CONSOLIDATION.

Some little opposition of individuals is
showing itself to the consolidation OF the
Portland and kennebec and Maine Central
railroads, but the public is unconcerned
about it. Consolidation as now effected
in no new or unheard of or secret thing.
1t was openly talked of in the Legislature
last winter, and it was well understood
when the bill before that body was dropped
that the Companies would consolidate
under the existing statutes. Had the
Legislature been opposed to such step,
there was an opportunity at that time to
have exercised their power, but no move
of the kind was made. In the hearing
before the Committee on Railroads the
whole general plan as now consummated
was developed by those who favored con-
solidation, and if those individuals who
are now troubled about it did not know it
the fault must have beell their own. We
venture to say that the people who have
business to do on these roads will find no
fault with the change, and their interests
are identical with the interests of the
people at large. SO we shall not have q
very serious growl over the matter.

With internal taxation reduced to the low
figure proposed by Mr.. Schenck, and the
debt funded at four and u half per cent.
the nation will be relieved of an immense
burden and may go on its way rejoicing.
The funding of the debt is not second in
importance to any measure before Con-
gress. We are paying an enormous rate
of interest, besides having our indebted
ness in such an unorganized condition
that but few can tell in what and of what
it consists with the debt funded the load
of interest will be lessened and the debt so
organized that all may understand it. Let
these twin measures succeed and Con-
gress may present record that will merit

REDUCTION OF INTERNAL TAXA
IION

The bills now before the House, re-
ported from the Ways and Means Com
mttee, to reduce and nearly repeal inter-
nal taxation, are in accordance with the
general sentiment of the country, and
will receive we have no doubt favorable
action at the hands of Congress. We are
not sure that in all particulars they will
be entirely satisfactory, but in principle
they are right, and the time has fully
arrived that they were adopted. 1t is
amply demonstrated by the last years
financial operations that the country is
able to pay its debt, means to pay it, and
that too as fast as its creditors desire pay
ment. But our present taxation is burden
some, aud is operating to embarrass and
impede our Industries, check individual
enterprise, and thus retard the national
prosperity and growth. While under our
present rate of taxation we may show
IA larger reduction of the national debt,
we shall have under the reduced rate
proposed and the consequent unhampering
and free use of our energies as people,
much greater ability to pay the debt.
1t is not merely what is paid that makes
the burden. but the lettering of our hands
so that they cannot produce what they
otherwise would Reduction of taxation
then means an increase of national wealth.
1t is said by those who oppose reduction
that it may iniure our credit. but that
argument can scarcely stand against the
fact that the means to pay our debt, upon
which our credit depends, will be i'm
proved by the removal of taxation. The
question of the national obligation and
willingness to pay the debt has of course
some influence upon our credit but the
decisive defeat which all steps towards
Reputation have met at the hands of the
people. has settled that matter beyond a
doubt. so that it is scarcely considera.
ton with the public creditors at this da,
we believe.
We trust therefore that the measures
brought forward by Mr.. schenck may b.
adopted in the main, and Mt as early da,
as possible. the sooner the better. lie
us give free scope to the energies Of tn
nation, looking wisely to the encourage
ment aud sproteetion Of its commercial
and industrial interests, and in this wa
we shall best assure the liquidation {
the public debt. Let us not make haste
against our own prosperity and under n
necessity. 20 pay off the debt. We hav

loss of human life, is the injury which the bonn

one thing has made the name OF Strasbourg
celebrated, is one of the finest Gothic build
ings in Europe 1t was founded A. ID. 504,
The choir was built by Charlemagne, probably
about A. ID. 500, though it was not completed
until 1889. The material of which the cathe-
dral is built is brown stone. very much resein-
