From one point Of view it will be q
good thing to have the name of the
Stnts College of Agriculture and the Me-
cbanic Arts changed to that of The Uni
yersity of Maine With this change &C.
complished it will be more difficult in
future to keep up the pretence that this
college is especially farmers intitu
tion, and that to refuse it lavish appro-
priations every two years Is to discrimi-
nate against the farmers. 1t is by this
pretenos that the bulk of the gifts to it
from the State in the past have been Sc
cured. The momber of the legislature
who has undertaken to say that this
Orono institution was no more deserving
ofsState support than Bowdoin, or Colby.
or Bates, has been met by the reply that
the former was an institution especially
for the farmers boy to teach him agri-
culture, while the latter trained men
with view of entering the professions
and that therefore the former was especi-
ely deserving of the fostering care of the
State. About all the agriculture there
has been in the institution has been In
its name and with that changed it will
no longer be osible to fool the farmer
with the notion that this is his own in
stitution, especially for his benefit, and
that therefore he ought to stand by it.
to the extent if called upon, of violating
the spirit Of the constitution, as he has
recently been prevailed upon to do.

Gladstone's pamphlet on the Cretan

Chapter 26S Of the Public Laws of 1898
relating to the organization and control
Of street railroads, contained in seution
this provision:
But NO road shall be located under
this act, over any paved or macadamized
street In Any city in this State without
the permission of the mayor and alder
men thereof.
This bill PASSED to be engrossed by the
House Friday relating to street railroads
which purports to be amendory of and
additional to the act of 1898, referring
to the sixth section of the former act
says:
Said section is further amended by
striking out from the sixty fifth line
uf said section, the words, "paved or
maoadamized.
The natural inference would be that the
only important change in this part of tie
section had been the elimination of the
words ''paved and macadanized'' so
that the paragraph would read:
But no road shall be located under this
act, over any street in any city Ia this
State without the perm ission of the
mayor and aldermen thereof,
thus giving the mayor and aldermen
fuller control:of the streets that they had
bad under the old law. But an inspec-

The question Of international bimetal.
lism will have early and earnest atten-
tion. 1t will be my constant endeavor to
secure 1t by cooperation with the other
great commercial powers of the world.
Until that condition Is realized, when the
parity between our gold and silver money
springs from and Is supported by the rel.
ative value Of the two metals, the value Of
the silver already coined, and Of that
which may hereafter be coined,
must be kept constantly at
par with gold by every resource
at our command. The credit of the gov.
ernment, the integrity Of It's currency and
the inviolability of its obligations must
be preserved. This was the commanding
verdict of the people and it will not be un-
needed.
Economy II demanded.
Economy Is demanded in every branch
of the government ut all times, but esr
pecially in periods like the present de-
preston of business and distress among
the people, the severest economy must
be observed in all public expenditures,
and extravaganza stopped wherever it is
found and prevented wherever in the fu.
ture 1t may be developed. If the revenues
are to remain as now, the only relief that
can come must be from de-
creased expenditures. But the present
must not become tho permaIent
condition of the government 1t has been
our uniform practice to retire, not in
crease, our outstanding obligations, and
this policy must again be resumed and
vigorously enforced. Our revenue should
always be large enough to meet with ease
and promptness not only our current
needs, and the principal and interest Of
the public debt, but to make proper and
liberal provision for that most deserving
body of public creditors, the soldiers and
sailors, and the widows and orphans who
are the pensioners Of the United States.

TOPEKA, Kan, March A.--Webb Nc.
Nall, state superintendent Of insur.

necticut Mutual Life and the New

Your annual report for the year end
irg Dec. 81. 1896, has been received,
and in reply will say, as to issuing lie
cense for the ensuing year for your

fuses to issue to the Connccticut Mu-

to producer Is beneficial to all. The de-
pressed condition ON the farm and in the
mine and factory has lessened the ability
OF the people to meet the demands upon
them. and they rightfully expect that not
only system Of revenue shall be estab-
lished that will secure the largest revenue
with the least burden, but that every
means will be taken to decrease, rather
than increase, our public expenditures.
1t VIII Take Time.
. Business conditions are not the most
promising. 1t will take time to restore
the prosperity Of former years. If we
cannot promptly attain it, we can reso.
lutely turn our faces in that direction and
aid its return by friendly legislation.
1. However troublesome the situation
may appear, congress will not, am sure,
Z be found lacking in disposition or ability
to relieve it, as far as legislation can Dc
90. The restoration Of confidence and thu
revival Of business, which men of all par.
ties so much desire, depend more largely
upon the prompt, energetic and intelligent
action of congress than upon any othe,
single agency affecting the situation.
II IL inspiring, too, to remember that Nc
great emergency in the 1Os years of ou1
eventful national life has ever arisen that
has not been met with wisdom and cour-
age by the American people with fidelity
to their best interests and highest destiny,
and to the honor of the American name.
These years of glorious history have OK.
alted mankind and
Advanced the. Cause OF Freedom
throughout the world and immeasurably
strengthened the precious free institutions
which we enjoy. Vhe people love and
will sustain these institutions The great
essential to our happiness and prosperity
is that we adhere to the principles upon
which the government was established
and insist upon their faithful observance.
Equality of rights must prevail and oul
laws be always and everywhere respected
and obeyed. We may have failed in the
discharge of our full duty as citizens OF
the great Republic, but it is consolng
and encouraging to realize that free
speech, free press, free thought, fre.
schools, the free and unmolested right OF
religious liberty and worship and free and
tlir elections are dearer and more univer.
sally enjoyed today than ever before.
One of the lessons taught by the late
election, which all can rejoice in, is that
the citizens Of the United States are both
law respecting and law abiding people, not
easily swerved from the path of patriotism
and honor. This is in entire accord with
the genius of our institutions, but empha-
sizes the advantages of intoxicating even q
greater love for law and order in the fu.
tnre.

The paramount duty Of congress Is to stop

H.. The Reciprocity Principle.
In the revision of the tariff, especial at
tention should be given to the re-enact-
ment and extension of the reciprocity

products of our country by granting con-
cessions to the products Of other lands

Agriculture and Labor Have Suffered.
The depression Of the past four years
has fallen with especial severity upon the
great body Of the country and upon none
more than the holders Of small farms.
Agricu. ture has languished and labor snf-
fered. The revival of manufacturing will

times like the present. Suitably TO pro-
vide against this is the mandate of duty;
the certain and easy remedy for most OF
our financial difficulties. A deficiency il
inevitable SO long as the expenses Of the
government exceed it's receipts. It can
only be met by loans or an increased rev.
enue. While large annual surplus OF
revenue may invite waste and extrava
gance, inadequate revenue creates distrust
and undermines public and private credit.
Neither should be encouraged. Between
more loans and more revenue there should
be but one opinion. a
We should Have More Revenue,
and that without delay, hindrance OF
postponement. A surplus in the treasury
created by loans is not a permanent OF
safe reliance. It will suffice while it lasts,
but it cannot last long while the outlays
OF the government are greater than it's re-
ceipts, as has been the case during the past
two years. Nor must it be forgotten that
however much such loans may tenporar-
lily relieve the situation, the governments

ued deficit Loans are imperative in
great emergencies to preserve the govern.
ment or its credits, but failure to supply
needed revenue In time Of peace. for the
maintenance of either has no justification.
Best Way to Maintain Credit.
The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is to pay as it goes
not by resorting to loans, but by keeping
out Of debt-through an adequate income
secured by a system of taxation, external
or internal, or both. 1t is the settled pol
icy of the government pursued from the
beginning and practiced by all parties and
istrations to raise the bul k Of our
revenue from taxes upon foreign produc-
tions entering the United States for sale
and consumption and avoiding for the
most part every form of direct taxation,
except in time of war. The country Is
clearly opposed to any needless additions
to the subject of internal taxations, ex-
cept in time of war.
No Mistake About the Manner.
There can be no misunderstanding,
either, about the principle upon which
this tariff taxation shall be levied Moth.
ing has ever been made palmer at a gen.
eral election than that the controlling
principle in the raising of revenue on i'm.
ports is jealous care for American inter.
ests and American labor. The people
have declared that such legislation should
be had as will give ample protection and
encouragement to the industries and
the development of our country. 1t Is,
therefore, earnestly hoped and expected
that congress will, at the earliest practi'
cable moment. enact revenue legislation
