During the past week. the Maine Legis.
lature has passed a compulsory education
Act. The act is very mild. PERHAPS too
mid TO be effectual; but considering the
slow and stately way in which our state
moves, the law is grand triumph even If
1t contains but single spark OF vitality.
Ii is nucleus. and 1t contains the formu.
lated idea that az individual ha. no right
to be wilfully and persistently ignorant.
There has also been before the Legisla-
ture the Capital Punishment Question.
Again and again this old hanging question
comes up. and again and again the Legis-
lator listens to those old stale arguments,
and then votes just the same as he would
II he had heard no argument at all. Why
not refer this matter TO the people. and let
their vote be the final decision? COUNTING
the vote OF the House and Senate together.
the result stands exactly as it stood last

"oman's Suffrage Convention. The speak
Ing was partly by men and partly by wom-
en-, and was without exception, very good
indeed. Rev. Miss Haines read A very
witty speech which was interesting ard
well received. But the arguments yener.
ally contained but little that is new. They |
were mostly misapplicarion of generally
accepted facts. This movement seems to |
be at Its height, and losing ground. 1t has
not yet recovered from the disastrous de-
