Coy. Coburn,s Raouasts.

Sometime before his death Gov. Coburn
said to friend that his money came from
the people and that it would be returned to
the people. He kept bis word. A large
part of his princely estate is turned over to
the people in the form of endowments to
charitable, educational and religious institu-
tions. No such large public requests were
ever before made by a citizen of Maine.
Though not member of any church Gov.
Coburn was believer in the Baptist faith,
and over one-half of his public requests go
to the benefit of the baptist denomination
or are to be expended under their direction.
Colby University, an institution which he
had frequently befriended while in life, re-
ceives 5000, 900, and is now the richest edu-
cational institution in the State His gift to
the American Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety amounts to the munificent sum of
5000 900, and the Maine Baptist Missionary
Convention receives 100000. The requests
to the Baptists foot up $673.00O.
The State College at Orono is put upon its
feet by the gift of 100000, and hereafter it's
means of usefulness may be greatly extend
ed. Especially gratifying to the general pub
lie will be his bequest to the Maine General
Hospital. This is left entirely without re-
strictions and may be used in any way the
trustees deem for the best advantage of the
institution.

George N. Page, and Levi Weston Of Show
hogan. Their names will be fragrant in
Maine newspaper offices for many years to
come. What the considerations were which
controlled their decision we have no idea.
No information on that point could be OBJ
tanned from them. They were not sufic-
iently proud of them to make them public.
Since the above was in type our attention
has been called to the fact that the Somer-
set Reporter, weekly paper published at
skoWhegan, and closely related by consan-
guinity to the Boston Journal, also has the
will. Abstracts of it, furnished by the Bos-
ton Journal, also appear in the New York
Sun and New York Tribune, and possibly in
some other papers west of New York. Thus
even New York State was treated better in
this matter than Maine.

The question of capital punishment is
coming up again in the legislature this win
ter without much doubt, and we may conf
IDENTIFY expect renewal of the battle of sta
tistics. The trouble with that kind of q
contest is that it never settles anything.
Statistics on this subject may be made to
seem to prove that capital punishment in
creases murder, that it dminishes murder
and that it has no effect whatever. If ten
murders occur in one year under an impris-
onment law and the next year under CAPT.
tai punishment law the number falls to eight
the advocates of the death penalty are GEL
tain to jump to The conclusion that the re-
duction is due solely to the influence of the
gallows. If the number happens to increase
the opponents of the death penalty have
their innings. The TACT is that great many
of the results attributed to the kind of pun
ishment are really .due the other causes,
sometimes discoverable, frequently obscure.
II it were possible to eliminate the effects of
these other causes it would be easy to deter
mine the effect of different kinds of punish
ment. But 1t never is possible. And that
is the great reason why statistics on this
subject even when handled by impartial
men are inconclusive and never really settle
ANYTHING.

A Peculiar Performance


Yesterday mornings Boston Journal pub
lshed exclusively the will of the late Abner
Coburn. To the people of Maine, who have
.ssger interest in that will than the people
. hy other State, some explanation seems
due from Maine papers for what, I'M
lined, would appear TO be gross delin-
5ncy on their part in not furnishing as
Arly information in regard to this will as
paper published outside the State.
The PRESS made application for the will
at the earliest possible moment after the de-
cease OF Gov. CoburD, and received favora-
BILE response. The gentleman applied to
said that he should have charge of its publ
cation and would see that copy was fur
nished the PRESS. Subsequently it was am
nounced on authority that the will would
not be probated until the fourteenth OF JAN
uary, and would first be made public at that
time. On Tuesday it leaked out that it was
10 appear in the Boston Journal of the next
day. A representative of the PRESS imme-
diately went to Skowhegan and protested
that if the will was to appear in the Boston
Journal the next morning 1t was only fair
that the Maine papers should be allowed to
publish it at the same time. The Associat-
ed Press also made an urgent appeal in the
same direction. The executors, however,
were deaf to all appeals. They told the PRESS
representative that they had voted to give
the exclusive publication of the will to the
Boston journal, and that was the end of it,
To the Associated Press Judge Dascomb,
one of their number, refused to make any
reply whatever.
The gentlemen who are primarily respop-
sfble for this rather small piece of discrimin-
stiou against the people of their own State
are the Hon. Charles Danforth, of Gardiner,
Justice Of the Supreme Court of Maine, Gen.
r. B. Shepherd, Judge J. B. Dascomb,

The adulterat ion of food has been made
subject of legislation in nearly all, If not
all, the States of the Union. In our own
State there is quite body of law on the
subject. Besides general statute which in
cludes unwholesome or adulterated foods of
whatever description, there are several special
statutes providing separate and distinct PEN
alties for the adulteration OF butter, cheese,
sugar, molasses and vinegar. These penal
ties are quite severe. Thus person con-
vic,ed of adulterating sugar or molasses
may, after conviction, be sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 or he may be imprisoned one
year. Notwithstanding these laws, how
ever, it is no doubt fact that good deal
of adulterated food is still sold in this State
1t is alleged, for instance, that considera-
BILE part of the molasses sold lin this city at
the present time contains a large per
cent. of glucose. If this be SO the
proper course for the honest dealers to
pursue is TO prosecute the dealers who
are selling the adulterated goods.

would not be any danger then of anybody's

Sen ator Hawley's International copyright
bill embodies the provisions favored by the
American copyright league. 1t grants the
same copyright privileges to foreign as to
American authors, provided the foreign au-
thor is the subject Of government that
grants copyright to Americans. If this bill
becomes law it will put an end to the pira-
cy Of foreign books in this country, prac-
tce which has not only been disgraceful in
itself, but has nearly ruined the home mar
ket for American authors.
