WASHINGTON LETTER.
Fron Our Regular Correspondent,
WASHINGTON, July 27, 1897

WASHINGTON, July 27, 1897
 President Mckinley had to
 abandon attending the dedication
 of the Logan statue in Chicago
 owing to the delay in disposing O
 the tariff bill, He did 60 very
 reluctantly, as he was. particularly anxious to be there, but, of course,
 duty came first. Be did not wish
 to be away from Washington when tehe tariff bill was finally acted upoa
 5y Congress.
 The tariff bill. as io nov stands, iis not perfect nothing of human I.constfaetion is--but 1t isa good lbiIl, and will be-endorsed by all
 who believe in 8 protective tariff, and will add 70 the believers iii
 protection. It will enable many thousand Americans to get the profitable employment they. have been without for four years, and will, at the same time, produce all the revenue needed to rua the gov ernment. No one man deserves more credit for this bill than Chair man Dingley, whose name the bill bears. Since last December, he has worked early and late on the meas ure, and if the DingIey tariff proves as popular as it's supporters expect, who knows but It's author may not in the course of time be As highly rewarded as was the author of the Mckinley tariff. Here's hoping that Dingley times may be as pros- porous as Mckinley times, and l am sure that Mr. Dingley would rather see the country prosperous than to be President.
 There is little probability that this government will take any notice of Japan's- supplementary protest against the annexation of Hawaii, not because of any par- ticular desire to snub Japan, but because Secretary Sherman's reply to Japan's first protest covered the ground so fully that no other answer is needed. The action of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in favorabiy reporting the annexation treaty without a dissenting voice, was additional notice to Japan, and all the rest of the world, that annexation is going to;be accomplished regardless of the opinions or wishes of other nations.
 No official of the administration nor member of either branch Of Congress takes seriously the En- glish-made rumor that Spain and Japan had formed an alliance to make war upon the United States. Nobody in Washington would be the slightest bit worried even fit were known that such an alliance was an accomplished fact, instead of being an English attempt to scare somebody, as a means of getting even" for the truthful statement of the tricky conduct of the Eugllsh government, made In Secretary sherman's instructions to Ambassador Hay, concerning the seal fisheries negotiations. It was not intended that these in- structions should be made public at this time, but they were obtained by wide awake newspaper man and printed. The publication has made the English editors very mad at the U. g., and their old occupa- tion of abusing us, which was sus- pended while the arbitration treaty was pending, has been resumed; bnt 1t is worthy of notice that no attempt has been made to con- trovert the truthtulness of Score tary Sherman's arraignment of Lord Salisbury.

Thursday evening the Bowdoin Glee club
gave the concluding enter tainment of
the series provided by the ladies' of the
parish. The house was crowded, and the
performances gave much pleasure. The
progT anime consisted Of concerted pieces

and piano by Messrs. Cobb, Dilloway
and Pennel, a mandolin quartette by
Messrs. Merrill, Moulton, White and
Potter q mandolin solo by Mr.. Merrill
and violin solo by Mr.. Cobb. Most of
the pieces were encored. The size Of the
clubs and the s:noothness Of their per-

talent at Bowdoin.

light receipts that they are likly to have
in England during the coming week
there is no doubt but that the market
will advance still further, but it can only
be temporary as liberal shipments are

that from now out, English markets

the months of January, February and

prevents the price of apples ruling very

for their own sex. At one time it seemed
almost an accomplished fact, but it fell
through for lack of money. Mrs. Stevens
then spoke of the few women who are at
Th0maston who have no matron. There
are about seventy women, of whom the
speaker might mention almost all the
names, who are simply going from the
house of correction to the Jail, constantly
source Of expense to the state. A great
deal of the lack of interest in this matter
d es not come from lack Of heart, but
from carelessness, and she begged the
women present to interest themselves and
others in this movement. The third mat
ter for which the organization is to work
is the matter of equal suffrage. Stalls
tics show that the number of bad men
are many, many more than the number of
bad women, SO that as far as that is con-
cerned. ggthe effect of tbs vote of the bad
women was NOT much to be considered.
The speaker then described meeting
at which Miss Willard spoke for home
protection, which was really for the suf-
frage, but which at that time seventeen
years ago was not agreed to by all the
members of the W. G. T. e., but which
since has so changed that now alrnoat all
the white ribboners are suffragists. There
Is also nothing to be said in favor of
mans voting, which cannot be equally
said in favor of women's voting. 1t ie al
SO little strange that with our state
motto, we should be SO behind SO many

doubt that so many Of our best thinking
men are in favor Oft this movement
An Informal discussion followed Mrs
Steyens's remarks, in which several of
the women present snok part for the SUBJ
jecGs under discussion were ell of deep
significance to every woman's heart. No
one present could fail to appreciate the
earnest, interested and generous spirit
which Mrs. Stevens Brings in her work
of reform, or help being impressed with
her deep faith that all these good things
will he brought about in time as surely
as the sun will rise.

New City Chnrter.
TO the Editor Of the Press:

In ADDITION to the suggestion already
made, which under existing conditions
seem eminently wise and proper, Eviz
the eleo tion of the school board by wards
instead of at large; permit me- to suggest
two further changes In the proposed city
charter. which occur to me as beneficial.
without detraoting from the general
plan Or principle involved.
First. That the term of Office for tine
mayor should be one year instead of
two.
Second. That the appointment of
heads OF departments. with the exception
OF the police department., should be sub
ject to the confirmation of the board of
aldermen.
1t would seem somewhat inconsistent
TO increase the RESPONSE biIiSaes and DOW
ers of the mayor, for which he is to hs
held strictly aocDuntable, and at the
same time by extending the tenure of
office, to defer the only practical remedy
in case OF any derelictioD on his part.
1t is highly improbable that any
board of aldermen such as we are likely
to elect, would attempt to interfere with,
or refuse to confrm any wise appoint
tainly warrants this assumption, On
the other hand, such provision would
restrain OF prevent the mayor from re-
moving competent OF cial from purely
personal or political reasons.
| With the changes suggested, see no
reason why the proposed charter would
not be q success. "Ex'

On Friday afternoon at three O'Clock
there was Assem- bled in the dainty APP
pointed parlors of the Congress Square
Hotel, a must interested audience of the
members of the W. G. t. o., and their
friends, to listen to an address by Mrs.
L. M. N. Stevens.
The meeting was opened by the reading
of the one hundred and forty sixth Psalm
BY Miss Cornelia G. Dow, the president
of the union, after which all present
Joined In repeating the Lords prayer.
Miss Dow then spoke of the three points
of reform for which the W. c. 7. u.
we're working, which would be brought
before the legislature at Augusta this
winter of which Mrs. Stevens would
speak.
Mrs. Stevens began by saying, that she
wondered if there were any in the audi
ence who did not realize what special
Significance that pa rtioular psalm had to
the white ribboners, and what it's power
had been in the past. Mrs Stevens then
briefly spoke of the National VIC. L. U.
convention at ST. Louis, which she at
tended in November, and alluded to the
remarkable growth of the society. Th1r-
teen years before in that city. the meet
inns were held In small church, and
this time the six thousand seats of the
Music flnll were hardly large enough for
the audience. The society had been well
coined to the city by the governor, mayor
and the Christian. Every feature of the
temperance reform was considered in the
ak DAYS meetings. The most notable
gathering of all was the Armenian mass
meeting, which more than filled the vast
Music hall. Flags of forty nations, in
which the W. C. I. q. is now esta D.
lished, were draped on the platform. In
front of it was the Armenian flag which
bears the face of Christ Never did the
motto for God, Home and Native land. :"
appear with greater significance, and at
this meeting collection of over a thous-
and dollars was taken for the Armenian
sufferers.
Mrs. Stevens then spoke Of the begin
ming of the work of the W. c. T. u.
which then was simply for the closing of
the dram shops, and now had developed
forty different departments of work.
From the temperance reform grew the
work for social purity. Here she de-
sorihed meeting at which she had heard
Miss Willard on this SUBJECT. Since then
the work has gone on, although at times
misunderstood. From this has grown the
interest in the girls who have no homes,
and at this time it was found that the
age OF protection in no stats was above
ten years. Here the women had worked
brayely, although it WAS never easy to
approach the men on this subject.
Mrs. Stevens then spoke of the change
in the laws in the various states in, this
particular, and now 1t has been raised
everywhere, and especially in the states
where women vote. In several states this
age has been raised to eighteen years,
which is the age they hope may be
gained In our own state, which is now
fourteen. Mr.. Gladstone has been quoted
as saving that this loyal protection
should continue till girl is eighteen.

school Room Decoration.

To the Citizens of Portland:
A word concerning the work of school
room decoration about to be ina ugurated
in this city.
The great opportunity to add to the
present education Of our children through
the use of that which is fine and noble in
art, is an appeal to every parent. citizen,
and enthusiast on education in our COM
munity. Il
The value and power Of that silent in
fiuencs which instills a love for the true
andssthe beautiful, can never be estimated
inswords, as it is one of the subtler forces
that make for character, usefulness, and
happiness, developing the best traits Of
individuality which the world SO needs.
Since half the waking hours of children
are spent in school, the uplifting power
of few fine pictures, casts, or portraits
ia beyond question, sand does not end in
the schoolroom.
Many homes will be made happier and
better by the ideas and impressions car
ried away; admiration for the interior
will bs corrected, and aElove Of simplicity
and truth will take its place.
The interest of the teachers, already
expressed, is adequate proof that the
decoration of schoolroom walls with
good prints and photographs, will ma
terially aid in the teaching of drawing,
history, geography, and natural history,
as objects of reference, as we'll as furnish
inspiration to their routine.
The work to be done Is great one
since our fourteen school buildings fur.
nish nearly one hundred and forty rooms;
but the appeal of the work is in proper
ton TO It's scope and value, far reaching.
There is broad field for good, throug h
bringing the best that art has to Offer
into OUT school rooms.
A committee of nine. from the
Woman's Literary Union, has been ap-
pointed to receive subscriptions from the
citizens of Portland, and you are earnest
ly requested to contribute to the fund.
The larger the amount in hand at the
beginning, the beuter the terms 70 be
made in buying subjects suitable to the
different grades.
Fromgthose who have made life study
of this work, valuable advice will he re-
ceived, so that the beginnings may be
in harmony with the end desired.
A request for the cooperation of the
school board has been made, through the
Superintendent of Public Schools, and
the matter will be brought before that
body at their next meeting.
