Not All Dead Yet.

1t is said that in several localities in this State
an effort is being made by certain persons claim
ing to belong to personal Liberty Leagues
to get signatures to political pledge in favor
of liquor license law. 1t is another evidence
that fools are not all dead yet. There is any
amount Of evidence, which all may understand,
that the people of Maine have no thought of
going backward. Prohibition is a part of the
constitution, and it cannot be gotten out by
rum suzzlers, nor by anything less than two
thirds vote of the sworn agents of the people.
Possibly the same influences which cause the
Democrats in Portland to vote for Neal Dow,
and to start Liberty League in Belfast, may
seek to humbug some Republicans by inducing
them to sign political license petitions. But
the device is altogether too cheap and too
much like the stale adv ertisement of Old Ja-
cob Townsend Sarsaparilla. Those Democratic
plOtters, who urge that everything is fair in
politics, will be able to find few Republican
gudgeons this year. Free rum and Free Trade
cannot make a combine which will prevent the
friends of temperance and Home Industry in
Maine from giving a rousing majority in Sep
TENDER and November. All Republicans will
shun Liberty and License Leagues as they
would the pitfalls of Democratic dep.avity.

Contrary to general belief. then, the
man of real force is never bully, is
never arbitrary or unjust. is never pas
sionate though he may be. anG generally
is, aggressive, and may, as occasion re-
quires, give exhibitions of temper that is,
nevertheless, kept in perfect control
Force of character brings with it self re-
lance and an imperturbable manner.
Just as the really courageous man re-
mains cool in the presence of danger the
self reliant man keeps his temper under
provocation because he feels confidence in
himself The coward grows excited and

The arbitrary man, accustomed to force
his views upon others, loses confidence in

The seaworthness of the monitors has
been thoroughly tested. The old Monad-
mock rounded Cape Horn in 1866 and be-
haved admirably in the long seas of the
Pacific ocean. Soon after the civil war
the old Miantonomoh made cruise to
Europe. encountering heavy weather.
The seas would come over bow and stern
four feet deep at times, but pass off
quickly without even preventing the use
of her guns. She rolled but degrees,
while the two ships accompanying her
rolled 20 to 30 degrees. In the report Of
this cruise by Assistant Secretary Fox we
find; "A vessel which attacks a monitor
in a seaway must approach very close to
have any chance of hitting such a low
hull; and even then the monitor is half
the time covered up with three or four
feet of water, protecting herself and dis
turbing her opponents fire. American
