topic.

Ben Tillman is a good deal stirred UP
by Judge Goff's order restraining the
South Carolina authorities from proceed
ing further with the election of delegates
to the constitutional convention. Til
man thinks there is conspiracy on foot
and that that dirty Republican, rs he
calls Judge Golf, has been brought from
West Virginia into another circuit to
do work which, it is hoped, will over
throw the rule of the people in South
Carolina" Tillman says he doesn't
know what the Supreme Court will do,
but he is sure that the convention will
be held, and that "it will be composed
principally of white men who will take
care Of South Carolina and see that
white supremacy is maintained within
her borders" Tillman's language has
the old South Calolina ring. But South
Carolina will obey the mandates of the
Supreme Court of the United States
whatever Tillman may do or sag. She
ceased in 1865 to be an independent
nation.

The Honest Money League of Chicago
has issued all address to the Democrats
of Illinois, in which it is claimed that
the election of delegates in that city to
the Democratic State convention was
irregular and fraudulent. In only nine
of the thirty -four wards of the city were
any primaries held at all, in six dele
gates were named through the ward
clerks and in nineteen there were neither
primaries nor club meetings to select
delegates. and more delegates were Sc
lected than votes cast.

The internal revenue bureau is firmly
of the opinion that the whole income
tax law is to be held unconstitutional.
One of it's prominent officers says that
the bureau is convinced that Judge
jackson is Democrat of the school OF
Judge Field, and that he agrees with
the latter as to the main principle of
the law and will kill it all as the easiest
way out of the difficulty.

A classification of the mem bers of the
Senate, not counting one seat from Della

the sympathies Of at least four of the
Populists are with the Republicans and
that they will vote with them on all
questions excepting those that concern
silver. If this be SO then for the pur-
poses of organization the Republicans
will control As votes AS against AZ for the

Portland Railroad
Company.

Deliverable and payable on, or before
June LIST, 1895.
Price 105 and interest yielding net
return of about A per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May 1st, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at At per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
pl incipal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
OF the total authorized mortgage,
$780, 600 bonds are already outstanding,
and 100000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this $4,000, we shall receive
for delivery $3.50, 900 on or before June
LIST, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no move of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1860, and is perpetual. This
mortgage is first lien on all the fran
chises, rights and property Including
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-
Gross, S207. 552. 20
Expenses and taxes, 1852 979. Is
Net, 1872. AZ
Interest, 1922. "a
Surplus, $2s, $50. OS
It will be noticed first, that the operat-
motors, l snow plough, l 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 100000, taeice over.
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
Whole Indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900. which sells
in the home market at lis to 100 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 900.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895, over what the same
would have costin 1892, is atleast $3.50, OOO
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $4,000 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.

modating fifty persons are not affected
by the amendment. 1t Is gratifying to
see that there are some prohi bitionists in
the country who think that half loaf
is better than no bread, and that where
absolute prohibition of the liquor traffic
cannot be governed it is wiser to advo-
cate some restriction than to accept the
alternative of free rum on the ground

The people of New York are much i'll
censed over the failure of the jury in the
Mclaughlin case to agree. Mclaughlin
was indicted for receiving brides and
the evidence against him was over
whelming. Two jurymen, however, per-
sistently refused to convict or even to
discuss the evidence with their fellows
The probabilities ars that they had been
seen by some of the defendants friends
and fixed. AS the jury law of New York
practically allows no one to sit on a case
who has read newspaper account of it,
it can readily be seen that in case that
had the publicity of McLaughln's the
chances were very small of getting any
one on the jury who was not an ignor-
ramus or falsiier.

SENATOR Du BOTS, IDAHO.

some of his many friends are talking
of booming him for the vice presidency;
on the republican ticket in 1896; but
the senator will prefer to remain in the
senate, where he can best serve the in
terests of his state.
There is another northwestern SEN
ator who has walked out of the "back
row" and stepped out into the arena Of
debate. During the summer of 1890
Congressman Henry C. Hansbrough, Of
North Dakota, walked into my Office;
one evening to bid me good-by, saying:
II am going back to North Dakota now,;
and l am coming back as the next sem
ator. I am going to succeed Senator
Pierce. 1t is oil settled, and l will be
elected
Well, have heard politicians claim
good things so often ard get left in tho
long run that l rather demurred to the
statement and warned my friend that
he must not be too confident, lest defeat
should prove dreadfully disappoint-
ing. He laughed, claspcd my hand.
said good-by and assured me that [
would have to write "U.S. S." after his
name inside of six mont hass He was
right, too. just how he managed to
make the combinations which brought
about his election to the senate have
never known, but the result showed
him to be a good politician as well as
statesman. Senator Pierce had been
governor of Dakota territory, was a
splendid newspaper man, had been
elected to the senate with a legislativeI
recommendation that the long term Of
six years be given him, and he was
backed by some powerful corporations.
Nevertheless Senator IIansbrough was
elected and has since forged to the
front until he is now one of the leaders,
of his party on the floor of the senate.
He made splendid effort last winter to
secure an appropriation OF 81 100000 to
eradicate the Russian thistle from our
soil, but the condition of the nationa!
finances was such that the house Of
representatives declined to allow the
appropriation. Senator Hansbrough
secured the passage of his bill through
the senate, but the house successfully
opposed it. Senator Hansbrough will
take up that subject and press it again
next winter. l do not believe that he,
can accomplish his object on account of
the condition of the treasury. How
ever, men sometimes work for several
years on important measures before the!
congress will permit proper legislation.
But solid, steady, persistent worker
like Senator Hansbrough ultimately ac-l
complishes his ends. The senator will
be chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, position held for many years,
by Senator Platt, of Connecticut.
Inasmuch as the congress will con-
vene within u few weeks, shall try to!
tell you something about some others
of the great senator's and represented
tives upon whom the eyes of the coun.;.
try will soon be fixed as they gather be-
meath the dome of the capitol and pro-
coed to legislate for the people of this
great American republic.
