A meeting Of the trustees of the Maine
Wesleyan seminary and female college at
Kent's Hill, will be held next Monday
at p m, at the office of Hon. Joseph A.
Locke in this city. This meeting will be
quite an important one inasmach as
means will be discussed whereby the rela-
tions between the Maine Methodist con-
ference anil the trustees may be made
closer and productive of better results.
The trustees will discuss the following
recommendations which were drawn up
at recent union meeting of the Maine
Methodist conference and trustees OF the
seminary at Lewiston: First, that the
number Of the trustees of the Maine Wes-
leyan seminary and female college should
be liked by the conference. should a
vacancy occur, the conference shall pre-
sent list of three men to the trustees,

vacancy Second, the term of trustee
shall be six years, instead of for life, as
at present.

McKINLEY's ADMINIsTRA TIoN.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is exceedingly gratifying to the
Republicans Of the country that their
party has beenY equally successful in its
legislative as well as administrative
action. Their Dineley tariff, which is
the Mckinley tariff with such improve
ments as experience and changed con, l.
tious suggested, il affording the neces-
sary protection to our manufactures, and
at the same time bringing the income to
the national treasury which 1t was de-
signed to produce.
While the Dingiey tariff may not be
perfect In all of the items contained in its
multitudinous schedules, yet ON the
whole it is probably as nearly perfect as
any tariff we ever have had. It certainly
embcdies with mastery skill the true
philosophy Of an American protective
tariff, and III considering the beneficent
results of it, it should not be forgotten
that MIR. Dingley was the successor, II
not the protege, of Mckinley, ana that
too much credit cannot be given to presi-
dent Mckinley for the triumphant part
he has achieved in tariff legislation.
AZ Aociucub nhChlulty, therefore,, tine
country Is largely indebted for our re-
turning prosperity, and his nomination
was mainly due to his great services on
that issue. Farmers manufacturers
lat orers and business men, all have been
benefited alike, and the future of business
is now bright with the promise of con-
tinued prosperity. All Of which teache 9
the country the wisdom of electing
Mckinley instead of Bryan for President.
1t Is already more than probable that
BRYAN will be the candidate of II Q
national democracy in 1900. 1t is equally
probable that Mckinley win be the en-
didate of the Republican party. 1hs
logic OF events points to these two con-
illusions, on Lincoln's political maxim,
THAT 1t is not safe to swap horses CROSS
ing the stream
The national issues have been made BY
the master spirits of the two great parties
already, in the main, and in the light OF
current events, and Republicans must
choose between the republicanism of
the administration and the national
democracy of MIR. W. j. Bryan.
AS Hamlet said to his mother:
Look here upon this picture, and on
this;
What Judgment would step from this to
Sense sure you have, else could you not
have motion
But sure that sense is apoplex'd:
For madness would not err;
Nor sense TO ecstacy was near so thrall'd.
But 1t reserved some quantity of choice
10 serve is such differences"

Very few men had larger circle Of
acquaintance in Portland or were mors
favorably known than Mr.. l..
Clifford Wade. the city editor of the
PRESS, whose death took place yesterday
morning after long illness, for though
he had been confined indoors but brief
period, his Illness had really extended
over many months. Mr.. wade's ooou.
patton was such as brought him into re.
iations with great many people, and
we believe all of them would testify that
they had found him always a high
minded, courteous gentleman, of most
kindly and sympathetic nature. Conf.
dences rsposed in him were never be.
trayed, and he was always considerate Of
the feelings Of others. He was frank and
open-hearted. and his every act and word
was marked with sincerity and candor.
What he seemed to be he was--a man who
was without guile himself, and never
looked for or expected it in others. For
many years he filed the place of musical
and dramatic critic on the PRESS with
great ability, and what is rarer,
with Justice to the performers andkto the
public To his associates in the PRESS
Office, some of whom have been in close
relations with him for more than twenty
years, his death brings deep personal sor-
row. All Of them esteemed him not only
as diligent and faithful worker, bat
AS kind and sympathetic friend, ever

~ could to their happiness.

enough to admit that the legal right to

They may get into difficulty II they con

,5fal Smith, 'swe lacked outlets for
our commerce. now the deficiency has
been supplied. /" What is an outlet for
sommerces We suppose that 1t is q
place where we can dispose of our goods.
Before the war then we lacked such
places, but now the deficiency has been
iupplied. How supplied? We have
Porto Rico, a tropical island, with q pop
nlation of several hundred thousand peo.
pie, whose wants are few, partly because
they are not high in the scale of civil
lzation, and partly because they live in a
tropical climate. where nature
produces spontaneously most of the food
they require. Then we have Cuba, an
island ravaged for years by war, o large
part of the population of which has to be
supported by charity. And then we have
The Philippines, group of islands popu-
lated by semi-civillsed and barbarous
races, whose wants are of most limited
description. These, then, are the "out-
let's" which the war has furnished, and
which, according to Mr.. Smith, have
supplied our deficiency. If our deficiency
was supplied by these islands 1t must
have been very small indeed. As matter
OF fact there existed no deficiency at ali.
Outlets for our goods were abundant and
far more than extensive emo ugh to SUP.
ply all our needs In that direction. Our
foreign commerce was growing with
leaps and bounds before these new out
let's were opened, and even while they
were more completely stopped to US
than ever before.
We have not lacked for outlets for our
commerce. The thing which we have
lacked is commerce itself. But for the
past few years that has been growing
with rapidity almost amazing, not be-
cause we had found new outlets flor 1t,
for as matter Of fact we had not, but be.
cause We had acquired the ability to
make things better and at lower price
than other nations. People buy of the
nation that can sell at the lowest prics.
II Canadian can buy what heswants In
the United States cheaper than in Eng
land, he will buy it there. no matter how
loyal he may be to the British crown.
SIR. Smiths rsfere nee to our colonies az
outlets is probably survival of the
notion which probably once was true,
that trade follows the flag. and that to
get trade a nation must own colonies.
That idea is now, however. obsolete. Trade
follows the prices current, and not the
dag. II trade were determined blythe flag
the United States would not be enacting
tariffs TO restrict or prevent the sale of
feEeign goods within its borders, nor
would the Canadians find it necessary to
erect legislative barriers to divert trade
from the United States to Great Britain.
So long AZ we can make equally good
articles with other nations and sell them
at lower prices, we need not fret about
outlets for our commerce. We shall have
all the outlets we need without conquer
ing and maintaining colonies. The dam
ger to our commerce lies not in any lack
OF outlets, but In inability to compete in
prices with other nations. We are under
SEINE disadvantage In that direction be-
cause Of the higher wages paid to our

Death OF Bosn Ronh.ur.

Rosa Bonheur, the foremost painter of
animal life Of her time, died at her home
in Fontainebleau, France, on Thursday
night of last week. Her life and history
were unique. She was born in Bordeaux,
France, in 1892. Her father was a draw
ing master who had a hard struggle to sup
port his family. The death of the mother
left him with four ycung childre1 with no
one to care for then properly. At school
Rosa was constantly in disfavor because
she was tanned and scratched, and often
ragged, from roaming about in the woods
and fields. The other and better cared for
children made fun of her and she got even
with them, no; in words, but with her
pencil, by drawing caricatures of them.
Though failing in her other studies, and
never receiving any awards, she always
carried cn the prizes in drawing. Her
father finally recognized the situation, she
was allowed to say gooG-by TO sciaoo, and
went home where she drew fron mernine
to night, with her father for teacher. Her
first appearance in ohc Paris salon was in
ls4l, VIXEN two of ner pictzres "Sheep
and Goats" and ~T~o Rabbits, ;" were ex.
hibitPd In 1879 her "Plowing in Niver-
nais," now in the Luxembourg gallery,
and faailiar 10 Americans through many
copies and engray.ngs, together with an
other superb example, "HayMaking in
AuVergne," eceaied real sensation. In
1865 the Horse Fair" the most famous
of her works, now the property of the
Metropolitan Museum of New York,
marked the climax of her genius. But her
work was continued Throughout her life,
an. she was alert, active and Interested 10
the last, wonderful and delightful exam
pie of how strong and creative and endur-
ing a woman of genius can be.

Gea. .Eotn wh.rIer at BostoE

The observance of Memorial deg has
never been more general or mere impress
sive than on Tuesday. But its notable fea-
ture in New England was the welcome
given in Boston TO Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the ex-CoHfederate cavalry leader, and
hero of Santiago, and the address which
he delivered in the Boston TheGter before
Kinsley Grand Army post. The great au-
ditorium was densely packed. "Teday
marks an epoeh in my life" the speaker
declared. He spoke as a man OF Southern
birth and training but the stalwart Bos-
ton Journal says every word of his speech
might have been uttered by q colder of
Massachusetts. This appeal to the patri-
otism of his hearers was eloquent and IN
spring. In speakingof the new problems
now before the country he stood squarely
by the government. 'Instead of broOding
over the possibilities OF the evil which may
arise from the extension of American in
tluence and power,'' he said, sit seems to
me it would be well to consider the posi-
BILE benefits which may come to u.s.
And again: "There is another thought.
1t is very certain that wherever the infu-
enee of the American government has been
felt the highest type of civilization has re-
suited. We must remember that our flag
is the only standard on earth under which

Last Saturday Was the time set for the
Cuban soldiers in the province of Havana
to present themselves to the United
States officials TO sarren&er their arms and
receive their personal allotment of $50
each from the SS,00O000 fund set aside
for their relief. But only seven men APP
peared that day, and the total number up
TO Wednesday night was not more than
200 or 800. The men are greatly in need
of the money and it is evident that it is be-
cause of the influence of their former lead
ers that they do not appear 70 claim it.
This is the diseuieting feature OF the situa-
tiOn. There may be no danger of or out
break against the United States authority,
but the situation is,one which will Psquire
to be carefully watched. The pretended
roll of Cuban soldiers proves to have been
made up in glaringly fraudulent wey.

= The New York law taxing franchises
Gov. Roosevelt's pet measure-which was
enacted by the legislature in special session
last week, restored public franchises to the
tax rolls ana embodies the principle that
public corporations shall not escape taxa
tion upon their property any more than in
dividuals. 1t lifts from real estate the
privilege Of bearing the burden of govern
ment, and makes valuable concessions and
privileges pay something for the rights
they have obtained from the public, and
the protection afforded by the law. II the
law works as Gov. Roosevelt expects it
will not be long before the people of every
other state will be c.amoring for similar
enactment.

1t is now explained that it is not the in
tentiOn to give the proposed Dewey house
at Washington as a gift to the Admiral
outright. Rear Admiral Upshur, who
made the original sugge',ion, says in an
swer to an inquiry; "Your inference that
it is my preference that a home to be pur-
chased by the freewill offerings of Ameri-
cans for the Admiral OF the Mary should
be occupied by Admiral Dewey as long as
he remains at the head Of the navy, and
then to pass to his successors, is entirely
correct and | agree with you further that
in that form it would be mo,e acceptable
