Now for The Pacific Gables.

Philadelphia Press: A navy depart
ment report shows that a practicable
route has been surveyed for a cable from
the United States to the Philippine ISL
ands by way of Guam. and from the
islands to Yokohama, Japan.
Congress ought to authorize the early
of that cable. both for COM
mercial and military reasons. Money

bic which would connect the Pacific coast
with Hawaii. the Samoan group. Guam
and the Philippines. III is a necessity and

Washington County's Law Library.

The Washington County Court house
at Machias is identical we believe in
size and design with the Waldo county
court house as it was before building
the addition at the rear. There. as
here, additional room was wanted for
the law library; and this is the way
they solved the problem at Machias:
The necessity for larger law library
room at the Washington County court
house has long been felt by those who
practice at the bar. The method of OBJ
tanning one without, the expense of put
ting an addition to the building was not,
however, conceived until suggestion
was incidentally made by one Of the
lawyers to the County Commissioners
that space sufficient for the purpose
might be obtained over the entry, juror
and consultation rooms, was it thought
to be possible. After looking the prem
lses over the commissioners summoned
to their aid master builder A. r. Gibson
who made measurements and drew
plans which resulted in the present
beautiful room just completed under
the supervision of the commissioners
IL is llX4s feet and ~ feet high, with
$50 lineal feet of shelf room. The cell
ing is steel and finely decorated in
colors. The floor is maple, and the
room is supplied with a hat and coat
rack, wash basin, three quartered-oak
tables with chairs to match; is lighted
by three electric light chandeliers and
is heated by steam. Connected is a
toilet room. Communication with the
clerk S office and court room is obtained
by speaking tubes.

Gen. Gordon's Manly Words.

Gen. John b. Gordon's reply to the
censorious and impertinent resolution
of the Confederate Association of the
Army OF Tennessee is a manly and
patriotic letter. which will heighten the
esteem in which he is held by the best
men of all sections of the country.
This association undertook to rebuke
INN for attempting the late reunion Of
the wearers of the blue and the wear
ers of the gray held at Atlanta. At
that reunion the commander of the
Grand Army, in the course of his ad
dress, let fall two or three sentences
that Gen. Gordon promptly, but with
entire courtesy, said that he could not
approve of, inasmuch as they seemed to
question the conscientious action of
those who stood with the South in the
war. The previous speaker disclaimed
any intention Of giving offence, and the
incident was supposed to have ended
agreeably. But these southern soldiers
not only by implication rebuked Gen.
Gordon for being present, but expressed
their dlsapprobation of his attendance
at the &. A. r. encampment in Chicago,
to which he had been invited His
reply on this point is admirable:
las to the courteous and cordial invl-
tatlon OF both the e. A. R. and of the
executive committee of Chicago citi-
zens, I have to state that | greatly
appreciated the compliment paid me by
that invitation, and the spirit which
prompted it. Circumstances, however,
rendered it impossible for me to accept,
and | so notified the officers and com
mlttees nearly two months ago. But in
this connection also | wish to say |
must be the Judge now and hereafter of
the propriety of accepting invitations
from any section of the country OF any
class OF my fellow-countrymen."
The last paragraph of his letter is in
noble temper, that could hardly be
excelled:
'In conclusion, let it be definitely I'M
derstood that, SO long as Providence
permits me to speak or labor shall
continue the efforts which have made
for thirty years in the interest of sec
tlonal harmony and unity. Whatever
| can do will assuredly be done for the
truth of history, for justice to the
South and to all sections, for fostering
our cherished memories, for the oblitera-
ton of all sectional bitterness, and for
the settlement of all sectional contro-
versies on basis consistent with the
honor and the manhood and the self-re-
spect of all"
