Maine Veterans Volunteer.

Warren Post, &c, G. A. R., of Winterport
took vote at its last meeting to see how
many of the veterans present were willing
to go to the front and help fight Spain. No
sooner had the commander mentioned the
idea than every man present leaped to his
feet and volunteered. Some of these were
feeble with years and others were lame. but
not a man held back.
At meeting of James E. Hall Post, G. A.
R., of Bucksport, held March 18th, amid the
greatest enthusiasm and with unanimous
rising vote, the post voted to offer their SER
vices to the United States government in
the coast defence department in case of war
with Spain. The post contains many men
with splendid war records, men that have
been in actual and continual service, and
who would not have to learn the art of war.
Gen. /. S. Bangs of Waterville some time
age sent out to the Grand Army posts of
Maine an invitation to join him in the re-
cruiting of a regiment of heavy artillery for
an emergency, should war ensue with Spain.
Several posts responded to the generals call
and now he has sent letter to Governor
Powers to be forwarded to the President of
the United States, rendering the services of
a regiment of heavy artillery for coast de-
fence, if such regiment should be needed
by the general government. The regiment
is to be recruited from the members of the
Maine G.. A. R., who saw service in that
particular arm of the service during the war
of the rebellion.

BELFAST Boy
Seattle, March 10, 1898.
No doubt Seattle will welcome all who
come to her with a dollar in their pocket;
but we doubt if even the assurance of such
a welcome will induce very large propor-
ton of the people of Waldo county to leave
their comfortable homes to face the perils
and uncertainties which attend gold-seeking
in laska. Even now the tide is turning.
VIM. Moses of South Portland has returned
nome after going as far as Seattle. 1t did
not take him long to conclude that his
chances of getting rich We're better in Port
land than they would be in Dawson CITY.
Harry Pike, Westbrook young man who
started for the Klondike, has also returned
home, Mr.. Pike said that he became dis
eartened because of the stories of sickness
and suffering in the Klondike, and decided
that residence in the east was preferable,
and so retraced his steps toward Maine A
party of four young Swedes left Gloucester
three weeks ago for Seattle with Klondike
their objective point and three of them re-
turned last week. The Cape Ann Adver-
tiser says
They report the outlook at Seattle as very
dlscouraging. Every train is bringing in
hundreds bound to Klondike, and while the
hotel proprietors and business men are reap
ing harvest, the prospective miners are
having hard time to get the means of sub
sistence until the start for the gold fields can
be made. Added to this, the reports from
Klondike at that place are anything but en-.
couraging. One returned miner whom our
Gloucester party fell in with stated that he
had been for year and half at the gold
fields and had not earned his grub while
there. After remaining at Seattle little
over a week they decided that the outlook
was too discouraging and one concluded to
go to San Francisco in search of work while
the others started for home. They think
they can make better living here than ia
the Klondike regions.

At a recent meeting of The Cosmopolitan
Club of Portland Frank Fl. Colley, ESQ, de-.
livered an address on home and foreign poll
tics. The speaker briefly reviewed the nine
teenth century, calling attention to its brill
liant inventions, its social and political as
poets. He next dwelt upon consolidation
which he said was potent in business and
politics and had revolutionized the whole
system of production. He next pointed ont
the dangers of municipal mis-government
cooperative greed, trusts and the tyranny
of labor. After touching upon the relations
of the United States with the East and the
great powers, he dwelt at length on our
graver troubles with Spain. In closing he
said, "Let us hope that war may never
come, but should it come to this fair land of
ours, | believe that the spirit of rs and s'61
still lives in the posterity OF the actors in
the scenes OF those stirring days, and it
needs only the trumpet call of war to rouse
to action the millions of American manhood,
who are the bulwarks of our nation and in
whose hands is her destiny for veal or woe.
But whatever may by the final outcome of
IT all, let us wait patiently, and in what
ever may follow it is our personal duty to be
true to ourselves, our country and our God

of his dialect poems, by request, including
one, entitled THE Band we had at Home"

and will add to Mr.. Colley's growing fame

The Cubans should be permitted, if
they can, to establish their independence
by forcing the withdrawal of Spain from
$heir island, but SO far as we are concern
ed, we should grant to them no greater
or more definite recognition in the future
than we have accorded to them in The past.
Boston Herald
This would be cowardly evasion of
our responsibility, says the New Hampshire
Statesman. Spain has already acknowI-
edged our right of intervention by with
drawing General Weyler from the COM
mand of the Spanish troops in the island,
by revcking many of his cruel orders,
and by permitting us to send relief
10 the starving Cubans who are not in
arms. Her ministry has even gone fur
Their ard asked this government to delay
its action according the insurgents bel
ligerent rights or acknowledging their
independence until this ministry could
submit to the Cubans a plan of autonomy
which it urged might bring peace to
the island The Herald says, Both
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Mckinley per-
mitted it to be understood that, unless
the Instruction was put down within a
certain time, Intervention on the part of
the United States might be expected"
The only question, therefore, was when
the United States would be justified in
Intervening to put an end to the war and
bring peace to the island. The PROPOSE
ton of the Herald that this government
do nothing and permit the Spaniards to
complete their work of devastation in
Cuba is an entirely new proposition and
not in accord with the traditions or the
sentiments of the American people.
War is to be avoided, il possible, but
peace can be purchased at such price as
to make it infamous. The whole civilized
world recognizes our exclusive right be-
cause of the proximity of Cuba to our
shores to intervene to put an end to war
which has been conducted on as barbar-
GUS scale as ever disgraced the Four
teenth century The plan of the Herald
is in substance for us to abandon all that
we have done and say to Spain and the
'Cubans, "Settle your troubles in your
own way; we now wash our hands of all
responsibility.

The Madrid paper which says that
Spain could carry on a guerrilla war
against the United States for years, as
she did against Napoleon early in the cen
fury, has st1ange ideas as to the conditions
which would confront Spain in this case,
says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat. After
being driven out of Cuba and Porto Rico,
as she would within q few months of the
opening of hostilites, the only chance
she would have of fighting would be upon
the water, and with those islands gone
her coal supply on this side of the Allan
tic would be cut off. Spanish ships which
would ''coal-up'' in Spain and then come
over here to fight won d never get home.

the back with poinards and the other
methods Of assassnat on by which the
SSpaniards fought the French invaders
would be rather difficult to repeat in war

The Spanish and Cuban questions are
still unsettled, but are likely to reach a
crisis this week. The report of the board
of enquiry on the Maine disaster is expect
ed at Washington to-day. 1t will no
doubt say that the Maine was destroyed
by an external explosion, while it is
thought that the Spanish officials will de-
clare that the explosion was internal and
disclaim responsibility. Then Spain may,
TO cause delay, propose arbitration. The
President is said to wish to have this
matter considered apart from recognition
or intervention in Cuba, and there is a
growing feeling that this country must
soon, at any cost, interfere in behalf of
the suffering Cubans. The temper of
Congress is decidedly warlike, and pre-
parations for war go Oh apace.

Miss Lucy A. Thorndike died at her resi-
dence in Camden, Sunday morning, March
IS, 1898, aged 81 years, months and 10 days.
She was the third daughter of the late Eben
and Mary Thorndike and was born on the
old homestead now owned by her brother,
Eben Thorndike. When quite young she
adopted the profession of a school teacher
and taught public and private schools for a
period of over sixty years. She was an ex-
cellent teacher and was held in high esteem
by all who enjoyed her instruction. She
was fond of history and general literature
and her retentive memory enabled her to
recall easily historic events and characters.
Among her efforts for education she took an
active part many years ago in establishing
the Ladies' Library at Rockport. She was
woman of kindly disposition, genial and
interesting in conversation and as a cores
pondent. During her last illness she was
patient, and warmly appreciated the care
and kindness of relatives and friends. She
was of cheerful disposition, looking on the
bright side of things. She frequently said
Winters poem entitled "The Eternal Good
ness contained her religious creed, and
often quoted this verse as especially eX-

"And so beside the silent SEA,

No harm from him can come to me
On ocean on shore.''
Funeral services were held Tuesday after

Frank II. e rlndle dled at his home in
Bucksport March 10Th of la grippe, aged
80 years. 1t is said of him that his life was
one of spotless moral character, of strictest
integrity and a model of business principles
and good citizenship. Bucksport has suffer-
ed an irreparable loss in many respects, a
loss that will be more and more apparent,
for no one can yet begin to realize that the
form so familiar to all has gone from sight
forever. The deceased was the son of Capt.
William Grindle, and has always resided in
Bucksport. His father, two brothers, Albert
and Irving, and his sister, Mrs. Charles
Smith of Brockton, Mass, survive of the
family. Some - years ago he married
Orilla Grant of Stockton, who with Earl,
their 11-years. old son, are left desolate in
deed one of Bucksport's happiest homes.
But few weeks before his death, he, his
wife and son, confessed their faith in the
tenets of the Congregational church and
were admitted to membership in the Elm
street church society. Mr.. Grindle was
member of Fort Knox lodge, 1. o. o. F., and
Riv erview Rebekah lodge and also financial
secretary of Knowlton lodge. N. E. o. 2.
He was valued member of these bodies, in
which he took lively interest and in whose
circles he will be greatly missed.
