The Rockland Free Press takes grounds
against capital punishment. 1t thinks
that since the adjustment of the death
penalty We have only had about the
average number of murders. 1t believes
lllemplisonment is working well in this
State, and that the recent cases of muir
der or attempted murder prove nothing
to the contrary. "IIaynes in attempting
to escape from the State Prison" says the
Free Press, ''haZarded his own life and
received bullet through his body. lie
would have killed an officer for the same
object and faced the gallows Just as read-
~ as he did the rifle of the guard If the
boys accused of numbering a little com
panlon at Rockport are guilty, their age
and their ignorance, as well as other cir
cumstances, render it very improbable
that they ever considered the punish
ment of murder in this State" The Free
Press concludes a long article on the sub
ject by expressing the opinion ''that the
public are safer and better protected
with the statute Of death abolished than
when it was in force" We do not agree
with it, What better argument in behalf
of capital punishment could be desired
than is afforded by the Cumberland case,
where d man murdered his brother that
he might be sent to Thomaston for life
and thus escape spending the remainder
of his days in the poor house, AS for
Haynes, it is not impossible he will yet
succeed in killing an officer or two

And now the Belfast Journal may be numbered
among the Maine papers which oppose our anti
hanging laws. Perhaps in the course Of few
weeks more when we shall probably have an addl

list, public attention may be lazly turned to the
subject, if it Isn't too hot arl there is nothing else
of interest to engage it iLewiston Gazette.
If the Gazette had been a careful
reader Of the journal it would have known

A short time since the New York World

short time since the New York World
declared that the reason no trans Allan
tic steamers sail from the port of New
York under the American flag is that the
vessels cannot be procured in this coun-
try as cheaply as in Europe, and our peo-
pie are prohibited by law from purchas-
ing them abroad. This statement is en-
phatically denied 10y Every Evening, an
able and interesting paper published at
Wilmington, 'the cradle and chief centre
Of the iron ship building industry in this
country" Every Evening says:
1t is doubtful if it does cost more to build ship
here than across the water, for the American habit
OF adopting improved machinery has steadily re
duced such difference as existed IN the past until
1t has been nearly orqute obterated and one of our
ship building companies has obtained several for
elgn orders in competition with English builders
and has, in fact, been busy for Il year almost ex-
cuslvely in building vessels for foreign waters
Doubtless some kinds of iron steamers can be
bought abroad cheaper than any kind can be
bought IN this country but, quality considered,
IRON ships can be built on the Christiana Just as
cheaply as on the Clyde and it is foolish as well
as unfair to say as the orld does that iron ships

than III England
As to the average quality of English
and American iron ships the Nautical
Gazette declares that the American ship
is worth twenty per cent. more than the
British ship, on account of her better
material, superior model and stronger
construction. The practical question in
volved in this controversy will soon be
demonstrated but to make American
ships profitable to American owners they
must enjoy all the advantages in Ameri-
can waters that English ships do in Eng
fish ports. especially in the matter of tan
alton. This once provided, We should
soon see Il modern merchant marine es-
tabllshed in this country which would be
really worthy OF a progressive people.

A Very Short Vacation,

the latter experience suffcing to reconcile one to
even the cool, showery weather which has thus far
characterized the summer our coast while as
to the former one could only wish to "go on for

graceful bulls and flashing sails of the yacht fleet

snug schooner at anchor off the Northport Camp
Ground to the sloop that fitted past in twilight,

these pleasure crafts were not in sight Some
three or four were at anchor in Camden harbor
and one, good sized soop, on board of which
there was party of ladies and gentlemen, sauted

colors and vigorous waving of handkerchiefs and
