The Maine stat. Temp GRANGE Al,snes.

The Maine State Temp erance Alliance,
This organization, formed at Lewiston
Thursday, is designed as union of the vari-
Gus elements of the friends of temperance, in a
society having for its chief aim the inculcaton
Oh the principle of total abstinence among the
people While distinctly recognizing the prin-
clple OF prohibition, and dec laring in its pre-
ampie that total abstinence and prohibition are
fundamental principles of the Temperance Re-
form, the Alliance will devote itself more es-
peclaly to the moral phases of the work,
through the iustrumentality of lectures, the
circulation Of temperance literature, the edu-
cation of the young in the principles of absti-
hence, ETC., thus aiming to create public SEN
timent which shall keep pace With our prohibit
tory legislation, and render the impartial en-
Iorcement of those enactments less difficult
tnan now. The representa- We temperance
men Of the State were present in goodly num-
bers. and the organization bids fair to become
very useful in prosecuting its chosen work. It
Is contemplated through its executive commit
tee TO effect Thorough organization of the
friends Of temperance in an alliance" which
shall be able to resist effectively the encroach-
ments of the drink traffic.
Rev. Israel Luce of Lewiston is President of
the Alliance, Rev. II. G, Munson of South
Berwick, Secretary, and Job T. Sanford of
Portland, Treasurer. The religious element Is
strongly represented on the board of officers,
and it is expected that the churches through
out the State will heartily cooperate in the
work of the Alliance. The constitution con-
templates the organization of county and local
branches, and systematic plan of work is
marked out. There is membership fee of one
dollar, and the pledge of total abstinence is
made the basis of membership.
The friends of temperance in the State gen.
orally will be invited to join the Alliance and
to give their cooperation to the work.
