A Question.

Oh, why are the streets so crowded, mother,
And where DO the people go?
The circus is not in town to-day,
Nor any other show.
See how they hurry along, mother!
There are men and women, too.
Can't vou tell me where they are going, mother
Or what are they going to do?
THE ANSWER
Be still, my child, and listen;
They are going to the weiI-flled store
OF Simon Fried, the Clothier,
Where they can get much more,
In these hard times, for their money,
Than anywhere else around.
In no place in or county
Can a better stock be found.

MayOr Wescutt.

We have already given our reasons at
length for the denomination of Mayor Wes-
colt by the Republicans before the eaucuses
OF Wednesday night. The same reasons
hold good for his reelection by the voters OF
Portland next Monday. So far as we can
learn there is general opinion that Mr..
Wescott has discharged the arduous and deli
cate duties of the office of Mayor the past
year with great fidelity and unquestioned in
tegrity. With here and there disappointed
Job seeker and the exception of a small class
of peculiar individuals who show their indie
pendence by voting tickets of their own, the
concurrent opinion of intelligent men of both
parties is that the best interests of the city
can be subserve,. by his reelection. As we
have before stated number of representa-
tive Democrats in the city are ayerse TO the
nomination of party candidate, so well are
they satisfied by Mayor Wescott's first year.
The more partizan elements on partizan
grounds do not agree to this policy, but insist
on making party nomination and will make
an effort to bring out as full vote as possible.
Republicans and others who desire TO con-
tinue the thorough business policy of manag-
ing the city affairs, which Mayor Wescott has
so closely pursued the past year, will see that
their votes are given as they believe ard that
their candidate has substantial majority.

INSURANCE MEETNG.-Yesterday noon a
conference took place at the Aldermen's room,
City Building. between State Commissioner
Nye and the insurance agents of this city in
rel alton to the bill reported in the Legislature
from the Committee on Insurance, imposing a
tax of three per cent on the net income of all
insurance companies not purely mutual. The
opinion of all those present was strongly in op-
position to the bill, and it was decided that as
it was not the bill upon which hearing was
granted, strenuous efforts should be made for a
recDmmittal and that rehearing should be de-
manded. 1t was judged best for the agents to
go to Augusta Monday and protest against the
passage of the bill. No mandatory action was
taken and no delegates chosen.
In the afternoon another meeting was held
at which the bill was discussed No further
action Vas taken. The matter will probably
be brought before the Board of Underwriters
to-day, when delegates may be sent to Angus

The Temperance Meeting.

The Temperance meeting held in G ity Hall
yesterday and last evening, was one of the
largest and most successful held in the State
for several years. For the most part the adj
dresses were full OF practical facts, and the
frequent recurrence of such meetings will
have a great influence in creating healthy
and positive tone In society on this impol tant
subject. Doubtless there is dormant temper
ance sentiment enough in community to
bring about different state of things il it
was called into action. The better portion of
the speakers, those who are conversant with
the people who make up this world, urged
the Importance of creating strong and ag-
gressive public opinion against the evil re-
suits of interlperance. 1t is a matter of re-
gret that speakers were unjust in their cri.i-
cisms and made assertions that have no
foundation in fact. So far as these refer to
individuals we care nothing for them; but
when the reputation of the city is blackeued
by exaggerated and false reports which go out
to the world,we object to such in behalf of its
people, One would think to hear some of
the speakers that nearly every man on the
street is a staggering drunkard. Now any
one who walks the streets of Portland every
day and evening, must know that intoxicated
men are as rare there as in any city
of its size in the country. The other story,
so often repeated. that there are five hundred
places in the city where liquor is sold, is a
gross exaggeration. We have the statement
of a reliable and intelligent officer that there
have not been at any time over one hundred
and fifty places where liquor has been sold,
and these were largely in dwelling houses
where only the smallest quantity was kept.
At present the number is smaller. No good
can come from these stories, and being I'M
true, no man should carelessly give them
currency.
We are happy to add that such random
statements were the exception and that the
general deliberations of the meeting were OF
character to command respect and exert
most salutary influence.
