The Maine Question and the Main Cues

The Maine Question and the Main Cues
ton.
The Rev. DR.. Nelson, in the Geneva On. "
Courier of the 10th, has an admirable article
on the attempted steal of the State of Maine
and its "perils to that commonwealth, to the
whole republic, to the cause of constitutional
liberty and to the cause of government of the
people, by the people and for the people" In
the course of the article he says
''The most dangerous and the most univer-
sal stimulus to all the morbifc forces which
threaten the life of onr Republic, is alcoholic
stimulus. Everything in depraved human
nature which corrupts debases and endangers
human society in all its forms, and which is
particularly dangerous to free government is
aggravated by the use of intoxicating drinks.
The State of Maine, as State, in the regular
exercise of its governmental power, has done
more to expel this morbi6c element from its
body polite than any other State in the Union.
Thoughtful men watching the political strug-
gle, while it was in progress, reverently
thanked God that it was in Maine rather than
in any other State, seriously believing that
such excitement in any State, at whose capital
whiskey was in power, would sOon have set the
whole country ON fire.
A writer in the New York Independent on
the spot, says:
"There is one most important matter that I
wish to bring out, which was possibly the chief
reason of the peaceful defeat of this foul con-
spiracy. There was no drunkenness, no drink
ing. During all this controversy the rotunda
of the State House was crowded with people
in state of great excitement-faces white
with passion, every fibre of the body tense
with rage; but all were self-restrained from
any act of violence. A gentleman from Ohio
who was present, looking down upon this mass
of people, exclaimed
This is wonderful. There is no other State
in the Union, no other country in the world,
where such spectacle could be seen. Such a
mass of people in state of the greatest ex-
element and exasperation-the Republicans,
feeling themselves shamefully wronged, out
numbering the party of the conspirators more
than five to one-and yet there is no act of vio-
lence. see the reason of it. There is no
sign of drink here. If there were but few
men here excited with liquor, or even one
such man, a bloody fight would be inevitable.
This spectacle is an emphatic vindieation of
your Maine Law, which puts down the grog-
shops and renders drinking disreputable; a
striking proof of the material and moral ben
etits coming from prohibition
DIR. Nelson adds: SIS the new political
party yet to be evolved that is predetermined
to save our country from anarchy, now already
germinant, in the conviction that we must get
this nation sober if we would save it from sui
cide?'
If we do not rescue it from drunkenness it
cannot be saved from suicide. n. d.

SEA LIONS AS TRAvELEEs Tt is evident that the country is uOt gong to suffer for want of the sea lions Although eight of these creatures escaped from ConeY Island a few days ago, eight more have reached New York by rail from the Pacific Coast The sea hon is amphibi0us, and, though not fond of railrosdiug, can travel across the continent when properly housed Tn strong wIcker-work crate. He Is lassooed while taking the fresh air along his native shores. Although so strong and robust he suffers tadly ID confinement, especially when injured by careless handling in the hands OI hIs captors. He is fed very little while in transit, as he is too sullen and em- barassed 10 take his meals, but as soon as put in proper dwelling place, with plenty of salt water, he ravenously deyours raw fish. \ sea lion weighs from three hundred 10 eight hundred pounds. In travelling and fasting while he travels, an eight hundred ponnd one will lose about ten pounds day This loss Is suffered by the absorption of the adipose matter on which the animal lives, as Dr. Tanner, the starvation man, does on his fast. On beglnnIng to eat fish the sea lion revives and gains lp weight. He has fish-like smell, and those who have been driven 1y necessity to ca, his flesh say that is more rank than either whale or shark. The newly arrived sea lions are ihe property Of gentleman who has caught them on speculation ana who Is hawking them around for sale. People wanting sea- lions for pets should apply early. The sea lion makes a worse noise than a chorus of five hundred eats. His voice is deep bass, and he Is liberal With 1t -PhIladelphia IIinns
