Some people scorn to be taught,
others are ashamed of it, as they would
be of going TO school when they are
old; but 1t is never too late to learn that
it is always necessary to know. And
it is a shame not to learn so long as we
are ignorant-that is to say, so long as
we live.

Ex-Governor Davis Dead.

Daniel +. Davis, ex-governor of Maine,
died suddenly III Bangor Saturday morn
ing, aged fiftythree years. Mr.. Davis
bad been in poor health for some time.
His death was due to over work. His
friends had long warned him that he WAS
overtaxing his strength and urged him
to desist, but his ambition led him to
over-estimate his strength. He was one
Of the busiest and most respected citizens
OF Bangor.
The death of Governor Davis recalls
an interesting snd exciting chapter in
Names history-the exciting times that
followed the State election in 1879 W hen
there was no choice by the people, thus
throwing the election into he legislature.
This failure OF the republicans to elect
was the result OF fusion by the democrats
and greenbackers. A most bitter dispute
arose over the election returns in January
1880. Both parties organized legislatures
and bloodshed was barely averted.
Appeal was made to the courts, and the
republican position sustained. The legis-
lature organized by the fusionists was de-
cared illegal, and the one organized by
the republicans was declared the legal
one. 1t WAS this latter body that elected
Mr.. Davis governor.

The state-house has been greatly en-
iarged since | WAS here twenty. three
years ago, and he working force nearly
doubled. just now We are resting. The
organization has been effected, and legis-
lature has adjourned, awaiting the APP
poiutment OF committees.
One almost mourns the waste of time
by these prolonged and red-tape met hods.
Surely this business age demands a
shorter connection between laws and
legislators. The scramble for prominence
on committees, We fear, got slightly
mixed with the attorney general con-
test, and the announcements may cause
some surprise.
The rush for petty glory was painfully
manifest i'll the eloquent and patriotic
speeches made i'll nominating folders of
the house-but they got there in spite of
their friends.
The House bids fair to be a TALK ing one,
with twenty-one lawyers, some of them
brilliant i'll their profession. With a
flood of petitions, bills and orders to
dispose of, we hardly expect to break
loose from our moorings until the mel
low days Of spring kindle irresistible
longings for return to the joys of home
and the delights of nature.
A party of US made visit to the insane
hospital to-day. By courtesy OF D.. San
born, a most amIable general, we were
shown through the buildings, most ex-
tensive and imposing group. Everything
is kept with scrupulous neatness, but
how one man can daily take the mental
temperature OF 800 patients it is diff
cult to conceive.
We CLEANED few facts from the doctor
while passing through. The number of
patients has nearly doubled since the war.
There is about an equal nun Der of males
and females. The average age is about
forty-six. The buildings are crowded.
We were taken through the barns and
long tie-ups running between and con-
Meeting them. Everything that money
and modern convenience could suggest
was visible. The farm contains about
600 acres, 300 under cultivation. About
l 200 ox-loads of dressing besides tons of
phosphate are applied to maintain and
increase the fertility of the soil. In win
ter fifteen, and in summer eighteen, farm
hands are employed.
The barn has a deep basement, walled
with brick, cemented floor with furnace.
Here are housed plows, harrows and carts

Byron Boyd, Names new secretary of
State, was only few years ago Han
cock county school teacher. His first
school, after graduating from Colby in
1886, was Bar Harbor high. But he did
not teach long. The summer of 1887
found him taking tickets on Green Noun
tain S railway, then in its glory. He also
dabbled little in the business world of
the booming summer resort, owning an
interest i'll a livery stable. He drifted
from Bar Harbor to the state house in
Augusta, where he accepted a clerkship
in January, 1889. Since then he has been
rapidly climbing the political ladder,
and it is due to his own ability, hard
work and perseverance that to-day finds
him in he comfortable chair of the sec
rotary Of state. Mr.. Boyd is only thirty
two years of age.

most vicious type. Men and women
convicted for heinous crimes, some
being cold-blooded murders, have had
their prison doors thrown open by
the governor. Among the nineteen
pardons granted by the governor last
week, one of the most surprising cases
was that of John McGrath, of the
famous Mortell McGrath gang, who
killed three men, and dangerously
wounded two police officers who
were trying to arr est him. He was,
perhaps, more feared by the police
than any other crook in the West,
being known as ''gun fighter.
Other life prisoners and murderers
were among those pardoned.

1t is now announced with evident
authority that Congressman Dingley
will not accept the treasury portfolio,
which has been rendered him by Pres
ident- elect Mckinley. Mr.. Dingley's
reasons for preferring not to go into
the Cabinet are the fear that he is not
physically strong enough to perform
the work of the Office, and that he
could be more helpful to the repub-
ican party in its work of putting on
the statute books tariff law that will
provide sufficient revenue for the
operations of the government as rep
resentative from the State of Maine
and chairman of the ways and means
committee than as secretary of the
treasury.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1897-01-14

The fact most strongly brought out
by the first week of the tariff hearings
before the House ways and means
committee is that, taken as whole,
the men who have appeared before
the committee have taken a common
sense business view of the tariff, and
have asked for nothing that could not
be granted without violating the an
nounced intention of the committee
to make a moderate tariff bill-iust
enough protection TO give our own
manufacturers, producers and work
ing men the first call on the Ameri-
can market, admittedly the best in
the world. Needless to say that
Chairman Dingley and his republican
colleagues on the committee are
pleased with the hearings as far as
they have gone. IL would have been
waste of time for anybody to have
asked unreasonable things, but it is
none the less pleasing that they have
not done so.

Elsewhere may be found extended
extracts from the inaugural message
of Governor Powers. AS whole the
message is strong, yet conservative.
1t shows a thorough knowledge of the
needs of the State; it looks
the financial condition of the
State squarely in the face, and
without any beating about the bush,
advises the restoration of the quarter
of mill which was taken from the
rate for 1896, and wise economy in ex
pending the peoples money. sit is
my deliberate Judgment" says Gov
ernor Powers, that in time of pro-
found peace, we cannot afford to be
continually, year after year, running
in debt, or having our expenditures
exceed our receipts, and thus Great
ing constantly increasing deficit, to
be tided over by temporary loans, or
bonded into more permanent ones"
On other questions of Importance, the
message shows equally sound judg
ment. 1t presents, among other mat
tiers which should receive legislative
aid, the Improvement of schools, de-
velopment of agricultural and manu-
featuring industries, road improve
ment, and game protection.

work being accomplished in Ellsworth

tanning what is thought in Europe of
