Bath has forty-six miles of wooden
sidewalks which cost at the rate of 81, 900
per mile and about four miles have to be
rebuilt every year. Instead of laying out
50 much money on plank walks this year
the street department will build a stretch
of asphalt walk which will be cheaper in
the end than plank. Richmond Bee.
The Journal recently had something to
say on this subject, but had no figures as
to the first cost of wooden walks. Tn the
opinion of experts, however, it requires
the building Of three miles of plank walk
each year to maintain them in proper
condition. If that calls for an expendi
ture OF 50, 900 each year it would seem
that the change to more durable walk
would be true economy.

There is an old story, told to illustrate
the commercial instinct of the Yankee. of
two down casters who were cast upon
desert island. One had a Jack knife
and the other had fifty cents, and they
traded until they had two dollars and
half apiece. With due allowance for ex-
aggeration, there is a moral to this story;
and that is, do your trading at home. If
you make your purchases out of town
the money is lost to the community; if
you buy of local dealers it remains in
circulation here, and does good wherever
it circulates. The Belfast business direc-
tory, published on the End page, shows
that our city has goodly number of SUBJ
stantial business houses, embracing all
lines, and carrying stocks fully up to, if
not in advance of, local demands. They
deserve, and should have, the local pat
ronage.

This week the members of the Maine
Press Association and their ladies are en-
joying the Inequalities, and the scenery,
of Washington county, a section which
but recently attained the long desired
railway communication with the outer
world. The only wonder is that the COM
ing of the iron horse should have been SO
long delayed, for Washington county is
rich in natural resources, and richer still
in its cultivated and enterprising people.
Its ponds and streams invite the fisher
men, big game abounds in its woods,
and its picturesque coves, promontories
and islands offer innumerable sites for
summer homes. The county has an area
of 2, 700 square miles, about equal in size
to the State of Rhode Island. 1t has $50
miles of coast line, many snug harbors,
rivers, lakes a streams, abundant water
power, forests9f timber, and quarries of
red, blue gray, black and brown granite.
These and other matters will be treated
of more in detail in following issues of

on which all may stand. Equalization of
taxation is a very difficult problem and
we doubt if it can ever be satisfactorily
solved; but efforts in this direction are al
ways in order. The Journal is heartily in
favor of economy in expenditures, and be-
lieves that the pruning knife might be ap-
piled in this State to advantage, in cut
ing off superfluous officials and in cut
ting down excessive salaries. There is no
question as to public sentiment in this
regard, and it would have been we'll for
the Legislature to have recognized it at

Longs Orders TO Schley.
he Richmond Dlspatch SAYS

The Richmond Dispatch says:
1T is charged by the friends Of Ad
miral Schley that Secretary Longs
orders to him not to visit any South
African port without special instruc
ttons, and which confine his station
TO South American waters, are de-
signed to keep the Admiral as much
in obscurity as possible during the
coming session Of Congress. 1t is
not to be questioned that should the
gallant Marylsnder visit any port IN
South Africa in which there happened
to be British warships, he would be
received with tremendous eclai; and,
as this would be very dlstastefui to
the Sampson clique, it looks as If
there was a good deal in the charges
of Schley's friends touching Longs
unusual proceeding in giving the
hero of Santiago a hard and fast
schedule.
"Schley's predecessor in command
of the South Atlantic station reached
Rio via the Mediterranean, the Red
Sea, Delagos bay and Cape Town, but
Schley is directed to proceed to the
Brszllan capital in as straight line
as possible. His coalIpg points are
marked out for him in advance, and
each move he proposes to make must
oe indicated beforehand, 50 that the
department can stop it If necessary.
The Baltimore Sun thinks this looks
like petty persecution of Schley tor
having won the battle Of Santiago
and taken the lsurels intended for
the departments favorite, aud we
agree with our contemporary.
Yet the prosecutors might do we'll to
remember that their course may re-
suit in reopenipg the Schley-Samp-
son controversy in Congress. and TO
their sorrow. II it shall develop that
the purpose of LoDg's orders IS what
it is open to the suspicion OF being,
these orders may prove a boomerang
for the whole Sampson ring"

Senator Daniel Has Spoken.

On the first page of this issue viii
be found what he has said after much
goadiug by the press. aud he has
neither affirmed nor denied anything.
Il has been stated through the press
that the Senator is opposed to Wm.
b yam. Whether he had said o In
private or in public WAS not the
question which Interested the people,
that is the Democratic people of the
country, but the fact itself. h 8
statement heretofore referred to 10
toe manner of the Senator'S unbos'
oming hims IL through the New York
World, aud while we are willing to
give him the benefit of the doubt,
still his u,tersnces in the article are
not reassuriug. 1t is also fact that
since he has made this public state
ment, the h publican and Gold Bug
press have commended the wisdom"
aud foresight" of the Senator,
while the Democratic press has not
showered compliments of this char
scter Oh him. One Gold Bug paper
referring to the article edltorlally
says IN j)r Dauiel concludes by
saying, ! see no encouragement 10
Democrats In the recent elections. ;
TINS means of course with the party
as Col Bryan and his POpulist asso-
clates are heading it." Thus are
Senator Daniels words translated
He is msde TO condemn " Bryan and
his populist associates" Hels made
to cast slurs upon those men who
have the courage to stand by Mr.
Bfyan as their ideal OF man aud a
leader. We are not so sure that the
translation gwen by the Republican
aud Gold Bug press is strained. The
proof seems strong in their favor.
There was no especial reason why the
Senator should at this time speak at
all, If his words be true when he
says, IL know no more than the
general public, being constantly oe
cupled in matters to be dehlt with
now, and have no suggestions or ad'
vice TO offer which | think worthy OF
attention" Tue day may arrive
when be will regret that be spoke
either in private or in public on this
subject when be had " nothing to say

such conditions, aud 80 many speak
