Legislative Gossip.


AUGUSTA, Feb. q, 1901.
To the Editor Of The american.
The eighth week OF the legislature is in
full blast, and social functions and par
ties are being laid aside for hard work
All the important committees are up 10
their ears in consideration OF the noun
tains OF bills, petitions and resolves
which have been accommodating through
the session, and which, In spite OF long
and frequent committee meetings, show
hardly any perceptible elimination.
Touching memorials to the memory of
the late Senator Hodgdon we're delivered
in the House and Senate yesterday, and
his seat in the Senate, draped In black,
| was magnificent In floral tributes. Rep
resentative Fellows was member of the
| legislative committee to attend his
| funeral.
The Hancock county delegation finds
that its labors in the matter of represent
| tative apportionment is added to by the
great growth of some of the seaside re-
sorts within this epoch, and necessitatlng
much readiustment.
Hancock county matters are receiving
courteous treatment, nearly every matter
having been fsvors bly, reported ny the
committees. Matters of interest to Ellis
worth people within a few days are the
Ellsworth electric railroad bill. the Turk
Pond Power Co., aud the hearing last
evening on taxation OF wild lands.
Among those present interested in this
matter were Col. John f. Whitcomb and
Arno W. King, esq. The discussion be-
fore the committee on taxation, as well as
the bill before the Judiciary TO abolish
trading stamps, lasted from yesterday
till past this morning. Pitted against
each other on the last hearing were the
| legal giants, ex-Judge Enoch Foster, tho
conducted the case for the petitioners in
the famous Camden water case, and Judge
Louis Stearns, OF Bangor. 0sher eminent
| legal talent was present and large quota
of legislators remained till the close OF
| the hearing.
The investigation OF the charges against
Secretary McKeen, OF the board of
agriculture, has attracted large crowd,
and lovers of sensation have found rich
morsel In this hearing. Next Tuesday
| occurs a hearing before the COMMITTEES on
. finance OF intense interest, IL being the in
vestigstion of the sensational charges
by Rep. Haskell in the House last week
brought against the Maine eye and ear in
Urinary.
Among gentlemen who have been here
with matters OF personal interest this
week are Mr.. Devereux, OF Castine, the
erstwhiIe promoter OF the steam rail-
road scheme from Ellsworth to Castine,
and Pres. Harris, Of NJ S. college, asking
for additional stipends.
Well-versed legislators set the time OF
adjournment at about March %.

President McKinley's second inaug-
uration is now history, and brilliant
chapter in history it is. The ar
rangements were unusually well car
ried out in every respect. The
parade, both military and civic feat
ures, was interesting from start to
finish. If it be fair to Judge from the
success of his inauguration, President
McKinley's second administration
will be even more successful than his
first, if such thing be possible. The
Presidents inaugural address will
take rank among his best state pa
pers. 1t was open, straightforward
and patriotic, like all his public ut
terances and acts.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1901.
The City Election .

The story of last Mondays election
is told in detail in our news columns.
The democrats were successful, re-
electing Mayor Greedy and three of
the five aldermen. The republicans
reelected Mr.. Jellison in ward 8, and
also carried ward 4, which was demo-
cratic last year.
Although the republicans gained
one alderman, they are still in the
minority, and the responsibility for
the government of the city during the
coming year rests with the democrats.
With the exception of the new mem
Der from ward 4, Mr.. Pattep, the
personnel of the newly chosen board
is the same as last year Mr.. Greedy,
mayor, Mr.. Higgins, alderman from
ward /; Mr.. Stuart from ward 2, Mr..
Jeilison from ward 3, and Mr.. Brady
from ward 5.
1t is gratifying to be able to record
that the fight for supremacy was con-
Quoted with far less rancor than is
usual. The only real tissue" was a
political one. The democrats said:
"We've done pretty well, haven't
we?" The republicans said: s'Pretty
well, perhaps, but no better than we
could have done" The people, at the
polls, said: "Yes, you democrats,
you've done pretty we'll; perhaps no
better than the republicans would
have done or could do, but so long as
you're in, we'll keep you in for
another year. Now do the bes. you
can. If the best you can do doesn't
suit us, out you go year hence"
A condition of affairs confronts the
board that calls for careful considera-
ton and deliberate action. The
amount of uncollected taxes is appal
Ing-rising 49,, o00l THE AMERICAN
last week did not charge, and had no
intention of charging, our present tax
collector with being responsible for all
this; in common with his predecessors,
he did the best he could, but the best
they all have done is not good
enough; and while the fault is
primarily theirs, the administration,
whatever its political complexion,
that permits such large amounts. to
remain uncollected, is, though sec
ondarily responsible, also at fault.
There is machinery enough to COM
pei taxpayers to pay, but it hasn't
been in real good running order since
the days when j. A. McGown was COL
lector, and distress warrants were
issued.
The matter of collecting taxes is
thus one of the practical questions to
which the newly elected board can
with profit turn its attention. An
other is to make the method of assess
ing and levying the taxes SO plain
and sure that no taxpayer can refuse
payment on account of alleged defects.
A thing to be thankful for is that
during the brief campaign preceding
the election one fetch has been eff
feetually destroyed-that relating to
the size of the municipal debt. We
may safely predict that no admins
tration will hereafter set up the claim
that the actual, or net, debt of the
city is determined by the amount of
taxes uncollected.
The members of the new board are
for the coming year the governors OF
us all, not of part of US. Outside
of the appointments, we do not ex-
pect to see partizanship displayed,
but rather the same care and consid-
Grafton for the city's best interests
that usually characterize the work of
the board throughout tho year.
