To what extent are the spells to belong to
the victors? is the question OF the hour since
the election of Mr.. Harrison. Are the Re-
publicans now to use the Offices for the sole
purpose Of rewarding party services. taking
the very course for the following Of which
they have SO severely and Justly condemned
the administration Of Grover Cleveland?
Plainly they ought not and they cannot. In
the last four years the country has seen the
evil effects of general application of the
principle that the offices are the proper
spoils of the yictors; 1t has seen our diplo-
matte service deteriorate, our customs ser
vice lowered in its standards, and finally the
postal service. the onelgreat department of
the government which reaches nearly every
family and individual In the nation, reduced
to state of scandalous inefficiency. These
facts, well known and understood by the
people, contributed in measure, without
doubt, to the overthrow of Cleveland. And
one of the reasons for which the Republican
party has been restored to power is to en-
sure to the country decent and an efficient
administration of the public business. TO
do this it will be necessary to sweep out a
20 HubDei, PclnaPS dihoSt dli VI tHVoo
appointed to Office by the last administration,
and to fill their places with efficient men.
The Republican party, and We suspect the
better part Of the Democratic party also. i'm
patiently await the performance of this task
by Mr.. Harrison's administration. But that
the example Of Mr.. Cleveland shall be fol-
lowed and a clean sweep be made Of the
Offices for the sake of reWarding party SER
vice is neither demanded by the platform
nor approved by the thinking masses of the
Republican party.

There are many curious things about the
Democracypf New York city. The more 1t
is split up into factions the more likely 1t is
to prevail. 1t has been observed that with
the Democracy united. New York city sent
to the Fiftieth Congress seven Democratic
members. With the party divided there are
sent to the FiftY-frst Congress eight Demo-
cratic members from the city. This seems
to be a sort of Democracy that fiourishes by
breaking up. just as the yellow fever mi
crobes multiply in the same way.

The Pennington Chronicle does not feel in
pleasant mood over the exemption from
taxes which the law allows to the property
of literary institutions" The Belcher prop
erty inherited by Bates College is located in
Pennington and the town authorities have
endeavored to assess taxes on it for the
time covered by the period during which the
will was in litigation. President Cheney
resists this, and the case will come before
the court next January. The Chronicle
says that by this situation of the Belcher
property lover $500 in cash are thus annu-
ally taken out Of our town, besides our being
obliged to look, not knowing how many
years, upon lot Of old and unsightly build
offers have been made the college for several
pieces of the property, all Of them, however,
being refused. Our citizens claim the bur
den is too onerous to be borne; that there Is
no organization Of the Free Baptist denomi-
nation now existing here that desires to see
Bates College aided by Pennington to such
an extent as 1t is compelled to do; and that
the laws should be at once changed SO that
the property held by a college or literary
institution outside the city or town In
which such institution is located, and from
which an income is derived, should be COM
PEELED to pay taxes the same as the rest of us
have to-" 1t cannot be denied that the
Chronicle makes out strong case for Farm
ington, village which has had trials
enough already without being compelled to
contribute four hundred dollars yearly to a
literary institution While IL NAV he that
many or most Of those who have examined
the subject will agree that the public should
help bear the expenses of literary and
religious institutions to the extent of exempt
ing them from taxes, it is manifestly unfair
that disproportionate share Of this burden
should fall upon any one community.

Thanksgiving day was observed in Canada
last Thursday, date somewhat earlier than
is usual in this country. In Canada the day
is determined for the whole Dominion by
the representative Of the Queen, with the
advice of the Privy Council, and is observed
for the same reasons and in the same man
ner as is the day in the United States. In
fact. the custom of observing such day is
copied from New England and the st. John
Globe suggests that 1t might be we'll for both
countries to unite and have common
Thanksgiving day. Such suggestion, how
ever, will meet with no encouragement from
the Tory newspapers, to whom the idea Of
uniting with Yankee in returning thanks to
the Almighty will be detestable PROPOSE

been the standard-bearer of the Republican
