Amending the National Anthem.

Inc New YORK Legislature IN the
course of an unusually busy and excit-
ing session has found time to legislate
regarding Keys immortal Sta
Spangled Banner" which probably
comes nearer than any other production
of being our national anthem The
New York lawmakers suppressed the
stanza which Oliver Wendell Holmes
added to the song as sung in the
schools of the Empire State. and re-
stored the stanza about "hirelings AMI
slaves'-rcferring to British Soldiers
which Key wrote as part Of the origi-
nal song. This stanza ventilated politi-
cal passions resulting from the war of
1872. which was in progress, it will be
remembered, when the song was writ
ten, while DR.. Holmes verse expressed
passions reused by the Civil War; This
verse of DR.. Holmes has never been a
part Of the song as used in this section
of the country, as far as we can recall,
but it is a part of the version used in
the New York school books, and so the
Legislature Of that state felt that it
had right to remove it. The verse in
question is as follows:
Down; down with the foe who dares to
The stars of her flag and the page OF
her story;
BY the millions unclaimed who our birth
in bI al
We will keep her bright blazon forever
unstained.
From a literary point Of view this
stanza by Holmes is undoubtedly far
superior to those written by Key, but
of course the New York legislators We're
animated by political and not literary
reasons in suppressing it. They felt.
and rightly too. that the country wants
to get rid of the remembrance of the
passions aroused by the Civil War.
however just the passions were when
first aroused. The feelings aroused by
the war of 1872 do not particularly
count at this time. one way or the
other, and since Keys stanZa. which is
now restored. was part of the poem
as originally written. it is only fitting
that it should be retained there. 1t is
all true enough that from literary
point of view, the Star Spangled Ban
ncr'' is rubbish, nevertheless the spirit
of the lines, the circumstances of it's
composition, and the inspiring air to
which it has been set. have given the
verses popularity not equalled by any
other American patriotic song. We
hope it will survive and be sung as long
as the old flag waves.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A Complete vindication.

CtOckland COurler-GaZette)
The friends of Names public printer.
and of fair play. have rot ceased to
voice their satisfaction over the out
come of the investigation conducted by
the recent session of Legislature. The
complete vindicatiOn Of that official
was not unlocked for by those who fol-
lowed the progress Of the hearing, and
the unanimous report of the state
printing committee was in line with the
opinions thus formed. The investi-
cation was courted by the public print
er because of certain criticisms which
he fully believed had Icen made for
political effect. He met the investiga-
ton with the easy conscience which be-
longs to an official who believes he has
done his duty. honestly and fairly.
The committees report shows not only
that the public printer fairly and faith
fully observed all the requirements Of
the statute law, but that Maine had
been getting its printing done cheaper
than other states in New England.
The critics made constant reference to
New Hampshire as state which got
more for it's money. and the secretary
of the New Hampshire printing COM
mission was brought before the COM
mittee The result was another
triumph for Names system. When it
was shown that the report Of the New
Hampshire railroad commissioners
would have cost nearly 500 less printed
in Maine the opposition ceased its COM
parisnn of the two states. Burleigh &
Flynt abide cheerfully by the new
regime. perfectly willing to take their
chance in the competitive bids. We
particularly liked the tone of the Ken
ncbec Journals editorial on this sub
ject. the concluding paragraph of which
follows:
During the last Gubernatorial cam
paign. in the face Of no little abuse,
and many threats, we stated distinctly
and emphatically that whenever our
enemies succeeded in raising the ques-
ton between the independence of the
Kenncbcc Journal, within strict party
lines. and the State printing, the print
ing would go. Even if the big plant
which we have built up to do the state
work should be turned to other uses
we shall still be able to retain our self
respect and the satisfaction that comes
from the fact that we did not for one
moment wayer in our support OF tnat
caust which we sincerely believed to be
for the best interests of the Republican
party and Of the State"

A Valuable Suggestion.

In q letter to the Journal Hon. F. f.
Roothbv of Portland. one of the best
known citizens of our State re1ers u
one of the natural scenic beauties Oh
our city as follows:
when travelling on our trains ana
approaching Halloweil where we OBJ
tain such a beautiful view of the hill
back of Augusta the thought always
comes to me how like Mount Royal at
Montreal, the hill being exactly similar
in shape to that and overlooking the
city in precisely the same way. and if
Augusta and Hallowell were only large
enough and could raise the money that
would be the place for their public
park operated in precisely the same
way as is that on Mount Royal. Even
tually it is possible the various cleo
trio lines centering in Augusta might
take hold of the matter"
There is certainly much food for
thought in this practical suggestion.
A park which would be possible, were
this territory with the beautiful hill ex-
tending back from it in possession OF
our city, or were it the combined prop
clty Of Augusta and Hallowell. both OF
which it would serve equally well.
would in every way be a worthy rival
of the beautiful Mount Royal which
has so long been a favorite pleasure
resort of the great city of Montreal
and which is one of the first places 10
which a visitor there is taken. FROM
the top of the hill on the new Hal
lowell road could be obtained view OF
heights of the river. of woodland Oh
meadow of inland lakes. and OF the
thrifty communities stretching up ard
down the Kennebec valley that would
fully equal. and in our judgment sur
lass, the view that is obtained from
the crest of Mount Royal.
The suggestion of Colonel Boothby is
Il most favorable one, and one which
we trust may eventually work out in
practical results, whose benefits to Au-
gusta and HalloweIl would be almost
inestimabla, ard would contribute very
much to the pleasure of citizens by
adding a new joy to living in these
beautiful communities. which lie so
closely together and have SO much in
common.
