HOW PROHIBITION PROHIBITS,

In dealing with the question OF political tenl-
],erauce. They inyolyo no issue OF moral
suas,on, md they are reaaily understood.
Faoss and figures Of this sort from tho State
Of Msine are most concluslve Of oil, because
coornivo prohibition LAS been tasted longer
and more thoroughly In that State Ihan Ia
any other. II there is any one city In Maine
that can furnish better evidence as to the
workings Of prohibitory laws than another,
It is Bangor. Tho shersds posse in Bangor
has been particularly busy, % muy be in
fcrre i from tho announcements OF seizures,
whic b, On the 17th Of this month, were pla-
card. I'd upon tho City.1Iall. Above the City
Hall proper is hall where political temper
ance meetings are hold nightly, and
belo y 1t IL lookup where tho
vent icts of stimulants aro incarcerated.
The placards sot forth seizures Of vino, beer,
and strong liquors In glasses, aaaks, bo!tlcs,
and. other small quantities, showing That the
ant horities have been busy not alono in
plr ces where liquor has boon sold, but in
pr ivate closets, 1t not in travelars' carpet
b: lgs. Now for tho practical results Of all
Il lis repressivo vigilance: Tho Prohibitory
Il sw went into effect in Bangor In 1852,
' then The work OF The clergy was turned
,vcr to the sherina to perform, and police
mems clubs took tho place Of Christian per-
suasiou. Appeals To conscience and reason
wore substituted BY arrests, fnes, aud i'm
priaonment. Let ,ls see how this system Of
reforming dr1nkarsls worked. During 1862
tho number OF arrests In Bangor for drunken
uess was 222. From that time on the arrests
for the sAine otIense have increased almost
steadily yoar by year, uutil in 1876 they
amounted to TO drunkonness, having in
twenty-five years Of political prohibition
noarly quadrup1ed!
4 very obscrrant correspondent Of The
Boston Post, whoss letter va print else-
whore, writing from Bangor, gives son,e Of
ihe ,naserial results Of this political law Of
prohibition. lie finds, In the first place,
that two Of tho three prominent hotels have
passed through bankruptcy, owing to tho
severe enforcement Of the reprassivo Inv,
