The Republican Candidate.

Certain gentlemen are endeavOring
to make capital by questioning the
party loyalty of the Republican
standard bearer on the ground that he
is holding the Office of city solicitor
under the present administration. In
asmuch as there are but two Demo-
cratic lawyers in Augusta, one Of
whom did not care for the city
solicitorship, and the other receiving
the office of city clerk. it will be seen
that some Republican lawyer would
necessarily be called upon to fill the
office of city solicitor. Mr.. buttons po-
sttion Oil the most important question
that was before the new administration
was so well known that he was the
natural and logical selection as the le-
gal representative of the city. Mr.. Dut-
ton stated his position clearly and I'M
equivocally at the city caucus when
he stated that he was. and had been all
his life a Republican. In the face of
capital out of the fact that he is hold
ing a city Office is, to say the least. de-
Cidediy farfetched. One thing. we may
rest assured of. Mr.. Dutton as mayor
would be actuatcd solely by 4 desire
to serve faithfully. and without fear
or favor. the highest interests of the
city. To those interests he is pre-
pared to give his undivided attention.
II IL the only office he is 4 candidate for,
aid If elected, the only one he will
hold.

"Great Portland; Little Maine"

Monday morning mass meeting OF
citizens interested in the proposed
making of this city the capital of
Maine will be held at the rooms of the
board of trade. There is now a grow
ing feeling that the change may be
made Portland will renew its re-
quest that having made an offer of
$500, 600 as en- outright gift 20 the State.
coupled with an agreement to raise
money enough for site. some PROPOSE
ton ought to be submitted to the city
by the State as an ordinary matter of
business courtesy. If the offer made
by Portland is not large enough then
there is a feeling here that the State
should submit some offer on it's part to
the city, to be accepted or rejected
Portland correspondence of Boston

How is that for Portland nerve? 'If
the offer made by Portland is not large
enough, then the State should submit
some offer to the city to be accepted or
reje cted"! Wouldn't that jar you? If
the gentle reader has survived the
shock. let him ponder on the modest
suggestion that ''some proposition
ought to be submitted to the city by
the state as a matter of ordinary bust
ness courtesy. Surely it has become
matter of great Portland and little
Maine. 1t is no longer question
whether Maine will change its capital
from Augusta to Portland, hut whether
Portland will accept or reject" the
"ofter" which Maine may make Port
land as an inducement to that city to
consent to become the capital! o,

this our Caesar fed that he has grown
so great? When did Portland crowd
the rest of Maine off the map?

An Audacious Proposition.
Kennebec Journal:

Editors kennebec Journal:
A Portland paper, with great head
lines announces that Il meeting was
held in that city on Thursday last Al
which it was vigorously urged and on.
Enthusiastically agreed. to raise a large
sum of money and send a great lobby
to Augusta to effect the removal of the
capital to Portland.
In the name Of all that's best in
civic life. was the parallel of Port
lands audacity ever known? VIII

money. You can't buy or bride o,
bully this Legislature; and you'll find
ii out. to your everlasting sorrow!
Nor will you deceive the people OF
this State into thinking that all the citi-
zens of Portland are behind your
nefarious scheme. We know who are in
it and who are not. And we know
that many of the best element of your

whole moving proposition. They Know

The Adjournment of Congress.

The closing session of the 59th Con.
gress came to an end at noon Monday
not because il has completed its work
but because it expired by the provisions
Of the law. 1t has accomplished much
since its members came together last
December and its record is a credita-
bic one. For the first time in the coun-
trv's history the appropriations of a
single session have reached the billion
dollar mark. but as Speaker Reed re-
marked, this is a billion dollar country
and its growing needs and great pros,
rerity prevent the people from finding
any fault on this score. Many i'm
portant matters have been before ii for
consideration and here is 4 list of some
of the more important acts which have
become laws:
Pensions to all honorably discharged
volunteer soldiers of the Civil War who
have arrived at the age Of G. years.
Provision for the building of two 20
OOO-ton battleshirs with Finch gun
batteries.
Reorganization of the artillery
corps Of the army, separation of the
field and coast artillery. and an in
crease of 5000 men in the strength OF
the latter.
Establishment Of the right OF the
government to appeal on questions OF
law in criminal cases. thereby strength
ening its hands in the antitrust
fight.
The passage of an immigration law
designed to bar Japanese coolies
doubling the head tax on immigrants
increasing accommodations on immi-
grant ships and creating commits
sion to study the whole question OF
immigration.
Currency legislation widening the
scope of the authority of the secretary
of the treasury in depcsinS government
money in national banks. increasing
the amount of national bank notes
that may be retired in month, and
providing for the issuance of gold GER
tificates in smaller denominations and
increasing the amount of small hills.
Corporations forbidden 10 make po-
litical contributions.

That State surplus will look like 80
cents when the Legislature gets
through with it, if some worthy object
doesn't get overlooked in the scramble.
The pile is melting pretty rapidly thus
far, and there is no indication of a let
up in the general raid on the treasury.
|-Westbrook Chronicle Gazette.
One would think to read the above
that our Westbrook contemporary is OPP
posed to raids on the treasury, and yet
it approves of the Portland project to
loot the treasury of an unknown sum
for an indefinite period for the building
of State House in Portland. Its ap-
neighborly kindness rather than
through any genuine desire to see the
scheme succeed, but il the Westbrook
Chronicle is opposed to vast
ing the States money why should it
approve of the scheme at all?
The most amusing move of the Port
land boomers is their solemn assurance
that "if'' Portland as a municipality
provides the sum of $500, 0GO-which
cannot be done-and "if' the Portland
citizens go down into their pockets for
$3.50, 600 more. and "if' a site is also
provided free, then the people of the
State will have to pay "Only" s540, 900.
To be sure no plans are drawn and
there is no assurance that new State
House will not cost two or three times
what these figures indicate, but how
nice for Portland it would be if it
could get the State committed to the
policy of capital removal by making it
believe that only the beggarly little
pittance of half a million would be TAX
On from the public treasury! Does it
think the people Of Maine are so stupid
as to be caught in any trap Of that
kind? Even assuming that the capital
of Maine is to be put up at auction,
would the people of the State swallow
any such bait as Portland offers and
thereby commit themselves to a great
and unknown and unnecessary expense
through years to come? The Portland
boomers sadly underestimate the intel
ligence of the people of Maine. Their
treasury raid will not succeed.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
A State Comptroller.
(BiddaforG JoUrnal.)

tBluu31OfC JOUTful.)
There is now pending before the
Maine legislature an act, introduced
by Representative ScateS of WeslbroOk,
creating and establishing the office of
state comptroller. There can be little
doubt that, with a competent business
man in this position. the saving to the
state would amount to many times the
salary of such an official, and while
there may be very reasonable objec-
lions to increasing the number of sal
aried state officials, the movement for
the creation of such an officer as is
proposed by this act has solid found
alton in business economy. The pas
sage of the act will insure uniformity
in bookkeeping in the various state de-
partments; complete publicity in state
affairs: careful scrutiny of all claims,
bills and charges, and provide the leg
islature at its opening with careful
estimates of the sums needed by the
various departments. At present the
business of auditing accounts by the
governor and council is too often re-
garded us a mere forinalty; with a
state comptroller it would be n mat
ter of careful business detail in the in
terest of the taxpayers of the state.
If we were to suggest any amendment
to this measure it would be the subSti-
tuition of the word auditor for the
word comptroller" wherever it occurs
Comptroller is a good word, but in the
interest of simplicity auditor is a bet
ter one in this connection. Everybody
knows what an auditor is. but there
are some who are naturally suspicious
of a comptroller" The mere name is
immaterial. however. so far as the
benefits to be derived from the crea-
ton Of the Office are concerned.

WatervilIe Is Republican Again


Good for the Republicans of Water
vile, who redeemed that city from the
control of the Democratic party which
has mismanaged its municipal affairs
for the past few years. At last Sep
TENDERS election the Democrats car
RED the city by over 500 votes and yet.
yesterday the Republican candidate for
mayor was successful over his Demo-
crat opponent, an alderman under the
present administration. DR.. Bunker
will make Waterville a good mayor and
that city is to be congratulated that it
stems back once more into the Repub-
lican column where it belongs.
Plainly the tide has turned that last
spring swept the Democrats into power
in number of our Maine cities. What
the Republicans of Watcrville did yes
terday, the Republicans of Augusta can
do next Monday. Just as the tide turned
there: so can it be turned here if the
Republicans will only get together and
support their party ticket. Augusta is
a Republican city and there is no rea-
son why it should have Democratic
mayor or city government. The Repub-
licans of the city have a winning tick
ct in the field this year. Let us get to-
gether and work for it in the old-time
spirit. Waterville has set the pace and
Augusta will follow next Monday.
