want chance to vote for Blaine," enthu-

politics and business. "No restraint could
hold us back from giving our ballots to a
man who has dignified conception of the
value of American citizenship and the
majesty of the American republic. To us.
that is the biggest issue on hand. and
Blaine was the only man who could be
named for the presidency that appreci-

will need them most"

chairman. Committees on permanent organ
ization, representation, and resolutions were

resentation followed. The resolutions were
then read, and, after several articles were hot

and constitutional prohibition were some of
the important planks in the platform. The

Thursday, May 10Th, Cumberland District
Lodge, held its quarterly session with Orient
lodge at Saccarrappa. Over one hundred del
egates and visitors were present. The usual
reports of the officers showed the Order In
Cumberland county to be in a Aourishing con-
dition. One new lodge has been instituted
since the February session-Rssoluts lodge at
Cape Elizabeth depot. Nearly all the lodges
have made good gain in membership. Much
interest is being manifested among the various
lodges in the County regarding the work of
the campaign for the Constitutional Amend
ment Public meetings are being constantly
held in many places under the auspices OF tho
lodges. Committees have been appointed to
work with the State and County Committee.
At the session committee Of three ladies and
thres gentlemen were raised to represent the
District Lodge in the campaign. Rev. Mr..
Fultz Of Dunstan's Corner, Scarboro, is chajE-
man, and Mr.. E. w knight of Deering, sec
rotary. Any communication addressed to
them upon matters pertaining to the WORK, will
meet with prompt reply, as will also those
addressed.to any of the District officers.
The Office of District Counsellor bsing va
cant, G. W. Murch OF Dsering, was elected to
the position. The competitive plan of enter.
tainment in the lodges introduced at the an
nual session, February of last year, is working
finely and the weak lodges that have adopted
1t have made large gain in membership and
interest too.
The committee on resolutions reported a
strong set touching upon all the vital points
in the carrying forward of the work Rev. II.
O. Munson, G. W. G. T., was present at the
afternoon session, and was accompanied by his
wife. State Deputy, f. A. Marson OF Bangor,
was also present he Is very actively engaged
in the work, and has during the past six
months instituted large number Of temples
and lodges. He is now working hard to form
chorus of two thousand or even more voices
to sing at the temperance mass meetings to be
held all over the State during the summer.
Rev. Fl. G. Munson, has prepared little book
of temperance hymns, and these are to 90 in
to every lodge. In this way the members will
be able to sing in mass meetings with Uniform
ity. Mrs. II. Barstow of Bangor, for the past
two years General Superintendent of juvenile
temples, was also present. She has been sue
ceeJed in that position by Mrs, Pember Of
Kennebunk. In the evening public meet
ing was held. Orient lodge furnished free en-

The Worlds Sugar Supply.

The Glasgow Herald thus diagnoses the present
condition and outlook of the markets of the world.
"It may to some extern be true that the united
productihn of beet and cane sugars has for tho
time got beyond the worlds demands: but even this
statement requires modification for large propor-
ton OF the increase in the available stock Is due To
the TACT that many OF the crops have this season
been forwarded by steamer instead of sailing vessel
as formerly, bringing the sugar much earlier into
consuming markets. The manufacture of the beet
crop has also been compressed into a shorter time
1t is therefore probable that the visible supply
which used to be largest in July and August, has
already reached ITS maximum in March and April.
The production Of beet sugar has increased verV
RAPIDLY but 1t is worth noting that both France and
Austria, after having the industry fostered by
Dounties which to large extent are vitbdrawB,
have receded rather than increased. In Germany
the tax the roots is to be increased and the draw
BACK on exported sugar reduced so that the fabri-
canes will not in the season lSs4S5 have the boun
ty referred to. The crops Of 1SS2-S3 and 1SS3-SA
have been unprecedentedly large, and though tho
it does not follow that crop 18S4-S5 will be i'm
creased in same proportion. The 2, 300 900 tonsof
August be entirely consumed, and the crop now be-
ing sown, to be reaped in September and following
months, may or may not give 100000 tons more
sugar, which might be expected If results were to
be again as favorable as in the past two years But
turning to the cane crops. Java has steadily an
creased but this year has resulted In such serious
Losses to merchants and importers that tina rates
likely to be current will not be such as to induce
planters to press their produce on the market Tha
6 VIII tnls season snow deficit OF TO-
oou tons. Inc Brazil crop Is pretty well over Re-
cent advices from Cuba report a renewal of tha in
surrectlon, general feeling of distrust and trade
demoralized. The crop has been hurried forward,
ouI the conditions do not favor an increase on the
small crop Of last year. AS to British West Indies
the crop was at no time expected to exceed last
year and at present prices in many places II wiz
not pay the expenses Of reaping. On the whole the
supply OF cane sugar during the next five months
viii be curtaied while the low prices will greatly
stimulate consumption. On the continent nearly
100000 tons are now used where certainly not
0ne-tenth was used 80 years ago. In the United
Kingdom In 1853 the consumption was about &c.
900 tons; in 1888 it was three times that quantity
or 100 900 tons. The United States 30 years ago
was supplied by home production; last year nearly
900, 900 tons were imported, and this year It IL
probable the consumption will approach 1 200 600
TONS IT, therefore, the present visible supply an
pears large it should not be forgotten that the re-
quirements greater than ever before that nras-
ent prices are much below the cost OF production
and 20 per cent below what they were ever known
to be over any extended period.h
