One of the "crankv newspapers OF
Oregon says: "were the referendum
In vogue not more than one-baIf the
measures enacted by the Legislature
would ever dare be submitted TO the
peopls, or II they were, would stand
not the rsmotest chance Of success"
But, a. rule those measures which
were the most rational and useful which
had best approval in experience and
intelligence, would be rejected, while
those which were most stupid and mos.

The demand for the referendum, or

from the fact that the bulk Of legisla-

other process could 80 many multi

The fact that the total population
Of the United States has fallen below
the popular estimate Of o4,00O,oOO "
likely 10 call attention 10 the feoundity
Of American women. Not long ago q
newspaper took census OF the children
In certain fashionable quarters IN New
York city and brought 10 light the fact
that comparatively few children gladden.
the spacious homes Of Murray hill, and
that the birth rate there was alarmingly
low. The last state census OF Massachu-
setts brings out some interesting facts in
relation TO the percentage of married
women having no children. Here is a
table compiled from the Massachusetts,
census showing the percentage OF native
and of foreign born women having no
children.
Evening capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1888-1893, 1893-04-28

Here we find that one-ffth Of the mar
ried women Of Massachusetts, are child
less. II is said that in no country save
France can similar condition Of affairs
be found. On the other hand, instead
of over 20 per cent, only 1927 per cent.
of the foreign born women Of Massachu-
setts are e-childless. What is true OF this
state Is undoubtedly in greater or less
degree true throughout the country.
The time has come when we must face
the fact that the increase Of population
by birth is decreasing that the tendency
of the times among well to do Ameri-
cans Is to small families, and that one
fifth of our native married women are
childless. ss.--Chicago Tribune.

REGISTERING HUNTERS.


a police commission in Biddeford caused
good deal of parliamentary sharp shoot
| ing. Senator Grindle's speech against
the listing bill was one of the events of
the week and bristled with sharp say
ings. On the savings bank question,
| Portland was well represented, Messrs.
Emerson and Bird both opposing the dis
| eliminating clause. Mr.. Emerson has
received many congratulations for his
| effort which commanded the close atten-
| ton of the House. The arguments in
favor of the druggist bill were
presented with the earnestness and
| in the interesting manner which
| marks the utterances of Mr.. Peakes.
The week closes with the listing bill
hanging in the balance in the Senate, the
savings bank bill waiting action there
and the druggist bill dead. 1t is true
committee permitting druggists to sell
liquor but there is little chance that
either will pass at this stage of the game.
If the Senators vote as now seems prob
able the listing bill is dead, but its friends
secured a pOstponement until Wednes-
day in the hope that the tide might turn
again in their favor AS to the savings
bank matter, it is the general opinion
that the boomers bill, discriminating
clause and all, will pass the Senate.
Mr.. Morrill,, of Portland, is sure of
close attention when he addresses the
House and his recent speeches on the
bill to protect the label of labor unions
and the Biddeford police matters were
able and eloquent Next week as has
been the past will be largely devoted to
speech making on the important matters
still pending and at its close the legisla-
tors are likely to be at their places with
considerable work still before them.
Among the laws made in the past
week, are those embodied in several bills
of interest to members of the legal pro-
fession and which have been already des-
cribed. These include the bills relating
to articles by or against executors
and administrators, relating to
laws by execution, relating to
suits at law and in equity in the
Supreme Judicial and Superior 4Qougts;
relating to limitations of personal actions i
relating to the regulation of fees and
costs. aE M
The deputy commissioner of labor is
now the inspector of shops and factories,
mines and quarries. The school district
has at last been abolished, the Governor
signing the bill Friday. Additional powers
asked for by the Maine Universalist con-
vention have been granted. The railroads
of course get some attention the bill. pro-
viding for the keeping of records Of the
conditional sale of railway equipments
and that defining the manner in which
interlocking signals may be established
at railway crossings now being laws.
OF the insurance bills, that incorporat-
ing the Safety Casualty Company, that
limiting the time within which notice of
accident, or injury or death shall be
given to accident or casualty insurance
companies to period of less than 80
days, and that to amend chapter 237,
public laws of 1889, relating to life and
casualty insurance on the assessment
plan have been approved.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In the report of my remarks at the
Congregational Club last Monday even
ing, in behalf of Bangor Seminary, con-
tanned in the PRESS Of March 18th, one
item presented SO glowing an account of
our prosperity that my appeal would
seem quite unnecessary. When our be-
loved Alma Mater becomes the happy
possessor of an ''income of S17O, 0O0''
She will never have to call for pecuniary
assistance from her family. Unfortu-
nately the $4,000 is not her income, but
her capital. And the little incident
which closed my address was as direct
an appeal as I had the courage to make
to the hearts and pockets of our friends,
for such gifts and legacies as would suf-
6ciently endow the seminary for the
great work which the churches require
of her. JOHN S. SEWALL.
