The New York Sun of the 18th con-
tained a double-leaded leader reciting
that the road, property and franchises of
the International railway of Maine have
been sold to the Canadian Pacific COM
pany, which is now building the most I'M
portant portion of its entire line on and
across United States territory without the
permission and almost without the knowl
edge of our congress. The Sun says
Maine exceeded her state rights when she
authorized one of her railroad corpora
lions to sell its property and franchises to
a foreign corporation, to be used and en-
jcyed within her boundaries. It is the
verlest exaggeration af lawlessness on the
part of the Maine government and the
Canadian Pacific railroad company. We
call upon our government to summarily
suppress this invasion of United States
territory by the Canadian Pacific railway
company.
