Bar harbor-
Dear american:
To person who has been accustomed to
travel to Bar Harbor via Mt. Desert
Bridge, or to Hancock over the usual routes
Of travel, often through mud, or over frozen
ground, sat poor dying rate" it seems a
luxury TO get on board the train at Ellis
worth, and in thirty-fve minutes afterward
to find yourself at "Bar Harbor Ferry;" and
in about thirty-fve minutes more, after a
delightful sail in the beautiful little steamer
"Sebenoa," across one of the most magnif-
cent bodies of water in America, to find
yourself at the wharf in this village.
Always before, when travelling by train,
have been too much a stranger TO the sec
ton of country over which was passing, to
realize with any exactness the distance !
had travelled from any known point but be-
tween Ellsworth and Bar Harbor Ferry,
knowing every rod of the road, could tell
just how fast we were getting along, and
ever had before me, as something to be con.
stantly enjoyed, the rapid progress we were
making. On the train on Monday evening
last, Conductor Philbrook, model officer,
was in charge. On board the "Sebenoa, !"
Capt. Oliver, who is evidently the right
man in the right place. is in command. He
is recommended to me as q man entirely
"white."
On Tuesday morning was up very early,
too early indeed to feel altogether "bright,'
with the view of meeting the steamer
Frances" on her arrival here from Annapo-
lis. She was late and did not reach her
wharf till after six O'Clock. boarded her
in a quasi-official, but altogether friendly
way. and found in her master, Capt. Geo.
A. Hopkins. an old friend whom l well
knew at Milbridge years ago. Capt. II. in
formed me that BE- had had heavy gale
and very rough night. His vessel, which
had been in the trough Of the sea, had done
very much more rolling than was agreeable

In letter TO the Independent, Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale of Boston says:
The situation, as understand it, is this I:
From 1901 to 1861 the national admins
tration was generally in the hands of COM
pact Southern oligarchy which used the
machinery of administration for its own
purposes and greatly TO the injury of the
Nation.
From 1861 TO this time it has been in the
hands of the Northern States. In this period
have been made the greatest advances in
the national history, and for the first time
there has been certain effort to make the
government represent the principles on which
we all say it is founded.
Ii now seems possible for the solid
Southern oligarchy by a combination with
the voters Of the worst wards Of tine city of
New York, 10 regal the power they lost in
1861.
Many gentlemen whom ! highly respect,
ask me and u.hers Who have voted with the
Republican party :, assist this combination.
You ask me to- 10 not think shal very
much
L, must be remembered that the ection
of Democrat Preside. mems the
election Of Den atIc Congress Though
be we're an imme late sai:' rs believe it
is proposed that shall l. he could do
little 10 restrain the hunger OF such
throng. For. very fortunately, the Presi-
dent with us has but little power when he is
alone.
The election of a Republican President
means the election of Republican Congress.
Such Congress cannot do much harm !;
it may prevent good deal. am told that
the election of Democratic President is to
be a step in civil service reform. do not
see it. believe Mr.. Carlisle and the
Democratic convention are expected to
promise this to the Independents of the
North. SO remember that the forester, in
"Esop,' promised his daughter 10 the lion
if he would let him trim his claws. After
the claws were trimmed, the forester knocked
the lion in the head.
The objection urged to Mr.. Blaine. in
the journals edited By Englishmen.is that
his policy will be National or American.
With my views of the politics of the world
tins IS not a serious objection.
