Those who expected that the work of
rebuilding San Francisco would be the
matter of only a few months are learn
ing their mistake. The situation is
much more complicated than was that
of Chicago or Boston after their great
fires where the burned places were Of
wood and left only ashes behind. In
San Francisco there are huge piles of
stone, brick and twisted iron frame
work, so that it will require at least
six months more to clear away the de-
bris. The rebuilding yet accomplished
has been almost wholly of temporary
character. The banks have rooted over
one or two stories of their burned
buildings, but in the main the business
structures that have gone up are mere
ly temporary frame buildings. At least
10 years, say those who have looked
over the ground. will be required before
San Francisco will be able to regain
what she has lost. But plenty of per-
manent work is in progress. There are
I'll such buildings under construction,
and work is being done on other build
ings valued at $4,000, 900. while there
are 10000 men employed at construction
work, and 125 carloads of debris are be-
ing removed from the city daily.

Waldo County.
belfast JournaD.

Waldo county retains her place in
the Republican column; by reduced
majority, it is true, but in view of the
changes elsewhere and the determined
efforts of the Democrats we have good
grounds for rejoicing. There are in
Waldo county too many law-abiding.
Christian people, too many veterans
who testified to their love of country
on Southern battlefields, to allow the
control of affairs to pass into the hands
of the enemies of law and order. Re-
publican defections We're largely offset
by Democratic accessions. 1t was not
a question of mentor nothing deroga-
tory is to be said of the opposing cam
dates-but of principles; and all good
citizens must feel that it is cause for
congratulation that the decision was

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Woe of Oliver O.
(Rockland Courier-GazetteO

(ROckland COurier-GaZette.)
The trouble with the Opinion editor
appears to be that in the rosy atmcs-
phere of Cyrus Davis newspaper office
he actually grew to believing that
Maine was going Democratic. So he
came home to the bosom of his own
paper with great array of ROSTERS
specially ordered to celebrate the eX-
pected victory. 1t was too bad that the
ROSTERS couldn't fulfill their intended
purpose. for they look very sickly as
now printed, with no victory to make
their use apparent; but the editor
makes up for that by bitter and abu-
sive attack upon the Rockland clergy
men, Governor Cobb, Republicans gen.
orally, in fact everybody who cOnspired
to render the use of those new ROSTERS
futile. With the Opinion in this frame
of mind and Mr.. Daviss paper contin-
uing darkly to claim a victory through
a recount, one may gather something
of the disappointment that has come
10 Cyrus and his first lieutenant.

A good story has reached Rumfcrd
Falls of the efforts of a Farmers
line" to locate trouble in the telephone
service. The telephone line extended
several miles into the country, accomo-
dating number of farmers. But
every afternoon, regular as the noon
hour passed, the entire line was out Of
commission for three hours and no one
could discover the trouble. The repair
crew inspected every inch of the line
and worked several days trying to To-
cate the difficulty. This did not avail,
and at last the inspector began to pay
unexpected visits along the line, hop
ing to learn the trouble in this way.
Sure enough, as he entered a doorway
on the line of the wire, unannounced,
he found the trouble and found it
quick. For there, seated before her
machine. sewing for dear life, was the
housewife--and she had the telephone
receiver close against her ear, and
Kept there by her kitchen apron, which
she had bound about her head and the
receiver until the instrument was held
SO securely in place that she lost no
word of all the conversation which was
carried on among the several sub
scriberS on the line.

John Alexander Dowie. the Elijah

up big debts before, but probably none

A Fair Count.

(WaterVllle Mall.)
In it's issue of September 18th, the
Waterville Morning Sentinel stated in
glaring headlines THE Maine election
is in doubt During the same day an
Augusta dispatch to the papers of the
state said: Cyrus w. Davis. the de-
feated Democratic candidate for gov
ernOr, today over the telephone eX-
pressed his hearty congratulations to
Governor Cobb upon his election"
1t is evident that in several instances
the contests were very close and it
may be that several recounts will oc-
cur. but the Sentinel is not justified in
its efforts to create the impression now
that the Republican party of Maine
desires to defeat the will of the voters
in a single case. The Republican par
ty, for half a century has championed
a free ballot and a fair count and it
does not go back on it's traditions in
this off year of 1906. The Republican
party down here in the good old State
of Maine does not care to stain It's
record of fairness and progress with
any count out" business. That sort
of reputation is enjoyed by the voters
who do not follow the standard OF Lin
coin. If any changes are made from
the face of the returns, as already
published. it will be due to the fact
that honest errors have been made by
local election officers and not to any
DESIRE on the part of the party in pow
err. to deprive any individual candidate
Cf an office to which he has been elect
| ed.
The agonized wall of the Sentinel to
the effect that somebody on this side
may contemplate repeating the history
of 1879 will call forth very little COM
mendation from members of either
party. Even a continuance of control
of the State government would not he

turn, but that such suspicious should
be lurking about the minds of The
