WHY TIE IRON-CLADs ARE GOING TO New
YORK. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. The Navy
Department to day ordered the iron-clad Mi
antonomah to report to the Port Admiral at
New York. The orders to Commander Raw
son to command the Terror, are modified so
that he will report on the first Of December.
Commander Blake has been ordered to Com
mand the Alaska.
The ordering of the Miantonomah and sew
cral other national vessels to New York was
doubtless supernduced by the approach of the
Spanish war vessels to that harbor-not in
anticipation of trouble, but merely to assure
foreign visitors of our preparation for all
emergencies.

To-day several prominent physicians OF
this city were summoned to give their tcsti-
mony rs to the eXpediency Of filling in the
Charles River flats. They all testified against
1t, and DE-. Buckingham stated that he object
ed because wherever such filling took place
the filth underneath invariably worked IN to
the surface On Arlington and Berkeley
streets, and also on Commonwealth Avenue.
he had known that when parties had left
their residences for the summer, the silver

the mud would So work up through the gray

would be obliged to leave their homes.

=, treaty which shall b.

1t is not surprising that the depression in
shipbulding which MI. Blaine refers to
should exist in Maine and the Provinces
A prohibtory tariff is the deadly enemy Of
navigation. And when the fair terms offered
by the Canadian commissioners in 1866, are
rejected, no wonder that shipbuilding de-
preston exists in both countries. There is
no use in building vessels when trade regula-
tons give nothing to carry. The remarks
about the navigation laws have no force in
this connection. Nobody proposes to throw
open the coasting trade-nor does any one
desire to register foreign built ships, if ships
can be built in this country Free trade now
means Il tariff for revenue and not for pro-
lection. We venture the hope that the in
telligenl and able committee' to which refer
encc is made will find some means of rclev-
ind American shipping, and that one of its
recommendations will be the repeal Of the
enormous duty on copper, which increases by
a thousand dollars the cost of metaling 4
ship in New York. The record shows that
Mr.. Blaine did not vote against this bill.
We need, particularly in New England,

ing double the price that our fuel would cost
if we had 4 treaty with the Dominion allow

Blaine's argument is excellent for Pennsyl-
vania, where anthracite is mined and in
which lie is said to be engaged, but it is mighty
poor talk for 4 representative of Maine to
make We need also ship timber, lumber
and gypsum. The people of the Dominion
want a thousand of our natural products and
manufactured articles. And these reciprocal
wants would soon result in 4 return of the
days when our trade with the Provinces
amounted to forty millions yearly. Let US
hope to see them, despite of radical tallacies

RAILROAD COMPLETION.

BANGOR, Nov. %. The last rail of the
Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad was laid at
Foxcroit Friday afternoon. The whistle of
the locomotive WAS answered by the ringing
of church and factory bells, which called to-
gether large impromptu meeting, at which
conSratulatory speeches We're made. The
road will be opened to regular traflics about
December ID. A movement is to be made
the coming winter to extend the road beyond
the present terminus.

The Belfast Journal wants it understood that the
fight in his doorway didn't belong to his office.
Though belgerent, he is not probably in fighting
condition. Bangor Wing.
It's all because we are afraid. Bold and
fearless men, like the conductor of the Wing,
can't imagine what we suffer from timidty.
The Wing can see from our columns how
afraid we are to speak out and say anything
that might hurt the feelings Of anybody. And
when we happen to do 50, how ready we are
to beg everybody's pardon and take it all
back! No doubt the Wing can recall num-
crous instances of this. 1t is a constitutional
iniirmty that we can't help. If anybody
should come TO the office with bcligcrent in
tentions, Of course we shouldn't dare to meet
his wrath. Now if, in years past, we had
only possessed the lon-hcarted boldness OF
the Wing, which never toadied anybody, we
might have been remembered in Dwinels
viii, along with other virtuous persons.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

As the time for the meeting Of Congress
draws near, the impending measures are dis
cuSsed. Members fresh from observation of
the state of things in the country and confer
ences with their constituents, come back with
changed notions. What is contemplated for
the relief of the shipping interest cannot yet
be even reasonably surmised, Or whether any
thing ut all will be done. The Committee
upon the subject is very reticcnt as to its pro-
posed recommendations. The Internal Reve-
dergo some modification, notwithsandin o
the avowed desire of the President and Sec
retary Boutwell, that no change shall be made
ut present. II is said that Judge Kelley has
q proposition to reduce the duties on many
articles impossible Of production here, for
the benefit of consumers.
The currency question will be one of the
first Importance. The west and south are
clamorous for more of the circulating me-
dunn wherewith to transact the business of
their sections. Tncv ask for more green
backs.
The great question OF foreign policy, and
which may come TO overshadoW all questions,
is that of our relations to Cuba. Shall we
hold steadfastlv and coldly 10 strict neutrali-
ty, netting out to Spain the justice she meas
urcd not to us when confederate cruisers
We're supplied, tetcd and caressed in her
harbors; or forgetting the strict lottor of in
ternational law in our sympathy for young
and warm-hcartcd Cuba, and pity for her suf-
farings, shall we give official expression to
our feelings, and virtually set her free? Shall
Uncle Sam, with his traditional striped
trowscrs and bell-crowncd hat, walk loving
ly beside plump, pretty, impulsivc Cuba, with
the rising star Of empire glttcring on hen
forchead9 The time is full of interest Oh
this question But everybody seems to be
non-committal. and to be waiting for the
opinions Of the Presidents Message. We
incline to the belief that Grant will say moth
inc to encourage the Cnbans.
Printers will be glad to know that the
Message is to be but three columns long.

All the later information, VIC suppose the
Wing would intimate, is to be found in its
own columns. 1t is hardly safe to receive as
gospel truth the election reports that appear
therein. Immediately after the New York
election the Wing reported the Democratic
majority in the State to be 10000, that the
Legislature was republican, and it stuck to
the statement for a long time. The truth is
that the majority for the Democrats is over
$4,000 and that they have both branches OF
the Legislature. Fit is so Uniformed respect
ing New York, how much can be relied upon
its statements regarding distant Minnesota
However, in order to appease the wrath OF
our contemporary, we will publish the true re-
turns Us soon as it is ascertaincd beyond
doubt that they arc true. When the Secretary
of State of Minnesota shall certify to the
actual returns, let the Wing get them cndors-

scribed the Washburn family. Then let Gov.
Brownlow certify that it is reigiously true.

nothing to do with paper credits. When the
