GAIL HAMlLToNo ON PROHIBITION

GAIL. HAMILTON ON PROHIBITION |
GAIL HAMILTON is celebrated over
the country generally by reason Of two
facts: First, she is a very bright and
obsQrvant woman, and secondly, she
is near relative of tho Hon. JAMES
G. BLAINE. She Is full of New Eng
land ideas and impulses, and breathes
the temperance spirit as fiercely as the
best. She is not, 1t seems, however, a
Prohibitionist. She knows Maine by
heart, and what she says on the sub
ject of prohibition comes from a
friend and not an enemy of temper
snce. Here is nut for Prohibitionists
to crack, found in recent article CON-
tributed by her to the North American
Review. 1t is but the universal story,
but the source of the testimony in this
instance makes it doubly convincing.
This is GAIL HAMILToN's testimony
as to prohibition in Maine, tho oldest
of the prohibition States. After dis
cussing the subject at length sho says:
"Finally the Legislature, under tho
influence of the growing temperance
sentiment, forbade the granting Of
these licenses, and liquor was practi-
cally driven out of half the townships
of Maine, and into dark corners of the
other half. Open temptation ceased to
exist, In 1851 the Maine law was
passed, which, for medicinal and me-
chanicRl purposes, established State
Hgencies in every town, thus forcing
rum and whisky into many towns
from which they had long been ban
ished, The actual result is that liquor
Is sold to all who wish TO obtain it, in
nearly every town in the State. En-
, foTcement Of the law seems 10 have
little effect. For the past six years the
city of Bangor has practically en-
joyed free rum, In more than l0C
places liquor Is sold, and no attempt
/ has been made to enforce the law. In
, Bath, Lewiston, Augusta and other
. cities no real difficulty is experienced
> in procuring liquor. In Portland en-
foroement of the law has been faith
fully attempted, yet the liquor traffic
= ilourishes FOR all classes, from the
highest to the lowest"
= Such is tho fact. The remedy pro
posed by her is womanly aud it is thu
true one, simply for every mother I,
l constitute herself temperance society
! and train the child up in the way HI
: should go. This one matter is too of
ten neglected at home. She mos
pointedly puts the case when she says
"BeIore temperance as spublic seEti
. ment, as a moral principle, ~ a man
: ly habit, the saloons must go down
y As political plank, as an election con
. test, a. constitutional amendment
temperance is mere diversion iron
the main issue, is not feared" Il
: this respect GAIL HAMILTON is un
" q iestionably on the right track.

THE Inter Ocean says the Democrats
are determined to make the Dolphin a
failure so as to convince the country
that we cannot build ships here and
therefore ought to buy them abroad.
1t didn't require the failure of the
Dolphin to establish this fact. The
failure of RoBEsoN and CHANDLER,
with hundreds of m1llions at thelr com-
mand, to give US single respectable
war vessel, has long since taught the
people to look elsewhere than to JOHN
ROACH for navy. That money spent
in the purchase of ships is-@aeSrope
would have given us the moSy pOwer-
full navy ON the seas to-day.

"ALL WORK. NO PLAY" ETC.


Tie effort has been made from the
very commencement Of American
business life to tone down the restless
energy and obviate the overwork of the
commercial and professional classes,
but with only imperfect success.
Laboring men have fought persistently
for better pay or fewer hours of lsoor,
and II any preference is possible liz the
premises, they would probably prefer
fewer hours of labor. If there is one
thing above another that is required in
TIE United States it is the economy of
labor. We live, too fast. Those who
work regularly and intelligently in
this country work too much. AS a
general proposition, 1t is ssfe to say
that our entire society is composed of
the losfeTs and the overworked.
Growing out of this restless, un-
curbed energy is the remark so often
heard that "there are too many holt
days In the United States" The
truth is, the holidays are too few. In
the dark days of the french revolr-
ton, when Sunday was abolished and
the Goddess of Liberty set up, the sta
tisticians, efter careful labors came to
the conclusion that without at
least one day of rest in every
seven q man would live in three
years & life that with such
stated neason of quiet or recreation
would measure at least seven years,
The further conclusion was reached
that the average of life could be doub
led by equally dividing work and rest
This truth is one too often forgotten
An employer can get more work il
three days out OF fresh man than ht
can get in six out of a faded one. The
= movement being inaugurated in New
+ York now to create Saturday hal
l holiday is in recognition OF the fac
= last stated. The press has taken VI
the cry, and it looks hereafter as If tn,
poor clerks and workmen there will
Il soon obtain weekly rest of thirty-si1
, instead of twenty-four hours. This il

= ought to be followed as an example il
every portion of the United States, il
Dallas as we'll as in New York. PEG
pie will soon adapt themselves TO tn,

= On this subject the New York Her
aid recently remarked:
"The walls of at least four churche
in New York and Brooklyn echoed
yesterday to the words of preacher
who spoke in joyful recognition of tn
o great work which the Herald has &C
b. complished in pressing the Saturda.
