Prohibition and Business.
Governor Burleigh at yassalboro.

luoNcrnoT burielgn AT NaSSalDOro-i
To my mind, of all the puerie attacks
upon our prohibitory laws that which as
serts that 1t Injuries the business prosperity
of the State is the most absurd. 1t will
be impossible to conceive of two things
more incompatible than business success
and intemperance. The people of Maine
are certainly excuSable when by any meth
od of reasoning known to sound logic or
good common sense they are unable to
conceive how the one can be in anyway de-
pendent upon the other. SObriety and in
dustry go hand in hand. Both are essen
tial to success. There is probably no one
in this audience who cannot recall, from
his own observation, number of promis-
ing business enterprises that We're wreck
ed upon the shoals of intemperance.
But, say the enemies of prohibition, the
future prosperity of Maine is largely de-
pendent upon its becoming the national
summer resort and If visitors cannot secure
the liquors they are accustomed TO use at
home they will go somewhere else. Now it
has been my good fortune to meet number
OF summer visitors to this state, and |
have never yet discovered one who came
to Maine in search of liquor. If that were
their quest they would have remained
many miles beyond cur borders No, my
nitcent beauties and drink in the health
giving breezes of our woodland hills, our
lakes, our rivers, and our stretch of ocean
frontage whose rugged beauties are uu-
surpassed upon this continent. They came
for rest and recreation, and their annually
increasing number is sufficient proof that
they are not disappointed iu securing both.
To-day one of the most celebrated of all
our splendid summer resorts is noted all
over this country for the pure spring wa
ter it supplies its guests. II mas never run
bar nor supplied liquors to its guests,
yet for some years past it has been crowd
ed during the season with distinguished
people from all over the country, aud so
great has been its popularity that hundreds
have annually been turned away for lack
of accommodations, and the pr9priptUrs,
who have already vAstly enlarged tAuir
house, contemplate the construction uf Il
still larger addition before the opening Of
another season, in order 70 keep pace with
the demands upon their hospitality. What
greater proof is necessary to- show that
the summer resort IN this State IS in no
way dependent Upon the liquor traffic:

to a shed full of four-foot wood, and a

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON ID. G., Oct. >, 1891.

WAsHINGToN, ID. G., Oct. ,, 1891.
The President does not have quite so
many callers, or rather, there are not so
many prominent men among his callers
since the announcement was sem.-otfici4ly
made that none of the important appoint
ments were likely to be made until after
the fall election Whatever the reason
for this decision it is universally con
sidered to be good politics on the part Of
the President, besides it gives him time to
look after some other important matters
that are pressing.
There is very marked difference in the
manner in which republicans and demo
Gratis here talk Of the outlook in New
York. The democrats invariably start off
with an ''if" which they admit to be neces-
sary to Flowers success On the con
trary the republicans grow more enthu-
, siaStic every day and will not admit that
there is even a possibility of defeat for
Fassett, and the reports from private
sources which reach here from New York
| are constantly adding to the republican
confidence.
The President has taken hand in the
| Chinese question and he has spoken with
the same earnestness which characterized
his instructions to Minister Egan last
week to demand satisfaction from the
Chilian junta for affronts offered him as the
official representative of the United States.
A Chlnaman who recently entered the
United States through Canada was ar
rested and ordered deported to China.
The British Minister, because the China
man claimed a residence in Canada, re-
| quested the President to pardon him and
allow him to return to Canada. To this
the President replied through the State
department '.that if this were a single
| case it would give this government great
| pleasure to show it's consideration by com
plying with the request, but there is in
volved in this case, in my opinion, the
whole question of the success and en-
| forcement of our exclusion acts. l have

The first payment on account Of the

Blaine will not be in Washington on the
date set for the conference between him
self and the President and the Canadian
Commissioners on the subject of reci-
procity-October l2-the British Minister
has been notified of the necessity for post
poning the conference. No new date has
been set for the conference, and there are
many people who doubt whether it will be
held until there shall be change of ad-
ministration in Canada.
Secretary Tracy is considering a report

tically amount to an entire reorganization

The Board of Lady Managers of the

Whether the Fair shall be closed on Sun
day is great question which will not be
decided for some time, but the Ladies'
Board has made record over which the
Christian world may well rejoice An i'm
mense petition in favor of Sunday closing
was presented from the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Frances
Willard speaking in its behalf As usual
she spoke as no other can, bringing tears
to the eyes, and conviction to the hearts
of many. Several ladies' took part in the
discussion (among them the writer) and
the vote when taken by yeas and nays and
declared, showed fifty-six in favor of Sun
day closing to thirty six against, and
TWENTY-FIVE absent or declining to vote.
At the close was heartily thanked by Col.
Elliot +. Shepard of New York, president
of the American Union Sabbath Associa-
ton "for the earnest words spoken for
Maine. the State wherein Is situated beau
tiful Bar Harbor." He also expressed
great gratitude to Miss Willard. told

"Count me In to that" and quickly passed
to me fifty dollar bill. 1t was pleas

thereby show that they too are grateful
