The Aroostook Republican brings out a
new candidate for collector Of the port of
Portland-the "Hon. Il. N. Drew" We
have not the pleasure of Mr. Drew's ac-
quaintance, but the Republican speaks of
him in the highest terms. 1t believes that If
the matter were left to the Republicans of
the State "Col. Drew would be overwhelm-
ingly designated as the peoples choice" 1t
further says that "Col. Drew has filled many
prominent positions with great honor to
himself and credit to his party" Further
on 1t declares that "as speaker Of the last
House Col. Drew acquitted himself with
marked ability and fairness" and still fur

A despatch from Victoria, d. c., to the

on the despatch characterizes our claim in
the sea as an Outrageous pretension,' and
thinks the Canadians in resisting seizure will
be acting entirely within their rights. Never.

BILE for the Canadian sealers to take their de.

of collision between the sealers and the
American cutters might be to set the United

government should order a man. of-war to
protect Canadians in Behring sea, or should

Sixty-elght clergymen of Massachusetts,
have issued protest against the proposed
prohibition amendment. Among them are
such well known names as Francis G. Pea
body, of Cambridge, o. b. rockingham, III.
Bernard Carpenter, Philip S. Moxom and
g. K. Ellis. Besides these some eleven clergy
men have publicly expressed opposition to
the amendment. though they do not sign this
protest Among them are DIR. Phillips
Brooks, DR.. q. A. BartoI, Rev. Brooke Here
ford, Rev. Henry M. Dexter and Rev. Ed
ward Abbott The clergymen who sign the
protest do SO on the ground that, in their
opinion, the proposed amendment would not
accomplish the purpose intended. 'Prohibi-
tion." they say, lis effective only where the
local sentiment will enforce it; and where
local sentiment enforces 1t, 1t exists under
our present law. To exchange the present
right of each city and town to vote mo
license and where the vote Is for license to
regulate the license under the restrictive acts
OF the Legislature for the chance Of enforc-
ing absolute prohibition everywhere In the
commonwealth irrespective of the local SEN
timent, is, in our opinion. more likely to re-
suit In greater freedom than in greater re-
striction in the sale and use of intoxicating
liquor" There is good deal of truth
in the declaration that prohibition is
likely to be effective only where local
sentiment supports 1t. That has been
pretty effectually demonstrated in this
State. On the other hand, local option, as
1t usually works, accomplishes very little in
the way Of suppressing intemperance, though
1t may serve to shut up the rum shops In
towns where the vote is against license.
But 1t does not amount to much in the way
of suppressing intemperance to shut up rum
shops in one town and leave them open in
the adjoining town. A general prohibition
law applying to the whole State of Massa-
chusetts would probably work as well as
the present local option law. There would
be many towns in which 1t would be en-
forced, and II there were a good many In
which 1t was not well enforced the situation
would not be practically different from what
