The amendment to the constitution of
the State which is advocated by the
Maine Branch of the National League
for the Protection of American Insti-
tutions, if opposed at all, will be OPP
posed on the ground that it will hinder
the cause of education. The directors
will say that many academies and semin-
aries, under the control of religious
sects, which are now receiving State aid,
will be deprived of it if the proposed
amendment is ratified, and their useful
ness gcrippIed. This looks plausible.
But it must be borne in mind that the
amendment proposed does not forbid the
State to appropriate money for schools
that are not sectarian. There will
be no less money for education, and the
Legislature can appropriate as much as
ever. The only difference will be that it
must appropriate all of it for schools
which are not sectaran, and then it will
go chiefly toward the support and i'm.
provement of the common schools.
Instead of being a hindrance to
the cause of education this will
be positive help to it. The great mass
of the people have to depend for their
education on the common schools
that is the schools supported
by the towns and cities by gen
eral taxation. These are the schools
that appeal to the people. These are
the schools which the State says chill
dren must attend These are the schools
which the State is bound to see are
supported. These are the schools upon
which the State should concentrate it's
efforts and spend its money. Every
cent of money spent by the State on
academies and seminaries could be more
proftably devoted to the common
schools. There is no great danger that
these higher institutions of learning will
suffer from withdrawing from them all
State aid. The twenty-three States in
this union which now forbid the diversion
of the States money to institutions un-
der sectarian control do not lack the
higher institutions Of learning. Private
benefcence can be trusted to look out
for them. But the common school must
rely upon general taxation, and the less
that is withdrawn from the fund thus
raised for other purposes the more there
will be for the schools upon which the
masses do now and always must de-
pend for their education. Let the
State take care of the schools which are
free to everybody. Let private bene-
ficence and the few who can avail them
selves of their benefits take care of the
schools which are for the few only.

The opposition to the election OF
Edward Murphy to the New York Sena-
torship has practically given up the fight.
Murphy has secured pledges from a ma
iority of the Democratic members of the
legislature and his nomination by the
Democratic caucus is as certain as any
thing can be in the future. Mr.. Cleve-
lands first attempt at bossism has not
proved a distinguished success. How
sver he has the patronage and later on
he can make it decidedly frigid for his
New York opponents.

1t appears that the friends of the list
ing system are to make dead set on be-
half of that plan in the legislature this
winter, and it is reported that they
have gone SO far as to organize lobby
in it's behalf. The great virtue of this
method in the eyes of its supporters is
that it will compel the rich men in the
cities to disgorge. Yet all the testi-
mony in regard to it in States where it
has been adopted is that the people it
compels to disgorge are not the rich
people, but the people of moderate
means, more especially widows and Or
phans, whose estates are in the hands of
trustees and guardians. Another effect
which it has had everywhere it has been
tried is to debauch the public conscience,
by setting a premium on lying and a
penalty on truth telling. A form of this
system is in use in New Hampshire and
commenting on its operatio, the Secre-
tary of the State Board of Equalization
in his report this year says: Dur

years of the existence of this law

We are inclined to think that every
druggist who is disposed to sell liquor
for Legitimate uses would rather take
the risk of selling it under the present
law than under the one that was out
lined in our Augusta dispatches. Ger
tainly there is nothing in the proposed
law that suggests that the druggists are
anxious to sell liquor to be drunk as a
beverage, but, on the contrary, it is EVIL
dent that all the reputable ones desire is
the privilege of supplying it for medici-
nal use.

1t looks as though the Kansas senator
ship might settle down into contest
between Mrs. Lease and the redoubt-
able Jerry Simpson of Medicine Lodge.
An attempt has recently been made to
buy off Mrs. Lease by appointing her a
member of the State Board of Charities
but she declines to accept if her ac-
ceptance is to be construed as waiver of
her claims to the senatorship. 1t looks
therefore as if Jerry would have to make
an open fight against his feminine oppo-
nent. This would be very unpleasant
for the sockless statesman, as he is a
gallant gentleman believing in all sorts of
rights including woman's.. If duty calls
however, Jerry will be there.

Charles Stain, or some one of him, is
said to be in possession of coveted
documents relating to negotiations for
him to contradict his testimony given at
the trial of his father and Cromwell for
the murder of Treasurer Barron. Spe-
cial effort has been made of late to get
the young man to surrender the papers
but he has not done SO and is not likely
to. AS Stain is a phenomenal liar, sto-
ries emanating from him are not to be
accepted without much confederation.

The 'sold fashioned temperance re-

is manifesting itself as usual by temper
ance mass meetings in which stirring
speeches are made and resolutions, pre-

putting down the liquor traffic is said to
be highly satisfactory especially to the
people who are engaged in the business.

The Philips Photograph says that NJ.
z. Remission lets his moose run loose on
Bangs Island, where he browses content
eddy for several hours each day. When he
has satisfied his hunger he will lie down,
then Mr.. Remission leads him back to the
stable where he occupies stall among
the horses. This animal is ''as black as
an otter,'' stands over six hands high and
is as fine specimen of moose as roams
the forest. His antlers have only two
prongs each but spread two feet six inches
and are about two feet long. Mr.. Keins-

The Manual Training School,

The building erected upon the
grounds OF the White Public
School for the use Of the Manual
Training class has been completed,
and at certain hours every day
each Of the grades, from the high
est down to the sixth, repair there
to receive instruction from Prof.
Robbins. The hours are so ar
ranged that one grade follows
another in succession so that the
Professor has to be in the shop
every hour during school time,
excep' three hours EACH week,
which he devotes to lectures and
instruction to the smaller grades.
Although this department has
been established but one month,
the scholars are becoming greatly
interested and are showing marked
improvement. especially in their
drawing. Every Tuesday after
noon, from 3 until 5, Prof. Rob-
bins gives instructions to the en-
tire corps Of teachers. They are
now engaged in learning perspec-
tive drawing, and in the future
are expected to use the knowl
edge thus received in instructing
their grades. So far as it has
been tried the manual training de-
partment has proven to be quite
success, and the trustees and
patrons are highly gratihed with
it.
Prof. Robbins is a genial gentle
man and thoroughly qualified for
the position to which he has been
called.

KY:
GENTLEMEN:--Referring to our
interview yesterday, when you
asked me to name the conditions
under which the L. q n. r. r. Co.
would permit the use of its bridge
by the people of the county of
Franklin for the passage of persons
and vehicles moved by animal
power, beg leave to propose that
the l.. q N. R. R. Co., while it in
sists that it is not legally bound to
keep the bridge open for public use,
or for the use of l.. A. Thomas or
any of his vendees, will complete
the bridge for the passage of it's
trains and for the passage of per-
sons and vehicles moved by animal
power, and will maintain the bridge
and roadway, providing the county
of Franklin will pay the cost of
maintaining competent and re-
liable watchmen, with authority to
regulate the movement of persons
and animals, and vehicles moved
by animal power, over the bridge,
SO as not in any way to interfere
with the movement of trains, and
will enter into an obligation to
protect the company from any loss
or expense that may result from
injury to persons or property by its
trains, or that may result from the
use of the bridge. The arrange
ment to continue in effect for three
years, and thereafter subject to alb
rogation by twelve months written
notice from either party to the
other. Yours truly,
M. H. SMITH,
President.
The committee answered stating
that they nor the Fiscal Court had
the power to protect the company
from loss for injury to persons or
property, and that such an agree
ment. would be void. They re-
quested the company to modify the
proposition in this respect, and to
state the number of watchmen
necessary, and the pay required, so
that the Court Of Claims could
know all the expense attached to
such an agreement, if entered into.

Catarrh Can't be Cured

With local applications, as they can

Catarrh is blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
have to take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally. and
acts directly on the blood and mu-
cous surfaces. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surface. The perfect
Z mbination of the two ingredients
is what produces such wonderful
re ults in curing catarrh. Send for

The floor Of the railroad bridge
was about completed yestt rday,
the finishing touches will be put

probably be thrown open for travel
Z Monday. The floor is a good
substantial one and a walk way

can cross at the same time trains
are going over. The walk ways
approaching the bridge are also
being repaired and the people liv-
