liquor.
Here is the evidence of an impartial OBJ
server. The editor of the Argus is not such.
His judgment is warped now, and has often
been warped before by his political feelings.
Besides he has gotlinto the habit of saying
this sort of thing about election time and
can'thelp it. Thus way back in 1856 this
same editor pictured this same Portland as
in a terrible state Of Generalization. We
find him on the 9th day of April of that year
appealing to Mayor elect Neal Dow through
the columns of his paper, the Eastern Argus,
ito look after those drunken friends of his,
1.-THE Mayor-elect'sl who broke various win
dows, threw missiles at the doors of peaceable
citizens, insulted quiet travellers, and general
ly made Tuesday night an occasion for sat
urnalia." Does he pretend that any SUCH
state Of things exists in the city today as he
describes in the above paragraph? Are
the doors of peaceable citizens stoned nova
days? Do we have any saturnalias? Or Is
he INDUCING in hyperbolesnow for political
effect Just as he probably was then? 1t was
on the 9th of July, 1856, that this same edi-
tor expressed the opinion that the court rec
ord Of the fourth of that month had mot
looked so bad before for 10 years" And
strange to say the gentleman who occupied
the Mayors chair on that fourth of July
was the Hon. Neal Dow, the very
man whom the editor is now recon-
mending to the citizens of Portland as
panacea for intemperance. The editors
memory as well as his judgment is bad.

Little Josef Hoffman,, the wonderful
pianist who has been delighting the audi
ences of Boston and New ork with his pro-
digious musical achievements. seems to have
become so good piece of property that he is
likely to get some rest while his parents and
manager are quarrelling. Mr.. Hoffman,
pere says that there have been fifty-two con-
certs each of which has netted not less than
three thousand dollars to Mr.. Abbey, the
manager. But the parent alleges that Of
this but fifteen thousand dellars have gone
TO the Holman family, who have during the
time been to an expense Of over six thous-
and dollars. Whether the father is startled
by the number of concerts at which the
youthful genius has been required to per-
form or by the great profits going into Man.
ager Abbey's pockets is question Of motive
which it may not be profitable to discuss
For one reason or the other Mr.. Hoffman, has
become very solicitous for the boys health (;
although few weeks ago, when Mayor
Hewitt interfered to prevent overworking
Josef, the father urgently protested that the
boy was equal to the strain. Mr.. Abbey of
course protests, and learned doctors are
called in. These do not wholly agree except
on the one point that the boy is suffering
from no organic disease. Some of the doc
tors think the boy had better go on and play.
They think week or ten days rest is all
that will be required, and that it will be
prejudice to the boy not to continue to APP
pear in public. They disagree as to the
number of performances week he should
be required to give in the future, and there
Is also some difference of opinion in regard
to how long period should intervene before
he resumes playing. The public anxiety
that so much genius should not be destroyed
by overwork is less open to suspicion Of I'M
worthy motives than the anxiety of the
father. In Springfield, Mass, where Josef
Was to appear Tuesday night the Children's
Aid Society through their attorney appealed
to the Mayor to refuse license for the per-
Torrance. The subsequent cancelling OF the
engagement, however, rendered interference
unnecessary.

The editor Of our est eemed morning con-
temporary bears personal testimony in the
columns of his paper to the alleged democrat
lied condition of Portland in these words:
We have been acquainted with Portland for
more than forty years, more than thirty years
editor OF the Argusl and we sorrow 70 say that
neqer before in our Judgment during this long pc
ried has there been so great degree Of demoral-
lZatlon in regard to drunkenness and drink as at
the present time 1t is sad and shameful.
Now we have to say that the judgment of
the author of the above paragraph is very
poor indeed There is no such demoralza-
tion existing here. 1t is the testimony of inn
partial observers who have visited many Of
the cities of the Union for the express pur-
pose Of comparisons that Portland is the
most quiet and orderly and the most free
from drunkenness Of them all. The Rev. A .
p. Foster, of Boston, recently visited Port
land for the express purpose ofiinyestigating
the tales of Generalization that have been
sown broadcast over the land in the interest
of free rum. He bears this testimony:
A recent three days visit in Portland forced up
ON INV attention the difference between that pro
bihifion citysand Boston, a city of licenses: The
COMPARISON was UNNECESSARILY In favor OF Fort
and That city is unquestionably freer from the
iquor curse than almost any otner CITY oi inc

By the action of the Republican party in
the Legislature of the State the people Of
New Jersey are assured of good, working
temperance law which will put any county
under prohibition when the majority of its
people so declare by their votes; and will
put every county where prohibition is not
enacted, under a high license law. On
Wednesday the popular branch Of the Legis-
lature passed the bill, thirty-two Republi-
cans and two Democrats supporting it, and
twenty-one Democrats and five Republicans
opposing. This vote assured the ultimate
enactment of the law by the Legislature, as
the Senate, where the Republicans also have
majority, favors it, The Republican ma
jority for the measure in the Senate is also
thought to be large enough to pass the bill
over veto, should Governor Green refuse
his assent.

The Argus reminds the PRESS that the
Scriptures have been revised since 1855.
But they had not been when we quoted from
them. The revision was issued yesterday
morning, and very remarkable revision it
is too. Some Of the more notable changes it
may be well to point out In the version OF
1856 it read thus:
That crazy.headed zealot of vigorous tongue.
For this has been substituted in the YER
sion of 1888:
The now venerable father of prohibition, Gen.
Neal Dow.
This change is certainly in the interest Of
both truth and decency.
In the old version it read thus:
Mr.. Neal Dow is once more in the field. Shall
he not once more, fellow citizens, have leave to
remain in the political retiracy for which he is so
well qualified? Has he improved within the past
few years? We see no evidence OF it. Neither
the passage OF time nor the opportunity for re-
Fiction, has succeeded in making him wiser
In the new version this paragraph is great
ly altered and is made to read thus:
So far as ourself is concerned we are free to say
that were we a voter in Portland Mr.. Dow, under
these circumstances, would receive our ballot,
and ii would be given cheerfully.
There is no doubt that the Scriptures have
been revised and it looks, too, as if the
editor of the Scriptures had been born
again.

The Belfast Age thinks that one breath Of
public disfavor would blow prohibition over.
The Age is in error. Prohibition can't be
killed by blowing. 1t needs votes. some
10000 of them. At last accounts the Belfast
Personal Liberty Club had secured about
300, leaving SO, 700 to be obtained.

THE STOCKING ON THE WRONG FOOT.

Chairman Mills of Texas did not make a
great bit il his advocacy of free trade at
Providence last Saturday As an Illustration
Of the benefits of free trade he spoke of seam
less stockings. 1t could do no harm, he said,
to import these because they are made by a
secret process and the foreigners will not al
low anyone to witness the manufacture. 10
this statement Lowell man replies that the
machines for knitting seamless goods are a
Lowell invention, and all such goods made
abroad are made on American machiQNs.
Moreover 80 per cent. of all the seamless
goods worn in this country are manufae-
tured here Mr.. Mills did not make much of
hit, but possibly he learned something.

The Democratic party Of Portland has lost
its rudder, and is drifting hopelessly. 1t has
nominated Neal Dow for Mayor, than which
a more ridiculous thing could not be imag-
ined. The result will doubtless be very
much the same, as when the Democrats of
the country nominated Horace Greeley for
President; complete Generalization of the
party there. According to accounts things
have been going from bad to worse in the
party there, ever since the advent of the
administration. Too big dose of civil SER
vice reform has been administered. The at

by Sitting candidates over and over to find
somebody that the partisans didn't want, has
