AS defensive war, Senator Chandler
thinks war with England should be
welcomed. A defensive war is resistance
to an attack, and if we are to have de-
fensive war with England as Senator
Chandler seems to think, then it follows
that England is going to attack us. But
what motive is there for England to at
tack the United States? She cannot expect
to conquer US and we have no outlying
provinces for her to take away from u.s.
Furthermore she must know that if she
should embroil herself with us her great
rival in the East, Russia, would surely
take advantage of the opportunity to re-
arrange the map of India, and very like
II the map of a portion of Europe as
well. She must know also that the
chances are hundred to one that if she
attacked us she would lose her Alneri-
can province to the north of us. England
has nothing under the sun to gain by at
lacking us, hut on the other hand she has
very much to lose. 1t would put her inter
ests in three continents at least in the
greatest jeopardy. But it may be that
tho attack Senator Chandler thinks we
shall have to defend ourselves against is
not direct attack, but something that
might be construed as an indirect attack
IA violation for instance of some doc
trine that we are committed to such as
the Monroe doctrine But even in this
way we do not believe that England will
attack us. England has d great greed for
territory no doubt, but even this greed

We have bought S633,000 Maine
Central Consol. as, due 1912, and
offers the holders of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On or before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol. as
at par, and prepay the interest due
April lst, 1896, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number of
Leeds and Pennington bonds, allow
ing par and per cent accrued in
terest to date Of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds q Pennington bonds on a
8 7-8 per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated As at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the As.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically a first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
253,3oO outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out of total of $9,OOo,0Oo, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making a total OF nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent. on the CAPT
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve

We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders

curity at moderate cost.

in the arrangement is hat the fowls
