wait till the patient old
bird had found another. What a num-
