showing the greater portion of the army Of
natives Of Maine had settled in smaller
cities, in villages or on farms, many Of them
In the great West.
But it must not be inferred that this great
change has come about wholly because
Maine is poor place in which to live.
Perhaps that is one Of the least important
motives. The whole nation over there has
existed spirit Of restlessness. brought about
no doubt by the unsettling influences of the
civil war. by the great revolution in railroad
building and by the new territories and the
enlarged spheres of profitable effort thus
opened up to the ambitious or the dssatis-
fed man. The astonishing readiness with
which the American people move, under the
smallest economical or social impulse, is one
of the most important facts developed by the
last enumeration of the people of the coun-
try 1t is something that is confined to no
one State and not particularly to any section
OF the country, except that there has been
natural tendency of the East to give to the
far West. The census takers of 1880 found
that there were almost ten millions Of people
who had left their native State for other
States. OF course portion of these, and
quite considerable portion, too, had merely
moved short distance across boundary
line and could not be classed in the restless
class; but on the whole the larger number
probably had made longer journey and
taken up residence in scenes entirely new.

The Exodus Of the Children of Maine.

inc EXODUS OF the Children OF maine.
1t is an interesting but rather sad study to
compute the numbers Of the sons and daugh
tiers Of Maine who have gone forth from the
old homes to other States and countries in
the time allotted to the present generation.
From every town and city, almost from every
family 1t sometimes seems, there have gone
one or many to try their fortunes in new
scenes and there to remain. An impressive
reminder Of this fact has occurred in connec-
tion with the publication Of tue local history
entitled "Eastport and Psssamaquoddy."
At the close Of the volume is printed the list
OF subscribers, and 1t proves one Of the most
Interesting features OF the volume. OF this
list the PASSPORT Sentinel says: Including
representatives from twenty three States,
one Territory, the District Of Columbia and
three Canadian provinces, 1t gives names
once familiar here but now no longer found
among us, and shows how widely the de-
scendants and former residents OF the town
and section have been scattered over the
land, and that they still retain their interest
in their old home" The census of 1880
showed that there were living in that year
1929 persons who were born in homes on
the hillsides and In the valleys of Maine;
but OF that number only S., O15 had remained
in the State Of their nativity. The remain
der, an immense army Of 1S2, 257 men, women
and children had gone beyond the borders
of the State to make their homes. Can you
realize what these figures mean? They
mean that nearly quarter of the natives Of
Maine living in 1880 had gone away And If
one quarter OF all the present population of
this State should march beyond its borders
tomorrow 1t would be a host hardly so large
~ that great army that silently and one by
one took farewells Of their old homes and
departed previous to $780, To some extent
this migration has been going on In the last
eight.years also, but it is to be hoped that
the figures Of the next census will show no
such large exodus. The next question is
Where have they gone? To what cities, to
what States? The subscription to the his.
tory Of Eastport shows that the natives of
that town have been scattered as il fate had
sown them broadcast with a free-hand.
Probably the largest colony of Maine natives
is in Massachusetts. For the fathers aud
mothers whom Massachusetts sent to settle
the Province Of Maine the State of Maine
had given back in 1880 the abundant return
Of 68. ZIG Of the sons and. daughters. Prob
ably the large part Of these went to cities,
although the tendency of those who have
enigrated from Maine has by no means been
10 the cities as a general rule. For In the
swenty-three largest cities of the1land there
were In 1880 but s2,lp6 natives Of Maine,

to the United States was the act of local

Of marine was not consulted. The cOnces-
sion was made simply as a matter of courte-

The matter OF the discontinuance Of Brack-
EFT street is one of a good deal Of importance.
Everybody knows that has occasion to cross
the York street overhead bridge that travel to
the Cape is now not only not safe and conve-
nient, but positively dangerous, made so by
the sharp curves in that bridge. Nobody
ever drives that bridge without feeling that
he is in peril. The structure is now nearly
worn out and soon will have 10 be rebuilt.
Shall 1t be rebuilt in its present location, or
shall its location be changed so that it shall
extend from the draw of Portland bridge to
the foot Of Bracket street? 1t is urged that
a bridge between those two points would be
too steep. Doubtless 1t would be sleeper
than desirable, but the choice must necessa-
rily be made between two evils-between the
present bridge full of sharp crooks and turns
and bridge little sleeper but straight
A straight bridge to the foot of Bracket
street, even though the grade be little
sleeper, is, we believe, greatly to be preferred
Heavy teams would continue, as now, to go
around the depot, and to light carriage the
difficulties of ascent would not be at all Sc
we're. The descent would, of.course, be more
unpleasant, but the danger attending it
would be much less than in case of the ex-
listing bridge. There would be no sharp
curves to upset carriage as there are on the
present bridge, and the driver could see all
there was before him. We would by no
means counsel the ignoring of any rights
which Mr.. Lane may have at the foot of
Bracket street, or put him to any un.
necessary expense to maintain them. II his
claim is good, and the weight Of evidence
seems to be in his favor, the city should sat-
isfy II, II 1t can be done for reasonable sum-
What we ask is simply that the city should
take no action at present that shall render
the construction Of bridge with landing
on Bracket street an impossibility.

The South Carolina legislature appears to
look with favor on an educational test, and
there seems to be strong probability that
before 1t adjourns an amendment to the con-
stitution imposing such test will be pre-
pared and submitted to the people. We
pointed out the other day, that in 1880, ma
jority Of the males of South Carolina Of vot-
ing age could not write. Eight years has
probably reduced somewhat the percentage
Of the Illiterate, but it is very doubtful If it
has diminished 1t sufficiently to afford a rea.
sonable prospect of the ratification of an edu-
cational qualification at the present time. If
the people vote freely and have their votes
fairly counted. The South Carolina negro :
however, has got out Of the habit of voting.
BE has been taught by experience that vct
Ing does not pay. In the first place the act
itself subjects him to considerable danger,
and in the second place, when he runs the
risks and deposits his ballot. he accom-
rlishes nothing, for his vote is thrown out
II 1t in any way affects the result of the cleo
ton. Being as effectually DISTINGUISHED now
as he can be by an educational test. it is very
doubtful IL he deems Il worth while to resist
the proposed constitutional amendment.
There will be one good result from the crea-
tion Of an educational qualification. If no
other. 1t will reduce the representations of
South Carolina in Congress and the Elec
toral College to their just proportions. Now
one voter in that State is equal to three in
Maine; and its delegation in Congress is
three times as large as it would be were it
based on the number of its citizens, who in
fact enjoy the right Of suffrage. With the
legal disfranchisement of the illiterates of
the State this injustice will come to an end

The Dominion papers take the view of
Congressman Butterworth's resolution that
one would naturally expect the journals Of
an independent, sclf-respecting nation to
take of a proposition such as his measure
implies. They consider it an affront. The
Tory papers which are opposed to anything
like close relations between the two countries
find in 1t just the weapon they want to cud-
gel the more liberal Grit organs that
have been advocating commercial union. The
Tory sheets have all along contended that
commercial union was the bait Of an annex
alton trap, and now they are pointing to
this resolution Of Mr. Butterworth who has
been one of the most prominent advocates of
that sort OF union ana triumphantly claiming
that it proves what they have been saying.
If the annexation Of Canada to the United
States Is desirable. such rash advocates as
Mr.. Butterworth should be called in,
