PORTLAND PROHIRUTUON.

An interesting and instructive controversy
is going on in Maine, where prohibition is
supposed to flourish as well as anywhere.
The dispute is over the question which is
"the drunkenest city on the continent" The
Portland Advertiser applied the title to Ban
gor the other day. And the Bangor Com
mercial rises to remark that Portland is too
modest and should not attempt to bestow
upon Bangor distinction which rightfully
belongs to itself. In support of this the
Commercial quotes from the Advertiser the
following, which appeared on the day afte,
the fourth of July two years ago: There waf
more drunkenness in Portland yesterday thar
on any holiday for years. Notwithstanding
the fact that the sheriffs and police made
large seizures on Saturday night and Sunday
enough liquor was on sale yesterday to make
several hundred men drunk. In some parts
of the city the scenes were disgraceful
Drunken men were laid up on the sidewalkt
and doorsteps in all directions In Deering'f
Oaks many of the benches were occupied by
sleeping sots. Around the custom house it il
estimated that fifty men were seen drunk dur
ing the night and day. It was even worse
about Gorham's corner and the adjacent
parts of the city. The police made arrests
until the station was full and could accom-
modate no more. Forty drunkards were
locked up at one time. This morning forty
one cases were before the court and many
were discharged without being brought up
Portland seems to have the worst of it sc
far, but perhaps it may be discovered thai
the Commercial has made similar remarks
about its city. Anyway, the efficacy of pro
hibition shines out in the controversy like
gas lamp in London fog.

telligence to understand it, they are being
forced to buy their freedom over and over
in taxes for pensions. The southern States
are paying out every year for pensions more
than $27, 900, 900, which stands for interest at
per cent. on q fund of over 5000, 900, ,O0O.''
"This," says Mr.. johnson, "is the indemni ty
for the civil war actually levied on the
southern States"
The Congo railroad will soon be built, and
the toot of the locomotives whistle will soon
startle the natives of Africa. Every dollar
of the money needed to build and equip the
railroad has been subscribed. The amount
raised is $5,000,000. The subscribers include
some of the leading banking houses and cap
italists in Belgium, France, Germany, Eng
land and the United States. The surveys,
estimates and technical studies of the Congo
Commercial and Industrial company, which
set the project in motion, were submitted in
a summary report to these institutions and
fnanciers. Figures were given to show that
the railroad was from the first assured of
business that would yield not less than $780,
600 per annum, which sum is now actually
expended each year for freightage by means
Of carriers around the cataracts. It was also
shown that the gross expenses for running
two trains each day per week and of main-
tanning the plant and supporting four main
and twenty subsidiary stations would not ex
ceed $4,000 year, leaving fair interest
on the investment.

A sIGNIFIOANT MovEM RNT.

"A SlGNHFxCANT MOVEM ENT.
A very significant movement is that which
has been unearthed in New Mexico. A con-
vention to form constitution is to be held
September 3, and the Roman Catholics of the
State are asked to to take action against the
public school system. They are told in &C.
cret circular: The plan is to provide in that
constitution that you may be compelled to
pay taxes for the support of public schools,
notwithstanding that you cannot from con.
scientious scruples permit your children to
be educated in such places. No faithful son
of the church and no man of the Mexican
people, who is in accord with what is due to
himself and the traditions of his fathers, will
submit to this. The contest in the last leg
islature proves how great the danger is that
this execrable and wicked education should
be forced upon us. The escape, then, was
only narrow escape. We now have it in
our power to avoid this calamity by taking
hold of the business in good time, and by
working well and hard for what is right.
1t will be interesting to see the outcome of
this movement. If 1t can be fixed so that
New Mexico starts as State with direct
recognition of the superior right of the Ro.
man Catholic church, very great gain for
that church will be secured. It is a good
thing that the movement has been exposed
| and 1t is to be hoped that it will be very
thoroughly defeated

An invention has been made which promi-

The new crop of wheat is beginning to fine
its way into the market, the receipts at some
of the primary receiving points in the Wes

The average estimates place the crop of thi
year in the neighborhood Of 50O,000,00'
bushels, or about rs, ,0OO, 900 in excess of tina
of last year. 1t is certain that the crop viii
be much larger than that of 1885, Weather
conditions have been on the whole unusually
favorable, and an early marketing OF the crol
is anticipated. Such circumstances are hav
ing their natural effects on values, the price
of wheat in the past week having declined il

Will be Held Now--Only $500
Needed For 1t.
A well attended meeting of the
ockhoIders of the International Fair
association was held, subject to call
of the chairman, in the association
rooms this morning. On polling the
meeting it was learned that 226 1-2
shares were represented, and the
meeting then adjourned to the city
council room, where it was organ
lied.
President Lott, of the Arkansas Pass
railway, holding so shares of stock,
made very business like speech, In
which he stated the railway would
build the temporary railway and ope-
rate same for the association, but
would assume no liabilities of dam
age suits, etc. 1t would require $l5.-
600 to start the fair, $4,000 for the
railway and $1,000 for immediate ex-
penses. He felt sure this would be
subscribed. Nearly $4,000 were al
ready subscribed.
The meeting was given assurance
from the council committee present
that franchise for the temporary
railway would be granted and no OBJ
stacle thrown in the way of the fair
being held.
Mr.. Lott subscribed $1,000 additional
to the roll, and others added to their
subscriptions until $500 more was
subscribed, making 1920 already
secured.
The meeting then adjourned.
