Hopkins six men, who were originally
for Mason and only deserted him when
released by the ex-congressman, and
finally all Of Carr's representatives and
senators took refuge under the Mason
standard, leaving Hit and Allerton
alone to oppose him on the floor of the
house.
Just as soon as they found out what
had happened however, they lost no
time in ordering their managers to
withdraw their names. so that when
the caucus was called to order In the
house Of representatives at S:17 Mason
was the unanimous choice of the l26
Republican senators and representa-

125 Republican members formally rati-
fed the nomination of William E. Ma

The Loud bill will probably have
thorough airing before it gets through
the Senate. That certainly is what it's
opponents desire. AT present it is be-
fore the Senate postoffice committee
that will give hearings upon it Friday
and Saturday. This is at the request
of Senators Hale and Frye who, it is
said, will oppose the bill at every step,
and their opposition signifies much. OF
the sentiment of the committee toward
the measure Lincoln writes the Boston
Transcript as follows: Mr.. Wolcott,
chairman OF the Senate PoStoffice COM
mittee, and an ardent champion of the
bill, is now in Europe. Mr.. Mitchell of
Oregon, also an active member of the
committee, is at home looking after his

measure was proposed eight years ago,
Mr.. Mitchell is said to have 'smothered
it," and SO his absence is not now re-

ment to that effect receives daily con-
firmation.' Yesterday saw Secretary
Olney and communicated to him Cen
eral Lees message. l am not per-
mitted, however. to make public Mr..
Olney's comments
Money has all along been friend Of
Cuba and it may be said, perhaps, that
he went down there to confirm his
views. Be that as it may it does not
appear that Gen. Lee went there with
such intentions. On the contrary the
views of his chief are well known to
favor Spain. Such an expression as is
attributed to Lee is likely to get him
into trouble but we do not for mo-
ment believe that Money has misstated
such an important matter However
much hedging" under pressure may
follow it is reasonably certain that
Lee said what Money declares he did.
In view of all this does it appear that
the administrations efforts to- enable
Spain to settle the question without
losing her grip on Cuba is fair, honor
able or in any sense just toward a
people fighting against hideous oppres-
sion and for the dearest hopes vouch-
safed to human beings?

When Death is Fair.

When the heart is dumb with aching,
And a sickness fills the BRAIN.
And the spirits nigh to breaking
With the endless round of pain.
Then it is the dread death angel
With his icy, numbing breath,
Seems to us a sweet eVangel,
And we shudder not at death,
But we listen for his coming
And his knocking at the gate.
Like the children at the lattice
For the father who is late.

The provision in the will of the late
Mr.. A. D. Manson making a bequest
in aid of a building for the Bangor pub
lie library has awakened a new inter-
est among leading citizens concerning
the need of this important educational
institution of that city. Why shouldn't
Bangor have one Of the finest public
library buildings in the State? The
city already has an excellent lot and
$21 900 toward library building. With
such a beginning there would seem to
be all the encouragement that could
reasonably be wished.

AT meeting OF some of the MOOSE
head lake guides last week there was
opposition to the licensing of guides
expressed by guides themselves on the
ground that such a step would be of no
benefit to the craft and might possibly
work injury. Their objections would
have more weight if they could show
in what way license system would in
jure a guide in his legitimate vocation.

One of the leading citizens of Fay
cite writes the. Journal regarding the
tramp nuisance in that section as fol-
lows: 1.-The present season particular
ly has brought out an unprecedented
number of this class of travellers.
Never have they been SO numerous, on
the highways, in this vicinity as now.
Not only are they an annoyance but
they are becoming a dangerous ele-
ment on our roads. Only a few days
since an attempt was made by two of
them to hold one of our tOwnsmen
up by springing for the horse, and
failing in this they sprang for the
sleigh but fortunately they were I'M
able to accomplish their purpose.
The next day two of them We're ar
rested for breaking into and entering
a dwelling house, and are now lodged
in Jail at Augusta awaiting trial. These
object lessons are of almost daily oc-
Currence throughout the country. In
the days of "coasty" and brock"
when at long intervals a ''straggler"
or an unfortunate, begged at our doors,
there We're but few who would not
respond for humanity's sake-but when
they come as now, in pairs, trioS and
quartettes, it becomes an intolerable
nuisance, saying nothing of the added
expense of towns whose just taxes are
often difficult to meet, nor depreda-
tons and the possible danger to the
lives of those who are expected to care
for them. A noticeable feature is that
the accent of these persons almost
without exception, betrays the for
eigner. If the industries, enterprises
and resources of this State, as well as
of others are not sufficient to employ
this army of vagabonds then there
should be measures adopted to rid the
country of them or at last to prevent
an increase in numbers. First, there
should be national legislation and the
enactment of laws more stringent to
prevent immigration of this class. We
must face. however, the present con-
dition. A few towns, il is true, have
devised means whereby they are
Stunned by the tramp. While this is
fortunate for them, it does not decrease
the numbers, and only drives them to
surrounding or more distant places"
