Library Bill Changed.

The library bill will be on for third
reading in the house Wednesday morn
ing. Objections of Pendleton and
Ashland have been inserted as am
endments by the authors of the bill,
and the measure will probably pass
the house without further opposition.
Owing to the congestion in the legis-
dature it may not reach third reading
in the senate.
The commission appointed by the
governor was late in preparing the
measure. which should have been in
troduced early in the session.

Editorial Comment


New York Times. Ind't Dem.)
According to Senator Noses OF New
Hampshire, the Republicans Of that
State will favor the nomination OF
General Leonard Wood for President
at the National Convention Of 1890.
General Wood is . native of New
Hampshire, . citizen Of Kansas. Gov
ernor Allen Of the Sunhowers Is as
well disposed toward him as Senator
Moses. The latter finds that Repub-
lican sentiment In favor Of General
Wood represents the Roosevelt ira
as well a. in the West. The only
question. Mr.. Moses says. is whether
this general Republican good opinion
of General Wood as q candidate can
be transmitted into the kind Of SEN
timent that produces delegates that
nominate presidents" That trans
mutation. in the absence of an I'M
Jnistakable. 'overpowering" public
sentiment. depends, in no small de-
gree. upon skillful political calcula-
ton. preparation. manipulation.
As a close friend Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
as worker for preparedness, General
Wood represents the Roosevelt ira
dition and inheritance more fully, per-
haps. than any other leader. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether that will
particularly commend him to Old
Guard Republicans. As Governor
General Of Cuba, as we'll as in various
military capacities, he has shown re-
markable ability as an administrator.
He has great personal charm and
force, the gift or art II impressing
himself upon persons whom he meets.
upon crowds. 1t has been charged by
his opponents. and is believed. per-
haps. by some Of his own friends,
that he is sometimes indiscreet Of ut
terance. 1t seems more probable.
however. that his supposed indiscre-
! lions and impulsiveness Of speech
! are pondered. intended, deliberate, as
were Mr.. Roosevelts. He is an at
tractive. a patriotic. and an able man.
1t is to be observed. however, that
some of his friends. including Senator
| Moses. make a mistake in dwelling
| upon his supposed grievances. with
Roosevelt" says Senator Moses, "he
accepted uncomplainingly the fate
| which jealous politicians melted out
ITO him. and did his full duty at home,
like the good soldier that he is" Gen.
| eral Wood did his full duty at home.
General Wood is we'll liked in the
East and in the West. II his friends
are wise. they will dwell on his posi-
| tive merits and achievements, and
not rake up vainly the ashes of old
grudges and suspicious. He is not
only clever. but brilliant. and an en-
gaging personality. Whether it is sa-
eacious to put him into the field 50
carly is another question. At any
rate. among SO many severely local
| Republican candidates he seems to be
at present the one capital and ma
tional figure.

Peculiar at Least

The Journal has repeatedly since
the old I'd Maine left home for service
across the sea pointed out that the
Boston papers did not give proper
credit to the Maine outfit, even to a
spirit Of unfairness to a sister state.
Everyone knows the operation Of the
censor's department. shutting off
practically all information for weeks
and months. 1t was practically i'm
possible to secure reliable news from
France other than that allowed to
trickle out through the Associated
Press. which could not, with the mil
lions over there, pay much attention
to any individual regiment.
The mutterings and complaints
from both officers and men of the 103d
regiment were many and deep and
they were fully voiced and empha-
sized by the Journal. which gave
thousands of anxious Maine fathers
and mothers news from the army
through facts gathered from hundreds
upon hundreds Of soldier boys let
tiers. We did the best We could to
give the public the news about our
own Maine boys and full credit to the
gallant I'd Maine infantry. Now
comes the peculiar point-listen:
A regimental history Of the 1880 is
published. We're glad Of it, for it is
