Another Railroad for Augusta.

The active measures taken by the
Augusta Board of Trade toward Sc
curing the extension of the WiSCaSSet
& Quebec from Cooper's Mills through
this city to Oakland. are d step in the
right direction, and deserve the active
support of every citizen of this city.
1t is now assured that this city Will
be the terminus of the Kennebec q
Franklin r. r. with the many result
ing advantages and benefits, but this
victory must not prevent the city from
striving for more trade ana better rail
road connections in other directions.
The Wiscasset & Quebec is now in
the hands of New York capitalists, and
the line of the proposed extension will
depend mainly upon the activity of the
waking up in this matter and will get
the road if it can. But the proposed
line from Coopers Mills to Togus and
Augusta thence through Sidney to
Oakland to connect with the Somerset
Railway, has many advantages, and If
Augusta does its duty the road will
come this way. There are charters for
the line through Augusta. while the
proposed Waterville route would meet
Legislative opposition as it would
necessitate a line parallel to the Maine
Central for a distance. Mr.. Heath has
presented the matter in detail to the
Board of Trade, and committee has
been appointed to have Augustus in
terests in charge. 1t has an oppOr-
tunity to do great work for this city,
and our citizens should render the COM
| mittee every possible assistance in its
labors.

Where suaiu will Get War Funds.

Spain is a bankrupt nation, but that
does not mean that she cannot raise
more money to carry on war. Henry
C]ews. the New York banker, is level
baadad man who understands national
as well as private finance, and he
shows how Spain can get together the
cash for the emergency now facing
her. He says that Spain is weak
foe. but not necessarily weak because
she is bankrupt.
In the event of Spain going to war
with this country it will certainly be
impossible for her to raise money by
the sale of her bonds, as they have al
ready gone down to 42la. and in the
event of hostilities they will go down
to probably 25 or less. She will there
fore naturally abandon ambition to
keep up her national credit, and hence
interest on her outstanding Obligations
will be sure to be defaulted on. This
amounts to about 800. 900 600 Il yeal
