The work of separating the chu-ch
and state in France goes steadily on.
The attempt of the clerical party i'm the
Chamber of Deputies to postpone the
matter until after the elections. next
year, was defeated by vote of 343 to

body stands on the question. I'm
doubleday the example of America has
done much to bring about the change

have always been separate. 1t is one
of the fundamental principles of our

1.-THE Holy Ghost and Us" and "The
HoIier Than Thou"
(RridgtOn NeWS,)

But. aprOpos of this. comes the Au-
gusta Journal of Tuesday. in vigor-
Gus and very spicy editorial, calling
the Lewiston Journal to account for its
part in the persecution" of the State
printer and the Augusta publishing
house; and one reading between the
lines of the observations of the two pa
pers might readily guess-what indeed
many have all along suspected-that
jealousies. the outcome of business ri
valry between the two publishing
houses and the two papers, has had
much to do with the various stages of
this bitterly fought and vigorously de-
Tended controversy. And in all prob
ability. the end is not yet. Indeed the
Lewiston Journal is already talking
back, and we fear it may in the end
be ungracefully elbowed out of the
party it once honored and served so
valiantly; that it may henceforth be
forced to seek sympathy and support
with 1.-The Holy Ghost and Us" fratern-
ity. which appears to be taking entire
charge Of the Androscoggin region!

Clean, Honest and Above Board,

PiScataquiS Observer
The Public Printer has reason to fee!
proud of the splendid "indicatiOn given
him by the unanimous report of the
Printing committee, which after a win
ter of investigation of his affairs, finds
that his conduct of his Office has been
clean, honest and above board. No one
who knows the present printers ever
thought they would find otherwise.
Those who attacked the State Printer
made A blunder when they called wit
nesseS down here from New Hampshire
to draw comparisons between New
Hampshire prices AMI these in Main"
The fact was clearly drawn out Nv

der the present law allowed in Maine

.'"uld be printed cheaper than they
actually are printed under the Ne"
Hampshire system of competitive bids
The last New Hampshire railroad re-
port was shown to have cost the State
SAL. while under the Maine law it
would only have cost $500 1t is an un-
denidble fact. as shown before the COM
mittee, that Maine is getting it's public
printing done more cheaply than New
Hampshire. 1t is true that New
Hampshire IS getting il. printing done
more cheaply than formerly. but this
has nothing to do with the situation

The Bath Times, i'm its issue Of

were costing Maine over $40 Il thou

fact that the prices above quoted were

on lots of ten thousand.

correct the above error.

Took the Form of An Attack upon the
Public Printer.
(SOmerset Reporter.)


Elsewhere in our columns may be
found a synopsis of the report of the
committee on State printing, submitted
to the Legislature on Friday last. The
investigation was a prOtracted one that
for d time created intense public inter-
est. To quite an extent the investiga-
ton, SO far as certain parties could
shape it. took the form of an attack
on the public printer, but the COM
mittee unanimously agreed upon a re-
port generating him and the auditor,
stating that all work was paid for by
the State at statute rates and no
more. The committee, while CRITICS.
ing the methods of making out bills
and bookkeeping of the printer, state
that no loss has resulted to the State
thereby. The committee conclude
that some saving can be made in the
volume of State printing. and submit
bill providing that the State printing
be contracted for by the Governor and
council on the basis of competitive
bids. instead of the price being fixed
by statute as it has been for some
and the auditor are eXonerated. but
the law under which they worked is
disCredited, and what the committee
conceive to be better method is
recommended. 1t may prove to be so
and it may not. Time will test it.

A Malignant and Mysterious Diseas,

"A Malignant and Mysterious Disease.
New York has been not little
alarmed this winter over the preva-
lence Of an epidemic of cerebro spinal
meningitis, or spotted fever. as it is
more commonly called. This disease,
which has prevailed in a particularly
malignant form has caused hundreds
of deaths. and many doctors and
nurses. while caring for patients in
the hospitals, have themselves fallen
victims to it. Both the state legisla-
ture and the city government have ap-
pointed commissions Of medical eX-
perts to investigate the epidemic and
gather Information regarding the dis
ease and the best methods of fighting
it. The disease is contagious and the
medical theory is that it is caused by a
germ which reaches the brain by way
of the nose. A person afflicted is very
suddenly stricken down and suffers in
tensely from headache and pains in
the base of the brain and back and
limbs. The disease frequently tcrlni-
mates fatally with very few days,
even within a few hours.
Medical men admit that they know
very little about it's cause and are
bafiied in the matter of treating it sue
cessfully. 1t seems to be essentially a
cold weather disease. and the epidemic
as recorded in New York and neighbor-
ing cities seems to come at periods of
several years apart. AS far as has
been reported in the newspapers, the
disease has not been prevalent in other
parts of the country, at least not to
such an extent as to be called an cpl
demic and attract general attention.
1t is to be hoped that the work of the
special commissions appointed will re-
suit in an increased knowledge about
this dreaded disease. so that medical
men may better understand its cause.
and gain means of fighting it more
successfully than they are now able to
do.
