Shovel All the Walks.

The sentiment is universally expressed
throughout the city for the enactment of a
new snow ordinance that shall! provide for
| shoveling all the sidewalks in the city
| throughout the winter, the cost to be met by
the general appropriations. This sentiment
should prevail. There Is no equity in the
| present arrangement whereby one house
holder cleans his walk after a snowfall but is
forced to wade through drifts on the walks
of his neighbors whose hearts are devoid of
snow cleaning sentiments. The clearing of
the walks benefits all citizens equally and
it is an expense which could easiy-and we
believe would cheerfully-be borne by the
! taxpayers. Rockland Tribune.
The Tribune further says that Thomas
ton with her Is miles of sidewalks has for
years been model in the snow cleaning di-
rection. After each storm as by magic her
walks are freed of snow. The expense en-
ters INTO the general bills of the town and no.
body feels it, and the Tribune thinks that
Rockland also should be out of the back
woods country town class. Why not Bel
fast? Mayor Hanson has advocated abolish
ing the office of sexton, and the old system
of highway surveyors and the proposition
that the city should care for the sidewalks
as we'll as the streets, is move in the same
direction. What is said of the situation in
Eockland applies with equal force here. A
few citizens pay for cleaning the walks and
in some cases it is inditierently done. Where
there are vacant lots from which no reve-
nue. is derived the private shovelers allow
the snow to remain, and IS whole the re-
suit is unsatisfactory and the cost uuequally
borne. All the walks should be promptly
and thoroughly cleaned, and this can only be
done by the city. There We're two days last
week when the sidewalks We're comparative
ly clear, but the street crossings generally
could not be crossed dryshod unless the
pedestrian was provided with rubber boots
The care of the crossings certainly devolves
upon the city now, and a very little work
would have made them passable.

1he report OF the bank commissioners
OF New hampshire upon the character
ana condition OF the Granite State Provi =
don't Association, which The Mirror was
the inst paper to make public, exposes,
ana we trust brings to an end, the most
ingenious. intricate, extensive and sue
ceSsiul scheme for enriching sharpers at
the expense of working people and others
OF small means that has ever cursed New
Hampshire. Manchester, n. H., Mirror.
This is the opening paragraph of long
editorial in which the methods of the as
ISOLATION are reviewed from data furnish
ed by the report of the bank commission
ers. 1t is sufficient to show how this con-
Germ is regarded at home, and to furnish a
warning to Maine people who have money
to invest. Belfast and vicinity had for
tunate escape, but the association has re-
ceived some $500, 600 from shareholders
in Maine. Bank Examiner Timberlake
says there are on deposit with the State
treasurer at Augusta $67, 1890 which
will be distributed among the sharehold-
ers in Maine if the association winds up
It's business. There are about 600 shares
OF the stock in force in Franklin county
and the local treasurer and collector ex-
presses confidence that shareholders will
receive from Is to 90 cents on the dollar.
This is naturally the most favorable view
of the situation. How those who have
borrowed money from the association and
put up buildings with it are coming out,
it is difficult to say just now.

Why Not Help Ourselves d?

1t would of course be a good thing to
bring new industries to Belfast; but the
schemes lately presented have been SO
visionary and unsubstantial as to be hard
ly worthy of serious consideration. Take
the proposed match factory, for example
Why should such a factory be located
where there is no lumber; and who could
expect people to invest $50, GOO in an in
vention that has never been practically
tested? Why not put aside the diet OF
wind pudding with which we have been
surfeited and seek something substantial
by promoting the industries we now have.
They are many and varied, capable OF eX-
pansion, and all merit encouragement
Near at hand we have ineXhaustible quar-
ries of the finest granite in the world for
monumental purposes, for building or
paving. One of these quarries has rail-
road communication with tide waters
We have stone and marble workers second
to none in the State, fully equipped with
polishing machinery, etc. We have two
wood working establishments capable of
producing everything required for ex-
ternal and internal finish, from doors and
sashes for the humblest dwelling to the
ornate and costly fnishings for the resi-
dence of a millionaire. The queen of the
Baltimore coffee fleet to-day is the bark
entine Doris, built at Belfast, and we
have the facilities and skill for producing
the finest wooden vessels that float. We
have a marine railway capable OF hauling
out the largest craft that frequent these
waters, with other facilities for repairing
vessels. We have a shoe factory second
to none in the country in the quality of
the work produced and in the character of
its employees. Home capital was invested
in it with the desire to benefit Belfast,
Its proplietors deserve encouragement for
what they have done, and their prosperity
means good times for the community gen
orally. The Belfast Machine and Foundry
Co. is well equipped for all kinds of ma
chine work and casting and ought to do
large and prosperous business. There
are many lesser industries which need not
be enumerated here but all contributing
to the prosperity of the place and all de
serving of encouragement. Why not give
this encouragement?

pay his taxes The man who has only a
poll tax has the same advantage OF
schools, protection from fire and disorder,
privileges OF sidewalk, streets, bridges,

father set him up in business at Fargo.
He has since been fairly prosperous,

years OF age.
Clementine Clayton was granted a
divorce from Douglas Clayton on the
