Hancock County Politics.
An Ellsworth special to the Lewiston
Journal SAYS:

An Ellsworth special to the Lewiston
Journal says;
The war talk has not drowned out politics in
Hancock county by any means. Elmer F. King
man is already In the field as a candidate for
sheriff, and will make an active canvass. Sher-
III L. F. Hooper will, of course, be a candidate
for reelection, and what other candidates the
several months intervening between now and
caucus-time will bring forth, is matter of spec
ulation.
For county attorney, George Fuller, of
Southwest Harbor, Is named as a candidate.
The precedent has been established of allowing
the incumbent of the office two terms, so that
usually there has been little opposition on the
second term. But his year there are indications
that the precedent will be disregarded, and
County Attorney Bunker will not be allowed to
capture the second term without a struggle. If
Mr.. Fuller starts the ball a-rolling it is safe to
say there will be other candidates in the field
before election. Two are already mentioned
Henry Boynton, of West sullivan, and L. E.
Tracy, of Winter Harbor who were in the race
two years ago.

Senator Hale's Speech.

Senator Hale's speech in the Senate
last Saturday night WAS one OF the most
impressive and strongest speeches made
in that body during the historic debate
on the war resolution, says the ashing
ton correspondent to the Bangor Com
mercial.
1t had been the senator's intention
not to participate in the debate at
all, because some senators were making it
so apparent that they cared more to hear
their own voices han to help the country
avenge the insults of Spain in a great
crisis.
When it became apparent, however,
that some democrats and some republic
cans We're going crazy over the PROPOSE
ton to recognize the independence of
the Gu ban government, he thought it OPP
perfume to raise warning voice.
1t is true that Senator Hale accused the
advocates of Organism of trying to inter-
iect politics INTO the great patriotic
measure but, nevertheless, he was heartily
supported by one Of the most Influential
senators, Mr.. German, of Maryland, Who
is himself friend and sup porter of Mr..
Bryan.
Every New England senator, except
those from New Hampshire, stool by
Senator Hale.

War Seems Inevitable.


The President has signed the Joint
resolution passed by Congress and it
becomes law.
Spain has been officially notified of
this action, and of this governments
determination to enforce the policy
which the resolution demands. The
notification to Spain was accompanied
by an ultimatum giving that govern
ment until Friday night to accede to
the demands made by this govern
ment The full text of the ultimatum
has not been made public, but it is fair
to assume that from this time out the
United States government will pursue
a vigorous policy.
Only the most sanguine believe that
Spain will accept this ultimatum.
The troubles with which she must
contend at home all argue against it.
The cry of Spanish jingoes Better
fight Yankees abroad than Cubans at
home" succinctly states the situation.
War, therefore, seems inevitable.
The policy of this government will be
to push war most vigorously to an
early and successful issue.

WORK BEGUN AT oHERRyFIELD.


The Cherrytield Times throws up its
hat, tiguratively speaking, and announces
with hurrsh that work on the railroad
has begun in Cherryfeld. The Times
says:
Saturday ground was broken in Thompson's
field near where the track crosses the Bedding
ton road, but owing to the condition of the land
the scrapers were unable to make much head
way and work was postponed for the present
Since then the force has been grading across
the river ON the line extending through Frank
f. Small's pasture, beginning near the point
where the bridge touches the shore above the
Freeman mill.
In addition to these operations force of
stonecutters Is splitting material for the cul
vcrts ON this section of the road, and in some
instances the work of construction is under
way. A force of men and teams Is also at
work widening the grade where the track
crosses the town road at Duubar's carding mill.
To effect this change the highway will dlverge
from its present course and the bank on the
northern side Is being removed and appropri-
atcd towards widening the embankment at The
crossing.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1898-04-20

The meaning of Congress regarding
Spain is not in doubt, but the form of
declaration at this hour is in question,
says Dun's RerieW. The Presidents
message has been accepted as strong
statement of the situation, and the
question in Congress is whether it
will without change adopt his pro-
posal. Preparations for war continue
as if it were inevitable. There is
some hindrance in business, and yet
the volume of payments through
clearing houses is still 1873 per cent.
larger than last year, and outside
New York about % per cent. larger
than in 1892, though speculative
stagnation here makes the aggregate
lower. New York banks may now
realize that they are strong enough
for all possible emergencies, and may
give the government valuable aid by
greater freedom in business loans.
Sound New York banks are not in the
least alarmed about the business sit
nation, nor have they any occasion
for alarm.

WEST FRANKLIN, April 16 (speciai) -
As The warm days OF spring appear, it
becomes more evident that railroading in
Franklin is no longer something expected.
Crews all along the line are beginning to
do active work. In about six weeks,
crews laying rails are expected to be at
work, probably pushing the grading
crews. Before the frost kills this years
pumpkin vines we expect to see the iron
horse snorting through this town.
The bridge contractor has ordered his
outfit OF timber for pile-drivers. Among
the pieces are two sticks to be 10x10, AZ
feet in length each. The contractor ex-
poets to be at the mill pond in about
three weeks and says he will surprise
us when he gets here.
