confident Of the result that followed Mon.
days work, the ms jority 10 far above the
expectation Of sill. From the time the
bill was enacted until judgment was
passed upon it at the polls, every argu.
ment that the opposition could devise
was utilized to defeat it; and in many in.
stances in order to misleAd the uninformed
the wire-puilers did not hesitate to 90
outside the truth. In addition to the
opposition at home the last hours Of the
campaign revealed the fact that foreign
enemy had appeared on the field. The
Canadian Pacific, knowing that the Shore
Li1e will be a competitor not to be under

Provinces, undertook by an anonymou.

American agents.
Notwithstanding the bugbesrs that have
been put in the way Of the proposition it hat
been nobiy sustained, and the building Of
the Shore Line will be the result.

NEW RAILROADS IN MAINE
Bangor ard Aroostook.
I Bangor Wing. |


A conference meeting Of some Of our
citizens with those interested in the Ban
gor and Aroostook Railroad was held Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose on the part
Of the former Of becoming acquainted with
the plans and objects Of the company and
the outlook for the project which is meet
ing with so much favor. President A. A
Burleigh, Vice President c. +. Bragg and
General Manager F. W. Cram were pres
ent and detailed the purposes Of the COM
pany the plans, outlook, ETC., aud state
ments regarding The probable value Of the
road, to the other gentlemen in attendance,
and invited any questions that might occur
to their auditors.
They told Of the original idea Of the
ente rprise, which was to secure and hold
for Bangor the Aroostook trade. The
company has secured the ne cessary charter
and rights for building under the general
law, and its road will be exempt from taxa
ton for term Of twenty years. Any other
line is prohibited from building within If
teen miles Of each side of the road, which
debars any competition.
Aroostook county has voted 500, 900 in
aid Of the enterprise. In order to insure
the building Of the road and that its bonded
indebte dness may be as small IS possible
and represent as nearly IS possible the
actual cost Of the road. is is desired to raise
$500 600 additional in preferred stock. 1t
is the opportunity for Bangor to take hold
and say how much she will aid by her sub.
scrptions to the preferred stock and secure
the advantages of the road being held and
operated in the interests of Bangor.
II was explained that it WAS the intention
of the company as soon as it has secured
sufficient subscriptions to warrant negotia-
ting for the construction Of the road, to
open negotiations for the purchase or lease
of the Bangor and Piscstsquis Railroad.
Mr.. Cram explained how the traffic of
Arc o,took county had grown and said that
10 his experience Of twenty years he had
never known the time when the traffic had
not outgeown the railroad facilities, rs fast
- they came about. In his belief within
three years from the time the road was
built it would pay handsome interest upon
the entire cost of the road.
The people of the city will doubtless take
hold Of the enterprise with enthusiasm and
solid cash. and immediate steps will be
taken with such an end in view.

Mo. Secretary Blaine

No truer or more discriminating words
OF praise have ever been uttered than the
following from the columns of the
Boston Evening Transcript of Saturday
considered-the Transcript being thor
oughly independent although loyalty
Republican--the praise which is con-
tanned in the extract given becomes
far more significant. "Mr. Blaine says
the Transcript, sis not an ola man, but
he Is man who has done 4 vast amount
of work. who has carried great load OF
responsibility, ardent iudefatigable,
brilliant. Perhaps he has diminished
his stock of energy, and very likely, il
it is possible for a quick spirit" like his
to enjoy rest, a long vacation from the
cares of office may bring back to him
his physical yigor. TIE story that
his mind has become impaired is,
We have no doubt, piece OF
cruel sensationalism. Mr.. Blaine:
mind is not of the same quality
as those of the correspondents who, al
their wits ends to make his indispositior
the subject of sensation, have depicted
him almost mental wreck. 1t is tru.
that Mr.. Blaine has been under a great
strain for a year or more past. not Who'll
