Volume Seventy-First.

With this issue The Republican Jour
nal completes its list volume. An old
subscriber remarked the other day that
''The Journal improves with age;' so
that when it enters upon it's seventy sec
ond volume it she uld be better than it is
to day. There will certainly be every
effort to make it so. In the future as in
the past The Journal will endeavor to
promote the interests of Waldo County
and to voice the sentiments of Waldo
county people. 1t does not aspire to do
more. 1t has no advice to give to the
crowned heads of Europe or the uncrown-
ed heads of America. 1t cheerfully re-
signs the task of running the universe to
the yellow journals of the big cities, and
is content to chronicle the events, aid
tiles be the counsellor and friend of it's
Maine constituency.
The Journal is the only 'home paper
of Waldo county. 1t is home made too,
from first page to last-no patent out
side or inside; no plate matter to be edited
with saw, 1t costs more to produce it
than many of its contemporaries, but the
money is expended at home, goes into
local circulation, and the community bene-
fits thereby. As an advertising medium
it has never had rival in its own field
1t covers Waldo county as no other paper
ever has or can, and it is read and re. read
and goes from family to family, while
other papers are merely glanced at and
thrown aside.
For the many evidences of appreciation
we have had in the past twelve months
We feel truly grateful; and to our readers
and patrons all we wish very happy and
prosperous New Year.

Perhaps not; but it makes better
showing for the State, and does justice to
those who are obliged to violate a State

what it did not say.

The bicycle we have had with us for some
years, but it has not altogether supplant-
ed the horse, as predicted, nor will the
automobile, which, locally, is yet to
come. Two livery concerns some twenty
miles apart report that the past season
was the best they had had for five years,
and it is a rather remarkable coincidence
that they should have each included the
same period. These liveries have both
water and land competition, boats as well
as bicycles, but the horse is evidently
still in demand.

At the recent dairy conference ID Lewis
ton some progress was made in the direc-
ton OF the much talked of consolidation
of the Maine creameries. Turf, Farm
and Home says;
The proposition that has been present
ed to the owners of our creameries is for
them to sell their plants and business at a
specified sum, one half of which they are
to receive in cash, and the other half 10
stock in the proposed new organization.
Ii enough cYeameres come in to make
the plan feasible, it is believed there will
be no difficulty in obtaining sufficient cap
tai to fully finance the scheme, which
means not only purchasing all the plants,
bat having on hand in the treasury sutfi-
cient capital to discount all bills upon pre-
sentation, so that the business can be run
in the most economical manner possible.
All the old creameries will simply be
members of a larger concern. 1t is eX-
pected that they will all retain an interest
and have an active part in the manage
ment of the concern. Of course the size
of the new organization and its scope Of
operations will depend upon the number
of creameries which see fit to join the
scheme. 1t is very clear to any one that
the advantage both to the creamery men
of the State and to the farmers will be
considerable, if the matter is carried
through on the basis proposed.
There would seem to be no reason why
the creamery business should not be
profitable, both to the creameries and the
farmers; but the latter have had some
rather costly experience of late. The
failure of creamery to pay its bills, aftel
farmers have fitted up to supply cream,
entails upon them serious loss, and il
consolidation will ensure financial protec
ton to cream producers, by all means lei
us have consolidation.

Back Numbers.

A correspondent of the Madison Bulle-
tin, writing of journey through Texas,
says:
Along towards night we began to climb
the mountains and the air began to grow
colder. Here we crossed the third largest
bridge in the world. 1t is over the Devil
river and is called the DEVILS bridge. 1t
is 800 feet high and 1926 feet long. About
here they told us the river rose Is feet in
20 hours, so you see when it rains here, it
rains.
"The world do move" surely. The
last time the writer saw DEVILS river it
was miles and miles beyond civilization,
and the favorite resort of hostile Indians.
Eternal vigilance was required if you
wished to retain your scalp, and mill
tary escort accompanied the paymaster's
train on its way to Forts Lancaster and
Davis from San Antonio. At one time a
company of United States troops was sta
toned at the crossing of Devil River, Of
ficers and men living in tents, which were
pitched over stakes driven into the ground
to form the walls. The captain in COM
mand had his wife and daughter with him,
and we dined with them one day. The
principal dish was 20 pound wild turkey,
a young bird, tender and delicious. The
wild turkey and the wild Indian are now
things of the past.

With the railroads earning more money
than ever before. everybody employed at
high wages and the whole @ untry hum
NH with prosperous industries. itseems
hard to account for the financial troubles
of The past two weeks in Boston and New
York. OF course prosperous times cause
what is called tight money market,
and the condition of the London money
market naturally has its effect at the
financial centres in this country; but this
would hardly account for the decline in
securities which ought to be, and no
doubt are, as good as gold. 1t was
the watered stocks of the trusts which
caused the trouble Dun's Review says ::
The worst day in Wall Street for years
was in part the legitimate result of the
best ear in business ever known. Be-
cause the country had prospered 50 great
~ and had so expanded its business, it
could no longer afford to have many mil
lions locked up in carrying stocks rep"e-
senting imaginary values. The question
was not one of monetary supply. When
the country found ample use for its CAPT
tai in regular trade and productive in
dustry, a contraction Of leans become
necessary which would only have been
more painful if the volume of stock car
ried had been larger.

In justice to Mr.. E. c. Dow, whose
and to The journal, it should be said that
his letter was received last week and was
unavoidably held over. On the question
of equalization of taxation his views seem
to be substantially in accord with those
expressed by The Journal last week As
to the selection of candidates for public
office, while Mr.. Dow may be right
theoretically there is certainly room for
argument. Instances of the office seeking
the man are not rare, and very often the
man declines. 1t is not always possible
to secure just the right candidates for the
city offices, in which positions the best of
men may become targets for fault finding
and abuse, while serving without com
pensation. We have also known the office
of Representative to the Legislature to 90
begging. The pay is small, there is
little glory attending the position and
few men can afford to neglect their own
affairs to attend to the legislative duties.
AS to candidates announcing themselves
in advance, there is something to be said
in its favor which may be illustrated by
the present situation concerning the Sena-
torship for this county. Three candidates
are already in the field, and the nomina-
ton will not be made until next summer
There is ample time to examine into the
record of these men, to weigh them, in
dividually, in the balance: and if one is
preferred by majority of the people
OF Waldo county they have the power
to nominate him. Is not this more
likely to bIin II about the state of things
desired by our correspondent than if it is
lett tor the bosses, or managers, to slate
man for tue position, work for him
secretly, and spring him upon the conven-
ton with an organized force to put the
nomination through
Sending good men and true to Augusta
is but an initiatOry step in the line of re-
form. Without organization and lead
ership they c accomplish nothing. we
know that our Waldo county delegation
at Augusta last winter was imbued with
til e right spirit: that they We're earnest
in desiring the reforms the people are
seeking; that they were united in favor of
economy in the public expenditures.
We believe this may be truly said of a de-
cided majority of the legislature of 1899
1900. In the election of United States
Senator it is unquestioned that a majority
was opposed to the man elected, whose
opposition to the Republican Administra-
ton had earned for him the title of the
Senator from Spain; yet for want of
organization and leadership, or rather of
leadership alone, the minority triumphed.
Mary F. Snow, Superintendent of the
Bangor schools, favors Manual Training
and says: IF you want my reasons | can
state them to you here. Any school sys-
tenn that aims at less than the all-round
development Of youth is faulty and mad
equate. The training of the hand is as
potent to quicken the whole brain as the
training in mathematics. A record of 20
years of successful achievement in manu-
al training in most of our American cities
has placed it beyond the region of expert
ment and established it as an essential.

THE MONTAGUE CHURCH

The report of the church dedication
of Montague, from the pen of our
versatile correspondedntH. Ludwig,
will be read with pleasure and inter-
est. The old church stood as a land
mark in a commanding position and
could be seen from a great distance
in all directions. Though no spire
pointed heavenward and no bell
sounded its notes inviting to wor-
ship, yet the familiar building on its
proud eminence has sheltered many
an earthly pilgrim whose heart was
yearnlng for glimpse of the narrow
way, and its portals have often re-
sounded with the earnest words and
solemn admonitions of those who
stood on Zions walls to point the
road to the better land. Many of the
fathers and mothers, of those who
gathered in the new building, heard
the words of eternal wisdom
within its confines and while their
mortal remains now slumber in the
hallowed grounds adjoining, their
spirits doubtless looked down in APP
proval at the efforts of their child
rem. 1t will stand also as a land
mark and a testimonial to the energy
and zeal of those whose willing
hands and earnest, christian spirit
have caused its sacred walls to be
reared within which their children
may be taught the eternal truths
which will fit them for
dwelling in that Higher Mansion
not made with hands, and when
their forms shall be resting beneath
its shadows generations will rise up
and pronounce their work blessed of
the Master.

The plans for the remodeling of
the Grand Central Station were, on
Saturday. submitted to commission
er Thoms ]. Brady president of the
board of buildings. Changes are to
be made in the interior construction
of this, one at the most famous ter
minals in the world. The main
building is to be extended on the
Vanderbilt avenue and Depew place
side, and the annex shed will be
raised three stories. This section
will be rooted over with trusses, so
as to make one grand shed. The
whole building was recently beauti-
fed costing many thousands, but
the cost of these improvements will
probably exceed one half million
dollars. When finished it will be
the finest and most Practicable
structure of its kind in the world.
Work will be started at once and
pushed ta completion as soon as pos
sible.
