Deering's DISGUISE,
THE MASK STRIPPED FROM PORTLAND'S
'PROhIBITION' MAYOR.

THE MASK STRIPPED FROM PoRTLAND's
"PROhIBITION" MAYOR.
The Portland Press says: MAYOR Deering
appears to have preserved a very discreet 81
ience on the collectorship question since Mr..
Bradbury ceased to be candidate. He breaks
it now TO say that the Bangor Commercial de-
serves the condemnation of all good citizens.
Yet there is abundant reason to believe that the
Commercial did nothing worse than tell the
truth"
The Commercial replies: We have heretofore
denounced the thin temperance guise which
Mayor Deering, of Portland. has assumed in
order to appear in the next Democratic State
Convention as a rohbitory-Democratic candi-
date for Governor. We shall continue to ''tell
the truth" about all such hypocrites as Mayor
Deering, who pretend to have much zeal for
enforcing the Prohibitorv law, but the color of
whose faces bears witness to the fact that they
do not practice what they preach. Ii is well
known that Mayor Deering had friends, who,
like himself thought he would have chance
to come in for the Colectorship of Portland as
dark horse. Doubtless if Deering can out-do
Neal Dow as "A temperance crank. and get the
Democrats TO nominate him for Governor. he
will be great man.
The Wing and Courier comments: The
Commercials denunciation of red-faced Dem
ocrats is a new departure in Democratic jour
nalism.

Dime Novels.

A youth brought up on novels is pretty sure
to have an over-stimulated imagination and no
common sense. To walk up the steps of mar
bic palaces and come into contact with heroes
and heroines of phenomenal virtues and vices
Is apt to unfit boy for splitting wood for the
kitchen stove or doing chores about the house
After spending the evening in consuming the
dime novel and breathlessly following the for
tunes of women with sanity faces and men
with overgrown mustaches, everyday life seems
bit insipid, and it becomes hard to crawl out
of bed at five O'Clock in the morning with the
mercury at zero and go to the Office to sweep
the floor for two dollars and half a week.
What our boys need is less spice and more
corned beef. Good solid reading which makes
them feel that they are in their glory when they
are furnishing the brass on the shop door be-
cause it is the first step in the upward climb, is
what they ought to have. A single book which
makes drudgery delightful because it is good
beginning is better than thousand which in
flame the fancy and render real life tasteess.
The dime novel is the right bower of the devil
when he is playing for boys head and heart.

Is NOT our esteemed neighbor, the Intel
~ligencer, in error when it says there is
anything peculiar in tie result OF the
vote on Tuesday night for gas trusteesr
Is it not also in error in asserting the fol-
lowing upon the same point: In the de-
sire 10 accomplish what they had in mind,
come members cumulsted their vote, in the
confusion putting their three votes on two
men or perhaps one. The return is clear
ly a mathematical impossibilty on any
other theory"
Let Us a~nalyze the situation. There
were, according to the Intelligencer, a to-
tai poll of 40 votes. Now if it will add up
the votes polled for the several candidates,
the sum will just make l2O votes, the num-
Der entitled to be polled. L. would have
been possible for even FIVE candidates to
have been placed in nomination last night,
and for every ore Of them to have received
a majority vote. Let US prove it
If Messrs. SPEIDEL and LEWIS
had received 81 votes each, which is
a majority, Messrs, Logan, Rolf and JEP-
son could have received &c votes each and
still there would have been no peculiarly
or impossible result about it, because
twice 81 plus three times 26 make exact
ly 40, the aggregate vote to which Coun'
ell was entitled. Probably we ought not
to aflict our readers with this simple bit of
arithmetic and yet it would not have been
doing our duty to our esteemed n~eighbor
to let it grope around in the dark, and
mayhsp accuse the Democrats Of AL sorts
Of wicked things. .
