The Toronto Globe has two cOrrespon-
dents, Il prohibitlonist and an anti-pro-
hibitionlst, writing up the workings of
the prohibition law IN Maine. They
show that in some parts Of Maine, as
Bangor for instance, the law is not strict
ly enforced, while in others, as in Lewis
ton and Auburn. it is strictly enforced.
The correspondents tested this by trying,
in all sorts of ways, to get liquor. The
result, on the whole, seems to be favOra-
BILE TO prohibit. Thus the statistics show
that in Lewiston and Auburn the num-
Der of arrests per 1000 inhabitants is
but 3: in Bangor where the
law is slackly enforced the
number of arrests for drunken
ness per 1000 inhabitants is IS; in Low
ell, Massachusetts, under the license sys-
ten the number of arrests for drunken
ness per 1000 inhabitants is 30. OF the
Maine cities Lewiston AMI Auburn have
the worst class of population, it being
composed largely of foreign employees
in factories. In Bangor the population
is mostly native, and their general ap-
pearance indicates greater thrift. Yet
under the tax execution of the prohibit
tion law Lewiston and Auburn make
the best showing 50 far as drunkenness
is concerned. These facts are likely to
make some impression in Canada as well
as elsewhere.

of our bonds; perhaps little more than
that. The question for the people of the
county to consider is, whether it would
be best TO decrease our debt 100000 and
our annual tax levy OF 81 900 to pay the
interest on that amount. If this were
accomplished, We would reduce
our railroad debt TO $4,000, and
would have realized $25l 900 from the
sale of our railroad stock, which would
be much more than Il was expected we
would realize when we voted the bonds
dozen years ago.
We have no means Of knowing the
prospects of this stock on the market, a
to whether IT is liable to increase or de
crease in value, and are not prepared u

stock should come 10 vote. We shall

Floods.


OMAHA, NEB., April 1S.-The Mis-
souri, is again rising at this point, about
two and one half feet since yesterday
morning. and beginning again to over
flow the bottom land. It is believed the
rise was caused by the warm weather of
the last three days melting the snow in
nothern Nebraska and northern Iowa,
and that tributary streams are running
over the banks. The report from Sioux
City is that the river rose there three
feet since last night and is still rising
Logan valley, in the northern part of
Nebraska is being inundated by the sud-
den rise of the Logan river. This re-
gion is rich farming country and some
considerable damage may be done. Sew
eral railroad washOuts have occurred and
telegraphic communication has been
cut off. Omaha lumber men fear that
the Missouri river will rise to its former
recent height, and this afternoon they
were busy in putting booms around
yards to hold their lumber.
Steps are being taken IN Omaha to
send relief to sufferers from the flood in
northern Nebraska and Dakota. The
finance committee today raised nearly
three thousand dollars cash, of which
amount Samuel j. TIlden contributed
two hundred and fifty dollars by TEL
egram.
MILWAUKEE, April 18.-Specials to
the Republican from the interior of
Wisconsin report alarming floods Al
FOn du Lac the river is q raging torrent.
At 5 O'Clock, this afternoon, the river
was q fearful sight. The water had
OVERLOOKED the banks and submerged q
great many of the streets. The entire
western portion of the city is under
water which is still rising. Families in
the third, fourth, sixth and seventh
wards have been compelled to evacuate
their premises. and the lumber yards
along the river are converted into float
ing wood yards. Fortunately, none of
the city bridges have been washed away.
In some localities, the streets are being
navigated with boats.
The Republican special from Water
town says: Rock river has risen five
feet in the past two days, causing a sud-
den break up of the ice which comes
down in large masses.
Specials to the Republican continue to
come in from all parts of the state. The
rivers all through the southern half of
Wisconsin are rising remarkably fast and
trains on all lines are more or less de-

Hon. George A. Crawford, of Kansas
one OF the commissioners of the worlds
fair, informs a New York Tribune re-
porter that he has fears the fair will not
be a success. The commissioners of the
fair offered TO raise 100000 If the
transportation companies aud the resi-
dents OF New York city would each raise
100000. Both the later have failed
tn come to time, and the commissioners
have not felt called upon to make their
offer good. There does not seem to be
much interest in the matter on the part
of those from which much was expected
in financial way. We guess the great
worlds fair in New York, about which
so much has been said for two or three
years, will end in talk.

ST. LOUIS, April 16.-The demand of
mechanics for higher wages is becoming
almost general in the city. At least all
those trades directly connected with the
construction of buildings of all kinds
are moving in the matter, and no doubt
will be followed by others. The carpen-
tiers, bricklayers and masons having made
demands, which, in many instances have
been complied with, the plasterers have
now notified their bosses that they must
have an advance from $3.50 TO 400 per
day after May list, or they will strike.
