$2,I47, 40, which, if deducted from
the loans of the State, gould leave a

school for free books $3.50 900 annually,
which for four years aggregate $500, 600

1t will require good many years for
Maine to build up two such regulations
in Congress as she has lost there this
year by the death of Mr.. Dingley and
the retirement of Mr.. Reed. She made
for herself the reputation she had. 6rst,
by selecting the ablest men at her COM
mand for public service, and next by
keeping them there. No state in the
Union Of her size has equalled her in
the ability of its delegation in the nat
ional House Of Representatives ia this
generation. When it is remembered
that she had Mr.. Sames G.. Blaine in
that body also not so very long ago. her
superiority is yet mork striking. She

Mr.. Webster, is secure. 1t mas be
added that her future is much in her
