CDR. JekYII and Mr.. Hyde. ;,

In an interview recently published In the
Boston Globe, the authenticity of which is
not questioned, Neal Dow says:
Our quarrel with the Republican party does
not at all grow out Of what 1t has done or is
supposed to have done for prohibition in the
past, but II originates entirely in what 1t does
aud refuses to do now. For The last Twenty-Five
gears no progress cldtcrCr has been made in the
eStinguishing of the liquor traffic in Maine.
The volume of 1t now in the state is as large as
It was then. This arises partly from the fact
that the Republican party officials ignore the
law, and more from the fact that the law In
some respects is defective, so that without sub
stantlal amendments to 1t the entire suppress.
sion of the traffic is impossible. Republican
officials continue nOiU as they hare done IN he
past, to ignore he tdIc, and the Republican legls.
latures have uniformly persisted in refusing
any effective legislation to accomplish the work
which II Is the sole purpose of the law to do;
that Is, 10 suppress the liquor traffic,
We have here Mr. Dow's positive asser-
tion that there has been no progress what
ever in the work Of eXtinguishing the
liquor traffic in Maine for a quarter OF a
century, and Republican officials continue,
'as they have done in the past,n to ignore
the law. Now, let us see what Mr.. Dow
said on this subject ten months ago, to wit,
on the 9th Of November, 1885. Here 1t is.
The Maine law is as rel executed as dRy Other
otOT statutes, aud Hs effect for gOOd UpOn our
moral aud mGtcfd' Interests Is so great that can
not be measured by any m1dc Of computation nor
kpOun to as.
II Mr.. Dow spoke the truth ten months
ago he is not doing so now, and vice versa,
for thestwo statements are most emphati,
callY contradictory. But this is not all The
testimony that has been introduced in the
case Of Dow against Dow. No longer ago
than the month OF June last Mr.. Dow
wrote to the English Temperance Alliance
The Maine law, administered by he Repubi
can party, has driven every distIllery and
brewery from the state, has stopped nineteen.
| twentleths of the liquor traffic, and has added
| 100000 annually to the wealth Of the state
Which OF these Dows shall one believe
the Republican Dow of ten months ago ana
three months ago, or the deputy Demo
cratic Dow Of this date The reader pays
his money and may take his choice.

MANY bitter things are said against the
chances OF ciyllizIng the Indians. But news
Just received shows that the red man Is
capable Of touching civilization at its high
est points. Marshall Kid-Lo-Sie, is a Miami
Indian, living near La Fontaine, Ind.
The said Kid is more than mere Indian.
He is the defendant in suit for breach Of
promise, TO be tried in the Wabash circuit
court. The plaintiff, Nora Engart, is
prepossessIng white girl Of eighteen years.
She loved the featherheaded brave, but
Kid, after long and arduous courtship,
just went off and acted like an ordinary
Christian and married another woman. It
is not known yet whether the other woman
had larger fortune than Nora, though we
think It probable, as It would but IN accord
with civilized practice II KID should marry
her having less. Nora kept the love letters,
and is suing for 5000, an amounO that
represents mere fraction Of Mr. Kids real

THE critic is In error in stating that the
Vice President "has right to appoint
keeper for the Senate restaurant, which is
something, at least" Such was the case in
''the earlier and better days OF the repub-
llc,n and until very recent date. In those
days, too, the Vice President appointed
Senate pie-woman. But in an evil hour
those precious plums of patronage passed
into the hands Of the committee on rules,
denuding the Vice Presidential Office of
all control oyer appointments, but leaving
it still most aflluently lowered with dignity.
