The old fashioned ship with an old fash

Where Is the pride of a nations devotion
That brought us our spices and teas,
And Haunted our colors from ocean to

From the Straits of Magellan to Spain;
Rounding the .idias, green coffee laden.
Passing the Grand Banks with grain.

And ever she kent to the breeze
The Stars and the Stripes the wide, wide
The clipper that sailed seven seas!
Yes, ever the flag of our fathers she
To the envious maritime world;
AS she rode out China Sea typhoon I'M
daunted
Or breasted a hurricanes swirl.
But where has she gone? Aye. that is
The steam tramp's crept in by degrees.
And wrested away her trade and her
glory
The clipper that sailed seven seas!
Now trailing along to sea coasters
Are the bones of the clipper today;
Coal laden, unnamed, she dips in the
Like tears are the drone of the spray
Lunging and plunping she waits for the
When the pillows her tortures will ease
And the white sea worms her bones will
devour-

W. Tell About Maine.

A short time ago the Journal printed
an editorial commenting upon the
prosperity of Kansas farmers and de-
declaring his prosperity to be typlcal Oh
the prosperitv of the American farmer.
The Lewiston Sun kindly reprinted the
editorial and below it appeared the fol-
lowing comment:
That's Kansas. Tell about Maine
farmers. Kansas has free trade with
all her neighbors. Maine Is shut OH
from free trade with her neighbors on
three sides.
Kansas products are sold in Chicago,
New York and other cities east OF
Kansas. Her tide of travel is east and
west and her tide of trade is east and
west. mostly east. The tide of travel
in Maine is from Van Buren, down
along the border to Bangor and thence
along the coast line to Portland and
through to Boston and New York, our
markets The people with products to
sell are nearer their market than are
the people of Kansas. The tide of
travel in Kansas being east and west
it is proportionately as difficult for one
TO travel from Nebraska to Oklahoma
As it is for a resident of Biddeford to
reach Alfred. Kansas is more effect
ually shut off from her neighbors on
the north and south than is Maine
from the provinces.
Tariff is no more the panacea for all
industrial ills than it is the cause of
them. Maine has prospered under a
protective tariff which has enabled her
producers to sell their products to each
other and to the rest of the country as
we'll as kept foreign producers from
running the market. That we have
prospered, that we are more prosper
Gus than our neighbors across the line,
is shown by the constant immigration
of the brain and Drawn of the Prov
inces to Maine and Massachusetts.
Citizens of the Provinces come to
Maine because they get higher wages
and better living conditions than at
home. The tariff wall, as the Sun calls
it, is valuable, not only for what it
keeps in, but also, for what it keeps
out.

Poor Alfonso.

Alfonso, King of Spain, has, oc-
cupied an unique place among the
monarchs of Europe since he took
| his seat upon the throne. He has
been looked upon as little above
the average in intelligence and
disposed to look upon the rest of the
world according to Goth century stand
ards. In America the feeling toward
Alfonso,-has been especially cordial,
though it is but little more than ten
years since the two nations were at
war His marriage, the birth of his
children, his official acts and the acts
of his daily lite have all been watched
with lively interest He has heretofore
avoided friction and his domain has
been more prosperous in the immediate
past. The more sanguine have predict
ed that during his reign Spain might
regain some of it's former prestige
among the nations.
The first cloud was the marriage of
his cousin and the story that his cou-
sin told, after he had been banished
from Spain, to the effect that Alfonso
had urged his marriage and then ban
ished him for marrying. thus yielding
to his personal feelings and official
with disastrous results. While all Eu-
rope was discussing that strange tam
gle war was started with the Moors
Spain still retains three military
posts on the coast of Africa none of
which is worth a penny as a point of
strategical advantage. They are the
last remnants of the Spanish colonial
possessions. Desire to hold them for
any advantage they may have is hard
ly the cause of the war. 1t is more
likely to be resented that the Moors
should try to take them by force.
Whatever the underlying reason, the
fact remains that Spain found herself
forced to fight the Moors and to fight

ish peasantry, bending under the
heavy burdens of taxation did not want
to be saddled with the expenses of a
bloody conflict.
Barcelona was the first scene of seri-
Gus resistance and rioting. Strange to
say the fury of the mobs have been
directed principally against churches
and auxiliary institutions. The city Is
now practically cut off from communi-
cation with the outer world and the
Barcelona garrison is fighting for it's
existence.
With war at home and war abroad
Alfonso took the only avenue left
to him to assert his authority until he
could bring about a semblance Of order.
He had proclaimed martial law and
suspended the constitution. These acts
make him supreme and he has saddled
himself with responsibility for what
ever happens. The premier, Wauria, is
a military cabinet on the ground that
the outbreak at Barcelona has reached
the proportions of revolution.
Viewed from a distance the situation
indicates the crumbling of the last
vestige of Spanish granduer The
troops in Morocco are needed at home
to preserve a semblance of organized
government. When peace is again re-
stored in the Kingdom it is doubtful
whether a campaign against the Moors
would be inaugurated. Sad as it may
seem and as great a wound to Spanish
pride as it surely is, Spain cannot af-
ford to risk the complete overthrow of
organized government in order to save
the three worthless remnants of the
Spanish possessions in Africa.
