Gus work that falls to the lot of the
railroad employe, whose occupation at
best is hazardous one. for during
1895 one trainman out of every 1856 en-
ployed vas killed and one out of every
II was injured. 1t Is remarkable in
this connection to note that there were
no fatal accidents on the electric rail-
roads in this State last year. and of
the passengers carried only one to L.
1883 carried was injured.
Every year of the business depression
it has been noted that Maine has con-
tributed more than her proportion of
the new construction, and better still,
the greater. part of that construction
has continued to pay when many Of
the older roads throughout the country
We're struggling to meet obligations.
While this favorable showing for the
State was largely due to the construc-
ton and success of the Bangor &
lines the general opinion is
that the field for profitable railroad en-
terprise in the State is by no means
wholly occupied.

The Cattle Commissioners Report.

The ~ tlic is well prepared by, what
has req tiy been published respecting
outbrs of tuberculosis, for the
recora hdations of the cattle COM
missaN concerning that subject
Nevei9heless the report will be read
with good deal of interest and will
probably furnish the subject matter
for much discussion. A quite full alb
stract will be found in another column
of the Journal this morning. 1t will
be seen that the demands upon the
commission and the money at it's dis
posal are far in excess of what was
anticipated when the appropriation
was made. The number of cattle con-
demned and destroyed at an appraisal
in 1895 was but 70, whereas in the past
herd in particular was not killed re-
Gently because the appropriation had
been overrun to such an extent al
ready. A reading of the report will
show that there has been of late an
awakening of public sentiment as to
the need of protection against tubercu-
losis and a consequently increased de-
mand upon the commission. Indeed to
meet all the calls made upon the board
would entail an enormous expenditure.
1t will be for the Legislature to deter
mine what is consistent under the con-
ditions. The truths told in the report,
WILL however, cause buyers and owners
of dairy stock to be more cautious. and
in this respect alone be of great value.
Maine has less tuberculosis than any
other New England state and there is
every good reason why it should con-
tinue to have less.

Already the world is beginning to
hear much of the wonders that are to
be seen at the next Worlds exposition
in Paris in 1900. 1t is to be hoped that
they may not be discounted in realiza-
ton. The promises for the Chicago
exposition were more than fulfilled
and some things were achieved which
had previously been declared impossi-
BILE. or these the Ferris wheel was a
conspicuous example. Already the cX-
perts pronounce some of the projects
for the Paris exposition failures in adj
vance. Attention has recently been
called to gigantic telescope with an
object lens 81 inches in diameter by
which the moon is to be brought within
the apparent distance of one
mile from the observer. Learned as
tronomers, however, point out well
recognized conditions which would
render it impossible for such a result
to be obtained. This statement is based
upon that which is now supposed to be
an UNREASONABLE fact, that no matter
how large the lens may be made, there
is limit to the magnifying power,and
it would be practically impossible to
to bring the moon before the observer
closer than forty or fifty miles. Pos
sibly there is surprise awaiting these
scientists but it is not probable.

Maine Railroads.

The 92 miles of railroad constructed
in Maine last year were more than
Names proportion of the 1900 built
in the country. A quite general in
crease in number of passengers and
amount of freight carried indicates that
the increased mileage was due to
legitimate demands. as it was. The
increase of over three million in num-
Der of passengers carried by the street
railways in this State is pretty con-
elusive proof that the building of these
roads has not yet been overdone in
this State, at least, and is a feature
that of itself will serve as an encourage

way enterprises under consideration

requires attention. if it is to be kept
in healthy condition. 1t is before the
hoof is shod that the feet are generally
neglected, and the animals suffer
accordingly, because they are young
and immature, and the bones and other
tissues are soft and could be easily
distorted to suit the conditions under
which they are kept. The feet of foals
and growing horses should therefore
have attention given to them. since
neglect at that period often sows the
seeds of continuous trouble. The hoofs
should be kept clean by being picked
OUT as often as possible. to prevent
any dirt or hard substance being
buried in the assures of the feet. They
should be examined from time to time

The Central American Republic.

The attempt to form a close union of
the Central American states is one
which this country is disposed to en-
courage. and in this spirit has recog-
nized The greater republic of Gen.
trail America, though there is really
little to hope from such union for at
least quite a number of years. AS it
is Honduras, Nicaragua, and San Sal
vador have agreed to the terms of such
a union and hope to include Guatemala
and Costa Rica. Honduras under the
able administration of Policarpo Bon
lila, as president, is in a fair way for
a brighter future. 1t is. however, heav-
lily burdened with debt Up to 1898 it
had paid nonterest on its foreign debt,
which then amounted to over eight mill
lion pounds. Its internal debt was
nearly three million dollars. Its rev.
enue. from excise and customs duties
was much less than the annual expen-
ditures. The area of Honduras is about
A, 900 English miles and it's population
was then about $4,000, the bulk of
which was made up of aborigines, the
comparatively few whites being of
Spanish origin. It's agricultural ex-
ports may be greatly increased under
proper management and it is rich in
mineral resources. San Salvador is
much smaller in area but has nearly
twice the population of Honduras
About 10000 of the population are
whites. In 1893 the imports amounted
to $1S53.996 and the exports, coffee, in
digo, sugar and tobacco and some
minerals, amounted to seven and half
million dollars. OF the imports the
United States furnished nearly one
half. The Ezetas have not reiinquished
hope of overthrowing this government.
Some believe that they will make use
of Gen. Barrios, and an attempt is be-
ing made,it is. said to induce Guatemala
to take a hand in the hope of breaking
