literating degree down in Georgia. Sena-
tor Bacon was handicapped in his canvass
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor by the fact that he had accepted a
judicial position under Governor Bullock; ;
and now Maj. Mcdaniel, the nominee oil
the party, has found it necessary to deny
the 'sinfamous rumor" that he was ever
connected with the Union League, In
name or in sympathy" About how much
longer will it be that man is disqualified
for holding office at the South by the fact
that he was loyal to the Union, or accepted
the results of the war in manly fashion,

GROWING DEFIANT-Evidently the sue
cess of the liquor interest in the elections
of the West, last fall, has made them de-
aant. A delegation OF liquor dealers cali
ed upon the editor of the Wilkesbarre, Pa,
Record, on Monday and threatened ITO
make IL hot for him II he did not leave
of his advocacy OF enforce
ment of the law prohibiting Sunday sales
of LIQUOR. The editor said he should con-
time his course. In Lockport, n. Y, the
the LIQUOR dealers refuse TO stop selling,
notwithstanding the board chosen at the
recent election decline to issue licenses,
and have raised money to defend their
craft in their violations of law. The liquor
dealer, OF Ohio, in convention have resolv-
"a IN DEFY the new State law imposing
tax on liquor dealers. In New York city
the liquor dealers defy the license law, ana
az many persons sell liquor without license
az with il. The District Attorney says
their political influence is so great that
even the narrow restrictions OF the license
law can't be enforced. There Is the same
complaint In the license cities IN Massa-
cbusetts. where a law and order league
has been organized to aid in enforcing the
the little law there Is.

city Yet II contained bar, at which two
men were busily aud almost constantly en-
gagged in preparing and passing out drinks
from the early draught before breakfast
till the might cap" was imbibed, before re-
firing at midnight. Having been in hotels
in all the large cities OF Maine, we feel
competent TO Judge OF the difference be-
tween them and New York Hotels. In
thirteen years, we have but once seen any
LIQUOR In Maine hotel, and that time,
some ''smart" young men opened bottle at
table. What may be done In the Easements
or back rooms of our hotels, we do not
now. But It Is tact that no man has IL
auor stuck under his nose at every turn,nor
Is the custom OF drinking at the bar nor at
the table very prevalent. No comparison
can be instituted between Maine and New
York in this matter, for New York is so
deficient in temperance sentiment, so full
Of open bars, and so entirely different from
Maine. that there is nothing in common
on which to base such comparison.
But what have we to do with New YORK
aud other States? We shall see, In the
near future, that unless we push our
Maine ideas Of prohibition into these
States, that they will force license laws
upon Maine. The millions invested In
LIQUOR can influence legislation in Maine
at some time when our people are not es-
pecially alive on this question. Fiat the next
election, the constitutional prohibitory
amendment should be defeated, 1t would
be claimed as a triumph for the liquor IN
terests. Soon would follow-if not i'm
medistely-an attempt to modify, to local
option or license, our prohibitory law.
We believe that if this prohibitory amend
ment is defeated, the lapse OF five years
will see the downfall Of prohibition In
Maine. Money will pour into Maine from
the LIQUOR dealers association, to influence
the election of legislators, and legislation
will be shaped to its interests. What has
been done to make Maine so free from in
toxicstion and the waste resultant there
from, can only be maintained by hearty
union of all who believe in prohibition.

statute the use of intoxicating liquors, yet
every civilized community does undertake
to regulate, restrict or prohibit its sale
by dram shops, on the ground that dram
shop Is source of danger TO the public.
There Is no nation on the face OF the
earth that allows liquors TO be sold like
flour and corn. Every one recognizes the
danger of the traffic, and undertakes to
hedge it in by some form of restriction or
prohibition.
II 1t be said that the object of prohib-
tory law is by its indirect influence to re-
strict the use of liquor as beverage and
therefore, that II undertakes TO regulate
by statute what men shall drink, We reply
that the protested object OF a license law,
or any law Interfering with free dram
shops is the same. No State has any
right to impose any restrictions on the
sale OF liquor, any more than 1t has on
aour, unless there is danger to the COM
munity from the unrestricted sale and use
of intoxicating liquors. and unless restric-
ton or prohibition by statute will tend to
diminish its sale and use. The question
at issue between the friends of prohibition
and license is whether the one policy or
the other exerts the most wholesome in
direct influence, inducing men to refrain
from the use of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage. The friends Of license are con-
stantly claiming that their policy results
in less consumption of liquor than is
found under prohibition. While on the
other hand the friends Of prohibition claim
that their policy improves the drinking
habits of the community more than any
other statutary system yet tried.
Our friends Of the Commercial will find
that their proposal to abrogate all laws
which tend to influence men in their per-
sonal life, would sweep away all laws in
any manner interfering with the free sale
Of LIQUOR; and large mass Of legislation
whose object is to make it easier for every
citizen to do right and harder to DO wrong.
Thousands of citizens who take little per-
sonal interest in temperance favo- our
laws prohibiting dram shops because they
know that open, licensed dram shops,
propped up and given a standing by law,
are grave evils in any community. They
want nothing OF the kind to tempt their
brothers and sons into forbidden paths.
Whatever shortcomings there may be
under prohibition, yet when citizens rec
ognize the fact that under license there
would, for example, be l50 open, licensed
dram shops, with their temptations expos
ed to every passer-by, in Lewiston, and OF
in Auburn, they say that the condition Of
our two cities under prohibition during
the past twenty years has been so much
better than it could have been under Ii
cense policy, that, like Gen. Chamberlain
they do not propose to give up certain
measure Of good for what under all circum
stances has thus far proved to be deptl
of evil.
