On the Right Track.

The GOLD LEAF feels encouraged.
There has been revival Of interest

factories and a diversity of manufact-
uring industries. Our people are now
talking factories and going to work to
secure them. At last the situation has
been looked squarely in the face and
the truth realized. \ move must be

The Druggist Bill.

To the Editor of the Press:
Although strong Prohibitionist and
opposed to the druggist bill now before
the legislature l coincide with the sug-
gestion in yesterdays PRESS and believe
that if the bill was so amended that no
druggist should be allowed to sell for
medicinal purposes except on the pre-
scription by regular established physi-
clan, very large part of the Third
Party leaders, also the rank and file OF
the party would approve of the measure,
I believe there is no provision in the bill
for the selling of liq or for mechanical
purposes. By adding an amendment to the
bill allowing druggists to sell alcohol for
mechanical purposes under the same
restrictions now contained in the bill for
the selling of liquors for medicinal pur-
poses, and repeating the law allowing
towns and cities to establish liquor
agencies I believe we should have a
law that would be satisfactory to every
honest, high minded druggist, and to a
large majority of the people throughout
the state. I have interviewed several
druggists in reference to these amend
ments and they agree with me that this is
the best way to settle this difficult ques-
ton. CARLTON KIMBALL.

while majority Of the committee has

While majority Of the committee has
voted in favor of an appropriation Of
5000, 900 to begin the erection OF an in
sane hospital at Bangor, It is altogether
probable that there will be minority re-
port and that the question will give rise
to lively debate iu the House and Sem
ate. The state of the finances makes it
exceedingly desirable that the building
of this hospital should be postponed, if
it can be done and at the same time the
State fulfil its duty to the insane. Diff
ference of opinion on this point gives
rise to the difference of opinion in regard
to the appropriation. With the utmost
economy which can be practiced the
legislature is likely to find it very diff
cult to confine the appropriations within
the revenues ofSthe State under the pres
emit rate of taxation.

"Reedism" is Again INDICATED.
ALBANY Journal

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed has re-
ceived many vindications of his cele-
brated parliamentary rulings in the
Fifty-first House. Iadeed Mr.. Reed has
had the personal satisfaction of being on
the floor of Congress and an eye and ear
witness of these fattering incidents.
They have come to him, d Republican,
from the very political opponents, who
but two short years ago, were crowding
about the speakers rostrum and de-
nouncing him as ''tyrant," s'despot''
and Gear" or kicking down the doors
of the House in their mad attempt to es-
cape his determination to transact pub
lie business.
Another triumph awaits Mr.. Reed.
1t is announced from Washington that
the anti-silver Democrats are all diligent-
ly working to secure cloture amend
ment to the rule, setting day fol-
the consideration of the Andrew Cate
measure for the reneal of the existing
silver law. The committee on rules will
not report such an amendment, of its
own accord; and the anti-silver Demo
Gratis are, therefore, signing memorial
asking thai this action be taken by the
committee. These anti-silver Democrats
fortified by the Democratic national plat
form, which demands repeal of the OK
listing silver law, are confident that the
signatures of majority of the Demo
Gratis in the House can be obtained.
During the first session of the present
Democratic House. when the free silver
Democrats were in majority, a similar
memorial asking for a cloture rule was
presented to the committee on rules and
the free silyerites were indignant when
their request was refused.
Both the anti-silver and the free silver
Democrats, with scarcely an exception,
therefore, are now on record in favor of
a cloture rule-the right to demand the
previous question.
1.-THE Journal congratulates the De-
mocracy that at last it has perceived the
far-sighted wisdom of Thomas B. Reed
and admitted the right of the majority
to rule, even if. thereby, an irresponsible
minority is rendered powerless to OBJ
struct wilfully the transaction of public
business. We heartily approve the
course of Speaker Reed in the Fifty-frst
Congress, and we commend the Democ-
racy,-both the free silver and the anti
silver wings at last it has recog-
nized the principle on which the tran
saction of the public business in Congress
must depend, the right of majority
possessed, as it is of responsibility, as
well as power, to transact business.
Among all the ssgrievous'' and "outra-
geous'' acts of Speaker Thomas B. Reed,
this right to demand the previous ques-
ton; to shut off debate after a reason
able time had elapsed; to prevent wilful
distractions; to permit the majority to
rule; to facilitate the transaction of
public business, was by all odds the
browning act of an UNANIMOUSLY partisan
speaker under whose rule the House had
ceased to be "a deliberative BODY
Since turning over the gavel to Charles
F. Crisp, Thomas B. Reed has enjoyed
many triumphs, but none to equal this
of the present hour.
Democratic editors and ora ors owe
apologies, by the thousand, to the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed of Maine. Let them be
given!
Limitation is the sincerest fattery.''

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Q.

The Massachusetts House of Repre-
sentatives following Gov. Russells sug-
gestion has abolished Fast cay and the
Senate will probably follow suit. The
day long since ceased to be what it was
designed originally to be-a day of hui
initiation. fasting and prayer-and has be-
come simply day of public recreation
and amusement. That being the case
there is no longer any sense in calling it
Fast day.

The auditors report of the condition on
February LIST of the appropriations made for the
municipal year now fast drawing to close
shows that careful business management must
have characterized this administration of our
city's affairs. While nothing that was needful
for the preservation or Improvement of the
city's property, the advancement of its schools,
or the care of its poor has been left undone,
and notwithstanding more work of permanent
character has been begun, finished and paid for
than has been the case in many years, large
balances still remain to the credit OF most OF
the appropriations. At this time over two hun
dred and thirty thousand dollars of the appro..
priations made for this year remain nfexpended
and out of it q large addition to the sinking
fund will crown the benefits that our city has
received by placing the management of its
affairs in the hands OF its present able public
servants. -[Eastern Argus.
The auditors report shows no such
thing. They money which he has on
hand is not the money saved to the city
by an economical administration; but
money with which the city has to meet
bills that have been contracted. For in
stance, in the eover two hundred and
thirty Thousand dollars which the
Argus refers to SO grandly, are $59, S44. so
for the payment of interest on the city s

When the salaries and outstanding
bills are paid the city treasury is more
likely to be as bare as Mother Hubbard S
cupboard, rather than in the magnificent
condition portrayed in the Argus's glow
ing editorial.

One of the funniest petitions yet put
into the legislature comes from Mon

greatly injured the institution, it needs
more money to keep up with the times,

We do not believe any compromise
between the public and the pa
rochial school is possible, either along
the lines suggested by Archbishop Of
Ireland or any other lines. The expert
ments at Saltwater and Faribault have
both proved failures. The public school
system must be kept free from sectarian-
ism of every description if 1T would be
preserved. No assistance in carrying it
on, Director indirect, can be accepted
from any sect as such without sooner or
later identifying it in some degree with
the peculiar religious Beliefs of that sect.
Any movement in that direction, no
matter how sincere its advocates may
be, is mistake and in the long run can
only be productive of disaster.

sity of the proposed constitutional
amendment forbidding all appropriations
for sectarian schools. We have no doubt
there are good many academies in
this State now receiving State aid
which are no more worthy of it
than this academy. The free high
school is supplying their places and sup
plying them we'll. Not only therefore,
is the amendment needed to break up a
practice which is opposition to our
theory of government, but a practice
also which oftentimes puts burden on
the taxpayers that is productive of no
benefit, but of positive harm.

There is no lack of law on the subject
of Sunday dissertation at the present
time. Our statutes provide that:

ness, travels, or does any work, labor or busi-
ness on that day, except work of necessity or
charity. uses any sport. game or recreation; or
Is present at any dancing public diversion
show or ente tainment, encouraging the same,

lars.
We're this law enforced no excursion
trains would be run because nobody could
afford to travel. The law, however, has
become dead letter so far as the prohi
bition against travel is concerned,
though public sentiment still sustains it
and compels its enforcement against
open shops and entertainments. The
bill before the legislature undertakes to
revive the portion of the law which has
become obsolete, so far as to forbid the
running of excursion trains and steam
boats. Travel by private conveyance is
not forbidden. This distinction is inn
perative for public sentiment would not
sustain law against travel by private con-
veyance and it could not be enforced. Yet
this distinction weakens very much the
position of the petitioners, because it
furnishes some ground for saying that
the law discriminates against the poor
who can only travel or go on excursions
in public conveyance like railroad
Car or steamboat. The ultimate
purpose of the petition is
praiseworthy, but whether the
average public sentiment would
sustain such law as is proposed
for any considerable length of time
is open to grave doubt A few
years ago when Sunday railroad
and steamboat excursions were just de-
veloping it would have been compare
lively easy matter to have stopped them
but thew have got SO popular now that
the task is greatly intensified.

very great responsibility resting upon
1t. 1t should therefore be deliberative
body, composed of men who will be in
spired with the single purpose of giving
the voters of the city a ticket composed
of able and clean men. No man in 1t
should be so easily influenced as to be
moved by cheers or any of the methods
often adopted to carry conventions by
storms of applause. If the matter were
to end with the convention, that would
do; but the ticket nominated will be as
sailed. not only by the enemy. but will
be scrutinized by thousands OF voters as
they meet in places OF business. In work.
