Ex-Gov. st. John in his speech last night
said that during the time the Republican
party had control of the government the
consumption of liquor in this country in
creased from two gallons per capita to
twelve gallons per capita, and he appeared
to think that the Republican party was re-
sponsible for it. Now within that time there
have been good many widespread temper
ance movements. The Good TemplarS have
grown up largely within that period, so have
the Reform clubs, so has the Prohibition
party. Indeed there has been all
over the country during that time
a general awakening on the subject.
Gov. st. Johns figures would make it appear
as If the nation had been plunging deeper
and deeper into drunkenness, and that too
in spite of prohibition parties or tenn
perance organizations. But the truth Is he
ignored the very important fact that there
has been a remarkable change in the kind OF
liquors drunk within twenty years. In 1868
the consumption of distilled spirits in the
country was 213 gallons per capita. In 1888
it had fallen to LA gallons per capita. Fer
mented liquors had driven out to large ex-
tent the distilled liquors. Now it is easy to see
in the light of this change how great many
more gallons of liquor might have been con-
sumed in this country in 1888 than in 1868,
and still there be good many fewer drink
ers. To Illustrate. In community OF one
hundred persons, ninety of whom were total
abstainers and ten drinkers, if the ten should
change their tipple from whiskey to lager
beer the consumption of liquor in that com
munity would enormously increase, and IL
the fact of the change was not stated the
inference would be that the other ninety or
the most of them had taken to drink. 30
without explanation the inference from Gov.
st. Johns statement would be that the peo-
pie of the United States had been plunglng
into drunkenness at fearful rate, ana that
all the various temperance movements hao
been useless, which is by no means the case

The Hon. William Emery of Alfred was so
fearful that the Democrats might nominate
him for Congress in this district that he has
written letter to the Biddeford Sentinel to
tell them that he would not accept a nomina-
ton were it to be rendered unanimously.
He hopes that Judge Cleayes may be pre-
vailed upon to run again, which raises a
strong suspicion that the Hon. Mr.. Emery
has terrible grudge against the Hon.
Mr. Cleayes. There is no prospect, how
ever, that he will be able to pay it off in this
way Mr.. Emery mas the reputation of be-
ing very sharp man, but we venture to say
that Judge Cleaves is a match for him. Mr..
Emery says that Representatives to Congress
ought to be statesmen instead of money
bags, and though he does not give this as a
reason for declining, he might do so with
great prOprety.

The Democratic candidates for governor
since the war, up to the present year, have

three tines, Franklin Smith, Charles w.
Roberts, Gwice) Charles P. Kimball. twice
Joseph Titcomb, twice Joseph H. Williams,
Alonzo Garcelon and Harris M. PlaiS-
ted twice. Two of them-Gen. Roberts and
Gen. Plaisted-(the latter was thrust upon
them by the Greenbackers) were soldiers. All
the rest were civilians. 1t will be observed
that the man they have especially delighted
to honor is the Hon. Eben +. Pillsbury,
whom they nominated three times in success
sion. And they gave him $4,000 votes, while
two years afterwards they gave to Gen. Rob
erts, who was brave soldier, only $4,000
Eleven thousand more Democrats turned out
to throw their ballots for the man who stig-
matized the soldiers as ''Lincoln's hirelings,"
than went to the polls to vote for the gallant
colonel of the Second Maine. That's the
way they have been loving the soldier.

Removing Snow.

The Sanitary Engineer is of opinion
that there is no method of removing
snow from city streets that is worth
talking about except by earring it away
bodi y. The use of salt is not adapted
to the removal of considerable quanti-
ties of snow. If so applied and in suf-
ficient volume it would be found much
more costly than carting. Moreover.
briny slush, the inevitable result of the
application of salt, is nuisance in
itself. and not easily gotten rid of when
in large quantities. 1t always makes a
freezing mixture, producing temper
atnro OF about zero Fahrenheit, even in
thawy weather, and injuriously affect
ing the feet OF both men and animals
which are brou rht in contact with it.

the care of various physicians, and tried

health is completely restored. ~ Mary

Lime in Agrionlture.

Lime is specially valuable agent in the
French modeor farming. Inquiries have
Leen instituted to poll, as it were, French
agriculturists as to their views on that
substance. Their replies have been
summarized as bearing on the physical
and chemical action of lime ON soils.
The exphcaticns of science are not quite
satisfactory so far. Added to clay lands
lime opens and renders them more
frioble, permitting in dry seasons the
moisture to ascend aud battle the parched
soil, while preventing fssurcs and all
caking. Chemically, lime induces decay
in organic matters dilllcult to be decom-
posed, Transforming them into assimilable
fool. Perhaps it facilitates the limita-
tion of potash in clays. In the form of
carbonateit favors the process ofnitrifca-
ton, but not so powerfully as in the sui.
phate state. Quick-lime acts contrarily.
A mixture of lime and manure is held hv
very many to be inmical, as it expels
ammonia. But some remembering that
azote exists in three states in manure, and
in that primarily of assimilable nitric
acid, whose formation lime promotes
such a gain isnot to be ignored Again,
lime, according to competent authorities,
renders also phosproric acid assimilable
Swiss scientists hold lime as necessary
in the soil TO induce the action potash.
On pcaty land lime corrects acidity; in
this case it should be applied in the quick
form. For meadow top-drcssing lime
must ever be applied in the compost state.
lfiarm-yarl manure be added the earth
and lime ingredients are mixed apart
some time previously. The pasturages
of Normandy attest the excellency of
this fertillizing agent. In the case of
tired land lime should be applied in
small and repeated doses.
