This week will be devoted to the task
of ascertaining to what extent the ir-
responsible democracy at Chicago in
tend to wage war upon the prosperity
of the country. When that is deter
mined it will be in order to ascertain
what measures of prevention are con-
tanned in the republican measures and
candidates. Never before since the
election of 1860 has so much been at
stake in a national election. The only
certain thing about the Chicago con
vention is that it has no use for the
head of the party and that it condemns
in unstinted language the administra-
ton of Cleveland. AS party expe-
diency this dissatisfaction and denun-
citation may not find expression in
words, but it will be true all the sahIe.
That convention viii present the
strange spectacle % a national demo-
cratic convention hating nothing COM
mandatory to say of democratic gov
emmett. 1t is as bad as that. The
absence of all commentator will tell
more severely than the bitterest con-
demnation could.

Maine Industries.

The Biddeford debating club has in
teresting meetings with good atten-
dance. At the last one Hon B. F..
Chadbourne spoke upon the subject of
Maine industries. a subject with which
he is quite familiar. The railroad
commissioner had large map of the
State and pointed out the different
places referred to as he went along
He paid particular attention to the pa
per mills. AT Rumford Falls there are
two mills that are kept running daily
and employ large number of hands,
while at Orono there is mill which
has been running for the last three
years and makes on an average sixty
two tons of paper day for the New
York Sun. He also spoke of other val
liable paper making plants, notably
that at =" estbrook.
The next subject which he took I'D
was the lakes in the state. He said
there are 1920 lakes. having a potential
force equal to the power OF "a 100000
men, and three-fourths of it Is going to

where water power is not going to
waste. This fact, he characterized az
of immense importance and said meas
ures should be taken to try and re-
ceive some benefit from this now
wasted power

Of sections. That doesn't mean that

ton and act as all business interests

II is too early To predict what
changes or reforms. if any. are to take
place along the Maine Central. Within
the past two weeks. you see, the new
general manager has been over the
system for the first time in his
life and not much policy can be
evolved in that time. In fact, until he
came to take charge II the road Mr.
Evans. 50 he informs me, had been in
Portland only once or twice in his life.
He distinctly says that he shall do
nothing hastily. II would he strange
indeed. he didn't make some changes
He has an adherence for ruts. and he
remarks that looking on the Maine
field With new eyes, he shall be able
t. keep out Of them.
In fact. sentiment aside. the new
general manager Of the Maine Central
is an excellent and lively example that
Il shalle-up in any organization is a
good thing. It's stimulating to all con
corned.
Why, the atmosphere about the
Maine Central general offices is a new
one. The, young men of the depart
ments admired Mr.. Tucker as much as
ii was possible for human beings to
admire one of their kind: they copied
his stateliness as though hypnotzed
they indicated that they were working
for the biggest man in Maine. and as
loyal lieutenants they carried their
dignity correspondingly
Mr.. Evans is also something of
hypnotist. too. | am led To believe. He
has peculiar way of inspiring esprit

as he becomes acquainted with them,
Mr.. Evans is bound to inspire hearty
liking. He isn't dilletante railroader;
ne knows it all from experience and 50
every man on the road starts in with
a lively respect for his intelligence and

But no man who really has business

So here is General Manager Evans at
his desk, amid the dark. rich furnish
ings of the big room. He has just fin
ished an interview with Claim Agent
John s. Head and has turned to his
desk to jot down some memoranda.
When he turns to greet his visitor the
sincerity of Mr.. Evans heartiness is
unmistakable A man can counterfeit
many things. but he cannot put the
mint mark of sincerity on spurious
bonhomie. So | hasten to hail this new
man in a big place as a refreshing
example of indebtedness. | know the
State of Maine will be interested in
this more than in any other point about
Mir. Evans. This will he his first quail
ity we shall experience. | trust the
gentleman thus in process of dissection
will pardon the personalities to which
| am giving utterance. but there seems
to be no other way to let him off. He
is getting acquainted with us. we must
get acquainted with him; he wants us
10 do so. He has more before him in
the line of Introduction than any other
man in the State of Maine. His SEN
tence is that during the next year he
shall be shaken by the hand until he is
pretty nearly dead SO we have right
10 paw over Mr.. Evans personality
with bit of freedom. although he is
modest and smiling deprecated the

are quarried and about any kind that
is desired may be found here 1t was
Maine granite, he said which was used
to build the tomb in New York over
General Grant and the state building
at St. Louis. He also mentioned other
places where the most attractive build
ings are made of Maine granite. Most
any color of granite may now be OBJ
tanned in the State, and he spoke of a
quarry which turns out a granite
which. when polished, gives a hand
some black effect. He then spoke of
the granite which is cut out from the
quarries in this city. and said that for
building purposes Biddeford granite
could not be eXcelled.
The lime industry which is situated
close to Rockland, is also another
thriving one. and a big business is car
ried on. He outlined the work that
has to be done before the big rocks are
brought to the kilns and also told how
sulphuric acid is made. He said that
4 new lime has been discovered in the
eastern part of the state which is
second to none for plastering. and is
valuable for other purposes The Bid
1eford city building he said was plas-
tered with this new lime and one inn
portant point about it is that il has
rarely been known to crack. and he
doubted if a crack could be found all
over the building.
The speaker touched on the lumber
industry of the State, and spoke of the
thousands of feet of lumber cut every
year. Down in Aroostook county big
crew of men are at work at all times
getting out the lumber which is being
shipped out of the State
Every town has its own peculiar in
dustries. and to outline them all would
take a good deal of time. The rail-
roads in this State cover territory of
100 miles. and for road bed and power
they are second to none in the coun-
try. Electric railroads cover 131 miles
of road. and most all have been doing
successful business, and paying big
dividends. He also spoke of the local
electric road and said that the men
who now have it in charge, should be
thanked for it, This closed his talk as
he had taken up the time allotted him.
By vote of the club he Will continue
the subject at the next meeting which
will be held three weeks from last
night. He was also given vote of
