The new city government met and
organized Monday. re-electing practi-
cally all the officers. The only changes
were in the street commissioner and
city physician. The address of the
Mayor gives in condensed form state
ment of the financial condition of the
city, and makes some practical sugges-
lions which should meet with general
commentator. AS to highways he
says: with its large number Of wood
Ell bridges and many miles of plank
walk, and also the present price Of lum-
Der, it will be only a few years before
the present appropriation will be en-
tirely insufficient" The present con-
dition of our streets and walks is due
somewhat to the unwise practice of
neglecting necessary work in order to
carry over an unexpended balance of
the appropriation. If the money APP
propriated for this purpose had been
wisely expended each year our streets
and walks would be in far better con-
dition than they are today, and there
would be less need for increased appro-
priations These are now inevitable in
the near future. The Mayor recon-
mends an extension of the State road
system and an appropriation for the
sewer system this year; and both rec
concentrations should be followed AS
to the lot bought last year for park
he recommends the appointment of
park committee to formulate plan
whereby the city can begin on regu-
lar system that may result in the COM
pletion of park which will be credit
to our city,

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

In the death of brother John Carr and his
estimable wife, Belle Carr, occurring with
ill few days of each other, Seaside Grange
has lost two very worthy members; the
community in which the! so long resided,
highly respectable, kind and oblging neigh
bors; and their daughter, tender and loving
parents.
We realize that death is our common lot
and that what may seem to us a great loss,
is to the departed, n greater gain. Wishing
to perpetuate in substantial form our trib-
ute OF respect to our departed brother and
sister, we respectfully suggest that the
above may be entered upon the records of
this grange, published in The Republican
journal, and copy sent to the daughter.

Everybody knows that the onslaught
upon the State Printer was inspired
and conducted by disappointed poll
ticians and otfice-seekers; and no ex-
pense was spared or means neglected
to iinpugn the integrity of that Of
fetal. The result of the investigation
as embodied in the report of the special
legislative committee on State printing
is just what might be expected from
fair-minded men. 1t states that "both
the printer and the auditor are men of
high character" and that all the work
done for the State ''has been properly
paid for at the statute rate and no
more" Hence the committee says:
1t is proper to say here, in justice to
the printer and the auditor, that there
has been no violation by either of them
of any law of the State, so far as tie
investigation has acquainted us "ith
the facts.

In writing last week of the probabil-
ity that the Canadian Pacific would
make use of the new outlet to the sea
afforded by the B. & A. and Northern
Maine Seaport R. R., we had in mind
the advantages it offered over St. John,
n. B., of shorter haul and avoidance
of 30 foat tides and the difficult and
dangerous navigation of the Bay of
Fundy. Since then we have learned
that ''the port that never freezes" has
had about all the trouble it cares to
have with ice this winter Vessels have
been frozen in and damaged, and at last
advices two barges with coal had been
frozen in there since early in February,
and their cargoes were transferred to
steamer to be forwarded to Portland.

A we'll known Maine railroad man in
speaking of the Northern Maine Sea
port X. r. said that it would not re-
duce the freight business of the Maine
Central at all. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the new line would permit the
Bangor & Aroostook to develop new
lines of industry in Northern Maine,
the product of which could not stand
the cost of long all-rail haul to mar
ket. That is just what The Journal
has commended for from the first. New
business will be created of which the
Maine Central will get its share, and
it will bring increased pros perity t
the State as whole.
"B e Loyal to Boston" is the caption
of an editorial in the Traveller of that
city, and it begins by quoting the home
ly but very true saying, which has come
down to us from the ages, about the
standing of a bird that fouls its own
nest. We quote one paragraph, with
the SUI bstitution of Belfast for Boston:
There are many things in Belfast and
in every other place on top of this
earth, where changes for the better
can be made and must be made, but
the central animating spirit of every
loyal citizen of Belfast should be to al
ways be loyal to your town and never
speak ill of it without good reason.
There is nothing that SO retards the
advancement of town, mentally, NOR
ally and financially, as the lack of such
loyalty.

Do you ever think, when studying
your history, what you would have
done had you been this person or
that? 1t is an easy thing to see where
certain persons made serious mis-
takes, and we naturally think we
would have done differently. If
Julius Caesar had stayed at home that
day instead of going up to the CAPT
tol-if Napoleon had been content
when he was ruler of France, instead
Of trying to control all Europe-if
Benedict Arnold had remained loyal
to his country instead of trying to be-
tray it to the enemy.
