GOOD FOR THE STATE.
Mt. Waldo Granite Contract Will Emplo.
Hundreds of Men for Several Years.

Eastern Maine citizens may ccngratu-
late themselves on the announcement that
the Mt. Waldo granite quarries. in
Frankfort, will cut the stone for the new
postoffice building in Chicago, according
TO the contract awarded by the United
States Treasury Department on Monday.
John Pierce, of the Mt. Waldo company,
and his brothers, secured the contract in
the face of keen competition, and Bangor
people Will reap great benefit from the
consequent industry down the river.
The contract involves more than mil
lion dollars. The stone will be cut at
Mt. Waldo, and will employ 500 or 600
men for something like three years in the
cutting.ss 1t can be plainly seen that the
contract will be a benefit to that section
of the state.
Bangor merchants will be likely to feel
the effects of the contract and numerous
families in the vicinity of Frankfort are
rejoicing at the shappy prospects. such
contracts as these are valuable because
nearly the entire amount of capital ex-
pended in fulfilling them stays within
the state of Maine
Tog ather with his three brothers, John
Pierce owns one half OF the Mt. Waldo
quarries in Frankfort, John I. Rowe, of
Frankfort, owning the other half.

The President still adheres to his de-
cision not to recommend the recognition
Of the insurgent government at this
time, and it is to be hoped that Congress
will follow his lead in this respect. If
we recognize them now we shall have to
hand CHba over to it when we have
driven out the Spaniards, and when we
become fully acquainted with its charac-
ter this we may not BIS able to do with
any reasonable assurance that peace and
order may be maint aimed on the island.
Furthermore it is clear enough that this
government has few if any of the ele.
ments which in the practice of sother
nations and of our own have been re-
garded as essential to recognition.

If war breaks out, q special session OF
the Maine Legislature will undoubtedly
be necessary. There is no money which
can be legally used by the Governor and
military authorities to provide for the
emergencies which war may bring, and
none can be had except through action
by the legislature. The session need not
be long or expensive, and of course it
would be unwise to call it until war
actually breaks out. After that it cannot
- called too quickly.

Tt is not at all probable that Congress
wilt reach definite action upon the Cuban
question today, or indeed for several
days. There is a division of opinion in
both branches as to the recognition of the
Cuban republic. The President, in his
message, will oppose it. and suggest
armed intervention merely. But the
outlook now is that there will be a
strong movement to add recognition to
Intervention, and this may precipitate
a long debate. The offer of an armistice
by Spain may also provoke discussion.
Of course it is within the bounds of pos
sibility that all differences may be laid
aside, and the members, with practical
unanimity, conclude to follow the Presi-
dents lead, but that is not the present
o1Jtlook
