On Sunday night, the second of january, man
crazed with whiskey entered the room of woman
in this city, and shot her with revolver which in
his madness he had procured for that purpose A
murder was committed, and the assassin was
sieZed. He was tried before jury of his peers,
and found guilty of the highest crime known to the
law. He is a murderer because he took one life
The fate of murderer is hanging by the neck till
he is dead. So two lives will have been sacrificed
to the frenzy which rum carried to the brain. We
suppose the man who sold the murderer his liquor
on that sunday morning lives not far enough away TO
know that the mixture he poured sent that bullet
to the victims heart. The man who awaits the
execution i'll prison is guilty of one murder the
man who sold him that liquid fire which maddened
him to forget everything save the qualification of
his haser passions is guilty Of two murders. We
desire to call the attention to this fact of those who
do not believe mans ''beverageH is suitable sub
crt for legislation. The man who commits a
single murder is hunted to death; the double muir
derer is still selling his poison. The lesson is
pregnant with meaning, and we commend It 20
those who think have temperance legislation
enough and that the law is well enforced. Ban
gor Wing
There seems to be something more than
pregnancy in this case. There is an actual
delivery, and a terrible infant it is for the
Wing and its party TO contemplate. The re-
publican party of Maine has declared itself
as the only one devoted to temperance, and
competent to enact and enforce laws for the
suppression of intemperance. 1t claims tC
be the special guardian Of public morality III
this respect. Every person not a member OF
its party is carefully excluded from place
among the officials whose duty it Is to take
care that the laws are executed. Still, in the
face Of all this profession the Wing volun-
teers the statement that in the city of Bangor,
the rtlm-scler who has melted to double
murder sis still selling his poison
If rum caused this murder, if the Wings
party has undertaken to suppress rum
selling, with laws Of its own enacting, and
looks calmly at the bloody work, is not the
party responsible? In other words has not
the hypocracv and greed Of the republican
party sent that woman to her grave. and
that man on .he road to the gallows? Is not
the Wing responsible for its share in the
murderous business? And if the Wing and
its party, in order to save few votes, re-
frain from putting its prohibition in force,
and still other murders are committed, who
is to be responsible for them? A terrible
blood Outlines is being recorded against
somebody On some party. Whose is it, Mr.
Wing?
And if any reply is made to these com
ments, let the Wing honestly copy our article
as we have its own, and not state that 1.-THE

Sengcr, requiring him to take possession OF all the
within zen days to deliver to the Messenger q
schedule of his creditors and an inventory of his
estate. The schedule and inventory were delivered
to the Marshal, and from the inventory it appeared
that the debtor was possessed of $l5G.50. This
sum had been repeatedly demanded by the Marshal,
it, at last eXcusing hfmsefhy claiming he had spent
it in the support of his family. G. p. Mattocks was
chosen assignee of the bankrupt, and not having
ceved this amount, he pcttioned the court for an
order on the bankrupt to show cause why he had
not pad over the money and that he should be adj
Judge guilty of contempt Of the order OF the court.
This bankrupt brought into court this after

We learn that the bankrupt afterwards, through
the assistance OF his friends paid the amount This
is the first case on which the District Court has
been called upon to enforce compliance with its
