Judge Hagner, delivered to-day, it will be
seen, very important decision adverse to the
water tax recently established by the District
commissioners. The decision Is based on the
ground that the Commissioners have authority
only to establish annual rates and no authority
to apportion them to half yearly period; and
he quotes the law OF october, 1859, declaring
that these rates shall commence January 1st.
THESE rates having been paid In January for the
year 1879, the Commissioners have no authority
10 impose another rate for the period paid for.
Ii they nave right to impose a tax for Is
months In one year they have as much right to
impose IL quarterly or monthly. In conclud-
Ing, Judge Hagner suggests the question
whether court Of equity should sit quiet and
see an Illegal tax imposed upon the people
without interfering.

A Reverend Demagogue.

The Kennebunk Star, paper neutral in
politics, thus sharply and truthfully criticises
DE La Matyr's speech at Saco;
Without the slightest desire to discount the
speakers capacity we are bound to say that
we have never listened to q more unfair and
dangerous harangue than his speech. While
Mr.. De La Matyr was careful to keep within
the letter of the truth, the essence of truth
fulness was altogether. wanting. His lack
of real honesty was only equalled by his
inconsistency Condemning the financial leg
islation of the Republican party. and denoun-
cling the National Banks, he vaunted his for
mer Republcanism and eulogized Abraham
Lincoln and the rest, forgetting that these very
men were the authors of the very acts he so
savagely mathematical. 81 would not have
share of this dreadful guilt for the world,
shouted the agitated agitator, and the next
moment he boasted Of having faithfully voted
with the Republican party all through the
very period which he now stigmatizes as out
rageous and wicked. Referring to the South
the gentleman asserted that everything was
lovely. and proved it by asserting that the
Southern Senators and Representatives mlsrep-
resented their constituencies. Three or four
times with fling and innuendo, Mr.. De La
Matyr paid his respects to Senator Blaine.
First he wanted to send Blaine to Siberia, and
then out among the Pawnee Indians. Repeat
ing the stale and foolish ISLANDERS of last year
and the new ones of this year, the Indiana
statesman managed now and then to raise
laugh, but it was evident that a large proper
tion of the audience had not forgotten their
old-time admiration of the Senator. We ex-
pected to hear an address which would deal

Attention! Secretary Cove

The attention of the Hon. E. III. Cove is
invited to section AZ of chapter I'd of the
Revised Statutes, which reads as follows:
"He 1.-THE Secretary of State] shall cause all
blanks for election returns, required by law, to
be seasonably distributed to the several towns,
by delivering them to their representatives, or
other persons or officers authorized to receive
them, or by enclosing and sealing them in
packets directed to such towns and delivering
the same to the sheriffs of the counties to which
they belong-and such sheriffs shall forthlcith
deliver them to the selectmen, assessors, or
clerks of such towns, and take their receipts
therefor.
!fany Secretary or sheriff neglects this duty,
he shall forfeit one hundred dollars for each Of
fence"
Apropos of the above, Sheriff Dresser in
forms us that he has received no blanks yet,
and that several of the towns in this county
have been asking for them, from which we
infer that they have not been sent through
any other legal channel.
We would suggest that the Secretary sus-
pend his campaign work and attend to his
official duties during this the last day before
election, so that the several towns may be
provided with the necessary blanks for Mon
days returns.
Had he shown as much zeal in attending
TO his official duties as he has in drawing
checks payable to Col. Harper and other
Greenback orators, and in delivering fiat
speeches, this article need not to have been
written.
The Portland daily press., 1879-09-06

THIS is how Major Smith looked to the
prophetic eyes of the argus little over a
year ago:
"Workinemans' candidate for, say the
office of Governor, is more than likely TO pc
a man who has never had any experience in
public duties, or some demagogue who uses
the Workingmens party simply as a stepping
stone to his own advancement and its subse-
quent betrayal. Because man has become
skilled in some particular branch OF labor or
has by any means, become popular among his
fellow laborers, it no more follows that he
would make o good Governor than that sue
cessful financier would make good general of
an army, OF an eminent college professor a
practical bank president, and if by any turn Of
the political wheel of fortune, such an un-
trained man should be selected to an impor-
tant or responsible position, it requires no very
far.seeing intelligence to see in the light Of
past experience, the bad results which are
pretty sure to follow.-Argus, Jan. s, 1878.
WHAT IT THOUGHT OF THE NATIONAL PARTY.
Recent events have demonstrated beyond
the shadow of a doubt that financial questions
are to form q by no means secondary element
in the future politics of this country. The prom
inent and influential men of both parties havh
disagreed upon the money question, and thoug
the conservative elemen thas thus far succeeded
in shaping financial legislation, it is impossible,
nor is it good policy to shut ones eyes to the fact
Unat Ino country contains u large class OF pcO-
pie thoroughly imbued with extreme and in
some respects dangerous notions as regards cur
rency matters, and who manifest persistence
and courage in proclaiming their views worthy
of a better cause.-Argus, Apr 10, 1878.
WHAT IT THOUGHT OF REFUNDING.
The four per cents. will proba bly, never be
come very popular in Maine. Our savings
banks offer quite as safe investments, at bet
ter rate but in the Middle and Western States
where confidence in savings banks and kindred
institutions has lately been so sorely tried, a

WHAT IT THOUGHT OF BoNDHoLDERs.
The feelings of hostility and hatred towards
those who happen to hold their means wholly
or in part invested in Government securities,
which are entertained by large class at the
West and South is, to say the least, unfortu-
nate and bodies little good to the country
The chief grievance appears to be
that the holders of some of these bonds pur-
chased them for less than par, some as low as
40 cents on the dollar. By the same logic the
man who in 1862 bought property for $4,000.
and now charges rest at the rate of $4,000 IS

political demonstrations ever held in this

and predicted the ruin of the country Year
after year events have proved him mistaken.
He sounds the same wall again, and it de-
serves just as little heed as has been paid to
it in the past. Gen. Anderson gave eloquent
tongue to his discomfort, as he always does.

Mr.. EBEN f. PILLsBURY is entitled to
this word: No Greenback orator in all this
campaign has made so many reckless mis-
statements and misleading statements as
he has Not all the demagogues and wild
haranguers on finance which have come
from abroad to preach at the people of this
State have equalled our own Maine dema-
gogue He is unapproachable, unsurpass-
able In him Maine has product that
beats the world.
