TOT 10 BE SATISFIED.

There are two methods of assault on the
laws prohibiting clearinghouse and tip
pling-shops-the one by squarely assault
ing the principle of prohibition, and the
other by pretending to look with favor
upon the principle if it were only executed
according to the ideal standard of perfec-
ton, but practically opposing it because it
is not everywhere and always enforced up
to this standard. The latter method is the
one more generally adopted in this State,
even by those who are earnestly opposed
TO the principle of prohibition. The Ban
gor Wing calls attention to the peculiar
manner. in which the Bangor Democrat
maintains bitter fight against these laws
under any and all circumstances.
Last year the republican mayor of Ban
gor and the sheriff did not enforce the
laws against tippling-shops satisfactorily
to the temperance men. The Democrat
became At once a strong temperance pa
per, and loudly inveighed against these
officers. So earnest was it for an efficient
enforcement of the law prohibiting tip
pling- shops. that some friends of temper
ancs hastily concluded that 1t could be
counted upon as friend of these laws.
When the next State and municipal elec-

tons took place, sheriff was non''na'

MAYOR nominated by the republicans IN
whom the temperance men had the iuii-
est confidence. Immediately the Demo
crat changed its tone, and endeavored to
obtain voters for the democratic candidates
by crying opt that the republican candl-
dates would prove "ram-rods" The Dem
ocrat succeeded in securing the election OF
its candidate for mayor.
The new democratic mayor of Bangor
having neglected TO take single step in
the direction of the enforcement of the
laws against drinking houses and tippling'
shops, the new sheriff began the work in
a most efficient manner. Immediately the
Democrat raised the most excited opposi-
ton, styling the law and its enforcement
as "tyrannical," "oppressve,' undemo-
cratic, Injurious to business" &c. Thus
the opponent of prohibition who found fault
with it last year because it was not well
enoug enforced. now find fault with it be-
cause it is too effectually enforced. The
course of such men reminds one of the
negro who woaldn't single his house
because it rained; and, when the rain
ceased, still refused to single it because
it was fair and there was no need of
shingles. -LeWiSt0n journal.

The Somerset Reporter Of last week
gave an account of the workings of
the Democratic Reform party in that coun-
ty the past two years. First, the Demo
cratic Reform treasurer has proved de-
faulter, but the county will lose nothing,
as his bondsmen are good. In 1873 the
Arson Advocate and Maine Standard
made charges of exhorbitant bills made
by the sheriff, which they termed the

if was elected. 1t was OF course expected
that the official charges of that Office would
be reduced many hundreds of dollars, as
those papers declared that thousands of the
hard earned money of the farmers had
been stolen by the wicked sheriff and dep
uties. Not So promises can be broken
Democratic promises usually are. The
books show that Mr.. Chapman, the Dem
ocratic Reform sheriff. has charged lar
ger amount for the same work than an,
other sheriff ever did, his bills aggregat

The New York Herald of Saturday spoke
editorially as follows of the North Caro-
lima election: when the democratic
legislature of North Carolina last winter
called constitutional conventional there
were not wanting democrats in the
State, as well as in other States, who
thought the act imprudent. 'Ifyou carry
the convention you will have an elephant
on your hands; if you are beaten it will
hurt your party" This was what the oppo-
nents of the movement said. 1t appears
now that the democrats have been beaten,
and for this they have themselves alone to
blame. There was really no need for a
revision Of the State constitution by con-
vention. Both parties are agreed that two
or three changes are required, but they
can be perfected and proposed by the leg
isiature and would undoubtedly be adopt
ed by the people. The feeling among
conservative and prudent men in both
parties in North Carolina was that it was
not well TO held convention now
when opinions are unsettled and ex-
tremsts and shallow theorists were
more likely to rule than wise men.
But the democrats did not leave the 1ues-
ton of a convention to the people. They
were so eager that they made the election
Of delegates imperative. Thereupon the
republicans committed all their candi-
dates to an agreement to vote, on meet
ing. for an immediate adjournment, and

ton. No one need regret it,"

NORTH CAROLINA-GREAT REPUBLI
CAN GAIN.

The election in North Carolina recently
held was for the purpose of electing dele
gates to convention to revise the consti,
tuition of the State At the last session of
the legislature the democrats succeeded in
carrying through measure for consti-
tutional convention. The republicans OPP
posed it, believing that the present consti-
tuition, which was framed since the war
and framed after the plan of the constitu-
ton of New York, needed no revision.
But the the democrats desired certain
changes in the instrument to strengthen
their power in the State, and so having a
majority in the legislature they made the
holding Of the convention imperative.
The election of delegates therefore was
carried by a party vote, the republican
delegates elected being pledged to adjourn
the convention as soon as assembled with.
out revising the constitution. The result
is yet in doubt, but the last reports indicate
that the convention will be very close with
aprobable republican majority. Last year
the democratic majority in the State on
members of Congress was 26,99S. The
result in the election of delegates therefore
shows large gain in the popular vote on
the republican side. AS the convention
was pet democratic measure, there can
be no doubt that the party brought out its
ull strength in the election. The result
is one Of great importance and will be es-
pecially gratifying to republicans all over
the country. Maine sends congratulations
to the true republicans of North Carolina
for their immense gain in the popular vote,
and hopes that they have elected a MAORI
ty Of delegates and defeated the object of
the democratic conspirators. Every re-
publican in Maine rejoices at this result

Our citizens We're awakened from
their slumbers this morning about half
past one o'clock, by the hoarse cry OF
"Fire," caused by the burning of u
row Of four small frame houses on
Pacific avenue, near Houston street.
Three of the houses were occupied by
Mrs. DIR. Thomas, Mrs. Jones and Mr..
Joseph Carson, respectively. The fire
originated in the one occupied by Mrs.
DR.. Thomas, and was, doubtless, the
work of an incendiary, as that lady is
now absent from the city, and the
building, for the time being, was unoc-
cupled. The supposition is that her
house was entered and robbed, and
then fired in order to prevent dis
covery.
The loss on the buildings will not
exceed one thousand dollars, but owing
to the lateness of the hour our reporter
was unable to obtain the losses of the
occupants.
This is the third attempt at incendi-
arism within the past few days. There
seems to be preconcerted plot of some
to fire the city, and the
should look closely into the
and if the guilty parties can
be detected, mete out to them such
as will be warning to
evil-doers in the future.
