Strange Newspapers.

THE HERALD is in receipt of a copy of
the London (Engl Daily Mail of Nov. s,
through the courtesy of Joe Martin. 1t
is out of the ordinary, of course, and con-
tains but little OF interest to the average
American. Large space is devoted to
Kipling's poem, absent Minded Beg
gar" which has caused a great iurore in
England anent the Boer war. The Daily
Mail sold art copies Of the poem IN fac
simile handwriting of the author for the
benefit OF wives and children of English
soldiers and sailors in South Africa. The
Unprecedented sum OF $1,000. or $2j coo,
was thus raised in few days. One sub
scrib er sent 100 guineas for single copy.
Another interesting contribution to the
fund was woman's diamond engage
ment ring. 4 local news item records
the sale of a second folio Shakespeare
printed in 1852 for el0l.
1t will interest Yakima Scotchmen to
note this item from the Mail:

Another curious newspaper item was
found in the Hartford Courant, at the
Hotel Yakima the other day. The Cour-
ant was established some years before the
Revolution. A subscriber brought to
the office a copy dated abou. So years
ago. Local mention is made of two now
famous insurance companies, the Hart
ford and 4Etna. The secretary of one of
the companies stated to the public that
thereafter there would be no complaint
of his carrying the Office around with
him, but his place of business would be
open six days in the week during bust
ness hours. The Hartford modestly re-

The Llquor-Company System in Nor
way.

Precisely how one of these companies
operates may be indicated by single il
lustration. Bergen is a city of "a, 900 in
habitants, with a great fishing business
and a considerable foreign trade. If to
the commerce of Portland, Maine, we
should add the fisheries of Gloucester,
Massachusetts, the social conditions along
the docks Of Bergen would be about rep
resented. In an American town of this
character we should have either licensed
saloons up to the legal limit of number,
with every possible solicitation to drink
and every kind of disorder, or else we
should have an attempt at Prohibition,
with the brazen defiance Of law and the
fiery authorizations of liquor which are to
be found along the wharves Of Portland.
In Bergen there are nine saloons and four
wholesale depots. The company has
capital OF 500, 900, in four hundred shares,
held by two hundred and thirty seven
stockholders Among these are many of
the leading citizens, bankers, consuls,
teachers, a Member of Parliament, and
ten women. 1t is not only a part of pub
lie spirit to take stock in the company,
but the shareholder has also some part in
determining to what form of charity the
profits shall 60
The Bergen Company happens to be
among the most limited in its scope of
operations. 1t deals with the distilled
| liquor business only; and it makes no
| attempt to provide in it's saloons any
element of sociability or agreeableness.
| When one enters a Company retail shop
in Bergen he finds it place of the most
cheerless and repellent character. There
are no tables or chairs or announcements
for idlers, but simply counters provided
with the small glasses of the Company,
measured, like an apothecary's for the
| exact dose A customer enters, drinks
his thimbleful, as if of medicine, and at
once withdraws. Instead of solicitation
here is the barest permission. The bust
ness is conducted, as it were, under pro-
test; and nothing but the most resolute
determination to drink-a determination
which no prohibitory law would be able
to frustrate-seems likely to draw one
into these inhospitable dispensaries. On
the walls are various deterrent notices
like the following: ''No credit mo
loating;;' "No disorderly conduct:'' mo
sale to an intoxicated person." The
regulations set forth that it is the duty of
the superintendent not to encourage, but
to check, excessive drinking. No liquor
can be sold to minors. The saloons are
open from Sto y in the morning and from
| l 80 to in the afternoon. On Sundays
and holidays they close at p. m. That
is to say, the sale stops just when an
American bar begins it's best business; and
the prohibition which could not be OBJ
| tanned outright is obtained for every even
ing and every non working-day. Except

of brandy. [Prof. F. G. Peabody in the

Hospital Resolve.

A resolve in favor of an appropriation of
1921, 600 for the Eastern Maine Insane
Hospital was introduced in the Senate
Tuesday by Senator Plummer of Dexter.
The resolve was accompanied by very
clear statement of fact that should app cal
to the sober judgment of the members 1t
is estimated that the appropriation will
provide accommodations for two hundred
patients. These accommodations are sad

Senator Hoar's Speech.

Mr.. Hoar admits that the United States
may acquire outlying territory for pur-
poses of national security and defence
even though such territory is not to come
into the Union as a State, but he SAYS it is
not now proposed to acquire or own prop
erty in the Philippines with dominion as
a necessary incident "You are not to
own foot of land there You propose
now to acquire dominion and legislative
power and nothing else. Where in the
constitution he triumphantly asks, sis
the grant of power to exercise sovereign
ty Where you have no property" Mr..
Hoar cannot have read carefully the treaty
with Spain, the official text of which has
been published. He would have seen by,
that that Spain cedes to the United States
lin the Philippine archipelago, all the
buildings, wharves, barracks, forts,
structures, public highways and other i'm
movable property which, in conformity
with law, belong to the public domain,
and as such belong to the crown of Spain.''
There is good deal of property in that
Whether it falls to the United States
depends of course on the ratification of
the treaty, but in any event he is a bold
prophet who predicts that the United
States will ever give up Cavite and a naval
and coaling station in the Philippines.
Portland Advertiser.
1t was great speech, an able speech,
so they all say; but, as the Advertiser
shows, Mr.. Hoar did not know what he
was talking about. He is opposing the
ratification Of a treaty while ignorant of
its provisions. But Senator Hoar does
not occupy this position alone There
are Others
The Boston Herald thus exposes Mr..
Hears Inconsistency:
1t can hardly have escaped attention in
reading Senator Hoar's fervent appeal for
the sustaining of the principles of the
Declaration of independence, that he him
self has already been among those to vio-
late these principles, according to his
own Interpretation of the immortal docu-
ment. He did it in his vote to annex
Hawaii to this country. All that he says
about annexing the people of the Philip
pine islands, and at the same time deny
ing them the rights of citizenship will
apply with equal force to the annexation
OF the Sandwich islands. This deadly as
sault upon the doctrines of the Declaration
which Mr.. Hoar pictures has been already
made, and it has been made with his as
sistance. He is thus placed in the awk-
ward position of condemning his own re-
cent action. IT Mr.. Hoar now regrets
that action, it strikes us that it would
have been candid in him to say so. AS it
is, the force of his invective against those
who would annex the Philippines is fatal
ly weakened by the fact that he has aided
in setting the example for them.

Names War Bill.

Governor Powers W bile in reminiscent
mood the other day noted the fact that
the entire amount of money expended and
the amount of liability incurred in filling
the call for troops from Maine in the war
with Spain was S95, 1874, and of this sum
$50, 800 has already been allowed by the
Federal government. Governor Powers
thinks it is a circumstance of which the
State should be proud, keeping the ex-
pense inside of 500, 000 ''Why, the ex-
pense in Massachusetts and New York
ran into millions. The members Of the
advisory board ate enough banquets and
drank enough champagne to partly equip
small regiment The governor also
cited the fact. inasmuch as we have been
reducing the war debt Of 1861 at the rate
OF $50, 600 year for number of years,
the expenses incurred in the war with
Spain only put us back where we were in
1897, when the bonded war debt was Just
an even S2,303, 600.
1t should be added that had not Gov.
Powers stood out against an extra session
of the legislature the expense would not
have been kept within 100000.

Kerosene as a Beverage.

News from France of the increasing pop
ularity of kerosene as beverage suggests
the possibility of agitating differences be-
tween the Standard Oil Company and the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
The new habit has made more progress
in Paris than elsewhere, and is under OBJ
servation there by the guardians of the
public health. The petroliques seem to
begin their evil courses not because they
are out of humor with alcohol but because
kerosene is the only stimulant they can
get. 1t produces an intoxication which,
though ow-spirited affair, has its at
fractions for experimenters. How un-
wholesome kerosene is in its effects, and
whether it is worse than alcohol, has not
yet been fully determined. Meanwhile al
cohol is in no present danger of being
crowded out Of France. The number of
wine shops has increased twenty five per
cent. III twenty-four years, and in the
larger cities the consumption of wine va
ries from forty to sixty gallons head, be-
sides more or less spirits and beer Thirst
like that must either be restrained or rated
by home products. There is no prospect
that any considerable part of it will be al
layed by kerosene. f. S. Martin, in
