The Cider Law to be Intensified

The Gardiner Home Journal, one of the
prohibition papers OF the State, specially
devoted to that interest, declares the pur-
poses of its friends in the next LegisIa-
tnre. as follows =
If its any consolation TO the "i0urnW, we
think can assure il, that the law far is
cider is concerned will be- changed hy the mex t
legislature. But. fear the change VIII not
make the law any more palatahle to the JOHlt0i
tt4n ii is now, for then doubtless the manut.c-
turers nt worm luire viii not he allowed to
peddIe ii ny the glass, A. now they are.
Temperance men will demand that cider must
be Was -el With other alcoholic beverages, ana
must he placed under the same restrictions, and
we believe all men and women VITO wish their
sons to crow up temperance men win endorse
the demand.
There sou have it. Ci,ier is not to be
sold ri all, and is to be ciassed with
whisky, rum and brandy, ytc, the Pre$i-

fact, that the farmers of Maine may see
what they are to expect, if the radicals
are continued IN power in the State.

Hale at Monroe.

From Winterport Hon. Eugene Hale
proceeded to Monroe, on Thursday, where
he was even more unfortunate than at
the former place. He arrived in the vii
lt9p at about > O'Clock in the afternoon.
Ills posters announcing il meeting there
had preceded him several days, but no
signs Of a meeting greeted his eyes as he
rode through the town. There was a
meeting house and there was school
house but no audience to be seen Look
ing around with an lnquirng gaze he
eSpied blacksmith plying his anvil with
stnrdV blows. Driving up to the smithy
he Inquired where meetings were usually
held in town. The smith looking up
from his work replied; that depends up
on the kind of meeting. Religious meet
ings are held over there in the church
Lectures are given in the school house
Prayer meetings are held around at the
private houses" Upon this the inquirer
became moody and thoughtful and turned
sadly away. The hours passed on, still
no sign of a gathering anywhere i'm the
pretty village Eight O'Clock was now
approaching and matters We're getting
desperate That meeting had been no
tilted there was no mistake, for there We're
the posters staring everybody in the face.
The candidate however, showed good
plnck. A meeting had been notified and
= meeting he was bound to have. So he
opened himself or procured to be opened.
the school house He entered and pa
tiently waited for somebody to come. At
last less than one hundred men, women
and children gathered, less than 40 of
which were voters. The Speaker spoke,
but from beginning to end there was not
elected single cheer or the smallest par
ticle of applause Monroe has heretofore
been strong Republican town. but re-
port says that Uncle Horace has got
tremendous grip on it now. Bangor

The Democratic and Liberal meetings
in the eastern part of the County has been
very successful, AT Winterport. on Mon
day night Fernalds Hall was crowded
f. F. Blaisdell, Esq, Liberal Republican,
presided. Gen. Nickerson and Major
Haggerty made eloquent and iorcible
speeches. AS a demonstration in hith-
erto strongly radical town, the meeting
was splendid success.
At Stockton, on Tuesday evening, not
withstanding the rain, .Wessaumkeag
Hall, was filled by splendid audience
J. G. Lambert, Esq, merchant of the
place and hitherto an active republican,
presided, and gave the reasons for his
adoption of the liberal faith. Major Hag-

wit. He was followed by Gen. Nickerson,

The account Of the riot in Savannah, be
tween whites and negroes, tor the posses
sion OF the street cars, will give an idea
Of the state Of things in the Southern
States. 1t will be found on the outside OF
this paper. Is there any wonder that the
South desires TO change the nationa

rectly promote such scenes?

shell Democratic organ, that has opposed
Greeley ever since his nomination, last
week hoisted his name, and will in future
give its support to that ticket 1t saw
that any other course would tend to give
the election to Grant, and very sensiby
took a wise course.
The Lynn Reporter says: The "strike $

in consequence preparing to remove their fac

their business to better advantage than they now
can in Lynn.

What is to be done with the Cider Ap-
pIes

It i beyond question now that we are
10 have a very large crop of apples with
the usual proportion Of cider apples
What is TO be done with them? 1t is an
rant nonsense, as every farmer knows, to
talk Of using up the cider crop in vinegar,
and the present cider law has almost en-
tirely cnt off the market, as il Is a crime
for any but 4 producer to sell it, No one
will dare to buy more than enough for
his own use and the market in town and
country must be confined to the peddlino
out, to the consumer, of the small Quanti-
ties each may wish to use. Where the
manufacturer has been accustomed to
sell his twenty, fifty or u hundred barrels
at one sale, and get his money, he must
now peddle it ont, from II gallon to Il
barrel, for what he can get What is to
be done with the thousands Of barrels
which will be for sale this fall in Oxford
County alone
If the manufacturer desires to peddle
his cider where will he find his customers ?
Certainly not 1T home, save for a very
small part of his surplus, and he must 90
elsewhere and compete in q gutted mark
ct, know it may be said the cider may
be sold out of the State but who dares buy
it to sell out of the State; and what sort
Of q price will be likely to be obtained
with our home market ruined?
This is a serious matter to farmers inn
poyerished by heavy taxes and bad crops
They need the proceeds of their cider APP
pies to enable them to live and pay their
burdensome expenses.
Heretofore their cider has been an i'm
portant item, To many of them, of the in
come of their farms; but with the present
cider law they may as well let their cider
apples, all OF nearly all, rot upon the
ground. The sales will not pay the ex-
pense of the manufacture OF large guam
tity of cider.
The outlook for the future is still worse
The same fanatics and political knaves
who have brought the present law upon
us have decreed that the law be made
more stringent and that the manufacturer
be prohibited from selling or only allowed
to sell in large quantities. The Govern
or's brother-n-lhw, who speaks by au-
thority, has already issued the mandate,
in the Maine Farmer, that the law be
amended so that the manufacturer shall
not sell less than half II barrel at one sale
Next we shall have entire prohibition I'M
less the farmers veto their fanatcal pro-
ceedings by their votes and teach the po-
litical knaves and trimmers that honesty
pays better than pandering to t;tnaticism
run mad.

The Waterville Mail of last wee

The Watervlle Mail of last week
says
We make bold to declare-and the Belfast
journal may use it to fire the hearts OF the
friends and supporters of the Presidential en-
didate who is specially commended to temper
ance men-that if a cider pedder from neigh
boring town comes into our village, even on a
circus day, and StatiOning himself in front of a
store, proceeds to dispense his worm Juice to
the thirsty, bringing together Il noisy crowd and
creating a public nuisance, HE OUGHT TO
BE SlUELCfIED. If that is treason, make
the most of it.. And we believe. too, that the
better portion of all parties who have no liquor
SFmpathleS, Will commend the officers who do
We cared only to make the Mail come
out of its hole. 1t has done that and more
too. In an ungarded moment it has re-
vealed the radical line of policy toward
the farmers who raise apples for cider
They are to be squelched. Worcester
says that squelch means Ito crush" Then
the farmers who may be engaged in their
legitimate and lawful business, are to be
crushed by the radical sherihs. The cider
law declares that sheriffS shall act under
the direction of the Governor. One day
we hear of an outrageous violation Of the
rights Of a lady in travelling, and the
next of an illegal squelching OF the farm
crs. The Governor has the power to con
troll these officials to another course, but
he doesn't do it.
The fact is that the proceeding against
the two Albion farmers, Andrews and
Stratton, was a gross violation OF their
rights, as well rs of law and Justice The
Mail knows this rs we'll US anybody, and
hence its quibhling IFS But the farmers
Of Maine will know where to place their
ballots in September

HamIin at Searsport.

The Bread and Butter Brigade INDUCED
in a flag raising at Searsporl on the eve
ming of the Sth, when Miss Bickmore, on
behalf OF the ladies, presented Grant and
Wilson flag. The flag was pretty and so
was the lady, and there all comeliness
ended. Mr.. Senator Hamlin's speech was
not a happy effort. A speech that par
takes largely of abuse never is. The
Bread and Butter Brigade, led by Barna-
bus. acted as clacquers, to cheer when
cheers were needed. A young man by
the name Of Washburn, from the West,
made some flat talk about copperheads.
Judge Wording, of Wisconsin, made some
sensible talk to the effect that Greeley
would get more Republican votes than he
wished he would, and the Grant men
must wake up.

to-day Mr.. Black Sees clearly what must
be apparent to every other man of dis
cernment, that the question presented to
the democracy in the coming election is
to be whether they will have Grant or

with it all the Objectionable features of the
administration, with its plundering in

business prosperity. Between them no

stand as a cause of offense. The
charge that the Emperor is annoyed
because the President did not re-
turn the call Of the Grand Duke
when here, is laughed at by the
State Department. The reply is
made that the President neither
makes nor returns calls. When
Prince Arthur was here the question
arose, and the English Minister was
informed that the President could
not break the custom of the govern
ment to make any call whatever
Personally, Of course, any honor or
any courtesy to that Prince or any
other Prince would be paid; but, as
the Chief Magistrate and represent
ative of the people, he could not
with dignity do so. 1t is also felt
that some of the uneasiness or vex-
alton felt by Russia must be attribu-
ted to Minister Curtin. That Min
lister has shown a timidity and want
of nerve unworthy of an American
representative and quite annoying
to the administration. If he
had carried out his instruction at
the outset with any skill or nerve
there would have been no trouble,
and the criticism is freely made
that he was evidently more anxious
to keep his place than to express
the will of the President.
As to the story published in the
Herald that Mr.. Kramer, our Danish
Minister, wounded the feelings of
the Russian Minister at c, p .nhagen
by reading despatch from Mr. Fish
in censure of Mr.. Catacazy, much
surprise is manifested and some in
dignation. No despatch was sent
to MIR. Kramer of this kind, but, on
the other hand, confidential letter
addressed to him, as to all our Min
listers, simply detailing the position
of the government for private infor
nation, Sc that if the question should
ever arise in diplomatic circles the
Minister might informally and intel
Iigently explain the action of his
government. This is constantly
done, and if Mr.. Kramer read such
letter, or dwelt upon its contents
at an unseemty time or in way to
produce offense, he violated the con
fdence of his chief and subjects
himself to recall, or, at least, to a
severe reprimand.

columns not many days since. But
some particulars have been given
that make a key to the whole TRACE

the last time he was deeply under
the influence of liquor; and it was
the smell of his pOGiOns, driving (as
the stuff always does the animals
wild with rage, and unsteadiness in
the lcok with which he had been

his speedy destruction. A drunkard
