SOlOn CnaSe, VINO QleQ november Z5Q
at his home in Chase's Mills, aged ST
years, had not been in the public eye for
some time, but in "Greenback times, )"
and later, he was forceful and pictur-
esque figure in Maine politics. AS a
writer and as speaker he had few
equals in his day, and of his sincerity
there can be no question. What in others
might we'll have been termed demagog-
uery was not so in his case. He was on
all occasions his natural self, horny
handed Maine farmer, gifted beyond the
ordinary with mother wit and the power
to frame telling sentences. While politi-
cal honors might not have been unwel-
come to him, on one occasion at least he
gave up a gubernatoriaI nomination that
might have been his to another. Ninety
per cent of the delegates to the Green
back convention of 1878 went to Portland
expecting to nominate Scion Chase for
Governor. The leaders met the night be-
fore the convention and decided upon
Joseph L. Smith of Bangor. This was
not satisfactory to the rank and file, and
when the convention met it was hard to
control it and but for the efforts of Scion
Chase himself he would have been given
the nomination. AS it was, pandemonium
reigned in the convention for time, and
W. M. Rust of this city, the chairman,
was unable to control it. We think the
last public utterances of Scion Chase
We're series of letters to the Boston
Herald, some of which were republished
in The journal, and which were ''good
easy reading" The Boston Transcript
in an editorial thus summarizes his career:
In these later years, Uncle Scion had
mellowed-not that his convictions had
abated or that his tenacity of purpose
had slackened, but that age had taught
him larger and more tolerant view of
men and measures. Speaking of his
earlier, dogmatic days to an old friend,

thought sometimes knowed bout as
much as any one man could carry round,
but, now I'm over eighty, l don't feel
sure of much of anything but the multi
plication table and the Golden Rule. !"
Frequently time exerts this influence on
the adamantine Yankee type-and Uncle
Scion was typical Yankee. If circum-
stances had led him to take up move
ment that had the root of permanence,
he would have been figure of national
Importance today, instead of merely a

A little booklet on Current Reading
has come to our desk in which it is sug-
gested that as the pure food agitation
has caused a useful comparison between
pure and impure foods, why is it not also
time to compare the purity of the books
and periodicals entering the American
home. The point is we'll taken. Impure
food poisons the body; impure literature
poisons the mind. Of this class of liter
ature are the society novels of Robert W.
Chambers recently published in the Sat-
urday Evening Post, a paper that has
gained more than a million readers by an
altogether different class of reading. 1t
was mistake in judgment Of the editor
of the Post to admit such pernicious
stuff TO his columns. Only the other day

An article on the End page on "Ships
That Have Passed." in which is noted
the decline in various lines of employ
ment for our merchant vessels and the
impending transfer of the coal carrying
trade to steamers, must lead TO the con-
clusion that unless something is done to
remedy existing conditions our merchant
marine is doomed to practical extinction.
The friends of the American ship in Con-
gress have labored increasingly for sub
sidy measures, but the word subsidy has
baleful sound to many who might favor
aid to cur merchant marine under some
other name. In conversation the other
evening with Capt. j. 0. Hayes, an OBJ
serving and experienced master mariner,
he remarked that if in making the treaty
with Cuba this country had stipulated
that the carrying trade of the Gem Of
the Antilles should be done in Cuban OF
American built vessels there would be nc
need of subsidies. To designate the flag
would not be sufficient, as that woulc
open the door to outside competition.
There are vessels in our coasting trade
today that are owned or controlled in the
Provinces, and English tramp steamers
find no difficulty in changing their flag
when they can profit by such transfer.

A. Dana, who had been associated with
Horace Greeley on the New York Trib-
une and editor of Republican daily in
Chicago. Under his guidance the Sun
rapidly advanced in circulation, in inf1u
ence and in business. Its independence,
it's crisp, clean-cut diction, its mastery
condensation in both the editorial and
news departments, and the excellence of
it's art and literary departments, won for
it a unique and commanding position in
American journalism. To have worked
on the New York Sun" was distinction
for the newspaper man equal to that of
the Victoria cross for the soldier. One
of Eugene Fields clever poems recog-
nized this fact, which none will dispute.
When Charles A. Dana passed away the
Sun was not left rudderless and adrift.
William NJ Laffan, his associate and
intimate, we'll equipped for the duties
laid down by his chief, took the helm and
kept the Sun on the course that had won
it fame and fortune. Now he has been
taken, and the tributes paid to him as
man, as scholar and as journalist, are
no less laudatory than those paid to his
distinguished predecessor. Now who
will succeed Laffan? 1t goes without
saying that there are bright men on the
staff of the Sun. 1t could not be other
wise, for no one man could be all in all to
a great daily newspaper. l t may be that
a Maine man will succeed Dana and Laf-
fan, for E. P Mitchell. formerly of Bath,
has long been recognized as one Of the
ablest of the Suns editorial writers.

DEAD MISER WAS
ART CONNOISSEUR
SOME OF THE FINEST ARTTREAs-
UREs IN EXISTENCE MAY BE
THROWN ON MARKET.

London, Dec. 15.-Some of the finest
art treasures in existence may come
into the market through the death Of
George Sailing in this city yesterday,
and art circles are greatly stirred over
the prospect.
Sailing was Dane and inherited a
great Australian fortune. His whole
life and income were devoted to the
examination and purchase of works of
art, and he became one of the best
known collectors in Europe. Apart
from this passion, Sailing was misery.
He lived frugally in two rooms which
were crowded with priceless treasures.
Popular report credited hem with hav-
ing never given a cent to charity and
of never spending one unnecessarily on
his personal needs. Salting's collection
of porcelains on loan in the Kensington
museum, is the finest, perhaps, In the
world Many paintings owned by him
now hang in the national gallery. Mu-
scum directors made IL a practice to
refrain from bidding against the eccen-
trio man at sales because they believed
that his collection would be bequeathed
to the nation. However, one OF the con-
noisseurs' eccentricities was a reluc-
lance to make will and 1T is not
known whether he ever made one. Ac
cordingly the museum officials are
somewhat disturbed lest the precious
collection be disposed of through the
auction rooms.

THREE GOVERNORS ATTEND
SUGGESTS IN HIS ADDRESS THAT
WATERWAYS ASSOCIATIONS
SHOULD GET ToGETHER-FA-
VoRs ISSUANCE OF BONDS TO
IMPROVE WATERWAYS.

Omaha, Dec. 15.--The Missouri
River Navigation congress- began a
two days annual session here yester-
day with three governors and $50 dele
gates present. Governor Burke OF
North Dakota, president of the con-
gress, presided. Delegations are pres
ent from Kansas City. ST. Joseph,
Sioux City, Pierre. Bismarck, Fort
Benton, font, Omaha and other
Missouri river points. Governor Shall
ienberger Of Nebraska, Governor
Wesley Of South Dakota, and Mayor
James G. Dahlman were speakers.
Governor Burke suggested that the
National Rivers and Harbors associa-
ton, the Lake to the Gulf WATERWAYS
association and other simiIa- orRani-
cations work together for the sec,lr-
Ing of navigation. He expressed the
belief that the people would be iusti-
fed in issuing bonds for the improve
ment Of waterways, JUST as they had
for the construction Of the Panama
canal. The greatest obstacle to the
improvement Of these inland water
ways. he said, was the magnitude Of
the work and the money it would cost.
but he believed congress should meet
the issue squarely and could not be-
gin too soon.

CLIFFORD PINcHoT SUGGESTS
THEY CAN TAKE ACTIVE PART
REFoREsTATIoN.

Chicago, Dec. 15.--The purchase OF
timber lands and the reforestation by
the railroads Of the United States was
urged here today by Clifford Pinchot,
chief forester of the department of
agriculture. He was speaking at a
conference OF presidents and officials
Of the leading railroads of the country.
Mr.. Pinchot suggested the scheme as
a means to preserve the forests of the
country and at the same time to pro-
vide railroad ties and posts for future
use.
In reply to the suggestions made by
Mr.. Pinchot, President Nudge, OF the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific. de-
clared that in view OF the possibility
that within fifty years the railroads
OF the government might be under
government ownership the national
government should provide for the fu-
ture needs Of the railroads.

of Wisconsin, told OF the work that
has been done in that state.
