The President Of the Union Railway Com

A story is going the rounds that tele-
gram petitioning respite for murderer
sentenced to be hanged in New Mexico fell
into the hands OF ''little Benny Brewster"
son of the Attorney General. Seizing q
card, he scrawled upon it in childish char
scters, "Give the poor man chance" and
signed 1t "Ben." The card, with an ex-
planstorY note by Mrs. Brewster, was sent
with the telegram to the Presidents Seere-
tst y, and on the next day respite of thirty
days for the condemned man was an
nounced. The Detroit Free Press thinks
that IL this is true, exactly as told, 1t is not
very creditable to the President. "Benny's"
sympsthies are well enough, but murderers
in the Western Territories are not the kind
of men to whom mercy can be shown for
merely sentimental reasons. They never
give their victims respite for so much as
thirty seconds, aud to allow soft-hesrted
small boys to interfere with the govern
ment's dealing with them, is to give that
geatry aid and comfort which it cannot well
afford.
According to statistics recently published
the population of Russia doubles itself in
fifty eight years. This result is not accom-
pllshed in Germany in less than sixty-eight
years. In Austria 1t requires ninety-fve
years; in Switzerland ninety nine; In Italy
one hundred and forty-one, and in France
one hundred and sIxty-five. 1t is suggested
that the solution of this favorable exhibit
may be found in the tables of illegitimacy.
While in England sixty-one Of every one
thousand children are born outside of we'd
lock, in Italy sixty-six, in France seventy
three, in Germany eighty. eight, in Sweden
ninety six, in Denmark one hundred and
ten, and In Austria one hundred and twenty
four, the ratio in Russia is only thirty.
There Is no doubt that domestic virtue tells
favor bly, OF tt health and prosperity Of a
population, and it may also be regarded
the test Of peoples cisiliZFioa. md from
this it may be inferred that Russia is far
from being the barbarous nation she has
been sometimes represented.

The immense benefits which railroads
confer on a State has been fully ex-
emplifed in the case of Illinois, which is
one of the most prosperous common
wealths in the Union, and boasts of per-
haps the finest railway system. Accord
ing to the seventeenth annual report of
the State Railroad Commission there are
sixty railroad companies doing business
in the State, and they have capital
stock of over five hundred millions of
dollars. Their stocks, bonds and float
ing debt amount in the aggregate to over
a billion of dollars. During the past
year these roads employed 125, S07 men,
and paid in wages over sixty-six millions
of dollars. This is a good showing for
the railroads of that State, and no
wonder it has rapidly grown in wealth
and population.

A petition, signed by several wholesale
and manufacturing merchants in New
York city, has been forwarded to Wash
ington, and will be presented to Con-
gress by Hon. S. S. Cox, which states
that the signers have business relations
with merchants engaged in the retail
trade in the District of Columbia, and
by the laws of that District an annual
license fee of 5000 is imposed upon all
statesmen and agents engaged in solicit
ing orders by sample or otherwise for
the sale of merchandise. And the petit
ton adds that said license law is ex-
cessive, arbitrary and unconstitutional, !"
and that it is detrimental not only to all
wholesale dealers having business with
the District, but also to those residing
there. 1t urges that "the District of
Columbia shall be open and free to each
and every citizen of the United States,
without restriction.

The report of the Indiana State Mine
Inspector shows that Indiana is now the
fourth coal producing State in the
Union. The first coal shaft was sunk by
John Hutchinson, in 1850, one mile east
of Newburgh, on the bank of the Ohio
river. This shaft is still operated. Pike
and two of the adjoining counties are
underlined with two immense beds of
coal, extending under the whole section
of that country. One of these seams
runs from three to four feet and the
other from seven to ten feet in thickness
The coal of this new district is not Of
the best quality, but will compare
very favorably with other Goals of the
Sta'e. The seam is generally level.
Most of the openings are drifts. The
seams are reached in some places by
slopes, and in few places shafts are sunk.
There are eighty-six mines in the State,
employing 4, 567 men, producing III
536 tons of coal, and requiring 81, 442,
210 capital.

The friends Of the tariff commission
bill are more hopeful than they have
been since their recent set back of having
the measure considered before long. A
friend of the bill states that several
prominent Democrats had informed him
that they had changed their minds and
would vote for it. Mr.. ]. Randolph
Tucker, one of the leading revenue re-
formers in the House, says that the tariff
reformers would probably not offer
serious resistance to the consideration of
the bill; certainly not if they could
secure an opportunity to vote on toe
alternative proposition, directing the
Committee on Ways and Means to pre-
pare and report a general tariff bill.

Affairs has agreed upon bill to provide
for the allotment of lands in severalty to
Indians on reservations, and to extend
the civil and criminal laws Of the re-
spective States or Territories to each

erection, but the bill prescribes that one
hundred and sixty acres Of agricultural
land shall be patented to each head Of a
family, and eighty acres TO each single

each orphan child The lands thus &C
auired By the Indians are to be inaliena-
bic and free from taxation for period

The Galveston Neaos is of the opinion
that the high credit Of Texas is one of
her greatest drawbacks. Her credit is so
good that her bondholders refuse to sell
their bonds for less than 40 or 80 per
cent. premium, whereupon the Nesos
thinks that if she had no balance in the
Treasury and no adequate financial re-
sources ''she would probably be able to
utilize Mahoneism and readjust her debt
on a basis of from 40 to so per cent. dis
count, thus saving about 20 cents on the
dollar" Nevertheless we rather think
that Texas is far better off as she is han
if she were in a condition ito utilize
Mahoneism.

"Mahone, Virginia, in letter to Gov

the Virginia of to-day ''is welded indis-
solubly to a broad Americanism." The
only conclusion which can reasonably be
deduced from the above is that "broad
Americanism" and reputation are
synonymous terms. If Malone, Vir-
GINA, speaks truth America must
occupy a very unenviable position IN the
eyes of honest men, both at home and
abroad

BANGOR.
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:


Just at this time when 80 much is being
said concerning the narrow gauge, and while
the comparative merits of Hartford and Ban
gor are being so thoroughly reviewed, per-
haps few statistics as to the amount of
freight shipped from the latter point may
not be amiss For certainly, this is one of
the items which should have considerable
weight with the managers of the road.
The chemical works produce 1000 bbls.
of lime and co gallons of alcohol per day.
and ship an average of 125 carloads each
year, while the furnace has daily record of
~ tons of the best charcoal iron ever made.
So that the freight from these two companies
alone makes quite q showing. Add to this
the fact that Bangor is good market for
fruit, grain, and other farm produce, and is
surrounded by rich farming country, and
we have much in her favor, beside the forci-
BILE argument of shorter distance 20 build
and keep in repair.
We know that those who favor the Hart
ford route, claim the furnace to be only q
temporary institution. 1t is an old saying
that Figures DO not lie," and if the following
items tell anything, it is that though the
Bangor furnace may not prove immutabe,
still it will continue the center of that lively
town for many years to come.
Though the furnace company has been
making improvements and adding to their
conveniences constantly since their location
there, yet, during the past six months they
have surpassed all former efforts in this di-
rection. They have just built coal-house
capable of holding 100000 bu., water-tank
having capacity of 700 bbls., lime-house
16x56 feet in extent, and procured new
crusher at an expense of $500; have en-
larged their barn to 40x72 feet, while four
teen kilns are in process of erection through
out the surrounding country. There is now
on hand 1876 tons of ore and 100000 bu. of
coal, 1880 cords of wood are prepared for
drawing, and 1000 cords are already in the
yard.

Election Notes.

Great enquiry made at the polls last Mon
day morning for democratic tickets. They
were scarcer than hens teeth.
That democratic caucus was q heavy af-
fair. We are informed that there were Just
three of the faithful present. Jennings who
was elected chairman, the editor of the
Twice-a-Week who acted as secretary, and
Cummings who did the voting.

WHOLE NO. l411:

The young man who had gathered up
lot of last years Republican tickets, showed
them too soon Word was sent to Us from
Lawton that he had them, in time to prevent
any one being fooled with them.
The Democratic ticket which was headed
peoples Democratic Ticket" was wrongly
named. 1t ought to have been "Three peoples
democratic ticket"
Denison Graine thought straight Repub-
lican ticket was 'good enough for a colored
man." Eh, Hi?
We heard two heretofore strong Green
hackers say, that hereafter they should vote
the Republican ticket.
Charley kept Hutchin' along, but could
not quite get in out of that double headed
Snow storm. He made a good run though.
Two years ago Milt. was elected School
Inspector as a Republican, and this year he
made an attempt in the same direction as a
Democrat, and after working hard all day,
got-secenty gotes.
One young man said last Monday, =" have
always been Democrat, but what is the use
of clinging to corpse? 1 am done" He
now votes the Republican ticket.
The Republicans of Paw Paw are the first
to recognize "Woman's Rights" in prac-
tical way. Mrs. Heckert and Miss Thomp-
son fairly distanced their competitors and
were triumphantly elected.
Ashbel carried too heavy weight to win
the race against William, who rode light and
drove a double team.
Straight tickets: Greenback 1877, Repub-
lican 102, Democrat tlcelce. Twelve of the
ancient rock-ribbed bourbons still survive in
Paw Paw.
We expect to hear the "Twice-a- Week p"
claim that we did it with our Z" little hatchet."
"Honors are easy" Six Republicans and
six Greenbackers drew the prizes.
"Wes." runs like thoroughbred, and so
does "Blly' for that matter.
1t was unfortunate for the Republicans
that election occurred on so fair a day, as
the country vote, which is strongly Republic
can, was very light the farmers being too
busy to leave their work. There were at
least hundred votes in town not polled.
The result shows that the Republican party
still has a good round majority on full
vote.
The so-called " Peoples Democrat Ticket"
was a curious mixture of politics. 1t bore
the names of three Democrats-just the
number present at the caucus-who all got
left long way behind, four Republicans
Mrs. Heckert and Mr.. Hinckley on the
Republican ticket and Mr.. Raleigh on the
Greenback ticket, were all who were elected
without being on two tickets.
The discrepancy in the vote between the
two ladies who were elected school inspectors
in this township, is owing to the fact that
Miss Thompson rode two horses.
We publish the most complete election re-
turns this week of any paper in the county,
