Temperance Notes.

At the meeting of the Somerset Temperance
Union held in Boston, Friday, Gov. Long and
other distinguished speakers attended the
meeting.
General Neal Dow spoke of the different
classes OF temperance men in New York. The
moderationists he compared to Quaker guns;
the non-partisans were like men who went
forth with blank cartridges to meet others with
shotted guns. He pext alluded to the temper
ance work in Maine There they laid aside all
party affiliations and personal friendships in
order to obtain deliveranee from the liquor
evil. The liquor interest controls every State
in the Union except Kansas and Iowa; he did
not except Maine. AS example, the city gov
eminent of Portland made bargain with the
secret rumsellers of the city not to prosecute
them il they would sustain certain ticket. A
Democratic mayor has put down the grog shops
in Portland, and the people are going to make
him the next governor. Hon. j. M. S. Will
liams declared that the Democratic mayor
might promise temperance, "but no Democrat
ever keeps his promises" Mr.. Dow's declara-
ton had drawn out little applause, but Mr..
Williams's called forth a warm and hearty
lieved the Republican party saved Massachu.
sets. He was glad to hear that the Democrats
of Maine had become converted, and he hoped
the Republicans there would be converted and
when they were they would "stick" longer
than the Democrats.
The Portland Globe says that during the
National Encampment Mr.. Munson has ar
ranged to have one hundred ex-soldiers in his
pay who are to keep up a constant patrol of
the liquor infested localities of Portland, osten-
sibly as sight seeing visitors, but really in the
capacity of spoilers in search of eliminating
information against the balm vendors. Should
liquor be offered them they are to purchase and
a warrant will be at once issued against the
lnckless seller Should none be offered sus-
picous places are to be visited and liquor
called for by the ex-soldiers, who will, in case
they succeed in purchasing any, have the
places promptly raided. By this means it is
hoped that drought of unprecedented severity
will reign in Portland during the fourth week
of June.
The Brunswick Telegraph alleges that
eleven men from that town were summoned

TASKS of liquor in their pockets.
