AN OPINION.
Touching the Employment or Spoilers I'm
Convicting Liquor Sellers.

In the case of State vs.. Oliver Rollins,
who was indicted for keeping tipping shop
in the city of Gardiner on the testimony of a
"spotter," the Law Court has rendered the
following opinion:
We think the exceptions in this case must
be overruled.
The indictment is sufficient, State vs.. Col
Inns, 48 Maine, 2l7; State VS.. Casey, As
Maine, 435.
The exclusion of the question put to the
government witness (Harrington)on cross ex-
animation was not erroneous. The ex-
tent to which a cross examination relating
to collateral matters may be carried is within
the discretion of the presiding Judge. By
whom the witness was employed to act as de-
tective was entirely irrelevant to the issue
being tried; and upon principles of public
policy, as well as in the exercise of the dis
cretionary powers of presiding Judge, such
question NAV properly be excluded. The
employment of detectives is not in all cases
discreditable. In many cases it is the only
way of bringing the offenders to justice. 1t
is as important that laws should be enforced
as it is that they should be enacted. If
it is commendable in the legislature to
enact laws prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors or of diseased meat, or other unwhol-
some food, it is equally commendable on the
part of the community, to endeavor to en-
force them; and persons who are willing to
spend their time or money in efforts to en-
force such laws, should not be unnecessarily
exposed to the ill-will of the persons whose
crimes are thereby detected. We think the
presiding judge committed no error in ex-
Guiding the proposed question.
| Nor was there any error on the part of the
judge in calling the jury into court and en-
deavOring to impress upon them the impor-
lance of an agreement Nor do we discover
any thing in the remarks made by the Judge to
the jury which we can say as matter Of law
it was illegal for him to say. A judges
style and manner are his own. We have no
more right to dictate to the judge of the Su-
perior Court what the style or manner of his
address to jury shall be than he has to die
tate to us what ours shall be. 1t is enough
for US to say that we find nothing illegal in
the course pursued by the presiding judge
| in this case.

One week ago two burglars broke into
blacksmith shop at Readfeld, and securing
tools entered the Maine Central station and
attempted to tap the safe. The case was
given to Detective True of Hallowell, who
took one of the burglars to Hallowell, Tues
day night. The prisoner is named Edward
Cunningham, and was captured by Sheriff
Mains of Lisbon Falls, who arrested him at
Yarmouth on suspicion of being connected
with the Lisbon Falls burglary of Saturday,
and identified him from the description sent
out by Detective True.

of Act No. o Of the Salvation
War.

Last evening the fiery Salvation warriors
fought in the open sir, beneath the celestial
canopy, with the stars and the glow of the
FREELY for lights. The arrestipg act was
again presented and the same old rigmarOle
was on the tapis. The shouting warriors,
the triumphal pageant were again seen and
the roll of the chariot wheels confused" the
multitude as much as ever. 1t was said of a
Roman hero after he had six triumphs that
he would have his seventh and he did Last
evening the blood washed warriors had their
sixth triumphal procession in honor of
the Salvation war, and they are looking
forward to the seventh The chariot wheels,
however. struck snag yesterday, when the
Army were shut out of Meonian Hall. They
had creaked so harshly and continuously in
that vicinity that the tenants of the Meonian
Block were beside themselves, and it became
necessary to close the hall. The rank and
file were in peck of trouble when the hour
for the conflict arrived, and obviously hung
around the portals of the hall When the
leaders found they were ousted they secured
the city for roof beneath which to meet
but were unable to find one, Five warriors
were seen peeking into the windows Of the
skating rink. One citizen, whose home is
adjacent to a hall, leased the room in a
hurry so that the chariot wheels should not
rumble him out of house and home. Finally it
was given out that the Army would fight in j.
s. whitney's yard on Gage street. The march,
this time, commenced at the quarters of the
Army at the north end. Again the tumult
waxed great. Capt. Shirley. Happy Jack,
Capt. Thatcher and the Cadet shouted
and leaped, while the drums doomed
up proudly magnificent. The sinuous stream
of people wound around the corner up Bridge
Hill. Just below the railroad crossing, boom,
boom. boom went the bass drum, John Holt
beating. This continued half way up the
hill, when the arm of the law extended itself.
The drum was seized. and John Holt and
Smith arrested. The men, however, were
not detained. Down State street moved the
procession. "The superb palaces and por-
ticos by which had rolled the ivory chariots
Of Marius and Caesar had long mouldered in
to Dust" but the shouting iegions were
there and 1.-THE old chariot" was rolled along
