to the promotion of woman's rights
and privileges. In regard to her mis-
sion to this country Mrs. Dixie says:

are doing toward the emancipation Of
women in England. As we do not
have an unrestricted suffrage even for

as the woman suffragists do in this
country, and therefore many think we
are too timid. But we have societies
in all of the prominent cities. and our
efforts are bringing about a greater
feeling of liberation than has existed
heretofore. We are also doing consid-
cradle political work, and shall advo-

datIOn of Ideas.
A recent writer expressed signifi-
cant truth when she said that one ex-
planation of the reason why the domes-
tic problem is full of such dire per-
p.exity for all classes of society, and
why so little is. apparently, being done
for its solution, is that women do not
come together for the purpose OF mu-
tual assistance and Improvements Men,
when they wish to accomplish any pur-
pose, unite forces, and thus, collective
ly achieve ends beyond the attainment
of individuals; but women have but
just begun to learn the power OF or.
ganized effort.

was here brought forward and remedy
sought from the united wisdom of the
club. Every new idea embodying an
improvement in any direction was here
put forth and its merits examined.
Methods of work were related and COM
pared the result being the survival OF
the fittest.
No little detail of life, if it caused
trouble or helped to ease the burden,
was deemed too trifing for discussion
by this circle, whose meetings were
characterized by the advancement OF
many valuable suggestions, and gave
opportunity for such general mind
freeing as is always helpful and COM

only get out of her solitary rut Such

cluded from the advantages offered by
trades-unions, and can not combine to
improve their condition. But, as an
indication that something is doing to
this end, there are now many women
journalists in London, and they have
been admitted to the journalists guild
on terms of equality with men. All
we ask for woman is that she be placed
on entire equality with man, that she
may enter the pursuits which are con-
genial to her, and at which she can
make a livelihood. 1t does not follow

Good Financial Showing

The taxpayers of kennebec County are to
be congratulated upon the splendid financial
condition of County affairs. which has been
brought about during the past few years
During these years the County tax has been
gradually reduced, and from S3s 600 raised
in 1854 to $50 900 in 1855 and 1856. was in
1856 brought down to s2s 900, which is the
smallest for many years.
The financial statements of the County
show that there has been paid on the County
debt s3,soo in 1883, So 900 in 1886, and
800 in 1887. while the interest account
shows paid in 1885, s9ls, i'll 1856, s762, and
in 1857, only 1857, so at the beginning of
the present year the permanent debt of the
County was but s. 400.
The cash in the County treasury Jan. ,
1856, was sl3.oO2 80, Jan. /, 1887, Sl3 1850. 10
and Jan. l, lsss, s2o.S77.3s. Thus it is
seen that the Commissioners were fully war
rantel in making the reduction of 81 600 in
the County tax of last year and the large sum
in the treasury at the beginning of the present
year would seem to justify further reduc-
ton of the County tax for the coming year.
which we are informed is contemplated.
We have a set of County buildings second
to none in the State. Extensive repairs and
additions have been made in the past four
years. The Jail was never in better shape
than now, and the court house is declared by

sion to visit it, TO be model in construction

Non American Speech.

No live American citizen can read the
speech OF VIM. l.. Putnam. at the Bangor
Democratic meeting. without being struck
with two facts in its utterances-the
remarkable absence of ANYTHING like
thorough knowledge of the main question
discussed, and an equal lack of SYM
pathy with the workingmcn aud manu-
facturers whose interests and welfare are
specially affected by Free Trade and the
Mills bill. His arguments against Pro-
lection are of the most superficial and
common place character, such as have
been thousands of times most successfully
answered, and such as the history. the
statistics, and the vast aud diversified in
dustries of the country prove to be
absolutely devoid of truth and practical
business sense. As specimen of his
laborcd ami sage conclusions. read the
following:
"Ali this, gentlemen. tends TO show. as
stated TO you before, that your Representa-
uves in Congress knew that the State of
Maine andits industries are not dependent
upon Protect Tariff Why my friends
look at your great water power here. From
Milford down TO Bangor there is power
over five times that of the whole stream at
Lewiston, power sufficient to run more
than ten times az many spindles as are run
ming at Lewiston to-day; and | ask you,
what has a Protective Tariff for the last
twenty-five years done for that magnificent
river?"
The vast manufacturing interests, es-
tablished and fostered by Protection,
step by step, converted to their use the
waters of the Merrimac, the Piscataqua,
