what promises to be very edifying religious
discussion. The New York editor seems in
clined TO take the ground that all religious
bodies are the enemies Of equal rights. The
rural editor, while not distinctly controvert-
ing this proposition, reminds the metropoli-
tan editor that all the bigots are not within
the pale of the church-which looks very
much like sly dig at the New York end of

In another column is a protest against the
erection Of Electric Ligh It poles in Congress
and State Street Squares. 1t may be admit
ted that poles in these places are not during
the day time so ornamental as statue or a
fountain would be; but there can be no rea-
sonable difference of opinion about the great
advantage of Electric Lights at these very
places during the night. Few lamp posts
are ornamental while the sun shines, but if
they are properly placed they are very SER
vicable after shutdown. The Electric Light
which for several months has been estab-
lished near the club house at one side of
Congress Square was only half as useful as
it will be in the centre of the square. The
bodies of the trees, and in summer their foli-
age, obscured the light through the length
of Free street and High street South, while
the buildings on the corners shut off most of
Congress street East and West from its
benefits. In its new position it will illum-
inc every street radating from the square
for long distance, as will the new
lamp in State Street Square. These
standards are surrounded by curb and
rail and will be no more Changer
Gus" than a monument would be. It is
well to bear in mind that more people walk
than ride in carriages, and some regard prop
erly may be paid to the convenience and
comfort of pedestrians who have to find
their way at night.

The Argus objects to what it calls the
"seriap' editorials of the PRESS. We are
very sorry for the Argus. 1t will do well
to cultivate the ability of sustained atten-
ton. But there is one error into which ju-
veniles and unframed minds are apt
TO fall against which the Argus must
guard,-the motive and moral of a serial
cannot always be discovered in the incidents
of the first chapter.

1t was apparent enough at the trial of the
Kittery murderers that Mrs. Barrows was the
impelling force in the affair. The idea of
putting Barrows out of the way was hers,
the plan for doing it was hers, and it was
ner will that nerved Blaney's hand to fire
the fatal shot. In the moral guilt of the two
persons there was difference, though le-
gally they were both equally culpable. The
jury which had no right to deal with any
but the legal aspects of the case did right in
returning verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree against them both, and the
Governor and Council who have the power,
and whose duty it is as well, to inquire into,
and take into account, conditions and cir
cumstaDces which the jury are debarred
from considering have probably done wisely
in mitigating the penalty so far as Blaney
is concerned,

a load for the team, although we are
informed it was as light a machine as
was on the field. Next came the
buckeye" it also doing good work,
the horses drawing it with ease and
keeping steadier gait. The "Walter

cutting clean swarth but not tying
the bundles without the loss of consid-
cradle grain. Then the "Esterly" was
brought forth. The parties who had
it there on exhibition having forgotten
some essential parts were obliged to
fix it up as best they could, but, never
theless, it seemed to be the favorite
among good many present, parties
who had never seen il at work before.
The judges gave their decisions in
favor of the ''Walter A. Wood" as
first best and the Buckeye" as second.
A very large crowd was present.

day when the same binders appeared
