ELooUENr AND TRUE.--The London ,(England)
Advertiser, speaIing Of the United States and
Great Britain, uses the following language:
Contemplate England, groaning with taxation,
and struggling in sanguinary war: with her
trade deranged, her populace disconnected, her
government the corrupt machine of anoligarcby,
and her revenues squandered for she knows not
what; and contrast her with America--the Amer
.ica that British Cabinet Ministers treat with so
much.ndifterence- statesmen are cultiyating
the arts of peace, and whose commerce is gather
ing golden harvest to the nation. She it is that
stands boldly forward in her civil greatness; she
it is that presents striking contrast to the mill
itary despotism of Europe; she it is with her
thousand miles of unguarded coast, her unwalled
cities, her meagre navy, combining within herself
the elements necessary to great military nation.
Peace reigns at her 6reside; her throne is not in
mourning. Her legislators are devising means to
relieve her overdowing treasury, her trade is Wig
orous, her people are increasing beyond eompar-
ison in wealth, her government is at least cheap
and useful. Would tina. we could say the same |!
England spends her blood and treasure in fight

quickly and we'll. ,.,,,...,. :. ....

BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 16.
The City Marshal, Weaver, who was deposed
from that Office, also from four other Offices which
he held under our municipal government, on
charge of official corruption, has absconded. He
had few days before disposed of all his real
estate and other property, and his absconding
has caused much sensation here.

The PUBLIC PRINTISG.--Thcre seems to be con-
siderable hustle among some Of our cotemporaries,
who are anxious to secure the public printing!
One says he has ten members engaged, another
all but four, whom he thinks he can buy up---an-
other has secured one third Of the job, positively,
and another is sure that ALL parties will vote for
him, and he is ssbunk." As for ourselves, we
worked hard for the party would be glad of part
of the public printing, but at the same time we
dspise the manner in which it is usually procur-
ed. Perhaps it would be well to give it to the
rural prints. s ss r.

DEFENSE OF N. Y.-The recent news from
Europe has set people to thinking about the
probabilities of foreign war, and the necessi-
ty for strong defense. The Gothamites par
ticularly are excited, and inquire how is
New York to be defended z" The Sun of the
18th says:
"Thc natural facilities for the defense of our
port are unsurpassed, and with half the cost of
a permanent fortiication capable of mounting
one hundred guns, we can in one month con-
struci batteries after the style of those raised
so quickly and substantially by the Russians
before Sebastopol, capable of mounting from
500 to 1000 guns. Our standing defenses
will mount over 900 guns, and even withou,
any additions, no fleet will rashly attempt to
force an entrance"
We are inclined to think that any attempt
which might be made to enter the port of New
York, would be attended with terrible destruc.
ton on the part Of the invading feet. We dc
not dream of any such an attempt.

ERRArA.---It is said figures won't lie, but yes
terday they told whopper for us in our leading
article. The number of steamboat arrivals for
1885 should read forty eight instead of eighty
eight. The error Is evident from the context -
Minnesotian.
Gy We think figures do lie, for it is scarcely
possible that there should be forty eight steamboat
arrivals at st. Paul, when St. Paul was not in er-
istence. If we are not mistaken, Minnesota was
organized in lS49, some fourteen years after the
arrival at St. Paul of forty-eight steamboats,,
(vide the Minnesotian) according to the fig
ures of our cotemporary, would make our city, da-
ting from the year 1885, just 20 years old. 1t

BRIDGE ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI AT FoRr
SNELLINc.---The Minnesotian is agitating the
propriety of constructing a bridge across the
Mississippi at Fort Smelling. This is a move
ment of vital interest to St. Paul. We want a
more direct communication with the Minneso-
ia Valley, in both winter and summer, and
particularly at this season Of the year, when
the streams are impossible. A Suspension
Bridge could easily be constructed at the Fort,
and we feel sure that it would pay the stock
holders well. Then we could have daily
mail with most Of the towns in the Valley,
which is much needed. The matter is one in
which we feel deep interest, and one which
shall enlist our earnest cooperation. Gentle
men, let us have that Bridge. 0"g ssIo.
