CANNOT HOLD TWO OFFICES.
Civil Officers Must Resign When They
Become Army Officers.


An interesting question has arisen in
connection with Col. Burgwyn's appoint
ment to a military command in the
volunteer army. while still holding . FED
eral position. such as National bank eX-
aminer. The judicial authorities of the
War Department say that when a per-
son holding civil office returns to the du-
ties thereof after having been sworn in
to the military service ne ceases to b,,
an officer of the army. They base their
contention on Section ,222 of the Re
vised Statutes, which reads as follows:
mo officer of the army shall hold civil
office whether by election or appoint
ment and every such officer who accepts
or exercises the functions of civil office
shall thereby cease to be an officer or
the army and his commission shall be
thereby vacated"
The purpose of this act is to make the
military always subordinate to the civil
branch of the government, which is the
custom generally among the English
speaking people.
Persons holding offices in the States
cannot hold official positions i'm the vol
unteer army. although there is nothing
to prevent their enlistments as privates.
who in the general acceptance Of the
term are not regarded as officers.

MISS JOHNSON SERIOUSLY HURT
A Horse Wrecks Her Bicycle and Then
Fails On Her


There came near being a fatal acct
dent, if indeed it does not yet result
fatally, near the Hillsboro street bridge
at 40 O'Clock last night
Miss Evie Johnson, Il young lady en-
ployed at the Telephone Exchange, was
coming toward the city on her bicycle.
In an opposite direction was coming a
man driving rapidly.
1t is not known certainly just how 1t
happened, hut it is said that just as he
met Miss Johnson he looked back, and
it is thought, by mistake, pulled the
wrong line. turning the horse upon the
young lady.
Anyway there was terrific collision,
the bicycle was wrecked and the horse
thrown down, falling on Miss Johnson.
She was picked up unconscious and tax
on to the home of Mr.. D. T. Johnson.
where i was found that she was Sc
riousy hurt, though no bones were
broken.
Drs. Mckee and McGeachy. who were
summoned, expressed the belief that no
internal injuries had been sustained and
that with quiet and careful nursing Miss
johnson would soon recover.
AT midnight last night she had regained
consciousness and was resting easily.
1T is not known who the occupant of
the buggy was.

The Republicans of old Kennebec are
to be congratulated upon the large and
enthusiastic convention held in this
city, yesterday. Although there We're
no contests on hand the intense in
tcrest felt by kennebec Republicans in
the great issues of the day was mani
fest by the attendance Of 1876 out of 1856
delegates. Harmony pervaded the con
vcntion there were no fractional fights
to settle, no CULTS to bridge. All present
were loyal Republicans, devoted to the
welfare of the party, and pledged to
promote its success in the future as IN
the past.
The acts of the convention We're an
unqualified and well deserved indorse-
ment Of the present national, State
and county administrations. In nearly
every instance the present efficient in
cumbents of the various county offices
were again named for the position.
The denominations were not only in
accordance With party usage, but were
deserved by the ability and efficiency
of the officials. Hon. Martin l.. Rey-
nolds of Sidney, having served as SEN
ator two terms was not candidate for
nomination, and Hon. p. O. Vickery
of Augusta, was unanimously nomi-
mated to succeed him. John a. Spear
Of West Gardiner, was nominated as
successor to County Commissioner
Smith, who has served the usual term
of six years. The new nominees, as
Well as those honorcd with renomna-
tons, We're wisely chosen. They ara
representative Republicans, men of eX-
perience in public life, men of proved
ability and unquestioned integrity.
and they viii perform the duties of
their respective offices with the fidelity
characteristic of kennebec Republi-
cans. The campaign of '9S will not be
long or exciting. but the Republicans
of Kennebcc can be counted on to do
their full duty and To handsomely in
dorse the action of yesterdays con-
ventiOn.

During the War of the Rebellion so
many American vessels were placed
under foreign registry that the mer-
chant marine of this country was prac-
tically destroyed, and. with the eXccp-
ton of the coastwise trade it has
never revived. In the present war We
have not heard of any American YES
sells placing themselves under foreign
flags, but quite a number have sought
and been granted American registry.
These have been chartered for the
transportation of troops by the govern
ment, which thus has to go abroad for
vessels which cannot be had at home.
If the contemplation Of this state of
things shall lead Congress to enact
more liberal shipping laws and thus
build up an American navy and save
to this country the many millions of
dollars now annually paid to foreign
ship owners to carry our goods for us,
the war Will not have been fought in
vain In fact, it may prove to be. in
spite Of its great cost, an economical
proceeding.
