YastardaN,s Election.

The Republicans of Portland turned out in
force yesterday and won splendid victory,
electlng the Hon. George w. True to the
Mayoraty by majority of $780, The result
is exceedingly gratifying, not only because
itsecures to the chief executive Office man
admirably qualified to discharge the duties
Of that office in way that will subserye the
best interests of the city, but because II 10 a
crushing blow to band of law breakers who
had undertaken to demonstrate that thew
constitute powerful factor in municinal
politics and can bring victory to whatever
party they may temporarily ally themselves
with. With this delusion DESTROYED we i'm
agine the rumsellers will be much less def
ant in the future. and their frowns or smiles
will give little concern even to the most mer-
cenary and Inscriptions of politicians. As
afactor In municipal politics the liquor men
are relegated by this election to comparative
insignihcance for many years to come.
Concerning the defeated can didate we have
no harsh criticisms to offer. The fight has
not been made against him personally but
against some of the elements that were active
in his support. We acquit him Of all respon-
sibility for the activity of those elements in
his behalf. Their support was his misfor-
tune rather than his fault. Nevertheless II
is fortunate for the city under all the circum.
stances that he was defeated
The Portland daily press., 1891-03-17
The Listing Bill,


The listing bill now pending in the legisla-
lure requires every taxpayer to SCI forth
once year on blank furnished him for the
purpose "such full information as to each
class and item of his taxable property, real
and personal, as will enable the town assess
ors, after personal examination of all yisi
BILE property, to appraise all Of such property
ut Its just value in money" 1t also requires
OF every taxpayer statement of all his cash
on hand, all the debts due him, whether
from solvent or insolvent parties, and all the
debts he owes. and the person he owes them
to. In short, it requires the taxpayer to
make once year clean breast of his finan-
cial condition to the assessors of his town or
city; to submit an inventory Of his property
as full and complete as is REQUIRED by the
probate court from the executor Of an estate.
These inventories are to be submitted to the
inspection of the selectmen, mayor and treas
urer Oh the town or city or county attorney,
whenever they may wish to examine them.
Thus in every town there will be half a
dozen men who will have the right to inspect
the inventory of every citizen whenever he
sees tit. and without being prohibited even,
by the law, from revealing thei contents.
Now how many business men of Portland
would make exact return of the condition of
their business to the assessors to be exposed
to the gaze Of the mayor, aldermen and
county attorney whenever any one of these
gentlemen might be seized with curiosity
to know the standing of some merchant.
each and every one of them free too, SO far
as any legal restraint is concerned, to tell his
discoveries to anybody he saw fit? 1t is
doubtful II single business man made any
returns under these conditions He would
prefer to pay the penalty of the, double taxa
tion OF what he possessed or what the assess.
ors might guess that he possessed. But as the
assessors are elected yearly by the people. In
few years there would be board in every
town or city who would be careful not to
make very high guess as to the value of
the estates in the community. 1t may
be said that the officials would be
bound to enforce the law in spirit and in
letter. But would they be likely to do II
with the vast majority Of the community on
posed to the law? Experience has shown
tnat even the opposition of a small fraction
OIL the community is frequently sufficient to
secure an almost complete notification Of
law what then, will be the result when an
overwhelming majority of the community Il
opposed to the law, as they will he in This
caseF Inc law will become dead letter
as has been the case with similar laws IN
other states

completed hardly two years ago, bore evil
dence of the work of the mollusks, many of
through, and several Of the brace piles hav-
ing first been eaten through at the surface
of the water and then subjected to the action
Of the tide, which swirls through the piles
like mlllrace, wrenchlng them from their
fastenings and sending them adriit. When
immediately driven alongside. In this way
about two thousand piles are required every
year Tor repairs. At the Lombard-street
Terry the piles are encased with canvas and
creosoted wood coverings, which give some
protection. The most effective protection
agaidst both the teredo and the llmn0ria Is
to subject the piles to a creosote bath at a
