"For the first time within my recollection
what may be termed as personal equation of
candidates is eliminated from the contest,
inasmuch as either of the gentlemen in nom

the office with credit and success. This is
really only one of the questions to be
settled by the people in the coming election,
that of tax reduction. The republican par

In his address before the united literary
day, Rev. Edward Everett Hale took sub
stautially the same ground as that urged with
so much force by Gladstone III his admirable
article in late North American Review on
the universally of human knowledge, and
by Prof. Goodwin Smith in his article on the
coming American university. The main
feature Of this address was 60 broad and
catholic as to meet with approval from every
liberal and truly educated mind-the break
ing down of class distinctions in education,
and doing away with every sectional feeling
which could possibly create any jealousy be-
tween the scholars trained in one college or
university and those trained in any other
school, college or university, wheresoever
located. Loyalty to ones alma mater is one
of the surest proofs of the right educational
spirit Loyalty to the idea of brotherhood
of scholars, throughout the English speaking
world. and of those institutions which make
scholars, is a still grander idea. 1t is from
such ScnOlars that we look Tor tne accept
ance of DR.. Hale's leading thought that the
idea of liberal education is assigned to no
particular college or university, but 10 one
to be accorded TO all colleges and all univer-
sites alike. All education liberalizes. No
class of knowledge can be despised or DEEM
ed of little worth. Why then should not
schools, colleges and universities, whose
aims it is to literally educate, recognize that
no barriers or separation or jealousy shoud
exist between them? But on the contrary
union and brotherhood should prevail and
extend. In all the college orations of the
present year there has been no grander idea
in the educational problem advanced. thar
that introduced by DIR. Hale. and we believ,
the seed sown in this broad field is of tha
kind which will in time do much to enlarg,
and broaden the spirit of liberal and univer
sal education, break down the barriers be
tween schools and extend the domain Of
LIBERAL, universal education.

A Communication.

HALLowELL, June 2S.
Mr.. Editor:-Will you allow me the use
of your columns to correct statement made
in the last issue of the Hallowell Register,
in justice to the telephone office attached to
my store. wish to say that the notice sent
10 Rev. Mr.. Chase, on the evening of the
Classical School graduating exercises, by
Hon. 4. c. Burleigh, was duly received by
the operator; but he being alone could not
leave his business at that moment and asked a
gentleman, who WAS passing the store, if he
would deliver the message, and on being as
sured that he would either do SO or procure
some one that would, the operator supposed
he had fully discharged his duty. Itappears
that the gentleman did procure a boy and
entrusted him with the delivery of the mes
sage; but by some means it failed to reach
its destination, much to the regret Of all
who had anything to do with the matter.
Respectfully,
10. A. HAwEs.

The republicans here are very enthusias-

WATERVILLH.

The Waterville and Fairfield horse rail-
road was formally opened for business on
Wednesday of last week, and thus far has
more than justified the expectations of its
promoters. Cars were run between this city
and Fairfield nearly every half hour on
Wednesday, and every car was crowded and
running over, fifteen hundred passengers
passing over the line during the day. and
evening. Extra cars were run during the
afternoon and after tea and extra horses
attached to each car. A large proportion of
the Fairfield passengers combined business
with pleasure, and Waterville traders reaped
q rich harvest. In many of the stores Fair
field customers were presented the amount
of their fares for the round trip. There 10
yet no diminution in travel, and judging
from present appearances, Waterville has
decidedly the best of the railroad deal. A
great many Fairfield people will do the most
of their trading in Waterville until larger
stores are erected at home and stocked with
a greater variety of goods. When this 10
done both places will be equally benefited.
Superintendent Murch will find that his
efforts to run frst-clsss railroad will be ap-
preciated.
Mr.. 0. J. Pelcha left his delivery team
standing on Main street Wednesday morn
ing in charge of Simpson boy, eight or
nine years of age, while he did an errand in
a store close at hand. During his absence
the horse became frightened and ran, the
boy being unable to control him. In front
of Learned & Crowns the wagon struck the
curb stone and the boy was thrown violently
to the sidewalk. He was carried into bar

The greatest success in comic opera is
really "Erminie," the immense New York
success with all its fine and beautiful music.
The plot of the opera is made upon the ad.
ventures and antics of two thieves who rob
a nobleman and masquerade in his apparel
until arrested. Mr.. Ben Lodge, the princi-
pal comedian, has played the role of Jacques
Strop. the comical thief, over two hundred
times with great success. He keeps the
audience in a constant roar Of laughter and
applause. The other artists, Miss Chester of
the Museum Co., Miss Larose of the Hess
Opera Co. ARE making an env able reputation in
their roles, and the entire performance is
first class in all its details. We are fortu-
nate to have the opportunity to hear this fine
opera. No other company is likely to play
it here at any time. The opera will be given
at Granite Hall on Friday evening, June 20,
