THE POLO SEASON
Opened, Monday Evening, at
Bangor and RockIand.
The Bangors Defeat the Senators in
a Hot Game, 8 to 2.
Bath Wins from RockIand. in Their Home
Rink, 10 to 6.

Bangor, Me-, Nov. 7.-(SpcciaD.-The
hrst professional game of polo to be
played in this city for nearly a dozen
years took place, tonight. when Bangor
and Augusta opened the Maine League
series. The game was attended by 300
people and in the crowd were a score
or more of ladies'. The attendance was
affected by other attractions, but as
the season progresses Bangor can be
depended upon to turn out by crowds.
1t is has been so long since the game
was played here, that many people
have almost forgotten all they knew
about it.
The Augusta team was given warm
reception when they came upon the
aioor. They were dressed in a very
natty costume and made fine appear
ance. The Bangor team appeared in
suits of black with the word Bangor"
in white letters across the front of the
sweaters.
The game began promptly on time
with Billy Long, the ex-base ball man
ager, as referee Jason played fine
game for Bangor. He took the ma
jOrity of the rushes and his drives for
the goal were terrific. Hadley's play
ing was a marked feature of the work
of the Augusta team and some of the
stops made by both eastman and
O'Malley were wonderful, Cashman's
work in particular bringing forth great
applause.
The game was a good one from be-
ginning to end and several times the
spectators saw some very hot work in
the corners between Hadley and Jason.
Managers French and Finn were
very much pleased with the work of
their men and the outlook for sue
cessful series of games in this city be-
tween Bangor and Augusta. The score:

SENATOR TURPIE's FoRGETFULNEss.

The Sentinel says that Senator Turpie
"has forgotten more about financial and
economic questions than the Republican
senator and the nine Republican congress-
men from Indiana, with the editor of the
Journal and Mr.. H. H. Hanna, head of the
Gold Standard League. thrown in, ever
knew This is bold assertion, but it may
be true. Senator Turpie knows so little now
about the financial question that is worth
knowing that if he ever knew anything at
all he must have forgotten an enormous
ton. A person who maintains that the COM
mercial value of metal has relation to
its money value and that the same weight
of silver should constitute a dollar now as
did hundred years ago. when it was worth
twice much it is at present, must
either possess an extraordinary faculty for
never having learned anything, or else a
tor Turpie has lived mainly in the past it is
probable that he once knew what Thomas
Jefferson said regarding the market value
and the money value of gold and silver,
and, perhaps, at some period of his life he
has also known what all the other states
men of the Jeffersoniap period and repu-
table financial authorities of all countries
and ages have held on the same subject,
but as he knows nothing of these things
now and gives no sign of ever having
known them, he must have forgotten vast
amount-perhaps as much as the Bryan or
gan says he has. If such a calamity should
befall the State as the senator's re-elec-
ton he should incorporate in his nightly
prayer, if he says one, Lest we forget,
lest we forget" If he should continue to
lose his grip financial knowledge here
after at the alarming rate which has char
acterized his past. before the end of an
other senatorial term he would probably be
advocating a return to wampum currency
and tobacco as legal tender. He doth forget
too much.

The spirit of inquiry is in the air. Like
certain manifestations of reform and dis
ease it is contagious. The Journal is NOV
ed by the spirit of the hour, and proposes
to offer few facts, the result of careful
inquiry.
The ordinance passed by the City Council
under which the park lands were purchased
gives the Board of Public Works the power
to condemn the lands. The power to con-
denim carries with it the power to fix the
price if the owners demand more than the
property is believed to be worth. If the
owners are dissatisfied their remedy is in
the Circuit Court. Did the Board of Public
Works and those purchasing the lands
which includes Mayor Taggart and Control
Ter Johnson, condemn and fix the price?
1t is respectful question which interests
allAtaxpayers. If they did condemn and fix
the price the Journal most respectfully asks

acres the mayor. controller and Board Of
Public Works paid $l1.596 The owner who
sold 1t to the mayor ct al paid $5,79S for the
tract in 1890. and it's value as appraised by

true that the city would not have to pay
for any franchise value and that the

measure of their value in any condemns
ton proceeding.
Assuming that an arbitration or condem-
nation of the water-works property would
fix the valuation at less than $2.0O0.00o the
practical question remains. how could the
city pay for the property? The city charter,

ment for the stock, a franchise from the
city. The city, being the only stakeholder.
would, of course annually elect directors
to conduct the corporation. Such water
company would have power to issue and
sell bonds without increasing the city debt,
and to secure the bonds by mortgage on
its plant. The proceeds of these bonds
would be available to construct new
water system, or to purchase the present
system, or to supply the city with funds
with which to pay for the property in con-
demnation proceedings. That such bonds
could be successfully syndicated. either
here in Indianapolis or in Eastern money
markets. there can be no doubt. If am too
sanguine in believing that the city charter
contains all the grant power which we need
to carry out the above project, at most. the
deficiency can be supplied by an act of the
Legislature
The owners of the water company should
be treated not only fairly, but with a de-
gree of liberality; yet liberality should not
go to the point OF surrendering the inter-
ests of our people. The fair cash value of
the tangible property and moderate
bonus is all that the city ought to pay
for the water works.

the owner appears to have paid sS.77e.s0 in
1894. and the cash value appraisal of the
assessors is s12. $50.
The foregoing curious transaction might
have been attributed to inadvcrtence, did
not the same curious circumstance of paying
twice much as the assessment and the
purchase price, as set forth in the recorded
deed. appear in all the purchases made by
the Taggart regime of the mayors political
friends. The Journal would not be so pre-
dulge in limitations regarding these facts
in figures. 1t will not indulge in a sheer
about deals and ''rake-offs." but if the
mayor. his Board of Public Works and his
controller have an explanation therefor it
will be mighty interestin readin' just now.

enough to go around, and reach every man.

Schley said pretty much the same thing on
a recent occasion. The men who had most
to do with the successful ending OF the
war are not monopolizing the credit. but are
quite willing to divide it. 1t is only the
Richard Harding Davises who insist that
there is not enough glory to go around.

QUESTIONS TO COME BEFORE
CONGRESS.

No American Congress in recent years
has had as many new and difficult prob
lens to deal with as will the next session
and the period of reconstruction following
it both brought up a great many novel
questions of vital Importance, requiring
original legislation of a more or less ex-
perimental character. generation has
passed since these matters were disposed
of, and the difficulties which beset Con-
gress during that period are almost for
gotten, but they were numerous and trying.
Since then Congress has had to deal only
with the ordinary affairs of domestic legis-
lation, which, important as they may have
been, have not been without the light af-
forded by precedents and experience to aid
in their settlement. Quite different are
some of the questions that will come before
the next Congress-questions involving
great interests, new principles, untried
policies, and entirely without the
light of presidents or experience to
aid in t..elr right settlement Not
to mention others which may grow out of
the present transition period in public af-
fairs, there will be a form of government
and code of laws for Hawaii, including land
laws, shipping laws, tariff regulations, i'm
migration laws, etc. The annexation of
Hawaii requires immediate consideration of
the project for a submarine cable between
San Francisco and Honolulu. This ques-
ton has already had some consideration by
Congress. but now it's early settlement is a
~,
same is true of the Nicaraguan canal,
which, since the acquisition of Porto Rico
and Hawaii, has become distinctly Amer
lean question. The establishment of new
form of government for Porto Rico the in
itiation of measures to Americanize the
island the revision of the civil law. the es-
tablishmenL of schools. etc, will open new
field for practical craftsmanship. The
pacifcation of Cuba anu laying the founda-
lions of independent government there,
while maintaining our military occupation
of the island pending the establishment of
the new regime. will require wise and care
full management. The acquisition of the
Philippine islands, if we do acquire them,
will raise host of new questions, while if
have to be provided for. The acquisition of
one of the Ladrone islands will involve new
legislation, and there will be many claims
and counter claims growing out of the war
to be disposed of. From this partial review
it is evident the next Congress will have a
great deal of important work to do of d
kind that will require it to rise above party.
The people have a. good opinion of the pres
ent Congress, based on it's excellent work
during the special and first regular session.
and they will expect it to treat the new and
important questions soon to come before it
in spirit of broad nationalism. Failure to
do this, or any effort to embarrass consid-
GRAFTON of the questions by the methods of
peanut politics, will arouse the Indignation
of the people and invite the political pun
ishment of those responsible for it.
