There is another good story afloat IN
which Hon. Edward Wiggin figures as
the man who is absent minded. 1t was
only last summer that he was obliged
to go to his home in ,Maysville on ac-
count of illness. He arrived at Presque
Isle and having a little business t.
transact, left the overcoat in friend s
store. He went home forgetting the
coat, where he was i'll two weeks. 1t
was warm weather SO that he did not
need the coat and he returned to Au-
gusta without it. Before leaving
Maysville he looked for the coat and
thought he had not brought it to the
place with him. Several weeks later
he wanted the coat, and invent to the
place where he was accustomed to keep
it and it was not there Then and not
till then did he remember that he had
left it in the friends store in Pressure
Isle. He wrote to his family and had
them send it, but even then the
State Grange We're not over. 1t nap
pens that the educational department
was at that time receiving the returns
for the State examinations for teach
eres' and every day brought in small
packages from the express Office. The
coat arrived in a package like one Of
these and Mr.. Wiggin did not examine
the package. That same day one of
the State House employees packed Il
large case of these returns, and sent
them to the gentleman who is correct
ing them. In the lot he placed this
coat.
Mr. Wiggin waited as patiently as
possible for the missing coat then he
telegraphed for it and received the
reply that it had been sent day before.
The express office was visited, and aa
found that he had receipted for the
package the day after the family said
they had sent it, but what had become
of it was the question. All was ex-
planned when it arrived from the cor
rector of the teachers returns, who
said it was in the box sent him.
Mr. Wiggin now looks at the coat
three times each day when not wear
ing it, that he may remember where it
is when he needs it.

THE DAWN OF PEACE.

At thIs time it looks as if the
cessation OF hostilities with Spain
is { matter of only a few days.
Terms of peace have been offered to
Spain at her own solicitation aud
an answer is expected Very short
ly. This means that the Spanish
power shall be forever ended in
the western hemisphere, that Por-
10 Rico shall be ours, aud that we
are to have coaling stations in the
Philippine Islands. The disposi-
ton of thsse islands is as yet un-
determined, and is one Of a good
many puzzling questions to be
settled by the United States Gov
'ernment. Taking everything in
consideration, the conditions of
peace offered TO Spain are rather
light--more so, some may think,
than she derserves. We think,
however that the United States is
in o position to be magnamimous.
After a brilliant series of uninter-
rupted successes in a campaign OF
three months, with comparatively
little loss, our government can af-
ford to do the handsome thing in
responding to Spain's overturcs
of peace.
The golden rule applies to ma
tions as we'll as to individuals, and
in the present condition OF Spain>s
finances it would be hard TO de-
mand a heavy indemnity from her.
Her fleets destroyed, her armies
shattered and her credit gone, what
more piteous spetacle.of humiliat-
ed pride could we wish! The OBJ
jects Of the war have been accom-
plished AID there seems to be no
just cause for prolonging the strife.
