There is more catarrh in this section

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, aud by constant

pronounced it incurable Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufacted by f. j. Cheney &

LAND FORCE OF NO AVAIL.
naval Force Now the Defense of
Great Nntions-The Armies OF
Different Nations.

The peace establishments of the
French. German and Russian armies
are at least 1,S50,000 men. and perhaps
may be 100000, all highly organized.
Their war establishments might
amount % totals from 100000 to
100000 men. On the other hand, the
peace establishment of the British en-
pire amounts to 100000 men-a part
OF which is equally we'll, and another
part not equally well organized with
the European armies. The possible
war establishment of the empire has
never been seriously estimated. The
peace establishment of the United
States is under 10000 men. doubtless
well organized. Like the British peo-
pie. the Americans have never reck-
oued their possible war establish
ment. but evidently they could II so
minded, raise 1t to mighty strength.
says the North American Review.
But neither British nor American
leaders wilh under the existing cir
cumstances, consider land force as a
dominant factor in any worldwide
problem. Their thoughts will mainly
be turned to sea force. They will
anxiously inquire whether the sea
force of an Anglo-American combina-
ton would or would not compare
favorably with that of q European
combination. 1t were needless to stop
and show that all the European land
forces would be of no avail against an
Anglo-American combination, If that
combination really possessed the mas
terry of the sea.

The first fighting of the war was done
by Admiral Dewey and it has fallen to
his lot to do the last. The work which
he so auspiciously began on the first of
May when he sank the Spanish fleet in
Manila bay he finished on the twelfth of
August when Manila fell before the guns
of his feet and the charge of Merritt's
troops. If one had predicted before the
war began that the greatest reputation
would be made, not around Cuba, but at
far of Manila he would have been
laughed at. Yet SO it has turned out.
Dewey is the popular hero of the war;
No letters from navy department or STRAIT
egg board are needed to explain to the
country his achievements. No controver-
sy can dim the lustre of his fame
for mona is possible. He was al
ways the commander, mot merely in name,
but in reality. He has been too far out
of reach of strategy boards, for them to
be able to claim t he slightest credit for
his achievements. And Dewey has other
claims to fame, quite as great, as his sue
cesses on the sea. His handling of the
Philippines insurgents and of the Ger.
mans, who have evidently been seeking
for months past some pretext for inter
ference at Manila, has been mastery.
Had man of less discretion and skill
heen in charge at Manila it is not unlike
ly that we should have been embroiled
with Germany. Had man of less hui
mainly and firmness been in control Ma
Mia might have been sacked long ago by
the insurgents, and crimes commit
ted there that would have shocked the
civilized world. No distinction which
the government can confer upon Dewey
can be excessive. He merits all that can
be given him.

Ii is clear enough from the President S
order through Adjutant General Corbin
that the Cuban insurgents around Santi-
ago are still giving trouble Just what
they are doing is n OF clear, but apparent
y they are not disposed to recognize the
arlnistics between Spain and the United
States. There is no doubt that these
people If dispose to can give US a good
deal of trouble. They are acolimated, and
if they should attempt to keep up a
guerilla warfare and go roaming about
the island burning and plundering, it
would be costly task for us to put them
down at this season of the year. If we
had known them four months ago as well
as now it would have been practically i'm
possible to have worked up any sympa-
thy for them in this country.

The Bridgton and Saco River Railroad is a
narrow gauge road extending from Bridgton
junction, near Hiram, on the White Mountain
ton and North Bridgton to HarrlsonO21 miles.
The road was built to Bridgton in 1882 and has
been in successful operation ever SINCE The
| last report of the Railroad Commissioners says:
Its road-bed and track are In excellent con-
dltion Ia all respects. Its bridges are carefully
looked after and have been reduced in number,
by filling. until there are only few of them and
The rolling stock Is In first class condition In
an respects, and the station buildings are main
tained In good repair, clearly and convenient.
Taken as whole, this Is one OF the model mar
row gauge railroads of the State"
The extension from Rrdgton to Harrison was
built In the spring and early summer OF 1898. al
cost OF about $50, 900 To meet tnis expendl-
ture, $4,000 Of the capital stock OF the com
pany was sold at par and bonds issued for the
balance. ~
In making this new issue of bonds it was
thought best to provide. at the same time, FOR
retiring $1O6500 outstandi 6 per cent. bonds,
which will mature in 1902 and 1904. Inc new
mortgage was accordingly fixed at $135 900 VI
this amount $106, 800 are held by the trustees
and can be issued only for the purpose men
toned above. OF the remaining S2s,500, such
as are not required on account ofthe extension.
will be held In the Treasury of the Company.
The new bonds form first lien on the extern
sion from Bridgton to Harrison and will be-
come a first lien on the entire property when
the outstanding bonds mentioned above are re-
tired In 1902 and 1904.
1t will be noticed that the total mortgage in
debtedness of the company, including this Is
sue OF bonds, cannot exceed $l35,00O. The cost
of the property has exceeded S240000. leaving
an equity above the entire bonded indebtedness
OF over 100000.
For the fiscal year ending June 80.
1885, the gross income of the COM
pany was. s2s 1926
Surplus above all expenses includ-
ing interest charges 5.S07.27
In the opinion of competent judges. the ex-
tension of the road to Harrison will add mate
rally to both these amounts. Moreover. the
refunding of the present outstanding six per
cent bonds. when they mature, Into the new four
per cent bonds. will make an annual saving OF
50, 100. which should also be taken into account
in considering the future of the property.
The mortgage has been drawn and the bonds
issued, under competent legal advice. and we
feel confidence 10 recommending these bonds as
an investment for savings bank or other trust
funds.
