In accordance with that interest with
which. during the past few years, the
New England Magazine has been carry
ing out its mission OF placing upon record
the histories Of New England towns, the
statistics of her great industries and the
biographies of her worthy citizens, the
April number opens with an article, on
the governors of the several New Eng
land states during the period of the Civil
War. OF course it cannot be expected
that magazine article of a dozen or fif-
teen pages, can give a very complete ac-
count of the biographies of the twenty
gentlemen who were prominent as State
governors in New England during that
exciting period of five years; but at the
same time one would naturally expect 10

raphies and historical matter.
1t is true that Maine does not suffer in
a comparison with her sister states, but
at the same time there Is a feeling of

sence of a few leading facts and statis-
tics.

WaShburn, Jr., of OrOnO, was governor
of Maine, and our state, like the other
northern states. and like the entire coun-

A leading minister in London has
been preaching on the love of money
in, America. and the marriages for
money which take place here. He has
not carefully investigated the frank
and open title market in his own coun-
try. or he would not be SO virtuously
indignant over the American fondness
for the almighty dollar. There is
scarcely a broken down noble house in
England which does not hope to re-
deem its fortunes by marriage with an
American fortune. Perhaps the dis
position lately evinced by American
heiresses to keep their millions at
home has something to do with the out
break of British wrath over our mer-
cenary tendencies.

The Rush Tor Pensions.

The officials of the pension office re-
overwhelmed with applications for
pensions now being filed by the SOL
diers who served in the Spanish
American war. The rush for pensions
is beyond expectations and is much
greater than it was for years after the
close of the Civil War. In the saith
Michigan the number of applications
thus far received is $50, or over one
fourth of enlisted strength of the regi-
Michigan regiment takes the lead, but
there are others close behind. The
District of Columbia regiment has $50
applicants for pensions, including Il Of
the staff officers and the 33d Michigan.
the Sth Ohio, and the Cd Massachu-
sets, each have over 800 applicants in
their ranks. and the. applications are
still pouring in.
| The department officials say that this
rush for pensions is remarkable, and
especially SO in view of the fact that
up to 1882, there were a number of
regiments which served throughout the
Civil War, and yet at that time, Is
years after the close of the war, did
not have, all told, 100 applicants for
pensions. OF the regiments mentioned

Peace with Spain.

The formal ceremony of exchanging
the two treaties. which was performed
in Washington, Tuesday, officially con-
cludes the war which has existed pc
tween the United States and SPAN
since April Il, 1898. Once more these
two countries are at peace. and the
former relations are renewed IN coii-
merce and in all diplomatic, of1clal anu
consular ways The Presidents proc
lamatjon which followed at once the
exchange of the treaties is the CLOSING
act of the great drama. Thus the war
has continued almost exactly year.
although the actual fighting was con-
fined to a period of only few weeks. y
Poor Spain has paid the penalty of
her, blindness, corruption and biSotry.
The only salve to her crushed honor is
the yellow gold paid her as an in
dcnnitv for the loss of the Philip
pine group. Her American posses
sions are all gone. Once almost the
whole OF the two Americas were hers.
She has only herself to blame that she
does not now own an acre on this side
of the Atlantic. 1t remains TO be seen
whether Spain will profit by the awful
lesson of the past year. With only her
home affairs to attend to, it would
seem as though the nation might build
itself up and repair some of the mis-
takes of the past. But it is feared that
Spain will never again hold a high
position among the nations of the
world. The decline has gone TO far,
and the Spanish character is too little
in harmony with the spirit of the age.
Our own land energies from the war
with Spain a different nation than it
was a year ago. 1t is greater and
stronger than ever before. and the re-
spect in which it is held by the rest of
the world has increased many fold.
The war has given us great problems
to solve, but they are being mastered
than did our conduct of the war
There are. as usual, scoffers and pessi-
msts. pebbles that are powerless to
stop the wheels of progress. In spite
of them the country will move on in the
bright path where destiny points the
way. The American policy of eXpan-
sion is as old as the republic itself,
and now or never the nation has the
opportunity to show its greatness and
take its permanent place at the front
among the nations of the world. In
the wonderfully successful war which
the United States has waged since a
year ago humanity and justice have
won their greatest victory in genera
| ours. and in view of the possibilities
| and opportunities that lie before US no
| true American can regret the results
of the war.
| May the peace that now exists with
Spain never again be broken. This
country has only the friendliest feel
| inEs for its fallen foe. and hopes that
all traces of bitterness in the Spanish
heart may speedily vanish. In the
coming months of peace history may
not be made 50 fast as it has been in
| the past year. but we feel confident
thev will no filed with victories no less
notable and important than those won
| by the yalor of our soldiers and sailors.

alfalfa is indeed wonderful crop 1t does
not exhaust the soil, for it contains very
small percentage of phosphates and Its
roots go to great depths. Many plants Of
this order have this popularity of being a
benefit to the land instead of reducing 1t.
1t is conjectured that they derive much Of
their nourishment from the atmosphere and
in some way exert a dsintegrating influence
