Mr.. Howard Owen, as is his wont, has en-
balmed in biography the members of the
Sixty-fourth Legislature-or rather so many
Of them, very large per cent, as were will
ing to send the necessary data. Indeed, per-
haps Mr.. Owens book of sketches might
more appropriately be styled the autobiog-
raphies of the members of the Legislature,
though Mr.. Owens pen has frequently no
doubt, put them into shape.
All the members of the Senate reported
upon their lives, SO we have biographies of
every member Of that body. There are
thirty-one members. Their ages range from
thirty-three, the youngest, to seventy, the
Oldest. All but two are natives of Maine,
and eight have always lived in the towns
where they now reside, which goes to show
that Maine men have staying power, though
the census reports might raise presumption
that her natives all FASTENED West
as soon as they were big enough. Only six
Of the total number received collegiate edu-
cation. sixteen, however. enjoyed the advan-
tages of an academical course. More than
half have already had legislative experience
The body is not open to the charge of being
made up exclusively, or in large part, of
lawyers. There are only seven in it,
while the merchants number nine. There
are only two farmers, and with them
tilling the soil is not an exclusive Oc
cupation. One of them not only farms, but
manufactures and buys and sells, while
the other teaches school part of the year.
Twenty-six of them are credited with being
particular about their religious creed, while

no choice among the creeds. The Congrega-
tionalists only lack three of majority of the
body, while the largest number credited to
any other denomination is but three-the
Baptists and Methodists having each that
number. As regards politics there is entire
unanimity. All are Republicans.
In the popular branch there are greater
numbers, and of course greater diversity of
religion, occupation. age land politics. 1t is
easy to guess who the oldest member, both in
years and term of service is. 1t is the mem

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers Of sutfocation
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep soundly
and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter defles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery Of
smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
5oyments. To purchase immunity from such a
rate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
Of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathseme and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
curing, safe, economical and never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie OF the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all
wrapped in one package, with treatise and direc.
tons, and solo by all druggists for $1.00.

ONE WAY TO SETTLE IT.
fairfield Journal

Now gentlemen the way to settle this dis
pute is for Bangor and Portland to each go
to work and see which one can raise the
most money to build a State House. If
Portland will make the State a present Of a
handsome State House at the West end we
will guarantee that the legislature will adopt
Mr.. Perry's suggestion and occupy it. One
thing is certain and that is the legislature
should waste no more money to build addi-
tions to the present Insane Hospital. 1t is
too large already

profits of less than one sixth Of one
per cent. per annum, and about
one sixth Of one per cent. of surplus,
while individual deposits and loans and dis
counts have nearly doubled. 1t may be in
teresting to know that the little State of
Rhode Island has banking capital double
that of Maine, while Massachusetts has
nearly ten times more. In 1878
the banks of Maine held United
States bonds to the value of $1O,-
$4,000, and in 1888 but $5,131, 900, or about
half the amount held in 1873. The losses
charged off last year uSS7) were SAL, 1854,
while this year they are but $24O, 431, whicn
is anite gain. Upon the whole the year
1888 has been good one for the banks, as
the net earnings on capital and surplus show
gain over 1887 of $40 of one per cent and
over 1886 of 1-5 of one per cent.
1t is pleasant to note that the losses for
1888 have been so light, as it shows general
business prosperity in the State. Comparing
the business Of Maine with that of other
States we have no reason to be ashamed As
matter of fact there is no better State in
the Union for prudent and conservative men
to do business in than Maine, and as a gen.
eral thing those who go West to seek their
fortunes find it SO, though they do not all
care to acknowledge it.
The most remarkable success which has
ever been achieved by any bank has been
achieved by the Chemical Bank of NewYork.
The par value of the stock is 500, while its
price on the market is 81, 400 per share. 1t has
capital stock of but $500, 600, the same as the
Merchants Bank of Portland, yet its surplus
is $780, 900, and undividedprofits seas, GIG. 20
its deposits $26962, 3l8.1O, a nd loans and dis
countsS1s, 1874 1872 26. 1t nets on its capital 176
per cent, or per cent on $4,000 per share.

The Roohester BRONSON.

In communication published elsewhere
the Hon. George p. Wescott, President of
the Portland & Rochester Railroad, has
something to say regarding the proposed ex-
tension Of that road round to the Union
Station. No doubt some benefits will accrue
to the city from the extension proposed. No
doubt If Back Cove is to become a hive
OF industry some facilities better than
which now exist will be needed to bring in
the materialto be worked up and carry out the
manufactured product. Admit all this and
still the question remains, cannot those facil-
tiles be secured at less sacrifice on the part
Of the city and with less detriment to the
park and less damage to the valuable piece
OF property on which the Aims House stands
than is threatened by the route proposedP
1t has been suggested that all the connection
needed could be secured by way of Wood
ford's. If this be so then certainly
this route should be selected in preference
70 the one laid out. But the railroad com
pany say it is impracticable. Why? The
distance is greater, to be sure, but only a
very few minutes would be required to get
round by this route. Certainly the increase
in distance can hardly be claimed to be a
fatal objection. >.
While we do not take the ground that the
company should not be allowed to locate its
road along the route proposed in any
event, we do contend that 1t should not be
permitted to do so until it has been clearly
shown that another route which will infiict
far less injury to public and private inter-
ests is impracticable. We are inclined to
think that the injury to the park will be
more than Mr.. Wescott supposes. 1t may not
be for some time to come, but eventually if
business develops on Back Cove as antici-
pated. great many trains will run by the
Park in the course Of the day, and the con-
sequent rumble and roar of the cars and the
footing of engine whistles can but very seri.
ously iniure the park as a pleasure ground.
