A PURELY "FIAT" MEETING.
The Proposed Greenback Boom Falls
Flat.

The Greenbackers advertised meeting at
City Hall last evening, to be addressed by two
sHons, both to fame unknown, but who
were represented to be good speakers And
all through the day yesterday Greenbackers
wandered about, telling what an intellectual
treat was in store for all who might attend,
and predicting that Rice and Burrows would
not only be answered, but be demolished The
time came, but no band played In front oil the
City Hail. and one by one the Greenbackers
came up the steps, and were informed that the
meeting would be purely fiat one, and
that the speakers would not appear. Colonel
Montgomery and Mr.. King were reported out
of town, but the Greenbackers who remem-
bered how that Mr.. King had advertised
discussion with John Smith, who proved to
be Mr.. King himself, were not to blame for
thinking that the whole affair was merely an
attempt to get out a crowd to listen to the
Colonel and the eloquent King. The most
thorough search among the hotels failed to
show the presence of the distinguished speak
ers, but leading Greenbacker explained that
the aforesaid speakers had been forced to re-
ply eve cannot come" Determined to have
meeting in any case, the committee then
sent dispatches to General Butler, Judge
Kelley, Brick Pomeroy, and Daniel Pratt,
G. A. T., imploring them to come and help
their distressed Portland brethren, but all
replied that they could not come, while George
Francis Train is understood to have sent the
following despatch:
"Can't come. Make it fiat meeting; COM
mune with the future, think of nothing, that
is. of the Greenback party, and the arguments
contained in the editorials of the Argus and
be happy"
The advice was accepted, and the rally was
the most successful of the campaign.

Another Lie Nailed.

D1DDEFORD, Maine, Aug. 20, 1919
MR.. EDITOR: Sir The Argus of this date
concludes an editorial with the statement that
a gentleman from Washington who has made
several speeches for the Republicans in York
county admits Republican "defeat to be inevi-
table,
/ know Of no gentleman from Washington
who has spoken in several towns in York
county for the Republicans except the sub
scriber, and if the foregoing statement refers to
him it is false. 1 have visited a good many
towns in York county during the last two
weeks and have gathered some information
about the political outlook.
First, I have not been able to learn of a sim
gle instance where Republican has gone over
to either of the other parties.
Second 1 have found scores of instances
where Republican Greenbackers have re-
turned to the old party and are hard at work.
Third, 1 have met a considerable number of
hard-money Democrats who ayow their inten-
ton of voting the Republican ticket.
Fourth, have everywhere found the Re-
publicans harmonious and wide awake.
Upon these grounds / venture to predict
the Republican party will elect Daniel f. Da-
Wis to be Governor by good round majority.

The Maine Law.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the PRESS of Monday l
am represented as having said, Portland
is the place where rum is sold in this State.
1t is sold in every other town, but not so ex-
tensively."
do not see how your reporter could have
misunderstood what / said, as it was emphati-
cally the exact reverse of that. 1 emphasized
the declaration that in more than three-fourths
of the State the liquor traffic is absolutely I'M
known. In all our rural districts, in our
smaller towns and villages, there are no grog
shops, open or secret, The traffic is confined
to Portland and to other large towns, where it
is carried ON secretly and with great caution,
and mostly by the vilest part OF our foreign
population, except in Bangor, where the low
moral and religious tone warrants the rum
sellers in carrying on the the trade boldly.
Your reporter omitted to say that the Old
Orchard audience was considered to consist OF
1000 to 5000 persons; that the meeting was
or aat success and that petition to the Legis-
3fnre for more stringent penalties against the
trade ,ras unanimously adopted by a rising

GINGER AS A BEvERAGE.-There is natu-
raj craving, by the human palate for ginger in
fluids of demulcent character, and its warm
ing and soothing properties are always recOg-
nized in the genial draught. Its attributes in
allaying thirst are remarkably pronounced, the
resinous quality operating upon the salivary
glands and gratefully allaying the irritation
which prompts to continual drinking. AS an
antidote to intoxication, the use of ginger can
not be too highly commended, and those who
are interested in the temperance cause give it
their most hearty approval. In the form pre-
sented by DR.. SANFORD, in his superior ex-
tract of JAMAICA GINGER, it is most congenial
to the taste, and it is fast becoming delight
full adjunct of home comfort, as well as bene-
fetal household medicine. Its botanical name,
Zingiber, suggests its use as beverage by its
sound.

The State of Business.

Work on the large ship in N. L. Thompson's
yard in Kennebunk looks brisk. A large num-
Der of men are now at work planking this ship.
All the Auburn shoe factories make encour-
aging reports this week The total number of
cases shipped during the week past is 1881
This totals over two hundred cases in excess
of last weeks shipments, and fifty cases more
than we're sent off in the corresponding week
of last year.
The effect OF the improvement in business
has a marked illustration in the advance in
Lewiston manufacturing stocks which has been
continued during the last six months. Hill
stock has advanced from 50 cents to 100;
Franklin from 45 to 80; Androscoggin from 20
to 100; Bates NEW stock) from Ill to 142, and
holders have had two four per cent. dividends
in the meantime. Barker Mill stock has been
disposed of to the extent desired at par and
interest, and it is believed that holders of the
stock will hereafter receive good dividends.
Franklin paid a dividend in July as well as all
the other corporations, and there is little doubt
that dividends will continue, and that the Con-
tinental will fall into line in January. 1t is
expected that the Lincoln Mill (the only mill
in the county not running at the present time)
will start up very soon.

Sabbath Dissertation.

Mr.. Ed al notice in this week Trans
crint a communication and editorial comment
thereon relating to the disgraceful affair on
Peaks Island last Sabbath, which am glad to
see noticed in such an influential and well-con-
Quoted journal This Sabbath dissertation by
the steamboats, in carrying large crowds of the
drunken roughs of the city to the island on
that day, in direct violation of the law of the
State, to fill themselves with liquor at the four
or five grog shops there kept, and insult, terri
rify and abuse any resident of the island or
stranger from abroad who may chance to fall
in their way cannot be too severely or public
ly condemned.
A large majority of the inhabitants OF the is
land, las well as the strangers from abroad tempo
rarily stopping there are opposed to the running
of the boats on the Sabbath and it is to be hoped
that the city authorities will take measures to
have the law enforced and a stop put to this
disgraceful business. H.

;" BOWDOINHAM, Aug. y.
Mr.. Zacheus Varney, of this town, was badly
injured last evening by being thrown from a
wagon. Mr.. Varney was returning from Bath,
and when near the village the horse stumbled
and broke both shafts, and having nothing to
direct the carriage, he was thrown violently
over the head of another gentleman sitting
upon the same seat, striking upon the head
near the right temple, making fearful wound,
and it is feared he is internally injured. Mr..
Narney, a few years ago, was injured by fall
ing under a heavy log in Oxford county, and
rolled over a number of times and jammed
badly, so he was under medical treatment
about two years.
The extent of his injuries cannot at this time
be ascertained. Mr.. Varney has the sympathy

The Steamer Cambridge.

The piece of board referred to bearing the
steamer Cambridge's name was broken OIL
from one of the paddle-boxes while the Cam
bridge was on her way to Bangor last Saturday.
The sea was running very high at the time'
and as the lower part of the side of the paddle
boxes were sealed up tight, that part upon
which the name was painted was knocked
from its place by wave that found its way in
side of the wheel. Since then the paddle
boxes have both been covered by boards left
partially open, so that the water can make its
