The policy of the state respecting public
education has been changed SO that tax of
one mill on dollar is laid upon the entire
valuation of the state. Under this school
mill tax act 1864, ,2S7.33 was paid out of the
state treasury last year. We do not under
take to defend or condemn the law; but Oh
account of it the tax which towns is required
to raise has been reduced and the towns get
the benefit of every dollar oft. By another
change in our school policy $41,S64 was
paid last year to aid free high schools.
Since the good old Democratic days, the
needs Or our school system have demanded
normal schools for the instruction of teach
ers. The expenditure for these schools in
1875 was $4,000, which included extensive
repairs on buildings. Thus the state expend-
ed last year for the promotion of common
schools $424, ISL. In 1875 the state paid out
$4,000 to support insane paupers, an expense
which in 1856 wholly deyolved upon the
towns. Deduct these sums 1851, ISL from
tie balance of expenditure after paying the
war liabilities and there is balance of $780,
63S. This is not a large sum with which to
run the various institutions which the state
maintains, charitable, educational, retorma-
tory and penal, and the state government.
The government OF the state of Maine is run
economically. The legislature may have been
more liberal than many have thought wise,
but that liberalty did not amount to more
than $4,000 the past year. and the money
was devoted to noble charities like the Maine
General Hospital, the Girls Industrial School,

Current Notes.

AS to Mr.. Robson, let him be impeached
Immediately, and brought to trial if he has
been guilty of the violations of law which
Democratic committees are charging so free
ly upon him. But if the Democrats fail to
impeach him, which they have full power to
do, then they cannot expect that their parti-
san documents for campaign circulation.
shall command the respect of thinking people.
Chicago Tribune.
Secretary Robson gets vigorous defense
at the hands of the Republican minority in
the Naval Committee. They find that for
some ,lings he observes the thanks of the
entire country" while in none has he been
guilty ''of any official misconduct or corrup-
ton, or any wilful violation of law" The
criticisms of the minority on the majority
report seem just enough. In spots that nom
partisan document reads more like an article
from a third-class Democratic newspaper
than an official report to the House of Rep
resentatives. Whether the conclusions of
the minority are also sound remains to be
seen.-N. Y. Tribune.
That long-delayed letter of acceptance sug-
gests that the Democratic candidates are in
the position of the captain and mate who
were navigating a schooner along the Sound.
The captain was steering when the mate
went aft and proffered certain advice as to
the course, which offended the superior Off
Ger, who cried out "Mate Tompkins, you
jest 60 forward and tend to your end of this
skinner, and Ill tend to mine." The mate
went forward, and there was plunge in the
water, accompanied with the information,
Captain Jones, my end of the skinner is at
anchor" The moral of which comes in the
form of question: Has Hendricks anchored
his end Of the schooner?-Ne,o York Nail.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, having heard
rumor that Governor Hendricks is to be
crowded off the ticket to make way for
hard money man, is put in bad and dan
gerous temper thereby, and asserts in its
usual picturesque style that no Contemplate
tin whistle statesman" like Morrison of Illi-
inois is wanted On the ticket, and adds:
Mr.. Hendricks. so far as any public dec!ara-
ton indicates, isn't so much on the ticket
that these gentlemen need be talking very
loudly of getting him off; and if the friends
of thumb-screw currency legislation choose to
take away from the friends of currency reform
the chief excuse for supporting the action
of the st. Louis convention, there is no law
against it,"

ELSEWHERE will be found an article re-
printed from the Advertiser, which sets forth
the reasons given by the Bddeford Committee
for refusing their support to the candidate
for Congress nominated by the Republican
District Convention, and which answers
them fully and conclusively. 1t will be a
matter of lasting regret TO such of that
committee as are honorable men, that thew
have allowed themselves under the influence
of disappointed feeling to participate in a
public attack upon the nominee of the party
they profess to care for. If any of them are
really in earnest in their professions of regard
for the Republican party, they will also
regret that they have joined in a proceeding
which, if it has any effect at all, will inure
to the benefit of the Democratic party. But
the honest voter of this District is not going
to be beguiled by any specious reasons from
the true issues of this campaign, and is not
to be led even by the most skillful blind-folding
into the Democratic camp. The plain truth
is that this is contest between the Pepub.
lican and the Democratic parties, and is of
natlonal character and importance, and what
ever Injuries the one helps the other. All the
reasons presented by the Manifesto, with
the cogent reasons on the other side, were
duly presented to the only appropriate tri-
bunal which could pass on them-the Con-
vention chosen by the Republicans of this
District. That tribunal has decided the
question, and upon that decision we must
act. 1t is entirely beyond belief that any
true Republican, merely because he could not
have his own way, will so act as to send to
Congress reinforcement to the Confederate
elements which threaten so much disaster to
this nation. Our duty now is to meet the
enemy and achieve such victory as will
inspirit our brethren in other states, such
victory and so complete as that with which
Maine has been wont to lead the Republican
column.

and the large number of testimonials which are con-
stantly being received from persons who have been
cured by its use, conclusive proof of its great
value 1t is recommended by physicians and apoth-
ecaries. As Blood-Purifier and Health-Restorer,
it has no equal.
VEGETINE is not prepared for a fancy drink made
from poor liquors. which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the differ
ent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable persons
suffering from disease that they can be cured? Read
the different testimonials given, and no one can
doubt. In many of these the persons say that
their pain and suffering not be expressed in
cases of Scrofla where. apparently, the whole body
was one mass of corruption. If VEGETINE will re-
eve pam, cleanse, purify and such diseases,
storing the patient to perfect health after trying diff
ferent physicians, many remedies suffering for years,
is it not conclusive proof if you sufferer, you
can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the Cir
culatfng fluid. 1t can be truly called the Great
ates in the blood; and medicine that does not act
directly upon it. to purify and renovate has any just
claim upon public attention. When the blood be-
comes ifeless and stagnant either from change of
weather climate want of exercise, irregular diet,
or from any other cause, the VEGETINE will renew
the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the
stomach, regulate the bowels and impart a tone of
vigor to the whole body. The conviction is, in the
public mind well in the medical profession that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom
more safe, more successful in the cure of disease
than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of
roots barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and
is perfectly safe give infant. Do you need it?
Do not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it,

PilIsbury's Effr0ntery.


During ten years of democratic rule in Maine the
state taxes were less than So, 100000. During ten
years of Republican rule they have been over $12,
000,000 An increase of MORE THAN SIX HUNDRED
PER CENT. Do you think change would do any
harm?-1faine Standard.
The above item has been made to do duty
on several occasions and has been noticed by
Republican papers frequently. The Standard
assumes that the party in power is RESPONSE
BILE for the increase of taxation in Maine
Eben Pillsbury assumes that the people of
Maine are fools. Look at the expenditures
of the last years of Democratic rule in Maine
and the years of Republican rule previous to
the war-the taxation was no higher in the
latter than in the former period. How came
it to be increased afterwards? Does Mr.. E.
F. Pillsbury imagine that the people of Maine
have forgotten? They have not and they
will not SO long as he and Marcellus Emery
live to publish papers and manage political
party. The people of Maine know that they
are burdened with state and municipal taxes
to-day because of four years war for which
Democrats are responsible. They know, too,
that Eben F. Pillsbury not only did his ut
most to bring the United States authorities
into contempt during that war but that he
was one of the number in Maine who gave
the rebel leaders in the South encourage
ment. They kno@ that through the infu-
ence of such men as Eben F. Pills
bury and Marcellus Emery and such
malignant sheets as the Franklin Patriot and
Bangor Democrat, the war was of four in
stead Of t,vo gears duration. Now the same
man of odious record calls attention to the
increase of taxation in Maine, as though he
and his party were not responsible for it.
The expenditures of the state for the year
ending Decemcer 81, 1875, were $1,56S, ,775.-
45. Of that amount the following items are
to pay liabilities arising from the Democratic
rebellion supported by Pillsbury & Co..

AFTER sleeping on the Hamburg massacre
for some weeks the argus philosophers
thus:
1t is not strange perhaps that northern
men should judge their southern brethren by
themselves; and when we see one who de-
nounces southern men, even the best, as
little less than arrant hypocrites and devils.
we know just where the gall and bitterness
comes from. 1t is reflex of the denun-
GATORS own nature. 1t is taking the SOUTH
ern man to be just what he would be under
similar circumstances. Instead of being
angry, therefore, with these natural vipers.
we rather feel to pity, and to pray for their
change of heart to higher tone aud more
charitable view.
Praying for the conversion of being who
is hypocrite, devil and natural viper at the
same time is very arduous role for de5u-
tent in piety. Tell us how you get along.
