Col. Dow's Address to His Fellow
Citizens.

The Express OF last evening contained the
following:
To the Citizens of Portland:
Upon the subject of the removal Of the
capital to Portland. there Is, as you well
know, no difference of opinion among you.
1t Is not probable that a careful canvass of
our people would disclose a dozen among
them not heartily in favor Of the project or
who would not be willing to contribute their
full share 10 secure II.
For once then, at least, our city seems to
be thor0ushly united on matter Of great in
terest to itself; yet into this great and graft
flying unanimity there was precipitated, for
some reason best known TO those who origl-
mated the absurd. but still discouraging ru-
NOR, q canard to the effect that the delega-
tion to the legislature from this city was not
a unit on the subject, but that some OF them
were unfayorable TO a proposition which
was Of engrossing interest 10 their entire
constituency.
The story Of divided counsels. Of oppos!-
ti0n, OF luke-warmnesS, or of indifference,
on the part of any OF our city delegation, Is
made up Of whole cloth. without single
corroborating circumstance to excuse 1t. The
members Of the delegation from Portland. in
both branches, have been lab0ring for the
object earnestly and harmOniously, though
not noisily and indiscreetly. And they were
doing this before any steps had been taken
In this city In connection with the matter.
Every thoughtful man will admit that
the quiet method Of work adopted
was much more effective than |
they had sought notoriety through the news
papers by trumpeting what they had been
doing and were intending to do. Nor would
have felt 1t my duty to have broken silence
at this time, but for the assurance on
the part Of some Of the local committee that
1t was desirable so TO do because this report
was discouraging to many of our citizens and
interfering with the necessary work in this
city.
Suffice 1t then to say that am in position
to know, that Of Portland's representation
in both branches Of the legislature there IS
not one who has not done. Is not doing and
Is not willing to continue to do all that any
man can do to accomplish the desired object.
This Is what the citizens Of Portland desire
and have a right to expect.
And now let all our citizens bear in mind
that this is Portland's great opportunity.
There are many favorable indications. An
earnest and united effort on the part of all
our citizens will accomplish much. Now is
the time to make that effort. And no good
citizen ought TO neglectit.

AusTRIA's OPINION.
Stormy Times for France, but Hope
II Carnot Is Firm.

VIENNA, Jan. 2S.-The Political Cores
pondence, referring to Boulanger's victory,
says: I'm diplomatic circles here the cleo
tion is regarded as a sure symptom of COM
ing change in the system of government in
France. No immediate danger is feared as
regards international complications. 1t is
believed that internal dissensions will pre-
vent external entanglements."
The Newe Freie Presse says: ''If Presi-
dent Carnot, uniting the Republicans under
his banner, honestly appeals boldly and
openly to France, he can still bring the
country to reason. He must, while bravely
attacking Boulanger, suppress with a firm
hand riyalries in his own camp. Not the
Republic alone. but the existence Of France
Is at stake"
The Wiener Tagblatt says: "The return
OF France to the programme Of moderation Is
hardly possible. The moderate elements
will soon disappear from the scene. Wild
revolutionaries hold the field. The danger
OF war between France and Germany has
now become real"
The Deutsche ceiling predicts stormy
times IN France. and doubts whether the Re-
publicans have sufficient strength to success
fully resist B0ulanger.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 2S.-There seems to be lit
tie hope Of short session. Indeed, the in
dlcations point now to session longer even
than the last two legislatures. An expert
enced official who saw the number and char
acter of the new bills introduced to-day de-
clared his opinion that the session might
reach to April. 1t is now the beginning Of
the second month of the session, when the
new matters for consideration ought to be
about all in If the session is to be short; but
to-day there was a flood of new bills and Pc
titions, almost all Of them relating to import
ant subjects and many Of them having
within them the possibilities of long fights.
So far not one Of the prominent measures of

BERLIN, Jan. 2s.-Newspapers here of all

The North German Gazette says "It is
the most important event of recent times In
the domain Of foreign politics."
The Post sees in the result proof that
France is heartily sick of Republic, and
says: "a government that has received
such blow can no longer be regarded as a
serious government. The centenary year
Of 1899 will not be behind its predecessor in
Importance"
The National Zeitung says: "If Boulan-
ger should prove to be a serious pretender,
