THEY HAD BAD LUCK.

Yesterday Henry Blandy was out on
begging tour and u'h"'' b. --'-'.si d
residence and failed to obtain the ''as-
sistance" he desired, he was abusive.
About noon he called at the home of
Police Lieutenant Supler, and told his
story. The Lieutenant called to him
from an upper window to wait a few
minutes, and then hurriedly dressed,
went down and escorted the fellow to
the City Hall. !
While the Lieutenant was absent on
this mission John Kelley called. John
was peddling quality of spectacles
sold in job lots at s1.35 per dozen, at
one dollar each. and was telling the
story that the specs" were solid gold
and that he had found them. Just as
he had finished his tale the Lieutenant
arrived on the scene, and Kelley fol-
lowed Blandy to the Lookup.
The Lieutenant remained I'D the rest
OF the day, looking for more callers.
but he waited in vain. His house is
now marked in chalk with an "X :"
which means don't stop"

TOM REED WAS JUDGE.
Not Over Legal Case But Jug of
Liquid Refreshment. =

Here is a story of Tom Rec l. as it is
LoIu Dy HIS tionor, the Judge 1t was
during session of the Maine legisla-
ture, of which both the Judge and d
man who is prominently identified
with the railroad interests of Maine
were members.
A country member had been availing
himself of the hospitality of the rail-
road mems party through the winter,
and had long been promising that he
was expecting a private supply of
liquid goods from Boston, and when
they came he was going to reciprocate.
But it got to be late in the session
and the reciprocation came not. One
day, when the crowd had gathered in
the room Of one of their number, boy
came UP inouiring for the country
member. There was a box for him,
come by express, and the boy wanted
TO know where to deliver it.
20, yes" said the railroad man 81
know all about that box. 1t is to be
delivered right here in this room. 1t
was left in my charge. Send it right
UP here"
The box came up and it was from
Boston. A whole lot of members, in
Guiding the judge, came in to see the
fun, and Tom Reed, who was I'D from
Portland, to look after the interest of
some measure that was before the
legislature was among the members.
Slowly the box was torn apart, re-
vealing a demijohn carefully packed
The mouths of those who occasionally
imbibed a little, in moderation, of
course, began to water. And then they
began TO guess what was in the jug
One afkBGeLt9rhat he knew the cap
tain's taste (the country member came
from a seaport town and was cOnse-
quently known as the captain) and felt
very sure that the contents of the demi-
john would prove to be good old ia
maica. Another was inclined to think
that it would be very superior ar
ticle of whisky. . Finally the jug was
opened, and some of its contents was
poured out into a glass. 1t came out
clear, sparkling and transparent.
Gin after ALL the party exclaimed
in chorus.
A little of the transparent liquid was
h~nded to Tom Reed to pass upon. The
future Speaker Of the National House
tasted, smacked his lips and tasted
again. Then he smiled.
What is it. Tom?" asked two or
three at once.
"A great many years ago" drawled
the coming Car, II drank some water.
And unless I've forgotten how that
water tasted. it's water and nothing
else in that jug"
And so it proved to be.-Bangor

MAKE LEE GOVERNOR

1t is said to be the intention of the
President when the war closes to make
Gen, James H. Wilson the military
governor of Cuba.
We trust the Presidents intention. if
he has any in this matter has been
wrongly surmised. That place of all
others belongs almost of right to Gen.
FitZhugh Lee.
1t is not at all necessary to recite the
services of Gen. Lee as Consul Cen
eral at Havana. Every enc knows of
them. For weeks he was the central
tlugure in the evtnts that preceded the
war. In the eyes of the American peo-
pie his conduct then was without a
flaw. He. served his country with
fidelity, earnestness and patriotism that
earned for him the profound admira-
ton of his countrymen ard the vindic-
tive hatred of the Spaniards-hatred
that manifested itself in the deliberate
slight put upon him by Blanco at the
time of his departure. He above all
others is the Americans whom the
Spaniards hate and the Cubans trust.
Fitzhugh Lee quilted Cuba amid
Spanish insult. He should return to the
island its military governor
Gen. Wilson, whose merits there is
no desire to disparage, may be an ex-
cellent officer and an administrator of
ability, but his claims are as nothing
compared to those of Gen. Lee.
The American people are fully aware
of these facts and President Mckinley
will make mistake if he appoints any
one but Lee to this post

HAWAIIAN SLAVE LABOR.

TIE annexation of Hawaii brings the
United States face to face once more
with the problem of slavery.
Annexation permits the sugar plant
ers of Hawaii to bring in without let
or hindrance the products OF peon
labor from Asia in direct competition
with the beet sugar industry and cane
sugar raising in the United States. In
discussing this matter the Boston Her.
aid says: 'In 1876 the islands were
exporting to the United States less than
20OOO 600 pounds of sugar. Under re-
mission of duties by the one-sided rec
iprocity treaty the imports have risen
to as much as 500.OO0,O00 pounds a
year. Senator Pettigrew, of South Da-
kota, finds that this just about equals
the consumption of sugar in all that
part of the United States lying west
of the Missouri river, including Texas.
and he further finds, after visit
to the islands, that the land there
available for sugar growing is far from
having been taken up, and that sugar
production is likely to increase from
two to four-fold in the near future.
He produces much evidence in support
of this view, and naturally inquiries
how the beet sugar industry is to live
in the western United States. where
the conditions are most favorable for
it," r.
Sugar produced by American flabor
can never compete in the same market
with the sugar raised by the coolie
labor of Hawaii,
And Hawaii has other products be-
sides Sugar. For example, in Hawaii
the weavers are slaves. How can the
splndles of New England, poorly paid
as the labor is that runs them, hope to
compete with the slave weavers of Ha-
wall?
The Republican party cIaIms Ap,a-
ham Lincoln, the great Liberator of
the slaves, as it's leader, yet more than
quarter of century since the eman-
cipation proclamation, it has placed
slave labor in open competition with
the free men of this country.
The Republican party is called upon
to explain this thing.

CHECKED Ely A SIGN.
Is this True Story of Freemasonry in
War Times?

Il saw a regiment of Sheridan'S cav
airy halted once by an old Virginian, who
had no arms in his hands, and who didn't
speak word" said Junius A. Cosby, the
giant sergeant of the Second district
police force. 1T was during the retreat
from Petersburg, in April, 1865, the day
tAore Gen. Lee surrendered. l had been
stationed here as a military telegraph
operator but just before Richmond was
evacuated L was ordered. to skcdaddie
and join the army.
Il was supposed to be close to Gen.
Lees headquarters on the retreat, but
considered myself mighty lucky to get
any place where l could keep a whole
skin and out of reach of Sheridan's cav
airy, that didn't give us any peace for an
hour at a time. 1t seems to me l was
generally with the wagon train, and
there the trouble was the hottest, for the
bluecoats would dash in, destroy a portion
of our wagons, and then have to get out
to escape the fire our cavalry and infan-
try would pour into them.
We were getting pretty well up the
country, marching and lighting all the
way, when one day about noon / was
goin git alone through a piece of wood
land, and came on a beautiful spring
just at the edge of a field. l had not
had a mouthful to eat, except corn,
sometimes parched and sometimes raw,
for about four days, so / followed the
path out into the open, thinking it would
lead to a house I wasn't mistaken, for
when l got to the edge of the woods I
saw a comfortable looking farmhouse
not far off | went up to the front gate
and into the yard. There was an old
gentleman on the porch, but before I
could speak his wife ran out crying the
Yankees were coming.
Il told them 1 wasn't a Yankee, but a
Confederate soldier, without meal for
four days, and wanted something to eat
/ was at once invited in, but before I
had a chance to sit down hardly, the old
man came in off the porch, exclaiming
the Yankees were coming up TO the
house. I saw through the front door
what looked like a regiment of Yankees
was coming along the road and up the
winding carriage road into the house.
You are my son. said the old man.
and l caught on in a minute. 1 wasn't
anything more than a boy, so 1 thought
l could work something of baby racket.
ran out ard hid under the woodpile my
telegraph instrument. which l carried,
slung over my shoulder, and then came
back and sat down near the old man on
the front porch. The old man started to
give me some directions about how
was to conduct myself. when he saw the
soldiers tearing down the fence along the
