HARD TINES FOR THE CoLuRED PEOPLE.-The
Bennc,tsvihc san says: This will he the hard
est winter of any since the war for the colored
laborcrs of the country. Already they are row
ing from place to place begging for work. There
is at present little work to do. The crops are
all gathered. the small grain crops planted, con-
sequcnily the coming winter presents u gloomy
appearance to those whose daily bread depends
entirely upon their daily work. AS usual, the
colored people have laid away nothing for the
winter season. Their cotton picking money was
all spcnt aS fast as made. apparently without n
thought of the dull season which must of neces
sity follow the short crops OF this year.

lions of which the great majority of the
stockholders have not heard.
Of course if the Eastern railroad mana
gers have concluded to reorganize the
Maine Central in their interest, no power
can stop them. They undoubtedly control
a majority of the stock and can outvote all
the other holders combined. Nevertheless,
this fact should not keep away any Maine
Central stockholder from the meeting. The
thing which is IL be done ought not to be
permitted to be done in a corner. The men
who do it should be compelled to take the
full responsibility in the face of protest as

TO the Editor Of the Argus:
Yesterdays issue OF your valuable news
paper contained, in an editorial article, the
following statement:
Sixty years ago delirium tremens was almost an
unknown disease; now every one who drinks much
Maine law liquor is in dagger of it. We say
Maine law liquor because we have been informed
from that entirely credit that the liquor
made for prohbitory States is very different arti-
Gle from that designed for States where it is
nized property and its sale allowed It is to this
aduterated poisonous stuff that the bunting of the
moral ssnsibiites of the drinkers and the increase
Of gross drunkenness are, we doubt not, largely to
be attributed.
As dealers in liquors, we have heretofore re-
garded your Journal as not hostile to our inter-
ests, and we wish to inform you that you have
been grossly imposed upon. we demand that
you publish the name Of your informant who
has slandered as honest and reputable gentle.
men as ever, under great difficulties and dis.
couragements, labored to serve the community
with thoroughly reliable beverages. You ma.
lign Us when you intimate either that we dc
not know where to buy pure liquors, or that
we are SO base as to knowingly deceive
the public by selling adult.rated goods
We deny that the liquor we sell "blunts the
moral sentibilities Of the drinkers, or has al
excessive tendency n-AS-.se selfrTuln tre
mems, and an article calculated to alarm you
readers, (among whom we have many custom
ers),and injure our BUSINESSES what we did no

ia to overthrow the unwise laws which repres
enterprise in our line.
AS an evidence Of our confidence in you

present you with an assortment of sample
from our stock, not doubling that you will con
fess after fair trial that just as goo,
liquor is sold in Maine as elsewhere, an,

DIR. DEWEY.
DR.. Orville Dewey was the highest type of the lib
eral thinkers-as they are called , and Unitarian
ism in this country may be said to have grown from
its childhood with him one of its foremost teach
ers In reading his biography and letters one does
not find very minute critical analysis OF the
process and stages by which he passed from Calvin
ism to Unitarianism. There is nothing like. for
example, the keen, Close vigorous examination
that we find in Dr. Newman's "4pologia Pro Vita
,Sata." The works are as unlike as the two men.
DIR. Dewey, who, though able, well as a noble,
man cannot make great pretentioHs as a theolcgian
finds the Calyanistic Discipline too strict for him. and
the doctrine of the Trinity involving a mystery
which does not comport with his plain, practical,
intellectual habit. So, by what is to him an easy
and natural path, he goes out into what commends
itself to him as freer simpler broader plane of re-
lgious thought and belief. Cardinal Newman on
the other hand the ablest and most scholarly thee
logian of his day, starting from the tenets of the
Church of England in which he was reared, is COM
peled by stern, memorable logic, which he can no
more resist than matter resist the laws of ma
ture to rebuke what he believes to be the heresies
and inconsistencies of the English communion, and
to retire to the bosom of the Mother Church. The
one comes ont of something which he cannot under
stand to be natural and true; the other abandons
something which he thinks he kno,cs to be untrue
and goes into position to which his reasoning up
on the basis of divine revelation forces him, and
from which there is. for him, no escape.
DIR. Dewey's Autobiography and Letters will be
read with interest by all classes of people, and will
be welcome contribution to the Unitarian ltera-
ture; not because they leave any special force or
faithful, conscientious noble and influential life.

New Workers are very much troubled
over the destruction of the Adirondack for
est, which began year ago and is likely to
be continued this winter unless measures
are adopted to prevent. 1t is alleged by ex-
perts that the effect of the destruction of this
forest on the Hudson will be SO serious as to
threaten the commercial supremacy of New
York. An effort will be made to get a bill
through the legislature for its purchase and
preservation by the State
