apologize for the part we took IN 1he
war. 1t is to be hoped that like trlals
will never again befall our country IN
this sentiment no class of people can
more heartily join than the soldier VINO
submitted to the dangers, trials ana
hardships of the camp and the battle
field, on whichever side he may have
fought. No class of people are more in
terested in guarding against recurrence
of those days. Let us then begin by
guarding against every enemy threaten
ing the perpetuity of free republican
institutions.
do not bring into this assemblage
politics. certainly not partisan politics,
but it is a fair subject for soldiers in
their deliberations to consider what may
be necessary to secure the prize Tor
which they battled. In republic like
ours, where the citizen is the sovereign
and the official the servant, where no
power is exercised except by the
will of the people, it is most inn
portant that the sovereign--the people
should possess intelligence. The free
school is the promoter of that intelll-
gence which is to preserve us as free
ation. If we are to have another
contest in the near future of our nation
al existence, / predict that the dividing
line will not be Mason and Dixon's, but
between patriotism and intelligence on
the one side, and superstition, ambition
and ignorance on the other. Now, IN
this centennial year of our existence,
believe it good time to begin the Work
of strengthening the foundation OF the
house commenced by our patriotic fore
fathers one hundred years ago at Con-
cord and Lexington.
Let us all labor to add all needed guar
antees for the more perfect security OF
free thought, free speech, and free press,
pure morals. unfettered religious senti-
ments, and of equal rights and privileges
to all men irrespective of nationality,
color or religion. Encourage free
schools, and resolve that not one dollar
of money appropriated to their support,
no matter how raised, shall be sappropr1-
ated to the support of any sectarlan
school. Resolve that neither the state or
nation, or both combined,
shall support institutions of
learning other than those sufficient
to afford to every child growing up in the
land the opportunity of good common
school education, unmixed with sectar
rian. pagan, or atheistical tenets. Leave
the matter of religion to the family altar,
the church and the private school, sup
ported entirely by private contribution.
Keep the church and state forever separ-
ate. With these safeguards believe the
battle which created the Army OF the
Tennessee" will not have been fought in
vain.

assess other sects for their support. NO
body of sense would ever offer such
reason as that publicly, however assldu-
ously he might work it in private. we
have heard it said also that there might
be danger of alternating some voters by
passing this amendment.
The announcement of President
Spears intention would seem
to indicate that there are some
good reasons for opposing this amend
ment which can be publicly stated, and
which are entitled to weight with intelli-
gent and fair-minded men animated as
legislators are assumed to be, with a
purpose to do what is best for the inter-
ests of the whole people. We shall
await their appearance with much GU
riosity.

The failure of the Mechanic Savings
bank of Auburn should serve as a warn
ing to the legislature not to hold out the
slightest encouragement or Involvement
to savings bank managers to make any
but the very best investments. Savings
bank managers, the best of them, are
fallible and with all the caution that
they can take they will sometimes make
mistakes and incur losses. But these
mistakes will certainly become more nu-
merous and more serious in their results
if strong inducement is held out to the
manag rs to hold their judgment in
allegiance. A muchl higher degree of
care ought to be imposed on and exer-
cised by men who are investing other
peoples money in the character of trus-
tees than when investing their own, and
all the Legislation of the State in regard
tosavings banks should keep this prin-
ciple in view.

GEN, GRANTS DIES MON Es SPEECH

GEN, GhAN1NS DES MUM Ed
One of the first men in the country to
call attention to the need of legislation
to protect American institutions was
Gen. Grant. 1t was in 1875 in a speech
to the Army of the Tennessee at Des
Moines that he called attention to the
Importance of this matter. That speech
has peculiar force now that the question
is being agitated in this State and is
likely to be presented to our Legislature,
and we reproduce it in full:
Comrades 1T always affords me much
qualification to meet my old comrades in
arms of ten to fourteen years ago. and to
live over again in memory the trials and
hardships OF those days, hardships i'm
posed for the preservation and perpetu-
alton of our institutions. We believed
then and believe now, that we had gov
eminent worth fighting for, and, if need
be, diving for. How many of our COM
rades of those days paid the latter price
for our preserved nation! Let their he
roism and sacrifices be ever green in our
memory Let not the results of their
sacrifices be destroyed. The Union and
the free institutions for which they fell
should be held more dear for their sacri-
fees. ~-vs,
We will not deny to any of those who
fought against us anv privileges under
the government which we claim for our
selves. On the contrary, we welcome
all such who come forward in good faith
to help build up the waste
places, and tie perpetuate our in
Situations against all enemies, as broth
ers in full interest with us in common
heritage. But we are not prepared to

A proposition is under discussion in
New Hampshire to SO modify the Aus
tralian ballot law so as to permit the use
Of a separate ballot for each party, in
stead of having all the party candidates
on one ballot as at present. The plan is
to have all the ballots printed by the
State as now, and all the ballots of ex-
actly the same size and appearance.
This plan would work well enough with
voters who wanted to vote the straight
ticket, but if man wanted to split his
ticket, that is vote for some of the candi-
dates of one party and some of he can
didates of another, he would be put to
so much trouble and inconvenience as
in many cases to amount practi-
cally to prohibition against voting any
way but straight.

THE PRESS.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 90.

The railroad commissioners are in
clined to take the ground that electric
railroads come within the scope of their
supervisory duties as well as steam rail
roads. This would seem to be a correct
position. When the commission was
established there were no railroads in
the State but steam railroads, but all the
reasons which made supervision neces-
sary there exist in the case of electric
roads, though in somewhat less degree,
and railroad is no less railroad be-
cause the cars that run upon it are pro-
PEELED by electricity instead of steam.
AS these roads multiply the need of su-
pervision will become apparent, if it is
not apparent now.

It is reported that President Spear of
the Senate has expressed his intention,
when the resolution for the constitutional
amendment asked for by the league for
the protection of American institutions
comes up, to leave the chair and attack
the resolution upon the floor. This in
dictates that Mr.. Spears opposition to
the amen ment is very strong, and i'm
plies that he is thoroughly conversant
with the matter. We shall look for Mr.,
Spears speech with good deal of inter
esq. He is an able man, and a speech
from him on any subject is deserving of
attention. But on this subject and on
the side of the subject which he es-
pouses it will be particularly interesting,
because it will show that something can
be said against the proposed amend
ment. We have watched somewhat
closely the discussion of the question IN
DERIVING this amendment, and UP to the
present time we have not seen or heard
anything that could be by the utmost
stretch of imagination called an argument
against it. We do not mean to say that
we have heard no objections made to it.
On the contrary we have heard many.
But with very few exceptions they were
objections that the people who made
them would not publicly proclaim-that
is, they were of nature that indicated
clearly that the opposition came from
the fact that certain institutions could
not lean on the State any longer if this
amendment was adopted, that the sects
to which they belonged could no longer
