Prohibitionists at CITY Hall.

The Prohibition rally at City Hall last
night was attended by an audience which
somewhat more than half filled the hall.
Bent's orchestra furnished the music. Gen.
Neal Dow presided and after prayer had
been offered by Rev. ST. Pearson, said that
he had not come to make a speech. He re-
ferred to his political course, however, and
said that he was loyal to the Republican
party until he found it trading with the rum
shops. Gen. Dow then introduced Prof. A.
A. Hopkins of New York, who made the
first speech of the evening
Prof. Hopkins started with these three
propositions: That political parties treat
secondary issues as expediency may dictate
that no party in which there is rum ele
ment larger than that party's maximum ma
jority can make prohibition a prime issue
and that no good result can be achieved with
the temperance element in party divided
as to the measures to be used. Then he
added to these, three more propositions to
the effect that national party with State
organizations is necessary to put down ma
tional issue upheld by national party.
From this material the speaker maintained
the third party to be necessary
to put down the rum traffic for which the
Democratic party has declared in its plat
FORMS
WMuch of the speech was devoted to what
Mr.. Hopkins had to say in regard to Mr..
Blaine and his speeches By rapid and
apparently rather implicated cal
culations. he claimed that the accumulation
of deposits in the savings banks of the State
was mainly due to prohibition. The speaker
said that Mr. Blaine failed to mention in his
speeches the fact that prohibitory laws had
been enacted by the Democratic party be-
fore the Republican party was torn.
Rev. Q. II. Shinn of Deering made few
remarks on the financial needs of the new
party, after which the hats were passed
around. Mr.. Shinn, as well as both the
speakers denied that the Prohibition speak
ers from outside the State were paid by the
Democratic party.
a. Col. r. S. Cheves, who followed the collcc-
ton, devoted the greater part of his speech
to telling the fact that he, being Southern
er, had forgiven the North for the part they
played in the war. He then talked for some
time on the prospects of the new party which
according to the speakers views, is 60 alb
sorb the Republican party and then whip
the Democrats.
After Col. Cheves' speech the meeting adj
1ourned.

AFFLICTED BRUNSWICK.
The Ravages of Diphtheria and Their
Causes.

The Brunswick Telegraph reports this
week that there have been four cases of diph-
liberia in Brunswick during the week. Two
of these, one of which resulted fatally, oc-
Cured in houses of the Cabot Manufacturing
Company.
The members of the State Board of Health
have been in Brunswick, and, as result of
their investigation, have sent letter of adj
vice to the Brunswick Board of Health. The
letter contains this statement of the sanitary
condition of the French quarter of Bruins
wick:
For some weeks this Board has heard com
plants concerning the prevalence of dlph-
liberia in Brunswick, and of the unhealthful
condition of certain premises in the lmmecc
date vicinity of the occurrence of most OF
the cases of this disease. Being requested
to investigate the circumstances. we, the I'M
dersigned, members of the Board, visited the
town on the 9th of August, and carefully
examined the sanitary arrangements In ana
about many buildings in the quarter where
we were informed diphtheria has most pre-:
vailed, particularly those on the Cabot Man
featuring CompanyS grounds.
We found the methods of disposing OF eX-
creta and the common waste OF dwellings TO
be Of the worst character. The prlvleS were
all in horrible condition, some being so full
that their contents overtiowed on the surface
OF the ground. The sink spouts were placed
on the outside of the houses, were badly
made, were all extremely vile, and dlscharg-
ed for the most part very near the houses. In
some places, the narrow spaces between two
closely-set dwellings was used as the recep-
tacle for the most offensive waste materials.
Pig-styes were next to tenements, and cow
stables, reeking with filth, were not far away:
The putrid swill, destined for the food OF
cows, stood around in open buckets. Some
of the wells and csterns were too near the
privies and pools of decomposing llquld 10
escape serious contamination. In short, we
found a condition of affairs utterly inlmlcal
to the hygienic welfare of the people lnha9-
iting the neighborhood-a condition Whlcn
would furnish rational explanation why
diphtheria, typhoid fever, and the dlarrheal
diseases have been so prevalent.

deaths, and during 1885 but 2S. President
Young of the State Board Of Health makes
this comment on these facts: Here are II
deaths all occurring within eight months,
and almost all from diseases which need
never largely prevail, and from conditions
which it is scandalous to let exist. Typhoid
fever, diphtheria, diarrheal diseases, cere-
ro-spinal-meningtis Spotted fever, all these
belong to that group of maladies which have
been characterized as filth diseases The
death rate which this year bids fair to record
in your town probably cannot be equalled
elsewhere in New England and the knowl-
edge of its existence ought to move to imme-
diate action to bring about better order of
things"
