Gen. Dow now says that the present coun-
ty attorney has nullifed the Prohibitory
law. Here is what he said not longer ago
than the 9Th of last November
''The Maine law is as well executed as any
other of statutes, and its effect for good upon
our moral and material interests is so great that
it cannot be measured by any mode of computa-

A GRoTEsQUE AMENDMENT.
Rosfon Advertiser,

Could ANYTHING be more grotesque than
the acknowledgements that the knights of La
Dor in the first Maine district propose to or
ganize to defeat the reelection of Congress
man Reed, putting in his place Mr.. ". Il.
CIiffordp No man has been more active In
looking out for the interests of the laborlng
men Of his district and of the country than
MT. Reed, and it is no injustice to say that
there IS nothing in Mr.. Clifford's antece::
dents or surroundings to warrant, the belief
that he has any special sympathy. fol. the
laboring classes. We are more INCLINED,
however, to think that the knights OF LABOR,
like the Grand Army and many other secret
organizations, are men who will not consent
to allow their votes to be disposed OF by the
n oliticians who claim to lead them.
The Portland daily press., 1886-09-03

The attempt to boom Clifford as laboring
man is failure. The only effect of it is to
set everybody to laughing.

INDICATIONS IN MAINE.
Rnston Advertiser.

Mr.. st. Johns first speech in the, Maine
campaign, delivered at Portland on Tuesday
evening, does not indicate that the Prohibi-
tionists will cut wide swath in Maine poll
tics this year. They have never cast large
vote for the third party in that State, except
when it was Greenback party, for the very
good reason that sensible men know that the
Republican party is willing to do as much
as any party. can do to restrict tne Iq.
more law but more men willing to be as good
as the laws are. But this is not political
work.

is generally at the expense of the

Rev. I. Jewell returned home from
his summer vacation on Saturday last
refreshed and invigorated by his
"loitering by the sea" and preached
telling sermon on Sunday night,
his subject being the "Fast Young

The locust tree beetle is injur;ng
the tree this season, and many of the
groves present brown and sere ap-
peara1ce. This insect makes its APP
pearance periodically and disappears
for several years. The beetle preys
upon the foliage of the trees. At one
time the total destruction OF the To-
Gust was threatened, so great was the
ravages of the insect for series of
years together; when it suddenly dis
appeared, and the trees which are of
rapid growth and very tenacious of
life, again regained something of
their pristine vigor. This season
their old enemy appears to be attak-
ing the trees with something of its
vigor in former years.

order to give additional zest to the
occurrence 1t is added that this sort
of thing is getting too common in
