Sound money" is that sort of currency
which has the most universal and least

the commerce of the civilized world
there is the most universal demand. And

Suppose" says ex-Congressman Van
voorhees,. that Great Britain, which
has an alleged claim against this govern
ment for damages to Canadian sealers in
Behring Sea, should fix the sum which it
wants in reparation of those damages,
at say $500, 1000, which in reality it has
done, and should send her warships to
the harbor of New York and take posses
sion of that city. The case would be an
exact parallel TO the Nicaraguan Incl
dent. Why does not the British govern
ment take that course to collect the
claim she makes against us, now that
Congress has declined to pay it? Simply
because it dare not do so." That is put
ting the case fairly. England refuses
Nicaragua arbitration because Nicaragua
is weak and can make no effective resis-
tance She sets her own damages, and
when Nicarauga questions the amount,
she curtly informs that little country
that she intends to be judge, jury and if
need be executioner.

$l50,000
First Mortgage 4 IL per cent
20 YEAR GOLD BONDS
OF THE
Portland Railroad
Company.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June 1st, 1895.
Price los and interest yielding net
return of about Al per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May 1st. 1893,
payable without option twenty years af
ter date, with interest at Al per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
Of the total authorized mortgage,
S1S0.000 bonds are already outstanding,
and $22O,000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this $220,OO0, we shall receive
for delivery S15O,O on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no more of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1860, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is a first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20.14 miles,
making the bonded indebtedness less
than $4,000 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, $2O7, ,552. 20
Expenses and taxes, 169,979. IS
Net. s37,572.4
Interest, S,622.34
Surplus, $2S, ,950.0S
It will be noticed first, that the operat-.
ing expenses, which included new cars,
4 motors, l snow plough, 1 mile new
track, ETC., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of S220,00O, taoice ouer.
1t is conServatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
achote Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over SIS, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1896, over what the same
would have cost in 1892, is at least $3.50, 900.
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175,O0O of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as particularly choice invest
ment, returning better income than
any other home security OF similar
standing.

The first trial under the suicide law
which has recently been placed on the
New York statute books, has taken place
and the law has been found TO be rather
unsatisfactory arrangement. A young
girl, arrestedl for taking poison, was
brought before the Court of General
Sessions and charged with the offence.
1t was proved that she told somebody
she wanted to die and that she was
suffering from undoubted evidences of
poison when she was brought to hos
pital. That apparently should have
sufficed to convict her, but Recorder
strong enough and directed the jury to
acquit, which it did.

fair and also stentorian, as mighty Yale
was being defeated at base ball by the
Georgetown College team. The final score
was 20 to 5, and the sons of old Eli left the
grounds in anything but a jocular mood.
When Umpire George w. Sneedon called

pus we're lined half dozen deep with en-
thusiastic spectators, while third side
was given over to carriages and tally-hos.
Ladies were very much in evidence, and
the colors of the contesting teams were
seen on every side.
Georgetown first took the field, with Ma
honey and Sullivan as battery. Yale failed
to score, as did Georgetown in its half.
Trudeau and Greenway were in the points
for the visitors. In the second Speer and
Quinby singled for Yale. Rustin followed
with a triple, Sullivan let a pitched ball
pass him and three Yale men crossed the
plate. In Georgetown's half, McGrath. the
first man up, was hit by pitched ball,
stole second, went to third on Murphy 8

McCreery came home. In the third. Ma
honey singled, McGrath sent one to left
field for three bases and Murphy showed
the ball over the embankment in right field
for home run, and three more scores were
chalked up. One more was added in the
fourth inning on Mahoney's single, stolen
base and single by Carmody. Great en-
thusiasm prevailed in the sixth, when three
more runs were scored on singles by Ma
honey and Mccarthy and home run by
George Mahoney. McCreery and Sullivan
singled and Ed. Mahoney hit for two bases
In the seventh, and two more Georgetown
men walked home. The eighth was a very
sad experience for the men from Connecti-
cut. Harley and Mccarthy made home
runs, Sullivan singled, and, with the assist
ance of two bases on balls and couple of
errors, eight healthy runs were added to
the already big score of the locals. George
town did not play its half Of the ninth.
After the second inning Yale failed to
send a man around the bases until the sew

and went home on double by Keator, the
