NIIasma Rendered Power less.

The most certain way to render powerless the mi.

other malarious disorders is to fortify the system
against them with that matchless preventive Of

remedial operation of the Btters is no less certain
than their preventive effects, and they may be re.
lied upon to overcome cases Of fever aud ague

democratic majority and is leading the re-
publicans to success, yet insists that he Is
no statesman-that he is only politician
Very singular ideas these wonderful crit
les have of craftsmanship. What do they
really mean by their use ofterms' Weo'
ster defines statesman: "a man verse"
in the arts Of government; one eminent
for political abilities Brought to prac-
tical test we doubt if there is another man
in the country more thoroughly acquaint-
ed with all the forms, methods and work
inrs of the States and national govern
ment of this country than James G.
Blaine.
There are men who in action and avail
able power are much less than their writ
ten and spoken words. There are others
whose speech is less than their deeds.
The latter have a reserved force
which their words do not measure,
but is always made to tell when the
hour of effort and trial comes. What
Mr.. Blaine has accomplished when
brought to the test, shows that he does
not belong to the former class. He was
early in life political student OF remark
able insight and application, then an able
and popular journalist with rare opporiu-
mites for political culture and experience,
repeatedly the Speaker Of the Maine House
Of Representatives, fourteen years mem
Der of Congress, for six years the speaker
OF the National House of Representatives,
with a success equalled by none since
Henry Clay sixty years ago occupied the
position and not surpassed by the great
kentuckian himself.
The scope, the power, the success of Mr..
Blaine's present leadership of the republi-
can minority, the country now scans for
itself and can make up its opinion. With
a remarkable memory Of all salient facts
in the political history Of the country, with
a knowledge Of the men in different sec
tons of the Union surpassed by no living
American, with personal magnetism
rarely equalled, he gathers men quickly
around him, and holds them with great
tenacity. His administrative qualities are
of the highest order. With an astonish-
ing capacity for work, all his powers I'M
der thorough discipline, with a complete
mastery of all necessary details. few men
can accomplish SO much. A born leader
of men. buoyant. resolute, interchangeable,
he always proves equal to what is expec-
ted of him. If chosen President, his adj
ministration would be one OF the most
able and successful in the history of the
government. His would prove practi-
cal, comprehensive. sagacious statesman
ship, thus showing how utterly mistaken
have been the comments of special class
ofcritics, that he is consummate master of
political tactics, an able parliamentarian
but no statesman. Fortunate will it be
for the country and for the republican
party, if he becomes the next National Ex-
ecutive.

To the Ednor Of McSowraaI'
10 response to Tax Payer, 1t Is is suggested that
international railway from Quebec to Wiscassct,
passing through Augusta, ought to help it as q
city. Certainly such a road passing through any
other place similarly situated, could not fail to ex
crt stimulating influence upon its growth and
unless there is something peculiar about Augusta
that neutralizes all influences of this sort, it must
necessarily have similar effect upon her. She
occupies commanding position on this contemp-
lated through line" which trsverses aregion pos
sessng vast natural resources, and unless hers
should prove an exceptional experience, she would
derive the usual benefits from an enterprise of its
magnitude and character, which could not fail to
be great. The meeting referred to, assumed that
the railroad if built would be of immense adyan-
tage to every town, person and species of property
situated along its route, basing that assumption
on the common experience of the country con
corning the effect of railway communications
where the business prosperity OF localities opened
up to them. Ii Tax Payer has ''evolved from
his inner consciousness" anything adverse to the
commonly received notion that railroads arc not
only benefit but necessity, in these times. the
community would unques.ionably most gladly
listen to any explanations of his novel discovery

This wonld make it necessary for Augusta to
pay only $780, 00 Somerset road only S30,0oo'
Wlscasset $54 900, and other towns in proportion
But suppose, to induce English capitalists to
take the bonds of the road, it should be necessary
to guarantee for eight yearsi The whole amount
of interest for that time would be only $4,000 if
the towns had to pay it all. But that cannot be;
there cannot be any doubt but the road would pay
expenses and interest in at most five years time
This being the case, the true policy is union OF
the several roads, Let the officers of the several
interests in Maine meet and arrange for union OF
the three roads IN one; and then lease TINS 10 the
Lewis & kennebec road, to be run by them, making
contract with the owners OF thatroad, who are con-
tractors to build to Wiscasset IN the shortest time
and at the lowest cost per mile; raising funds for
the same in England on the bonds OF the road, IN
terest to be guaranteed on the same Tor certain
number of years by the Somerset road and the
plantations, towns and cities through which the
road is built, as proposed above, which would
make the burden comparatively light for ALL and
as it would be spread over term Of years would
be easy to be borne. The towns and parties in
terested, making this guarantee holding the stock
of the road in proportion to the amount guaran-
teed which would be a vast property, from the
first comforting a great benefit on the State, and
when paid for, as it would be in few years by
the earnings of the road, would be source of
great income to the owners. This seems TO be
the plan as Swallowed by the Quebec gentlemen.
1t is very favorable, and should be carried out even
if the terms on consultation not satisfactory
as above.
Therefore as the initiatory steps must be taken
by the Presidents of the several roads, Messrs.
Dewitt Ingalls, and Aver may be assured that
they cannot move too fast satisfy the friends of
the enterprise. In conclusion will state that
did not attend the meeting at Augusta or Wiscas-
set, did not see the gentleman from Quebec, and
my report as to the building is only second hand,
and may be incorrect which trust is not the
case. y.
