Col. +. y. Dow OF Portland 10 q candi'
date for the position OF Collector OF the
Port, made vacant by the death OF Collec'
tor Morrill,. Col. Dow is we'll known 10
the people OF oxford County, and they
would be glad TO see him promoted TO this
post. He is man OF excellent executive
ability, and as he has always resided In
Portland, he is more familiar with the bus
mess interest Of that city than any other
man named in connection with the place.
As s Republican, he adds another qaalih-
cation for the position. He has always
been true TO the, party, great worker in
its interests, aud is always found on the
right side of sill questions. His services
in the last campaign, when as Secretary OF
OF the State Committee, he attended to all
the details Of the canvass so successfully
carried on, entitle him to party considera-
ton. He is son Of Gen. Neal Dow, the orig
inator OF the Maine Law" and being
brought up under such influences has de-
veloped into man Of fine moral principles.
We believe that the place may well be Civ
en- 10 him on the score OF ability, Of party
service, and because he is man Of integ-
rity and character-just such q man as
will serve the government faithfully and
elevate the public service.

"STILL MEN DRINK AND DRINK. The

of the late murder trial at Skowhegan
The verdict rendered In the case OF James

notice that Somerset County juries take
no stock in the prevailing notion that the
taking OF human life Is light matter. 1t
is also notice that fair minded men,
sworn to do their duty, have no idea OF
shielding criminal simply because he
committed his crime while intoxicated
Drunkenness Is no excuse for crime and

The first annual convention of the Ma
tional Liquor Dealers and Manufacturers
Protective Association OF the United States
met at Milwaukee, Wis, Wednesday, 18th.
Congressman Deuster delivered an address
OF welcome, in which he referred to the ef-
forts OF temperance people, and counselled
the closer organization TO resist them.
DULY three States in the Union were unrep-
resented.-E1.
The irrepressible conflict" between
right and wrong will for the next decade,
be waged on the temperance platform.
The evil Of slavery having been disposed
OF, the next far-reaching, economic ques-
ton for the American people to discuss is
that relating 10 the liquor traffic. When
the New York Tribune Investigated the
matter, lately, it found'that our liquor bill
amounted TO more than the expense of
maintaining the National government and
all the State and municipal governments
In the Union, combined. or course, so
huge q traffic, representing more capital,
controlled by more interested parties OF
influence, and spreading over the entire
country, win present greater obstacles to
reform than the slave interest mustered.
But despite the combinations Of wealth,
self interest and self indulgence, the policy
Of prohibition must be made national.
Those who believe In this policy must meet
combinations by combinations. and he
prepared for extreme measures. The fight
Is to be on paper and on the platform, not

SoNE months since, we comment
ed on the facts that clerks and geuteel
looking men, were allowed TO mount NOV
ing trains on Commercial Street, Portland,
contrary TO law. The two policemen, in
a car in which we rode, not only failed to
enforce the law which placed them there
but covered in a friendly manner with
the offenders. The Portland papers
thought we were needlessly critical. but
last week, rs a result OF just this neglect,
Mr.. 5. F. Merrill, OF the Auburn shoe nrm
OF Asa Cushmsn Il Co, lost a leg while try
ing to mount q moving train. The law
was passed to protect respectable citizens
against their own csrelessness, and II 1t
had been enforced. as II should have been
by the officers, this sad accident would
