LAST YEARS PROMISES WARRANTED
When, year ago. the Boston WEEKLY
JOURNAL presented to new as well as old time
patrons its claims, in view of the change from
the folio to the quarto form-from q paper OF
four pages and thirty columns to one Of
eight pages and fifty-six columns-the pros
poets were announced as most promising; and
now that 1t comes again. after o year that
more than realized the expectations, 1t has
warrant for giving still greater promises for
the year to come.
ATTRACTIONS PoR THE HOME CIRCLE.
The paper will be maintained in the future
as in the past, on plane Of pure morals and
correct taste, that makes it an ideal one to
enter the home circle. One of the most at
tractive elements in this direction will be the
continuation of new and original stories by
authors Of established reputation worthy
of reading for their literary value, as we'll as
their enlivengning social interest.
POLITICAL STABILITY.
The coming year bids fair to be one OF mark
ed political interest to the nation, and the
JOURNAL can be relied on to show the stability
of character and the sterling adherence to
Republican principles that have actuated its
course in the past
EVIDENCE OF APPRECIATION.
On all sides during the year now over, and
in constantly increasing degree during the
latter half of it, notes of appreciation of the
JOURNAL for its new and progi essive methods
have been received, but the most substantial
have been those embodied in new su description
and enlarged sale and advertising
NO INCREASE OF PRICE.
In view OF added value in character, variety
and amount OF matter given in the WEEKLY
JOURNAL our readers will dou btless join in
our qualification at the nouncement that
a paper which was regarded as remarkably
moderate in price when insisting of only four
pages will be found much more now, when

While great variety of measures such
as listing" bills, bills to increase rail-
road taxation, and the taxes on wild
lands, are in preparation, all designed &C
cording to their authors to increase the
prosperity of the state, it is gratifying to
see that there is growing up a sentiment
that it is not legislation we are SO much in
need Of as revival of state pride accom-
panied with judicious advertising. This
sentiment was forcibly and eloquently
voiced at the recent meeting of the State
board of trade by the Hon. J. III. Drum
mond of this city in these words:
We do not need legislation SO much as
we do faith and confidence in and loyalty
to the State of Maine. This is what we
need. We want more of the feeling of the
Bostonian, who believes there is no place
like Boston. the New Yorker who knows
no place but New Y orlx, and to the Chica-
goan, Chicago IS the city of the world.
But we don't do it. We do not stand
up for Maine. As we go into
other States we hear occasionally of Pc
nobscot salmon and Kennebec ice, but OF
her manufactures and farm products we
hear but little, IJ is true Lnab we guy IN
New York markets goods which are made
in Maine. This shows we have no faith
in our own industries. Western towns
issue pamphlets booming their advan-
tages. We have never done this as a State
The railroads have done so to certain
extent, and our sporting grounds and
summer resorts have been immensely
benefited thereby But we should go
further. We should issue pamphlet on
our manufactures, our Aroostook farms,
our water power and other attractions,
The legislature should be asked to APP
propriate sum of $4,000 to $4,000 for
such purpose.

The Belfast Age ought to know that
the resubmission question was not in
voIved in the election of Sheriff Cram.
Had he been defeated the cause of resub-
mission would not have been advanced.
The only question involved in the sheriff
contest, outside of the political one as to
whether the sheriff should be a Republi-
can or Democrat, was whether an official
should live up to his oath of office and do
his duty or not. Happily the voters of
Cumberland county decided that faith
fitness was to be preferred to unfaithful-
ness.

The recommendation of Capt. C. B.
Hall, U. S. A., that the system in vogue
in the Maine militia Of electing the COM
manders, be abolished, is undoubtedly a
good one. republican form of govern
ment is not adapted to military organiza-
tons, because it presupposes respon 81
bility on the part of the elected to ma Ike
their administrations conform to the
wishes of the electors, whereas in the
army administration must conform to
certain exact rules which the rank and
file have no control OF. The effect of
electing commanders is to put them I'M
der obligations to the majority of the
men who compose their companies, and
this obligation is certain to prove en-
barrassing in matters of government and
discipline. A commander who feels that
he is under obligations to his company
for his position can hardly hold it up
so sternly to a strict performance of duty
as one who is under no such obligation
Furthermore elections by the rank and
file are not SO likely to turn on questions
of fitness as on questions of popularity.

If the Belfast Journal is right the Aus
tralian ballot system will be likely to
meet the opposition of the people OF
Waldo county in the legislature this win
ter, for the Journal reports that the peo-
pie are disguised with it. But we sus-
pect that the Journal has made no careful
canvass of the opinions of the people, but
is simply assuming, as newspapers are
apt to do, that the sentiment of the peo-
pie is in accord with it's own.

Now that ability to read and write is,
or soon will be, a part of the constitu-
ton, the question is how to enforce it.
And that is not problem easy to solve.
1t is easy to see that very few men will
step up voluntarily and acknowledge
that they do not possess this constitu
tional qualification for suffrage. And it
is easy to see also that the party that
would be the most likely to get the votes
of the illiterates will not exert itself to
furnish any information. Indeed, in the
State of Connecticut, whose constitution
has contained for many years provision
similar to the one that is to go into the
fundamental law of Maine, party man
ages have frequently contrived to evade
the provision. tits said that in that State
it is practically a dead letter, and that a
great many men who can neither read nor
write vote at every election.

command is oftentimes rejected in favor
of u man far less competent who has
about him more of the elements of per-
sonal popularity. 1t may be said that
the reform suggested by Capt. Hall is in
the Zinc ~ Sat recently ratified by the
people IN g adoption of the constitu-
tional ara.;i lmeut providing for the APP
pointment IF Adjutant General by the
Governor.
The tariff reform which the Massachu-
sets Democrats believe in apparently is a
reform that will remove the duty from
raw materials, but keep it on the manu-
featured product If protection is rob-
berry, as the Democrats allege, it is cliff
cult to see how it is any less robbery
when it is confined to the manufacturer
and denied the producer of the so called
raw material. To the ordinary mind it
would seem to partake much more
largely of the nature of robbery when af-
forded one class and denied another
equally worthy. There is no reason I'M
der the sun why the man who digs the
ore out of the ground is not as clearly en-
titled to be shielded from competition as
the man who converts that ore into arti-
cles of use. If one is to be protected jus
tice demands that the other be protected
also. The mixture of free trade and pro-
lection which the Massachusetts, Demo-
Gratis favor is far less defensible than the
policy of the Mckinley bill, which they
denounce as an iniquitous measure.
