Democrats and Prohibition.

The contest between the democratic
papers of this State over prohibition and
the enforcement of the prohibitory laws
is waxing exceedingly warm. They are
about evenly divided on the subject, with
the Argus leading on one side and the
Bangor Commercial on the other. The
Commercial of Saturday published an
editorial more than two columns long.
from which we make the following ex-
tracts
The Commercial proposes maintaining con.
sistently the position on this question il has
held in the past, and upholding true demo-
cratic principles. 1t is opposed to the pro-
hibitor, law on principle and does not intend
to uphold it merely because it has been placed
in the Constitution.
Honest northumberland the history OF
politics in our State shows that thew are few
may consistently uphold prohihitory Law.
But there could be no greater cant than for
newspapers like the Argus and Age TO advo-
cate the enforcement of law in which their
editors do not believe. They are under no
moral or legal obligation so to do. Let them

PARTY TIES IN THIS COUNTRY
CAUSING NO SPLIT.

Alexander Sullivan Proposes q Fund
which will Aid in Paying Ninety Irish
Members of Parliament $500 Salaries
for Five Years-Approval OF the Prop
OsitiOn.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-There appears TO
be no foundation for the report that Mr..
ParnelPs supporters in this country are
divided upon Irish politics because of the
differences in American politics. This
weeks Boston Pilot, the leading Irish
Democratic paper in the United States,
published an interview with Alexander
sullivan, one OF Blaine's leading support
ers. Mr.. Sullivan fOrmulates a plan for
raising $225, 900 at the January convention
OF the Irish National League Of America
to enable Mr.. Parnell to guarantee 30
members f100 each annually for five
years.
PART OF THE CONSTITUENCIES.
The constituencies will do the rest
necessary to compensate the members.
This much is to be Americas cOptribu-
ton. Mr.. sullivan suggests that Rev.
DR.. O'Rellly, the American Treasurer Of
the League, and Eugene Kelly, the New
York banker, be made the trustees Of this
fund, and that it be held in the United
states subject to Mr.. ParnelIs order, so
that the English Government can never
levy on it. MIR. Sulivan's plan also pro-
vides that the CHICAGO convention appor-
ton to each State its share Of this sum.
THE WORK TO BE DIVIDED.
Then the league work will be divided
and the responsibility equalized IN plac-
ing all of 1t on the executive officers, as
at present.
John Boyle OReilly editorially says
that Mr.. Sullivan's programme win be
carried out, and that the lrish-Americans
are one in Irish affairs. There appears 10
be extraordinary activity throughout the
country In raising election funds for Mr..
Parnel.
Mr.. Sullivan's plan, as approved by
Mr.. OReilly, contemplates that all the
funds raised before January will be
needed to defray the expenses Of the cleo
tion OF Parnellites. The above sum is to
be raised subsequently as the basis Of the
members salary.

of the head resembled the face of a pug

length of the head was ID inches. There
were only three joints from the pole to the

days and week days, without time allowed
for meals or recreation, to say nothing Of
family life. This, it appears, is the lot Of
the servants employed by tramway COM

white slaves, joined by omnibus drivers

are holding meetings TO protest against
the inhumanity Of the treatment. The

THE ATALANTA GIVEN THE CUP.
Mr.. HerreshOT Challenges Her to a Race
with the StiIettO.
From, the EssO York Times.


From the Neeo York Times.
The regatta committee of the American
Steam Yacht club yesterday made public
its decision in the claim made by Jay
Gould for the award of the challenge cup
to the ATLANTA, instead of the celebrated
Herreshoff boat, the Stiletto, which craft,
Mr.. Gould protested, had, during the late
race for the cup, failed to steam over the
proper course. The unanimous decision
of the committee is that Mr.. Gould's
claim is supported by the evidence, and
the cup is ordered to be awarded TO the
Atalanta. The evidence furnished by Mr..
Gould in behalf OF his claim consisted 'ot
IA affidavits obtained by Capt. Shacktord
mostly from residents and seafarlng men
from New London and vicinity, while the
testimony on the part of the SulettO was
contained in four afidavits, Of which
three were from persons who were on
board the Stiletto during the race.
In DECIDING the protest in favor Of the
Atalanta the committee no doubt was
governed by the preponderance OF evil
dence, but there are one or two peculiar
features in the case. The evidence in
support Of Mr.. Gould's protest is given
mainly by fishermen and wreckers, who
in the locality of Sarah's Ledge on the
day Of the race. On the other hand, other
fishermen sustain Mr.. HeTreshoff, while
the reporter of the Times, who was on
board the StilettO and in her pilot house
during the entire race, has a very distinct
recollection that the Stiletto left the buoy
in question on the port hand, and must
therefore have passed 1t, as the regula-
tions prescribed, to the southwark and
eastward.
The following challenge has been Issued
by Mr.. Herreshof to Mr.. Gould:
BRISTOL, r. l., Sept. 81.
Jag Gou5d Esq:
! hereby challenge the ATLANTA to race
with the StilettO over l00-mile course on the
Hudson river, from point Off the foot OF
W est Twenty third street. fifty miles up and
back, on Saturday, Sept. %, and will join you
IN the purchase of a championship cup, worth
at least $500, to be held by the winner, subject
tothe challenge of any yacht which may be
disposed to race for it thereafter. The cup
will he held subject to the conditions that it
must be sailed Tor over the same course, and
that, IN order to win it, the challenging yacht
must go over the course in less time than that
previously made by the yacht which holds it.
Please reply by return mail and name your
judge. Yours, truly,
JOHN Is. HERREsHoFF.
