back To 1899, when John Goodwin

marriage married into the families
of the Higginbothams, Hurts, Cecils,

DEPUTY MARSHAL NORTON.

Mr.. Bernes o. Norton of Belfast who
has recently been appointed deputy
United States marshal for Maine, was in
Portland Wednesday, where he qualified
before the United States court Mr..
Norton is young man about 80 years of
age and a son of Mr.. S. G. Norton the
nresent sheriff of Waldo county. Mr..
Norton is well qualified for the position
and it may be said of him that he inher-
tied his fitness for public position. He
belongs to family OF sheriffs. Minor
toms grandfather, Mr.. Samuel Norton
of Palermo, was deputy sheriff for 81
wears. In 1874 he was elected sheriff of
Waldo county, and held the office six
years. Mr.. S. G. Norton, son Of Samuel,
and the father of the deputy marshal,
was deputy sheriff for eight years and
is the present sheriff of Waldo county,
serving his second term. Mr.. B. o. Nor
ton has also been deputy sheriff and at
present is city marshal of Belfast. One
thing can be said of the Norton family
they are all ardent Republicans, hard
workers and have made honest and eff
Gent officials. The marshal has been
fortunate in his appointment of deputy.

The newspapers of South Carolina are
quite generally denouncing the Lake
City outrage, and the citizens of neigh
boring towns are resolving upon the sub
ject in spirit and language that are
very commendable. 1t is unfortunately
true, however, that this murder would
never have been committed had the press
and the decent people of South
Carolina in the past treated the
negro as a human being, whose
rights were as sacred, and whose
life and liberty were as much within the
protection of the law as those of the
white man. The murder is the natural
outcome of their past teachings by word S
and acts. If they would bring forth
works meet for repentance let them fer
ret out the authors Of the bloody deed
and punish them as they would if the
victim had been white man. Resolu-
tions are good in their way but they fall
far short of what Is needed in this case.

Mr.. Ingraham is said to be making
quite as active q personal canvass for
the election as he made for the nomipa-
ton. Of course he is moved solely by a
patriotic desire to confer benefits upon
his fellow citizens. He is sort of mis-
sionary laboring for the salvation of his
fellow men, and no doubt his heart is
often wrung with anguish at their obdu-
racy in resistingShis appeals to partake of
the blessings which he offers them.

General elections for members Of the
Cortes take place in Spain next month.
AS a rule popular elections in Spain are
little more than farce, the government
always being practically sure of ma
jority. There is posi- bility that in this
case there may be more Of a contest, ON
account Of the activity of Weyler and his
supporters and their intense hostility to
the government and its autonomy plans.
If the government should be defeated of
course Sagasta would Immediately resign,
and we should have an end of the attempt
to set up an autonomous policy, and re-
turn perhaps to Weylerism.

The war excitement having sub
sided to large degree, some means
to revive it must be found, so it is
declared In "scare" headlines that our
ultimatum to Spain expired on March l..
An ultimatum is the last word, and the
next thing is generally war. 1t is rath-
er curious, however, that this ultimatum
should have never been heard of until it
had expired. AS described by the "hust-
ling Journalists who have discovered it,
it appears to have been solem warning
to Spain that unless she put an end to
the war in Cuba on March first and es-
tablisned autonomy, we should intervene.
There have been great many debates in
Congress on the Cuban question of late,
but never in one of them has it been init
mated even that we had submitted this
or any other ultimatum to Spain. If it
be true that one has been submitted,
then Congress and the people have been
kept in the dark, and in the deceit prac-
ticed Billy Mason may find theme for
some more of his lurid eloquenoe.

Our esteemed morning contemporary is
giving SO much of it's space to Alderman
Rounds and so little to that guileless
friend of tie plain people, the Hon. Da-
RUS Fl. Ingraham, that sense OF pity
leads us to give the latter lift. Mr..
Ingraharu's services to his country and his
city have been distinguished, and they
ought not to be ignored. During his
administration of city affairs our park
menagerie was enlarged to the extent of
one monkey, chiefly through his munii-
cence The receipts from the Agency were
never so large as when it was run under
his auspices, while at the same time
there was no nota BILE lowering of the av-
erage OF the public health. The plain
people, were always welcome at the City
Building when he was Mayor, SO well
come that n good many of them spent
their days there and part of their nights,
full of patriotic ardor to serve the city in
some of the offices with salary at
tached. But the browning glory, the
consummate flowers, so to speak, of his ad.
ministration, was the reform introduced
into the method of conducting elections,
by which only one party was allowed to be
represented in the counting of the votes,
thus doing away withEall possibility of
dispute. Mr.. Rounds has been something
of reformer himself, but none Of the
reforms he introduced into Ward has
been at all comparable in simplicity and
effectiveness to that put in force in Ward
One under the Ingraham regime. Mr..
Rounds has always regarded it as essen
tial to have as many votes thrown as
were counted, but under the reform plan
adopted at the close of the Ingraham ad-
ministration there need be no agreement
between the count and the number of
votes thrown into the ballot box. We
would not assert that Mr.. Ingraham Is a
greater man than Mr.. Rounds, for if we
accent the Argus's estimation of the lat
ter 1t is practically impossible to go be-
yond him. But we are inclined to be gen
erous, and therefore to place him on an
equality of greatness with Mr.. Rounds
This is high praise indeed, for the Argus
has placed Mr.. Rounds on a very lofty
pinnacle, while it has been able to say

If Mr.. Elkins had brought the matter

If Mr. Elkins had brought the matter
OF the competition of Canadian railroads
up in the Senate last winter openly, as
he is now, and advocated such legisla-
ton as was contained or thought to be
contained in clause 20 of the tariff law,
the country would have had an opportu-
nifty to express its opinion and make it's
wishes known in the matter. But that
was not the way it was done at the last
session. The advocates of the abrogation
of the bonding privileges, instead OF pre-
senting their case openly, and taking the
Judgment of Congress and the people
upon ii, sought TO accomplish their pur-
pose by smuggling into the tariff bill q
clause, the full meaning of which was
not understood by the people and was
not explained to them. The wisdom and
propriety of their purpose there may be
different opinions about, but as to the
method they took to accomplish IL there
can be but one opinion and that adverse.
