THE Sunday Journal of yesterday circulated
something more than ONE THOUSAND COPIES
in excess OF the number printed the previous
Sunday, and even then not a few newsdealers
exhausted their supply at an early hour. A
gain Of one thousand week will do. Since
the first day of March the circu-
lation Of the Sunday Journal has
increased between 1000 and $500 copies,
and it has now very considerably the largest
and best circulation Of any Sunday paper in
the State. These facts as to circulation will
not escape the attention of the intelligent
reading and business public. The demand
for the second installment of Mr.. Blacks
story will be met by the printing of astill
larger edition on next Sunday. Copies of
yesterdays issue, containing the first part of
the story, can be had at the countingroom.

Mr.. GEORGE LIES, in the April Popular
Science Monthly, discussing the problem of
fire insurance, says:
''That insurance has increased incendiarism
is proved by British statistics. Between 1852
and 1866 the proportions of fires originating
in Great Britain from unknown causes rose
from 81 IL to SO 1-3 per cent. Destruction
by fire takes place i'll much larger proportion
in property insured than uninsured Incen-
diarlsm is of two kinds that of an interested
policy holder, and that of malignant crimi-
nal. While fires due to the latter may be
checked or extinguished by well-planned APP
paratus, the losses due to the former
variety of crime might be to some
extent prevented by insurance COM
panies only indemnifying for losses
in part. Suppose a merchant to take
out policy by which he is to be reimbursed
for three-fourths the amount of loss actually
sustained, whether partial or total. Clearly,
the company has better risk than if it
granted full indemnity; for now its client has
direct interest in escaping loss by exercise
of skill and vigilance. Any means which
makes responsibility reside with an owner has
a wholesome element Of justice and safety in
it. Very unbusiness-like, certainly, is the &C
ton of some stock companies which refuse to
reduce the premium rate when the insured
adopts new means of safety. Such refusal
would warrant the impression that any meth
DDS whereby the volume of loss by fire would
be diminished, and with it the commission
aud fees Of canvassers and agents, have a sim
lister interest to oppose them"

Unable lady, and it is kind in her friends, or,
rather. the friends of her husband to see to it
that want and suffering shall not come to her

from incendiarisms, conilagrations and murder
For the past six years the city of Bangor has
practically enjoyed free rum. There are over
100 places there where liquor is sold and no
attempt has been made to enforce the law.
The law is a nullity. In Lewiston. Bath,
Augusta and other cities no difficulty is ex-
perienced If one wants to wet his whistle In
the city of Portland, under General BOWS own
eyes, the liquor traffic fourishes, and yet at
the same time in no other city has the law,
for the past ten years, been more faithfully
enforced. Last September the peo-
pie of Maine, without regard to party settled
the question of constitutional prohibition, but
this does not signify that prohibition is sue
cess On the contrary, the liquor prosecutions
of the past, as well as those now instigated by
the Law and Order League, are Intellectual in
stopping the traffic and in making saints of
our people. 1t certainly looks as if prohibit
ton does not and will not prohibit in Maine. !"

SIMPLY as a matter OF news and contribu-
ton to tho store OF facts touching the practi-
cability Of prohibitory laws III dealing with
the problem of regulating the traffic in in
toxicants, We reproduce some extracts from a
letter from Maine, published in the New York
Herald 1t is known that IN Maine pro-
hibitory law has been in force for moro than
thirty years, and that in that State there is
assuredly the best educated public sentiment
in favor of extreme measures to be found in the
United States. The letter says:
'There is no doubt but what prohibition has
accomplished a great deal of good in the way
of suppressing the rum traffic, and it is equal
ly true that the men, women and children Of
to-day are more abstemious than were their
fathers and grandfathers. Still the rum
traffic fourishes; officers are unfaithful in en-
forcing the laws and when they are executed
the chances are that from some defect or loop
hole in the law the rurnseller escapes. The sit
uation TO day does not show that Maine is the
prohibitory State that she is represented to
be. Il was only few days ago that General
Dow was forced to admit that st is not over

to-day the liquor traffic is inficting upon
the people far more mischief, Indebtedness
and ruin than they suffer from all the rob-

THE Sunday Journal of yesterday met with
an unexpected demand, and many of the
newsdealels, both in this and other cities ran
out of copies at o very early hour. While the
paper was of unusual attractiveness, we trust
that it did not keep any one away from church
who would otherwise have gone. The Journal
does not aspire to supplant the pulpit in the
work of morally benefting and edifying the peo-
pie It's modest ambition will be fully salts
fed if it shall be helper, an auxiliary, in the
good work. There is ample time on Sunday
for the reading of the Journal and for regular
attendance upon church. The pulpit of In
dianapolis is one of exceptional ability and
power. Every denomination is represented by
preachers of the best ability and widest schol-
arship. Let no one remain from church to
read the Sunday Journal. Read the impor-
tant news before church time if necessary and
keep the feast of good things in it's literary
and miscellaneous columns for the hours after
church service. Thus, the Sabbath day and
evening viii not only be pleasantly, but prof
itably and conscieutiously spent.

A WASHINGTON special says that ''the raid
being made by the civil-service dudes on APP
pointment Clerk Higgins, of the Treasury
Department, will not avail to get him out.
He is the victim Of factional fight between
Senator German and ex-senator Pinckney
Whyte, of Maryland. Mr.. Randall says if
he continues to discharge his duties as eff
fciently as he already has, he is for him in
spite of all clanor." And yet, one of the
chief mugwump papers declares that Genes
reputation is such as better to befit man in
States prison than a chief functionary in a
''refcrm" administration.
