WHAT MAS BEEN DONE At HOME.
There has been little or no effort thus
far among the people to donate the
amount. Notwithstanding the favorable
comments and talks OF liberal contributions
nj tho iimo Mr.. Cossitt's liberal bequest
| first became generally known. Even The
| trustees have taken few steps In the way
Of preparation for the original sums recep-
ton and adding TO II ut once. A contri-
button box, placed In the Manhattan
Bank several months ago, is not believed
10 contain princely amount-pOssibly
not 500. This lukcwafmncss was, no
! doubt, due Ia universal desire 10 have
something more definite TO rally about
than u promise, the fulhlment Of which,
however, was never in doubt, though the
date Of It's accomplishment was n matter
OF uncertainty. Now that the accomplish
ment has taken place, an active movement
toward the library may be looked Tor
with an institution Of mammoth proper
tons aud superior equipments m the re-
suit. The site has already been arranged
for. being fixed by enactment Of the last
General Assembly Of the State. IL will

While the hospital at Lewiston was by no
means anecessity. and while no great amount
OF suffering will result from the refusal OF
the House to build one, IL is fair to say that
the object twas much more worthy than
number for which the legislature appropri-
ated larger sums. The Madawaska claim is
an instance in point. The legislator that
called this appropriation steal was perhaps
dealing in hyperbole, but that it was a very
improper appropriation was clearly shown
by Mr.. Fogg on the floor OF The House In a
speech that was unanswered and unanswer-
able. There was no good reason under the
sun why the men who voted with the ''com-
bine" in favor Of those claims should have
refused to vote for the Lewiston hospital,
and to do so was basely ungrateful, for the
Androscoggin members both in the House
and Senate kept faith scrupulously with the
combine" voting with 1t when their chances
OF getting the hospital appropriation had
practically disappeared. We sympathize
with our Androscoggin brethren. Next time
they should look out sharper aud get vote
on their bill early.

ITEMS FOR HoRsEMEN.

The trustees of the State Agricultural So
ciety have just fully decided in regard TO the
colt stakes to be trotted at the State FAR al
Lewiston, September 1913. The stakes
have been made much larger that last year,
which was q trial, but which drew out the
largest and finest field of colts ever seen In
Maine.
The following is a summary of the stakes
etc.. Yearlings, $40; two years old, $40;
three years old, s25; four years old, $50.
Usual conditions. Entries close and first
payment, 20 per cent. April 10. In addition
the society adds consolation purses OF S45
for yearlings, $50 for two years old, $75 for
three years old, 500 for four years old, to be
divided among the non-wiDners. And fur
ther they offer series of silver cups to the
colts in each class which make the best mile
These stakes and Inducements can hardly
fail to bring together a string of colts of
which the old Maine State may be well

ProhIbition in New nampsnIre.

Constitutional prohibition has been de-
feated in New Hampshire by a large ma
jority. Not only did the cities declare
against it, which was expected, but the coun-
try towns also. which was not expected.
The result is surprise all round. for though
the friends of the amendment were not very
sanguine of its adoption because two-thirds
vote was required, they expected majority
in their favor, while on the other hand, its
opponents would have considered that they
had done we'll had they polled half the vote.
The defeat Of the amendment is not tanta-
mount to declaration by the people Of New
Hampshire against the policy of prohibition,
though anti-prohibitionists will doubtless
seek to put that construction upon it; for
for there are several objections to putting
prohibition into the constitution not touch
ing the merits of the policy, and these oper-
ated to considerable extent to diminish the
affirmative vote. 1t will probably be found
too. when the whole vote is in that there was
large number Of stay at homes, who did
not take sufficient interest in the subject to
go to the polls. Not that they were opposed
to prohibition, but because they did not feel
that the constitutional amendment would
have very much effect one way or the other.
That was Names experience. Only "a, 594
votes were thrown for and against the pro-
hibitory amendment in this State, though the
total vote for governor thrown at the same
time was l42.1 1877. That is, 5000 people in
Maine did not feel sufficient interest In tn
amendment TO vote either way, even after
they had come to the polls.
tits question though whether the friends
Of prohibition in New Hampshire did not
make mistake in submitting their policy in
THIS way to the people, for though the defeat Of
the amendment is not necessarily equivalent
TO the rejection Of prohibition, it can be very
piausibly argued that such is the case. The
opponents of the existing Drohibitory law
will be in better position to attack 1t than
they have ever been before. They can now
claim with some show of reason that the peo-
pie are opposed to it. or indifferent about IL.
Legislation in most Of our communities in
regard to the liquor traffic is in advance of
the average sentiment. Friends of reform
measures that are already upon the statute
book should not hurry, therefore, to submit
them to the test of popul ar vote.

The New York Sun has issued a diagnosis
OF the disease of the Democratic party and
prescribed a remedy. The disease is too
much revenue reform. The Icure is to go
back to protection. "As long" says Mr..
Dana, ''as we persist in our blunders we
must expect our disaster to be repeated. If
there is any one fact which stands out clear
ly amid the wreck and ruin that have been
wrought, 1t is that the American people mean
to adhere to the protective tariff, aud to
sweep from existence the entire internal
revenue system. The one must stay and the
other must go. 1t is folly to deny that this
purpose is fixed In the American mind; and
II the Democratic party is ever to regain
power, 1t must return to its old doctrines
and adjust its platforms and its leadership
In harmony with the manifest will of the
