The report of the Lincoln Fire Insurance
company Of New York, made public April
1, shows the company to be in even more
serious condition than was expected. The
company began active business last Oc-
tober, and at the time had paid-up cap
ital OF 100000, which was subscribed for
at u.s. giving surplus of $4,000. Chief
Examiner Vanderpoel of the insurance de-
partment makes quite a lengthy summary
OF the financial condition of the concern
as he found 1t February 2S. At that date
the assets aggregated 1896 4O5. .23, and the
liabilities. outside of capital stock,
amounted to 1922, ,247.0S. making an aggre-
gate OF S522.247.0S. The body Of the report
goes to show that the company is now
impaired to very large extent, but ac-
cording to the figures contained in the last
statement published January 1st, 1898. the
surplus was s45,533.96. quite mistake for
some one to explain. Even from the start
there seems to have been no money behind

seems to have been a loan by the North
American Trust company, to certain Of

A Communication.


Editor kennebec Journal:
1t seems as though war between our
country and Spain is inevitable. l
think it is a war unreaSonably under
taken by us. | think the evidence of
the destruction Of The Maine should be
submitted to an impartial and dsinter-
ested tribunal ! think that evidence.
imputing probable cause of a great ma
tiorai crime, Involving many innocent
lives. should be exhaustive. | think
the wreck should be raised if it takes
$10,00o,0Qo to do it, and that the tri-
bunal to render Judgment should have
q view of it. Such evidence would af-
ford proof sufficient beyond a reason
able doub,; and the judgment rendered
thereon would command the assent Of
the world. If the finding should be
that It was caused by external explo-
sion. then Spain should, and l think
would pay for the ship. and a liberal
sum for each life lost. and costs Cf trial
If not we have no occasion to so to
war. In my opinion, the war in Cuba
is so justitiable a war that it is justi-
able on both sides. l think they should
be allowed to fight it out on their own
paddock Let them fight to a finish, till
one side or both cries enough. If We
interfere and drive out Spain is there
any reason to expect that the Cubans
will give US less trouble?
Is not this the time for invoking the
spirit Of arbitration whose praises We're
sounded so loud, little while ago? If
there is ever a time for arbitration it
Is when the facts are in dispute, also thu,
cause of war.

Local bicyclists viii be interested to
learn that the game of hare and hounds
has been brought within the realm If
cycling by New York Wheelmen' s
Club with such gratifying success that
it will he sure to become a popular
feature Of the spring ard fan seasons
in the future. The game as played by
The cyclists is practically the same Is
that of the crosS-country runners eX-
cept that wheels are used for locomo-
ton instead of feet, and the Wheelmen
must needs keep to the roads, as a
rule. A few of the fleetest riders of a
club are armed with bags Of paper cut
or torn into tiny squares. These are
the hares, and they are started off on
their journey about 20 minutes ahead
of the pack. The hares determine the
route. and scatter the paper along the
roads they choose as a scent for the
pack. which follows. The possibilities
of the game are unlimited. The days
sport may be divided into two parts
the place selected for luncheon being
the first goal and home the second. A
few simple rules can be made to cover
all contingencies, such as punctured
tires, injured bicycles. etc. Unfre-
quented roads should be chosen when
ever possible for obvious reasons

The yellow CrocuS raised her head.
The robin on Il maple spray.
Poured forth his tuneful melody;
And by the side of brook ana stream,
Soft pussy willows could be seen.
The whole wide world seemed to awake;
And of this joyous feast partake;
While every bird and living thing.

ENFORCE THE LAW.
To the TEXARKANIAN:

To the TEXARKANIAN:
Last Tuesday night at the meet
ing of the East Side City Council,
there was one important feature
Of this meeting that should not be
overlooked by our citizens that live
within the boundary limits. The
point in question aforesaid men
toned, is where Aldermen Cook
stated briefly to the members of
the council, anent the uon-enforce-
ment of the stock law nuisance. He
states by way of emphasis that
there is a law against hogs and
other live stock roaming at large
in the business portion of the city.
Whereupon, the mayor asserts that
there is no poundkeeper and no
stock pen available in order to
carry this law into effect.
This being the case, why not pur-
chase or lease a vacant lot and ap-
point a poundkeeper? Surely, it
will pay running expenses, whether
it derives a revenue or not.
This hog nuisance has become
unbearable; they can be seen any
where-any tme-daY or night.
They 90 into the grocery stores and
confectionery stands. These four
legged blpeds called hogs, never
wait for an invitation to invade a
grocery store and shove their
shouts into the apple box or into
the soap box and help themselves
accordingly. No, no, they simply
devour anything from a green
onion to a decayed lemon. 1t is
sincerely hoped that the East Side
City Council will provide some
means of getting rid Of these hogs.
