Another Bond Issue.

This is the latest prediction, and this
before the last 500 900, 900 is allotted and
paid for. All bids for bonds that can be
thrown ont by any technically Carlisle is
awarding to the Morgan syndicate, al
though they can readily be sold at an
advance over the Morgan bid. and the con-
ditions of the sale are that the Secretary
reserved the right to reject any or all bids.
The evidence accumulates that Cleve-
land and Carlisle are in cahoots with
Morgan. And another bond issue is pre-
dicted within three months. $24, 600, 900
of gold have been withdrawn from the
Treasury since the last bond issue was
advertised. OF course the most of it will
go to pay for these bonds.
This whole business is most infamous.
Congress could stop it at once, and that
it does not proves that that body is not
opposed, but i'll favor of this robbery of
the people. The bankers and great money
syndicates-which all own and are run
ming banks-want the bonds for invest

extent of their power as long as they have

"Federal due bills" is the bank

"Federal due bills'' is the bank
ers' slang for the greenbacks, which
were issued by the government in
1862 to pay the soldiers and buy
supplies, after these same ''pat-
riotic'' bankers demanded that the
government should borrow their
educ bills" at rate of 80 per cent
interest. ''Federal due bills" these
same "patr OTIS" call the national
money. In 1878 they called it
"rag baby". They are Il job lot of

A stereotyped paragraph in use

A stereotyped paragraph in use
by pretty much all of the news
papers in the country when con-
gress is in session, is, that it had
better adjourn and go home. Now,
it would seem that this remark
which has come to be kin to a
proverb must have a strong founda-
ton, for all proverbs are the
epigramatical expression of funda-
mental truths. If it is a fact that
congress chad better adjourn and
go home'' soon after it meets,
wouldn't it be better to make the
people at large directly responsible
for legislation by referring laws
back to them for approval or re-
lection? No long speeches would
be needed for constituents.

SOMERSET COUNTY.
Maine Central Railroad Company vs..
Watervills and Fairfield Railway and
Light company.
Rescript by Walton, 1.-THE track of
the Waterville and Fairfield Railway and
Light company crosses the track of the
Maine Central railroad, and the Railroad
Com m1satoners have decided that the
Waterville and Fairfield company shall
bear the whole expense of constructing
and maintaining the crossing. On np-
peal, the court below accepted the report
OF the commissioners and ordered 1t to be
recorded, and the case is before the Law
court on exceptions.
In support of the exceptions 1t is urged
that 1t was unreasonable and unjust to
place the whole burden of constructing
and maintaining the crossing upon the
Waterville and Fairfield company, and
that the Act of 1895, chapter 70. under
which the commissioners acted, not on ly
authorizes but oontemplates that the ex-
penses shall be apportioned Between the
TWO companies.
The Act of 1895, chapter 70. undou bted-
~ authorizes the railroad commissioners
to apportion the expense, but it does not
question to their sound Judgment and
discretion. And, on appeal, the only rule
prescribed for the presiding justice is
| that he shall make such order or decree
as law and justice shall require. The
statute declares that Exception may be
taken to such order or decree, - but IL
presoribes no rules by which the law
court shall be governed in passing upon
! the exceptions. ID seems to us that the
evident intention of the legislature was
to leave the whole question of how rail
road crossing should be constructed and
maintained, and how the expense of such
crossings should be borne in the first in
stance to the sound judgment and disore-
we think that their decisions should not
be altered or reversed unless manifestly
Ill egal or unjest.
Taking this Interpretation Of the
statute for our guide, the question il
whether the decision of tho railroad com
missioners Is manifestly Illegal or un-
just We do not think II Is. At the time
when this crossing became necessary the
track of the Maine Central railroad had
been completed and the crossing was
needed for ths accommodation OF the
Watervillesand Fairfield road alone, and
it does not seem to US that it WINS either
illegal or unjust to require the latter
road to bear the expense Of its oonstruc-
that whenever an alteration la made in
al existing railroad track for the sole
convenience and accom- mediation of an
other railroad the expense should be
borne by the latter. Possibly exceptions
may exist TO such rule; but we fail to
discover any reason for holding that the
present case furnished such ian excep-
ton.
Exceptions overruled.

prima donna, and the third ACT to
French masquerade ball, and in each
place. (although at first fascinated and
wealthy people), Nancy soon finds
beneath the glitter and glan,or CT wealth,
aching hearts with whom she would not
care to exchange places. Her earnest
sympathy and anxiety to serve her
wealthy sisters, together with her
honest simplicity, get her and the other
characters of the play into innumerable
soreeahingiy funny complications and
situations, out OF which. however, her
quick perception and ready wit invaria-
bly, extrioate her as well as those she
endeavors to serve. Finally, becoming
convinced that this sphere of life which
she had thought all sunshine and roses,
was myth, and that the possession of
wealth and fine clothes do not always
bring shappiness, she returns to her
humble, but comfortable home con-
tented and much wiser little woman.
The play is wholesome. mirthful ana

brimful of humor. clean fun and song

TheosophY.

IneOSOpny.
1.-The broad views of Theosophical think
ers are capable of being readily misoon-
strued, and the special idea of the Uni
versal Brotherhood of Man is sometimes
cause of offence to those who look
only at the surface of things. One of
the best equipped and most interesting
lecturers on Theosophical SUBJECTS of
many in the New England lecture field,
is Mt. George D. Ayers, Of Boston, who
will begin a series of five lectures in
Portland on Saturday of this week.
To those who care to hear a delightful
presentation of these ideas, this will be
an opportunity not to be neglected. The
lectures will be free to all and notice of
them may be found in our adyertising
columns.
