There was a large attendance of the friends

appeared on the platform. Miss Soule has
gained deserved reputation as teacher

well trained voices. 1t would be inyidi0us
to particularize when all appeared to such
advantage. A pleasant diversity was given
to the exercises of the evening by the tenor
songs of Mr.. w. p. Goss and the piano solos
of Miss Nellie Curtis.

The Press and the prohibitory Law

To the Editor of the Press:
In connection with your statement that,
while the Prohibitionists' complaint of offie-
ial neglect and political trading in the mat
ter of liquor selling is in part well founded,
''the real trouble is lax public sentiment
which winks at these things" will it be too
much to ask that you reprint the following
passage from your comments on the present
Mayors last inaugural address:
"He affirms that his treatment of the law has
been like his treatment of all other criminal law
an impartial enforcement to the best of his ability
and this he declrres will be his policy in the flu
ture. There can BE- no doubt that majority of our
citizens, witno ut regard to their opinions of its
wisdom, demand a thorough and impartial en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, and will hearth
ly sustain the Mayor in all proper efforts looking
to this emo"
Zone of the prominent members of the
Third Party sends the above with request
for its publication, under the impression that
the statements of the PRESS which he
has quoted are inconsistent. He apparently
thinks a majority of the people cannot de-
mand the enforcement of the prohibitory
law and at the same time lax public senti-
ment exist with regard to that law. Suppose
in community composed of one hundred
persons fifty-one should demand of the au-
thorities vigorous enforcement of the law
against stealing, while forty-nine were indif-
ferent or opposed. 1t seems to us that it
would be perfectly correct to say that there
was lax public sentiment in that commune
ty on the subject of stealing, notwithstand-
ing majority of the people demanded the
enforcement of the law against larceny.
Whenever considerable portion of the COM
munity openly condemn law, speak and
writes against and solicit Others to break it,
as is the case with the prohibitory law In
Portland and other cities of Maine. it can
fairly be said that lax public sentiment
prevails in regard to that law. no matter If
the majority do believe in it and want it en-
forced

Young Mems Liberal Association.

The report furnished by a correspondent
of the debate at the last meeting of this asso-
citation, appears to have been somewhat ov-
erdrawn. The attack ON DIR. Talmage, was
really an attack on recent sermon against
Spiritualism preached by him. That sermon
was unspairingly denounced. and in the
course of the dicussion something was said
perhaps which might be construed into
personal attack on the Doctor, though not
intended as such. The Association means to
confne itself to legitimate criticism, and for
most part doubtless does so.
