The De ad Rebate Bill.

(Iortiand EXprcSS.)
The withdrawal of the bill which was
practically a rebate of the taxes on
the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad
which was foreshadowed in the Angus
ia dispatches to the Express yesterday
afternoon, caused no small relief to the
members of the Legislature, because
the question was absorbing attention
all out Of proportion to it's relative inn
portance as compared with the other
matters which the Legislature has be-
fore it.
The unfortunate thing about the
whole matter was that it took on a
political iinge. The question Of re-
bate to railroad is not, and has no
business to be considered, a political
question. When it was first before
the legislators is years ago nobody
dreamed that 1t ever would be regarded
as concerned at all with the politics of
the State. II would never have been so
regarded if the Democracy, under the
inspiration of someone who is not I'M
known, but who shall be nameless. had
not seen the opportunity, as he thought

that the Republicans had a majority In

The Boston Sunday Globe in re-
cent article giving the Lincoln reminiS-

markahle information that Hannibal

inaccurate is the statement of the
article that Lincoln did not get much
help from Hamlin. who was not
particularly useful at Washington ex-
ccpt in the way of recruiting early
Maine regiments The article also
gives some weird and wonderful state
ments regarding Hamlin's family his

ashamed for getting things so badly
mixed concerning a man so prominent
in American history. especially in this

Last year the newspapers rang with
the story OF the noble self sacrifice of
Jesus Garcia, Il locomotive engineer
who hooked his engine to burning
car of dynamite and hauled it out Of
the town of Nacazari. Mexico When
the explosion came the engineer was
instantly killed but the town was
saved. The explosion would have
completely wrecked it. with the loss of
many lives had it not been for the
quick wit and prompt action of the
"Greaser" engineer Now. the national
government of Mexico has voted $50
600 for a noble monument to the
memory of this simple and ignorant
laborcr who had the heart and the
head to do his duty in a crisis.

The Lincoln Cabin.

The identical old log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born 100 years
ago has again been put on the cars
and is being given another journey.
This time it is being carried back to its
original site at Hodgenville, kentucky,
where it will be erected and carefully
preserved within the great memorial
hall which is to be erected upon the
Lincoln farm and whose cornerstone
is to be laid by President Roosevelt
next Friday. Some skeptics may have
old logs which are said to have COM
posed this famous cabin. About doz-
en- years ago they were shipped from
Hodgenvil1e to Nashville and made a
feature of the exposition there. A. w.
bennett, who at that time owned, the
Lincoln farm, was absolutely sure that
the little log house was the identical
one in which Lincoln's parents lived In
1909 and in which Lincoln first saw the
light. Robert J. Collier, the chief pro-
moter of the movement which has re-
suited in the purchase of the Lincoln
farm as q national park, purchased the
cabin and presented it to the Lincoln
Farm association. 1t has been on eX-
kibition in New York and other places,
and for several years has been stored
in Louisville, Ky.
Now the cabin is homeward bound
again. 1t contains JAG pieces, including
logs, doors, nantes, etc, and by a
coincidence the man now in charge of
the cabin, and who will erect it again
in it's original form on the identical
spot which it occupied for generations,
bears the name of Lincoln, although
he is no relative of the martyred Pres
ident There is no doubt that the cab
in stood on the Lincoln farm, that it
in the early part Of the 18th century
and in oil probability it was the hum
BILE structure within which Lincoln was
born. 1t is a pity that it was ever
removed from it's original site and sent
around the country for exhibition pur-
poses 1t is to be hoped that the res
toration will be as closely as possible
along the original lines, and that the
cabin will be carefully guarded and
preserved in the future.

A Sheriffs Cruel Joke.
Camden Herald.)

Sheriff Carleton and the county COM
missioners of Waldo county have put
UP q cruel joke on the winter boarders
In TIE Waldo county Jail. For some
time the Jail has been on the prefer
red list in the hobo's book--no work
good grub and warm-but now all is
changed. Home isn't what it used to
be and the paradise has turned to
something quite the opposite Since
cold weather. tramps have been
brought in from all parts of the coun-
ty until about 20 have been enjoying
themselves in luxurious idlenesS at the
expense of the taxpayers. The coun-
ty commissioners and the sheriff
hatchched up plan which, it is be-
lieved, will somewhat effect the poDu-
larity of the place. For several days
teams have been unloading wood; old
growth birch. with an occasional
streak of beach and maple. some of the
sticks two feet in diameter and the
most of it tough enough for ship tim
Der and as hard to split as hickory
knots. The sheriff has fitted up we'll
equipped wood yard with plenty of
buck-saws axes and wedges and from
now out 1T Will be case of clean,
healthy exercise for the county guests.
IL they show Indifference the tobacco
ration IS to be cut off-a ten-cent cut
week and the average hobo cannot
get along without tobacco. The wood
pile idea is not SO much business ell
terprise on the part of the county as
to discourage the idea that the Bel
fast jail is a winter resort for the pro-
fessional tramps and it is believed will
prove effectual.

the Legislature which first granted the
rebate.
Doubtless all the opposition which
has arisen against the bill at the
present time is due to the fact that
the Democrats forced the matter as a
politica, issue in the last two CAM
paigns. The proposition from the
standpoint of the Bangor and ArOos-
took Railroad was purely one of busl-
ness. If the State stood back of the
proposition to build into the Allegash
region there was plenty of money
ready 10 go into the enterprise. This
was not altogether because the plan
to build promised such large financial
returns, but because of the vacc1lating
attitude of numerous states in their
legislation toward railroad interests,
Capital is naturally conservative, and
the ant-railroad legislation of the
past few years has led it to he still
more careful as regards railroad Sc
curitics. The State that proves a pio
ncer in the way of extending aid in
stead Of agitation to railroad enter
priSeS Will receive an influx of cap
ital, now being boarded in New York
and other capitalistic centers. Such
capital was ready to como to Maine,
if the policy of the State had been
shown to be favorable to such enter
rrises. 1t is therefore due to the in
PRODUCTION of politics into a question
which is not and never was political,
but one of domestic economy alone,
that the enterprise is abandoned for
the present.
We are not arguing for the policy OF
robatins taxes on railroad or any 9TH
CT enterprises The point We wish to
make clear is that the pernicious i'll
fiuence of the professional politician
has had an effect upon business mat
tiers of the State that is harmful from
the purely business standpoint The
need of the State is to take up thes,
questions upon their merits and give
the cold shoulder to the man or men
who try to intcrject partisan politics
into every possible question arising for
settlement within the State.

A Unioue Endowment.

If any man of wealth is in search of
something besides libraries and
colleges to endow, a humble suggestion
is held in the article taken from a
magazine published by the American
Association for the Teaching of
Speech to the Deaf. The object under
consideration, the only endowed flag
staff in the world, is that belonging 10
the Royal Asylum for the Deaf and
Dumb, at Margate, England. This
staff was erected in the first year of
the reign of King Edward VII in COM
memoratiOn OF his accession to the
throne. The cost was betrayed by the
pupils and friends. The collection
taken was so large that it enabled the
purchase of twenty flags Even after
the staff and the flags We're paid for,
$40 remained in the treasury. This
sum was invested for an endowment
fund, and the interest IS used every
other year in painting and repairing
the pole and tackle. Some of the
various flags bought are as follows:
The royal standard, which is flown on
the kings accession day, his birthday
and his coronation day; the Stars and
Stripes, run up on Roosevelt's birth
day and election day; the German and
French flags, used on the kaiser's and
presidents birthdays; appropriate
banners for st. David's, ST. Patrick S
and st. Georges days; the Union Jack,
for the anniversaries of famous battles
and flags for the church high feSti-
vals-Youth's Companion.

One Cent Pieces in the West,

The great West, which has always
prided itself and probably always Will
pride itself upon doing things on a
large scale, has reached the one-cent
era at last. That is to say, coins of
this denomination are in demand at
last On the Pacific slope as we'll as in
the Atlantic states and in consequence
Of this demand the San Francisco and
Denver minis for the first time In
their history are now striking off one
cent pieces. Over million OF them
We're minted at San Francisco in 1908.
Never before since 1898 when the first
one-ccnt pieces were coined, have such
coins been struck anywhere but at the
parent mint at Philadelphia, and their
circulation has been confined mainly
to the eastern half of the continent.
Until within very recent period these
smallest of our coins had no purchas-
ing value on the Pacific slope and IN
the Southwest 1t was not recognized
ard was seldom seen in circulation and
even now there are many western To-
calitics in which cent pieces are not
accepted.
In Colorado, for example, If person
tenders five-ccnt piece TO postmas-
ter for two two-cent stamps he re-
ceives in exchange, together with his
stamps. not one-Cent piece, but a
one-ceut postage stamp. There are no
cent Iicces in the money drawer of the
postmaster, and he doesn't desire any.
In Denver store a certain commodity
is quoted at, say, II cents a pound.
The purchaser must take either 10 or
20 cents worth. Nothing less than five
cents worth is sold. Apples may be
also five cents, just the same. Now
the people of the Centennial state are
going to have a chance Of becoming
acquainted with the little bronze cent
for it is the intention OF the govern
ment to strike cent pieces at the new
Denver mint in 1909.
California has had as little use for
the cent as other parts of the West.
For many years no coin Of less dcnom-
nation than 10 cents had a purchasing
value there, and in the gold days moth
ing less than 25 cents would buy any
thing, miners frequently throwing Il
handful of small silver pieces out into
the street as useless weight TO carry,
the "two-bits'' or quarter being the
minimum current coin.
Times have changed and the people
along the Pacific coast have been
quicker to adopt the cent than those
in the Rocky mountain district. Now
the coin is used in such quantities that
ii has been found advisable TO manu-
factlre cents on the ground and thus
save the expense of shipment across
the continent from Philadelphia. For
the calendar year of 1908 the United
States mint report shows that $11, $50
worth of cents were struck at the San
Francisco mint and $323,279.S7 worth at
Philadelphia.
