invitation of England, will agree upon the only
solution Of the Schleswig- Holstein difficulty
which would be satisfactory to the people of the

French alone has proclaimed principle, upon
which a lasting solution could be found; but it
is still doubted whether he will abide by his
principle, if another course should offer greater
advantages. 1t is not likely therefore, that ths|
proposed Conference will be instrumental inI
decreasing in the least the grave complications

monopolies TO themselves, lay down tracks Wner'

show that such road will meet with these IT.

not. The route of this Road is up Elm and CrosO!

ment that could be intrusted with any public work
without their making an immense swindlneIo0,
it would be worth while 10 consider whether new

William H. Edes editor and proprietor OF the
PiscataquiS Observer, at Dover, in this State, is
the oldest printer in Maine. A correspondent
has recently written a letter 70 the Bangor Wing,
from which We condense the following items:-
In 1908 Mr. Edes worked on the Kennebec
Gazette, published at Augusta. The same year
he worked on the Bangor Register; in 1922 he
worked on the Hallowel Gazette; in 1928 on the
Advertiser in this city, at the time Erastus Brooks
was the "devil." Mr.. Brooks is now one of the
devoted editors of the New York Express.
In 1928 Mr. Edes assisted IN starting the first
paper in Somerset county, called the journal, at
Norridgewoek, and made his advent as editor.
He soon sold out, exchanging the chair for the
case.
Twenty.six years since he started the first Pis-
cataquis county sheet, under the name Of the
Herald, merging 1t into the Farmer, and now
known as the ObSeTrer
