\ Non-partilan City Government.
+ The action of the city committees OF
the republican and democratic parties
in Joining in request for an express
sion of opinion from the board of trade
as to a non partizan citizens ticket at
the coming election, is a most signiti-
cant thing
Apparently the request was made in
the utmost good faith; it was treated
seriously by the board. and a unanl-
nous vote favoring such movement
was passed.
A move of this sort is one devoutly
to be wished The bane of the country
town or small city is partizanship In
local affairs 1t is undemecratic, and
is utterly subversive of the grand old
New England town meeting idea.
If partizanship can be eliminated
from Ellsworth's local elections, an
era of good feeling. of material prog
ress. and of union, is begun. y more
desirable adjunct to the splendid work
already begun by the board of trade
than this proposed non partizan
movement, can scarcely be imagined.
1t is true that movements of this
sort have been attempted here before,
and have failed But conditions have
changed; the necessity for pushing
for more business stares this commu-
nitv in the face. Natural advantages
we possess in large measure; money
is not superabundant, but there's
enough; it is concerted action that
has been lacking, and that happily,
is now being developed.
Add to this most desirable develop
ment that of local government UNI
trammelled by partizanship, and the
strides toward what Ellsworth now
most needs industrial Development
will be swift and long.
BY all means, voters of Ellsworth,
encourage the scheme; nay, more
insist upon it, act upon it, and let our
coming municipal election demon
etrate the triumph Of local pride over
peanut politics.

About the state House.


But little business relating especially to
Hancock county WAS transacted during
the pest week The hearing before the
committee on towns in relation to the
division Of sullivan, which took place
Thursday afternoon, is reported i'll full
tisew mere.
In the Senate on Tuesday, Feb. ), on
motion of Senator Simpson, it was or
dered that the committee ON interior
waters be requested to inquire into the
expediency of SO amending the act per
tanning to he right of fishermen on lakes
in Hancock county, as to permit them
to employ other fishermen on said ponds
to tend their five lines while the owners
of said five lines are absent solely for the
purpose of obtaining bait for said lines
and for the lines of the fishermen so en-
ployed to tend their lines.
Last week Senator Simpson introduced
a bill to preserve the purity of public
water supplies, Section provides that
the State board of health may make rules
and regulations for the protection from
contamination OF the sources OF public
water supply in the State. These regula-
tions may pertain to drainage, etc. 1t
also ant horizes The board to determine
the source from which the public water
supplies may be taken and no water
works shall be constructed until the
source of its supply has first been APP
proved by the State board of health.
Such rules and regulations shall not be
operative until they have been approved
by one of the justices of the supreme jul
dcial court; notice be published, and be
recorded in the registry OF deeds. Trial
justices and municipal and police courts
shall have jurisdiction of such offences
subject to appeal. The State board shall
be required to exercise such powers only
upon applicatio of a water company.
In the House on Tuesday, Feb. 5, Mr.
Rodick of Eden, presented remonstrance
against granting further powers TO the
Bar Harbor water company. Also petit

excellent suggestion that the town of
Eden, before it is too late, purchase
the few remaining points of attrac-

insure their being kept open to the

it pleads are the top of Green noun

Railroad Commissioners Report.

The State board of railroad com
missioners has submitted its thirty
sixth annual report. THE AMERICAN
is pleased to acknowledge the receipt
of copy of this report, printed in
handsome book form. The board
submits comprehensive report, with
statistics carefully compiled, and con-
veniently arranged for reference. A
large railroad map, showing new
lines, accompanies the book.
An excellent likeness of Col. A. w.
Wilde, of Skowhegan, who served
as railroad commissioner from 1861 to
1894, and who died during the past
year, appears as a frontispiece to the
book, which also contains memorial
TO the late commissioner.
The report shows the total mileage
of steam railroads in the State to be
1,5l599, an increase of 1865 over
1898. In reference to transportation
and earnings the report says:
1.-THE gross earnings for transportation OF
passengers and freight on steam railroads, as
shown by the returns made to the board for the
year ending June 3d. 1894, do not indicate that
railroad corporations operating railroads in
Maine have suffered so seriously on account of
the business depression which has prevailed
during the past year, as those in other portions

use all due diligence to expedite such

feared effect To carry out the at
torney generals ideas would be an
attempt by the executive branch of
the government to encroach upon the
prerogatives of the judicial branch.
The failure of its numerous recent at
tempts to control the legislative
branch should be warning enough.
When Senator Lee Mantle, of Mon
tana, took the oath of Office, the dem
oeratic majority of the Senate disap-
peared-let us hope, never to come
back again. The Senate now consists
of eightysix members, forty three
democrats, thirty eight republicans
and five populists When the repub
lican senators from Wyoming and
Washington take their seats, the Sem
ate will be full for the first time for
several years, and forty five will be
majority. The only change made by
the accessons to the Senate, from a
financial point of view, is to stregthen
the silver men, who already had
majority. AS an answer to appeals
which have been made to them to
and pass a financial bill. several re-
publican senators have made a careful
canvass of the Senate, and the result
is that forty seven senators are for
the free coinage of silver and thirty
nine against it. The free coinage men
will have forty nine votes when the
Washington and Wyoming senators
arrive.
\ bill was introduced in the State
legislature last week by Representa-
tive Hamlin, relating to nuisances and
the protection of public health. The
object of the bin is to define more
clearly the powers and duties of local
boards of health, and to extend the
powers in some directions not now
provided by our existing laws. but
which are present in those of most
other states. One important pro-
vision of the bill is that when any
person is aggrieved by the local board
OF health relating to a nuisance, he
may appeal to the county commits
sioners. This provision resembles
that in the law of Massachusetts
The bill also makes special provision
in relation to tuberculosis in animals,
and local boards are required to re-
port cases of tuberculosis or CHAMBERS
in domestic animals.
