Ine ARBITRATION TREATY.

January IL. 1897, should be red letter
day In the calendars Of England and
America, for on that date was concluded
the FIRST general arbitration treaty be-
tween the two countries. Since Jackson
defeated Packenhsm at New Orleans
over so years ago, England and America
have been at peace. The peace might
have continued indefinitely, but the
treaty will ensure les continuance and
Will render the possibility Of war very
remote indeed. The governments bind
themselves to leave out TO the dectston
of third parties all disputes save those
involving national honor, which cannot
be settled through the ordinary forms
of diplomacy. This Is good example
for other nations, and . step toward the
time when there shall he no war. Jan.
II is "Plow Monday" In the British cal
endar. The coincidence reminds one Of
the text about swords beaten Into plow-
shares. Bad feeling has existed between
England and America Of late years, but
within the past year they have come %

1ue WATERFORD RAILROAD.

SATURDAY, forenoon John ID. Clifford,
of the Lewiston firm Of Bearce & Cliff
ford, and +. w. Eastman Of Auburn,
the projectors Of the Waterford electric
railroad. me; a number Of the business
men of Norway at the office Of Freeland
Howe, Esq. The meeting was an In
formal one, designed TO secure an ex-
preston of opinion from the Norway
people with regard TO the feasibility OF
building the road, and the likelihood OF
securing the proportion OF capital desir-
ed in the town Of Norway.
l.. ii. Burnham Of Lynchville stated
to those present that the towns Of Water
ford. Albany, Stoneham and Lowell
want railroad. and want IL badly; in
fact, they are going to have one II 1t Is
possible to get II. They would rather 1t
would come to Norway than 60 else
where, but il they didn't make the road
go this wsy, they should try something
else.
Mr.. Clifford and Mr.. Eastman gave
some facts and estimates regarding the
construction of the road and the business
that it would do. The estimated cost OF
the entire road, thirty milestone termi-
nus at the Grand Trunk station at Nor
way, the other ut Harrison-is s2l4, 900.
A years business on the road Is figured
at about $4,000, on the basis Of the
traffic now carried on over the route,
not taking into account the probable In
crease with the building Of the road.
The suggestion made by the projectors
of the road is that Norway shall sub
scribe as a town or by individuals, fol
SIC, 900 Of stock and furnish the right Of
way, paying the land damages, from the
Grand Trunk station TO where the locs'
ton crosses the Norway town line. With
what is already pledged by interested
parties and what Is expected from the
other towns to be benefited, II IL though,
the building Of the road would be as
sured.
No pledges of assistance were made
BY those present, but the opinion wal
generally expressed that, II the people
of Norway could be assured that tn
road would be built and run on thos'
conditions, the required amount coult
be raised.
When the surveyors have completed
their profile Of the route, more accurate
estimate of the cost Of construction Cal
| be made than Is now possible.

There is no government 90 decidedly

So, though by letter i have been
asked for an expression Of opinion upon
the Cuban question, l shall not give 1t
Cat any rate not yeti, for the great ones
OF the country still feel uncertain Of
the right thing to do. However, u your
readers will allow me, will spend q
short time considering Spain as ma
ton. Its desperate methods In Cuba
may then be more clearly understood.
To consider an individual carefully, to
weigh his faults and strength, Is always
interesting. To do the same thing to a
nation Ia always interesting also, but
more complicated. may, therefore, be
In error in my judgments. That leave

The demon Of Spain, burning with the
lust OF conquest, drunk with the blood
Of It's best children, personiaed by
Pizsrro In Peru, and Cortez in Mexico,
by treachery and by superiority of army,
by ambush and by outrage, destroyed
the civilization Of the Incas and ravished
the possessions Of Montezuma. Every
where the thought was supreme to win
greater realm for the Catholic faith.
But. as always with religion lacking the
true religious elements Of unselflshness
and mercy, Il became mere cloak for
greed and wickedness indescribsble.
II IL safe to say that any nation that
places It's hopes for perinanency upon a
misconception OF Gods character, Ia
building It's structure upon the sands.
