u enforce the law as it is, while we have IT.
and if we Can get more necessary leglslatlon'
we'll and good. He closed by calling upon ev-
cry man and woman in Maine to take part IN
forwarding this great cause oil temperance:
The next speaRer introduced was Rev. John
Russell OF Michigan, the head of the order of
Good Templars in North America. He said
We all know enough OF the evils OF the evils OF
intemperapce; we are here to devise ways and
means to prevent it. What we want when we
are sick is physician to cure us. We expend
100000 600 annually for educational purposes,
and about $6OO,0o0,000 for grogshops and In
temperance, and there are at least loU,OoO grog
shops in our land, and most OF these are con-
Quoted according to law; that Is, they pay
some kind of license. The system OF col
lecting revenue from the liquor traffic is
disgrace to the country, and ought to be wiped
out. Why not tax thieves aud counterieiters?
We must keep up our temperance lnstltu-
tons, as helps, as props and special agencies
We need to use all our instrumentalties.-
Special evils require special remedies, ana in
temperance is special evil. -zc
We should seek to secure an improved pub
lie sentiment by an earnest application OF all
agencies-the pulpit, the press, the schools,
the platform, &C. We can persuade some to
refrain from drinking intoxicating liquors, and
a Jew to cease manufacturing it, but the men
who sell liquor now are OF the kind that are
hard to be persuaded. AS class they are the
greatest lot OF rascals on Gods EARTH How
SNAIL VIC ucdi Win tutmf law. Lie gov
eminent has but one thing to do, and that is to
prohibit the sale.
In answer to the question-Hov much law
do you wont? L would answer, we want just
enough. We won't enough to stop liquor SELL
Ing. Ii So fine is all that is needed well and
good, and if imprisonment or even hanging is
necessary, that is just the amount needed.
How shall we enforce the law? How dc we
carry on the affairs of government? First
through regularly constituted machinery. We
don't vote as Good Templars, as churches, &C.,
but as politicians. The party that elects the
officers and hasAthe administration of this gev
eminent in the city of Portland or the State, |
sells the whiskey. There are temperance men |
IN either party and Uice versa consequently |
neither party can handle prohibition. We |
should demand of either one or both of the pO- |
lltcal parties to put prohibition in the platform
and support them, but if refused form separ- |
ate party. He thinks neither of the present |
national parties will support prohibition
There are no vital issues between the parties
TO- day. If the better of them is not good
enough to do the work of the day it deserves to
lie. We want the good material in the two
parties to build up the new party. He said he
lid not refer parti cularly to Maine. He con-
inued at considerable length; but we have no4
.oom to outline.

Augusta, Oct. q. Thursday night at De-
roit. Albert Burrill, of Waterville, black
smith for years in the Maine Central Railroad
shops, was so terribly crushed between two
cars that he attempted to shackle, that he died
instantly. He was one of a working party
that was sent thither to get the Pullman cars
that run off the night before on the track and
bring them to VAUDEVILLE. The cars were up
on the track and the construction car backed
down to shackle. but the connecting appara-
tus on the Pullman was so different TO that OF
the ordinary cars, that the cars came together
within three inches crushing Burrill between
them. Burrill was married almost six months
ago. His age was about 80.
