A Fortunate Greennorn.

"When | came to this country" said a
merchant recently, Il was a lad fresh
from old Ireland. My first home was
with friends in Cambridge. In one of
my walks, before | had been here a
week, came across a queer, old fash
joined house that interested me immense
ly. / described it to my friends, and
learned that it was the home of the poet
Longfellow. That increased my inter
est.
"The next day | went again to the
queer house and stood gawkily looking
at it and at an old gentleman sitting in
the yard. | stared SO long that the old
gentleman noticed it, and coming to the
fence asked me what | was looking at
told him that wanted to see the man
who lived there. because had read his
works in the schools of Ireland.
"The old gentleman asked me what l
knew about Longfellow's writings, and
| told him | knew enough about one
poem to repeat every word of it.
"When he heard that he asked me to
come into the house and recite the poem

lage Blacksmith without making mis-
take. That pleased my listener, and put
ting on his hat he asked me to walk with
him. He said that | should have some
thing that many people had asked for
and tried in vain to get.
"He stopped under a big tree and said:
This is the tree under which that poem
you recited was written. The village
smithy was under this tree
'Then the aged poet marched up and
with his own hand broke off branch of
that famous tree and gave it to me" y

The People Want Blaine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May q.
Especial. This has been a very
large sized Blaine day at the national
capital. At the dinner given last
night by Senator Allison, which was
attended by Vice President Morton,
Senators Hale McMillID, Davis, Haw-
ley, Aldrich, Jones of Nevada, and
Representatives Henderson and
Dolliver of Iowa, Bellows of Michigan
and General Clarkson, the only SUBJ
ject discussed was whether popular
sentiment would permit the politi-
claus to nominate any other than
Blame. 1t was the unanimous con-
clusion that If Blaine remained silent
until the convention is organized, he
will certainly be the nominee.
One of the strongest of the political
leaders present, who ordinarily con-
trolls his state with wonderful success,
admitted that he dared not openly
advocate the claims ofany other per
son than Blaine; If he did he would
simply be crushed by the people who
as rule, are content to follow his
lead.
Mr.. Blaine's health was discussed

ticket. The weight of opinion was
somewhat in favor of General Alger.
but there was strong sentiment in
behalfof Rusk. Both men were sol.
diers and both have good records; but
it was thought that Alger mignr
make the best candidate because he
could put more wealth into the cam
paign. Against this it was urged
that General Rusk's nomination for
the vice presidency if it were under

of war in the new administration.

Senator Power of Montana this after.

ANYTHING FOR VOTES.

The Democratic party has over and
over again declared that it was opposed
to all sumptuary laws. That has become
one of it cardinal principles. The OBJ
lection it has raised to these laws is that
they unwarrantably interfere with pri-
vate rights. But here is the Democratic
party in Maine getting into line for
campaign for high license with local op-
ton. Now high license with local op-
ton means that the majority of the vot-
ers in any town or city may if they see
fit, prohibit the sale of liquors in that
town or city and thus interfere (unwar-
rantably if the resolutions of the Demo-
cratic national convention are sound)
with the rights of the minority.
What difference is there in principle
between this kind of prohibition and the
prohibition that already exists in
this state? Under the present law
the majority of the people of the
State-unwarrantably let us assume for
the sake of the argument-deprive the
minority of portion of their private
rights. Under the law which the De-
mocracy are advocating the majority of
the people of town or city deprive the
minority of portion of their private
rights. The principles of the two laws
are identical, and if it is wrong in one
case, as Democratic national conventions
have over and over again declared, it is
wrong in the other. How then can
the Democratic party of Maine
preserve it's consistency, while opposing
State prohibition and at the same
time endorsing town prohibition? The
answer obviously is that it cannot.
Hence it follows that the endorsement Of
of local option by the Maine Democracy
is an utter abandonment of principle in
behalf of device concocted with the
sole view of catching votes. Its advo-
cacy of high license with local option
simply means that the Democratic party
is trying to catch the votes of the city
liquor sellers and their adherents with
out driving off the Democratic prohibi-
tionists of the country. 1t assumes that
in the city majority of the people will
vote against prohibition and thus the
rumseller will get all the latitude he
wants. 1t assumes also that the towns
will vote against license and thus the
Democratic prohibitionists will be pla-
Gated, and prevented from kicking. The
policy is similar to the one the party has
adopted in regard to the tariff-shout-
ing free trade in districts where free
traders are abundant and protection
where protectionists were supposed to
be in the majority. The party
thus practically confesses that it
has no views with regard to the
liquor traffic which it is not ready
to abandon to catch votes. 1t practically
proclaims that it is for free rum in the
cities because it believes there are votes
in that, and for prohibition in the towns
because it thinks there are votes in that.
The Portland daily press., 1892-03-18

A few years ago when the Hon. John
w. Deering was Mayor of Portland the
Eastern Argus was protesting to be in
favor of vigorous enforcement of the
prohibitory law. It then declared that
while it did not believe in the wisdom of
the law it thought it ''should be en-
forced like all other laws the people
have made'' and it was very profuse in
the compliments which it showered upon
Mr.. Deering for his vigorous efforts
to that end. 1t even went SO far as to
commend Mr.. Deering as suitable man
for Democratic candidate for Governor
principally for the courage which he had
he had manifested in enforcing the pro-
hibitory law. OF late there have been
signs that the Argus has changed its
position--that it is now not only opposed
to the prohibitory law, but also opposed
to its vigorous enforcement Its contin-
ual criticism of Sheriff Cram during the
recent campaign, and it's efforts to dis
credit the results of an enforcement,
which it confessed had been vigorous,
pointed in that direction. Another indi-
cation in the same line is its neglect so
far to urge upon the new marshal a Wig
orous enforcement of the law, something
which it was always prompt to do when
