1t is said that Queen Victoria, realizing
that the government cannot fulfil its
obligations to the Armenians has sent an
autograph letter to the Sultan beseeching
him to treat the prosecuted Christians
with some leniency. We have not yet
heard that President Clcvelandshas Joined
in this universal salaam to His Sanctified
Job-lots the Butcher of the East, but this
may be expected
1t was very inconsideiate of the Sui
ten's feelings when he had got his policy
Of Armenian determination into beautiful
working order, to ask him to admit food
and clothing for the victims. Morcovc,
it is very loyal on the part OF +. Hopkin
son Smith to pose at this time beside his
personal friend. the Sultan, just when
that potentatc has the rulers Of the world
at his feet.
How the Gar Of all the Russias and
the Queen of all the British domain,
must envy the ruler of the semi barhariC

mortgaged beyond its value, the ability tc
work his own sweet will and thumb his
noso at the universe. Insouciant de

The State Liquor Commissioner.
(Reporter journal

The appointment of Hon. J. W Wake
field of Bath, to the office of State liquor
commissioner, will be met with great
satisfaction, not only to his many friends
but by the people of the State. Mr.. Wake
field is known far beyond the limits of
his own county for his stalwart Republi-
ca nism and his long and effective service
III the cause of his party.
His past record gives an absolute guaran
tee OF his eminent ability and necessary
experience to fill his new Office with en-
tire satisfaction. He has served two terms
IN the Legislature with ability; has been
mayor of Bath five years; collector of Gus
toms eight years; and postmaster Of Bath
IL years. The Governor has bided his own
good time to make this appointment, not
wltastanding the pressure that has been
brought TO hear in some quarters to bring
about different result The Governor
seems to be running his business in the
same careful and paiustaking manner that
mas characterized his whole atiministra-
ton. Governor Cleavcs is Without a peer,
IN our day at least, in the satisfaction
which his method of discharging his
executive duties gives to the people of the
state.

realized the great free silver strength in
their party and dared not antagonizo it to
that extent. 1t is worthy OF notice that

suggestive even to Il Democrat
= There may be other reasons for choos-
ing Chicago. One of these is suggested
by the cartoon in tho New York World

been reached. This cartoon represented
the Democratic party standing before n
bar on which New York had set out

Such lack of perception on tho part Of the

shock. Surely he, though foreign born,
knows full we'll the traditional tendencies
of the bibulous Bourbon? In rage at the
result the New York parasrapher will
now insinuate that the quality of the
Windy City's whisliey was the attraction
which tipped the scales in Chicaeo's
favor Perhaps Chicago is about ready
TO take another census. And yet there
must be ether reasons why
Chicago was taken and New York was
left, New York the home of Tammany,
New York City with Its Democratic

New York the only Democratic strong
hold remaining in the northern states.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad.
(Aroostook Pioneer.)

'N''NN'''
The completion of the Ashland branch
and the Inauguration of regular train ser
vice on that part of the Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad system, on January
first, 1896, naturally recalls to mind the
history Of this great enterprise. Only
five years have passed since the so-callcd
Burlcigh Scheme" was first announced.
and only three years have passed since
he first stroke of work was done on the
new road, yet today the system embraces
306 miles of as finely constructed road, as
can be found in the country.
That this road could have been built
during the greatest industrial and finau-
eial depression this country ever knew
displays an energy, faith and indomitable
perseverance Oh the part of two men,
such as the world seldom witnesses. The
public does not know and probably never
will know how near the project came to
failure on several occasions, but A bert
A. Burieigh and + ", Cram, either one
or both, were on hand to tide over the
difficulty and keep the work moving for
ward, and now in January, 1896 they can
look with pride and satisfaction on the
result OF the past four years struggles,
disappointment, depressions and final
triumphal achievement.
The Burleigh Scheme" was first
published in the fall of 1890. The lcgisla-
ture of 1891 passed the enabling act and
such other acts as were essential at that
time for the inception of the enterprise
In the spring of 1891, the county voted on
the proposition TO take stock to the
amount of $500, 900, in the proposed road,
and the vote was nearly unanimous in
favor of such action. During the sum
mer and fall of the same year, Mr.. Cram
was soliciting subscriptions to stock in
the road in the city of Bangor and else

Some Reasons Past Finding Out.

Several things were settled by the de-
cision of the national Democratic COM
mittee not to hold the convention until
July Z. First the Democratic leaders
want to wait until they see how the Re
publican nomination is racei 7sd Again
they evidently realize that nothing short
of the most glaring mistake on the part
o! the Republicans can ever afford the
Democrats chance enough to screw their
courage to the fighting pitch. Consc-
quently putting off, Fabian tactics are
right in their line. 1t is also apparent
that they desire a short campaign for
another, but to them very important
reason: they do not want to give the
voters time to ask questions, they can
only look for gain by appealing to the
impulse; to appeal to reason would be
suicidal. Of course they want a short.
sharp campaign. Buncombe is fuel
quick to get up political steam but it has
no lasting qualities, and buncombe is all
they have rely upon in that line.
The decision to hold the convention in
chicago also clears up some features of
the coming campaign. For one thing 1t
was sop to the free silver men. The
latter Threatened to secede if the conyen
ton was held in New York. They wanted
1t IN st. Louis, the compromise was
Chicago. There is little doubt but that

they did not care enough about the mex,
