The Duke of Anjou and the Duke of
Orleans have squabbled over the right
to adorn their plate and furniture with
the ancient arms Of royal France. The
courts have sided with the Duke of Or
leans. but the Judges could not help
saying that, in their opinion, the whole
lawsuit was foolish, for France, being a
republic, does not ofieialy recognize
patents of nobility.

President William r. Harper of the
University of Chicago holds some pc
culiar ideas concerning Sunday school
instruction, and having been chosen
Superintendent Of the Hyde Park Bap-
fist Church school, he will try to put
them into practice. His scheme in
cludes an experimental school and a
normal course, the latter to comprise
a study Of methods of teaching and
to be tested in the experimental school.
He thinks that at present instruction
is often given in an incompetent and
sometimes almost harmful way in Sun
day schools.

REVENUE 1T WILL MAKE.
Estimates ON the Results of the Senate
Bill.

Washington, May 8.-The Republican
nance today furnished the Democratic
members Of the committee with estimates
of the revenue to be derived from the
tariff bill as prepared by them and as
compared with the House bill and the
Mckinley and Wilson flaws, together
with statements showing a comparison of
rates of duty reduced to ad valorem figures.
The estimates of revenue and importa-
tons are given on each item separately
but no computation as to the general vol
ulne is made either for the entire or for
the individual schedules. A rough cal
culation of the estimates given on the
importations of sugar indicates proba-
BILE total of about $50, 600, 600 as provided
by the House bill There is no estimate
of the amount of duty to be derived from
either tea or hides, or wool as whole,
all of which are taken from the free
list.
According to this statement the uni
form rate of the Senate bill ON raw sugars
is rs per cent ad valorem, while that of
the House bill is u per cent Under the
Wilson law the rate ranges from A to As
per cent; under the Mckinley law sugars
were free. 1t is note worthy that the esti-
mates include the sugar imported from
Hawaii as among the dutiable importa-
lions, rs per cent being the estimate upon
it as upon all other sugars.
Other estimates are:
Wool unwashed, Senate 1887 per cent
House and Mckinley, 1862; Wilson act,
free; third class valued at over 10 per
cent; Senate, 5.63 per cent; House and
Mckinley bills, 81 per cent. Yarns, Sen
ate, 90S7; Wilson bill, 40; Mckinley act,
50.61 House rate ad valorem, equivalent
not given. Wooden cloth valued at more
than so cents per pound, Senate, 94.45;
House, 10; Wilson law, 30. The wooden
schedules shows a general reduction from
the House rates. Machinery, Senate As
per cent; House, 35; Wilson and McKin-
ley, 45 each. Shingles, Senate, 1915;
House, 1878; Wilson bill, free; McKin-
ley, 1862
The Portland daily press., 1897-05-10

The Senate tariff bill is coming in for a
good deal more criticism than commenda-
ton from the RepublicanEpress. The New
York Tribune declares that its sugar
schedule is more favorable to the trust
than that of the Wilson bill 1t is not
pleased either with the duties on tea and
beer, declaring them to be ''out of the line
of Republican principle" The New York
Press condemns the extirpation of the
reciprocity clause, and the Philadelphia
Press denounces the revised wool schedule
as severe blow to the carpet industry
New England is up in arms against the
duty on hides, and Senator Hoar says he
will never consent to that duty. Still
the Republicans of the Senate finance
committee are entitled to lenient judg-
ment. They found themselves without
majority in the committee, and COM
PEELED to choose between no tariff bill at
all and one acceptable to Senator Jones,
who represents the pocket borough of Ne
vada. Jones had the power to dictate the
bill he wanted, and he appears to have
used it, for all it was worth. The hope is
that it may be possible to eliminate in the
Senate some of the worst features put in
by Jones. We regret to say, however, that
this hope is rather forlorn one. Indeed
there is better prospect of getting more
bad features in than getting any of the
bad ones out. Jones' success is likely to
spur every silver Republican and Populist
to set high price on his vote in the
shape of exorbitant demands for
duties. Worse than passage of the
bill even as it now stands1 would
be, however, the prolongation of the de-
bate, and therefore the uncertainty, until
next autumn, as some of the Senators
are now threatening. Business can adapt
itself to tariff to large extent, even if
it be not an ideal one, when it is definite
ly known what it is, but it can never
adapt itself to uncertainty. If there is
no reasonable prospect of making the bill
better the sooner it is passed and Con-
gress adjourns the better business men
will be satisfied. The season is too far adj
vanced now to expect any business revival
until fall, and all chance of it's revival
then will be spoiled if the tariff is still
bone of contention.

Disaster still continues to overtake the
Greeks. They have now lost Volo, and
there is nothing to prevent them losing
Athens except the Intervention of the
Powers, and it now looks as if that was
not far off. Apparently the enthusiasm of
the Greeks, which appears to have been
their main reliance, has evaporated,
and they are now ready to ask the Powers
to help them out of their scrape, on
almost any conditions that may be
imposed. 1t may be, however, that the
Powers will not find the solution of the
problem SO easy as they anticipate. The
Turks blood is up. His repeated successes
have swelled his pride, and he may not be
willing to stop advancing simply because
the Powers tell him to-

If the taxes have to be increased in this
city this year it will be on ac-
count of extraordinary expenditures made
necessary by the rebuilding of Turkey S
bridge and the construction of a school
house on Munjoy Hill. The Park system
has nothing to do with it. The expendi-
lures in the purchase of land for that sys-
TEN do not exceed $4,000 or $4,000 yearly, a
sum that would have no appreciate effect
upon the taxes. Meanwhile in view of the
situation it is the duty of the administra-
ton to pursue as economical policy as
possible. There have been some indica-
ton that it was inclined to scrutinize the
expenditures of past administrations
more closely than those of its own. There

Walton succeeded Seth May of Win

of May 1862. Not one of these men is
now living. Judge Walton was reap
pointed in 1869, 1876, 1888 and 1890. OF
Judge Walton's present associates on the
bench, Judge Peters is the Oldest, both in
years and time of service, having been
appointed associate = justice in 1878 and
chief justice in 1883. Judge Walton
has perhaps excelled any other
member of the court in his time in the
clearness, force and definiteness of his
opinions His convictions have always
been strong, and he has never lacked the
courage to express them, no matter how
great responsibility was involved. The
lawyer who called for a ruling from
Judge Walton always got one SO clearly
conceived and concisely expressed that
there was no doubt as to it's meaning and
scope. His written opinions in the Maine
Reports are models of clear and vigorous
English. His retirement takes away from
the Supreme bench of Maine one Iof the
soundest lawyers and clearest headed
judges that has ever adorned it. In select
ing his successor Gov. Powers has natural
ly and properly been guided to a large ex
tent by the advice of the Bar. With great
unanimity they recommended Judge
Savage of Auburn, gentleman who en-
joys high reputation as lawyer, and
who has frequently been honored by his
fellow citizens with offices of high trust.
There is no question but that the Gov
ernor has made fortunate selection.

The action of the Leadville miners in
attempting to compel the discharge of
all non union workmen from the proper
ties in that camp, are becoming monot-
onously wearisome. The utmost con-
sideration has been accorded the miners
in their late troubles with the mine own
ers, but toleration has almost ceased to
be virtue. They should allow little
reason to occasionally pcrmeate their
dealings with the operators. 1t seems
that in their frantic endeavors to rule off
every body but themselves, they forget
that some one else may have some rights
to respect. The charge that the non
union men are imported Missourians
doesn't, to some minds, seem to carry
very cogent reasons for their being de-
barred from equal privileges with other
American citizens. The struggle OF la.
Dor against unreasonlng capital always
enlists the sympathy of the people. But
when labor becomes unreasoning also,
they can be accorded 40 more consider
alton than capital under similar condi-
tions.
