CURRENT COMMENT.
MEMORIAL DAY.

There is something to be said upon
both sides of the proposition to change
the date of Memorial Day from May so
to the last Sunday in that month. The
cOmmander-in-chief of the Grand Army
says that at the coming enca1np ment in
Chicago a resolution in favor OF the
change will probably be passed, an d he
says that the members of the order feel
that as 1t Is now the day is largely de-
voted to sports and amusements that
the real significance of the occasion is in
a great measure overlooked, and that the
change would result in a more faithful
and proper observance of the day. There
can be no question as to the correctness
OF Colonel Shaw's statement as to the de-
terioration of the day as q sacred oeca-
sion, and doubtless there would be some
improvement in this regard were the date
changed to Sunday. But would not the

{ "a Brooklyn newspaper has been trying
to discover where the bulk of the German
vote will go this fall by asking the
opinion of German editors. Five of
those questioned answered that they
Gid rot know anything about it,
Dou btless If all the rest had answered
likewise they would have come nearer
telling the truth. Probably those that
predicted that their votes would be given
to Bryan as we'll as those who prophesied
Mckinley were controlled by their wishes
and not by any real knowledge The
great majority OF German voters have indie
pendence enough and intelligence enough
to determine for themselves how they
shall vote. Doubtless they give respect
full attention to the arguments OF their
editors, but they do not allow the latter
to decide for them.

After Pekin is reached and the am.
bassadors are rescued, what? Then the
common purpose which holds the allies
together will have been accomplished, ,
and questions of indemnity and tn e
future government of China VIII be be-
fore them. On these questions, it is to
be feared, the concert of the powers may
fly to pieces. 1t is hardly possible that
they will all agree upon the form of in
demnity. Some, in all probability, will
prefer territory to money, and de-
mand concessions Of the former. Already
the proposed landing of British troops at
Shanghai has disclosed jealousies and
suspicious among the powers which
augur no good for the future. II the
powers get out of China without con-
fict among themselves it will be little
less than miraculous

The chances Of getting a fair trial for
Champion in Androscoggin county
would not seem much better tn an in
York county. If the York county mind
has been poisoned by newspaper stories,
so has the Androsooggin county mind.
The probability is, however, that in
either county a jury can be obtained
which will decide the case on the evil
dence submitted to them in the court
room without reference to newspaper
stories.

The administration appears to have done
its best to bring about the prompt extra
dition of Nicely, but for all that it does
not seem likely that he Will be handed
over to Cuba very soon. Serious legal
complications have arisen over this case
in which two United States ldges are in
volved, one accusing the other Of
untimeIy and improper interference.
Doubtless Nicely himself and his astute
counsel, are greatly pleased with the
turn affairs have taken, and Will con-
tinue to do what they can to continue
and deepen the muddle.

OF course the despatch to the American
Board of Missions from the consul at
Chefoo has a tendency to confirm the for
mer reports of the massacre OF the mis-
sionaries at Pao Ting Flu, but it is by no
means conclusive. The story was
brought by a messenger from Pao Ting
Flu. Much depends upon the cradibiliby
Of this messenger. 1t viii be remem-
bered that much alleged Information was
brought from Pekln by messengers
which subsequently turned out to be the
grossest Dnisinformation. There is yet
ground for hoping that Miss Morrill, and
Miss GoOId are alive. A good many
missionaries reported massacred have
since reached the coast all right.

The latest intelligence Indicates that
the allies are rapidly pushing on
to Pekin and are nesting very
little resistance. BY this time they
ought to be close to the city. Whether
their entering Will be resisted remains
to be seen, but the fact that there has
been no serious opposition along the
route would seem to indicate that they
were not to have much trouble.
The only thing to be feared Is
that there may be an outburst of fury
inside the city before the troops enter
which may be directed against the am
bassadors. There have been reports in
Shanghai for some days that the attack
on the legations had been resumed, and
though reports from that quarter are to
be taken with great deal OF allowance,
there is probability enough about them to
give cause for anxiety.

the centre OF things In Maine, and are
among the most enthusiastic OF its many
warm admirers.
In All appr.c tative sketch OF Judge Wis.,
well In the Bangor Commercial. a writer
says: at seems to have fallen to the lot OF
the new chief TO be known as "a popular
man. This Is probably one OF his char
acteristics. Though his dignity OF man.
ner is one OF his pecuiarities; though he
is exceedingly quiet in his tastes and Of
ten rigidiy reserved; though he has never
been known to incline SO much as the
breadth of a hair to the one side or the
friendship or anything of the sort, and
though it ia impossible to a degree which
only those who know him can fully ap-
pteciate to imagine him as seeking popu-
lsrity,-the fact remains for comment
that he Is not only one of the most thor
oughiy respected men in Maine, but is the
best-iiked among all the splendid men
Who make up the Maine supreme court.
ain his manner and ma up the chief
justice wili adorn the position. Perhaps
that Is one OF the reasons, next to his
known ability rs lawyer, why his pros
pective appointment has met with such
general expressions OF favor-practically
unanimous in every county and town
from Fort Kent TO Kittery. The dignity
spoken Of previously is one OF his marked
peculiarities. To it he adds an invari la Bile
courtesy aud flashes of humor that redeem
what Nigh otherwise be the appearance
OF a depth OF abstraction. He is rather
tail, strongly made and active, a quick
walker and good bicyclist.
"In speech the new chief Is rather mod
crate, but emphatic, talking with the APP
pearsnce OF deliberation and careful
thought, and never laying himself open to
revision. His gestures are few and force
full, and his voice distinctly quiet, but
good carrier. In post prandial speaking,
particularly as a master OF ceremonies, he
is excelled by very few men, in spite OF the
fact that he is Of the kind that naturally
abjures wit in speech.
"To sum this all up, the new chief JUS
tice of Maine is a type OF the New Eng
land gentleman with the mind OF a stu
dent and The keen wits Of the fiDancier.
He is a product Of Maine institutions,
born OF her soil and reared under her
partnership. Nobody has any doubt that
he will adorn the Office
Judge WisweIl is president of the First
national bank OF Ellsworth, and his keen
business ability has done much to make
that institution The success it is.
