The Lewiston (Me.) Journal learns
from physicians of Lewiston and Lisbon
that several more cases of green tea
poisoning, similar to that in Lisbon,
have been reported in Brunswick and
Lewiston. None of them are so severe
as the former case. The boy in the
family at Lisbon, however, who was
supposed to be dying, is now in fair
way to recover. The tea, upon exam
ination, seems to be full of mineral
adulterations, and it seems wicked that
such stuff should be put on the market.
The scare may have the effect to disa-
buse people Of the idea that unknown
pedlers can sell anything but twenty
five-cent tea for twenty-five cents a
pound, and to emphasize the fact that a
dangerously large number of the sixteen
ounces for twenty-five cents may be
something else beside tea.

THE opinion of the Attorney Gen
eraI affecting the pay Of members, may
result in shortening the session of the
Legislature, provided that the per
diem is the leading motive that governs
the members. An early adjournment
under ordinary circumstances would
afford much pleasure TO the people,
but the business of the session is GER
tainly not in condition to justify it at
present. 1t is difficult to imagine
the motives Of the Attorney General
in promulgating his opinion AT 50 late
period, but grave doubts do and
will exist as to their honesty, and the
people may want to know what parti.
cular measure of legislation he desired
to suppress-whether to prevent the
repeal of Boss Quay's Recorder act or
some other important subject claiming

ject. But, after wastiag the session

dred days, the legislators, who receive
seventy.fiye dollars n week, for full
time and service, cannot afford to
strike now, even if they do not get the
ten dollars a day for prolonged ses.
sion. They cannot afford TO adjourn
at the end of hundred days and
leave the important business un-
finished. The duty is imperative, and
they will be held to a strict account
ability. The case is a hard one, but
there is no justification for their swn
neglect Of duty in the expectation Of
additional compensation for work that
should have been performed promptly
within the limited time. An extra
session thus forced, will not relieve
the responsibility, but aggravate It.
