The Watervillc Sentinel calls the
Journal to task for stating that the
debate on the pilotagc bill was limited
to five minute periods. 1t would, per-
haps. have been more accurate if we
had stated that this was the average
time available to each speaker who
participated in the discussion. The
debate was limited to two hours. each
side having an hour. AS there We're
10 speakers this time would. if it had
all been available. have given each
speaker an average OF about Is
minutes. But as much of this time
was consumed by the interruptions and
questions Of IL number of members who
did mt contribute speeches to the dis
cusSion. it is safe to say that the
average time available To each speak
or did not much if any exceed five min
utcs. When Mr.. Littletield asked
unanimous consent for an extra five
minutes in which to answer some of
tho statements Of the friends OF the
Pilot Trust he WAS promptly shut off
hy the objection Of Mr. Sherley of
Kentucky. who was in charge Of that
side Of the discussion.

'"Tariff reduction" remarks the
Watcrville Sentinel. must be gradual
and must be gone at carefully and con-
servativcly" Certainly it must if it is
not to destroy our present prosperity,
and, furthermore, it must be done by
the friends and not by the enemies of
protection We confess our belief that
any legislation of this kind should be
in charge of Northern men, and not
the free trade statesmen of the
Sunny South where cotton is king
and who dominate affairs at Wash
ington when the Democratic party is
in power. We do not think that even
the Sentinel will seriously claim that
the representatives of that section
would have any solicitude for Maine
interests, or that they could be trusted
to revise the tariff gradually, carefully,
or conscrvativcly. The chances are
that in any revision the interests of
Maine will never be SO carefully safe
guarded as they are today under the
DingIcy tariff law, and. in any re-
vision conducted by Southern Demo-
Gratis, it is equally certain that they
would not be safesuarded at all.

The CarclCSSncSs of American people
In the amount Of postage placed upon
letters tn foreign countries has become
such 4 nuisance that the British gov
crnment has been called upon to make
protest, urging this government to
call the attention of our people To the
matter Even IL foreign letter bears
insufficient postage it is forwarded to
its destination abroad. but before the
recipient can get it he has to pay
double postage on the letter. Many
persons refuse to pay this penalty
with the result that the letters are re-
turned and great Inconvenience arises.
1t is said that letters with insufficient
postage are not 50 frequently sent
abroad by foreigners in this country a
by our business men and by classes of
peopIe who ought to know better. 1t
seems a simple matter. but neverthe-

annoying to foreign merchants TO have

ity To know how this species Of rubbish
differs from other kinds. Wonder is
also expressed as to how the Japanese

The Unitarian church in Bangor Is
to receive extensive alterations and
improvements which will greatly en-
harce the value of the property and
make it one of the most handsomely
decorated churches in the city. 1t is
estimated that the total cost of the
work to be dnnc will aggregate $4,000
or $1,000. Tho walls will be painted,
pcws stained, and new cushions fur
nshed. New windows will probably
be a feature. The pastors study is to
be renovated and the outside of the
building painted. An organ is to be
purchased at Il cost of about $4,000,
the committee to be aided in its selec-
ton by Arthur Foote of Boston.
Says "Thc TattlCr" in the Portland
Advertiser. "One of the meanest
tricks that ever came to my notice
occurred this morning on Congress
street near the junction of Oak. A
woman was pushing gocart in which
rode a brght-cycd little boy who
lovingly embraced Il good sized Teddy
bear. Something attracted the little
ones attention and the bear rolled out
of his lap into the gutter. 1t was I'M
noticed by both mother and child
Directly behind them was Il well
dressed man travelling in the same
direction. Upon reaching the spot
where the bear was dropped he stepped
into the road and picked the toy up.
He looked after the woman and the
boy and seeing that they had not dis
covered their loss he pushed his find
into his pocket and resumed his walk.
As he caught UP with and passed the
carriage he glanced into it and seeing
that the boy was empty handed
covered his bullying pocket with his
arm and proceeded on his way"

Officers of the Eastern Steamship Co
say that there is no ground for the re-
port. which some OF the papers have
printed during the past week, that the
steamer Camden may he withdrawn
from the Boston and Penobscot route

handling her in making landings on
the river. 1t is true that it is more
difficult to make landings with Il pro-
pcler than Il sidcwheelcr. and that
considerable trouble has been expert
enccd with the Camden in this respect.
But in all other points the boat is per-
fcctly adapted to The route for which
she was built, and this trouble can and
will be remedicd by alterations in the

Camden has discontinued her landings
at Northport and SearSnort. and the
business there is attended to by the
City of Rockland, which makes three
trips per week.

full old King Chapel at Bowdoin was
struck by lightning during one of the
recent storms. The stone work was
considerably damaged, it being esti-

second time the building has been a
target for lightning, bolt hitting the
north tower seven or eight years ago
The damage at that time was almost

pitiable. Business in Warsaw has
fallen of so per cent. and more: the
fashionable boulevards are partly de-
serted; the restaurants are but half
filled, and the leading hotel Is running
at a loss. The city swarms with
troops, but martial law brings only
oppression, not security. Hardly q
day passes but officials are killed or
wounded by the terrorists, while sus.
pected persons are arrested, dubbed
or shot to death by the authorities.
The terrorists are strong enough to
defy the government. while the gov
eminent Is strong enough to crush a
general revolt, and the result Is an.
archy. When 1t will end no one can
