To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of Port
land.
conference.-the undersigned citizens of Port
land, located on Back Cove and engaged in manu-
featuring, respectfully represent TO your honorable
board that your action the petition on the Port
land & Rochester, now lpending, for connection
westerly with the Union Station, means success
or failure to US in our different calings.
The granting OF this petition, which we trust
will be speedily done, means success, because it
will increase and cheaper cur facilities for doing
business, and thereby enable us to enlarge our
plant, increase our business and give employment
TO larger number Of men.
We b can !. also offer superior inducements
to manufacturers out of our city TO come here and
locate and avail themselves of the surplus power
which we have above the requirements Of our
business, and unless its manufacturing industries
are increased, this city cannot hope for any
marked increas OF prosperity No greater
calamity could befall the manufacturing industries
OF Portland than to have the Portland and Roch-
ester railroad abandon its location on Back Cove
and enter the Union Station via the Portland &
0gdensburg railroad from Cumberland Mills,
which change, Is being advocated by some Of the
citizens of Portland.

"Hope Llveth Ever. +"

Daniel Newland, of Long Island. Me-, for twen-
ty-one years suffered from the effects of an inju-
ny. AT that time he was working at his trade
that of carpenter, In Portland. He and two other
workmen fell from a scaifold, distance of 40
feet. They all received bad injuries, but MFR.
Newland the worst of all. He FELL so as to injure
his back so badly that he was unable to do any
work for five years. and at times ever since he has
been obliged to lay off from one to four months.
His sufferings during all these years have been
intense. Mr.. Newland never gave up. He al
ways said he would yet be strong, well man, and
he was right. -Four months ago he applied to
Drs. Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physl
clans at the United States Hotel. The doctors
gave him thorough magnetic treatments for thirty
days. AT the end OF that time, Mr.. Newland
found himself as well man as ever before in his
life. Since then he has not missed one days work
and says at last he found the cure he knew he
would. Drs. Smith and McMullen are perma-
nently located at the United States Hotel. They
treat every form of chronic disease. Consulta-
ton free from a. M TO p. m.

them, contain a considerable percentage OF chemi-

introduced for the purpose of making the mixture

This Is the closing week OF the Fiji
tieth Congress, and it will be remem.
bered as National Legislature that
has done less for the country than any
that have preceded 1t. This, however,
was nothing more than was to be ex-
pected, as the Democratic policy
always has been TO rule or ruin, and
as they were checked in the former hy
a Republican Senate, the House has
attempted the latter by doing nothing.
The present Congress has not passed
q single important bill, except that for
the admission of new States, and the
country has been put to an expense of
many thousands of dollars In carrying
out the Democratic ideas OF economy,
by doing nothing. There is consider
able legislation that should have been
attended TO long ago, and 1t may be.
come the duty of President Harrison
TO call an extra session of Congress
shortly after his Inauguration. The
tar Il needs revision and the internal
revenue laws should be repealed.
Some measures should also he adopted
for the protection of our coasts In the
event OF war with foreign nation,
and in TACT there are host of things
that will have 10 be attended to by the
Congress.

The case of l5.year-old boy who
was arraigned before Judge Bal yes.
terday morning on charge of drunk.
enness, is another illustration of the
urgent need Of a House OF Refuge
where all such boys can be taken care
of and compelled TO learn u trade.
This boy was found by police officer
lying in small uniTequentcd street
on Sunday night helplessly drunk.
Had it not been for the vigilance of the
officer the probabilities are that the
boy would have been a corpse before
morning. There is no donbt but he,
as young as he is, is already addicted
10 the use OF liquor, and as ne is too
old to be admitted to the Ferris Re.
form School, the question arises what
shall be done with himI II will not
do him any good, beyond keeping him
from liquor for time, 10 send him to
Jail for month or two, and 1t is a
question even if this was done If he
would not be more hardened OF the
end OF his Term than when it com.
menced. Such cases are continually
coming before Judge Bah ana until
we have a House OF Refuge it is 9
very difficult matter to dispose OIL
them.

During the four years that the
Democrats have had control OF the
Government the entire country has
been virtually governed by the South
In tho Congress of 1888 to 1885 the
Democrats had a majority in the
House Of II, and the entire Demo.
cratic part of the House was composed
OF 10S Southern, 40 Western and Al
Eastern members. The next Congress
has los Southern, AZ Western and
~ Eastern Democratic members.
The present House has on the
Democratic side 1903 Southern,
81 Western and SO Eastern members,
giving that party majority OF II.
The South has always been a unit in
the House, and at the present session
elected Southern man speaker, who
placed every one OF the important
committees in the control OF Southern
men. Among these was the Ways
and Means Committee, Which will 60
down to posterity as the Ozark Ian
tern Committee. This committee.
governed by Southern agriculturists,
endeavored at the bidding OF Presi.
dent Cleveland TO destroy the great
industries of the North by forcing
upon the country bill that would
have closed half the manufactures in
the country In less than 60 days after
It was passed. The committee was
admirably chosen for this purpose, but
last November the vox populi said in
unmistakable tones, thus far shalt thou
come, but no further. The Judiciary
Committee was composed in a similar
manner, and consisted of six Southern
Democrats, two from the East and one
from the West. The Foreign Affairs,
the River and Hsrbor Appropriation,
the Committee on Poslofflces and Post
Roads, and In TACT all the committees
were composed In about the same pro.
portion, placing Northern men con
tinually in the minority. As the com.
mittees prepare and shape legislation,
II Is easy TO see that the solid South,
holding all the committees in its grasp,
has ruled the country, and as far as it
was in its power so TO do doei out to
the North just what legislation it in.
tended ii TO have, and no more. The
same was the case during the admin
istIation of James Buchanan, and the
result was rebellion that 1t took four
years to subdue. In the next House
the Republicans will have at least
seven majority, and the composition
of the committees will be greatly
changed.
