WEST PARIS Marc

10 Ue EQat0f or the Press:
WEST PARIS, March, II. 1890.
L wish to correct a statement made in your
paper OF last week in regard to Mr.. Merrill's
attempted suicide being attributed to relige-
GUS excitement His attending physician
denies making such statement, and men,
bers of the family have expressed their
opinion to the effect the meetings had
nothing to do with causing his insanity.
He had been insane at times for several
years and had made suicidal attempts before
he came to West Paris. He had attended
only four meetings and in the meetings there
has been no excitement at all, as candid per-
sons who have attended them will affirm.
Inc statement in regard to the man who
burned his tobacco is equally false. He had
he had not as was stated become excited al
the meetings. but for long time he had
felt 1t was wrong to sell that which he
thought was not right to use.
And preferring a clear conscience tC
$50 or $40, worth of tobacco, he carried ii
out and set it on fire, but did not stand with
clasped hands and take the position as if in
prayer and seem te enjoy his loss while II
was burning as stated in the article referred
to. The writer OF this article has his infor-
nation from one who was present while 1t
was being burned.
Finally. we believe the whole article was
written by some unreliable, unprincipled
person, with no other object but to lujure
the church and the cause of Christ in this
place and elswhere.
THE despatch referred to was a regular
Geographic despatch from West Paris sent

time to come from trustworthy sourcel

What is precedent, that the New York
World should so inveigh against Speaker
Reed for overturning it? 1t is the collective
result of generations and perhaps centuries
OF legislative practises. 1t embodies glarine
faults as well as great conveniences and well
may be more wrong than right. An intelli.
gent person, knowing the speed at which
Americans live and the makeshifts they en-
ploy to gain little time would be astonished
at the conservatism displayed by the opposi-
ton in the national house and out of it, were
the motive not so apparent. The yoxing TO-
gether in this case, of justice and precedent
would be funny if it were not so obviously
unnatural

The truth is that at the pres
ent time, though there is general
feeling that the saloon should be re-

unanimity of opinion as to the degree of
That restriction or the manner Of enforcing
it necessary to place behind any law directed
against the saloon that strength of public
sentiment which is needed to secure its con-
slant and vigorous enforcement. But in
the State of Maine-with the possible ex-
ception of few places-there is stronger
sentiment behind prohibitory law than
there would be behind license law. This
being the case, and prohibition being in
its theory a much more effective repressive
measure that license law, it is difficult to
see what would be gained by exchanging the
/ former for the latter

Our esteemed contemporary. the Argus, is
informed that Judge Webb did not decide
that the Biddeford municipal court was no
court having common law jurisdiction.
That is exactly the opposite to what he de-
clded 1t was because the court had no
clerk separate from the Judge that Judge
Webb held that it was incompetent to nat.
uraiize. The Argus seems to be very slow
in getting this case through its head.

1t is gratifying to see that the governor of
Louisiana had backbone enough to refuse
the bride rendered his State, by the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company, in the shape of a
contribution of 100000 to repair the Mis-
sissippi levees. The governor promptly re-
turned the gift without thanks, saying that
in view of fact that the question of renew
ing the company's charter was to come be-
fore the next legislature it would be highly
improper for him to receive the money.
Mayor Shakespeare of New Orleans, however,
had no such conjunction, and when the
company rendered him $4,000 for levees he
very promptly took it. The fact that the
company was able to make such big contri-
buttons shows how immensely profitable the
lottery business has become.

The disagreement between Bismarck and
the Emperor Of Germany which has finally
lead to the resignation of the former, has
been brewing for some time. Its precise
nature is not known, but the headstrong and
cratic course of the Emperor is doubtless
largely responsible for it. 1t is not strange
that there should be great excitement in
Berlin over the Chancellor's retirement.
For twenty years, to very large extent, Bis
marck has directed the affairs of the state
and outlined its policy. The Reichstag has
done little more than give effect to his will in
Is legislation. The sudden withdrawal of
TINS tremendous personality may wen MI the
German people with feelings akin to dismay.
A suitable successor will be hard to find, for
German parliamentary government has been
of such character as to give little opportu-

repressed lest they might become
