A LEGISLATIVE report on the Maine State Col
lege of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts
shows that the work accomplished by the insti-
tuition hardly justified the expense to the state;
and it is suggested that it should limit its course
of instruction to branches of study more nearly
related to agriculture and the mechanic arts
even if it is compelled to omit French and Ger
man and the higher mathematics; to charge
tuition for instructions, and to limit it's expendi-
lures to its income. The legislature is consider
ing bill which restricts the course of study to
three years, and does away with some of the
branches now taught.
IT is coming to an acknowled fact that strict
punishment of persons convicted of minor
offenses is not always the best means of secur-
ing their reformation. A new method is being
tried in Boston and is said to be attended with
very encouraging results. Under this new sys-
tenn when they commit their first offense they
are placed under police surveillance and direct
ed to report at stated intervals, instead of being
thrown into prison, and thus subjected to dis
grace and degradation that destroys one of the
chief incentives to an earnest, sef-reformatory
effort.

THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The continued progress of the Texas Pa
cifc railroad without dollar OF govern
ment aid, has been as surprising as crafty.
ing. Ex-Gov. Brown, vice-president of the
road, was before the senate committee on
railroads, last Thursday, urging an extern
sion of the time for finishing the road,
which is now fixed for the year 1889.
He informed the committee that the road
will be completed to Ell Paso by the first of
January, 1883, and when that point is
reached'the company will have constructed
S22 miles of its main line, and be operating
total of 1,O44 miles of railroad for which it
will not have received an acre of land or
dollar of money from the general govern
ment, although the government has the
same privilege to regulate rates for trans
portation and same right of priority of use
of all portions of this road for military and
postal purposes that the United States en-
joys in regard to the Union Pacific and
Central Pacific roads, which were literally
aided from the start. He pointed out that
the remainder of the line, viz: 77S miles
from Ell Paso to San Diego, is the only por-
ton to which the land grant attaches. The
ten years fixed by congress for the compile
ton Of the road to San Diego, will expire in
May, 1882, but the company claims that in
asmuch as it suspended operations only by
reason Of the panic of 1878, and the gen
eral consequence Of that panic, and as it
will have invested fifty millions of private
capital in the enterprise before it reaches
the Immigrant at FL Paso, the justice of
congress may be confidently invoked to
authorize such an extension Of time as will
enable the company to complete its work
with proper economy and without attempt
ing to rush it through at cxtravagant cost.
The extension asked for ought to be, and
doubtless will be granted.

SENATOR LOGAN declares, and with much
truth, no doubt, that the associated press, as
represented in Chicago, suppresses all news
favorable to Grant. Heretofore the associ-
ted press has been an instrument of great
power in behalf of the Republican party.
Even the Democratic newspapers of the
country have been agencies in its hands to
forward Republican schemes, aggrandize
Republican statesmen and to smirch the
characters Of leading Democrats. Now

AN anti-third term movement is taking
shape in St. Louis. If this movement had
been inagurated in Ohio, In Illinois or any
other Republican state, it might, even now,
be the source of great uneasiness to the
Grant element of the Republican party,
But il the Missouri delegation to Chicago
be secured for Grant, his friends will not
care nickle if every Republican IN Mis-
souri, votes the Democratic ticket. Itwould
not affect the general result a particle. If,
however, such movement could win the
endorsement of $4,000 or 10000 Republi-

mated, would inevitably be defeated, and

groundwork for that belief They have
witnessed and experienced its effects for
over twenty-five years, and have found no
reason to distrust one statement made in re-

home TO their own hearths that it is fam.
lily medicine which is Of the utmost value
in cases of malaria, dyspepsia, debility, dis.
ordered conditions OF the liver and bowels,

have found 1t competent tonic, genuine
Alternative, and in contrasting it with the
many preparations Of the same class in the

AMONG the most frutless efforts OF Re-
publican leaders, orators and newspapers, is
the effort to entrap into the support of the
Grant movement, considerable number OF
Irish Democrats. If the Irish voter knows
one thing in politics better than another, it
is the fact that the Republican party abb
sorbed more than nine-tenths of the old
Know Nothing party, and stands to-day in
an unfrendly attitude to the foreign-born
element of our people, In Rhode Island
where the Republicans hold unrestricted
control, more than one.fourth of the popu-
lation is disfranchised, and for no other rca-
son, avowed or real, than the fact that that
element Of population happened to be born
on foreign soil, and is poor in the matter of
dollars andscents. Year after year the few
Democrats of the state have protested
against the enormity Of the law, and de.
manded its repeal; but the law stands, and
is likely to stand as long as the Republ-
can party is, as it now is and is likely to
remain, in complete and undisputed con-
troll Of every department of the state gov.
eminent.
