The TEMPERANCE WORCESTERSHIRE New
York Herald Of Sunday gives the following
account Of meeting in that city on Saturday
evening, on the subject of temperance:-
Sc A new and important political movement
was inaugurated last evening by the temperance
people. Five delegates from each ward were
appointed to a general committee. A strong
platform of temperance principles was adopt
ed, in which the Maine law and all forms of
coercive Legislation are condemned, and the
moral suason policy recommended. The
Maine law of this state was pronounced, a fail
ure by several Of the speakers, and the enact
ment of stringent license law urged. The
Carson League and Temperance Alliance
were severely denounced, and general ward
and city organization advocated. Mr.. Epes
E. Elery presided, and MIR. Nathan Nesbit
explained the object of the movement to be a
thorough reorganization of the temperance
party OF the city and county of New York.
Several important special committees were al
so appointed

q The New York Express says of the
late fusion Rockwell convention in Massachu-
sets -
{" The fusion party is but a froth party of
the day, and hour,-and yearling's life is all
it can hope for. These geographical parties
never did have and never can have any per-
manent being. The Hartford convention Of
New England was but the offspring of pas
sion, and died when that passion was over.
The American people, married and intermar-
ried, trading and intertrading, debtors and
creditors,-with one tongue, and of one race,
can never thus be parted geographically. Let
Wilson try, as in 1S48-and he will fail again
in 1866. What the great Quinceys and the
Otises, of the old Bay State, under the scor-
pion sting of embargoes, and the commercially
destructive war of 1912, could not effect in
New England, the Wilson's cannot,-that is
the political geograp phical separation of New
England from the rest of the Union. Maine
resists at the start, and throws up the flag Of
independence. New Hampshire is certain to
follow, if fusion is installed there,-and thus
will go all the rest, Massachusetts included. %

$4,000 Strong.

The Fusion Party are seeking to draw con-
ISOLATION from the fact that they were able to de-
lude so many into the support of Morrill, and
his party. If we recolect Alright, it is said of
another celebrated military chiefain, whose
exploits somewhat resemble those of this great
general of fnsionist.
The King Of France with 40, 900 men,
Marched up the hill and then marched down again.
We could not deprive our fallen adversaries
of all the consolation they can gather from such
a source. but we think the % King of France
could quite as consistently have felt pride at his
exploit as can they at theirs, and had this King
have tried the adventure over again, it is not
improbable some thousands of the army would
have preferred staying behind. So would it be
if Mr.. Morrill, were again to go over the course.
We doubt not that 10000 at least of those who
voted for Morrill, did it very much as Lucy
Stone got married, {" under protest - and like
her, they will never do so again"
The fact Is, that very many we're forced by
circumstances to vote, against their will, for the
fusion candidate, and now that the shackles are
off, they will never again be found to barter
away their birthrieht for even less than The
mess of pottage.. That 81, 900 will have grown
beautifully less' before another year.-Age.

"Steaming ON the Kennebec. /"

An article published in the Times not long
since, in regard to the early use of steam on
the Kennebec river, has called forth some in
quiry and investigation. The following facts
we gather from communication over the sig
nature of Jonathan Morgan, in the Portland
Advertiser. He says
In 1914, built boat Of about l6 tons at
Alma Being all green hands, and having
never seen any steam machinery, nor drawing,
nor description, the work was SO imperfect
that it answered no purpose and was flung
away. In 1915 built another engine, which
was some better and would do something, but
was too small for any practical use. In 1916
enlarged the capacity of the engine and i'm
proved It, With that could run the boat
about miles an hour, but the boat proved to
De 100 small ior practicable, profitable use and
was abandoned, and sold for a trife-I do not
recollect how much used The propeller
wheel at the stern.
In 1876, went to Brunswick and built a
boat of little over 80 tons, and put an engine
into her with horizontal fue boiler. the water
case being of wood
The writer goes on to state that in the
building of this craft. he became involved 70
the amount of some $I7OO or $500, and tho
boat was claimed by William 4. Weld. Of
Brunswick, who supplied that amount Of
funds. He goes on to state that
The latter part of November, without
Yields leave, [ run the boat to Hallowell to
see if | could raise funds there to pay Weld.
and repair the boat, and was in treaty with the
people there, for that purpose, and should
probably have succeeded if Weld had let me
alone. But the second morning after my ar
rival, Weld appeared and took possession Of
the boat, and SO prevented me. AS the ma
chlnery then was, from Brunswick | made
from four to six miles an hour.
The boat then lay at Shepherds wharf, and
when Weld came aboard and took the boat, |
Immediately abandoned her.
The report adds, that /" she. went down the
river little faster than the water, and came
back against it by the help of oxen attached to
tow-lines on the shore" | had then LETT Hal
lowell and gone to Alma, and know nothing
how they managed her afterwards. If any one
had been aboard capable of managing the ma
chinery, she would have gone, light as she was,
up or down the river, without "tow-lines" or
"oxen." Weld got her back to Brunswick
but how, know not.
The next year Weld failed, and the boat
and machinery were sold, with his other eff
fects, for about $50. Thus ended the whole
enterprise, which with little more aid might
have been advantageous to me and the public.

travellers, and not without success. The last
case of the kind occurred al Cleveland. A
person accused fellow traveller of picking his

train police officer (bogus) arrested him, and
took him TO police court room (also bogus)
where examination was deferred till morning,
upon the defendants leaving 500 as security,
as he had no friends to sign bond. The
500 was a dead loss.
