The New York Public has made its an
nual comparison of prices of the leading ar
tices of consumption and finds that an
average decline of ten per cent. has taken
place during the year. The prices are now
on level with 1850. The silver men and
greenbackers, who say they are working in
the interest Of consumers, are doing their
best to send prices up again.

THE proposition to appropriate $125, 900
for the building of new insane hospital
ought not to pass. Whenever it becomes inn
peratively necessary to have new hospital
the present State House should be remodeled
and used for the purpose. The capital should
then be removed to Portland-a change which
would be greatly for the convenience and
comfort of all parts of the state, excepting
only Kennebec county. We hope that no
legislator who hopes for better things in the
way of a state capital will vote for this ap-
preparation which will tend to Indefinitely
postpone the removal.

State Temperance Alliance,

1t is thought by very many of the most active
friends OF Temperance that the cause could be great
ly advanced in this State, by more judcious con-
centration of purpose and effort on the part of the
various Temperance organizations, the Church and
the public generally, by association in some State or
gan1aton, similar in plan and scope to that of the
Massachusetts, State Temperance Alliance" which
organization has existed in that State for upwards of
twenty-five years, and embraces in active member
ship, members of all the various Temperance organ
izatons as well as the Clergy and Church of almost
every denomination; receiving and discussing from
fourteen to eighteen thousand dollars every year au-
thenticating and sending out Lecturers into every
portion OF the State arranging for public meeti
and supplying speakers, and closely watching the
Temperance pulse, and providing means and meas
1res to keep it in healthy and vigorous state care
ully scrutipizing all legislation, and ready at all
Zines to sound the alarm when encroachm ents from
the enemy are attempted. With view to organiz-
ing similar Alliance in Maine and auxiliary to the
to the National Temperance Alliance, the under
signed invite the friends of Temperance to meet at
CONGRESS HALL, Portland,
