$633,ooo
LEEDS & PENNINGTON
F, r. CO.
First Mortgage 6 per cent Bonds,
DUE JULY 1896.

We have bought s633,OO0 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 1st, 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 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
8 rs per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated rs 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 hrst mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
$4,000 outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out of total of s9,0Oo,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 $21, 700,
making total of nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent OF the CAPT
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining long, choice Sc
-curity at moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.

Warner Miller very pertinently asks
why the privilege OF opening their shops
on Sunday is given to the liquor men
alone. Probably the answer is that the
LIQUOR men are standing together and
demanding this as the price of their votes.
Certainly there is no more reason III the
merits Of the case why the liquor men
should be allowed to keep open shop on
Sunday than the dry goods men or the
grocers Indeed much more can be said
in favor of the latter.

The senatorial situation in Kentucky
is complicated by the announcement OF
Representative Berry that he will be a
candidate against Mr.. Blackburn. Berry
announces that he is a sound money man
of the administration stripe. and he ex-
poets of course that will be sufficient to
give him the support of the President
and Secretary Carlisle. But Blackburn
has probably got grip on the Demo
cratic legislative candidates that Berry,
even with tho help of the administrati on,
ca mot disturb. His principal
danger lies in the election of Republi-
can instead of a Demoeratic legislature.
With o Democratic legislature he is prob
ably safe.

The Spanish cabinet gives out that it
expects to put down the Cuban rebellion
by next May. 1t claims that the army
has been greatly hampered by the hot
season and the yellow fever epidemic, and
that when these disappear as it is expect
ed they soon will. the army will make a
better showing. The last rebellion, how
ever, which was less formidable than
the present one, was not suppressed for
ten years and that factH initiates very
much against the likelihood of the min
istry's rnsey prediction being fulfilled.
Perhaps tho prediction is put out at this
time in the hope. that it may tend to
postpone the recognition of the Cubans
as belligerents by our Congress

The wind was blowing gale in the direc.

it would have been impossible to control
it, and the destruction of these buildings

1t is said that the President is contem-
plating the issuing of an order putting
the fourth class post offices under the
civil service rules. There are IS, $50 of
these offices in the country, and the
rule has been to change their occupants
at every change of administration, and
yet there offices are in no sense
political. The fourth class postmasters
have nothing to do but to distribute the
mails received at thelir post offices. 1t
is matter ofpno real consequence at all
what their politics are SO far as the dis
charge of their duties is concerned. Yet
they have been changed at every change of
administration as scrupulously almost as
members of the cabinet 1t is high time
that this programme was changed, but a
change at the beginning of Cleveland s
administration before the offices had
been packed with Democrats, would have
impressed the country more profoundly
with the sincerity of the Presidents
civil service reform professions.
