The room occupied by the printers was about
20 BY 30 feet. The presses were worked by
steam power. Many of the boys who are
discharged from this department readily
find employment as printers. The younger
and smarter ones. both male and female are
profitably employed on sewing machines,
making clothing for contractors and the
several Institutions. There are SO sewing
machines in the male prisoners workroom.
The room furnishes employment for a
number of male prisoners finishing the
clothing after it is through the machines
This department stated by the superintend-
ent gave an income the past year to the city
of S25 900 This constituted all there was

machines were run BY steam power in a room
from 40 to 80 feet square, and the superin-
tendent stated that many of those at the ex-
piration of their sentence found employ ment

Association, reached this city with their
canoe, having padded up the river from Gar

the steamer ''Star of the East, from Boston.
These gentleman after their arrival here,
transported their canoe around the dam and
camped out for the night on the bank of the
river just above the dam. They carry full
stock of provisions and camping apparatus
with them. The gentlemen will proceed
up the river in the canoe until Moose

will cross over to Lake Megantic by way
of Moose river there being but comparative

Ben Butler and 4 Paw.

Immediately Cd receiving the information
that Harvard College had refused to present
him with an IL. d. diploma, Governor
Butler sent messenger to Forepaugh,
whose circus was exhibiting in Boston at that
time, requesting that a front row of seats be
reserved for himself and staff. for the even
ing's performance-B Trareiler
The Concord School of Philosophy and the
Monday Lectureship have wrestled with many
profound problems Of life and thrown them,
figuratively speaking, over the ropes. but
neither Frank Sauborn. Secretary" nor
Rev. Joseph Cook has ever attempted to
solve the riddle-Why does the circus con-
tnue to flourish? The dog addicted to
chasing the>tip of his own tail is far more
likely to come up with it than is the pro-
foundest philosopher to answer this conun-
drum. Governor Butler is bold man, full
of resource and ingenuity, but it will not
have escaped notice that. in mis- reckless
onslaughts upon established customs and
usages he has never ventured to assail the
circus. With what alertness to every
opportunity for making political capital
which distinguishes him, it surprises nobody
to hear that he had taken two rows of reserved
seats for himself and staff for Forepaugh's
circus. Indeed, we should not be surprised
TO hear that he delivered the prizes
to the successful equestrians in person.
We forget in which of his recent
speeches it was that he said, mo people
ever lost their liberties who had a circus
with thousand living wild beasts" 1t was
a shrewd piece of demagogery, nicely calcula-
ted to catch the floating circus vote. He
shrewdly sees that the people who vote for
one party or the other, for tariff for revenue
only. or revenue for tariff only, or for only
without tariff or revenue, are, after all, but
small fraction of the electorate. as compared
with that vast body of voters whose creed it
is. The Constitution and the Circus, one and
inseparable, now and forever" 1t small
matter to him whether he becomes an l. l. ID.
or not, mere side-show, as it were, eompar-
ed with the vastly more momentous question
of whe ther he shall lose the great independent
circus vote. As the Herald has often remark
ed, the voters that stand between the two par
ties, and care nothing for either. really con-
troll elections. And every mothers son of
them goes to the circus. Ii is thus easily seen
that the succession to the Presidency is, in its
last analysis, purely matter of the circus.

Valuation OF the Edwards mtg Cos
Property.

Property.
There appears to be considerable dissatis-
faction among the stockholders of the Ed
wards Mfg Co. and others, with the valuation
placed upon the company's property in this
city by the assessors. Thsrsdav evening
there was an informal meeting held in the
city by few stockholders and others inter-
ested. Mr. Jacob Edwards, treasurer of the
company, was present. II was held that the
valuation placed upon the property was
not equitable as compared with like property
in other towns. The Bates mills are brought
up in comparison These mills, i, is asserted
are worth 81 GOO, 900. yet the tax valuation
is but 81, 0oO, 200, or Sl5.a spindle, being a
valuation of SO per cent of their actual
value. On the other hand it is said that the
valuation of $3.50. SCI placed upon the property
of the Edwards Mfg Co. in this city by the
assessors, is 200 per cent. or double its real
value, that the machinery in the factory
here is so antiquated and worn that its value
is vastly less than that of the improved ma
chinery of to-day; that the id, a that the prop.
erty is worth a tenth part of all the
property in the city,as the valuation would in
dicate.is pre- posterous one. The company as
sert that the value of the property so assessed
taxes them of cent per yard on the cloth
or one-half the profit, which is more than they
can stand under. We understand that the
company will Immediately stop work on all the
improvements which are underway around
the mills. We have no doubt that
the assessors have used their best
Judgment in making the valuation

lie money for e purposes elsecur-
ing patronage and Influence; often a
legislator bought the taffy of news
paper by bestowing upon it the en-
tire number of subscriptions to
which be was entitled. The original
intent of giving 10 each member
number of subscriptions was, no
doubt, that he should distT ibute
them throughout the Territory that
he might keep himself informed as
to the wants of the entire Territory,
az well as of his own section. Thus
II should be, but many former iogis-
lstors have been so little concerned
in the affa rs of the Territory and so
largely engrossed in self that they
have not scrupled to use the public
money for purely selfish purposes.
Today there are about eighteen
newspapers ia the Territory, and
each Legislator should be supplied
with a copy of each paper and no
more. If a legislator wishes TO ia
vor papers that have favored him,
let him do it at his own expense; il
he wants special fog horn to toot
his merits, let him buy it with his
own money. The people of the Ter
ritory have paid enough for poll
tics. They have contributed liberal
ly for political purposes and to elect
the honorable gentlemen who rep
resent them in Prescott; they are
perfectly willing, we think. to edu-
cate those gentlemen as to the needs
of the entire Territory, but they are
net willing that the public funds
should be used, squandered, in pur-
chasing influence or paying for per-
sonal services. The coming legisla-
ture will be an important one. 1t
has important work to do in con-
serving the interests of the entire
Territory, and its members will be
marked by the public with more
than ordinary concern as to the part
they take in the various schemas
that are sure to present themselves
for the purpose of illegitimately dis
posing OF the public funds.
