American people for aid to Greece a
good many Americans wish it We're pos
sible to give such aid to Greece that
she might obtain justice but that seems
impracticable. SO far as actual suffer
ing and the need of outside relief are
concerned the condition of the poor
Cubans who have been shut up in
Spanish towns seems to deserve the at
tention of American philanthropists
just now.

said to have been performed by the lit
tie turbine-driven boat Turbinia off the
coast Of England A speed of 3234 knots
is credited to the craft. The Turbinia
is but 100 feet long with 44h tons dis
placement and the speed attributed
to her seems incredible with any engine
which she might carry. But the engine
is a new device, which many think will
and result in such speed that the ocean
greyhound of today, equipped with the
new engine, will be able to make the
passage in four and a half days

A PROCLAMATION.
By the Governor.

The statutes of our State wisely declare
that the Governor shall annually set apart
day in the spring as Arbor Day, for the
planting of trees, shrubs and vines.
Shade trees and shrubs add much to the
beauty of our cities and villages and tc
the comfort and elegance of our homes.
To the end that their planting should be
encouraged by concentrated action, this
day has been established. I therefore
appoint Monday, the tenth day of May
next. to be observed as Arbor Day, and !
recommend that all the people Of our
State show a commendable zeal in pro-
noting the objects for which this day Is
designed, by devoting the time to plant
fng ornamental trees and shrubs along
their streets. in public parks and other
places and around their homes.
GIVEN at the Executive Chamber, in
Augusta, this thirty-first day of
March. in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety
seven, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the one

The recent town meeting at Fort
Kent seems to have had disappoint-
ment for some of the towering ambi-
ton up that way. The young man who
strove to defeat Major Dickey for the
Legislature last fall was right on tn
field this spring. for the major returned
home with a cold he contracted on the
way and has been very sick. He was
unable to attend either the commence

Major Dickey has a son, who is the
son of his father, and appears to have
skill as a political organizer and in re-
tanning the confidence of his followers.

father had been visible about his
shoulders.

sp.a..r Reed. Critics Appear Ridiculous.

The overwhelming vote by which
Speaker Reed was sustained in the
House. Monday.in the policyof combining
legislation in that body chiefly to the
tariff at this extra session, was timely
and to quote his words, desirable IN
Justice to himself and to the House
There has been of late much criticism
of this policy and the old familiar cry
of Gar has been taken up by those
whose words. written or spoken, COM
mand more or less attention. Henry
Litchfield West in the current number
of the Forum takes the speaker to task
as an autocrat and makes an elaborate
argument for depriving the speaker of
some of the power now welded by him.
1t is possible that it may be found de-
sirable to take from the shoulders OF
the presiding officer some of the re-
sponsibility now resting thereon but
no practical plan for doing this has yet
assumed definite shape. Certainly the
present condition is far and away su-
perior to that which existed before Mr..
Reeds strength made the change pos
sible. AS matters now are the House
has responded to the demands of the
situation better than ever before. IL
whereas before it was not, within the
limits of reasonable time.
The speaker, whenever he has noticed
the criticisms upon his policy, has re-
piled that he simply exercised a neces-
sary authority vested in him by the ma
jority of the House and which could be
taken from him at the will of that ma
iority. The vote on Monday was taken
at his request to demonstrate this by
actual test. The demonstration was as
conclusive as well could be. more it
was very remarkable by reason of the
circumstances. Undoubtedly many OF
the members desire opportunity to get
certain matters in which they are spec
have constituents to please and their
own reputation to serve and they desire
action as much as the ambitious subor-
dinate in the army wishes for oppor-
tunity to rise and longs for the chances
of war. Notwithstanding all this when
the speaker sought this test vote-it
was not forced upon him-he was up
held by practically all of his party and
by half the Democrats present In
view of this such criticisms as made by
Mr.. West, referred to above, the pur-
port of which was that the speaker
should be forced to heed the respectful
demand of his colleagues, seems alb
surd. 1t is of the same kind as recent
pessimistic views respecting the decay
of party organizations. of free govern
ment, of political virtue, of political
leadership, etc The intelligent House
of Representatives is not for long going
to endure tyranny. the intelligent pub
lie, growing more intelligent on public
questions every day, is not awaiting the
cultivation of despot. There will al
ways be disappointment for those who
have theories far in advance of the
theories of the great majority. and even
if these advanced theories have been
shown to be practical, as most of them
have not, the ones who originate them
must be so patient that they can
gracefully acquiesce if the public gem
orally does not rise to their point OF
view in one or two generations.

special note of the article "Falling

The March output was Gust what was
agreed upon" by the trust; no surplus was
allowed to come out of the mines. And
there is no increase to be "allo7Oed" in
the tonnage 'this month and next"
The quantity is to be kept down to
scant supply; just enough to enable the
monopoly to hold the extortionate price

winter price mark From the produce

trade never looked more promising"
