A Word on the Cider Question

To the Editor of the Kennedec Journal
The apple-growing farmers need not be
alarmed at the representations of the editor
Of the Belfast Journal. lie may make as
much flourish as he pleases with that cider
press cut of his and his statements that the
temperance people are raiding or the interests
Of the farmers. But he never can make in
telligent people see that the severest restric-
tons possible against cider as means of tip
pling really effect the financial value of the
article, so long as it is and must be an article
of commerce, the demand far beyond the sup
ply. Cider vinegar cannot be produced III
quantities anywhere near extensive enough to
meet the demand. In part to make up the
lack, various resorts have been made and
connections called vinegar have been the re-
suit. but for health and taste too the prefer
ence generally is for cider vinegar The
price of this article varies from 20 to 80 cents
per gallon, certainly remunerative enough to
satisfy the producer to vend his cider in this
direction, rather than to peddle it in its alco-
holic state for intoxicating purposes. 1t Is
little use for the Belfast Journal man to say
that cider is not intoxicating. Any analysis
will show from five to ten per cent. OF alco-
hol which is twice the amount in lager beer.
Certainly it is not to be supposed that our
people wish to prohibit the less intoxicating
and encourage the use of the more intoxcat
ing. If such could be supposed, on what
ground? If it be on the ground that this is
the locality of the production of cider, while
of lager beer it is not, then you have suggest
ed principle which would flood every To-
calty with some kind of Intoxicating liquor,
for there is scarce a locality but what, if I'M
restrained, could easily furnish alcohol in
some shape or other. No! this principle is
sufficiently selfish but to be mentioned is to
be despised.
Let no man be deluded by the puerile logic
of the above named Journal, and let no one
be so foolish as to think that the agricultural
interests of Maine would suffer by the pro-
motion of the temperance cause.

Pike VS.. Pike.

The following morsel from the letter o.
James =. Pike to the Tribune last winter is
good doctrine for the Hale men to quote
against Fred Pike in their congressional con-
test.
"The average republican who possesses his
soul in patience, is unmoved by the present
trials of the party. They are no more than
ordinary past experience would lead him to
expect. They are the squalls and head-winds
of the voyage. When the clamor of the al
tercation is over, he expects the party will
meet together and settle their differences by
voting on them. The vote is the only pre-
cipitator. 1t gives color at once. 1t is only
by voting that we can settle the personalities
of politics. If PARTY IS NOT REsoLUTE
ENOUGH IN ITS PURPOSES TO SUPPORT CANDI-
DATES FOR PLACES, WHO ARE SELECTED
BY THE MAJORITY, 1T is NO PARTY, AND
THE INDIVIDUALS OF WHICH 1T Is COMPOSED
WILL FRUsTRATE THEIR OWN OBJECTS"

troubles settled by the war; who would vote
for the repayment to the South fer the slaves
emancipated by the nation; who would vote
for pensions to rebel soldiers. 1t is not an
idle thing to say that the time will come when
these questions will be again mooted in Con-
gress, and it is every mans duty to see to it
that no man is sent into Congress who might
give his votes for these or any other rebel
measures. The democrats have among them
smart business men. They are not going to
put in ninety hundredths of the capital
and not take ninety-nin hundredths of the
dividepds; and Horace Greeley being just
man is not going to withhold from them their
share of the dividends if he is elected.
Therefore can see no reform through the
party supporting him. So far as my influence
is concerned, am with the republican party.

faith, your gods are my gods.

THESHOOTLNG or MR.. CHEESEMAN

THE SHOOTING or MR.. CHEES EMAM.
The Washington Patriot of Tuesday gives
the following particulars of the shooting of
Mr.. Samuel M. Cheeseman in Washington
Monday;
Last evening a shooting affair occurred on
the Island, which will probably result fatally.
1t appears that two weeks ago Messrs Fay &
Bailey, who were the members of the firm
known as the Independent Ice Company, dis
solved copartnershp. Since the dissolution
of the copartnership Mr.. Fay has been en-
gagged in winding up the affairs of the concern.
About week ago Mr.. James i. Cheeseman,
an ice dealer of Maine, and who has supplied
the Independent Ice Company with ice for the
last five years, came to this city and purchased
the interest of Fay & Bailey tor $4,000.
Yesterday, about o'clock, Mr.. Cheeseman
sent colored man with his buggy to the
Ninth street wharf, where the stables of the
company are located. A man named Barney
Wood, who drives an ice wagon, and who is
known to the police as a desperate, had
charge of the stables, and he refused to admit
the horse and buggy to the stable, although
he knew that Cheeseman had bought out the
proprietors of the Independent Ice Company.
The colored man having charge of the horse
and buggy drove back to the office Of the
company, on Pennsylvania avenue, and re-
ported to Mr.. Cheeseman the result of his
colloquy with Barney Wood. Thereupon Mr..
James l.. Cheeseman and MIR. Samuel NJ.
Cheeseman (who had just arrived in the city
to aid his brother in managing the affairs Of
the company, jumped into the buggy and
drove to the Ninth street wharf to ascertain
what was the trouble.
When the brothers arrived at the wharf
they were met by Barney Wood, who still re-
fused to permit the horse and buggy to be
placed in the stable. The elder Cheeseman
explained to Wood that he had become the
proprietor of the business and stable by pur-
chase, but this explanation did not seem to
satisfy Wood. by this time the Msssrs.
Cheeseman had alighted from the buggy and
were standing nearly side by side. Some
angry words passed between the parties, and
Wood raised carbine and fred at James l..
Cheeseman, the shot, however, taking effect
in the groin and thigh of his brother. AS
soon as the shot was fired the elder Cheese
man placed his brother in the buggy and drove
to the Metropolitan Hotel, where the wounded
man was attended by DR.. j. w. Buckley. On
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1872-08-17

removing his clothing it was found that twenty
buckshot had been planted il his right thigh
and three in his abdomen
The shock to the wounded man was such
that DR.. Buckley expressed the opinion that
he would not survive until morning, and
therefore no attempt to probe the wounds or
extract the shot was made. AS soon as posi-
BILE the police were notified OF the occurrence,
and Detective McDevitt was assigned to work
up the case. Wood lives on the 1slaad, but
it had been currently reported that after hav-
ing fired the desperate shot he left the city.
Wood. after committing the act, expressed
his determination not to be arrested alive.
About ii o'clock Lieutenant Gessford and
chief of detective Clarvoe went to the house
of Wood, and on calling upon him to surren-
der were refused admitance The officers
forced the door, whereupon Wood fred shot
at Lieutenant Gessford, but missed him. lie
was then overpowered. The officers got pos
session of Woods weapon, a cavalry carbine,
and having manacled him brought him to po-
lice headquarters, where he was locked up
for hearing before Judge Smell to day.

The Greeley meeting at Augusta was not
much of show, but it was not because eff
orts were lacking to call out an attendance.
Desperate drumming was resorted to by per-
sonal appeals, letters and public advertising.
The following circular which came into our
possession will show who pulled the wires and
how earnestly they urged their bretheren to
come up and help them. 1t is about equal to
the famous secret circular issued by Mr..
Kimball last year. For Spontaneous upris-

takes an immense amount of labor to keep it
on its legs.

The Spirit Of Gree1eyiSnl.

The Spirit of Greeleyism.
II, Mr.. Greeley processes to believe that if
he were elected there would be a young
millennium in this country. Rebels and
LOYAL men would embrace and darkies
and whites disagree no more forever. He
and Jefferson Davis would clasp hands
over the bloody chasm. sinking all the
differences, of the past, and pledging each
other TO abstain from any wicked act in
the days that are to come. His temper
has become SO mellowed with age and
handling the axe at Chappaqua that he is
an angel all but the wings, and who could
resist the gentle influence which he would
carry into the Presidential chair? This
gospel of peace is Mr.. Greeley's fiyorite
doctrine in his stump speeches. lie evil
IDENTIFY thinks it is a good thing. 1t sounds
charmingly Mr.. Greeley has TO wipe his
eyes with his red bandanna when he re-
peats it, and doubtless jefferson Davis
wipes his goggles in sympathy and re-
spouse every time the sage speaks.
But if Mr.. Greeley can exercise such Il
transforming power upon the ku-klux and
rebels rs to change them from murdercrs
defiers of law and order, disloyalists. to
supporters of equal rights and justice, we
should think some of this wonderful ahili-
itv to soothe the savage breast would be
apparent among the democratic gatherings
which meet him in New England. But
there is not the faintest shadow of i'm
provement in the "fierce democratic" un.
der the leadership of the angelic Horace.
We never knew them to get drunken, fight
harder, or exhibit more "cussedness" gen
orally at one of their meetings than at the
recent gathering in this city. 1t was the
most democratic of democratic gatherings
we ever witnessed. 1t seemed as though
Horace's coming brought an influx of ku-
Kluxism and diabolsm. Instead of the
pretty idea of clasping hands with the
South infusing the spirit of peace and
quiet into the multitude, it was overcome
by the spirit of rebellion and bad wfiskey,
turning the streets into Il pandemoniunl
except where the police struggled gallant
ly and kept the ascendency, and the ears
into pens of fighting and bruised gladia-
tors, from which decent and civil people
were glad to escape.
1t is very plain to be seen that the DEM
ocratic party has not improved under its
new leadership. 1t is just what Greeley
described it to be in some of his editorials.
And we may judge from the effect which
Mr.. Greeley's presence and preaching pro-
duce upon the democracy of New Eng
land what his election as President would
have upon the nation. The spirit of ku-
Kluxism and rebellion would have the as
tendency. The gospel of peace would be
overcome by the elements of disorder and
violence that prevail at the South. We
dare say there are those who believed tina,
the democratic party would show signs OF
better things under the new dispensation
but they are disappointed. The general
cry of those who witnessed the Greeley
exhibition is, ''we have seen enough OF
it, we wish no more of Greeleyism.'
