eeixina Majority of One

AssemblNnen Whiteomb and Regain
We're last evening chosen members of
the board of equalization and abatement

Through BY the narrow margin Of one
vote. ~ II. =
i The resolution making the appoint
ments was introduced by Assembly
pman o'Brieneg and when it had been
shanded to President Doran the latter
called Vice President Regain to the
chair and took the floor in opposition
to. its passage. r. ...-.s&< = A.A'A>> y
ut has been the CUSTOM" said Mr..
Doran, ITO caucus and select the mem
bers of the board of equalization. Such
caucus has not been held, and 1
therefore move that the resolution be
laid over for future consideration"
The motion was seconded by Assem-
blyman Haas. Assemblyman Whitcemb
argued that. as there will be meeting
Of the board of abatement on. July 10,
the selections should be made at once
if the assembly desired to be repre-
Sented ~
On the roll ealkeMessrs. Haas, Doran
and Keller voted to postpone action,
and Messrs. OfBrien, Regain, Whitcomb
and Yeerg. inj favor of proceeding at
once. Y I'D
Mr.. Dorari made another attempt by
moving that the name of DR.. Schiff-
mann be substituted for that Of DR..
Whitcomb, the roll call again being 8
to in favor of Dr. Whitcomb. Messrs.
Haas, Yoerg and Doran voted in favor
of substituting fSchiffmann, and Messrs.
Keller, Whitcomb, O'Brien and Regain
for Whitcomb.
Keller 5Jxplains His Vote
Mr.. Keller aaeaia explained his vote,
saying that, while be had the highest
regard for both Of the gentlemen, he
thought the E1eefeneshould have been
made in advance by the Democrats in
the assembly,
This MATTER said Keller, should
have been settled before the resolution
was introduced as it is a matter in
which I have no personal interest"
Mr.. Keller is the only Republican
member Of the body. On this vote, it
will be noticed, Mr.. Yoerg switched
and voted in favor of electing DR..
Schiffmann.
On the final roll call the resolution
was unanimously adopted, although
Mr.. Haas did not vote in the afirma-
tive until he found that all other mem
bers were doing likewise. In voting,
Mr.. Doran said:
Il shall vote for the resolution, al
though l suppose that 1 should not do
so. 1t is too bad that DR.. Schiffmann
is not also present and thus be able
to vote for himself and make it a tie
vote" was the sarcastic conclusion, re-
ferring to the fact that DR.. Whiteomb
had voted for his own election.

A Faithful Official.

NO one who has at heart the best in
tcrcsts of the mmunity-whateve~
may be his political afiliations-will
fail to give Sheriff Ham the credit that
Is justly due him for his faithful and
fearless discharge of his official duty.
Sheriff Ham is III no way responsible
for the presence of the prohibitory law
upon our statute books. 1t was put
there by the lawmakers of our State
in Ii gislature assembled. Those who
oppose it would pursue very poor
course were they to vent their OPP
position upon an executive officer
no has simply been man enough to
Sheriff Ham is not only a good official
but he is il clean, courteous big-heart-
ed mana gentleman in every sense of
the word whom it is a pleasure to
know and who makes friends where
ever he goes. He has done his duty
without fear or favor. and every law
abiding citiZen-whatever may be his
personal opinion of the rrohibitory law
should sustain him for it.
a factious and unreasonable opposi-
ton to an official whose only offence is
the faithful discharge of his legal du-
ties only tends to stir up to greater
activity those powerful forces in the
community which ale unalterably OPP
posed to the open saloon under any
circumstances.
Just now the people Of Cumberland
county, Republicans and Democrats,
are lining up against a sheriff who has
made the mistake of undertaking to
usurp the functions of the Maine Legis-
latule and establish laws of his own for
the regulation of the liquor traffic.
Any sheriff, whatever may be his po-
litical affiliations, must, if he be true
to his oath of office, enforce the laws
as he finds them upon the statute
books.
This, Sheriff Ham has DONE and hav-
ing done it he merits, and should re-
ccive the cordial support of all good
citizens whether they personally be-
lievc in the law or not. A disposition
to punish an official for keeping his
path of office and faithfully enforcing
the law as he finds it, is unjust, unreas-

A Maine Teacher in Iowa.

The August number Of The Worlds
Work contains a very interesting and
instructive illustrated article on the
public schools of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and their entcrprising superintendent,
Mr.. W. n. Clifford. The article is Of
peculiar interest because Mr.. Clifford
is native of Monmouth in this county
and a son of Rev. N. C. Clifford well
known all over the State as a Metho-
dist clergyman.
After teaching in Jonesport, Me-, and
Atlanta, Ga, Mr.. Clifford went to
Council Bluffs. a city of some 10000
population, and there, says Miss Adele
Marie Shaw, herself a Maine young
lady, who is writing a series of arti-
cles on American Public Schools: Mr..
Clifford, first as principal Of the high
school. then as superintendent of the
city schools, has been proving for six
years that the old lines may not be
best, that the old highway Of the
three RS can be improved. The re-
suit is that Council Bluffs children
read better, write better, and know
more about arithmetic than the chill
dren elsewhere trained under older
methods. He has introduced the now
city of teaching the children to read,
write and cipher-teaching them geog
iraphy.
For instance while studying about
China the pupils have before them for
examination al array of bottles and
cases containing silk worms and silk
in all stages OF cultivation andsmanu-
facture. Mr.. Clifford has induced
leading manufactures and wholesale
concerns all over. the county to send
him exhibits of al similar nature and

Governor Hill on State Finances.


The discussion of the States iinan-
cial condition given in an interview
with Governor Hill published elsewhere
in this issue, will make cheerful read
ing for the voters of Maine. Like all
Of Governor Hills utterances on pub
lie matters it is clear, concise and to
the point. 1t shows that despite the
efforts of certain Democratic office
seekers to make it appear otherwise
the finances OF the State are in splen-
did condition. The bonded debt of the
State, which stood at $S,100,900 on the
first day Of October, 1869, has been re-
duced to 1858, O00-a record which in
itself speaks volumes for the splendid
administration of State affairs. Gov
| ernor Hill brings out the fact that dur
ing the present year $26O,O00 has all
ready been paid upon the bonded in
debtedness of the State.
In view of the further fact that the
taxpayers are. today, contributing less
money to The state revenues than they
did when Governor Hill came to the
executive chair, the platform adopted
ut the Republican State convention
stated only the plain truth when it de-
| clared that Governor Hill had given the
people of Maine a debt-reducing and
Introducing administration.
If the Democratic organs desire their
| readers to know the plain truth con-
corning the financial condition of the
State they should print this statement
OF Governor Hill in full.
To be sure it will scarcely jibe with
their claims of Republican mismanage-
ment OF State affairs which they have
been running in job type for some
weeks past; but they will not lose any
thing in political way on that ac-
count. The cold. keen edge of the facts
has already punctured their balloon,
and the hot air is pretty well out of
it. Its collapse was sudden and COM
plete; but amused the people, who
recognized it's true character from the
start, and has added not a little to the
gayety of nations. While the Demo-
cratic Munchausens are thinking up
something new they might we'll do a
real service for their readers by pub
fishing this statement Of Governor
Hills. 1t is good timely reading. It
states some plain facts which the peo-
pie of Maine ought to know, and which
will bear repeating.
