An Important Maine Principle.
TEMPERANCE WOMAN,

In an able article on the subject the Ellis
WORTH AMERICAN calls attention to the
importance of the resolution adopted at
the State republican convention favoring
"a policy, which, both by legislation and
administration. will develop the great nat
ural resources of the State, discourage en-
igration from it, attract desirable immigra-
ton to it, and keep home capital employed
in it."
In its brief but comprehensive statement,
the AMERICAN appeals to every citizen of
our State. Maine has every natural ad-
vantage for a wealthy and prosperous
State. Her founders and succeeding
statesmen, too, have laid broad and deep
the foundations for continued and increas-
ing prosperity, mental and moral as well as
material. Had it not been for the mistakes
of some of her people in listening to the
charmer who had land to sell in other
parts of the country, instead of using their
own eyes in looking at the advantages
nearer home this State would have had
to-day many more inhabitants and millions
more of wealth than now, but the rate in
which her wealth has increased in spite of
these draw backs, shows what she can do.
To encourage the dram-shop, as the demo-
Gratis would 10, however, would be one OF
the greatest blows that could be dealt to
the progress of our State.

FORT FAIRFIELD, Me, Aug %
To the Editors Of the Lewiston journal =
Under another maine the political cam
paign OF 1890, opened in Fort Fairfield on
Sunday evening. Aug. II. This temper
ance lecture" as it was advertised, was
given under the auspices of the Partisan
Woman's Christian Temperance Union Of
Fort Fairfield, presided over by white
ribbon" woman, member of that union,
the wife of the third party nominee for
Senator. The speaker, a minister of the
gospel, in his so called Temperance"
lecture. espoused the cause of the third
party and bitterly assaulted both the demo-
Gratis and republicans, especially the latter.
He paid glowing tribute to the partisan
w. c. +. L. but made an unjust. unchris-
tan attack upon the non partisan W. c. r.
L. In his remarks, this gentleman made
grave charges against the officers of the
non-partisan society which were wholly
without foundation and can be SO proved
III political stump speaking on the Lords
day is sanctioned by this great organize
ton. among whose many departments
of work" We find none of greater impor-
lance than that of Sabbath observance, :"
if assailing political parties, and berating
other organizations of Christian women
banded together for temperance work, are
the method adopted by the W. c. T. U.
for lessening the evils Of Sabbath desecra
ton and intemperance and for making the
world better, we fear it has made another
fearful mistake.
