Probably few of us realize what is to
be the outcome of the work upon which
a few hundred men are now engaged in
the town of Stockton Springs; or the
immense resources and possibilities of
development in the region tapped by
the B. & A., and for which the new
railroad is to furnish an outlet to the
sea. We use the word tapped advis
edly, for great part of Aroostook
county is as vet virgin wilderness
and further extensions of the b. & A.
will be needed to develop its industrial
and agricultural resources. These will
come in due time; but first in order is
an outlet to the sea for traffic that al
ready overtaxes the carrying capacity
of the road and to provide facilities for
other traffic that now goes elsewhere
but could be more expeditiously and
more cheaply handled here. One item
of inward freight, that of coal, is
sufficient to warrant the building OF
the road. The consumption of coal is
steadily increasing in Northern Maine
and will continue to increase as the
forests are succeeded by farms; and if
Bangor was an open port the year
around the frequent long delays at
Fort Point and the towage up-river
would be saved, no inconsiderable items.
Vessels bringing coal could have return
cargoes of lumber, etc, and we have
seen this winter how easy it will be to
keep the new port open to the sea even
under the most unfavorable circum-
stances While it does not appear that
the Canadian Pacific is directly inter-
ested in the new road it is altogether
probable that it will make use of the
facilities it offers. Cattle brought from
the west can be put on shipboard at
Stockton more cheaply and with a
shorter haul than if taken to other
ports. This is also true of shipments
Of spool wood, box shocks, etc, SO that
there will be, in addition to the business
coastwise,a transatlantic trade by steam
and sail. The building of the necessary
piers and coal pockets, the various
buildings in connection Herewith and
the homes for the officials and the nee
essarily large number of employees, will
make pOpulouS and prosperous that sec
ton of Waldo county.

Oliver Otis, editor of the Rock,and
Opinion and Democratic candidate for
mayor of that city, takes his defeat
philosophically, and says of Mayor
Rhodes, who was reelected, that he
lis a man of high personal character,
tine abilities, and respected and liked
by ALL" And of the Republican ticket
as whole he says that it 'was COM
posed of good men and was a strong
one" That is a manly stand to take,
and makes us almost sorry that Brother
Otis was not elected.

The air is full of railroad and steam
DOat rumOrs, and while many of the
current reports may have no very sub
stantial foundation it is quite safe to
conclude that we are on the eve of in
teresting developments in the matter of
transportation 10y land and by sea. The
report that the Boston & Maine railroad
has been purchased by the New York
Central, thus becoming part of the So
called Vanderbilt system Is denied by
the Boston Il Maine, but there is a
strong belief that this consolidation
will eventually take place, and that the
Canadian Pacific will be identified with
tie New York Central in controlling
She property, AS the Boston & Maine
controls the Maine Central this deal, if
carried through, will place our local
lines i'll the hands of the New Workers:
and will, we believe, lead to further de-
velopment and more business, for the
Maine railroads.

LETTER TO G. D. MAHONEY,
BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear Sir: Here's something every painter
and builder ought to know.
Mr.. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two
houses, years ago. lead-and- oil; took 40
gallons. Last year. he paint ID Devoe :;
bought 40 gallons had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The knowledge
is getting about pretty generally that De-
voc goes further than anything else.
Have you found it out in your own ex-
perience?
How much further?
Suppose job amounts to 10000 square
feet how much less Devoe could you buy
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost any
more or less to put-0n by the gallon than
anything else? how much?
If it costs no more to put-on Devoe by
the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you
know; for the gallon does more feet How
much less do you find it, for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but perhaps you reckon it
yours; some do. The time, when that
comes-in, is when he gives out the next job.
Who gets it.? Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Advices from Augusta have been
uniformly to the effect that the Sturgis
bill was dead, so that its passage by the
Senate last week was something OF a
surprise. A further surprise was the
size of the vote in it's favor-23 to 5. 1t
was to come up in the House yesterday
and it's passage by that body was re-
garded as assured. The Journal has op-
posed this bill because it is opposed to
the creation of officials to perform du-
ties for which other officials, sworn to
enforce the laws, have been elected. If
they fail to do their duty it would have
the Governor empowered to remove
them and appoint others in their stead;
for while the Republican party is
pledged to the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory laws it is also pledged to
economy in State affairs, and the ex-
pense of this commission is variously
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000
per annum. But if this is the only way
in which a strict enforcement of the
prohibitory laws can be secured, the
expense should be a minor considera-
ton. The Republican party must keep
its pledges. No one imbued with prin-
ciples of integrity and morality can
have any respect for man who does
not keep his word. The same test
should apply to political parties. When
party invites the supLor. of the peo-
pie on a platform which specifically
promises to do certain things it should
keep those pledges.
