what it is. Evasion is sure sign that
the thing proposed is somethi ng differ
ent or something more than what it
seems.
Economy in appropriations is demand
ed by every tax payer, and the legislator
cannot be over scrupulous in this matter
He is spending not his own money but
the money of the people which has been
placed i'll his hands as trustee, and every
consideration of honor and honesty
should prompt him to observe the great
est care that it is spent only for such
things as the public interests demand.
The laborer is worthy of his hire whether
he be public or a private servant and
therefore there is no reason or justice in
screwing down the salaries of public
officers below reasonable figure. On
the other hand their is no reason for pay
ing salaries in excess of private corpora
lions or individuals for similar work. A
fruitful source of expenditure is the
claims set up under the head of charita-
oio bAu cOuCdIlOubl purposes. MANY
of these are just and should be recog
nized, but it ought not to be assumed be-
cause a thing is labelled charity or edu-
cation that it deserves the assistance
of the state. A great many questionable
demands upon the treasury masquerade
under these DISCUSSES. Neither is the
fact that thing may be worthy and use
full sufficient excuse for appropriating
money for it. The State like the indi-
vidual must get along without many use
full and desirable things because it can
not afford them. 1t must always be
borne in mind that the State has no re-
sources, but that every dollar it expends
must come out of the pocket of the tax
payer. Therefore the ability of the tax
payer must be constantly kept in
view as well as the value and desirability
of the thing proposed. 1t is always more
agreeable to grant money than to refuse
it, but justice to the citizens demands
that the legislature should do the latter
quite as often as the former.
The Portland daily press., 1893-01-04

1t seems to be practically settled that
the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge is to sue
coed Mr.. Dawes as United States Senator
from Massachusetts,. This is as it ought
to be. Mr.. Lodge is in every way quail
fed to adorn that position. He is gem
tleman of great ability, of wide informa-
ton, of scholarly tastes, of strong con-
victions and with the courage to defend
them. He is also thorough going Re
publican who believes thoroughly in his
party's principles and has stood by
them under all circumstances. In short
he is stalwart, who has never coquetted
with Democrats nor sought advancement
by pandering to the namby-pambyism
which seems to be the delight of a great
many Massachusetts, statesmen. His
election will be great triumph for
straight Republicanism in the Bay State.

THE s1xrY-s1xrH LEGISLATURE.

The sixty-sixth legislature of Maine
will promptly organize today with the
election of the Hon. A. NJ. Spear, Of Gar
diner as President of the Senate and
Judge A. r. Savage, of Auburn, as
Speaker of the House. Governor
elect Cleaves will be inaugurated to.
morrow, and we may be certain that his
inaugural address will contain many
wise and useful suggestions which the
legislature will find for the interest of
the State to act upon. The first week
of the session is always period of prep
aration. The machinery will not be in
running order until next week, when the
actual business of the session will be-
gin.
AS in legislatures for many years past,
the Republicans will be in SO over
whelming majority that the entire re-
sponsibility for legislation will fall upon
them. If that legislation is wise they
will deserve and receive the credit for it.
If it is unwise they will equally deserve
and receive public condemnation. It
behooves the Republican members,
therefore, to act with elaboration and
with circumspection. The chief danger
of bad legislation lies in the passage of
measures without clear understanding
of their full purport. So many meas
ures are crowded into the session that
some of them may not be sufficiently
scrutinized. Most of the faults of pre-
vious sessions have been the result of
misunderstanding the true inward
ness of bills that have been presented.
Many measures come from outside the
the legislature and are prepared by par
ties WHO are seeking their own private
interests rather than the public veal,
and unless they are studied with great
care the legislator is liable to be de-
ceived as to their real i'm port and intent
Measures which look innocent enough
on their surface sometimes turn out
cunningly contrived schemes to gain an
unfair advantage for some corporation
or individual. Pitfalls are constantly
being SCI LOT Legislators anu uuleSS tHoy
proceed with great caution they are
sure to fall into some of them. A wise
rule for the legislator to adopt is to take
nothing for granted, but insist that every
measure shall be thoroughly explained
when it is offered, and all questions
regarding it's character frankly and fully
answered. Nobody who has an honest
purpose will refuse to explain precisely

TH-E PRESS.
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 4.

Whatever opinions people may hold of
the past conduct Of the Portland Water
Company, nobody can regard the propo-
sjtion of its President to refer the con-
tract with the city which is now in dis
pnte to the Supreme Court for an opin-
ion as to it's vaidity-the city, pending
the decision, to Withhold any further pay
ments on the contract-otherwise than
fair and just to all parties. 1t seems to
us that it was entirely unnecessary to
refer it to the committee on legal affairs,
and that it ought to have been accepted
and acted upon without any delay.

Why Is II?

Will some Of the good Republicans
who were not at the Louisville conven-
ton and who still worship at the Nc
Kinley shrine because protection"
makes wages high and prevents the in
PRODUCTION here of the pauper wages of
Europe please tell us why it is that New
England and the middle states manufac-
ture most of our cotton goods while the
average earnings of the employees in
the cotton mills in 1891 were 1886 in
New England, $332 in the middle states
and only $21O in the south? Are wages
higher in New England because New
England is protected from the south by
tariff duties?
If high and low wages are the only
considerations which induce or prevent
the establishment of particular indus
try in a particular locality or country,
why is not the south now producing all
of our cotton goods? Why is it that be-
sides offering an abundant supply of
''cheap" labor the south has to give
bonuses to get cotton manufacturers to
locate there? Is all of this talk mere
hocus pocus to frighten and befuddle
the common laborer9 Is protection" to
the wage Garner a sham, and a nearly
played out oae at that?-Ar,erican IN
