break away from the haIlucnation with

The Bloody Shirt and the Post
Office Fight.

Talking about Stealing another's
thunder" and borrowing methods, there
never was more bare.faced case Of this
than that exhibited by the democrats of
Watertown during the struggle just closed
over the postmastership. The very in
slant the drop fell and the ball opened
the bloody-sbirt standard was raised by
the democrats and the contest was waged
upon the war record of the several candi-
dates. First the Scott flag would be raised,
then the Habegger colors could be seen
floating in the breeze and in the constant
din that was kept up as to the loyal
standing OF the post Office applicants
during the rebellion, one could scarcely
hear himself think.
Time was when the republicans for
working up campaign on the issues of
the war would be bitterly assailed by the
democrats and the cry would 60 up vshe.
mently, ave should forget the past, and
shake hands over the bloody chasm."
It need not be told, however, that later
in the post Office war change must have
come over the spirit of the dreams of our
democratic friends or else Mr.. Howell
never could have reached the goal as he
did. The bloody-shirt must have been
hauled down and large sized flag Of
truce sent up in its place.

which will consume considerable time, there

A Distinction With a Difference.

One party is as good as another. My
neighbor who is Democrat is Just as
worthy citizen as my neighbor who is a
Republican" There is good deal of this
loose sort of talk afoat. Those who indulge
in it are mostly men whose conscences
would seem to be pricking them for having
turned their backs on "ihe grand old party
and helped to restore the Democratic party
to power in the General Government. They
protest that they have not acted an unpat

Work Of the Legislature.

4 special to the Portland Press saws: The
Senate has already shown determination to
have short session Of the Legislature by plae-
lng restriction on the reception of new bust
ness, limiting the time TO the 9th inst. The
House has taken no action on the matter, for
the reason that the subject had not reached it
before adjournment yesterday. From con-
versation with several members, however, il is
evident there is dominant sentiment in the
lower branch in favor of making the session as
short as possibly consistent with public inter-
ests. do not think either branch is disposed
to settle summariy any measure that they may
be called upon to consider. A good deal of dis
elimination must be exercised.
There is evidently mistaken impression
Of the amount of work that will engage the
attention Of isw-mskers. Unless MI signs fail
there win be more les sIstion called for than Il
popularity supposed, aud our own Judgment \
thsf the session viii be prolonged Into March.

Public Bequests.

The viii of the ate Abner Coburn will be
presented for probate on Wednesl lay, jan.
II. O; thu terms of the will although
nothing absolutely certain cail be known
till the will is presented for probate. the
Porfiu,d Press of Saturday says:
In Yesterdays Press it was stated the gen
eral Impression existed that the bulk Of Ex-
Governor Coburn's property would be de-
voted 10 the cause of free education in the
South under the charge of prominent Bap-
tisis that 100000 would % to Colby
University and 100000 toa public library
in Skow hogan, while the State College, AMI
Name General Hospital would be hand
someiy remembered.
From undoubted authority we are enabled
10 say, this morning, that the will was drawn
by Judge Dascomb, one of thepexeeutors.
and Is said, BY eminent legal authority. To
be as admirable specimen OF withdrawing
as has ever been seen. 1t i, very clear and
concise. 1t will be made public next We'd
nssday. By the terms of the will, as stated
above, the bulk of the estate will be devoted
to education in the South. Colby University
will receive 800 .000-all, if not more, than
its best friends had expected while the
Classical Institute at Waterville. which is
under the care of Colby, will get $4,000
Other requests 10 Colby institutions will in
crease the entire sum devoted to that Uni
versity property, to something over $500, 900.
To the State College at Orono. the
Governor leaves the handsome sum of
100000.
Perhaps the bequest Of all others which
will especially please all friends of suffering
humanity throughout the state. is that of
100000 to the Maine General Hospital
This bequest is all the more generous be-
cause the hospital is located in Portland and
the Governor was not partial to this CITY,
The Request of 100000 for public
library at Skovhsgan is another grand
gift, and it is said, his generosity does not
