The Liquor Dealers Organizing for Their
Last Struggle.

The Liquor Dealers Organizing for Their
Last Struggle.
The liquor interest of Massachusetts,
is organizing for its last ditch. The
Massachusetts Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton was organized last week, with a
capital stock of $350,OO0, its member
ship being made of brewers, distillers,
bar-tenders and every body connected
with the business. Dealers are to pay
twenty-five dollars month, manu-
facturers fifty dollars, and the smallest
employer OF gin mill or beer shop
pays ten cents month. They propose
to organize the entire country in this
way, and to protect liquor dealers,
licensed or unlicensed, legal or illegal,
in every way possible. The plans Of
the organization are thus stated by one
of the leaders in the movement
1--WE make no party lines; we look only to
men who will give us protection, and save us
from the righteousness Of spoilers. black
mailers and crazy Temperance men, who
drink at home and keep their cellars stocked;
preachers Of Temperance. Our aim and OBJ
iect are to make the liquor business such as 1t
Is in Europe, as IN nations OF that continent
the LIQUOR men are at the head and front of
society, having the full CONFIDENCE of their
fellOw.me and the respect Of all classes of
the community"
Nothing pleases us better than this
movement. 1t is a confession that the
efforts of the Temperance men have
had some effect upon the villainOus
traffic, and that the enemies of man.
kind are in doubt as to their future.
But the great good It will do will be to
arouse the real friends of law and
order, and force them into organiza-
| ton and direct, persistent work. There
is no question as to the ability Of the
liquor interest to organize and to raise
money easily. All the central body
has to do is to levy an assessment, and
it will be paid without question. The
liquor dealers can raise any amount OF
money, and with money they can pur.
chase votes. The interest is a tremen.
dous power. and it is well that 1t has
got into shape to show just how much
Of power it is. arattb
1t will fail, however, to perpetuate
itself. The people are stronger than
any one business. Those interested in
liquor can by use of money and poll.
teal manipulation control localities,
but there is not State in the Union
which can not be carried against it by
overwhelming majorities ~
! We most earnestly hope that the
:, Ohio branch of this Unholy Alliance
will be organized al Once.-Ioled'

WHAT he DRANK.



Honor and integrity are forgotten
when man acquires craving appetite
for alcoholic drink. and he will often
resort to any subterfuge to satisfy the
intense desire that overmasters him.
Here is an instance: A man with an
inordinate appetite for spirituous liquors
was at one time serving as common
sailor on steamship. He had been
mate once. but drunkenness had
caused him the loss of that position.
The rules were strict in regard to
drinking liquors on board ship, and
this mans craving went unsatished
most of the time. -t ne
One morning he CHANGED to pass the
purser's door. which stood ajar. Rest
ing on a shelf within the room, he saw
what he believed to be flask of whisky,
and he Immediately resolved to get
drink from it.
Several times during the afternoon
he found opportunity to be near the
door watching for chance to get
drink from the bottle, but the purser
was inside or the door was locked.
What do you want round hcrc9"
the purser once asked him, in no gen.
tie tone.
"Nothin'," answered the sailor,
"Well, then, be of. If l see you about
here again to-day, I'll report you to the
captain. T.. p.f.IH.I .efu
Despite this threat, he continued his
watch at intervals during the after
noon, but he was careful to keep out of
the purser's sight. AT last his oppOr-
tunity came. He saw the purser leave
his room with some papers in hand.
He shut the door but did not lock it..
The man at once darted from his posi-
ton, opened the door, entered the
room, seized, the coveted bottle and
putt to his lips. He drank two or
three deep swallows without stopping
to smell or taste of the contents of the
bottle, so eager was he for drink OF
his favorite liquid. But he suddenly
took the bottle from his mouth, smelled
of it, and then hurriedly put his hands
over his throat and stomach, with a
look of anguish on his face. &.
At that instant the purser entered.
what are you doing here, you scoun.
drel?" he demanded, sternly. -

or. ''Oh, my throat. T. -
"Why, man, interrupted the purser
"the stuff in the bottle Is carbolic acid

"Mercy save me, yes!'' said the man
? With great presence of mind, thu
purser sized pitcher Of warm water

Editor Monitor,-In your paper
last week Mr.. McGaffey makes some
false statements in regard to me,
which I in duty to myself and fellow
townsmen, should correct:
First, he says the primary cause,
the starting point of the opposition
to him, was from the agency in
Glover. Now the facts are, it had
nothing to do with it, for | knew
nothing of it, nor did I think there
would be an opposing candidate,
until after votes were printed for MI.
Dutton. So. you see am not entitled
to the honor he would confer on me
in that respect.
He also says, the agent buys all
the liquors and fixes the prices. l
have ordered liquors, but never with.
out the request of the selectmen, and
in the name of the town and never
fixed the price only in consultation,
and in connection with the selectmen,
and have always made my reports
quarterly to the commissioner, and
also to the selectmen; and at the
end of each year the selectmen have
81 ,:tl, IL
money has been paid into the town
treasury. AS to the quality of the
liquors kept, am willing to let the
patrons decide. I have heard but
very little complaint, and think the
common report Of the poor quality is
G. w. McGaffey.
1t is a little strange that the sever
al commissioners, and also the sew
eral different boards of selectmen,
under whom | have served for ten
years, should allow the agency to be
run in the lawless way Mr.. McGaffey
represents. | am aware that Mr..
McGaffey wanted the agency here
last year, land his defeat then and now
makes him feel like kicking, so 1 am
the victim. The primary cause of
the opposition was that the people
of Orleans County wanted an honest,
upright man to fill the position, which
believe we have in Mr.. Button.
