A meeting of the Deering city govern
ment was held Wednesday evening. All
the aid ermen were present.
An important petition was presented
from General Manager e. A. Newman,
asking for the privilege of extending
the lines of the Portland Railroad as fol-
lows:
Permission is asked to substitute for
the present single trao double track
on that portion of the line extending
from the junction of Ocean street with
Forest avenue, mp Forest avenue and
Pleasant street. and along Stevens Plains
avenue to the place where the recently
completed double track extends; also
from the other end of the double tracking
en- Stevens Plains avenue to the point
where that avenue meets Forest avenue
at MorrilIs.
If this permission is granted the result
will be double track all the way from
Portland to Morrill's Corner.
The permission also asks for permission
to extend single line from Morrill's
Corner along Stevens Plains avenue to
Aliens Corner, and thence along Main
street to Lunt's Corner, where connection
will be made with the East Deering
line.
Permission is also asked to lay track
on Stevens Plains avenue from the Vest
brook line on Spring street to the Nor
rill's Corner and Riyerton line at the
head of Pleasant street.
This little LINK issprobably intended to
give shorter out for the travel between
Westbrook and Riverton.

GREATER NEW YORK.


Progress in drawing up the charter
for Greater New York is being made.
The commission having charge of the
work has made public the first five
chapters. This has been done that the
work may be criticised, conflicting
clauses eliminated and the like. Upon
the mayor is conferred absolute power
to appoint all heads of departments,
except the comptroller. This is no
doubt in line with the best modern
thought on che subject of municipal
government, but whether or not it will
be successful in New York remains to
be seen. The theory is that the re-
sponsibility will beget efficiency, but
whether this is so is not yet proved.
give him an autocratic power, while as
for public censure and being held per-
sonally responsible he will care no
more than for the whistling of the
winds. The mayoralty will be a great
prize for the politicians to work for,
and with great hopes of capturing it.
A check is sought to be put upon ex-
lIdNdSdnce Dy requiring a vote OF 1Our-
flfths of the full membership of the
municipal assembly to override the
mayors veto Of an Objectionable order
or ordinance. This should be effective
and make it impossible to override
such veto by any combination OF less
than four-fifths OF all the members, a
most improbable thing. But it shows
that the charter commission realizes
the danger of such combinations; and
New York's experience of aldermen is
sufficient to justify grave apprehension
on this subject.
The. assumption OF the debts of all
the counties and districts consolidated
is proper; in fact, nothing else could
have been done.
The proposed name CITY of New
York. is probably the best that could
have been suggested. That may be
its official designation, but it will al
ways be called New York
The drawing up of the charter is an
important matter and will be watched
with great interest, as it will in all
likelihood be most advanced on all
municipal matters

APPEAL TO RAILWAY MEN.

The Railway Age of July "a makes
an appeal to railway men to rally to
the gold standard. The appeal is fran
tic. It declares that they have before
them an opportunity such as has rare
Iy been given to any class of men in
history-the opportunity to be the con-
trolling influence in saving their coun-
try; that there, is no state in the union
in which, if they vote as a unit, they
cannot turn the scale in any ordinary
election. In the present crisis, it says,
1t rests with them to oppose a solid
front-as bulwark of reason and Of pa
triotism-to the flood of free silver
madness which is rising in the western
and southern states. Then it wants to
know what interest the railway men
have in helping those who, blinded and
led astray as they are, propose to raid
the treasury and bankrupt the nation
only to make our mine-owners
wealthy 1t says certain classes may
not care what wreck may come to the
country's commerce if only they can
get cheap dollars for their crops. The
miner may be willing to see the United
States sink to the rank of third-class
power bankrupt and dishonored, if
only the output of his mines be
doubled in value to him.
That is very hysterical indeed. If
the writer thereof were addicted to the
aught we know, we should say he had
reached the alarm stage.
Then the Age wants to know what
this is to the railway men. Their inter
ests, it says, are bound up with the
permanence of our commercial pros
perity. For your honest work you
want-and have a right-to get your
pay in honest dollars. What will you
profit by depression in wages and an
increase in all that your wages have to
buy? Do you want to get your pay in
dollars worth fifty cents apiece"
After all this, the Age calls upon
them to organize.
Therefore, organize. This is no ques-
ton of Republican or Democrat, but of
your cwn protection as wage-earners.
Organize for the preservation of sound
money-in defense of your own wages
in support of the country's prosper
fty and the country's honor!

THE FLOODS IN SEWER COUNTY.

In some respects this has been a
very remarka BILE summer In this part
of the state the rains have been quite
copious; in other parts there has been
almost an entire absence of rain,
while in soma counties, notably Sewer,
the foods have been unprecedented.
There have also been floods in other
counties, but Sewer county has suf-
fered most of all. 1t was thought that
this county had experienced all that it
would for this year in the way of
floods, but only Sunday there were
others. From Salina south the whole
country has been almost washed away.
The damage to the crops has been
very heavy, while travel by vehicle
has been rendered almost impossible.
All this means heavy expense to the
people of Sewer in many ways. Be-
sides the immediate loss through the
destruction of crops there is heavy
loss in the way of damage to homes
and homesteads, canals and bitches
Roads also are rendered nearly i'm
passable and much labor will have TO
be expended upon them to put them
in repair. The people, having thought
the floods were over, were beginning
to take courage and were going to
work with their old will to repair the
damages caused by them. This second
vista ton will tend to discourage them,
for they will naturally fear that others
may come. They are entitled to and
have the sympathy of the people of all
the state. If their distress becomes
great they should also receive aid
from them

FALLACY OF GoLDTTE ILLUsTRA-
TIGNs.

In discussing the question of free
silver and what its effect would be
upon the wages Of American working
a view of the matter. 1t is asserted
without qualification that with the adj
vent of free coinage the price of all
necessaries and commodities would adj
vance 100 per cent They would adj
vance this amount, it is said, because
the silver dollar would only be worth
fifty cents. That the silver dollar
would only be worth fifty cents is
assumed, not proved. That is a ques-
ton open to debate, and the gold men
assume the very point at issue. When
they say that the things which the
people purchase would advance in
price 100 per cent they assume another
point in dispute. Sometimes these as
symptoms are attempted to be proved
by citing the conditions of working
men and the prices of things in some
of our sister republics to the south.
When such citations are made by way
of evidence they ignore al the ira
ditions of race, religion and political
ideas, the three things that are most
potent in influencing the destiny Of
country. AS we'll cite the history of
our sister republics as examples of the
failure of the republican form of gov
eminent. Give them a gold or a silver
standard and they would remain very
much what they are. The most pros
porous and stable of all of them is
Mexico, and yet that country has a
silver standard. The recent expert
ences Of the United States of Colombia,
as detailed by our minister to that
country, Mr.. Mckinney, are cited as
an example of the bad effects of a
silver currency, and much ado is made
over the fact that that country is now
going on to a gold basis. Is it quite
certain that all of Colombia's evils
are due to a silver currency? That
country has not been free from revo-
lutions and changes in its form of gov
eminent in recent years by any means.
The last revolution was that of 1885.
In 1856 the present constitution was
promulgated. BY it the states became
mere departments. Have these facts
had no effects upon the condition of
affairs in Colombia?
If comparative politics teaches any
thing it is that like institutions in
different countries do not produce ex-
actly like results. The genius of a
people modiffes all its institutions and
policies. Like tariff policies in differ
ent countries do not always produce
like results. The gold men do not
strengthen their cause by the illus
trations they use. This would be plain
to them if they would but study them
carefully.
