Sidewalks and streets.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that our
City Council Will be aided by onr citi-
zens in every endeavor to improve our
streets. The sidewalk districts are as
good as could be planned but planning
is not enough. They must be built. A
sidewalk on Taylor st. is an important
necessity. Two churches and the public
school on that street with a rapidly
growing hotel building makes Taylor st.
very important. All the school children
from the lower town must reach the
school by that street aud no other i'm
provementiD the town could be OF so much
benefit as walk on Taylor st. With
the walk on Lawrence st. which has been
ordered any and every part of the town
could then be conveniently reached.

of tbem was believer in the prohibitory
law. and very few of them cared straw
whether it was enforced or not. But they
thought they saw chance to put the tenn
perance men of Portland, the most of when
they knew to be Republicans, sin hole"
That idea was their inspiration. By
Misrepresentation they trusted that they
could make it appear that the municipal con-
test was between the enforcement and nom
enforcement of the prohibitory law, and
thereby either convict protesting temperance
men of hypocrisy or compel them to vote
for Gen. Neal Dow. Now this is the task
the Democrats have set themselves about,
and this is their purpose, and all this SWIVEL
ling about how sad and sorrowful they feel
because liquor Is still to be had in Portland
and men still get intoxicated is the basest
sort Of hypocrisy. Instead of being sad
when they hear of rumshops or see drunken
man they are filed with glee. and tale that
reflects upon the fair fame of their city they
roll as a sweet m0rsel under their tongues
because it helps them to raise false ISSUE
Did they cOnline themselves to stating the
facts they would fail of their purpose: so
they set to work deliberately to falsify, and
the great majority of the stories they set
afoat are fabrications. Were they animated
by the sincere purpose of promoting the
cause of temperance their performances
would admit of some extenuation. But their
real motive is quite the reverse. They are
simply trying to delude the sincere tenn
perance men. We do not mean to implicate
all the Democrats of Portland in this trick
cry. good many of them have no fellow
ship with it and unsparingly denounce it
It's instigators are a lot of small beer politi-
clans, who pride themselves on certain low
kind of cunning which is their principal
stock in trade.
As matter of fact no such issue as it is
sought to raise exists. Mayor Chapman is
quite as consistent temperance man as
Gen. Dow He has not entirely suppressed
the dram shops, but neither did Mayor Dow
The tales Of drunkenness and disorder told
by the Argus during Nh. BOWS administra-

A False CIV.

Perhaps the most insincere, Of many insin-
cere performances, on the part Of the Demo-
cratic party of Portland, or more properly of
its managers, is the effort being made at this
time to make it appear that the present mu-
nicipal contest turns OF the question of the
enforcement or non-enforeement Of the pro-
hibitory law. The gentleman who rose in
the opera 6ogfe convention Of Monday night
and offered series ofresolutions setting forth
q number of whereases and recommending
that the Democratic party subordinate It's
political interests to the moral welfare of the
people of Portland, gave the cue which
marked the beginning of this effort. In re-
spouse to his signal there was great upris-
ingOf Democratic delegates inside the hall
and throng of men, the most Of whom had
probably not spoken Neal BOWS name for
wears but to execrate it, began to shout lusti-
" for the "father of prohibition" Not one

The ratification of the fisheries treaty by
the Dominion Parliament is expected. The
Liberal party, or the Opposition, as it is now,
will oppose it, but they cannot cope with Sir
John Macdonald's working majority. The
opposition urge some interesting reasons
why the treaty should not be ratified. The
Toronto Globe begins long assault on the
treaty with unqualified condemnation of ar
ticle 15-the article which provides for free
importation of Canadian fish in return for
commercial privileges for our fishermen in
Canadian ports This article which is much
dsliked by American fshe men, is also,
strange to say, the one against which the
Canadian Opposition directs its hottest fire.
"rhus the Americans" declares the Globe,
the great Opposition organ. "by coneeding
no more than free entry for fish and oil. can
acquire, by treaty right, all thu the Wash
ington treaty gave them. But they paid $780,
600 a year, according to the Halifax arbitra.
tion, for what they can legally have for moth
ing by the new treaty. 1t therefore distinctly
fayors the United States to the extent of
half million year, il the outcome be the
best possible for Canada" OF all the arti-
Giles previous to article 10 the Canadian OPP
position also take a very dismal view. The
Globe declares that the Americans,
by their privileges, under the
previous articles. will be enabled ito
ship crews and to buy bait, ice, seines, lines
and other supplies and outfits illegally, but
at pleasure and with impunity," and that,
'being chartered to touch and trade to
hover in Canadian waters, to fish in interior
bays to come and go withoutle or hindrance
on the stress of weather plea, and to buy
supplies for any trip they may describe as
'homeward voyage they cannot be restrain
ed from buying and fishing at will" Ameri-
cans who bear in mind how little Canada has
surrendered of what she wanted to retain,
and how little we have got of what we want
ed to obtain, will naturally wonder what
sort of treaty the Canadian Opposition ex-
pected. What they really expected it is inn
possible to say. Very likely they do not
know themselves. But they have pretended
to expect from the Commissioners a general
reciprocity treaty, by which not only fish but
all other Canadian products would be adj
mitted to the limited States free of duty.

The Argus alleges hat liquor selling is as
openly carried on in Portland as in any Ii
cense city in the country. This is false.
Liquor selling is carried on here to Lin tied
extent, but secretly aud in defiance of law.
1t always has been carried on here in this
way. 1t was carried ON here, according to
the Argus, when Neal Dow was Mayor, and
if that sheet is to be believed it was rather
worse then than it has ever been since,
The Argus alleges that our school houses
are enyironed by liquor shops. This is I'M
true.

and children too There has been but
one child shut up in the police station for
drunkenness for year, and the number of
drunken men and women has been no larger
than for years past, when the Argus did not
see any occasion for comment.
The Argus charges that bribery, political
and monetary wraps our public servants in
its silken folds. Let the Argus name the
man that has been bribed, or confess that
il is guilty of the same kind of a trick that
it charged few days ago upon its candidate,
namely, making charges which it cannot sub
