The New Age says: mo one connect
ed with the New Age office was called on
TO testify not even our local editor. who
was present during the investigation TAX
ing notes." Remarkable. was it not, that
the party which brought the monstrous
accusations against Mr.. White should need
- be "called on to testify''!' There is
but one opinion about that matter, viz. :
That the New Age editor had nothing to
say, no facts 10 present. not scintilla OF
evidence to offer. and so sneaked out by
pronouncing the investigation farce. He
and everybody else who had any evidence
70 offer was called upon to appear and
testify at the investigation. but this editor
% valiant in making brutal assertions,
crAwled into his hole while the investiga-
ton was going on. and after 1t was over

During the last cold snap my wife, as well

much said in favor of Togus Cough Mixture

and can say l received more value for my

The meeting OF the Maine State Tenn
psrance Alliance at Gardner, which
closed yesterday, was very large and
successful gathering Of the friends OF tenn
psraucs. Gov. Robbie presided. His re-
marks upon taking the chair were received
with great favor by the audience. He
spoke earnestly in favor of the cause Of
prohibition. of its great importance, and
ths necessity of placing the prohibitory
amendment in the constitution. The
spesshes BY other gentlemen were also
able and convincing, and stirred the ap-
prsciative audience to a good pitch Of
eufhusiasm. A letter from Senator Frye
was read and received with much ap-
plauss.
The sentiment was strongly expressed
and evidently was concurred in by all
present, that the vote upon the adoption
Of the constitutional amendment should
b free, clear, and above party entangle-
ments, standing or falling. a. the case
may be, solely upon its merits. Men Of
al parties are appealed to in favor OF its
support. 1t looks well for the adoption
Of the amendment that It's friends are thus
willing 10 trust its fate to the popular
vote. They confidently affirm that 1t will
be voted into the constitution by great
and invinciblc majority. Undoubtedly IL

will b given for it by democrats.
This meeting is the beginning of the

II Marshal White has been "a most faith
ful ofhcer In the enforcement of the liquor
lave" ~ the Journal asserts is ii not strange,
passing strange, that the citizens Of Augusta
do not have intelligence enough to discover
hf-TAs New Age.
The New Age demanded an investga-
ton into gross charges which it brought
against the City Marshal. The investiga-
tisn was held as the New Age desired, and
the City Marshal fully exonerated. while
the editor Of the New Age failed to put in
N appearance before the investigating
board. and made no attempt at the inves-
tigation to sustain the charges published
In his paper. Again. the New Age APP
psalsd to the records to prove its allega-
tions that Mr.. White has been unfaithful
In enforcing the liquor laws. We pro-
duced statements from the Judges of our
Municipal Court declaring what the rec
ord reveals. in regard to the enforcement
of the liquor laws. showing that Mr..
White has been faithful in the perform
ance OF his duty. We think our ''citi-
ssns of Augusta" "have intelligence
enough to discover" that the charges
made by the New Age have been fully
shown 10 be groundles. and malicious.
and that every effort it makes to extricate
itself from its disgraceful position only
sinks II deeper In the mire.

Making Herself a Nuisance.

In certain part of this city a re-
deemed woman $50 she claims to beg
some time ago bought lot, at the same
time saying it was for her mother and
sisters, and she was not going to live
there. However, her mother and sisters
did not turn up, and she went there to
reside herself. In the locality where she
now is great many of the most respect
able families of San Antonio have their
homes. So, for one or two months she
has behaved herself well, but latterly has
been creating disturbance by returning
home late and singing in what seems a
by no means sober voice. This has been
put IN with with much patience by the
ladies' and gentlemen around, but
"enough is as good as a FEAST" which
will be taught shortly to this foolish
woman, should she 80 continue in her
bad behavior. One gentleman was heard
to say 1t was shame such things should
be allowed in one Of the most decent
parts Of the city, and If continuing much
longer, he and his family will have to
move out Of their own house and &c
where the like does not exist.

Value Given by Labor =,


In recent lecture Mr.. Chase, member
OF Congress from Rhode Island, gave the
following account Of the value that is
given to some materials by the work
that is put upon them: "There are many
forms of manufacture in which the cost
of labor amounts to so nearly the total
cost that the percentage of material is an
item hardly worth consideration. In order
to illustrate this, have brought with
pc tonight samples Of watch springs
and screws. One pound, troy weight,
OF steel wire, Of which watch Screws are
made, Is worth about 90 cents. OF this
pound perhaps 20 per cent. is raw ma
terial; one pound would make 247, 600
screws, which are worth at Wholesale
$l,7l5 pound. Now let us carry this
estimate on into ton; we shall then
have some idea of the amount of labor
that enters into some of the finer manu-
factures. Making the proper calculation,
MIR. Chase found that ton OF
watch screws is worth S4,66S,-
230. The raw material in this ton
OF screws cost from IL to IA cents a
pound. BY the same method of calcula-
tions he found that the value of ton of
steel In the form ofhair springs is So, 1885,
IA. Comparing this with silver and
gold he found that fine silver and fine
gold at their value In New York amount
to the sum Of 49,, 527.7l and 500, 02s. 81
ton respectively, and that under the
magic touch Of the artisans hand the
baser metal becomes nearly eight times
more precious than gold.
