The recent practical consolidation Of the
Eastern, Maine Central and Boston and
Maine Railroads, under the management Of
the latter road, deserves more than . pass
ing notice. This combination now controls
Q through line from Boston to Portland,
passing through the large cities Of Lynn,
Salem, Newburyport. Portsmouth, Saco and
Biddeford, and through line from Boston
TO Portland BY way of Lawrence, Andover.

ford. with its many branches, and its White
Mountain division. and in this State the
Maine Central traverses the entire length Of
the State, from Portland to the State line.
and by its ramifcatioDs, runs into and
through eleven of the sixteen counties.
The citizens Of Name are therefore largely
and deeply interested in whatever pertains
to the welfare Of the Maine Central Bail
rosd, for not only is the great business Of
the State transacted over its lines, but ten
million dollars Of its bonds and one. half Of
its stock are held and owned by our Saw.
ings Banks and citizens.
The history of rsilrosding in thus country
has been the reverse Of what was naturally
expected. Great opposition originally
marked any effort 10 join or consolidate two
separate lines, fearing consolidation would
create grssping monopoliss, but experiences
shows that union Of lines. gives the great.
est benefit to the public. and proves moro
beneficial for the owners. The Baltimore
and Ohio, the Pennsylvania company, tn
New York Central, the Chicago and North
Western, the Chicago, St. Paul and Nil
wsukee. all vast consolidated lines, have
added by their combinations to the growth
and wealth Of the several sections Of thu
country through which they run, and have
given lower freight and passenger transport
alton rates.

The Springfield Republicans Wash
ington correspondent, says the Kennebce
Journal, asserts that Mr.. Blaine's private
secretary has been on the rolls of the State
Department ever since Mr. Blaine entered
III. Cabinet as Secretary of State, and that
since June last be has not been seen at the

pendent is to make it appear that for the
past three years Mr.. Blaine has had the ben
eft of the services of secretary paid by

that no government clerk or employe can be
absent from his desk day or part Of day
beyond the 80 days leave allowed by Law

Now that election is over the lnsepen-

land are not meeting with an enthusiastic re-
ception in the Democratic camp. The

'Candor compels US TO say that We have
an additional reason for insisting upon the
restoration of the Independent Republicans
or, more properly speaking, the Repubi-
cans who are not TO be depended upon-to
their former position and fellowship. 10 the
words Of Holy Scripture, they have long
been a rottenness in the bones of their own
party, and they have finally done their best
to produce its complete overthrow. II 10
not too much TO say that their presence In
the Democratic camp mas already sown the
seeds Of distrus, and distraction, If not Of
dissolution. in the great historical or
ganization.
