What is Said Of Our Fire.

Now, there should be a temperance revival
in Belfast, city in which the prohibtory law
has been more openly violated than in almost
any other place in Maine. Three Belfast men
got drunk. and the cost Of their spree is a $50
600 fire in which two of them lost their lives
The cont1a9ratiOn was the worst that has Wis
tied Belfast in twelve years. Its field was the
business centre Of the city, and it destro, ed,
with other buildings, the best bOtel, BY far that
Belfast had.
If this disaster arouseS the moral sentiment
of Belfast to vigorous enforcement of the
laws, cleaning out of the grog shops and a
reformation among the boon companions of the
unfortun.tes who Were burned to death, it Will
be easy TO see the blessing through the disguise.
The calamity carries its own moral-a moral as
much foreother places a. for Belfast. BY chance
the drunken freak was executed there. 1t
might have been born Of Lewiston hOOdlum'
bra'1 and the scene, not the moral, might nave
been changed.
The burned district doubtless will be rebuilt
in better style than before, at short notice, as
Belfast has an abundance of capital. enterprise
and gumpton. Lewiston journal.
Unless Belfast provides herself with addi-
tional means of protection against fires to the
she is likely to wake up some wild night and
md two-thirds Of her population robbed of
shelter and all of her business blocks in ashes.
1t would be the proper course to follow the
example OF Bangor and remove the last chance
OF hire to the remotest distance. Bangor

A Mormon Insult to the Flag.

The head of the Mormon church selected the
4th of July for an insult to the national flag,
and but for the forbearance and discretion of
the Federal authorities riot and bloodshed
would have followed. When the sun rose July
4th it was seen that the Stars and Stripes were
at half mast in Salt Lake City on the City Hall,
county court house, the Desert News office,
Mormon Tabernacle, church tthing office, John
Taylor's residence, called Cards House, Nor
men Church office and Salt Lake Theatre.
Some of these flags Were subsequently hoisted
to the mast head at the demands of the citizens
but others remained undisturbed during the
day. the Mormons threatening to shoot any
man who lnterfered with them, and Governor
Murray prevailing upon the crowd not to resort
10 force. The q. A. X. Post which was cele-
bratng near the city We're informed of the diff
Guilty and came in, after passing resolutions to
run the flags to their proper places, but they
Yielded to the counsels of Governor Murray. A
Salt Lake despatch says "All who are immedi-
ately responsible for this reasonable piece of
business disclaim knowing anything about il,
but it leaked out that the order thus to Insult
the nation at large and the Government of
Utah came direct from the head of the church."
The Mormons elected to keep the Fourth as
"a day of mourning" because of the attempts
of the Government to enforce the law against
polygamy but as the Democratic Lewiston Ga
zette well says: "This foolhardy proceeding,
like most OF the acts of the Mormon saints of
these days. only intensfes the popular demand
that Utah shall obey the law"

The Vacation Season.

The season opened last week, despite the I'M
favorable weather then prevailing, and this
week finds all our summer resorts fairly start
ed on what there is reason to believe will be
prosperous year. Bar Harbor cottages were
early in demand, and that noted watering place
will as usual have its thousands of visitors. The
hotels at Old Orchard Beach have ten boarders
now where they had one at this time last year,
and some of them did more business during the
month of June Than during July last year. The
appearance of the Squirrel shows that the season
has opened at Squirrel island, and the best proof
of the growth of that delightful watering place
is found in the growth of that unique and adj
mirabe vacation journal. To make long story
short. the news from all our coast resorts is of
the most satisfactory character, and this in
cudes the places near at hand-Northport,
Islesboro, Castne and Fort Point
We should like TO see careful estimate made
of the number of visitors to Maine during the
vacation season each year and of their probable
expenditures. Both totals would, we are sure,
surprise all who have not given the matter
much thought. Certainly as a factor in Names
prosperity the summer visitor is not to be de-
spised, but on the contrary he and she should be
welcomed and their stay made as pleasant as
possible. We have said this many times before,
but it will bear repetition. We want to EN-
courage summer travel to Maine. We want to
see the whole sea coast populous, the waters COW
cred with pleasure crafts, and the tents of the
campers-out CLEAN white through the woods by
the inland waters. There is renewed health
and strength in sojourn here for the summer
visitor, and millions in it for Maine For eX-
ample, the Manchester Mirror says of New
Hampshire:
1t is estimated that the hotels and summer
boarding houses of this State are able to accom-
MEDIATE sixty thousand guests and that they have
on an average from July to September about
10000 Probably nearly hundred thousand
come and go during the summer season, and it
Is stating 1t low to say that their average eX-
penditures while here are fifty dollars. This
makes total of about five millions, very
large share of which goes TO pay New Hamp-
shire people for labor and articles which are
produced by their labor. This annual income
OF five millions, which supports some of our
railroads, makes very many of our farms valu-
able, enables many of our merchants to make
money and helps directly or indirectly major
ity of the people of the State to get good homes
and save dollar for a rainy day.
This applies 10 Maine as well as New Hamp-
shire, and scarcely, if at all, in less degree.

Either the credit of the city of Boston or the
cheapness of money is illustrated by the fact
that the financial department of the city has
just declined the loan of a million dollars, up to
Nov |. al 2.25 per cent per annum. 1t is be-
ieved that the city can borrow money cheaper
than that. three per cent. bond issued by
the city could probably be placed at premium.
1.-THE Beacon.
Belfast is paying six per cent. on her indebt-
edness, but offers an unexceptionable per
cent bond in place of the 6's. 1t seems as
though, with proper effort, something might be
done in the way of refunding.
