MAINE CENTRAL EXTENSION.
' ACATION.

A writer in the Portland Press of Monday
copied Sec of chap. 81 of the Statute of
1888 entitled IAN act concerning railroads. y
and adds
The provisions of this act were continued
in force by the revised statutes of 1857, chap.
81, and by the revised statutes of 1870.
Up to the 2lst of September, inst, no To-
cation had been filed of the line of the Maine
Central extension1trom Danvile junction to
Cumberland.
Is it true that men have been at work in de-
tiance of law, and entered upon the land Of
individuals and are now cooperating between
Danville Junction and Cumberland? If So, is
that the manner in which the rights of citi-
zens are to be trampled upon? Is it not time
that the public authorities should bestir them
selves to protect the rights of the unoffendng
citizen! What right have men under the
semblance of power to trample upon the rights
of violence or resistance? Is it not the duty
of the County Attorney or the Attorney Gen
eral to afford protection to the private citizen
New GLOUCESTER.
In reply to which the Press of Tuesday had
the following communication.
CAS- l do not believe that your article of to-
day (Monday) in relation to this matter, signed
whose land has been entered upon, and there
fore deems himself agrieved, bat by an Off
cious intermcddler, undoubtedly inspired by
malice, will you allow me few lines in ex-
PLANTATION?
First, The law of 1853 as cited in that arti-
Gle is not in force, and is not contained in the
Statues.
Second, The location of the extension has
been properly and legally filed.
Third The land damages almost the full
extent of the route have been paid, and deeds
of the land taken; and that too by adjustment
between the parties satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and without litigation.
Fourth, No mans land is allowed to be en-
tered upon before payment of damages, save
by his consent. In one case, in which it was
done by mistake, the contractors upon notice
thereof, at once removed from the land, and
have not since entered upon it, though invited
to do so by the owner.
In fine so far as l know, the work is pro-
crossing rapidly, but in perfect harmony with
the land owners, and people along the line,
who have uniformly shown their good will,
many of them by giving depot grounds, and
all by doing all in their power to promote the
enterprise. If any one has any complaint
that his rights have been invaded by any
agent of the company. or the contractors, he
has but to make it known, and it shall re-
ceive prompt attention and redress, if well
founded.
In view of these facts, leave the conun-
drums proposed by your correspondent to an
swer themselves. josiah ii. DRUMMoND.

ROME AND ITAL Y.

The vote on the plebiscitum submitted
to the people OF Rome on Sunday, joins
that city to the kingdom of Italy, and ends
the temporal power of the Pope. This
act is the heartfelt expression of the peo-
pie, and much good may it Go them. 1t
is surmised that the Pope will leave the
city now that his temporal authority is
taken away, but there are very good rea-
sons why he should stay. Rome holds
the principal attractions of the Papal
church, and will continue to hold them.
All its successes and most splendid momo-
ries are connected with the Eternal City.
The abandonment of them would be q loss
for which no acquisition elsewhere could
compensate. Beside this is not the first
time the Papal Power has been disturbed
in Rome, but from the removal of the
Pope to Avignon in 1909, it has been sub
ject to vicissitude and change, so that it
has learned that changes are not always
death. These ideas may prevent the Pope
leaving the city, howsoever much his NOR
tifcation at his situation might incline him
to do otherwise. We imagine, however,
that there is little chance for the re-estab-
lishment of his power at Rome. For
long time it has been held by precarious
tenure, dependent upon the passions or
caprice of tickle and unstable soveregus.
and at length has gone down with the
sinking of Napoleon's fortunes. The end
of all will be, sooner or later, that the
Pope will be confined to his spiritual func-
tons, and Catholicism will take its chances
for propagation and continuation outside
of the aid of kings and emperors. Hit can
not stand without the necessary adiuncts to
the support of temporal power it must die,
and to this trial it will soon be subject
ed. While it occupies the position which
it holds, of antagonism to the spirit of lib
erty and progress which is spreading in
the world, its future prospects are not en-
couraging. 1t is not the least singular or
important event connected with theFranco-
Prussian war that Rome is to-day Il part
of the Italian Kingdom and the Papal
Power launched upon strange and uncel-
tain waters.

nifcent surrounding of mountain peaks and
forest scenery tinged with the all brilliant colors

! skirted with trees along its margin, but with
beautiful and fruitful farms on each shore.

rs HE ONL A PUPPETf

The well informed Portland correspon-
dent of the New York Tribune dasheS the
hopes of those who favor the "Chamoer-
lain movement" He says they starteo
early to insure Chamberlain seIectioh'
.but the case was not well managed -
alliances" he says, ''were made with the
democracy in some instances ana an III
tolerant and impolitic spirit peryaded the
leadership" For this he thinks Governor
Chamberlain was not to blame, and says
that "although it seems to be generally
concurred that Mr.. Morrill, will be return
ed to the Senate still the Governor vii
hold prominent position among the com
ing men of New England. To this he
might have added that the Chamberlain
movement" has not increased his reputa-
ton or improved his prospects. In regard
to the "revenue reform" letter in the New
York Post and articles in the Nation squint-
inc in the same direction, he says the Gov
ernor had nothing to do with them, and
that he has been placed on the reciprocity
and anti-tariff platform without his know
ledge or consent.
The kind hearted correspondent of the
Tribune evidently desired to let Governor
Chamberlain down as easily as possible,
but he gives him no credit for will, ability
OR sagacity, leaving him to stand as doit
or puppet in the hands of a few wire pull
lers, who have used him as they thought
best. Governor Chamberlain has never
been considered up to the time OF this
chamberlain movement to be man OF
putty, and we shall require more evidence
than has yet been shown to convince us
that such is his character. The notion that
he has been an innocent nobody in the po-
itical transactions which have centered
upon him as candidate for United States
Senator is a greater reproach to his sagac-
ity than anything his opponents have
charged him with in that direction. If ii
be true, as his friends say, that he has been
a mere tool of the Adventures in the
SIldluUeTldlu uiOf tiliSHt, tustt ideb Iui
nishes one of the strongest arguments of
his unfitness to hold the place of United
States Senator. We, however, don't be-
lieve the assertion, even though his friends
make it. The correspondent referred to
above closes as follows:
1.-The talk that the Chamberlain Repub-
hcans would not 60 into the Legislative
caucus to nominate a Senator, but would
Join with the Democrats in general move,
finds, as we supposed would be the case,
little favor when it comes to be looked
square in the face. Only few but have
already abandoned that position for they
are all interested to abide by the results OF
these caucuses in the selection of State and
Legislative officers, and they now see very
clearly that they will be held throughout
to the conventionalities of party,
Nor would the Democrats unite in the
proposed move. At present it does not
look as though one-half of them could be
got to abandon their party organization !;
and it can thus be pretty safely set down
as a fact that the Republicans Of the Leg
islature will elect Senator without any
alliances"
