The Lewiston Sun, in speaking OF the
agitation for curfew law that is being
made in several Maine cities, suggests
law providing that "any pareLt who
allows his children to roam the streets
too late at night shall be imprisoned as
many days as his children were out
hours after o'clock OF course this is
an extravagant proposition but parents
are very remiss 10 the matter of looking
after their children and much of the
blame of children going to the bad
may reasonably be laid to parents. Its
a long story with many variations but
parents cannot escape the responsibility
that is upon them, and ought to realize
that nothing can take the place of their
own care Of their children In the home
aud out Of 1t.

Noticing the rumor that the managers
of the University of Maine, whose needs
for ten years were supposed to have
been literally provided for two years
ago, were planning to ask for another
big appropriation from the State legisla-
ture, the Portland Press remarks: 1--WE
hope every college in the State, Bow
doin, Colby and Bates, will go to the
Legislature, this winter, and ask an APP
preparation. Each and all of them can
present just as valid claims as the State
College. Each and all of them are Just
as useful to the State, and each and all
of them are just about as much farmers
colleges as the institution at Orono."
The above contains a large fraction OF
"cold fact" The State went to the
extreme limit OF reasonable authority in
1897, in the large appropriation made for
the State University, covering period
of ten years, and should give the tax
payers u rest now. Ii these gentlemen
who ask for appropriations think it is a
pleasure for the people of Maine to pay
taxes they better invest in some Maine
real estate and experience some of this
pleasure themselves.

Spain Accepts.

Monday last Spain accepted the Unit
ed States offer of $40 1000, 900, and at a
joint session of the peace commission.
ers in the afternoon, consented without
condition to relinquish Cuba and to cede
Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines.
The document presenting this accept
ance contained only 800 words. 1t
opened with reference to the final
terms of the United States and said that
the spanish commissioners, after having
taken cognizance of the terms proposed
by the Americans replied that their
government had tried to give as equita-
BILE an answer as possible, but that they
were not prepared to commit their gov
eminent to the acceptance of the prin-
ciples embodied in the American argu-
ment. Spain rejects these principles,
the notes continue, "as she always has
rejected them"
Seeing that an acceptance of the pro
posas made to Spain was a necessary
condition to continuance of negotia-
tions and that the resources of Spain
were not such as to enable her to re-
enter upon war, she was prepared in her
desire to avoid bloodshed and from con-
siderations of humanity and patriotism,
to submit to the conditions of the con.
quering nation, however harsh they
might be. She was therefore ready to
accept the proposals of the American
commission as presented at the last
sitting.
The reading and transaction of the
document occupied less than five min
utes. At the conclusion of the transla
ton the commissioners empowered
Senior Ojeda, secretary of the Spanish
commission, and Secretary Moore of the
American commission, to draw up arti
Giles which should embody the relinquish
ment of Cuba by Spain and the cessior
of Porto Rico and the Philippines.

At the Union Thanksgiving service
held in the First Congregational church
at Bangor, Wednesday evening, Hon. G..
A. Boutelle, M. c., addressed large
audience upon the conditions of the
country, giving his views upon impor-
tant questions of the day. Abiding to
the invariable method in times past of
settling all difficulties with the sword,
the speaker SAID that we were approach
ing the dawn of brighter era when the
sword should no longer be the arbitrator.
He said he was not In favor of war on
account Ct the desolation it brings. yet
the sacrifice WAS necessary for the peace
full settlements Of all disagreements.
He WAS In favor, however, of building
up great navy, not for the purpose of
aggression or becoming entangled in
troubles abroad, but simply for defense,
La speaking of territorial expansion the
speaker said MS soon as we took posses
sion of an eastern archipelago, that day
would our relations with the rest Of the
world be materially changed, and with
such rich country at home he did not
see the wisdom of such a policy, and
was opposed to it. In closing he paid a
glowing tribute to President Mckinley,
who wanted the people to lean upon and
was more anxious than any other presi-
dent of recent times to respond to the
sentiment of the people. Capt. Bou-
telle's conservative views at the time of
the opening of the war are we'll known.
He WAS not as anxious as some others
were to move on Cuba but once the step
WAS taken he was always ready to sus-
tain the government. AS chairman of
the House on naval affairs, the splendid
condition of the navy was largely due to
his efforts.

Benjamin Kidd, the famous English
writer, believes with President Mckinley
that expansion is the manifest destiny
of the United States. A recent tour of
observation has confirmed his belief,
and convinced him that the great West
is determined on it in spite of individual
opposition from the East; and he points
out that this nation will have a popula-
ton of 200,0O0,000 before many years,
has already passed the limits of local
expansion, and must become one of the
greatest world powers, and must meet
and discharge the duties and RESPONSE.
