BEATING HIS OPPONENT.
An amusing story is told of an old
South Carolina sportsman who once sold
lad for some offence. The boy had
been riding races for him and was a
kind of an Archer, and pulled many a
race out of the fire. The gentleman who
bought him also owned and ran race
horses, and he was delighted to secure
the boy. In the first race after the sale
the discharged lad had a mount for his
new master, while his former ''mas'r"
had to put up green boy on his horse.
Just as they had weighed out, the gen.
tleman went up to his former slave and
exclaimed: ''See here, you black rascal,
if you attempt to spit tobacco juice into
my boys eye, if you should have finish
with him, I'll fog you" 1t thus leaked
out that that method of expectoration
was one of the tricks of the lads trade,
and that. whenever he was bothered at
finish, he resortedto this method OF beat
ing an opponent.

We presume many OF our people have
the idea from representations made by the
New Age and the advocates of the Tenn
perauce Taxpayers ticket that the city
has been running headlong in debt for a
wear or two past. They are greatly mis-
taken about this matter. Let us see.
Hon. Charles +. Nash was one of the
siguers of the Temperance. Tax-paye
&c. SC. SC. call for the caucus at which
the nomination of Seth c. Whitehouse for
Mayor was ratified Mr. Nash was Mayor
of the city five years. From the begia-
ming of his administration until the present
time is nine years When Mr.. Nash first
entered spon the office of Mayor. the city
debt amounted to SSl1.s79.1l. At the
close of his administration OF five wears
the city debt was SSH. l6i.l0. The re-
duc,ion OF the city debt during that period
was SlI5.Ol.
After him came Mayor Vickery. who
held the office three years. The city debt
when he entered upon the duties of Mayor
WAS SSl3 AGA 10. the inheritance of in
debtedness from Mayor Nash's admins
trafion. At the close of Mayor vickery's
administration of three years. the city
debt was sos, SS5 SO. The reduction of
the city debt during that period was

These figures speak for themselves.
They show how false is the assertion
that the city debt has been increasing
during the last decade. If Mayor Phil
brook serves as Mayor another year, as
we have no doubt he will, he will just
close decade from the commencement
Of Mayor Nash's administration. and show
we trust as gratifying results in the way
of reducing the city debt rs either of his
predecessors above mentioned.

The constitutional Amendment In the
state.

SoUTH WINDSOR, March 9TH.
Editor Of The journal:
Thinking perhaps the readers of the Jour
nal would be interested to learn the views of
the people in different sections of the State
IN regard to the constitutional amendment,
| would say that in my ira, els through Knox
Linroln and Waldo counties, organizing Di-
visions of Son $ OF Temperance, have taken
some pains to learn as near as posi-
BILE how the people stand on that quest N,
and A. have visited MANY of them at their
homes. have had a very good opportunity
to learn their views in regard to the
matter. think | can safely say
that two-thirds OF the people that | have
cunversed with are in favor of the constitu-
tional prohibition amendment. and are ready
to vote for it. The other third are in favor
of license or free rum. 4 very few of this
class join our division. The verdict of
temperance people of all parties is to keep
the temperance question out of politics,i we
expect to be successful next fall. and | am
satisfied in my own mind. if we expect
to carry the constitutional amendment, the
temperance people and workers must pull
together do not find but very few who
think it would be well to drag the temperance
question into politics; and it is with regret
that learn there is an effort being made to
put prohibition ticket in the field at this
time.
Friends Of temperance, let us stop a mo-
ment and consider what we are doing. In
the first place are we going to advance the
cause Of temperance? Shall we be strong
enough ourselves, as a party, to take charge
of the constitutional amendment and place it
in the Constitution of Maine? Remember
that is the task the temperance people have
taken to perform; and we cannot af-
ord to take any chances. We must
not fail to accomplish the rork
think il any one party undertakes this task
alone they will fail in the undertaking. "a
they cannot expect any assistance from the
other parties. and it looks to me though
we have everything to lose and nothing to
gain if we undertake this great work alone.
SO, temperance friends. let us work together
as whole people, and vote together for con-
stitutionsl prohibition, and victory will crown
the efforts have made for the cause of
temperance, humanity. and our homes.
