ought to be. Neither do we think from the
standpoint of public policy it is well for this
plan to go through easily. 1t ought to go so
hard as to divest 1t of all temptation to other
railroads which may find themselves in
somewhat hard Shedding. First mortgage
railroad bonds are among the most common
and most trustworthy securities in the mar
ket at the present day. The accumulations
of men of small means are very largely in
vested in them through the medium of the
savings banks and it would be a great calam-
ity to have public confidence in them dis
turbed. 1t cannot be denied that this seal
ing down of the Atchson first mortgage
bonds has a tendency in that direction, and
the more ready its acceptance the stronger
will that tendency be.

The New England Farmer, iu an alarmist
editorial on the failure of one of the Kansas
farm mortgage companies, declares that the
collapse will drag other companies of like
nature with it. and the savings banks of
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have
staring them In the face the problem Of how
to weather the threatened cyclone."
Whetherthe Farmer hes good reasons for in
ferring thatthe failure of one Kansas COM
pany means the failure of several more, we
do not know; but we do know that there Is
no reason whatever for any fears on account
Of the Maine savings banks. The legisla-
ture has never allowed our savings banks to
invest in this class of securities, In this re.
spect pursuing different policy from that
pursued in New Hampshire. So, If there be
problem, the savings banks Of Maine do
not have 1t to face.

The old rhyme which Hon. William Goold
quoted in his article ON Portland Pier the
other day was too pat and popular to go the
world over. as it did, without receiving many
alterations and additions. Mr.. Goold knows
1t thus:
From Saccarap TO Portland Pier,
I've naule1 boards Tor many year.
Since this hard work with much abuse
I'm sailed down for sailors use.
A Thomaston reader of the PRESS learned
1t in this form:
From Saccarap 10 Portland Pier
I've carried lumber for many a year:
And now, no longer fit for use,
I'm sailed down for sailors use.
And Portland citizen remembers that
these additional lines belong with it:
The sailors they my meat despise,
They pick my bones and d-n my eyes,
LOOK around the manmast and the pumps
IT'S there you'll find me In great CHUNKS,
II you don't believe my story true.
Look In the harness cask and you'll find my shoe.
The sailors were not allowed to monopo-
lie the ditty. A jolly butcher, who once
drove meat cart In the country about Port
land. was wont to greet his customers with
this refrain:
I've carted beef for many year
From Saccarap to Portland Pier.
ate the meat and picked the bones,
And threw the lard to Davy Jones.
But wherever the rhyme went, in the Arc
tics or under the equator, it always celebrat-
ed the fame of Saccarap and Portland Pier !;
and even in this day it is not unusual to find
men living thousands of miles from New
England to whom Saccarap is a synonym for
Maine,

Rev. Smith Baker told the delegates at the

leading men will be the ragged boys of to-
day and not the sons of the best families.
Therefore Mr.. Baker thinks 1t the best

Montpelier, VT, by attemptingto win five
dollars on bet that he could row over the
Pioneer dam in boat with his dog, and
come out without injury to himself, the dog
