To help force it, new capital scheme on
the people of Maine the Portland Press
pro poses to grab the 500, 900 which the
National Government may pay over to
Maine In reimbursement for her share of
the direct taxes advanced by her to help
crush the rebellion. 4 more absurd AS
sumption could not well be conceived.
Those war direct taxes were paid by the
the sweat and toll of Maine citizens when
large portion of her most healthy and
vigorous men were away amid the terrible
arena OF war, of battle, disease aud death.
and thousands of homes were in mourn
ing that fathers and brothers we're never
to return. If the United States Govern
ment returns this money, it should be
considered sacred inheritance, not to be
FILTERED away or gulped down by any
scheme of financial extravaganza or local
ornamentatiou. There are still many in
the state who are suffering and In need
in consequence Of the war Many of these
are the widows. the children, OF
helped pay this war tax while they were
dying on the battle field, in hospitals, or
in rebel prisons. These sufferers the
state is bound to care for.
Very soon, if not at once, the state
needs a new Insane Hospital set OF
buildings at the cost of at least
$3.50, 900, and a State Prison or Reforma-
tory for women at the cost of $50, 900 to
$4,000. Far better to expend 100000
for geological purposes, to bore for oil,
coal, gas, gold and silver in our own terri
tory. to bring out the buried riches of the
state, than to throw the si00, 600 and twice
as much more of the peoples money to
carry out the wild scheme of building a
new Capitol in the extreme corner OF
the State, wasting hard-earned taxes in
the heated caudron of speculation and
adventure. Neither the citizens nor thu
Legislature of Maine will ever sanction
such folly

THUNDER AND LIGHTING.
a Warm spell Preceding a Cold
wave

The weather Sunday was warm and cloudy,
with occasional rains during the day aud
very heavy showers at night, accompanied
by thunder and lightning. The streets were
beautifully washed and many Of the sewers
were filed 10 OVERLOOKING, causing bursts In
some places.
Yesterday morning when the thermometer
indicated 4G degrees the cOld-waye flag was
raised over the rooms OF the Chamber OF
Commerce on a telegram from Washington
indicating that the temperature would fall TO
90 degrees or lower by this morning.
Rain continued TO fall lightly ct intervals
during most OF the day. About o'clock
there was break in the clouds and the skies
soon cleared.
Sundays rain caused a cave.in In the cul-
vert on Reservoir street between TAYLOR aud
Cbsilin. The bole. about four feet deep, was
soon repaired by the city authorities.
By 10 O'Clock last night the skies were
overcast, and the probability was that by
morning thero would be rain or snow.
One Of the consequences OF the very heavy
rainfall Sunday night was 4 landslide yester-
day morning which blocked the line OF the
Electric Line on Twenty'first between
Broad and Grace streets at the foot OF Tay-
lor's Hill. Workmen, as soon as possible.
cleared the track and LET the cars resume
their trips.
THE RIVER RISING.
As a result OF the rains the river began to
rise early yesterday afternoon, and at mid
night the water was about q feet above or
dinary tide at the Virginia Steamboat Conn
psny's wharf and was rising slowly. The
latest advices received yesterday afternoon
from up the river were that the water bad
risen five feet at Columbia and WRs still rising
slowly,
