NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

/ Edwin Fulton has been appointed as
| assistant station agent at Mars Hill
and Blaine station.
| The steamer Frank Jones" will re-
sumo service between Portland and
Jonesport, Friday, April %.
| Thomas F. Nancy, of Bangor. for
many years an engineer on the Maine
Central and Bangor & Aroostook rail-
roads, who is regarded as one of the
most capable locomotive drivers in the
State. has taken position with the
Central Vermont railroad, running out
of st. Adams.
Spring comes as special benefactor
to the management of the Boston 4
Maine railroad. The winter that has
about closed was the most expensive in
the history of the corporation. Hun
dreds of men We're employed almost
continuously in the efforts to clear the
switches, frogs. locks and signal APP
paratus. Trains Were belated. Pas
sengcr trains We're off schedule time
and in consequence many patrons were
lost. The freight traffic was stopped al
most entirely for the greater part of
several weeks and hundreds of freight
cars were held in freight yards and on
Sidings, the snow making it impossible
to move them. The coal expense was
increased materially. The extreme
cold made it difficult and, at times,
almost impossible to generate steam.
and the Quantity of coal consumed was
necessarily greater. The season of eX-
pense has not yet passed. The damage
to the roadbed by the severe winter will
be considerable, and cannot be deter
mined until the frost has gone out of
the ground and a close examination of
the entire roadbed of the great system
made. Though the expense of operat-
ing and keeping the tracks in condition
was enormous the income of the system
was very materially increased by the
effects Of the storms on the electric
railways A great part of the ordinary
patronage of the electric railways went
to the steam roads, and the Boston &
Maine, which is in competition with
many street railways, received patron
age that it would not have got if the
weather had been less severe and per-
mitted tie operation of the electrics. 1t
is more than probable that notwith-
standing the very extraordinary eX-
pcnSes, the net income of the corpora
ton will not show Il corresponding re-
duction. the increased patronage from
the electric railways meeting a very
generous part of the extra expense.

weakened and broken down by reason of
the terrible curse of Catarrh. This dis
ease is intlammatory in its nature and is
very liable to affect the membranes and
tissues of any vital organ or part of the
system and produce results which cause
a lifetime of suffering and regret.
Men of science and students Of medi-
cine have tried in vain for years to find
a positive cure, but it has remained for
one living in our own generation to fin
ally discover what he claims to be GER
tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of
the body. His claims are vouched for
by the words of hundreds of people whose
honesty cannot be doubted; people who
have suffered for years and tried every
other known remedy without avail;
people who had not faith at first but
were finally cured and convinced of the
wonderful power of this new discovery
in medical science.
The famous physician to whom the
credit belongs for this wonderful devel-
opment and addition to twentieth-cent.
ury science is DR.. ]. A. TOMAS,
Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Ind.
He will send anyone who is suffering from
Catarrh free treatment to prove the
merits and wonderful curative properties
quested to describe their case when writ
ing to the doctor for the Free Treatment.

atfliction besides Catarrh write the doctor
about it and he will send a free treatment
for that also at the same time he sends

by any party which enters eacn cam
paign uttering the language of the
mourner
There is one fundamental plank,
however, on which the two great
parties are in full agreement. Both
believe in the equality of men. The
difference is that the Democratic
party would make every man as low
as the poorest, while the eRpublican
party would make every man as high
as the best. But the Democratic
course will provoke no outside inter
ference now, for the Republican mot
to is that of the great commander,

In politics as in other fields, the
most impressive arguments spring
from contrast Never has there been

owe the resolution, that those great
schemes of government and humanity,
inspired by their patriotism, and es.
tablished by their blood, shall re-
main as the fixed ami permanent en-
blem of their labors, and the abiding
signal of the liberty and progress of
the race.
There are many new names in
these days, but the Republican party
needs no new title. 1t stands now
where is stood at the beginning. Mem.
ory alone is needed to tell the source
from which the inspirations of the
country flow. A drowsy memory
would be as guilty now as a sleeping
watchman when the enemy is astir.
The name of the Republican party
stands over the door where right
eous cause was born. It's members
have gathered around every move
ment, no matter how weak, If in
spired by high resolve It's flag for
more than fifty years has been the
sign of hope on every spot where
liberty was the word. That party
needs no new name or platform to
designate its purpose. 1t is now as it
has been, equipped, militant and in
motion, The problems of every age
that age must solve. Great causes
impose great demands, but never in
any enterprise have the American peo-
pie failed, and never in any crisis
has the Republican party failed to
express the conscience and intelli.
gence of that people.
The public mind is awake both to
its opportunities and its dangers. No
where in the world, in any era, did
citizenship mean more than it means
today in America. Men of courage
and sturdy character are ranging
themselves together with a unanimity
seldom seen. There is no excuse for
cropping in the dark, for the light is
plain to him who will raise his eyes.
The American people believe in a
man or party that has convictions
and knows why. They believe that
what experience has proved 1t is idle
to resist, A wise man is any fool
about to die. But there is a wisdom
which with good fortune may guide
the living ana the strong. That wis
dom springs from reason, observation
and experience. Guided by these this
thing is plain, and young men may
rely upon it, that the history and pur-
poses | have described. rising even
