One of the next taxes to be assessed by
the State board of assessors will be that
on the telephone and telegraph com
panies. As this tax is levied on the
property of the companies there is good
prospect that the tax will be increased.
During the year there has been quite an
increase of the companies property all
over the State. The telephone COMPANIES
have been working for six months to ex-
tend their service and during last sum
mer many new lines were built ana a
great many new instruments put in. In
addition To that some of the smaller COM
panles have been extending their lines 50
that there is slight question but that the
tax will be increased. The telegraph
have been making extensions
State will receive a larger revenue this
year than for some time. A it is not the
history in this State for the business of
the companies to decrease there can be
no change except that Of an increase Of
tax.
At the next meeting of the State board
a decision will be arrived at regarding
the time for making the trips into the
wild land counties The matter has been
brought before the attention of the board
already but nothing definite has been de
cided on. When the board does go into
the wild lands counties the owners Of
the lands will be asked to meet the mem
bers and in this way additional Informal
ton Will be gained regarding the value
Of the property.

"Uncle joe Holden will be greatly
missed at the State House next winter
The notice Of his death was received with
great deal Of surprise. Even the most
prominent member of the third house
was no more regular in his attendance
than "Cncle JO.'
When he first arrived at the State
House each session, he was received with
open arms and every afternoon when the
business was a little dull he would have
the floor that he might advance his fiat
earth theory. He was the butt of great
many jokes of the members. but he sci
dom lost his temper, ana he was always
repaid. for the collection at the close Of
one Of his lectures was as certain as that
the House would be called to order the
next morning.
His most violent passion, the older peO-
pie at the State House say, was when L
clock that had an alarm which would
ring for nearly five minutes was placed
where he could not see ii ana compelled
him to stop his lecture He was present
at one time while the teachers were in
session and the ideas they gained from
his remarkable doctrine We're startling.

glance at one of the records sent out
with the travelling libraries gives a good
idea Of what kind Of books are most read
by Maine people. The record book which
accompanied travelling library No. 5
was looked over yesterday morning. And
that is a sample Of all the books. This
showed that the calls for fiction are in
proportion of 3 to l as regards the calls
for other books. Travels come next and
biographies takes the next place. Then
come history. literature, poems and re-
ligi0n and socialism in their order. Two
thirds of the calls for reading matter are
made by girls and women.
The town of Lowell has made the sec
ond call for a travelling library and that
was sent out, yesterday.

We have not the slightest hope that the
amendments to the Hanna-Payne Ship
Subsidy bill now being prepared by Demo
cratic members of the House Committee on
the Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Will
be accepted by the majority. Ii they were.
the effect would be to give ordinary Ameri-
cans a little chance 20 get some of the
bounty. The Administration would never
permit that since the bill as it stands is
exclusively in the interests and for the
benefit Of a syndicate Of transportation
magnates and shipbuilders. including less
than 2 dozen individuals, who will capture
the whole loot Of ninety million dollars
This purpose is concealed as well al pos
sible under she language OF the bill. but
still not successfully so. The Democratic
amendments viii be useful only in calling
attention TO the gigantic and impudent
jobbery Of the measure, thus exposing one
OF the most barefaced raids upon the
Treasury ever attempted in American his

posed legislation will be enacted. II viii

One Of the pleasant trust provisions in
the bill is that which does not permit its
benefits to apply TO foreign-built vessels
bought after it becomes a law. This reser-
walton ought TO tell its c~-a story 10 the
dullest mind. The trust syndicate has
control Of all the outlander ships il can
possibly utilize, under options which will
become sales the minute it is certain that
the Hanna-Payne bill is TO pass. II is
plain that any outsider then would be not
only barred from acquiring foreign bot
toms. but if he sought to take advantage
of ,he subsidy he would have no other re-
sort than to the trust yards where he

The DeIngoa RaiIway A,.ard.

It is announced that the Mckinley fj-
miuistratiOn has decided to accept the
award OF the Swiss tribunal of arbitration
in the matter of the Delagoa Railway. This
reason assigned for this utterly indefeusi-
bic action is that to reject the decision o;
the arbitrators would be 10 strike a blo,-
At the sacred cause OF international 4r-
bitration. AS a matter Of fact exactly
the reverse Is true.
Nothing in The history of modern diplo-
macy can be found as destructive OF all
confidence 10 arbitration as this unjust.
disgraceful. ard corrupt award. II must
be remembered that the amount allowed
10 the claimants whose property was Doc
lily stolen from T. en- by the Portuguese
authorities, is one million dollars less thaS
its original first cost, and one million less
than Portugal was willing to pay with
out litigation. TIE value OF the railway
concession was not considered by the tr.-
bunal which, on no possible reasoning Of
legal or equitable sanity, only condemned
Portugal to pay three million dollars. At
least that sum is due to the heirs Of Col
ouel McMurdo if anything is; yet the
twelve thousand dollars out of the award.
The British railway bonds and the expense
OF the tribunal having preference, viii ab-
sorb nearly everything.
II this were the whole story. Mr. Nc
Kinley for reasons of state. might per
haps be eXcusable in permitting such a
fagrant outrage upon some of his fellow
citizens. But the Delagoa award is noto-
riously tainted with collusion and corrup-
tion, and, hence, is not binding on this
Government or Great Britain. 1t has been
common talk in Geneva for months thac
the arbitrators were very much under the
influence Of the Anglophobe sentiment SO
rife in Europe since the outbreak OF war
in South Africa. They are suspected OF
having maintained confidential relations
with the Portuguese Cabinet pending
Sheir decision. But, worse than all this.
the nature and amount OF the award was
known TO a Paris banker before a word
on the subject was given out by the tribu,
nal, the result being that heavy short sales
OF DelagoE bonds and shares were made in
London. and at profit larger than the fun
amount awarded to the claimants Now.
this advance information could hardy
have been furnished by any person other
than one OF the three arbitrators, or the
secretary Of the tribunal The general
opinion in London appears TO be that the
speculation was joint affair. and was The
elimination Of a deliberate plan to jockey
the London Stock Market. In the fullest
~saAderce that the award could not fall
