The NIaIne Law In Maine.

Certain religious newspapers, and notably
the Waterman of Boston, are discussing the
status Of the Maine law in relation to its eff
fectveness in Maine The Waterman gives
the evidence with great fullness and entire
impartiality on both sides of the question.
Editorially that paper favors the prohibitory
law, contending that there is no doubt that
on a large scale the law works successfully.
The testimony in behalf of the law is that the
traffic in intoxicating liquors is well-nigh sup
pressed in the rural districts, and that there
has been marked reform in the habits of the
people, while in the cities and large towns the
improvement although less, is real II is
said that cub-rooms exist in only two cities
of the State, and in them not so numerously
as in many cities of similar size in license
States. That while there is drinking of in
-toxcating liquors in Maine, there is not so
much of it as in former years, and that the
change should be attributed to the prohibitory
law. The argument is that so far from
being discouraged because the law is not full
ly enforced, the friends of prohibition should
be animated by what has been accomplished
to enact still more deterrent statutes and pro-
vide still greater means Of their enforcement
In short, that the direction is right, but that
the measure may well be, and ought to be,
more severe.
On the other hand, the correspondent of
lut hhlCulllhll, NnO IL uON EtllyluB W hpllt
criticisms upon his former statements in that
paper, proffers some statistics which must be
considered if one would form q judicial opin-
ion as to the merits of the case In Bidde-
ford there are eighty licensed liquor shops
The liquor saloons are estimated to be from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fif-
ty and the allegation is that no serious Mt
tempts are made TO suppress them. That in
fact in Biddeford, as in Bangor, the Maine
law is practically imperative. In Portland
one Of the hotel keepers said that he sold
liquor to his travelling guests could not keep
his house open without so doing and that the
authorities did not disturb him. There are
four deputy sherifTs engaged exclusively in
the suppression Of the liquor traffic yet one
of the Portland policemen said to this CORES
pondcnt: ANY one who wished to get
liquor in Portland could get it, aud that with
out trouble, and could get all he could pay
for" A young man whose truthfulness was
vouched for by his father, an official member
Of one Of the prominent churches, told this
correspondent that he could drive him to 80
saloons in half an hour. On one street alone
there are probably fifty places where liquor is
sold. A gentleman trusted by the authorities
and 10y Neal Dow, declared that, there is
more liquor sold in Portland to-day than ever
before" And there are eighty clubs in Port
land. The competency and credibility of this
correspondent are vouched for by the appear
ance of his communications in the Watch
man. Providence J0urRdL

Several of the friends of Henry Bailey
paid him visit Tuesday, April LIST, it being
his ninetieth birthday, Mr.. Bailey is the old
est man in town, and can walk rs far and do
as much work as most men at seventy. Mr.
L. b. Ewing, of Boston, who with brother
and sister were reared by Mr.. Bailey, was
present, bringing with him nice lot of straw
berries, besides other presents. Several Of
the company carried small tokens of regard
and one of the number contributed the fol-
lowing lines;
Dear aged friend to-day with cheerful hearts we're
To greet you at your pleasant wsyside home;
To celebrate your ninetieth anniversary day,
So seldom reached by travellers on the way.
When, in your youth full days, the records say,
You welded one whose maiden name was Gray;
A loving bride, fAth ful wife she proved,
And both in word an deed, was always doing good.
All those that Providence brought to your door
We're ever gladly welcomed to your store;
With willing hand she gave, nor did her bounty
hoard:
In deeds Of charity her life seemed running DER.
Nearly seventeen years this course has run
Since she quit the earthly for a heavenly home.
Soon you'll join her on that blissful shore
Where sorrows never come aud partingS are no more
Ninety years Of love, OF sympathy and care;
Ninety years of hope, Of watchfuness aud prayer:
How long they seem as we watch for them to come
We turn the backward look, how swiftly they have
flown.
How oft With deeds OF kindness other hearts you've
cheered
Aud with the needy your earthly blessings shared;
Rejoicing with the Joyful, weeping with those that
mourn,
The burden Of the orphan in sympathy you've borne
Four score years aud ten already have been given;
The sunsets halo brightens which points to home
and heaven.
Long may thy footsteps luger, il such the Fathers
will, .
Till thy cup Of Joy aud gladness He abundanty shall
OIL.

ton of maple sugar producing from eight to

was %, 800, 900 pounds, and the amount in
1873 about 49, 600 900 pounds. The quanti-
ty produced in 1879 is uncertain, but an au-
thorty estimates the quantity at ZOO tons.

STEAM-TowING is to become an accomplish
ed fact along the whole line of the Erie ca
nal during the coming season. The New
York steam cable towing company has Sc
cured control of the towing of the entire
canal, and will open navigation this spring
with animal power only m use between Roch-
ester and Troy. They expect to equip this
section with the cable system by the first of
July, after which animal power will only be
retained at the locks and on the shortest lev
els. The charge for towing is to be at the
old rate of 20 cents mile, with speed of
about three miles an hour until the boatmen
get used to handling boats at this increase of
gait over horse and mule power. The only
change needed to adapt the boats for cable
towing is the substitution of wheel for the
tiller and the addition of an iron Stacking
bar, but the change in the systems themselves
is almost as great as that between the railroad
and the old stage coach.

The PRESENTATION or NIAGARA FALLS is
made the subject Of strong report to the
New York Legislature by James T. Gardner,
superintendent of the state survey, and Fred
crick Law Olmsted. The personal dscom-
fort and unnecessary expense which attend a
visit to the Falls, while all the ground from
which it can be seen is under private owner
ship, are well enough known to the general
public. 1t is less known that the entire char
acter of the Falls and its surroundings are be-
ing altered and ruined by the people who
own its approaches. A paper has disiig
ured and destroyed the surroundings of the
rapids on the American side, and the shore is
lined besides by a host of trumpery
buildings or worse. Trees are disappearing,
bushes are being cut away, and the banks
turned into n trodden pathway. Goat island
is likely in time to pass into the same condi-
ton, and the report outlines the space cover
ing the banks of the river which it will be
necessary for the state to condemn and pur-
chase in order to save the Falls New York
is fortunately state Of great resources, with
no debt to speak Of aud Of a liberal habit
in expenditure The Dominion government
is following out the suggestion of Lord Duff
fern and taking steps to secure the control Of
the Canadian lands adjacent to the falls.

StraIGOn.

1t is said that gentleman from New
Hampshire who bought some timber land in
thistown short time ago stoppeda law office
in Brattleboro, and one of the lawyers asked
him if he intended buying timber land in
Stratton with the expectation that the railroad
would be built. He answered that h e thought
of it. The lawyer then informed him that
he needn't buy land relying on the railroad at
present, that the cars would not run for three
years. The younger member of the firm said
to the gentleman in sort of confidential way,
"we oppose the railroad all we can, but it
will go through, There will be a little delay,
but it will go" This is one way of recon-
mending our land to strangers.
