Democracy and Prohibition

Elsewhere we publish an article from the
Belfast Age, the Democratic organ of Waldo
county, in relation to Mayor behring's en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. It is rare
that Democratic organ INDUCES in so much
truth-telllng in regard to the Democratic
party as does the Age in this article. The
age declares that Mayor Deering is ''run-
ming contrary to principle of the Demo
cratic party" 1t declares also that the
national Democratic party stands com
mltted against all sumptuary laws, "and
while it does not stand opposed to
the execution of such laws, it leaves
them to be enforced by persons injured by
tnelr violation, the same as other laws"
The prohibitionists are characterized as
ianatics' with whom the Democratic party
has no sympathy. The Argus has already
formally declared that it is opposed to the
law and the Bangor Commercial jeers al pro-
hibition almost daily.
Thus we have the expressions of three
representative Democratic organs in three
Inherent sections of the State They all CO.

law is delusion and snare and that it
ought to 60. The Argus processes to be in
favor OF the enforcement of the law so long
as it is on the statute book, but two years ago
when Mayor Deering and Marshal Andrews
months together neglected to enforce it the
Argus failed to call attention to their delin-
quencY. The Age and the Commercial do
not pretend to be In favor of enforcement
even.
Yet it is tothe party whose representative
organs these journals are that the prohibi-
tionists who are engaged in smashing" the
Republican party propose to commit the
keeping ofthe probibitory law. "The Repub

Marshal Andrews should provide himself
with Directory or, what will perhaps ans
wer the purpose just as well, list of the
Democratic voters OF Portland. In making
out complaint against Mr.. Martin ]. Flah-
erty for rumselling the other day he forgot
to put in the middle initial SO that Mr..
Flaherty escaped on the plea of misnomer.
Mr.. Flaherty is member of the Democratic
City Committee for Ward Four, Marshal
Andrews's ward, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that Dir. Andrews has seen his name
in print great many times. If the Mar
shaPs memory is so bad that he fails to re-
member the full name Of so distinguished a
rumseller as Mr. Flaherty he will be in con-
slant danger of making mistakes in refer
ence to rumsellers of less prominence. Thus
the cause of prohibition which he has so
sincerely at heart win suffer. He should
buy Directory at once and consult it fire.

Thus in the April number, Prof. Tucker reviews
DIR. Newman Smyth's sermons ito Workingmen >
while DIR. Smyth himself discusses "the Claims of
Labor" in its relations to capital These articles
are real contribution to the discussion of this
serious and practical problem. The writer's both
evince much sympathy for the complaints of work
ingmen and are sincerely DESTROYS of aiding the
cause of labor in adjusting its relations to capital
The SUBJECTS one that compels the attention as
well as deserves the sympathy of thinking men
We hope the Review will continue in the good path
on which it has entered till valuable practical re-
suits are reached. Prof. Richardson of Dartmouth

A quick-witted druggist recently extin-

Some of tie lawyers in the Tombs court,
New York, Saturday, had considerable fun
with an organ grinders monkey. A woman
whose little boy had been bitten by the mon
key, demanded that the beast be put to
death. The organ grinder testified that the
boy grabbed a penny thrown to the monkey
and that the latter, like an intelligent ami.
NAL, possessed himself Of the treasure. The
lawyers suggested that the monkey had rem
dered himself liable, under the statutes, for
highway robbery. The magistrate thought
the question presented SO knotty that he i'm
mediately dismissed the case, and turned
woman, boy, monkey and handorgau out of
court together.
President Eliot says that without special
extraFagance or fast living in any way a
Harvard student can easily spend $500 a
year, and some get rid of much more. A
calculation of the average expense at twenty
five Of the prencipal colleges, according to
the statements Of their respective catalogues
as TO price of board, tuition, and general ex-
penses, shows that it is a trifie over $500.
An average college education, then, costs
5000 year, or So, 900. OF course, the thing
can be done for less than this. Tuition may
be RENTED by he gaining of scholarship,
and young man who is determined to sup
port himself may do SO in whole or in part
by teaching aud other work.

Reports from across the water are taking
on more pacific aspect. 1t Is even asserted
that Russia and England have agreed upon
the delimitation of the Afghan frontier, and
that the only obstacle to peace is the recent
battle at Penjdeh. The arrangement is said
to contemplate the cession of Penideh to the
Russians, provided the Afghans consent It
does not seem very probable however, that the
English would take the risk of weakening their
influence in Afghanistan that would be in
volyed in advising the Afghans to surrender
part of their territory, and it is doubtful if
the arrangement if any has been made con-
tains any such feature.

John Boyle O'Reilly thinks the present

gotten up by the English government to IA

Indignation among the Irish people would be
great; she further saw that if ,umers could
be circulated to the effect that Ireland was
beginning to forget her hatred of England
and would receive the representative of the
Queen with all due respect, this indignation
would increase to s1ch an extent that riot
would probably ehsue, or, at least, acts of
crime would be committed which could be
used effectively in Parliament to urge the pas

the part of the Irish members of Parliament

All reports agree that Prince Bismarck is
anxious that peace shall be maintained be-
tween Russia and England. A conflict be-
tween those two powers would inevitably
open tie Eastern question, and to prevent a
settlement of it detrimental to her interests
Germany would very likely be compelled to
take hand in the contest, and at present
neither Bismarck nor the German people de-
sire war. Besides the Germans are very
heavy investors in Russian bonds, and war
would entail upon them immense losses.
This anxiety on the part of Bismarck that
the peace shall be kept furnishes the strong
est ground for hope that it will be,

CONCERNING THE INCREASE OF TRAMPs.
Boston Journal.
There is complaint about the increase of
tramps. Such an increase should cause no
surprise. Great Britain is sending us yearly
through Canada from $4,000 to $4,000 ''as-
sisted emigrants," who cannot take care OF
themselves at home. It is the result of the
British policy to make everything cheap, SO
as to undersell the world. Having made
them paupers, Great Britain sends them TO
us to take care of themselves as best they
can. Many of them are forced to be tramps.
