TRIUMPH OF THE MAINE LAW IN MICHIGAN.
The people Of Michigan, by an overwhelming
majority, from twenty 10 twenty-five thousand,
have declared in favor of the principles of the
Maine Liquor Law, and directed its immediate
enforcement. There can no longer be any doubt
but that the people of the country, North, West
and even South, are growing more and more
determined on prohbtory laws which shall
: make thorough work in suppressng the murder.
Gus liquor traffic and we don't believe all the
bugbears and political combinations that can be
f raised to Tighten and frustrsle them, will be
sufficient to deter them FROM sooner or later,
trying the Maine Liquor Law, CT one that shall
be equally Or more efficient.

eggs In many instances poured down on the de.
