A Reform Which poesn,t Reforno.

MI L. b. bennett, a communication from
whose pen appears elsewhere in this paner
has very neat and effective way of disnos
ing OF facts and testimony which maka
against bis preconceived notions. He sim
ply repudiates them. The other day In drew
up petition to the legislature asking among
other things that property owners be re-
Quired to disclose the exact amount of their
possessions to the assessors under oath. The
object he had in view was to prevent what
he calls tax lodging. He conceives that a
great amount of personal property is now
concealed which might be brought to the
view of the tax assessors If the owner could
only be put under oath. The PRESS sought
to point out that his remedy, while 1t would
have little tendency to cure the disease
which he believes to be so widespread,
would produce another which would be ex-
ceedingly destructive to the human con-
science. The PRESS argued that If the State
undertook to reward men for sitting their
consciences and to punish them for keeping
them In good healthy moral condition
(Which it would practically do by the adop-
ZION OF Mr.. Dement'S PLAN the sitting bust
ness would receive great boom. 1t sought
to point out, too, that that was an industry
which the State ought not to promote-that
to do so was immoral and would turn out un-
proftably. The PRESS was able to show by
the experience Of Ohio that these things had
followed law in that State identical with
the one Mr.. bennett proposes for this one.
1t quoted the law of Ohio with all the machin-
cry which Mr. bennett proposes, and then it
cited the testimony of the Governor of that
State, who in a special message to the legis-
lature declared that
Personal property is valued all the way from
full value down 10 nothing; In fact, the great
iority of the personal property Is not returned,
but entirely and fraudulently withheld from taxa
ton. So far as personal property is concerned,
he fault Is CHI efy with the people who list their
nroperty for taxation. The idea seems largely to
prevail that there is injustice aud inequality In
taxation, and that there is 10 harm in cheating

That unhappy creature the marine on
board the United States man-of-war will
have somewhat better time In the future
than he has had in the past. For many years
lie has been neither soldier nor sailor and
his life has been made burden to him on
account of the difference in rations allowed.
The law on the subject which is nearly
century old provides that the marine shall
receive navy rations, the value of which is 30
cents per diem. he does receive these on
shore duty; but when he goes to sea, by
some queer dispensation of Providence, he
subsists on the army ration, % cents worth
of food in each "a hours. This thing has
gone on for many years and like Tennyson's
brook might have gone on forever had not
somebody pointed out the discrepancy to
Secretary Tracy. He appointed board to
look the matter up, and in the future
marines will be sailors at least to the extent
Of eating sailors rations.

The coin collectors of this country and of
the worlo at large are reported to be prepar-
ing for raid on our money as soon as the
coinage bill is signed by the President and
becomes a law. In fact some Of them are at
work already quietly gathering in all the
gold dollars and two dollar and half piec-
es, and the nickel and three-cent pieces that
they can lay their hands on. Their action is
based on the report that the director of the
mint will issue orders to stop coming them
as soon as the bill becomes a law. He
claims that the two latter coins have no
place in the American decimal system and
that the gold dollar is so small that 1t is use
less. The silver dollar will next be attacked
and although its coinage will not be stopped,
Mr.. Leech will change its appearance so its
best friends will not recognize it, The FIVE
cent nickel will also be reformed essential
ly. Everybody will admit, we think, that
Mr.. Leech has excellent material to work
upon if Improvement is his object. The coin
collectors will probably be able to command
premium for all of the present legal tender
coins before the year is out.

We regret to say that Mr. bennett in his
communication is not quite as ingenious as
he ought to be. Among other things he says:
But the PRESS, in my opinion, is far too credu-
lons when 1t quotes with appreciation from Prof
Ely as 10 the character of the rich men of Ohio
Asks the Professor Of his informer, at seems to
me from what you say there Is not wealthy man
III tne STATE OF Ohio who is not a periurer?n He
replied, 1T is true" Says the Press, ''Does
anybody suppose that human nature in Maine is
any different from human nature in Ohio and thai
results as THEREOF
The rich men Of Portland have contributed very
nttie 70 my prosperity. yet must defend them
against the terrible Indictment of such sweep
ing l charge as capacity for perjury! 1 have al
most oally Tor thirtytwo years been an observer
o. tne conouct OF Portland's rich men and knoaO
mat such is not generally even much less uniyeT-
sany, the character Of our rich men.
Now this is what the PRESS actually said
preceding the inquiry which Mr.. bennett
quotes. Does anybody suppose that human
nature in Maine is any different from human
nature In Ohio"
Has single one of the evils complained of in
Of Ohio? On the other hand, have thew not = al
been intensified? Certainly it has done noibine
10 discover concealed personal property or equal,
this direction 1t has done incaculable harm In an
otneT BY onering premium for false swearing
and ana imposing a penalty for truthfulness. it has
temptel every BODY in Oio who has any personal
property to perjure himself, and apparently con-
siderable per cent Of the people have yielded to
man nature 10 Maine is any different from human
nature In Ohio, and that the same temptation here
VIII not work the same result as there, and that
the widespread decentralization which has been
brought about among the taxpayers of Ohio can
be aYerted In Maine?
There is no allusion here to rich men or to
poor men, but simply to taxpayers. Mr..
Dement'S rush to the defence of the rich men
oil Portland was therefore entirely uncalled
for 1t was piece of mere buncombe.

A GOOD WORD FOR MR.. MILLS.
ISL Iniain Gloha namnnrat


Mr.. Mills is to deliver several speeches in
Arkansas, and the Republicans of that
state are likely, therefore, to make better
showing in the next election than they did
In the last one.
DEMOCRATS COME HIGH, BUT THEY MUST
HAVE 'EM.
Lowell MALL
The Democrats control the city govern
ments in Lewiston and Watervile, two of
Names most important industrial centres.
In the former city the corporations antici-
pating an increase in valuation went to the
Democratic assessors and convinced them
that taxes were high enough. The Bates
mill pays $l9 per spindle, and its agent has
given the city to understand that it can't paw
any more. The Lockwood mills In Water
vile pays nearly as much. These taxes
stand In prominent comparison to those paid
by the York mills of Saco, which pay but
$14 per spindle. But Saco has long been
under Republican rule, and that makes big
difference.

The United States Senate is coming in for

Congress Of the United States were not
elected to represent the press or people of
canada and England, but the people of the
United States. The passage of the McKin-
