respondent had the pleasure Of
attending Arbor day exercises
and the celebration of Washing
tons birthday by the Buforu
school on Wednesday, 22d instant.
The schoolhouse being too sma II
to accommodate the school and
a large audience, it had been ar.
ranged to have the oral exercises
performed in the commodlous
Baptist church nearby.
However, the teacher and pu.
pills met Jat the schoolhouse at
about $50 a. m, formed IN line
and with flags bearing the beau
tiful Stars and Stripes flying,
marched to the church.

which was beautifully decorated
with evergreens, pictures Of Geo.
and Martha Washington, Mount
Vernon, etc, the school was seat
ed to the right of the pulpit, the
larger ones taking the hindmost
seats, thus enabling the audience
to see all their faces.
The teacher, Prof. L. K. Th0mp-
sen, then gave an interesting talk
upon the origin and importance
of Arbor day. and after paying a
glowing tribute to the herOis m
and beautiful character Of Wash
ington, he admonished the youth
to try to initiate his greatness
"lf we cannot be as great, we can
be "a good"
After prayer by Brother f. B.
Lingle, the exercises, which bore
directly upon Arbor day, were
begun. 1t would require too
much space to give the programme
in full, which consisted of manv
beautiful songs and recItatlons.
The pupils then marched back
to the schonlhouse yard. and after
singing another beautiful song
entitled, The Flowers of the
Grove the larger boys, assisted
by some Of the older men Of the
community, set ont a row Of trees

In a few minutes the cadets

the RECEPTION of the cadets was
without hitch and every detail
was carried out As had been origi-

DIR. +. Il. CLARK ON CUBA.

Rev. DR.. +. X. Clark, president of
the Christian Endeavor Society, has just
returned from a trip to the West Indies.
He spent several days ut Santiago and
Havana and had interviews with Gen.
Wood in command In Santiago province,
and Gen. Brooke, the comman der Of the
whole Island. DIR. Clarke's,, report Of
the condition of things in Cuba is very
favorable. In the province of Santiago a
wonderful change has been wrought under
Gen. Woods management. Destitution
has been relieved TO u very large extent,
and very few men are out of work.
Sanitary conditions have also been great.
ly improved. But really the political ad-
vance is most marked When Gen. Wood
first took command the bills that wers
rendered to him by officials were twice
the amounts they should have been-a
continuance of the practice that had prs-
vailed under the Spsniards. Gen. Wood
impressed it upon them tn at honest re-
turns would be required of them, and
there had been complete change, bills
now being rendered for the proper amount.
The local officials were doing well, and
the conditions in Santiago were in great
part thoroughly satisfactory to the people.
Outside of Santiago the situation was
not SO favorable, IA great deal of destitu-
tion prevailing which called for relief. DR..
Clark believes that the Cubans are pro-
crossing satisfactorily in the direction OF
self government, and he declares himself
unreservedly In favor of their independ
ence, saying that they had already demon
strated their capacity for it. He
said that many of the volunteers had be-
haved outrageously in Cuba, and he
deemed it fortunate both for the island
and the United States that they were to
be Withdrawn and regulars substituted
who were more amenable to discipline
Asked If he thought the Philippines
should be pla,ed upon the same basis as
Cuba he replied in the affirmative.

Gensral Shafter endorses the unpleasant
opinion of General Lswton that hundred
thousand soldiers will be required to
subdue the Filipinos. Both generals will
proba bly, suffer in public estimation for
making an estimate so much at variance
with the wishes and expectations of the
puplic The case of General Sherman is
an instance in point. In 1861, when in
command at Camp Robert Anderson, in
Kentucky he declared that sixty thousand
men were required to drive the Confed-
crates out of the State. and 200,0 men
would be required to put an end to the
struggle in that region. The public then
did not DO General Sherman the credit of
even criticising his Judgment; but
promptly believed that he was crazy
man. This incident seriously troubled
Sherman at the time, aud made deep
impression upon him, as his autobiogra-
ply testifies.

DEMOCRATS"
(From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Colonel Bryan is in a forgiving mood.
He is willing that the Democrats who de-
serted their party in 1896 shall be well
coined back, providing they will admit
their error and subscribe TO the Chicago
platform. ITO err" said the Colonel. in
his usual top-loftioal vein, SIS human
and thos, who erred in 1896 have only to
admit 1t and subscribe to the party creed
in order to be taken back into the party"
Only those who demand the surrender of
the Chicago platform ard who return
for the purpose of opposing its reaffirma-
tion are not wanted.
Colonel Bryan polled over six million
votes when he ran for President, and 1t
was magnificent run. but he was over
half a million votes behind Mckinley.
The tone of infallibility underlying his
latest pronunciamento would lead one to
suppose that everyone who voted for Nc
kinleJ or who did not vote for the silver
candidate was an errorist OF the most
pronounced type. If that be true there is
plenty of evidence to indicate that
errorism IL growing in the United states.
Out West the Democrats who did not vote
for the colonel are showing a marked re.
luctance TO confess their sins and be for
given.

cation Of sorae Of the people Of Boston,
who felt that the men elected to the city
government were incapable or unwilling
to govern properly. hut IL seems 60 have
been found that the State legislature also
Is incapable Of governing Boston. Ex-
Mayor Thomas N. Hart says the trouble
Is that the responsibility rests ON nobody.
The trouble has been not with the legis-
lature alone. IL lies also In the general
extravaganza of the times and with the
people of the city themselves. Public
opinion should be aroused not only in
relation to the debt OF the city Of Boston
but also to the debt of the state and of
almost every town and city in the state
The remedy was a return to home govern
ment. They had gone too much to the
Legislature. and there were $50 acts reiat-
ing to the city Of Boston. Mr.. Hart be-
lieved that they should go back and re-
store to the aldermen and and council
men the power they had previous to 1885.
As a general thing there Is enough Of
fairly good citizenship in almost any city
to keep its government fairly good in the
long run. The city Of Biddeford In this
State, affords an example. For years the
prey of bad government, the citizens
finally aroused themselves and perfected
an organization which has been able sue
cessfully to defy both the old parties.
Biddeford is getting now far better
government than formerly. 1t is not an
angelic government sucn as might be
obtained by an admin istration free from
human failings; but We venture to say
that it is far better government than the
Maine legislature could give BiddeIord.

1t seems hardly possible that the stories
of cruelty that some of the soldiers In the
Philippines are telling in their letters
home can re true. 1t looks as If their writ
ers must be romancing, though what their
purpose, it is difficult to imagine. Here
is soldier of western regiment saying
that they were taking no prisoners,
and were shooting all that fell
into their hands, women and child
rem as well as men and doing this
by orders. Ii Is unbelievable that
any American officer ever gave
directly or indirectly any such order as
that. If anything of the kind has &C.
Cured, 1t must have been due to the
brutality of some particular soldier or
band of soldiers We can understand how
in the excitement, soldiers might pillage
and destroy property, but that they would
kill women and children Is incredible.
unless the women and childr en- are fight
ing, and this does not seem to be alleged
in letters referred to. For the good name
II the army the censorship now applied
to press dispatches had better be extend

Mr.. Thomas G. Shaw, of Standish,
has record of the disappearance of the
Ice from Sebago Lake for many Of the
years since 1907. 1t has gone out four
teen times in May and forty one times in
April. As there are thirty-:ix years
dropped out of the record, 1t can hardly
be conclusive as to any general rule
Since 1871 the date for each year has been
kept, however, and in that time the ice
has gone nineteen times in April and
nine times in May. In 1892, 1878 and 1899
the ice went as early as April IL. In
1907 the date was as late as May Z, and in
1888 it was May s. From present appear
ances this will be very late season, and
the salmon fishers must have patience.
