Aroostook' Development.

WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY OF If.
Commenting on an item IN this paper the
Aroostook Republican says: 1--WE agree with
the Journal that proper development of the
immense resources of this section would soon
make cities Of our thriving villages, and no in
>lrumentalily is so effective in making known
the capabilities of a county as the local press.
With The necessary means Of transportation
and the communication with the "outside
world" ArOo>tOUk would soon become ii
popuIOus and pros porous section OF country.
Nature has made lib, raj endoNmcnt>, and an
that Is needed Is capital and people. The in-
crease IN business over the y. Il. Railway. i,
attracting wide altcnlion. Many branches of
industry are now unprOductiNe by reason of
distance and consequent freight rates. and
therefore the hitherto profitable lines of bu~i-
ness are beng oVGrWorkCd. We are informed
/ for example, that the legitimate demand for
| potato starch i, only about 1000 tons per an
mum. The amount manufactured this year in
| Aroostook alone, Will amply suffice for the use
OF the whole country. Starch factories are be-
| ing multiplied beyond The needs of business
and cannot in the future be source of profit
| to the manufacturer or producer of the raw
| material. ONerproduction Of the potato works
| almost as much injury TO our people AS the po-
! tato rot. Give lis direct railroad facilities and
| our people could and would turu the? atten.
| tion to other branches of business than the
very few W hich circumstance have forced up
ON them. I'm the work OF making known the
resources and needs of this section, we expect
| the cooperation of the press of The Stale. fol
| Is not ArDostook part of our great State. in
| whose development and prosperity all should
| be interested? In this connection, we give al
extract from the Mining and Industrial Jour
I nal.
Energy and capital are the two factors neces
snry to develop Arooslook's natural wealth
aHd we are well satisfied that, when some OF
the present CONNIE ciai difficulties have beer
adjusted, if the press and people of the border
county properly keep the matter before th,

time. But let friends always remembe
that Fortune seldom seeks proteges-she mus

Mr.. Blalne's Augusta Speech.
JUDGE TOURGEE'S VIEWS OF THIS IMPORTAN


UTTERANCE.
Beyond all question, Mr. Blaine's Augusta
speech is the most remarkable instance of an
during The campaign, admirable as they were,
and unmatched for sagacity and tact bv the
utlerances of any previous candidate for the
presidency, are trivial and insignificant In com
pariSon with this remarkable address.
1t Institutes the platform on which his party
will fight, not merely for the next four years
but perhaps for the better part of generation.
1t formulates the one great question which must
be decided before lesser issues of administrative
detail can become again the controlling ques-
tlons of American politics. The experiment of
colored suffrage in the South failed before the
Ku-Klux Kan appeared. The first Southern
State government in which the colored man " as
political factor, or in the administration which
he was in any manner represented, was organ
lied about the LIST of july 1868. The first egis-
latures controlled or affected by republican votes
were held during the winter of 1869. The
Ku-KluX Klan had already extended its 'Invis-
lble Empire and was a thoroughly compacted
force in at least five of the States of the South
before Il solitary State government was organ
lied under the reconstruction laws. During the
summer OF 1868, it became active force in at
least two more of these States and before a sim
gle law had been passed by any legislature sub
jec to such influences.
The Southern whites had it in their power to
have led the colored people whithersoever they
would by simply according to them cheerfuIIy
the rights of citizenship instead of struggling
with might and main to prevent their enjoy yment
of those rights accorded by National authority.
The fact that the blacks at the South constitute
party by themselves in the main, results nat
urally from the antecedent fact that the domi-
nant class Of the whites were insuperably
opposed to the colored mans possessing any
political right and were in favor OF granting him
only the debased and limited civic existence
which was sought to be imposed upon him by
the "Back Codes" adopted in 1866 by the
provisional governments Of the South. fudge

There is no question but the pilots here will
do their level best to prevent the passage of
Dingley's pilotage bill, and they will be aided
by men and means from all sections, where
compulsory piotuge is enforced. We think,
however, that Congress understands the pilot
age subject pretty thoroughly. and is in a better
condition to discuss it than ever, and if we un-
derstand its temper rightly it will take some
measures TO abolish compulsory pilotage in this
country. We believe that if it were, we should
have better service, and in the long run the
pilots would be better off. THE Nautical Ga

For marking and indicating the plane
OF the stone, red ocher plant was used in
a variety of ways, well studied out by
Mr.. Petrle. Rock excavation, both for
saving the stone and for the cres ton of
vaults and chambers, was altogether an
affair OF drilling. Granite powders
were utilized IN the pyramids, but the
best stones were taken from quarries.
The method of handling these immense
masses is not known. Mr.. Petrie con-
cludes with a sensible remark upon the
oft alleged inhumanity of the pyramid
and temple builders. To require man
every six years to serve upon the public
works, during the season when he could
do nothing else, would certainly not be
q great hardship. Science, from Jour7a.
