that the accession to the throne of the

the people any more than it needs for
the,proper administration of the govern
ment II it is collecting more it's proper
course is to cut down the collections,
not to devise new ways of eXpendlng
them. We would not counsel any mar
row parsimopy. The State is able. and
the people are willing and even anxious,
that its institutions should be well sup
ported, that it's public servants should
be paid fair salaries, and that all the
needs of the dependant classes shoula
be literally provided for. If new in
sane asylum is needed the State ought
to build one. It's public hospitals ought
to be we'll provided for, and the cause OF
education ought to be fostered with
liberal expenditures. But charity and
education can be made to cover multi
tude of unworthy and unjustifable de-
mands upon the treasury, and unless
the coming session is to be an exception
in this respect, they will be. Indeed
because of the good condition of the
treasury demands thus cloaked are likely
TO be much more abundant than usual.
For this reason there will be need or
closer scrutiny than usual. Maine has
not felt the hard times as badly as some
States. but it has by no means entirely
escaped. Business is depressed and the
profits of our industries, especially the
farming industry, are small. Every
concession, therefore, that can be made
to.the taxpayer, without Gripping ou1
State Institutions or detracting from the
efficiency of our State government ought
to be made. Too many legislators are
prone to forget that the State is pauper
and that it has no source of revenue but
the contributions of the people.

THE COMING LEGISLATURE.

The legislature meets at Augusta next
Wednesday. There is likely to be but
little time spent in organizing, for it is
conceded that the Hon. George M. Seiders
of this city will be chosen President of
the Senate without opposition. and the
Hon. LIewellyn Powers of Houlton is
generally understood to have a long lead
for the speakership of the House. The
Senate will contain not a single Demo-
crut, and the House but five or six. The
smaIlness of the opposition is not alto
gether favorable to wise legislation, be-
cause the party in opposition is necessa-
rily party of criticism, party that at
tacks and picks flaws in the legislation
of the majority, and by so doing dis
closes the weaknesses and bad points of
such legislation, thereby making the
majority more careful. Where no such
opposition exists-and this will be prac-
ticalIy the case in the next legislature
there is more danger of course of hasty
and ill-considered legislation. There
is such thing as too complete victory,
and unless the Republicans proceed care
fully and deliberately they are in danger
of finding that their victory Of last fall
was one of that kind.
Another danger which besets the legis-
lature lies in the excellent financial con-
dition of the State. With an empty purse
there is little danger that the State will
be extravaganza. But with treasury in
good condition there is always strong
temptation to be careless about expen-
ditures. 1t scarcely admits of a doubt
that there will be much greater demands
made upon the Stats this winter than for
many years past, on the plea that now
the State can afford many things which
it could net few years ago. 1t must
be borne in mind, however, that the
State has no moral right to collect from

more frequently in the cloak room than
in his seat; but whether in the CLOAK
room OF in his seat he is usually in earn
est conversation with some of his col
leagues. His influence with his party as
his sociates is directed toward holding
them down, with the view of assem- Ding
all their reserve force to deal with the
problems confronting them in their pro-
gress toward complete restoration IN
power and to avoid errors which are apt
to come from impetuosity. He does not
want them to assume any responsibilities
which do not belong to them, or to.make
any attempt to do the Impossible.
Though it is assumed that he will be
Speaker of the next House, he has not
yet disclosed his purposes i'll this partlcu-
lar. 1t is possible that he may decide
not to take the speakership. but this Is
not regarded as nc all probable. The
Importance to his party that the majority
in the next House should be kept in
check and guided by a mastery hand Is
too evident to admit of his taking the
risk of abandoning that position or pow
err.
PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATIONS.
While Reed never can be led into say
ing anything about his higher ambition
unless it is to those confidential friends
who are working to bring about It's graft
fcation-neither he nor his friends seek
in any way to make it appear as a mat
ter of doubt whether he will stand for
the presidential nomination. Apparently
they will go into this in the same bust
ness like manner that he went into the
fight for the speakership OF the Fifty-frst
Congress.
At the opening of that memorable con-
ties between Reed and Mckinley tine
Maine man had all his plans carefully
laid and never for a moment QUILTED the
Ger tainty of his own success. He is in a
certain sense a fatalist. After he has
mapped out what must happen" with
certain conditions to start under, the
thing is TO his mind as good as accom-
plished. When he once makes up his
mind to thing he is never troubled by
doubts OF apprehensions. 1t is said that
in looking ahead to the fight for the
presidential nomination he has no fear
whatever of Mckinley or Harrison. hut
regards Allison as a more dangerous
rival should there be hard fight.
