History of Bath and Environs, Sagada-
hoe County, Maine, 16o7-1s94. With
illustrations. By Parker McCobb Reed.
portland: Lakeside Press For ! sale by
Loring, Short & Harmon and Stevens
& Jones.) The town history is a public
benefaction. The man who writes it
may not always be gifted with the i'm
agination to picture the customs and
manners of the past SO as to make them
living reality to his readers, his sense
of proportion may be so faulty that his
picture is distorted, he may be, and Of
ten is, simply collector and preserver
of facts and traditions But if he is
only that, provided his work be carefully
and accurately done the results obtained
are certain to be of great and permanent
value. The writing of the history of
the towns of Maine is growing indus
try and it is one that ought to be stimu-
lated and encouraged. The latest work
of tn is kind is Mr.. Parker McCobb
Reeds history of Bath. Mr.. Reed is an
old resident of the place, descendant of
some of the early settlers, and lie entered
upon his work with enthusiasm. The
work gives evidence of much patient in
dustry and research. The early history
of the town has been carefully treated
and the hardships and perils which the
early settlers encountered are vividly
portrayed. The records of the own dur
ing the periods of the Revolution, the
War Of 1912 and the War of the Rebellion
have been thoroughly explored, and three
of the most interesting chapters of the
book treat of the town during these
periods. The rise and progress of the
shipbuilding business for which Bath is
chiefly noted form one of the most impor-
tant and valuable features of the book.
There is a great variety of information
in the book concerning Baths schools,
churches, charitable institutions, militia
companies, and long series of biog-
raphies of its prominent citizens. The
book contains many pictures of Baths
public buildings, ancient and modern.
and about twenty-five protraits. The
book is finely printed and illustrated BY
the Lakeside Press of Portland, and
makes very handsome volume.

tax levied during the war was an emer-
gency tax. The government was then
spending millions daily to put down the
rebellion, and was justified in resorting
TO every means in its power to raise
money. The people, understanding that
it was to be repealed the moment that
the exigency had passed tolerated it,
though even under those circumstances
it was an exceedingly unpopular tax and
collected with great difficulty. The
country is now at peace with everybody,
and there is no emergency at all calling
for such taxation. The revenues that
will come from the tariff features of the
bill will be ample for the support of the
government. When a tax was imposed
upon sugar all excuse for laying an in
come tax disappeared. Senator Voor-
hees admitted that the restoration of
the duty on sugar would fully meet any
deficiency that the bill as passed by the
House would create. He admitted that
every cent of revenue derived from the
income tax would be over and above the
amount needed to carry ON the govern
ment He estimated the amount from
this source as $50, 900, 900 per annum, so
that the effect of the income tax will be
to bring into the treasury $50, 900. 600
annually that are not needed, and the
effect of which will be to tempt Con-
gress into all sorts of extravaganza schemes
to get rid of it. One of the principal
charges brought against the Republicans
by the Democrats in the first Cleve-
land campaign was that they were tax
ing the people beyond the needs of the
government. Yet here are the Democrats
levying a direct tax and admitting that
the money that will be derived from it
is not needed for any legitimate govern
ment expenditure. And their only ex-
cuse for laying it is that certain sections
of the South and West demand it, To
say that there is any financial emergency
which demands it for one year or one
month is to say what is not true. Cor
man trumped up this explanation be-
cause he was ashamed to offer the true
one, which was that the Democrats had
surrendered to the demands of the Popu-
listic and communistic classes who hate
thrift and want to see a fine imposed
upon it. Germans defence of the tariff
feature of the bill was feeble and eva
sive, but his defence of the income tax
was little short of dishonest

The report of the House committee in
favor of amending the constitution so
that Senators shall be elected by the
people instead of by State legislatures, is
a step in the direction of making this
change. But it is only very short step.
and there is very slight prospect that
the other steps that are necessary will
be taken. Before an amendment can
be su omitted to the States for ratification
the Senate must adopt it as well as the
House, and there is no prospect to speak
of that the Senate will adopt this one.
Within few years past sentiment has
grown up undoubtedly in favor of the
change proposed by the House commit
tee. 1t has been due in large part to
stories of the corruption of State legisla-
lures in connection with senatorial con-
tests, and perhaps some of it is attri buta-
BILE to the Indifference that the upper
house is accustomed to manifest to
public sentiment. 1t is very doubtful,
however, if it is sufficiently strong to
oyerturn a practice which was estab-
ished by the fathers of the constitution,
and has been in vogue for a hundred
years, and even should an amendment
be submitted to the States there is little
likelihood that it would receive the
necessary approval of tvo-thirds of the
States. Possibly the time may come
when all overwhelming public sentiment
will demand and compel the change, but
the time is far off vet.

Lord Rosebery's government has got
through another ..crisis without defeat,
though its majority is small. The Irish
members appear to be standing by it
tolerably well, much better than was
feared while ago. Probably the recent
bye-elections which have not turned out
very well for Liberals, have opened
their eyes to the fact that dissolution
of Parliament and general election
at this time would probably result in
the return of a Tory majority, from
which they could expect nothing. They
have, therefore, very sensibly concluded
to wait until the outlook is more propiti-
GUS for insisting upon compliance with
all their demands.
