THE STATE CAPITAL.
A Bath Representative Tells why u
Should Sc Moved TO Portland.

The following appeared in the Bath
Times:
Mr.. EDIroR-In your published interviews
Ia your last nights paper regarding the
change of the Capital from Augusta to Port
land, appear to be one of the two only who
favor the change. With all due respect for
views expressed by the other gentlemen. |
submit that 1t is a condition and not a theory
that we have to meet in this question. l
| speak from an experience of two terms IN
the House and two terms in the Senate and
as working member in both branches, and
when say that the present State House Is
Ill contrived, inconvenient, unwholesome
and united for the use it was designed for.
do not exaggerate but am prepared to prove
| every one Of those allegations. There is not
decent committee room in the whole build
| ing they are small. low, with no ventilation.
| The hall of representatives bears the palm
| of being the worst ventilated room. Of all.
| Years ago 1t had the name OF death trap"
given to 1t. for many representative has
died from disease contracted within its I'M
wholesome walls.
The Senate chamber is but shade better
The room occupied by the Governor and
Council and other permanent officials are
very decent in comparison with the others
but are too small. The valuable library,
with its overcrowded shelves of many price
less volumes, is stuck up in The attic in
leaky, disseminated. poorly lighted. and
cramped up quarters. The engrossing room
where most important work is done during
the sessions, Is down in the cellar.
Not a room is fire-proof. Many schemes
ana plans nave been proposed for altera-
tions and improvements to the present build
Ing, but the verdict has generally been that
1t would be cheaper to build anew.
The whole thing is a disgrace to our State,
and nothing but our war debt has prevented
this question of removal of the Capitol from
being decided years ago.

centre OF the State, as Boston is the business
centre of Massachusetts,; because it will ac-
commodate the public. and all who have bus
mess with the legislature better than any
other place, from the improved facilities of
communication we now have, and because
there IS in that city. abundant hotel accom-
mediation with uniform prices at all sea-

In my opinion whenever this State pro-
portion of the direct tax is returned by the
government then the change will be made.

The tariff bill passed the Senate yesterday
after long and careful discussion. All the
Republican Senators voted forl it. and
all the Democrats in opposition.
The bill now goes to the House.
There are some sanguine enough to
believe that it will be adopted by that body
as substitute for the Mills bills. The free
traders, however, though they are somewhat
less bumptious than they were, have power
enough left probably to prevent that, and
will exercise it. Doubtless the action of the
Senate Is the end of action on tariff bills by
this Congress. The revision of the tariff
and the reduction Of the surplus will go over
to the next Congress to be settled there.

The Portland daily press., 1889-01-23

A bill is before the legislature to create
new telegraph company to put up wires and
do business in Maine Before that bin he
comes law 1t should be conclusiyely shown
that public interest will be subseryed by
granting the charter asked for. The service
of the Western Union in Maine is very salts
factory. and the charges are very low. That
there Is not business enough for two comua-
mics has been demonstrated over and over
again by experiment. Men of capital and
experience have done their best to make
another line Ipay, but the final result has
always been that the plant has passed into
the hands Of the Western Union. II anoth-
er company Is created and builds telegraph
line, that will be the fate of its plant too.
Now 1t is bad public policy when territory
affords only enough business to support one
railroad company or one telegraph company
to allow another to enter 1t. For few
months the result may be lower rates, but
the companies soon get tired of losing money,
and consolidation is larraDged or one sells
out TO the other. Then the survivor proceeds
to recoup itself for its losses by putting mn
Its rates. This is what Twill happen IL this
proposed company builds line of telegraph.
1t is what always happens when,two indi-
viduals or two corporations compete in a
field that affords business enough for only
one. When the Western Union grows ex-
tortionate will be time enough for the State
to attack 1t through new company. AT
the present time 1t is doing business as low
as 1t can be done and return reasonable
profit to its owners, and lower than il can be
done by any other company.
The Portland daily press., 1889-01-23

The report Of the committee of the House
on Immigration is not altogether pleasant
reading tappears that alien paupers, in
sane and other aliens not lawfully entitled
to enter the United States have found their
way here by the way of Canada to the num-
Der Of fifty thousand in the last six months.
In some instances immigrants landing at
Quebec have found their way to the gates of
the New York almshouses within forty
eight hours. Furthermore it is shown that
societies exist in Germany. England and
Switzerland for the deportation of criminals
to this country, and that criminals are sent
here by those societies. In view of this
showing IL is certainly high time that some
thing should be done toward putting some
more deficient restriction on immigration
than exists at present, unless we are ready to
become the dumping ground of the thriftless
and shiftless and criminal and insane popu-
lation of Europe. The thrifty emigrant, who
has within him the elements of good citizen
ship. we want. but we have no room for the
kind described in the report. Congress
should do something in this matter as speedi-
ly as possible. And the States whose con-
situations permit men to vote who are not
citizens of the United States should make
haste to change their constitutions.
The Portland daily press., 1889-01-23

Dispatches from London indicate tina;
England shares the opinion'of the United
States in regard to Germany's aggressions in
Samoa, and is inclined to act in concert with
our government. It'll quite safe to predict
that nothing more serious will grow out OF
this matter than some animated diplomatic
correspondence. Germany will never take
the risk of mourning the hostility of the
United States and England for anything
there is III Samoa. Her commanders, if they
have insnlted the American flag, will be
promptly rebuked, and such apology and
redress as are demanded by the circum-
stances, be promptly made. Nobody need
lie awake nights for fear of war.
The Express suggests that the PRESS has
been trying toput it into hole. The Express
Is wrong. The PRESS has simply been ex-
hibiting the hole into which the Express puts
itself by trying to live up to the great doe
trine it laid down some time ago that the
proper caper for Republican papers is to
lind out where the Democrats are and then
get the "fartherest" away from them posi-
BILE. In New York the Democrats opposed
the Australian bill, therefore the proper
caper then was for Republican papers to
support it. In Maine the Democrats appear
inclined to support it. Therefore the prop
er caper is now for Republicans to oppose
it. In view of the sorry plight to which al
legience to its principle has reduced it, per-
haps the Express may think 1t advisable to
re-examne that principle and see il. it
doesn't need amendment.
