The Herald says: "Gen. Boulanger has
larger opportunity than has come to any
Frenchman since Louis Napoleon, invoking
so many departments in 1913. With oppor-
tunities come duties. AS he accepts them,
well or Ill for France, we'll or Ill for his own
fame"
The Tribune says "The Boulevards
joicing over the triumph of q sordid and
unprincipled intriguer whose reckless ambi-
tion points unerringly toward an irresponsi-
BILE military despotism like Louis Naploen's."

l have signed petition for the suffrage Of
women; favoring 1t for those who believe it
privilege. think all should be allowed to
act in freedom in this vital matter. And,
therefore, as view 1t, those women who do
not desire suffrage should not be required to
pay the annual poll tax of three dollars.
Notwithstanding the sum Is a small one,
only about one cent per day, it will in many
cases seem onerous. Large and even small
families Of women in reduced circumstances
cannot view it otherwise than burdensome.
Also great many of the females employed
in factories, workshops, and in hundreds of
other branches Of industry, who are not able
to spare three dollars annually for the cur
rent news and other desirable reading mat
ter Of the day, will feel it a hardship. 1t
would be ignoble in women as 1t is in men,
to accept donation for the purpose Of pay
ing poll tax. Neither should donations be
made, either directly or indirectly. to pro-
cure naturalization papers for women: and,
subsequently, from year to year, to pay the
poll tax of said women. Such practice
would tend towards corruption in any politi-
cal party. 1t would seem in granting
woman's suffrage, that these and all other
Objectionable features should be carefully
guarded against. A TAX PAYER.

that there has been great advance in the
value of large pieces of real estate, according
to the ideas of the owners. over the assessed
valuation. This will be good news to our
citizens, and may provide enough money to
buy site for the capitol.

No Conditions In the Deed OF the

Though the Capital be Removed to
Portland.
Especial TO the Press. ]

AUGUSTA, January 26.-One of the
arguments against moving the Capt.
tai to Portland upon which the most
stress has been laid, has been that the land
on which the present State House stands
was decided to the State only conditionally
and that so soon as the State should cease to
use the present State House for the purposes
for which it was intended, the land would
revert to the heirs of the original owners.
What authority there isfor this statement
does not appear. North makes no men,
tIon Of 1t in his history Of Au-
gusta; the old journals and Re
solves are forbiddingly silent. There is
one place where such condition, IL 1t really
existed, would be almost absolutely certain
to appear. That is in the original deed by
which the land was transferred to the State.
That deed. If it is in the possession Of the
State, is tucked away among the archives so
carefully that the oldest man connected with
the State House does not know where it is
But happily the laws make provision for the
recording Of all deeds, and in the strong
room of the Kennebec Registry Of Deeds is
an attested copy Of the very deed by which
the land of the present Capitol site was
given to the State 1t is a straight deed, the
only conditions being as to the right to locate
certain streets. Not word is said about the
land reverting in case the State of Maine
should decide that the beautiful metropolis
of Portland should be the seat of govern
ment. That deed may be found on 2Sl page
