The large size Of the families of the Cana

the parish priest at Waterville, has already
been noticed, and compared with the much
smaller size of the average native Yankee
family. Another very interesting COMPARE
son may be made of the longevity of the
three races, the native Americans, the Irish
and the Canadian French. From the rec
ords of the city of Lewiston, where the three
races are well represented, quite full mortu-
airy statistics are published. The population
of Lewiston is not far from twenty-four

The Third Party Prohibitionists of the
third and fourth districts have just held a

to the National Prohibition convention.

latter that if they would help the Prohibi-

in their contest with capital, but the resolu-
ution failed of passage.

The Democrats have got over their pre-
tended anxiety to discuss the fisheries trea-
ty, and now are working to bring about a
compromise that shall postpone its consider
alton until next November. Let the fisher
men try the modus Uicendi" they say, be-
fore the treaty is disposed of. The fisher
men have, however, no disposition to try the
modas pirend. They are so well satisfied
that this mode of living is in reality mode
of dying, and that speedily, that the expert
ment has no attractions for them. The
Democrats are not to be blamed, however,
for wanting to postpone the treaty, especially
those of them who, like Senator Morgan, de-
nounced the proposition to negotiate and
declared that to treat for commercial priv
ileges which belonged to us by right was
pusillanimous surrender; but who now feel
compelled to vote for this treaty ON political
grounds, though to do so is to do violence to
their convictions.

1t will be observed that the death rate
among the Irish youth is somewhat larger
than among theAmericans; but it is very
small compared with that among the French
Canadians. The. mortality among the
French Canadian children is appalling.
More than half the infants do not live to be
year old only few more than quarter of
them live to be ten years old; and the Lew
iston Frenehman's chance of living to be six
ty years old is only one out of twenty. What
is the occasion of this great mortality. Is it
the labor, the mode of life, or crowded and
unhealthy homes?

The Bangor Wing declares that the Hon.
Z. c. Burleigh is not sectional candidate.
Heaven forbid that anybody should intimate
such thing. A gentleman whose friends
claim for him the support of Kennebec be-
cause he lives in Augusta, of Penobscot be-
cause he owns house in Bangor, and OF
Aroostook because there was the dwelling
place of his ancestors, cannot be regarded as
a sectional candidate. Rather is he candi-
date in sections.

The result of seven elections that occurred
in the Province Of Ontario in Canada, last
week, merits more than passing notice be-
cause it involves a question in which the
people of Maine are greatly interested The
Dominion OF Canada, few years ago, put on
its statute books prohibitory law known as
the Scott Act. 1t is law that operates
equally in all parts of the Dominion from
Nova Scotia to British Columbia, whenever
the people of a county may wish to avail
themselves Of its provisions. 1t is like the
local option laws of States like Georgia or
Michigan in the sense that the counties may
decide by ballot whether they will avail
themselves of its provisions; but it has this
novel feature that it is a general measure
coming from the supreme central legislature
of the Dominion instead of from the local
provincial parliaments. In this respect it
may be compared to United States law as
contrasted with State law. The workings
Of the Scott Act have been provocative of
much agitation in Canada, The trials of
some of those instrumental ia enforcing it
have been made public from time to time,
when their residences have been blown up
with.dynamite or gun-powder. Not only have
the enemies of the act been very aggressive,
but it is of itself so defective, either in its
general plan or in its details, that its opera
ton has not been wholly satisfactory. New
ertheless it has been adopted in la rye num-
Der Of counties, many in Ontario, and some
In New Brunswick and other Provinces.
And where once accepted, it has until re-
Gently been generally retained, in spite of
the privilege allowed of frequent elections
for repeating or confirming it. A notable ex-
ception was Halton, in Ontario. which very
Unexpectedly few months ago rejected the
act after seemingly successful trial. This
was followed last week by Waterloo for
the Prohibitionists, in which seven Ontario
counties rejected the Act. The result seems
to have been surprising, somewhat astound-
ing in fact, to the temperance people of On
tario. The Toronto Globe, which is friendly
to the act, gives reason for the oyerturn
which is undoubtedly the true and only one /:
The law, it was thought, would be self acting
and would enforce ITSELF Now 1t is quite true
that every legal enactment is to be carried out by
the proper authorities But 1t Is equally true that
in such a. case as the Scott Act, where public
opinion is greatly divided, the authorities need
not only to be kept up to their duty, but TO re-
ceiye more than usual amount OF public sympa-
thy and assistance. This, it is TO be feared, they
have in many cases not received. and as the re-
suit, the Scott Act has not been so rigidly en-
forced as could have been desired. II has TO be
acknowledged that this was more or less the case
in all the counties in which the vote was taken on
Thursday.
With the best prohi5itory law public sent
iment must after all be the main support
with defective law like the Scott Act there
is all the more need for ready and constant
public sentiment back Of it.

The President, it is said, has written a let
ter to the United States Marshal of Massa
chusetts instructing him to prosecute all
Gloucester vessel owners who have been i'm
porting Nova Scotians to man their fishing
vessels This is significant as showing how
much more deeply the President is interest
ed in the enforcement of some laws than
others. The chairman of the Democratic
congressional committee is sending circulars
to Virginia postmasters requesting them to
act as canvassers for the Democratic party
a clear violation of the spirit of the civil SER
vice law, but the President has addressed no
letter Of warning either to the chairman OF
the committee or to the Virginia postmast-
ers. Neither has the postmaster general.
But the prosecution of the Gloucester vessel
owners is very promptly ordered. The lat
ter have committed the objectionable Of
Tense of opposing the ratification of treaty
negotiated by Mr.. Cleyeland's administra-
ton, while the chairman of the Democratic
congressional committee and the Virginia
postmasters are only guilty of the venial Of
fence of using the Offices to perpetuate Mr..
Cleveland's greatness.

A Serious Accident.

Quite a sensation was created in our
usually quiet village Saturday last by
the report that man had been robbed
OH the road between Jason Clark's and
the Cooper place south of here about
10 o'clock a. m. Upon inquiry we
learned the mans name was Geo.
Smith, of Bervllle, who had been up
north buying farm land, that he had
two pocketbooks on his person one
containing $500 the other Sl1, had been
drinking, started for home that morn
ing and was found by Geo. Muir about
10 o'clock, i'll company with Thos.
Lynch, of Sanilac county, lying by the
roadside with two gashes in his head
and taken to Jason Clark's for treat
ment. 1t is believed that the injured
man is the victim of foul play but the
perpetrator of the act is unknown. a
stone covered with blood was picked
up by the roadside about 40 rods back
from where he was found The pocket
book containing the S11 is missing, his
coat is torn in threads and when found
he was unconscious. AS yet he does
not know how he became injured. A
number of stitches were taken in the
wounds on his head and the doctor
says he is doing as well as could be ex-
pected 1t is hoped that he will be so
much improved soon as to be able to
throw some light on the case.
