The admission of Thomas b. Reed 10
this Der of this state completes the trans
fer CT that eminent America citizen from
the comparatively narrow life of Portland
and of Washington co the broader and
more truly national life of New York.
1t has been well said that the true
wealth OF any community Is in the char
acter OF its citizens. The imperial city
and State Is going On all the time, In
obedience to the law which impels men
of the largest powers TO seek the largest
field for their exercise. But even New
York does rot acquire Thomas ID. Reed
every day In Jhr year.
Cast In large mould, physically, men,
tally and morally, the ex-Speaker brings
with him record or public service that
assures him warm welcome. He stood
like rock in his high place In Congress
against the worst tendencies Of his party.
He resisted Its recklessly extravaganza
programme at the last session and pre-
vented the squandering of hundreds OF
millions OF the public money. The Near
aqua canal bill and the Shipping Subsidy
bill. which would have enriched swarm
of hungry syndicaues at the expense of
the people, We're killed by his homes
hand.
Alone among the front.rank leaders of
the Republican party. he refused his con-
sent and cooperation to the un-An1eriear
policy of expansion by purchase plus CON
quest In the Philippines. Regardless OF
his political future, knowing we'll thai
he was saoriieing the supreme ambition
of his life, Thomas D. Reed deliberately
elected t, stand by the vital Amrican
principle Of principles-that ali just gov
eminent must be based on the consent Of
the governed. And he has gone into pri-
vate life uLstained with heresy to thai
first article of the faith of this fathers.
No ADLER man, no honester man, nc
Drawer man, no truer American patriot
and statesman has linked his fame and
fortunes with the city of New York In
many year. Welcome to Thomas b.

THE COLUMBfA VICTORIOUS.

The CUP stays. Yesterday IS race settled
1t. And 1t stays, not by any piece of
good luck or any superiority of crew, but
boat than the Shamrock. The two yachts
have been tested under all conditions of
wind and the Columbia has proved her
self superior In every one of them. Yes
terday tire wind blew about twenty knots
an hour, just the kind Of breeze that
Sir Thomas Upton had been hoping for
and TO which his boat was supposed to be
came in tive minutss ahead. In a mod
crate breeze the Columbia had previously
proved her superiority by beating the
Shamrock by a mile and half, and in
the race Of Thursday, though the
course was not covered in the requisite
time, there was fair test of the two
yachts IN light breeze, with the advan-
tage eeaieedly in favor of the American
boat. The only matter for regret in the
series of races was the accident which
happered to the Shamrock in the second
race, which enabled the Columbia to win
by default If the other two races had
team very close 1t might have been
claimed that tie Columbia's victory in
the series had MT completely demonstrate
ed her superiority: but her easy successes
in the other two races showed clearly
enough that Ii there had been no acoi-
dent the Columbia would have won in
three straight contests. No teries of races
fer the International cup has ever been
sailed under fairsr conditions and with
better fesling on beth sides than this
one. Capt Evans with his aeet kept the
courss clear, and neither boat had lite
wind shut eff by excursion steamers We
believe not a single complaint has been
made by Sir Thomas Upton since his
arrival. On the contrary he has frequent
ly borne testimony to tie fairness and
squareness Of the arrangements and the
equality OF tt conditions. His boat was
sailed with admirable skill. and all was
got out of her that she was capable of.
Her failure was due entirely to the fact
that the Columb la was of better model.
The result of the races must leave some
yacht experts feeling very foolish, for ssv.
eral of them had demonstrated to thell
own satisfaction that by no possibility
could the Columbia win. propouncing the
Shamrock superior in every respect.

There are certain postal regulations
which are Of interest and importance to
Maine people having relatives in the Phil
ippines. Civilian mail for the Philip
pines is subject to the postal union rate
for all foreign letter mail, the unit being
five cents. Military letter mail, however,
is subjsct to the regular two-cent doines-
Ito rate. Knowing this many people
throughout the United States have bean
sending civilian letters to the Philippines
bearing only two-cent stamps. They are.
In consequence, sent forward as "short-
paid" matter. with considerable chance
OF never reaching destinations Letters
for the troops should be plainly marked
with the regiment and company numbers.

Much work has teen done this sum-
mer to improve the Kenrebeo river both
as numbering river and as manufao-
turing river. Those who use the river
for floating their logs, aud those who use
water for manufacturing have combined
both to remove Instructions from the
channel OF the river and to improve
Moosehead Lake as "A storage BASIN
There mas for long time heen dam at
the outlet of Moosehead Lake, but it has
been of such kind as to render the lake
almost useless as storage basin. This
summer new gates have been put in and
the log narrowed down from A to IS feet
In addition sluiceway is being put in,
through which it Will be possible to con-
troll the water. The improvements have
bsen made at the suggestion of Mr..
Sumner Hollingsworth, Of the Holdings
worth & Whitney Co., and an accom-.
pllshed hydraulic engineer. The Andres
coggin river has long had great advaut-
ages as manufacturing river because OF
the excellent system OF storing water in
the Rangeley Lakes, whsnce 1t could be
lei out as demanded to maintain the val
ume Of the river. The present season g
work will undoubtedly improve the Ken
nebeo in this respect.
