A Word About Commodore PrebIe.

The Boston Herald says: 'In a rec
ent edition of The Herald there was a
slight inaccuracy in an article referr-
ing to the connection of Commodore
Preble with the constitution. 1t stated
that the Commodore was a native of
New Hampshire. whereas he was born
in Portland, Me-, and, without any dis
paragement of New Hampshire, very
proud of the fact of his Maine nativity.
His father was Brigadier Jedediah
Preble noted soldier of the Revolution.
Brigadier Preble was the first general
appointed in the Revolutionary War, his
commission antedating that of WASH
ington.
An interesting story is told of the old
commodore in connection with the work
OF subjugating the Barbary coast pi-
rates. He was sent for by one Of the
native kings for the purpose of holding
council: The commodore accepted
the invitation, but when he reached the
place appointed for the conference the
king refused to see him until he re-
moved his chapeau.
The commodore sent a message in
which he stated that American citizens
would not take off their hats to any
king, and refused to accept the audi
ence unless he saw the king while in
full uniform and with covered head

The Sale Of the Union Pacific.

At the sale of the Union Pacific to
take place Nov. list, all the world may
bid. The government has accepted the
decree of the court as to the sale and
is guaranteed a bid of $50, 600, 900 by the
reorganization committee and is
free to accept as much more
as any syndicate or other pur-
chasers may see fit to offer for the
property. The foreclosure suits were
brought under the previous admins
tration and the guaranteed bid was
then $45, 754.059. The DEGREES were not
satisfactory and this administration
prepared to make an appeal when the
guaranteed bid was raised over $4,000,
600. Attorney General McKenna says
of this:
This increase removed the objec-
tons to the DEGREES, so far as the mon
ey contentious were concerned. In all
else the DEGREES were just and salts

appeal did not seem justified. Regard
ing a higher bid, the prospect of it
seems as great now as it would be
later. There considerations determined

ENTERPRISE and Boosting.

The New York Journal says it is will
what it has done, referring to the es-
cape of Miss Cisneros. That, of course,
means that if Spain wants to fight on
account of the rescue the Journal will
meet her with it's own fleets and arm
les, risk it's own ports and property all
along the coast and take all the
chances of a precedent that might
bring about sometime the most dan
gerous international complications.
But it seems Spain is rather glad than
otherwise at the escape of the girl, and
surely all in this country are. Ac-
cordingly the Journal may rejoice AMI
be exceeding glad over what appears
to have been a very clever, daring
stroke. The fact remains, however,
that the people are not to be under
stood as comforting the power of de-
claring war or ratifying treaties on
any newspaper, however metropolitan
or sensational it may be. The case OF
Miss Cisneros has been, we are told
on the best of authority, greatly exag-
gerated, but be that as it may, every
American and lover of liberty is de-
lighted that she has secured her free
dom. The newspaper is welcome to all
the credit due SO long as no trouble re-
suits therefrom. Then it ought to be
made to take the consequences so far
chief latent in such enterprises, is that
the one claiming the credit for instigat-
ing it probably would escape the conse-
quences and innocent people would
have to bear them. While congratu-
lating the Journal on the success of its
enterprise it may be well to remark, re-
garding its boast that it is willing to
stand all the consequences, that it re-
minds one of the boast of the patriot"
who was willing to sacrifice all his
wife's relations in event OF war. So far
the Journal has risked only the dollars
required to hire the men who, it is
said, risked their lives in the success
full attempt. They are the ones to BE-
admired for daring and Indifference to
risk; the Journal for it's business en-
terprise, which undoubtedly is proving
very remuneratiVe.

One Of tbs Many KIondike Exps ditions.

A I<londike expedition with capital
OF $1,000 is being organized in Lewiston.
and will leave for the Yukon valley the
10Th of January. Among the promoters
of the scheme are Mr. Fred Chagnon and
Florian Desjardins. The plan is briefly
this: To purchase a schooner or steamer
in Portland. and put in supply of pro-
visions for five years. A supply of goods
for trading with the miners will also be
put in to help pay the cost OF the expedi-
ton. =

post of 800 will be demanded at this
meeting, or soon after, as security that
the persons present at the organization
and formation of tine expedition will go
Only men in good health. and capable of
standing the vigor of the northers ele-
ments will be admitted.
Nearly half the membership has now
been secured; and the most unique part
of the plan, considering that Lewiston is
an inland town. is that the ships crew
and captain will be made up from men
from this city. Mr.. Florian Desjardids is
an old sea captain and will probably COM
mand the vessel We have many sail
ors. Mr.. Jean Baptiste Rouilliard. edi-
paper. and an old miner and Canadian
mine inspector. will probably join the
party. Mr.. Ch:4ynon says that he expects
that the Lewiston expedition will round
Cape Horn and reach San Francisco be-
fore spring. and that Joe LeZotte will be
taken on. The plan is not to go to the
klondike the first year, but to prospect in
United States territory along the Yukon
district. Mr.. c. J. Stoddard of Greene.
and his son intend to go to Alaska next
spring. and will probably be invited to

Critics and Currency.

Some of the Washington cores
pondence assumes knowledge that tie
President will not advocate Immediate
ly aggressive effort for currency legis-
lation. Those who criticise him on his
assumption are compelled to admit
that there is no hope of any suitable
currency legislation passing the Sen-
ate and they say the President fears
that agitation of the question without
hope of passing anything more than a
mongrel measure of exceedingly doubt
full value would tend to disturb bust
ness resumption now so evident
throughout the country and retard the
en- what we have regained. Whether
the President really does take that
view is yet to be shown. One thing is
certain no such currency legislation as
this country needs can pass the Uni
ted States Senate as now made up
short of miracle.
Nor will the view of these critics.
that the matter should be agitated
whether or no, be accepted generally
without question. 1t will be remem-
bered that there was a vast amount of
gratuitous advice, from the same
source, after the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley to take up the currency ques-
tion and let the tariff alone. Nothing
short Of change in the currency
laws could prevent the withdrawal of
gold it was said and restore any de-
gree of confidence. Fortunately the
President and the leading men of the
Republican party took a different view
of the situation and not from even
those who proffered the advice do we
now hear criticism because it was not
followed. Confidence is returning.

Though the open season has lasted
hardly a week, there is already a great
change of sentiment regarding the
utility of the new guides license law.
Hotel keepers, railroad men, and old
hunters now believe that the law is
needed and that the commissioners
should enforce it by requiring every
guide to pass a rigid examination be-
fore he receives license The visiting
hunters are not qualified to judge when
pond or stream Is safe for nayiga-
ton. The guides are paid for knowing
such things" OF course, he does not
imply that Maine hasn't as many good
guides as ever. but that more have
gone into the business and obtained Ii
censes though lacking in the expert
ence and knowledge guides SHOULD
have.
