The Baltimore Sun has a marine poet
whose rhymes are pleasing reading to
one once familiar with the water front
of the Monumental City. They recall
memories of Light street dock, that
somewhat unsavory basin in which the
writer once upon a time took an invol-
untary bath; of the succulent vegetables
and luscious fruits, the oysters 'sala-
cious dabs of appetizing jelly the
pan fish brought to Baltimore from the
shores and waters of Chesapeake bay; of
the clipper fruiters, the cotton laden
steamers, the bugeyes and other bay
craft. Here is specimen verse:
Carolina coming to Baltimore,
Green stuff up from the Eastern Shore;
Pratt street pavement apple chin high,
With fruit of the gardens of dream that lie
Down where tie rivers of ripple rest
And the old wharves sleep on the bays blue
breast;
Carolina coming to Baltimore,
Cantaloupes, melons and sugar corn;
Peaches and berres-and DER and DER,
The breath and the bloom of the wales of
morn.

The Boston Transcript says that every
town in Massachusetts but three has a
free library, and two of the three have
free library rights in adjoining towns.
We doubt if any other State can equal
this Speaking of libraries, the Belfast
free library is in urgent need of more
room and better facilities for handling
the increasing stock of books. The build
ing was so constructed that an addition
may be added at the rear, but the money
to supply this need is wanting and can
only come from private benefactor.
Turf, Farm and Home is persistently
and consistently advocating the import
ance of drainage on Maine farms. 1t is
proposition that does not admit of argu
ment; for, to use an old-time saying, the
argument like the handle of a jug, is all
on one side. One of our most successful
truck growers, Mr. A B. Stantial is I'M
derdraining his farm in this city, although
as it lays mainly on a slope this might
not be considered necessary. That good
deal Of rich swamp land may be reclaimed
by drainage is evident.

In an editorial on ''The New Voter and
Tammany'' Harper's Weekly tells in
plain and forceful language what and
why is Tammany. We quote as follows
A covenant with graft and an agree
ment with crime-that, in the blunt, is
Tammany, and has been for half a cen
fury; shameful, greedy, dishonest, dis
honored organization. And it is with
that that the young Democrat in New
York is invited to cast in his lott
Is Tammany Democratic? No more
than it is Mohammedan. 1t has no po-
litical convictions or even prejudices. 1t
exists to control the government of the
city of New York and find profit in it.
But it controls all the Democratic poIiti-
cal machinery in New York. From that
city Democrat cannot go to the As
sembly, the State Senate, to Congress,
to a Democratic convention of any kind,
unless Tammany orders him sent. If the
order is given and he does go, he must
vote as Fourteenth Street orders on any
measure in which Tammany takes an in
terest. 1t is not only that young Demo-
crat in New York City who stays outside
of Tammany cannot hope to have any
share in the government of the city, but
he cannot get chance at the politics of
the State or the nation So the youth in
New York of Democratic propensities
who will not accept Tammany must
either stay out of active politics or be-
come Republican, and he is very apt to
do the latter.
The Boston firm of Sederquist, Barry
& Co., formerly Curtis & Sederquist,
which recently went into bankruptcy,
was supposed to be doing a legitimate
banking and brokerage business; but a
committee appointed by the creditors has
reported as the result of these investiga-
lions that the business of the firm was
of the "bucketshop" type, in which the
possible earnings were nullified by pri-
vate speculations, and the reported
credit balances did not exist. Evidence
is reported that Harry F. Curtis may be
held accountable to the creditors to the
extent of $125, 600 which were withdrawn
from the firm at time when it probably
was insolvent, and the report raises a
question of over 500, 600 which are alleg-
ed to be due New York firm which Mr..
Curtis started; how this account has
been settled is mystery. It was also
in evidence that in fifteen months Mr..
Sederquist had drawn $685. for his
personal expenses, that he allowed his
wife $4,000 per year for household

1t has been suggested that when the
Penobscot Bay Electric company succeeds
the Belfast Gas & Electric company there
will be a plant available for new indus

latter company at the mouth of Goose
river This includes both steam and
water power good shipping facilities,
and an ice privilege which in the right
hands might be made valuable. At no
other place on the coast can ice be cut

and shipments may be made at any time
of the year.

Hardee and Alexander.

Some weeks ago the two representa-
tives from Volusia county had a per-
sonal alteration in the lobby of the
Leon hotel, which was followed by
quite lengthy point of personal priv
ilege" from both duringa session of the
lower branch of the legislature. Rep
resentative Alexander and his col
league, Representative Macon Thorn
ton, abused each other until, by mo-
ton, the regular order of business was
resumed. During the abuse Thornton
read a letter signed by Representative
w. r. Hardee, of st. Lucie county, in
which he charged Alexander with APP
pearing before a committee and stating
that he wanted certain measure to be
reported favorable by this committee
and passed by the house of repsenta-
tives just to give him a boost in volusia
county, and that he had arranged to
haye said measure killed in the Senate.
This accusation ended the ::'personal
privilege abuse" at that time without
allowing Alexander time to reply.
Now comes Mr.. Hardee's bill seeking
a way to keep stock from running at
large, termed ''no fence law" Both
Hardee and Thornton, who charged AL
exander ofattempting legislation mere
ly for personal reasons, fought hard for
the passage of this bill, while Alexan-
der, and Dupont, of St. Johus county,
bitterly opposed it. A satisfied, conf
dent expression played upon the coun-
tenance of both representatives oppos-
ing the measure, and this became self
explanatory when Alexander, after q
very eloquent appeal, began his ''per-
sonal privilege" again, reading letter
signed by three members of the COM
mittee on miscellaneous Legislation
which stated that the Hon. w. r. Har-
dee, of st. Lucie county, had stated to
them that the reason he wanted this
law enacted was, that his neighbor had
an old horse that continually ate up his
pineapples and that he wished to COM
pei his neighbor to keep his horse up.
Thus Mr.. Alexander satisfied the
members of the house of representatives.
thatthere was sufficient personal legis-
latiop contained in this measure; and
by the reconsideration of the vote by
which it passed the House at first it
was hopelessly defeated.
Mr.. Alexander says that he believes
that "people who live in glass houses
should not throw stones, and thus far
has proved it fatal in this instance
