road are too intelligent to shut their ewes
10 them. At the same time the
maine central people are bound to look ont
primarily for the interests of their own
.oad' ana they are not bound to refrain from
ooing what is otherwise proper and legiti-
mate simply because it may have an lnjuri-
GUS effect upon Bangors railroad. A rail-
road has no more rights, and is entitled to no
more consideration because it is owned by
city or town instead Of individuals. Such
railroad must not expect to be protected
from competition or guarded by the State
against assault to a greater extent than rail-
roads otherwise owned. The Bangor people
must expect that the Maine Central will
seek to distribute as much of the Canadian
Pacihe's freight as possible, without regard
to the interest of the Bangor s. Piscataouis
road and they have no valid reason for
finding fault If it does so. If the Ca
madam Pacific unlawfully discriminates in
It's favor, or gives it an unfair advantage,
the people of Bangor are quite right in in.
slsting that this shall cease. But they must
not expect their railroad to be specially pro-
tected by the State nor must they hope to
rally the whole State to the punishment of
the Maine Central as long as it does not ex-
coed the bounds of legitimate competition,
even If the Bangor & Piscataquis is hurt.

Governor P. W. Mckinney of Virginia has

brandy. -
DR.. Alanus, of Berlin, leader of the band

chalky degeneration of the arteries of ac-
count of the too great preponderance of

The report of the railroad commissioners
is on the whole gratifying. Financially the
year has been with the roads very success
full one. The record is marred somewhat by
the Kingman disaster, which the commits
sioners find was due to carelessness, but
with that exception it is one to be proud Of.
The action Of the commissioners with regard
to heating apparatus was not probably so
radical as they were inclined to take, and
would have taken if the regulations of
neighboring States had not prevented.
Doubtless none of the apparatus now al
lowed is so deadly as the car stove, but some
of it, we imagine, is not quite compatible
with the greatest safety. AS soon as circum-
stances will permit, the commissioners will
no doubt still further restrict the railroads
in the selection of heating apparatus.

Senator Germans deliverance on the
Australian ballot was made before gather.
ing Of country editors with the understand
ing that 1t was to be kept secret. This ex.
plains its frankness. Had he supposed he
was addressing the public he would
have dwelt upon the great ex.
pense the printing of the ballots would
devolve upon the State and the cree
tion of booths upon the towns and become
quite melancholy over the burdens of the
poor taxpayers. He would, too, have dwelt
upon the danger of the uneducated but
worthy voters being DISTINGUISHED. But
supposing that his communication was to be
entirely confidential he blurted out his real
objection which was that it would beat the
Democracy, by preventing the use of influ-
ence. Everybody knows what politicians of
the German stamp mean by ;nfuence-it's
the current coin Of the realm. Inability to
use that kind of influence would undoubted-
y-he a killing blow to such as he. and it is
not strange that he was greatly frightened
by the prospect.

In an interview with Boston Herald the
Hon. Orville ID. Baker of Augusta. referring
to the Bangor & Plscataquis railroad, says:
A boaru of directors which in the same breath
is forced to give equal considerations to what will
please the political workers of large city as well
as TO what will best promote the business inter-
ests OF railroad, is hopeless Anomaly from the
start.
Mr. Baker is quite right. But his doe
trine is no more applicable to railroads, than
to a great many other concerns. For in
stance the manager of post Office who
is forcedIln selecting his subordinates to give
equal consideration to what will please the
political workers of large city, as we'll as
to what will best promote the interest Of the
people who want their letters prompt
ly and correctly delivered is equally an
anomaly. Mr.. Baker didn't intend probably
to preach civil service reform sermon but
he did nevertheless.

According to the Bangor correspondent of
the Lewiston journal the people of Bangor
are all up In arms on account of discrimin-
alton the Canadian Pacific road is alleged 10
be making against the Bangor G. Piscataquis,
a road in which Bangor has peculiar inter-
est, inasmuch as it is, in its corporate ca
pacity, the chief owner of the property.
Under its charter the Canadian Pacific is
bound to deliver freight to all connecting
railroads pro rata. This, the Bangorians
contend, 1t does not do, but on the contrary
delivers freight to the Maine Central at
Mattawamkeagon more favorable terms than
to the Bangor 81 Piscataquis at Greenyille.
OF course if it be true that the Canadian
Pacific is not properly observing its obliga-
ton to the State, the Bangorians will not be
to blame if they take measures to compel it
to do what it agreed to. But according
to the Lewiston Journals correspondent,
the people Of Bangor are not content to pro-
caed against the Canadian Pacific, but a
strong feeling has been developed against
the Maine Central, which is accused of in
citing the Canadian Pacific TO the violation
OF its charter in order to injure Bangor's
railroad, the Bangor g. Piscataquis. Threats
are made that strong movement looking
to the enactment Of law making passenger
rates over all roads in this State, regardless
of distances, three cents per mile, will be
begun il the Maine Central does not abandon
its scheme of wrecking the Bangor G. Piscat-
aquis. Whether this correspondent correct
ly represents the feelings of the people of
Bangor we cannot say, but assuming that he
does II seems to US that they are getting un-
necessarily excited.
That the Maine Central railroad has de-
liberately set to work to wreck railroad,
or to force its owners to sell it to them on
its terms-especially a railroad owned by
six or seven thousand voters, as this one is
is highly improbable. The Maine Central
road derives all its powers and privileges
from the people of Maine, and ordinary COM
mon sense, if nothing else, would restrain
its owners and managers from affronting the
public sense of justice and right. 1t could
not afford to do 1t, even If it could compel
the Bangor people to make 1t present of
their Piscataquis road The West has FUR

The mission of the Board of Health will moi
be completed while such ignorance concern
ing contagious diseases prevails as has Just
been shown at Leeds. For several years
now the towns of this State have been
deluged with tracts from the. Board of Health,
and with newspapers calling attention to the
contagiousDess # diphtheria and setting
forth the great danger of public funerals
in cases of death from this disease. The
literature on the subject has been so abun-
dant and so widely disseminated that it
would seem impossible that person of or
binary intelligence could be found in this
State who did not know that it was extreme
ly hazardous to expose the body of person
who had died of diphtheria. But it seems
that in town no more remote than Leeds,
that not only was the body of a person who
had died of that disease exposed, but
also that living person was deliberately
clothed in the garments it had worn before
death and while suffering from the disease /:
Such ignorance, for it is inconceivable that
either of these acts could have been COM
mitted if there had been the faintest suspi-
cion of the danger involved, in Incompetent
sible.
