THE Calais Times publishes long let
ter written by Hon. Geo. f. Talbot of this
city to Calais gentleman showing that the
proposed Shore Line Railroad, if built, will
be burden rather than benefit TO the peo-
pie of his native county. The engineer Of
the proposed railroad having made some esti-
mate of the bu,iness of the road for the first
year after it shall be completed, Mr.. Talbot
analyzes them in style at once searching
and vigorous. The engineer in his report
stated that the gross receipts of the road the
first year would be 81 1850, 900 and that when
running expenses were paid, ten per cent
interest on the bonds and seven per cent.
dividend on the stock, there would still be
surplus of S33SS50. Mr.. Talbot's illustra-
ton from the census, the valuation table and
the business of that part Of the State show
the estimates of the experienced engineer to
be the widest nonsense, Mr.. Talbot has un-
doubtedly told his old friends more truth than
they will thank him for and which they prob.
ably will not heed unless comnelled to because
thew cannot raise the money. Mr.. Talbot
does not recognize the fact that the most sen.
sible and cool headed men will lose their bal
ance and utter the most astounding nonsense
when they get started on railroad enterprise.

ever arise between them. Other nations
might fight, as the Americans and British
once did, but the Americans aud Canadians,
if any outside quarrels arose, had better fol-

The priests and politicians who endeayored
to force the Catholic school question into
politics in New Jersey. have afforded the
people an opportunity to illustrate their
loyalty to the primary American idea of the
common school. The effort to defeat the
constitutional anne ndment that guaranteed
the integrity of the common school was over
whelmiDgly defeated, and in Newark, where
the priests denounced the amendment from
the altars of their churches, a political revo-
luton swept their especial friends from
power. At the election Tuesday, in Essex
county, Patrick Doyle, the father of the
Catholic Protectory bill, which caused the
defeat of the Democrats, was beaten by his
Republican competitor, Marcus S. Richards,
by a majority of over 200. Mr.. Doyle had
majority of OPS last year. For voting in ia
vor of that measure, Mr.. Harrington, in
Gloucester county; Messrs. Cary and Nc
Donald,in Hudson; Mr.. Wycko1, in Warren; !;
Mr.. Van Cleef, in Middlesex, and Mr..
