THREE CANDIDATEs.-lt is evident
there must be three candidates for Gov
ernor in Maine, next fall. Gov. Garce-
lon has been in Georgia, and there, open
ing his mouth in front of newspaper
reporter, swallowed, and put forever out
of sight all hopes of a Democratic-Nation-
al-Greenback union in Maine. An ex-
change has the following comments upon
his interview:
Gov. Garcelon is the product of Green
back aud Democratic coalition. The two
parties ran separate tickets for Governor,
but they united on some OF the Congress
sional and Legislative nominations. The
ireenback diversion made his election by
the Legislature possible. Therefore, 1t
was with delicious assurance that he told
the Georgia reporter that the Democrats OF
Maine were for hard money; and when he
added that the Grcenback party was ian
intermediate station" for the temporary
entertainment of men who want To pass
from the Republican party TO the Dcmoc-
racv. he must have left the hapleSS inter
viewer in n state of mental confusion quite
equal 10 his own. Here was Democratic
Governor, a conSorter with GrecnbackerS,
and friendly to Greenbackism As a bridge
over which TO pass into the Democratic
party. vet claiming 10 be firm supporter
of hard money and unalterably opposed to
an irredeemable currency.
The Governor fully commits himself
and MS party TO "hard money This
action will certainly prevent his nomina-
ton by Greenback convention, for many
members of that party are honestly COM
batting what they believe to be a national
evil. Mr.. Garcelon's success in obtaining
the Gubernatorial chair entities him to a
denomination by the Democrats. The
only way to prevent triangular fight, Is
for Garcelon TO decline to serve longer,
and for the Democratic party TO make no
nominations. Dead as the Democratic
party is in Maine, we are satisfied it will
not thus give up its organization, when
national supremacy is so close at hand,
and be merged in an insignificant third
party.

EAST BUCKFIELD, May 2l.-Thc Corner
at this place was long known As Federal
Corner, a name given by the early settlers
of the district in political excitement. 1t

schoolhouSe and church. First house built
By James Skillings tifty-eight years ago ;
second house soon after by Isaac Parsons
4 part of this building was used for store
where hogsheads Of alcoholic drinks were
sold, to add strength to the body and vigor
to the brain. II was converted ten years
ago into lodge room for the Crystal Wave
Good Templars. The SchoolhouSe was
built in 1868, near the spot where the old
one was destroyed by lire. The house of
worship was built forty-hve years ago rs a
Union church, and occupied the most of
the time by large and powerful society of
Free Baptists. By removal, death, and
other causes, the society grew feeble, and
the doors of the church were closed on the
Sabbath. Within two years the house has

This is practically enough to support life
for year. IF the practice of drinking
were not so universal, we would hear a
deeper and more prolonged wall concern
ing this extravagance-and with better
foundation than we now have concerning
the oppression Of capitalists-Congress
would be appealed to, and asked to sup
press an evil which took bread from the
mouths of laboring men, and starved
their children. The laborer who receives
one dollar per day, and supports family
of six on his income, if given his share
of the rum money, would find himself
able to live on better fare than bread and
water. An evil which enters every fam
ily, and which involves such fabulous
sums, is fully entitled to all the attention
it is likely to receive from Congress.

THE MAINE STATE PRISON.

EVERYBODY knows that the State Prison
under Warden Rice has been ably and judi
ciously managed. Reports recently pub
lished have stated that an over valuation or
the stock at the State Prison have been
made to make it appear that the prison had
been self-sustaining when the contrary was
the case. There are the best reasons FOR
believing that no such over valuation has
been made The valuation was made last
December by the Inspectors, Hon. Rufus
Prince of Turner, Hon. \. j. Billings or
Freedom and Hon. 4. Gushing OF Camden,
the latter a prominent Democrat. These
inspectors are all men of character such as
would stoop TO no such base proceedings
in the discharge of their official duties, and
the insinuation of anything of the kind Is
base SANDER On the superstition that
too high valuation of stock had been
made at the State Prison making its iinan-
cial condition appear In too favorable
light and too complimentary TO Warden
Rice's management, board OF six sex
perts" has been sent there by the green
back-democratic coalition TO investigate,
make low estimate OF stock and prepare
the way for the successor of Warden Rice
to make a good showing at the end Of the
wear by having higher valuation taken.
This seems to be the programme in brief.
What the authority is for the sending and
noyment of such board OF "experts" is
among the things that doth not yet appear.
Warden Rice for sixteen years managed
the prison with marked ability and made
sales of carriages, harnesses, boots and so
forth amounting to over one million dol
lars, while during the ten years previous 10
his taking charge the total sales amounted
to $50, 800. 26, which is less than the sales
made in the single year of 1873. Warden
Rice has done well and If his successor
does as well the people will have cause 70
congratulate themselves upon the posses
sion of a good warden.-Let7tston Jo"rna'.

SUMNER.-The fine dry weather has
afforded farmers an excellent opportunity
for working the soil, which they have not
been slow TO improve. Fully an average
amount Of seed will be placed in the ground
excepting potatoes. Potato bugs have
been seen loafing around with sad counte-
nanceS anxiously awaiting the appearance
of the tops. Eternal vigilance will be the
price of the crop this season no doubt. In
blowing old potato ground this spring we
found an abundance of beetles for seed.

TEMPERANCE IN CONGRESS.

The importance Of liquor traffic and It's
influence upon the welfare Of our people,
has al last attracted the attention Of Con-
greSs, and received the notice 10 which
i; Is entitled. Last week the House of
Representatives accepted a committees
report which provided for standing
committee Of nine 20 receive all papers
and petitions relating to Temperance.
This Is a small matter, but as the first
step toward any reform Is the most i'm
portant, this action IS entitled 70 more
than passing notice. Mr.. FRYE, our
Representative, who has seen the work
ings of prohibitory law. and who knows
as well as any man It's influence on COM
munity, has taken deep and active inter
est. and to his influence, largely. are we
indebted for this recognition IN Congress.
Maine IS known throughout the Union,
and in foreign countries, as State where
intoxicating liquors are outlawed: and
her influence in the cause of temperance
Is very powerful Mr.. Frye's presenta-
ton Of the case-as experience in Maine
would allow him 10 make positive state
ments-has shown this Indifferent body
of congressman. that there Is vast diff
ference between those States where liquor
Is freely used, and those in which the
sale is outlawed. The difference Is so
great that the general government should
look at the question as one which affects
the national life. If Congress Is TO give
attention 70 eight hour laws. 10 agricul-
ture, to ship building, and to other
mechanical and industrial interests, it
certainly should not neglect this important
industry, and note its effect upon the
people. Those who have never seen the
figures. have little idea Of its magnitude.
The Internal Revenue Department shows
that for the year ending last June, there
were consumed Of fermented liquors 81,
465, 900 gallons, or about seven gallons
70 each man, woman and child IN the
country. This, with the other intOxicat-
inc beverages, cost the people of the
United States, according to the estimate
of the Commissioner, $3.50, OOO,OO a
year, or slS.25 per capita. The figures
show that the American people are drink
ing less whiskey and more beer than IN the
previous year--the falling off Of whiSkey
consumed the past year being 6,52O,O0O
gallons compared with the fiscal year OF
1877. and an increase Of 1900, 900 Of
beer. This immense sum of money
would pay the National debt in about
three wears, and would provide two bar
pels of good -four for each inhabitant.
