10 the Ed,tor OF The American;
Human nature is about the same at all
times and everywhere. Culture, ethics,
morsls and religion are forces which
greatly influence human expression and
conduct, but human nature remains
unchanged. There is in it continuity of
sameness from the earliest to the latest
generation. The discourses of Demos
themes, Pericles, Cicero, Mark Antony,
and Paul clearly indicate that men
thought, spoke, reasoned and acted in
those earlier times much as they do nov.
The bible contains quiet full history
of an ancient people the children OF Israel
The besetting sin of the men of Israel was
getting after other peoples gods, and they
were often led into their sin by heather
women women who had no faith in God
or righteousness, but who had great power
to lead men into participating in their
errors. After getting the heather wife,
the next step was to worship the heather
god instead of Jehovah, because the
former was less exacting than the latter.
and hence ''easier to get along with.
The twenty-fifth chapter of Numbers
has an interesting account OF one Of these
occurrences. Certain men of Israel got to
flirting with the daughters of Moab.
Plague followed. Moses saw that vigor-
GUS measures were necessary, but while
they were being carried out, Zimri had
the audacity to bring a Midianitish
woman into the congregation-into the
very presence of Moses. Phinehss, the
SON Of Eleazor, was filled with righteous
indignation. He remembered Aaron's ex-
perience with the golden calf, and wisely
decided not to repeat his grandfather's
mistake, so he made quick work with
Zimri and Cobb.
But history repeats itself, and we have
been having an example OF it in Maine
politics, for while resubmission has ueeu
the opposing party's god. it must be a6-
rnitted that certain republican politicians
at times have become infatuated with the
strange woman, but whenever they have
ventured to bring her into the repu blican
camp, she has been kicked out as an I'M
clean beast.
This is the experience OF the past, and
there is little reason to think it will be
different in the future. So, in the coming
campaign, il any of our republican candi-
dates contemplate flirting with this demo-
cratic idol. it would be well for them to
remember the fate of Zimri, for there
would be many, many republican voters
whose indignation and action would be
quite as intense and aggressive as were
those Of Phinehas.
Let us remember that as vote-getters
republican resubmissionists have not been
success in the past, and it is not likely
that they will do better in the future.

Mrs. Edward Coles, of Philadelphia, one
of Bar Harbor's prominent summer resi-
dents, has offered an award Of 500 in
cash ''to that boy who on his graduation
from the high school is, in the opinion of
Ihis schoolmates, the most honorable and
upright, the cleanest living, the most sue
<cessful and considerate towards others,
without regard to scholarship or athlet-
les" Mrs. Coles idea as to making this a
permanent feature may best be given in
her own words: "My desire is to give
this each year as long as live. On my
death my children will assume it, and l
hope my grandchildren will continue it,
making it a perpetual memorial to my
husband, and trust perpetual stimulus
tor good. But as it is an experiment, and
disadvantages may arise which cannot
foresee, l would prefer to do it from year
to year only" While only the boys in
4he graduating class are eligible to the
award, every pupil in the school is enti-
stled to vote in the bestowing of it.

A. M. Devereux, of Castine, has in his
possession the ships articles of the
schooner Classic and Eliza on a voyage
from Boston to Castine, thence to some
port in the West Indies and return in the
year 1902. The schooner was in command
of one Matthias Rider, jr., master, and was
manned besides the captain by a crew of
first and second mates, cook, ships boy
and three seamen, which in these DAYS
would be considered sufficient crew for
One OF our large three masters. The pay
list is Of interest also, as compared with
the present day, as by this paper the mas
ter received US per month, the two mates
$2 and 81 respectively, and the sean.en
$12 and S13 per month, while the boy re-
8 ceived $3.50 per month. The back of said
articles contains copy of the laws of the
government of seamen in the merchant
service as passed and signed by George
Washington, president; John Adams.
vice-president, and Thomas jefferson,
secretary of state, in the year 1870. As a

LITTLE JUDGE"
N 'CARTHY DEAD,
MANY MOURN

Thousands are mourning to-day the
| death OF the Little Judge" as City
Court Judge John Henry Mccarthy was
afectonarely known in this city. His
death occurred at his home, No. 137
West One Hundred and Twenty-f fifth
street. last night, at the age of fifty
eight years, and was due to a complica-
ton of diseases
Small in stature, but large in heart,
Judge Mccarthy was famed as the most
affable man on the local bench. Since
last August he had been crippled. He
fell from a bootblack's chair as he
reached forward to shake hands with a
friend and dislocated his hip.
Until he moved to Harlem, Mr.. Nc
Carthy was a power in east side poll
ties. In 1870 and 1850 he was elected to
the Assembly, and in 1881 he became
Judge of the Clinton Street Civil Court.
He was defeated for reelection by
Henry NJ. Goldtogle. now Congressman,
and got even the next year by defeat
ing for Congress Timothy ]. Campbell.
While In Congress he resigned to ac-
cept the position of City Court Judge,
offered by Gov. Hill. He was after
ward elected to a full ten-year term,
and at the last election was reelected
for another ten-year term at a salary
OF $1,000 year. Gov. Hughes will
have the appointment of his successor.
On April 25 1895. Mr.. Mccarthy was
married to Mrs. Carrie Kopelman. q sis
ter of Civil Justice Herman Joseph.
The Judge did not leave any property
except, it Is said, a $4,000 life insurance
in favor of his wife. Mrs. Mccarthy
owns their residence in West One Hun
cred and Twenty-fifth street
The funeral will be held on Saturday.

THERE is no reasonable doubt
but what the public library propo:
sition will be carried out success
fully. But a thing of this kind
wants to be carried unanimously.
There may be some active oppo-
sition but it will mostly subside
after thought and discussion.
Injury to the cause may come un-
consciously from a certain class of
citizens who really do not oppose
a library. There arc. many citi-
zens fairly we'll off who have a
private library quite we'll stocked.
1t has been selected along per-
sonal lines and it is better suited
to the needs Of its owner than the
public library would be for a
number of years. The public IL
brary does not appeal to such a
man SO much as to a man that is
hungry for books and is not able
to eat of them. The owner of a
good private library should see
the value of a public library to his
less fortunate fellows. He should
see the value of it to the grow
ing generation. His sympathies
should be broad in this matter.
Mr.. Bibliophile, are your sympa-
thies broad on this subject: Are
you willing to donate the same
amount of time, energy and
money to a public library as you
are willing to devote to your own
library? If not, why not? Let
the book lovers organize a club OF
their own to help in the good
| work.

c. 8. Titles Candidacy

Bismarck Tribune: To those
residents of the Missouri Slope
whose residence is of any con-
siderable length it is notnecessary
to speak of the many excellent
qualifications Of Col. c. B. Little
of. Bismarck, as a candidate for
the United States senate. Col.
Little has been a resident of Bis
marck for years and his career is
we'll known to the older residents
of the Slope country and the state.
Coming here as a lawyer, a gradu-
ate of Dartmouth college, with a
desire to help with the develop
ment of the west, Mr.. Little be-
came interested in business enter
prises which he has prosecuted to
success. He has been a consist
ent and persistent supporter of
North Dakota, and has lent his
time, energy and money to the
work of developing the western
part of the state. AS a banker he
has been conservative, careful,
always willing to assist legitimate
enterprises, and always ready to
take any legitimate steps for the
promotion of local enterprises and
institutions. He has been a good
friend to many young people who
have been encouraged to thrift
and saving through his assistance,
and in all business transactions he
has been fair, square and reliable.
His word has always been good
and he has always made it good.
In politics Mr.. Little has repre-
sented this district in the senate
since statehood. He has stood
for fair legislation, having in mind
the needs of the state, the neces-
sity for development, andth con-
ditions existing in: a new common
wealth. OF the members Of the
senate with whom he has had to
