Our Growth Dependent upon Wider
Field for Trade.

Gen. s.. j. anderson, President of Portland DE-
Ogdensburg Railroad.
The wholesale dry goods trade of Portland
have too deep an interest in the questions OF
railroad extension now under consideration TO
remain silent. We realize fully that our opera
lions cannot be materially enlarged except as a
wider field is opened by railway lines into new
territory. This branch of business now exceeds
any other prosecuted here in the value OF COM
modities handled and sold. Its growth in the
past has been due mainly to railroads. 1t is by
means of railroads that Boston has taken
from us territory in Northern New Hampshire
and Vermont which was formerly ours for the
purposes of trade. We are assured that rail-
way direct from Portland through that impor-
tant district would restore very large part of
its trade to us. We know our ability to give
the buyer from northern New England as fa-
vorable terms, as choice variety as can the
Boston jobber. We buy of the same manufac-
turer as he, and at as low figures. Our ex.
penses are much less. Rents are lower, all
outlays are smaller than in Boston. We buy
for cash and have all the advantages due tc
this independent position. The Boston jobbel
keeps no larger stock of such goods as are sold
in New England than are kept here, so at least
with two or three exceptions
But that this line of business may extend
here, that more stores may be in request fol
rent, more hands employed for clerks, porters
draymen, etc.. that larger volume of profit
may be realized to be expended here to the
profit of every branch of trade, every craft
every craftsmanship, every form of labor and
property, it is necessary that we get easy access
| by rail, to wider back country.
| Your line will open to us not only region
in New Hampshire and Vermont, but will alst
enable us to compete for an important trade III
the West. These considerations lead us to ex
| press our anxiety that the Portland q Ogdens
burg railroad be promptly extended and carried
through. Portland cannot afford to let the en-
terprise fail The manufactures which we
hope to build up here, the trade that we hope
| to sustain and enlarge, are alike and equally
interested to push the great enterprise through
We are yours respectfully,

Died in Carlisle, Penn, on the twenty-sixth
January, Miss Phebe Paine, after a long life OF
Christian usefulness and lingering illness,
borne with Christian fortitude -
The following notice is from a Carlisle paper
The deceased was widely known, not only in
this community, but in New England, Middle
and Southern States, as successful educator of
the young of her own sex. She was the daugh-
ter of distinguished physician Of Portland,
Maine, and spent the earlier years of her life in
that city. Subsequently she successfully pre-
sided over several female educational institu-
tions located in various parts of the country,
the last being the Young Ladies' Seminary,
which she conducted with so much ability here.
At one time she was elected Professor of Eng
lish Literature in a Female College of South
Z Carolina, in which capacity she served until the
beginning of hostilities between the North and
South, when she returned to Carlisle-here to
end her days. Her many pupils, now grown to
womanhood, and scattered over the land. will
deeply regret to learn that one who did SO much
to impart to them her own dignity of character
and gentleness of manner, has passed away
from earth; but it will afford them satisfaction
to know that her beautiful life had cores
ponding close. Her last hours were full of ex-
pressions of gratitude to her Father above for
having been permitted to form so many pleas
ant associations on earth and of the hope of re-
newing those associations in Heaven. As the
end drew nigh, she apparently withdrew her tho
lights from all other friends and centred them on
the Friend ''above all Others" frequently muir
muring the loved name "Jesus, blessed jesus
until she fell asleep, leaving smile upon her
countenance which told of the peaceful rest into
which her spirit had entered. She was, indeed,
an Select LADY," singularly fitted by nature and
grace for a life of prominence and usefulness,
attracting to herself an unusually large circle
of friends, and commanding the esteem of all
who knew her. She will be greatly missed
from the sanctuary she so loved, from the home
which she graced by her amability and refine
ment, even in her declining years, and from the
entire circle of friends to whom she was so
warmly attached. w.

THE communication which appears else
where on the subject of uniformity of text
books in our schools expresses opinions that
are much in vogue in this vicinity. Portland
can manage and does manage the matter
of textbooks judiciously and economical
ly, and consequently desires no outside
interference. But in the State at large
the constantly recurring changes and the
extravagant prices imposed by publishers
constitute real abuse that amounts to
oppression. If judicious scheme could
be devised to remedy this evil it would, in our
opinion, be an important step in school reform.
While, therefore, the views ofour correspond
ent, on the general subject, are nicely calcu-
lated for this latitude, we doubt if they will
commend themselves to those who look at
the matter in its relations to the whole State.
As for the writer's aspersions upon the mo-
tives and conduct of the advocates of the
scheme now pending in the Legislature, they
are probably in the main unfounded. No
doubt there are publishers whose interests lie
in the direction of uniformity, and whose eff
forts are united with those of our school off
GERS to secure the passage of the bill estab-
fishing it. But so far as the State Superin-
tendent of Schools and his associates are
concerned we have the utmost confidence
that their efforts are prompted solely by con-
siderations of public utility. ..loi1 9

THE process of e-nationalizing' a people,
too frequently adopted at present, involves a
lingering suffering, poignant and deep. The
German Emperor has determined to C German
ize'' the Polish schools within his dominons,
as the Gar has Russianized another part of
the same unfortunate people. France CALI
cized" Alsace and Lorraine about two centuries
ago, and now these provinces are to be "Teu-
tonized" back again. Setting aside the senti-
mental tortures and the sacred memories and
customs rudely idesecrated, the mere personal
punishments which the pride or prejudices of
the conquered people constantly make necessa-
ry are enough to secure for this cruel process
the excavations of the civilized world. The Fl
il Islanders have way of eating their conquer
ed enemies. This slow mastication practised
by Christian civilization is hardly more de-
feasible practice. - Fa =.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 16, 1879.
An Idle Tale.

The attempt to create an impression that
two of the delegates to the Philadelphia Con-
yention of June 9Th, who were selected by
the Republicans of the Legislature, Wednes-
day night, are hostile to Grant and Colfax, is
a characteristic proceeding of the enemy, but
an entirely futile enc. If either of the four
gentlemen in question has any disposition to
turn the cold shoulder on the peoples ticket,
he certainly viii not dare to do so. The ma
ture of such proceeding would be like that
of Presidential Elector, who is under an i'm
piled pledge to give his vote for man that
has already been selected by body fresh
from the people, and who disregards his SOL
emn obligation and votes for the man of his
own choice. Indeed, the case of the recusant
delegate would be more infamous one,
since the theory of the constitution is that
Presidential Electors are to exercise an indie
pendent judgment. But so far, notwlth-
standing the corruption and bad faith
that have too often characterized the
proceedings of public men in this
country, we believe that there has
never yet been single case in which any
man has betrayed a trust of this kind. The
Electors of President and Vice-President are
an entirely independent body. The voters
are at their mercy. Chosen to give their bal
lots for U. S. Grant, they might elect Brick
Pomeroy, if they pleased, and he would for
the next four years be our constitutional
ruler. But no American has yet been found
shameless enough to court the bad eminence
such an act would give him. 1t would be
necessary for him to leave the country, tenn
porarily, at least, like Arnold and Burr.
What then should we say of man who &C
cepts position of important trust from a
body that unanimously favors given policy,
and to which he makes an implied promise,
as strong as any oath, to act in harmony
Herewith, and who nevertheless repudiates
his solemn pledge? This is depth of in
fanny to which, we are certain, F. A. Pike,
Frederick ROBBIE, Isaiah Stetson and E. c.
Harrington cannot stoop.
