POLITICAL NOTES.

A third candidate for the Republican
nomination for the legislature is in the
field in Deering. 1t is said that the friends
of.Mr. Myron E. Moore will urge his can
didacy, and that Mr.. Moore has con-
sented to allow the use of his name.
The Democrats will hold their ward
caucuses this evening to chose delegates
to the district convention. Deering
Democrats elected delegates last eve
ming. There does not seem to be alb
solute certainty as to who will be
selected for standard bearer of the
District Democracy. The field seems to
be tolerably clear for Mayor Ingraham SO
far as can be judged from the Portland
Democracy. York county does not seem
to be united on anyone, although George
F. Clifford of Cornish and War Eagle
Goldthwaite of Biddeford, have been
mentioned" 1t is by no means certain
that Mayor Ingraham wants the nomin-
alton. He undoubtedly recognizes that
his majority in the city last spring was
an accident not likely to be repeated,
especially in national election cam
paign; and may be doubtful about the
wisdom of putting himself in the way of
sure defeat this fall. 1t is true that the
Hon. NJ. P. Frank has pictured the path
to success as rosy; but predictions from
that source are unpleasantly suggestive
of the fable of the fox that lost his tail
in the trap and then tried to induce the
other foxes to have their tails taken off
in order that they might be in style. 1t
is doubtful whether Mr.. Frank letter
has greatly comforted Mayor Ingraham.
But why should the Democrats wish to
go farther than the brilliant William II.
Clifford for candidate?

ANOTHER NIAGARA BRIDGE.
The Canadian Pacific to Build One in
Order to Reach New York.

The long-talked-of scheme of the Cana
dian Pacific for securing direct connec-
ton with New York seems now about to
be realized. From information gathered
it appears that line is to be constructed
from Woodstock to Niagara Falls. Ar
rangements are nearing completion for
the obtaining of a right of way over one
of the American railways from Suspen-
sion Bridge to New York and other East
ern points. For some time past tenders
for the construction of a bridge over the
Niagara chasm have been in the hands of
the management of the great Canadian
railroad, and one of them was virtually
accepted. SIS 5s4gg
The bridge will be constructed between
the present cantileyer and the new Sus-
pension Bridge, and will consist of a
single arched steel span, resting on butt
tress on each bank, some 1900 feet
apart. Vice President Shaughnessyi of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, Mr.. Thomas
TAFT, superintendent of the Ontario Di-
vision, and Senator George Fields were
at Niagara the first part of the week, en-
gagged in consultation over the supposed
important venture. When this line is es
tablished, the Canadian Pacific railroad,
which controls the electric road on the
Canadian side, will have the finest view
of the falls. All its trains will no doubt
be run along the bank of the river, up
past the fall and rapids and down below.
giving most wonderful view of the
whole of Niagara great scenery. 1t is
the great coup in modern railroad
schemes in and about Niagara Falls, and
shows that the Canadian Pacific railroad
will cater for the great majority of the
Worlds Fair traffic business.

Opera at the Pavilion Theatre.

Manager McCallum has secured the
opera company that has been playing at
the Casino, Long Island, and all next
week at the matinees at his theatre they
will appear in opera. This will give Mr..
McCallum's Home Company chance to
have little more time for recreation. In
the evening, Mr.. McCallum's company
will appear in drama and specialties as
usual. 1t is hoped that business will be
so good next week that enough will be
received to offset the increase in expense

coming tired of what she doubtless thought a

into Benatres' Office and found him in the act

Benatres was scolded severely. He vas told

that he was poor earth worm in love with

ONE CENT Observation-Disclosures
General Wanamakcr in his annual re-
port has the following to say on the
question of postage:
One-cent letter postage to every place
in the world is what the nations are
coming to- The present letter rate
pays actually double the cost and by this
overpay serves as Il protective rate to the De
partmeut to cover the undcrpay from doing an
express husincSs for periodicals and books
and carrying advertising sheets at cent per
pound. that in point of fact are nothing more
than business circulars that load the mails
enormously All such mail is not only car
red at a loss of six cents pound, but it inter-
fercs materially with the business of the eX-
press and railway companies. which are prop
crlv carriers of the heavy packages and
freight Something new to take the place of
fractional currency for the remittance ofsmall
sums is very desirable. He urges the issue Of

the same, the republicans still assert
that theirs is the great national party OF

the effect of the same cause in other

do so until the end thereof, it is infinite

indulgence in them should be en-

If THE present high rate at which
pensions are being increased be kept up
much longer, the deficit in the Treas
urv. which has already become condi-
ton, and not theory, will speedily de-
velop into national bankruptcy, in spite
of the immense revenue that is derived
from the tariff tax on the necessaiies OF
life of seventy million people. 1t Is es'
timated by conservative men that the
expenditures on pension account during
the next fiscal year, including the def
cit of the one already provided for, will
exceed the enormous amount OF two
hundred i.llion dollars. Such an i'm
mcnse sum, twenty eight years after the
close of the war, is grotcsquely absurd
1t cannot be that the claims OF ali OF
those among whom it is distributed are
lust or even legal, and a search should
be made at once for those that are
fraudulent, so that the payment thereof
NAV be stopped.

y ,ssible, worse than his first, and the
par devoted to the tariff even rldicu-
lous. and reads more like an emanailon
f;om disappointed boy than from the
chef Of nation of nearly seventy
million people. He still insists that the
HIGH tariff is right, aud that to it all
the prosperity of the country IS Cue,
and recommends that the republican
Senate do nothing to change it, leaving
that work for the democratic Congress.
He reasserts the exploded idea that
torif increases wages, and that without
if America can not compete with for
eion nations. though he must know that
American manufacturers can and do
compete with foreign nations i'll most OF
the markets of the world, and sell their
Goods in them at cheaper rates than
they sell them at home. He compil-
ments all the members Of his cabinet
upon the alleged wise and efficient man
agement oftheir respective departments
and recommends increased ship subsi-
dies. He also recommends that the
District of Columbia commissioners be
given discretionary power for restrain
ing the liquor traffic in Washington
and advises enlarged appropriations tor
the civil service commission, whose re-
concentrations he has persistently
secuted. He is loud in his praises OF
pensions for those who put down the
'.rcbellion,9 and reiterates his trite ar
cuments in favor of eeVote and a
fair count, and against the measures
which some of the southern States have
been forced to adopt for restricting sui
frage in order TO preserve themselves

try can well afford to be thankful that
the man who wrote the message will
never write another one.
