INTEMPERANCE IN MAINE.


A recent address of Gov. Garcelor
before the Maine temperance conven
tion calls attention to various kinds O
tempanahco which have generally
escaped attention Of reformers in thai
State. lie has been for many year.
an eminent physician Of large practice
and close observer Of the habits o.
the people. He spoke Of the use O.
tobacco rs an increasing evil, especial
ly ameng the young, the tendency O.
which is to cultivate an appetite fol
stronger stimulants, besides being del
eterious itself. In addition to chewing
and smoking, he says snuff.dipping il
becoming almost universal. As be
added himself, this fact many are ig
norant OF and II excites surprise. The
use of opiates has also increased to an
alarming extent. Many q man, he
says, has appeared upon the stand ad'
vocating temperance who had in his
pocket bottle of laudanum or black
drops, which pave the way to an early
grave. The lady, too, carries chloro'
form and ether TO moisten her hand
kerchief with which to allay nervous
excitement. As a practicing physi'
clan and an observer of human nature,
he placed all these forms of intemper.
ance in the same category with the
incorporate use of spirituous liquors,
all Of which demand correction.
There can be no question that opium
eating has increased to a fearful extent.
Not long since from Staunton, Va a
conference of druggists reported that
the ratio of increase of sales in 1877
over 1876 was 95 per cent, in 1877
over the preceding year so per cent.
That was in another section of the
country, and was thought to be a pc.
suliar characteristic Of tho Shenandoah
Valley. But VIC will venture the as.
sertion that the percentage OF increase
in Maine has been quite as large, and
that the sales of druggists since the
prohibltory legislation has been in
vogue will show. If such is the fact,
the change from the use Of intoxicat.
ing liquors TO opium is far from being
an improvement. Gov. Garcelon has
done the people good service by d.
recting attention TO new channels Of
inquiry. If followed up it will be
found that the Maine law has not
been the grand instrument of reform
claimed in its behalf, and that, after
all that can be done and said to correct
personal and social evils, nothing will
be found 80 effective as good example
and an appeal to the higher nature Of
the individual and society.

patton in that sanguinary affair, the
Radical press has never let up in stig
matizing him as Butcher Butler,
and further, maintained that he wai
not legally elected to tho United State,
Senate, but that Corbin was. A part
san committee Of the Senate has beer
at work for two sessions trying Il
make out case against Butler and IN

Senate refused to take up Corbin's
case; the vote standing, 80 nays, Il
% yeas. Among the nays were such
staunch Radicals as Cameron, Of Pa.
Conover, Mathews and Patterson
A" Time" Il has been said, makes al
things even" and in the case of Butlel
the vote oi the Radicals named in hi,

ness Of the charges so persistcntly
brought against him.
