PROHIBITION IN MAINE.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
Every year in Main some amend
ment to the already stringent liq-
uor law is adopted. BY this time
the statutes should be rock-ribbed
and hawless; but they are not. At
least we judge so from Congress
man Dingley's paper-an ultra
prohibition sheet-which states
that con Thursday, Fast Day,
more drunkenness was to be seen
on the streets of Lewiston than
for long time previous. Intoxi-
cation on the streets is on the in
crease"
Editor Dana takes this as a text
to advocate high license and calls
upon Mr.. Dingley to join him, as
he must see at last that prohibi-
ton is failure even in Maine,
where it has been tried fora quar-
ter of century or more.
1t would be a curious and in
teresting, if not edifying, matter
to find out how much the con-
sumption of opium and other mar
cotics had increased IN Maine
since prohibitory liquor Legislation
has obtained there. An attempt
was made to discover that fact in
the Senate of the United States,
but voted down as an amendment
to the Investigation to the traffic
in intoxicating spirits. This did
not apparently evince fair dealing
on the part of temperance advo-
Gates who, Mr.. Stone says, direct
all their wrath agains the liquor
dealer, and coddle the drunkard.

The President to Gen. Lawton.

1t is very generally known that
the Russia mission was rendered
to General Lawton recently by

raised that he, Gen'l. Lawton, was
ineligible on account of not hav-
ing had his disabilities properly
removed, the General declines to
embarrass the administration by
accepting the appointment. The
following letter is a high compli-
pliment to a gentleman whom
Georgia honors:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON April 22d, 1885.
The Hon. Lawton, at Savannah,
Ga.
My DEAR SIR-I regret exceed
ingly that for any reason the Ad-
ministration is to be deprived of
your honorable and valuable SER
vices in the mission to Russia.
The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral upon the question of your al
legged disability under the XIVth
Amendment to the Constitution
was so completely satisfactory,an
removed so entirely from my mind
all doubts as to your eligibility,
that upon reading it l at once de-
cided to ask you to accept the po-
sition, and 1 learn from Secretary
of State that he telegraphed you to
that effect, bat it seems that your
letter of the Seventeenth was then
on it's way, which was followed by
that of the eighteenth re-affirming
your decision. l sincerely regret
this determination ON your part,
so unselfshly formed and patri-
otically expressed, and whilst l
must reluctantly accept it as an
announcement of your deliberate
desire and personal wish, | can
but feel that the country is great
ly a loser by it. With sincere re-
gard and high respect, l am your
obedient servant,
