In the words of the poet Tammany says to John Kelly “There’s no living with thee or without thee.” Englishmen will be treated to some good speaking this week. Premier Salisbury, young Churchill and honest John Bright will be on tile stump. The Boston Globe say . that the adminis tration of President Cleveland is on trial in New York. Just at present it looks like a jury packed to find it guilty. The Nevv York Democrats make a distinc tion between honest and capable men and honest and capable Democrats. It’s a dis tinction very important to their scheme of civil service reform. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Un ion, which begins its business session in this city today, is an organization whose aim and purpose are well known to the people of our city and .State. Its labors in the ten years ive (if gloat good in strengthening the tem perance sentiment (>i the people, raising the fallen and rescuing the weak from the perils of temptntiiin. No right-minded peraon can fail t-i sympathize heartily with the work in which the association is engaged, and to wish that it may be attended with the fullest measure of success. THE PORTLAND ANDOGDENSBURC AGAIN. Last winter a bill was passed by the Maine legislature providing a method of reorganiz ing tlie Portland & (Igdensburg Company after the road should come into the posses sion of the second mortgage bondholders by reason of the foreclosure proceedings then pending in New Hampshire. That bill was fully discussed. A meeting of the citizens of Portland was held at which it was thor oughly considered, and its provisions fully explained by J udge Webb, one of the trus tees of the second mortgage. The opin ion expressed by that meeting was that the reorganization features of the measure were perfectly satisfactory. Objection was made to the provision for the sale of the road, and this was subsequently changed to meet the .view's of Portland merchants, but against the reorganization features there was not one word of complaint. Nobody suggested any other plan, or hint ed that in any other way the interests of tin; city could be so well, or better secured. The Mayor was there, but he broached no other scheme. Subsequently a bill substan tially similar to thatadopted in Maine passed the New Hampshire legislature. The fore closure proceedings were pressed to a favor able termination and everything was going along smoothly under a plan that had been thoroughly discussed and had received the approval of the trustees of the second mort gage bonds, and been ratified by the mer chants of Portland after a full and free discussion, and with a full understanding of its provisions. Precisely when or how or by whom it was discovered that there might be a better way to reorganize the road we cannot say. But the first public intimation of it came from the Mayor last Saturday night in the shape of a letter to the Hon. ^ ' William L. Putnam, it is a little peculiar, to say the least, that after the merchants of Portland had expressly given their sane in UM pniit CHiH.icu UlSL Will ter, UI1U IliiU sent a committee of their own number to Augusta to secure its passage, the Mayor, who has always professed great deference to the opinion of the merchants, should at this late day be found broaching a new scheme, which proposes to throw overboard the plan sanctioned by them. It is also peculiar that in his letter to Mr. Putnam the Mayor avoids asking the latter s opinion as to the rela ■ tive merits of the foreclosure plan and the “mutual agreement” pi an as regards the security of the city’s interests. Last spring the Mayor was so fearful lest the city might lose the road that he advocated an amend ment to the bill then pending! before the legislature, forbidding a sale except by a two-thirds vote of the people. But strangely enough, in his letter to Mr. Putnam he neg lects to ask the question that should have been uppermost in his mind, namely, Which of the two schemes will in your opinion best secure the control of the city in the road? There is another feature in this matter which should not he overlooked, and that is the neglect of the Mayor to call upon the city solicitor for his opinion in regard to this new scheme. Mr. Putnam, as attorney for the second mortgage bondholders, represents not only the city, but other holders of those bonds, whose interests may not he identical with the city’s. In that position Mr. Put nam might feel some hesitation to give advice solely in the interest of the city. But the City Solicitor is the legal advisor of the city, and hence would have regarded the city’s interest alone in this matter. A favor able opinion from Judge Symonds would have greatly assisted the “mutual agree ment” plan. Why did not the Mayor ask for his views? It seems a little strange also that Mr. Deering should forget to ask the opinion of tlie trustees of the second mortgage as well as the trustees’ attorney. Judge Webb and the Hon. C. F. Libby are lawyers of high standing, and an opinion from them that tire “mutual agreement" was better than the foreclosure plan would have boomed the for mer immensely. An endorsement from Mr. J. S. Ricker is valuable no doubt, for he is an able and honorable man, but he is human and therefore liable to be biassed by his interest in other enterprises which are popularly supposed to be antagonistic to the city’s control of the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad. It seems to us exceedingly unfortunate if the Mayor has discovered a better plan of se curing the interest of the city in the Portland & Ogdensburg than that endorsed by the trustees of the second mortgage, the mer chants of Portland and two State legislatures, that he should have neglected to take these, the most natural steps in the world, to con vince the public of its superiority. It is not too late, however, to take them now. MAINE AND THE SMALL POX. The chief topic of the discussion at the last meeting ui ine ouue Board oi neaun was the threatened epidemic of small pox. The State Board realizes that upon itself rests a great responsibility, and it is dis posed to do its full duty. But it feels that two things are absolutely necessary to enable it to do so: the faithful cooperation of the local boards and prompt action on the part of the people themselves. The increasing virulence of the epidemic in Montreal is the more alarming because the disease gained its foothold in summer. Small pox as a general thing, works its ravages in cold weather. If then, four thousand eases have already occurred, what may the num her he when the winter really sets in? The chances of its importation into Maine in crease as the season advances. As the State Board points out, the principal danger lies in the manufacturing places, the lumbering re gions and the cities and towns which are in any way immediately connected with Cana dian towns where the disease has already ap peared. It is in these places that the most active measures of prevention should be tak en. It is to these places that the circulars issued by the State Board of Health have special reference and in these places that their recommendations should especially be carried out. We do not have to contend here with the superstitious pr judice against vaccination, lor which the ignorant French Canadians arc paying so dearly. We have learned that only the vaccinated are on the safe side, while the unvaccinated offer an in vitation to the pestilence. It behooves persons of all classes to be watchful. People should remember that, at such a time, in looking out for themselves they are, at the same time, looking out for their neighbors, and thus doing a public good. ANIUSErUJEIVTS.
