ihgly antagonistc interests of its different
sections. The demand for water made
by the shore villages is not unreasonable,
doubtless they are put to great inconven-
fence and exposed to loss by fire by reason
of the want of it. On the other hand it is on
ly human nature that the farmers who can
not share in the benefits of water, and who
doubtless anticipate, and not without reason,
that the introduction of water must be fol-
lowed by many other expensive improve
ments, should object to helping pay for
what will be of no direct benefit to them.
What the remedy is for the present state of
things is it is not easy to see. But move
ments for division of towns frequently grow
out of such controversies.

II Sawtelle ever made any such confession
to his counsel as was published in the Bos-
ton Globe, it is evident enough what his pur-
pose was. 1t certainly was not to tell the
truth, for the circumstantial evidence showing
that he himself did the killing is oyerwhelm-
ing. Somebody may have assisted him in the
planning of the crime, but there is no doubt
that the commission of it was his sole work
OF course If he could get the government to
accept confession that should make some
body else the principal in the tragedy and
himself only an accessory he might hope to
get mitigation of his punishment; and if
he could succeed by locating the murder in
Maine in getting his trial and punishment
transferred to this State he would in any
event save his neck. Both these objects he
had in view when he make this confession,
IL ne dio aAake it, and it was to accomplish
one or Doth OF them that he hade II. For
tunately. however, the proof OF Sawtelle's
crime is so clear that the government will not
be tempted to accept any sort of concession.
unless it be a confession of murder IL the
first degree committed in the State OF New
Hampshire.

That particularly senseless strike, inau
gurated by the Freestone Cutters Union
has reached the point which It's managers
doubtless desired; to wit. the stoppage o.
building operations in Boston. Beside pros
trating the work of rebuilding the burnt
district, the Sears building, the Ames build
ing and all the other large buildings which
were to have been finished in Boston this
year, the strike will, if protracted, affect the
saw mills and brick yards Of Maine. Already
the price of bricks has dropped So per thou

at leastiffty thousand people to put an enc

Saturdays elections in Rhode Island ap-
pear to settle it that the next legislature will
be Democratic on joint ballot, with the con-
sequence that the Democratic candidate will
be chosen governor. The House will have
a Democratic majority and the Senate a
Republican so that any legislation Of poll
teal character will be practically impossible
The scale was turned in favor of the Demo
Gratis by the city of Providence where the
liquor dealers worked like beavers to put
the legislature in possession of the Demo-
Gratis, lest the Republicans shouldre-elect the
Attorney General of last year who had made
himself very obnoxious to their business.

The town meeting in Cape Elizabeth yes
terday over the water question appears to
have been highly exciting affair. The peo-
pie turned out as they never turned out be-
lore, and the proceedings show that they
were not altogether good tempered. The
"hayseeders," as the residents of the shore
villages have dubbed the farmers, appear to
have got on the ground early and in sniff
clent force to capture the organization of the
meeting. Having done that they had things
all their own way during the rest
of the meeting and did about as
they saw fit, winding up with a
sine die adjournment. What the next
proceeding is to be remains to be seen, but it
is certain that if another meeting of the town
is called another equally bitter contest will
be the result. Both sides to the question are
very much stirred up, and the bad feeling
already engendered is likely to increase
rather than diminish. As the PRESS said
the other day the town is in an unfortunate
condition by reason of the diverse, and SEEM

The tide of travel is not all from Maine,
westward. Two young men who emigrated
year ago, one to Montana, the other to
Tacoma, Wash, have concluded that Maine
is to be preferred as dwelling place and
have returned to their former occupations in
Calais. They have word from others who
emigrated that they too will return as soon
as they can make arrangements-tha is,
raise the necessary cash. The specific
trouble in these cases is not set forth; but it
is likely that the ready-made positions COM
manding large salaries were not Forthcoming,
and the young men found that they could do
better at home among their friends, than
they could alone on far-off shore. Their
lot is the lot of many, but the majority are
not quite willing to own up to it. Most peo-
pie have little Of the complaint that troub-
led Mark Twain after his blind lead" col
lapsed. They have worked their friends
hopes up so far that they are ashamed to e
back home only moderately prosperous.

This act. our esteemed contemporary will

mind, between the ages of eight and fifteen,
10 attend common school at least sixteen
weeks in each year, unless it appears that
such child has been furnished for a like
period of time with the means Of education
equal TO that taught in the common schools
OF the State. A part of the curriculum of
every common school in this State is reading

statute, that the Argus Endorses, enioins of

be furnished with the means OF education
equal to that taught in the common schools.
Surprising child is sent to school in which
reading and writing are taught
entirely in the French or German language,
and from which the English is excluded,
does the Argus mean to be understood that
that child receives means of education equal
to that taught in the public schools? If it
does not then it endorses the compulsory
teaching of the English language in Maine
