Maine congressman have received many
inquiries in regard to positions in the
public building work that is to be taken
up this spring at Calais, Augusta, Bar
Harbor and elsewhere. 1t should be said,
however, that all these positions are
entirely under civil service, and that they
will be in no cases under charge OF local
men.

Among proposed legislation for the BEN
efit OF the men who fought the Civil war
that Congressman Burleigh has been
favoring this winter is a bill which pro-
vides for more generous recognition of the
volunteer officers OF the war, now OF the
retired list. Gen. John c. Cobb, of Port
land, has recently been in town, in behalf
OF such measure, in which number of
Names volunteer officers are interested.
Gov. Burleigh accompanied him much
around the capitol, introduced him to
members, whose influence would be helm
full, and otherwise did much to start that
bill along toward favorable consideration
Nowadays the governor is beginning to
pay some attention to the plans for the re.
publican congressional campaign. The
House republican caucus the other eve
ming unanimously designated him for an
other term as member of the repu blican
congressional committee, each state hav.
