The voters of Portland should not lose
sight of the fact TINT one of the most
important questions to be voted on Mon
day is the union of this city and Deering.
In the latter city the question has been SO
prominent that there is no danger of any
body forgetting 1T there. In Portland
the case has been different. For some
reason it appears to have excited only a
languid interest here. Notwithstanding its
Importance, and there is danger that the
vote upon it will be light. This ought
not to be So The matter is of too much
consequence to permit 1t to be settled one
way or another by default on the part OF
large number of voters. Everybody
ought to have an opinion about it and
express it at the polls.
The great argument for annexation from
the standpoint of Portland is that 1t vii!
increase our area and population, the
! former of which is now very restricted
and the latter about as large as is posi-
BILE in the present territory. We are not
our increase goes into Deering, and to
outsiders the city appears to be standing
still. This condition cannot but affect
us unfavorably. A growing city attracts
business, while city that appears to be
standing still is passed by. We may
know that in reality we are growing, but
the outsider sees the population reported
from year to year as about the same, and
his impression is formed from this, and
it is an impression which does Fus harm.
The only way to remedy this difficulty
is by the annexation of more territory
Such expressions of opinion as have
reached us have been very largely favor.
able to annexation, but we fear there is
good deal of apathy on the subject.
This ought.not to be SO.

1t appears from the despatch of our
Washington correspondent that there Is
Il prevalent impression in naval circles
that the explosion which destroyed the
Maine took place outside the ship and not
inside. This impression is believed to be
derived in large measure from conflden-
tial communications of officers who were
witnesses of the disaster, and who
have testified before the board of inquiry.
This state of facts is not without great
Significance If the belief among the
officers of the Maine is that she was blown
10 from the outside the presumption
is that there is something back of that be-
lief in the shape Of evidence to account
for it. We have !. been inclined to accept
the interior explosion theory, because
that seemed to be more in accord with the
probabilities. But the general belief
among eyewitnesses in the. outside ex-
plosion theory seems to indicate that
there is something better than probabili-
ties to draw inferences from-that there
are facts and tnat these facts point in
a different direction.

The despatch from Bethel concerning
tho Foster case shows apparently two
things: First, that the citizens of Bethel
inasmuch as they have signed petition
for his re-appointment with substantial
unanimity, and that, too, since the
charges against him were made public;
and, second, that his expulsion from
the cnurah was entirely without his
knowledge, he claiming never to have re-
rceived the summons alleged to have been
sent him. AS far as they go these facts
are in the Judges favor But the Judge
affidavit has the serious defect of being
silent on the main issue. Whether his
expulsion from the church WAS regular
or irregular. with or without his knowl-
edge, is at most collateral question; the
main issue is whether he is guilty or not
guilty Of the charges brought against
him, and on this his affidavit is silent.
It may be that he is to make statement
later which will cover this point-and
his affidavit would seem to point to
something of that kind-but until that
statement is forthcoming he will remain
in the position which he has occupied for
some weeks past of man publicly
charged by a responsible body of people
with gross immortality, and seeming to
assent to the truthfulness Of the allega-
ton by silence. While he continues to
occupy that position he can hardly expect
to be reappointed to the Supreme bench.

Probably all the trouble with Congress-
man Boutelle was that he refused to be-
come as hysterical as the correspondents
of the sensational newspapers wanted
him to be. That there could be any lack
of patriotism in him is impossible.

should desire to do so, could not restrain

A word as to marking the ballot. II q
voter wants to vote straight ticket, Re-
publican, Democratic or Prohibition, all
he has to do is to mark cross in the
square above one of these designations,
fold up his ballot and deposit it in the
box. If he wants to split ticket he
should first mark cross in the square
above the party designation of the tick
ct, the most of which he wishes to vote.
Then he should erase the name OF the
person he does not want to vote for by
| drawing line through it, and in the va
cant space underneath write the name OF
the person he does want to vote for. Or
instead of writing in the name he may
fill it in by means Of sticker, being sure
to put the sticker in the vacant space
and not over the erased name. 1t has
been suggested that voter might vote
the whole Republican or Democratic
ticket expect school committee, by placing
cross in the Republican or Democratic
So uare and erasing the name of the can
didate for school committee, and then
might vote for the non-partisan candi
date for school committee by placing q
cross in the square above the non parti-
san column. That would be an unsafe
way to, proceed, and the consequence
might be that the voter would lose his
vote entirely. The safe way to vote fol
the non-partisan candidates for school
committee is, after making the cross In
the Republican or Democratic square, te
erase the names of the party candidate
for school committee and write in or I'LL
| in by means of sticker the name of the
non partisan candidate in the vacant
SPACE below. The courts have been in
clined to construe the law very strictly
and to hold that it's letter must be fol
lowed. That being SO the voter had bet
| ter take no chances.

Lignator's explanation of the origin OF
the phrase is correct l was not quoting
history, nor desiring to plagiarize, so
gave credit to Byron. Nor did l wish to
bring in the Order of the Garter, as that
had arisen in a noble sentiment; it did not
suit my purpose, so used the motto in its
second sense. However, Byron in his
time, by reason of his splendid talents,
was admitted to Court, and on one occa-
sion, after having partaken of a dinner,
and being flushed with wine, committed
a great breach of etiquette, for which he
was reproved, by using the words in a
double meaning.
Reluctantly wrote the article in behalf
of the children whose parents do not seem
to exercise sufficient care TO save them
from modification, and from being ostra-
cized as If they were lepers. So. not to
give offense to such Indifferent people, !
used the quotation. If have opportunity
to procure a copy of Byron's biography in
which the incident is recorded, / will leave
it with the PRESS for Lignator's informa-
ton CESAR.

consents for his company from Newton
via Layton to Port Jervis. He informs us
that the people generally meet him with
decided show Of interest, and very little
difficulty is encountered in obtaining
right of way. He will be working Re-
tween Hainesville and Port Jervis this
week. As representative of a fair deal

for him kindly reception by the people
along this route.

day at the hotel of H. e. Montr0ss The
Boss threw his hard-earned victory to
the winds, and refused to qualify. John

urer at a salary $1,000 year. 1 believe
this is the first time Treasurer has re-
ceived a salary in Sandyston.
The foundation is being laid for an ad-
dition to the residence of DR.. Hughes. It
is the Doctors intention to fit 1t up as an
operating room. The present office will
come into use as a reception, or ante-room.
Men, like water usually gravitate to
their level. So the Boss got to high

gravitated to Committee this year and
next it will be Poormaster or Pound

rid Of him.
The horse sale ofP rice Bros at Branch

rise in the price Of horsehesh, and that
tendency is likelyAto continue for some
time to come.
The roads have so far been fairly good

The moving Of loads was impossible, and
traffic was almost suspended. The loss in

is greater than the cost would be to build
