IT is not the Lady Huberton divided skirt, ,
after all, which Mrs. King, the emissary of the
British Rational Dress Association, is trying to
introduce into this country. The Huberton gar
ment Mrs. King scornfully describes as petit
coat for each leg, with no advantages over the
ordinary petticoat Her dress, the rational
dress, which she proposes to have American
women wear, consists of trousers, plain and un-
deniable trousers, with skirt over them In
what respect the King trousers differ from the
Bloomer costume it is not easy to gather from
the printed description; but remembering the
fate of the latter dress, it may be predicted that
Mrs. Kings success will be of the sporadic order

The educational bill as it passed the SEN
ate differs in many essential particulars
from the bill as introduced by Senator
Blair. Originally the amount to be appro-
priated was $105, ZOO, 900, but the Republi-
can caucus cut this down to $77,000, 900.
The time in which the money is to disribu-
ted was also reduced from ten TO eight
years. As passed the bill provides that ST.
600, COO shall be divided among the States
for the purpose of common school education,
in the next eight years, according to illitera-
cy, upon the basis of the census of 1880, I'M
der certain conditions. These conditions
are briefly that the States receiving the mon
ey shall maintain schools for all children
without distinction of color or race; that
dve-sixths Of each States quota shall be ex-
pended for instruction in the common Eng
lish branches, the remaining sixth to be de-
voted to normal schools If the State sees fit
that none of the money shall be used for
building schoolhouses; that it shall be used
as far as possible to equalze the school priv
ileges of all children in each of the States
that no greater sum shall be paid to any
State for any one year than that State her
self raised the year before out of her own
revenues for school purposes. The bill has
yet 10 60 to the House, and the outlook at
present is that it will not secure considera-
ton in that body during the present session.

The Republican caucuses In this city for
the choice of delegates to the State and Dis
trict Conventions will be held next Monday
night. The District Convention will meet
in this city next week Wednesday, and the
State Convention will meet in Bangor two
weeks later. If we correctly understand the
terms of the call six delegates to each con-
vention will be chosen in each ward caucus,
and the delegates to each convention are to
meet at time appointed to choose three ad-
ditional delegates making the full represen-
tation of the city in each convention 45.

DIR. +. I'll. Gerrish of this city and of the
Bowdoin College class of '66 contributes to
the Orient an article entitled "The Alumni
and the Overseers," in which, after reciting
what has been done and attempted in the
matter Of giving the alumni voice in the
election of the Overseers, and expressing his
opinion that if there should be general
movement OF the graduate body in favor of
eiecting the Overseers, the present board
would acquiesce, he says that two years
would then be required to obtain necessary
favorable action by the legislatures of this
State and Massachusetts, both of which
must consent to the change, and he sug-
gests, as preferable scheme, ''that the
alumni endeavor to effect, by legislative
means, such modification of the charter as
shall utterly abolish the Board of Overseers,
and allow the graduates OF the college to
elect the trustees by direct ballot" In sup
port of this plan he urges that the Board OF
OVerseers, composed of forty-ive members,
is too unwieldly to properly attend to its bus
mess, that it is almost impossible, except at
commencement, 10 get together quorum to
transact any business, that the burden
is on SO many shoulders that individual
members think lightly of their responsible
ty, and as result important works badly
done or left undone." He maintains further
that the Board is unnecessary and obstruc-
tive, having no originating power; but sim
ply the power of vetoing what the Trustees
may propose. If the Board of Overseers
should be abolished, he would have the gov
eminent of the college vested iu twelve
Trustees chosen by the alumni, one-fourth
of them to be chosen each year. This he
thinks would give simplicity continuity, and
efficiency to the college government and be
much preferable to the cumbersome ma
chinery now existing.

viction of the requirements of the case.
The important thing is to make no mistake,
and the way to avoid mistake is to make
the nomination which will most certainly
eliminate all grounds of indifference or d.
vision.
Ii it shall appear upon consultation that
the nomination of Mr.. Blaine will accomplish
tnls, certainly that conclusion OF the matter
would be most agreeable to the great body
OF Republicans in this State; but we mistake
their spirit and temper If in this exgency
they would desire to have Mr.. Blaine nomin-
ated unless the Republicans of what are con-
sidered doubtful States are practically
agreed that his nomination would be the
safest. And we have been told by gentle
men whose devotion to Mr.. Blaine is beyond
question that they are sure he would not
suffer him self to be nominated if he thought
ii would hazard victory. OF course this is a
matter of opinion and the opinions of the
sagacious Republicans in the doubtful States
are gilmore worth in such matter than those
of men who have not an equal knowledge of
the critical points.
But this at least now appears to be set
tied, that Mr.. Blains's name will be before
the convention in such way, and with such
support, that due consideration will be given
to all the conditions favorable TO bis candi-
dacy. Regarding the nature of the contest
before us that is as mucn as ought TO be de-
sired by the personal friends of any candi-
date.

Mr.. Blaine.

The events of The past three weeks make
it morally certain that Mr.. Blaine will be
one of the leading candidates before the Re-
publican National Convention. Nothing but
his own explicit aud positive action can now
prevent that. The action of Republicans in
Pennsylvania and New York, who will send
to the convention large proportion of their
delegates chosen in the expectation that
they would support Mr.. Blaine, and in many
cases specifically instructed to do so, settles
the question tina. he will be one of those
from whom the selection will be made. 1t
does not appear that this result has been
brought about by his direct effort or conniv-
ance. 1t certainly has not been brought
about as a consequence of an avowed deter
limitation of the Republicans of Maine to
present him as the choice of this State.
Nearly simultaneously in many States, as the
time for action drew near, there was mani
fest desire and purpose on the part of in
fuential Republicans, and of large bodies of
the rank and file of the party to attempt
once more the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
The Republicans and newspapers of this
State have taken no active part in forcing
this result. They have been as much in the
dark as the Republicans of the rest of the
country as to Mr.. Blaine's designs. They
have not supposed he was a disinterested
observer of developments; but ii has been
generally understood-perhaps it would be
better to say taken for granted-that he
would not enter upon an active canvass to
influence the choice of delegates. There
was never any doubt that he would have
the earnest support of the delegates from
this State, whoever they might be, if it
appeared that his nomination would be both
practicable and wise in view of the condi-
tions under which the great battle must be
waged.
The Republicans of Maine desire, first Of
all, Republican success in the election, and
there are few of them. if any, who would
seek the nomination of Mr.. Blaine if they
believed 1t would imperil victory. They have
no doubt about this State. 1t will be car
ried for any Republican candidates who are
likely to be nominated. They know that
the doubtful elements in the contest are
elsewhere, and they are ready to defer to the
Judgment of those who are both well in.
formed and fair-minded concerning the

ere, but it is known that sthere are divis
ions elsewhere which it will not be wise tc

which makes 1t important that men of wis

The railroad commissioners have refused
a second time TO approve the location of the
Franklin q Somerset road. The decision
will arouse bitter feelings in franklin coun-
ty, where the people are of the opinion
that charter should have been granted.
The commissioners seem, however, to have
considered the subject candidly, and their
refusal is undoubtedly based on what appear
to them COED and substantial reasons. At
ter their first refusal some of the Franklin
county press insinuated that they were con-
trolled by improper motives. 1t is to be
hoped that these insinuations will not be re-
peated. There was never the slightest EVIL
dence that there was any good foundation
