From the Bangor Whig and Courier
The PrOhibitOry Law.

Misrepresentation being the forte of the
editor of the Commercial he is never so
happy AS when he gets an opportunity to prac-
tice his art of deception upon such of his
readers AS have not long since learned to ac-
cept with moderation any statement that ap-
pears in the columns of his paper. 1t is
well known fact that he is in favor of free
rum in the fullest sense of the word and he is
ready to 90 to any extent to injure the cause
of prohibition in this State. 1t was for this
purpose that he distorted certain casual re-
marks of ex-Chief Justice Appleton, relative
to the constitutional amendment. into an an
nouncement that Judge Appleton advocated
high license law, and had this creation of
his own imagination telegraphed broad cast
to other free rum papers as the opinion of
the eminent iurlst.
The writer of this called upon Judge Ap-
pleton last evening in reference to this
matter and the Judge expressed great sur
prise that remarks made IN ordinary CONVEX
sation should have been rushed into print in
this and other cities without any consultation
with him whatever. Referring to the article
in q1estion the Judge said some portions
of it represented his views correctly and
others did not. Tie is strongly in favor of
any movement that commends itself to his
jud dsmeut as being likely to promote the
cause of temperance in which, of course, he
is an earnest believer. The Judge thinks.
however, that the constitutional amendment
is unnecessary. not because he is an advocate
of high license law, but for the reason that
in his opinion we now have ample power to
control the liqnor traffic He thinks that the
law is well enough as it is and that the pro-
posed amendment will not strengthen it so as
to promote the cause of temperance.
We have no doubt there are those who
fully agree with this opinion of the learned
gentleman, while on lhe other hand there are
great many who earnestly believe in the
adoption of the amendment. The question
is one for the people to decide at the polls.
That the majority of the people of this State
are in favor of prohibition is a settled fact.
A license law was given trial and then the
present law was indorsed at the polls by
majority Of about %, 900 votes. Whether OF
not the people will go a step farther and en-
body it in the constitution remains to be seen
At anv rate those who have the welfare of
the State at heart are not likely to be infiu-
enced in their action by those papers that are
working against prohibition in the hopes of
going back to license law.

Grant and Blaine.

A correspondent of the New York World
called upon General Grant lately In the
course of the conversation the General said
he desired to correct wrong impression,
growing out of a remark made by him in a
former interview. He was then reported as
saving: Il would not go to q dinner where
would be expected to meet Mr.. Blaine" Gen.
eral Grant said that this needed further ex-
PLANTATION.
'what meant" said he. "was this that
would not go to any dinner gotten up for
the special purpose of bringing Mr.. Blaine
and myself together. OF course, if General
Beale should see ft to give dinner party and
| should be invited to il. under ordinary cir
cumstsnces should accept without thinking
of asking him who were TO be his guests. I,
of course. did not mean to say that would
object to sitting down to a table where Mr.
Blaine was guest.
"Have you any personal feeling against
Mr. Blaine?"
Il have not seen or spoken to him now for
nearly four years
mslly meet Mr.. Blaine at the present time
caused by the misconstruction that would be
put upon such meeting?"
''That is it exactly. 1t is for no personal
reason. During the last few weeks a num-
ber of newspaper paragraphs have been
printed claiming that an alliance was being
made between Blaine and myself, and that I
had come here for the special purpose of hav-
ing a reconciliation brought about. Now
am for one candidate ~ against all other,,
and don't want to have any misappreheu-
sion about my position. That is the reason
Why l should not care to see or talk With Mr..
Blaine At the present time"

Monday they were all grouped on the

be two conjunctions during the month,
one of which. that of Neptune aud Mercu-
ry. is invisible. but the other may be seen
plainly, and will present beautiful sight.
On the 18th. early in the evening, a group
that is seldom seen together will adorn
the western sky. Venus is the most
prominent gem in the cluster. and about
four degrees south is Saturn, a bright
planet shining with serene and mellew
lustre. About four degrees further south
still is the ruddy Aldebaran with his at
tendant Hyades. and only half degree
west of Venus the little Pleiades are
found. almost eclipsed BY the light Of the
beaming goddess.

A Dilatory Congress.

The change in the House from repub-
lican to . democratic majority has not
proved profitable in the way of despatch
ing business. The Morrison tariff bill has
engrossed the attention of the democrats 20
exclusively that they have attended to but
little else. They have caucused over it,
discussed it, quarreled about it, and yet it
hangs fire to the detriment of important
business waiting to be attended to. Con-
gress has been in session four months,
and yet little has been accomplished by
the House. 1t may be summed up in the
passage of the Fitz John Porter; the Las
ker resolution, the introduction of which
was in questionable taste; the O'Donnell
resolution, which has been of no special
interest, and three of the minor appropria-
ton bills. The Military Academy bill is
the only regular appropriation measure
which has passed both houses. The
House has passed the post Office
and ma, al bills. and there have
been reported the Indian and the Pension
bills. as well as the Agricultural Appro-
priation bill by the Committee on Agri-
culture. The larger and more important
appropriation bills are yet in the hands of
the committee. The Fitz John Porter bill
lies on the Speakers table with amend
ments. and there are also eight special
orders for measures of general importance,
which now so overlap and conflict with
ton is involved in uncertainty. As to
contested election cases. two of the most
unImportant have been settled, but there
remain dozen others to be considered.
The whiskey bill has been killed, but
grave questions concerning the tariff, a
general bankrupt law, Presidential sue
cession. the method of counting electoral
votes. are yet untouched and are waiting
consideration. The tariff bill is on the cal
endar, but its friends are uncertain whether
they can obtain consideration for it, and
Mr.. Morrison is hesitating whether to call
it up for some weeks yet. On the whole,
the House has done little as yet except to
kill time. and it now looks as if little
would be done during the next three
months. except to pass the regular appro
pration bills. At this rate the democrat
ic majority is likely to dig its own politi
cal grave before the session ends. That
will be a good result, but it is surprising
that party which made such herculean
efforts to get into power, should take so
much pains to get rid of it in "a single ses-
sion.

The Argus still processes to believe that
there is no detection from Cleveland in the
Democratic party. 1t tightly shuts its eyes
to what Is going on around and then Justify
shouts that it sees no assertions from the
Democratic ranks. Day after day promi.
nent Democrats are announcing their inten-
ton to vote against Cleveland, and still the
Argus processes to know of no disaffection.
No longer ago than Saturday one of the
Democratic Presidential electors in New
Jersey resigned because he could not sup
port Cleveland, but the Argus hasn't heard
of it apparently. Only few days ago sew
eral members of the Democratic city COM
mittee of Fall River were turned out be-
cause they were for Blaine, but the Argus
knows nothing about it. The Democratic
Congressional committee are scattering Dan
Voorhees's speeches all over the country to
keep the Irish in line, but no breath of dis
content has reached the ears of the Argus.
The religious press which only short time
ago the Argus boosted were all for Cleve-
land, have nearly all retracted, but the Ar
gus doesn't know anything about it. Labor
ing men in New York city who heretofore
have habltually voted the Democratic ticket
are organizing Blaine and Logan clubs, but
still the Argus pretends that the laboring
men are all solid for Cleveland. About the
twelfth of November the Argus will open its
eyes with jerk and very likely see some
thing to its disadvantage.

ton was offered, and voted against it, and with
Judge Peters and others, bolted the conven-
ton and proceeded to Granite Hall and nomi-
mated the gallant Col. Jameson for governor,
and supported him vigorously in opposition to
Governor Dana, an uncle of my wife.

count-out, pronouncing it as honorable" etc.
