At recent meeting of the Baptist Associl-
ton for the Pottsyille, Pa, district Rev. Mr..
BiXby, chairman of the Prohibition County
Committee. made a violent assault on the RIM
traffic and argued for a prohibitory law. Mr.
BiXby delivered prohibition addresses in this
county during the recent campagn.1 Rev. F.
;. Dobbn replied in the most ncsive Ian
gua@e, saying it was not necessary to be a
prohibition party man to be temperance
man. Rev. b. b. Hershey, in Il vigorous
speech, said he had seen the birth of the Re-
publican party and had always voted with it.
and he saw no reason to desert it now. He
was opposed to preachers running political
campaign. doNetailing in politics with the
meeting. Rev. DR.. Biting, secretary of the
Baptist Publication Society, followed. He said
he was extremely sorry to see prohibition AS a
party measure introduced into Baptist asso-
citation. This was the first time he had ever
heard it, and he hoped it would be the last.
This was no place to talk about political par
ties. The introduction of such questions
would inevitably engender i'll feeling and even
tually disruption. Il am not with you when
you discuss il as party politics. | be>eech of
you, brethren, LET us hear no more talk of this
kind" The matter was then dropped amid
intense excitement.

The Prohibition Problem.

We publish in another column letter from
Prof. f. w. Gowen and believe him to be sin
cere in what he says and does, but on some
points we think he is in error. The prohibition
vote in Waldo Co. this year was largely COM
posed of men heretofore straight Greenback-
ers and who have such peculiar ideas of fl
nance that they cannot find place in either
OF the Old parties One of these men, who was
one OF the nine delegates composing the Waldo
county prohibition convention and recei,c ed a
nomination for a county office, had Democratic
ballots printed with his name on them for dis
trbution among his friends. He thus worked
against the ticket he had helped to nominate
and allied himself with Democrats for the
sake of increasing his own vote. This is a
case of which we have personal knowledge.
and there may be others. Votes were thus
cast against such pronounced and active tenn
perance men as DIR. Billings and our candi-
dates for sheriff and county attorney. and aid
given to the candidates of the saloons, which
boast now of the money contributed to ensure
their election. We of course acquit our CORE
spondent of any part in this business, but it
not prohibitionists or even temperance men
but must be counted as allies of the rum infer
est.
1T should also be stated that the bill provid-
lng Tor commission to investigate the alcohol
lie traffic was prepared by Republican Senator
ana passed by the Republican Senate to be de-
feated by a Democratic House. If our Prohi-
Diton friends, instead of organizing third
party movement which can only help the
Democrats, should exert themselves to secure a
Republican Congress this bill would no doubt
speedily become law, together with such
other temperance legislation as public Senti-
ment demands. The fate of this bill illus
trates the well known fact that in Maine as in
the Congress of the United States temperance
legislation is advocated and enacted by Repub-
lican> and opposed by Democrats.

with business by Il never to be forgotten trip
over Moose Pond to Castle HARMONY Moose
Pond Is lovely sheet of water which washes
the shores of Hartland and Harmony. In the
latter town, on one of the loveliest spots de-
signed by nature, is built a club house STYLED
Castle Harmony. The club is composed of
fifteen gentlemen, all belonging in Massachu-
sets except one, Mr.. A. Linn. of HartIand.
The house has been built ten years. The mem
bers represent $12 900 and this is said to be
the richest club in Maine. The moving spirit
IS Henry Hastings, of Boston, or Commodore
Hastings, as he is known by his companions.
The club house is fitted up with all the luxur-
les wealth can provide ard the club own
eleven hundred acres of land they have no fear
OF being molested by neighbors. Large guam
titles OF corn have been streWn along the
shores as feeding ground for wild ducks, and
so well known are these grounds that black
ducks from all the region about come there to
feed The game affords fine sport for the visi-
tors. The larder at the time of our visit was
well supplied with ducks. The waters of the
pond also abound in black bass, pckerel and
white perch. Mr.. Linn having stocked it with
1000 OF the former game fish. The club house
Is perfect museum. Upon every door, win
dow and picture frame isperched specimen of
the 1eathered tribe, from native of the Maine
woods to the white swan, and the animal king
dom IS also well represented. The trip across
the lake was made on a small side-wheel steam
er through the courtesy of the owner, Leonard
IiDDetts. The engineer Is VIM. III. Watson,
while the wheel is handled by Joseph Harding,
the lake pilot: The company consisted of G.
}: Shaw, A. Linn, A. J. Moore, j. c. Ham, G.
NJ. Lancy, Alton Bowman, George Wheeler,
James Mitchell. j. 0. Bradbury, Thos. f.
French, d. E. Thompson, of Hartland, C. w.
Haney and the journal representative, of Bel
fast. We cannot do justice to the trip and will
not venture upon description. Commodore
Hastings gave the party royal reception, as he
does all visitors; He thoroughly enjoys life at
the Castle and spends his summers there.
When the Commodore and Mr. Linn engage in
conversation, the crowd stand back and enjoy
it. Gen. Butler is a great friend of Commo-
dore Hastings and frequently visits Castle Har-
mony.
One of the most agreeable gentlemen met
was Mr.. }. o. Bradbury, county attorney for
Somerset county, and first seIectman of the
town. The Journal is under obligations to
him, as well as to Mr.. Linn, Mr.. Shaw, Mr..
Mitchell and many others. The journal con-
graduates the citizens of Harand on their rail-
road scheme and hopes their expectations may
be realized.
