1t is fact that at the very time the
people of this nation were crying hard
times, one year ago, the citizens of
Maine, according to the official records,
were depositing more money in the

since the State was formed.

Inasmuch as the publication of the

Who Pays High License in Chicago.
The following local news notes from
the Chicago Tribune show the manner
in which the Illinois High License law
works:
"a Milwaukee brewing company
yesterday deposited its check with the
City Collector and took out So saloon
licenses for its customers in Chicago"
dug. 6.
"The brew are coming forward
and helping the saloon-keepers to take
out licenses for the second period One
brewing firm paid $4,666 yesterday,
another So, 900, and a third $4,000, to
procure licenses for city. saloon.keepers.''
dug 7.
"A prominent Chicago brewer yes
terday deposited his check for S12, 900.
with the City Collector, and obtained
II saloon licenses for his customers."-
dug 8.
So. in three days, some two hundred
licenses were granted to dives so poor
that rich brewers and distilleries have
to keep them in business. The interests
of these liquor manufacturers require
that they push the saloon business end
lessly beyond the demand; for this is a
business that reverses the old rule OF
demand and supply. Here the supply
creates the demand. Free lunches, pict.
ure galleries, free concerts and a score
Of other attractions are relied upon to
draw young men and old men, often
women, within the reach of the tempta-
tlons Of the saloon. The object is to
awaken an appetite for strong drink.
Start the appetite and the brewer is
happy. The strength Of the saloon is
the brewery and the distillery. There
is the place to strike. Remember that
there is a United States officer to-day
in every brewery and distillery in the
country, SO that not gallon of liquor
can be made without the consent of
that oficer.-Ihe Voice.
Wouldn't our loao high license, ask

Let us see how they would manage
if. in place of the amended Local Opt
ion law the Jno. S. Writ license bill
were adopted. We will suppose the
lo,o high license law is in operation in
Cecil. All who can manage to get
signers will take out the license. If
they cannot raise the funds the brew
ers and wholesale liquor men will soon
fix them up. Then legal depots are
established in all parts of the county to
which whiskey and beer can be shipped
openly and legally. All the Jim Irwins
and jug dealers will have no trouble to
get supplies conveniently to retail out
at night, and about public meetings.
Drunk men will multiply by the score,

PROSPECTUS.
1.-THE Poets and Poetry of Cecil
County,"

The subscriber proposes to pub
lish, as early as practicable in 1887,
a book to be called "Ihe Poets and
Poetryof Cecil County," consisting of
selections from the poetical writings
of the late David Scott, of John, Da
vid Scott of James, Tobias Rudolph,
Zebulon Rudolph, William P. Ewing,
Edwin E. Ewing, John Cooley,
George w. Cruikshank, Rev. William
Duke, John H. Kimble, Folger Nc

land (nee Mary f. Haines). and per-
haps two or three others.
The poetry of each of the writer's
will be preceded 10y short bio
graphical sketch which will add
greatly to the value of the book.
1t seems proper in this connection
to say that the publication of the
book was suggested by the desire of
many 9th friends of the late School
Commissioner David Scott, to per.
petuaLe his memory by the publica.
ton of his poems, which he was pre-.
vented from doing himself by unfor
tunate circumstances. The subscrib-
er, who had been intimate with Mr..
Scott for more than thirty years, un-
dertook the work Of collecting his
poems, at the instance of some of
Mr.. SCOTS friends; but, after having
collected the greater part of them, it
became apparent that they were not
numerous enough to Justify
their publication in a volume
by themselves, and the work
OF collecting the writing OF the
other native poets, and those who,
though not natives of the county,
have resided and written in it, was
commenced.
The work has been prosecuted for
the greater part Of year. and the re-
suit has Deen the collection of enough
material to make large volume, in
which the Lteroti of the county and
the friends and relative of the writ
ers should feel enough interest and
pride to insure its publication. The
work has been labor or love, promp-
ted by desire to honor the memory
of deceased friends, rather than to
flatter the vanity of living writer's,
and has been undertaken without
hope of pecuniary gain.
The book will be published by
subscription. aud will contain about
800 pages. The manuscript is nearly
completed and will be given to the
