Report Of the Boston q Maine rail
road for the past year shows an in
crease in the gross earning of about
100000, and a considerable gain in
the net earnings. Liberal OUTLAWS
have been made for double tracking
certain sections Of the road, putting
in sidings, building bridges and depots,
ballasting the road beds and adding
to the equipment and rolling stock.
The floating debt has been largely re-
duced. The corporation report shows
that the total transportation earnings
for the year were $16,076, 852 an in
crease of 1894, 100 over the proceeding
year; the operating expenses were

net income, So, 9O6, 1859; surplus of net
income over fixed charges, 50, O45,-

an increase of z, 233, 1919; tons of freight

penditures for improvements along
the line have been made and an excel

would not be as well served as it had
been, have not been realized. Never

OPINION OF 4 DEMOCRATIC CON
GRESHAM.

Webb, the Boston Journals admira-
BILE Washington correspondent, gives
the following as a statement of a dem
ocratic congressman whom he inter
viewed on the political situation:
"Grover Cleveland thinks that the
success of the democratic party is to
be attributed solely to his PERSONAL
ty. He makes a gigantic mistake. His
egotism is SO great that he is sincere
in his belief, and probably he will new
er perceive his error. But the fact is,
that the election was not deter
mined upon the personality of the
candidates. The democratic party
could have elected Fred Douglass as
easily as it did Grover Cleveland. The
desire for change was in the air.
Nothing would have prevented it. The
democratic party did not vote alone
for the democratic candidate Thous-
ands ofrepublicans in every state vot
ed for the democratic candidate, as
all republicans know.
"You need not put my personality
in the newspapers, but from the pres
ent outlook your people, the repub-
licans, could carry the elections two
years from now, no matter who your
candidates might be, as easily as we
did in November. That is my honest
conviction. The people who say the
republican party is dead and that it's
mission is ended, do not understand
the history of this republic, and do
not apprehend the strength of this re-
publican party, which is SO great in
it's defeat. You see none of the great
men in the republican party crushed
by the democratic victory. There is
ready acquiescence and submits
sion to the system under which they
are compelled to surrender the gov
eminent. They bear their plumes
aloft, however, as high as ever, and
are confident Of their future. This is
an honor to the republic"

the many claims of Portland to pre-

which her board of trade were always
pointing with pride-and that was about
all the Portland Board of Trade ever
did, in his opinion. The position OF
Cape Elizabeth so far had been that of a

were several other industries, among
them the electrical plant that might
come.

induced to manufaotvr. evidence.
