Will be a SpIendidIy Paying Properly.
2 Boston Herald.)

Few railroads projected in these later
days have better promise of making the
hearts of their stockholders glad than the
Bangor & Aroostook. A private letter
to friends in this city from F. E. Rogers,
the contractor of the extension that Will
connect Caribou with the main system,
and bearing the date of Brownville, says
that Caribou was reached on the 18th.
1t is further stated that immense guam
titles of freight are awaiting shipment at
Fort Fairfield, Presque Isle and Caribou,
all of which will be sent over the road
this week. Trains will have to be run
night and day to relieve the congestion.
There are stored at the three points men-
toned above more than 800, 900 bushels Of
potatoes, and when these are disposed of,
other consignments equally as large will
be made. The future of this road is in
deed promising, and there is no reason
why it should not be splendidly paying
property.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Hon. Hall c. BurIeigh.
(Wateryille Sentinel. }

Since an article few weeks ago, in re-
lation to the State assessorship, the press
has very generally spoken in favor of the
reelection of Hon. Hall G. Burleigh. Mr..
Burleigh has not only had the experience
to make him valuable member of the
board but he has made a study of the sub
iect of taxation. He also possesses the
energy and push and courage that State
assessor should possess to produce the best
result He was appointed to fill vaca H.
cy in the board and has not yet served
the full term of six nor even four years
terms for which two members of the
board are elected 1t may well be doubted
if another man so well fitted to render the
people of the State the best possible ser
vice. as State assessor can be found. 1t
would do Mr.. Burleigh an injustice and
the people a wrong not to retain his ser
vice for the full term under the law.

Bangor and Aroostook Railroad.
(Aroostook Republican,


The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad has

the people Of Upper Aroostook have an
outlet for their products wholly over
American SOIL There is no disposition
to decry the Canadian Pacific Railway.
1t has been of inestimable advantage to
Aroostook county, and the development of
the towns reached by it, has been mar
vel to the rest of the State But it is ma
tllral that the citizens of Aroostook coun-
ty should desire more direct communica-
ton with Bangor and westward, and
should also desire a, road over their own
soil.
What the influence of the new road will
be on the progress and development of
the county remains to be seen, but we
may confidently anticipate such an era of
prosperity and development as no section
of New England and possibly no section
of our country has ever enjoyed. Those
of us who know and appreciate the mar
velous resources, many of them undevel-
oped, of this great county, will not be
surprised to see it's increase of population

History Repeats Itself,

Richmond, Und) Palladium: Just
fifty years ago a condition existed in
this country very similar to that now
existing and from a cause very much
like that which has produced the pres.
ent stagnatien of business. The com.
promise tariff bill of 1888 had been en-.
acted by which all tariff duties were to
be gradually reduced to horizontal
rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem, and this
had produced the depression in every
branch of business then prevailing.
Under these circumstances Daniel Web.
ster arose in the Senate and spoke, as
any Senator might well speak to day
and describe the condition of the coun.
try as it now exists. Mr.. Webster said !:
"Mr. President, in the midst of ample
means of National and individual hap
piness we have unexpectedly fallen into
severe distress. Our course has been
suddenly arrested. The general pulse
of life stands still, and the activity and
industry of the country feel a pause. A
vastly extended and benefcent com.
merce is checked, manufactures sus.
pended with incalculable injury to those
concerned in them, and the labors of
agriculture threatened with the loss of
their usual reward. Our resources are,
nevertheless, at the same time abund.
ant, and all external circumstances
highly favorable and advantageous, such
as fairly promised us not only contin.
uance OF that degree of prosperity
which we have actually enjoyed, but its
rapid advancement also to still higher
stages. The condition of the country is
indeed singular. 1t is like that of
strong man chained. In full health,
with strength unabated and all its fac.
ulties unimpaired, it is yet incapable of
performing its accustomed action. Fet-
ters and manacles are on all it's limbs"
