Men Of Maine.

Sons of the steadfast shore,
Kin OF the spruce and the pine,
Where the north born fountains pour
To the ethousand-harbored line
Hear We the call from the hill.
The maize -mantled hill, and the plain:
HHearts of oak, be with us still,
Men of Maine
Men of the State of Maine!"
Voice of yon brother and son,
Voices OF sister and wife,
Keeping the faith the fathers won
On the red-steeped roods of strife;
And they cry, the West to the East.
Out of their sweat and their strain:
"For the great still direct, and the least,
Men Of Maine,
Men OF the State of Mainei"
Hark to the rumble afar.
Tread OF the foresters' feet,
Tramp OF the scotsman, and tar,
Sullen as night-drums abeat;
And chanty swells up ON the air,
A foresong Of battle and pain,
"Maties, all's well-we are there,
The Men of Maine,
Maine OF the State of Maine."

D1phtheria.
1t seems necessary for THE ANERI-
CAN to repeat this week in part what
Il said last week in regard to the
diphtheria situation, in order to re-
move the impression conveyed to
certain obtuse minds that there wa
''diphtheria all over the city,.
THE AMERICAN said, and empha-
sized the statement, that there 'were
only few scattered cases oi
diphtheria in Ellsworth, and 1.-THE
situation in Ellsworth, 90 far - the
disease itself is concerned, is not such
~ to warrant any scare, or even, per-
haps, to justify any general closing
order". Again In the Same article
We said: "The situation here does
not justify serious alarm"
This morning We are pleased to
quote the health of1cer - showing
that Ellsworth to-day. 90 far ~ the
knowledge of the board of health 10
concerned, is practically free from
diphtheria.
Our editorial last week was directed
solely against the alleged failure of
some physicians to report cases Of
diphtheria and have houses in which
there were cases properly quaran-
tined, thereby placing in jeopardy the
health and lives of others. This is q
serious matter, and one against which
The AMERICAN believes it voices the
sentiment of the people of Ellsworth
in raising its protest.
