THE CAPE ELIZABETH RAILROAD
To Run to the Two Lights Along the Shore
Road-WiH Have Total Length nj
Fifteen Miles,

The petition to the legislature that has
been circulated recently for a charter for
an electric road on Cape Elizabeth has now
about 600 signers. The proposed railroad
will run across Portland bridge, through
South Portland to thess.:ferry, thence round
through the settlement in the neighbor-
hood Of Fort Preble, and thence along the
"Shore road to the Two Lights" distance
of fifteen miles. No more delightful ride in
an electric car can be imagined than this.
The road will be operated winter and sum-

BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS.
Soft Light of 22s Frosted Electric Globes
illuminate Eastman Bros. & Bancrofts
Window Display.

SIT beats any show of the kind l ever
saw In Portland said one of tbs numerous
passers-by who stopped to admire Eastman
Bros. & Bancroft's six large windows Satur-
day evening. 1t was certainly novel and
beautiful method of illumination. Along
each side of the windows was a row OF
nineteen incandescent lights making
thirty-eight for each window and 2sS for
the entire six windows of the three stores.
Mr.. E. D. Eastman got the idea in New
York some time ago and and it has required
two weeks to put in the lights here. The
glasses are frosted, and of course trans
lucent and give delightfully."- soft glow.
They illuminate the entire street and
caused people to stop and look even on the
onrosite sidewalk.

The Tariff.

Compromise is not the word that
conveys theproper meaning ii the
democratic majority does what it is
invited to do with the tariff bill.
The term surrenGe. is the WORD to
be used, for it is a'complete, surren-
der of the great party which IS
backed by a popular majority OF
100000. The Chicago platform
of 1892 is entirely out Of the cues
ton. 1t would be much better II
the party did not have a platform
Its planks ARE broken now and who
will have to answer for all these
broken promises? Not the few
who had it in their power to make
good every promise made to the PEG
ple. but the democratic party vii
have every thing to shoulder. The
Wilson tariff bill which had, Tor IT.
object the fulfilment OF ,thos'
promises, has been modified to SUI
this section and amended to graf
ify that individual, until it has pass
ed entirely beyond recognition
Could the original purposes OF tn
bill still be retained. when there ar
400 amendments proposed, beside
important notifications in the III
terest of concihation and harmony
The passage of such bill in tn
place of the tariff reform promise
the people two years ago will be
national misfortune and a pal
ty humiliation.

A FACT.

1t is really and truly a fact that
work has begun on the Monterey
and. Staunton telephone. What
has been talked of so long and spec
'ulated upon for years is now aoouF
to be- realized. The project, as we
all know, has had its ups and.
downs" with more downs than n,
ups" and has received from all
sides encouragement and dlscour-
.agement, with more Of the latter
but, when completed it will be a
great wonder to the business men
of this county, having such con,
'vefiience within their grasp that
they did not take: advantage OF II
sooner. These who have opposed
it will no longer hold out any obJec
tions, and those who have, with
doubts and fears, placed their mon
.ey into it, will find. the investment
so much better than they expected
that they will look about for wider
fields of action, which wilma short
time, result in every neighdorhoot
in the county being connected with
each. other and with the county
seat, by this wonderful mode o:
communication.
This is by far the most impor
tant and useful step the people o
Highland have ever taken and sign
Aes more than is at present realize

The New York Sun says:

From 1885 to 1894, a period OIL
nine years, Mr. Croker has been the
acknowledged and undisputed lead
Ell of Tammany Hall; and his re-
cord as such has been marked by a
series of splendid successes, inclu-
ding the election of two Democrat
ic Presidential tickets to which New
York contributed largely, the trl-
umph Of the Democratic party in
the State by the election Of three
Democratic Governors, and an I'M
broken series of victories in the
municipality. Under his general
ship. Tammany Hall has overpow-
cred, at the legitimate forum Of the
polling places, every serious form
of Democratic opposition. All the
elective and appointive offices in
New York, exclusive Of a few judi
airy places, and all executive posi-
tions of influences, honor, and e
molumelt are filled by Democrats
This record is the fruition Of year!
Of ardent, arduous, and well-direct
ed effort in behalf Of the party or
ganization in this city, and, so ia
as the voting power Of Tamman'
Hall extends, is a complete reversal
of the conditions existing in 1872
when Mr. Croker first came into no
tice in New York politics, He ha
earned the right to an honorable re
tirement from his continuous SCI
vices in Tammany.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May IA, 1894. Is
half a loaf better than no
bread? That is the question that
confronts the democrats who do
not like many of the numerous a.
mendments to the Wilson. tariff bill
which have been submitted to the
Senate 1t is. not what sort Ola
bill that you, or |, or any other IN
dividual democrat wants, but what
sort of q bill can get 43 votes in the
Senate. Senator Mills had the'right
idea when hessaid that he should
vote against such of these amend
ments as he Was on principle OPP
nosed to, but that he would wheth-
err they were adopted Or not vote
for the bill as whole, because it
will be an Improvement on the Nc
KiDley law. 1t will be a very de-
cided Improvement on, the ,;Mckin-
ley law. Even if every amendment
proposed by the democratic mem
bers of the Finance committee
should be adopted without modif-
cation the average reduction iR,the
tariff duties would excede rs per
cent, and there are good reasons fol
the belief that notifications Of thest
amendments will increase the'aver.
age reduction to, somewhere in .tAf
neighberhood of 30. per cent. Then
when the bill goes to a. conference
committee after its passage by tn
Senate, further reductions are. Ger
tain to be made. Thus i. Will b
seen that the bill will be a yer,
practical reform of the tariff. an
as such it deserves and should re
ceive the vote Of every dem 'eF"sI
Senator, regardless of whe 4 !
meets his individual idoa Of w.

The Commonweai Army.

On the 10Th inst, the Coxey
movement was fully discussed by
Congress. Mr. Gordon took the
floor and presented the matter as it
appeared from Southern stand
point. He spoke as foiiows:-
Looking at the Coxey movement,
he said, from the Southern stand
point, it would teach a wise lesson.
It's inspiration was paternalism that
theory of government which, if IN
dulged in, would increase the large
brood Of similar movements in the
future and intensity their demands.
It had its origin in the great, cen
trial, populous State, justly noted
for it's intelligence and its devotion
to law and order. 9fhe divisions OF
The movement were moving upon
Washington from all sections OF
the country save one. Every Sec
ton of country save one was turn
inc ais ening ear to Coxey's appeal.
That section was the South. The
fact was marvellous for its isolation
monumental in the lesson it taught.
This was not due to an absence or
poverty in the South. The South
was still poor; it had not yet Who'll
" recovered from the condition IN
which it was left at the close OF
the war. 1t was not the abundance
of currency in the South that &C.
counted for it's freedom from Cox
ey movements; there was a great
dearth Of money there. 1t was moi
o the presence of great national proJ
, ects for internal improvements. L
was not that the supplied with pen
sions and bounties. The Southern
people, impoverished by war, wer
e rightfully denied pensions. Thel
e loyalty was not purchased by boun
o ties. They had grown up t.
d look upon the government as tn
S. child of tie people, not thei
is master; their paid agent rattle
>" than their employer. i h e
would give it their full quota &c
III support as they would give the
rs blood for it's defense. The Sout
$ also had negro labor, happy, cor
+ tented, with few wants. The WI
n and its lessons had taught the Sout
IL through the bittereSt of taskma
lie ters the necessity Of relying G
manhood, not government. Th'
was the lesson the country shou
lie learn and heed. Mr. Gordon the
III branched off into discussion
"a the remedies for present condition
nc which he found in the decentrallz
~ ton Of power.

To dress Like Our Fathers.

1t would apear. according to an
English authority that while in
America we are going along practi-
cally in the footsteps of year ago
in the matter Of mems fashions, a
radical and pronounced change is
t t d n England. 1t is not likely
that those fashions which are ex-
IRENE will find their way over here
until next season, however. There
is among the London leaders of
fashion a pronounced and whole
sale feturn to the fashions Of 1880:
The change is a complete one, and
it involves the use of Hessian boots
and the old-style bell-crowned hat.
The coats will have velvet collars.
and when they are overcoats, vel
vet cuffs as we'll. The coats are cut
with short waist long skirts, and
sleeves are fitted close to the arm
In extreme cases, the sleeves are
made so that they button closely
around the wrist, showing a very
small edge Of the cuff. The old.
style of peg-top, or military, trust
ers naturally go with coat of this
sort. and the man who walks along
Pail Mall in the very height O.
fashion at the present day, will bea
a close resemblance. so far as hi
attire is concerned, to his great
grandfather, when that ancesto
was in the heyday of his youth.
