On Tuesday evening Ex-Gov. Dingley
addressed the Paris club at South Paris.
Mr.. DingIey made one of the most can
did and convincing speeches we have
heard this year. He showed that all the
complaints against Republican financial
administration were based on the "iat
idea. To show the evils of paper money
he remarked that in Constantinople he
took a five dollar American gold piece,
and with it purchased twenty-five dollars
of paper money. "If | had waited UNI
til the next day could have got thirty
dollars for it, said he, to show the fiuc-
tuations to which a political currency is
subject. lie touched but lightly on other

Mr.. Pillsbury, printer to the State,

He opened his speech by stating, as a
matter of personal explanation, that he
had no part in the Kingfeld riot, as was
charged by recent speaker This he
did at the request of friends in Norway.

these articles being imported almost
wholly for use in the anu'acture Of

A Temperate Society

has been organized in New York which
Is designed to encourage moderation in
drinking, and does not invite pledges
for total abstinence for all time. Three
different pledges are proposed, one oi
total abstinence for term not exceed
ing one year, one not TO drink intoxi-
eating liquors during business hours
for q specified time, and one not 10
"treat" nor accept "treat" during =
specified time. The society is also to
exert its influence to have tavern keep
ers provide warm stimulating and nour-
ishing beverages, which contain no
alcohol, for those who drink nothing in
texicating, and efforts are to bs made
to establish free or cheap places of re-
creation and amusement, where no in
:oxicating beverages are allowed. The
society is so temperate in the reforms it
proposes that It members should prove
equally temperate In their habits.
There are great numbers of men in our
large cities who could be induced to
take such pledges, but who refuse to
become total abstainers, and 50 make no
attempt to reform.
