BUTCHERS WANT PROTECTION.
Green GrOcers Preparing Petition
for Incoming Council.

The green grocers have not given up
their fight for a reduction OF the city
license fee which they have to pay at
present and will petition the incoming
Council to reduce the specific tax from
800 to $50 They ask that either this be
done or they be given protection.
The green grocers will also send pc
tition to-day or tomorrow TO the present
Finance Committee requesting that they
be given until after Feb. / TO pay the tax
now due. They desire TO wait until the
new board has acted upon their appeal
for reduction before paying out the sum
now required of them. The butchers
argue that at present there are many
places of business being run under Con-
federate veterans licenses and that it is
manfestly unfair to them to be compen-
ed to pay such q large tax without re-
ceiving any protection.
A committee Of three from the green
grocers, with Mr. r. G. Norton as chair
man, waited upon Deputy City Marshal
j. Robert Dreamer yesterday morning and
asked him TO appear before the Finance
Committee with them In their behalf.
Deputy Dreamer has just completed the
business census and finds Chat not only
the green grocers. but other business

Two r variable Maine Discoveries.

The few surviving "aEtis'' in Maine
have made two remarkable discoveries
which are important il true. One Is
made by Il Portland correspondent Of
the Springfield Republican who hints
darlly at "A widespread and impor-
tant rebellion against the admihis-
tration and the Republican party.
said rebellion having it's headquarters
in Portland and being caused by the
arrival of tie empire in Washington
and the hcartlcss crushing of the
Tagal republic This rebellion. SO
the Springfield organ is informed.
| G, .ouslys cndanGcrs the supremacy OF
the party in Maine and is supported
by the leading Republicans of mat
| .cction In every town i'm York ana
Cumberland there is an omirious
s,luddcrinE at the ruthless sup )rcs-
8 on of the Philippine Instruction. and
the correspondent declares that all
; that is needed to make the First dis
| trict go Democratic in 1902 is the in
| PRODUCTION of u liberal supply OF
anti speakers from Massachusetts,
| All this and mlc! more is set forth by
the cnterprising correspondent who
| has doubtless secured one of the Big
gest scoops" of the young century.
We would advise Sheriff Pearson to
watch this correspondents haunts. for
there is good evidence that in those
places the per cent. limit is not
strictly observed.
Not only in Portland but also in
Rockland is the 'anti-impcrialisric"
spirit rampant. if we may judge by
the columns of the Rockland Opinion.
The editor of that paper has made
the discovery that Funston's exploit:
was mean, dastardly. contemplate.
cowardly. sneaking. unworthy. dirty.
and brutal" All these adjectives and
others of their kind are used. and
General Funston is referred to as {,
pirate" ''rufiian" and a Cur who
ought to be "drummed out of the
army" since shooting is too good for
him." The Opinion had firm faith that
when the people were heard from
President Mckinley would not dare
to reward the 'cowardly sneak" But
the Opinions discovery of the char
acter of Funston and the unspeakablc
iniquity of his crime came too late.
The people had declared Funston Il
hero and demanded the reward which
was promptly given him. 1t must be
that neither the administration nor
the people are able to reach the high
moral plane of the Opinion. But the
discovery of this paper like that of
the Springfield Republican is I'M
doubtedly important If true. Were
not the grief of the Opinion SO deep
at the capture OF it's idolized Aggie
and his subsequent swearing of al
legiancc to the empire. it could proba
bly, arouse the people to demand
that Funstons commission be taken
away and he drummed out of the
army. This preceding will take
place at about the same time that the
First district rebellion" breaks out.
