The New York Sun calls the building
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad acr oss
Northern Maine, invasion, and claims that
the State has exceeded its rights in grant
ing that foreign corporation the authority
to do so, holding that only the Federal
government acting through the President
and congress can confer such authority
upon a foreign corporation. The Port
land Press replying to the Sun says that
it is late to advance this doctrine, and
that this theory carried out would abro-
gate the lease of the Atlantic and St,
Lawrence by the Grand Trunk made
many years ago, and would disastrously
effect many other roads in the country.
If the Suns doctrine is to be enforced 1t
should have been done before the roads
of the United States and Canada had be-
come SO interdependent upon each other,

"All Republicans, whether expressing

their side-that they can produce. TAX

The Reporter Enlarged.

Our readers will observe that the RE
PORTER appears this week, enlarged by
an addition of two and onc-fourth inches
to the length of columns, so that now
they are u inches instead of 2i; as be-
fore. BY this means we give our readers
space equal to more than three full
columns additional, and the issuing of ex-
Ira sheets so frequently, will, by this en-
largement, be avoided.
The REPORTER is now &c column
folio the length of columns q inches,
the largest paper printed in Somerset, and
as large as any weekly county paper
printed in Maine,
Our patrons will also observe that the
paper upon which the REPORTER is print
ed Is superior to that used for the past
few months, and trust they will never
again be imposed upon by poor material
1t is the purpose of the publishers to
use every reasonable endeavor to make
the REPORTER more and more acceptable
to its many patrons, as its readers in
crease from year to year. The past year
has been one of its most prosperous ones
and we purpose to make the paper worthy
of continued prosperity.
