Prohibition and Hypocrisy.

Portland, Me-, May 1.-THE most
o,ominent thing in regard TO the
a,ohIbition laws Is the hunor attach
ID to them. And the more they are
enforced the more this is apparent.
Inst now the friends OF the anti
i,onor laws have taken sudden
tart and are endeavorIng with might
and main to suppress illegal liquor
selling.
The World correspondent, IN
company with Boston lawyer, made
tour of this town last evening TO
see how much of the ardent could
be obtained and the manner OF pro-
,,pr;nq 1t. We found 20 difficulty
IN getting rum. but the way in which
II was got was both peculiar and
ridiculous. FIRST we applied at
leading hotel, which until recently
had its first class bar. In a whisper
the smiling clerk was told wha- was
wanted.
"Here. take these keys said he,
.sand 20 to room 4,first floor front. "
We found room I to contain
several chairs and table but no
signs of bar. After waiting a few
seconds in came the clerk, carrying
good sized carpet bag which he
deposited on the table.
Il carry the bar with me- he ex-
planned as he opened the bag and
took therefrom several bottles la
pelled with their respective liquors,
which were followed by glasses,
nitters, etc. After sampling the
alcoholic beverages the clerk ex-
planned that if a search was made by
The officers it was a very easy matter
for him to take his grip or bar room
and march around town with 1t until
the searchers had left II disgust.
We next took walk down by
the railroad depots where saloons
were formerly as thick as those on
the Bowery. And indeed the most
OF them are open now, but liquors,
especially ale and beer, are not so
easily obtained in them. In one
place we were served in a little IRON
clad room, with a huge oak bar
thrown across the door to prevent
surprise. In another we were given
ale which flowed from what to all
appearance was harmless gas
pipe. In still another place our
liquor was brought on sealed up in
egg shells, the meat having been
blown out. In all of these places a
tub Of acid is kept handy, and at the
appearance of an officer the liquor
Jumped into it. That is, all kept
