Enforcement of the Liquor Law in Waldo
County.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
There is weeping and wailing and
crashing of teeth" if not demonstrations
of a more forcible and profane character
on the part of the liquor selling frater-
nifty and their friends in Waldo county.
all on account of the labors of State
Liquor Constable G. Files during the
past six months, which have resulted in
the grand jury finding $50 indictments
against the rum-selling fraternity last
week, and the convictions thereon now
taking place before the Supreme Judicial
Court in session in Belfast.
AS far as we can Judge Waldo slesds
'em all" in the largest number of. liquor
selling indictments ever found at single
term of court. Of course this result
creates great commotion especially in
Belfast, where most of those reside
whom lightning has struck" Or per-
haps 1t is better to say did reside, for
many of them have skipped evidently
fearing their guilt would out.
Now comes the statement of the situa-
ton. The rumselling farternity and
their sympathizers swear vengeance
| against the constable and are massinr a
powerful force of remonstrances against
his re-appointment, the hearing for
which comes before the Governor and
| Council the 22d inst. They have the
| support of the entire Democratic party
| in the county, and have also drawn in
those others who oppose the enforcement
| OF the law, SO the remonstrance will be
bulky and large, in fact the promoter
| boast they have already fixed" enough
| of the appointment branch to ensure
| their object and recommend the friends
| of Mr.. Files, who favors the enforcement
| of the law to stay.at home and save their
| time and expenses. This may be so, but
| it is quite likely the County ATTORNEY
may appear for the petitioners to.continue
| the Constable, as he, the County Attor-
ney, states publicly that he can receive
no support from the force of sheritfs of
| the county, Democratic, and without
| the aid of the Constable the enforcement
| of the law must suffer.
A very successful work has been done
| by Constable Files during the past two
| years, especially in Belfast, where about
dozen notorious rumsellers have been
driven out, many drinking places closed
permanently, only half as many United
States liquor taxes paid this year as in
previous years, and $50 indictments oh
tanned at this term of court The County
Attorney and friends of enforcement are
in favor of his re-appointment.

The boomerang Is Sot New.

The boomerang, the Australian native S
weapon of oifense and defense, referred
to in all T, ference works as an instru-
ment unknown until after the discovery
of Australia, was doubtless known be-
fore the time of Christ. Pliny the elder,
a contemporary of our Saviour, writes
as follows in his Natural History" re-
speeding an instrument made of the wood
of the aquifolia:
IF a staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal. from want of
strength in the person throwing, falls
short of the mark, it will come back to-
ward the tiIrower of its own accord, SO
remarkable are the properties of that
tree"
1t is altogether probable that the
learned Pliny did not consider the shape
of the STAFF and referred its peculiari-
ties to the nature of the wood of which
it was made.-St. Louis Republic.

The First Sight of Gibraltar.

The first sight of Gibraltar is, think,
disappointing. 1t means SO much, and
so many lives have been given for it and
so many great ships sunk by its batter
les, and such great powers have warred
for 200 years for it's few miles of stone.
that its black outline against the sky,
with nothing to measure it with but the
fading stars, is dwarfed and spoiled. 1t
is only after the sun begins to turn the
lights out, and you are able to compare
it with the great ships at its base, and
you see the battlements and the mouths
of cannon and the clouds resting on its
top, that you understand it. And then
when the outline of the crouching lion
that has faced all Europe for hundred
years comes into relief you remember it
is, as they say, the lock to the Mediter-
ranean, of which England holds the key.
And even while you feel this and are
greedily following the course of each
rampant and terrace with eyes that are
tired of blank stretches of water some
one points to low line of mountains
lying like blue clouds before the red sky
of the sunrise, dim, forbidding and mys-
terious-and you know that it is Africa.

ExiIed Socialists In Siberia.

A number of socialist exiles have been
located at Chita, Siberia. Our CORE
spondent tells us that, though not allowed
to leave the city, they move about freely
enough within it and in various kinds of
skilled handicraft are earning their own
livelihood. They are in this way quite
an acquisition to the neighborhood. If
you have a scientific Instrument to be re-
paired or any work to be donein which
delicate manipulation and special inge-
nuity are essential, you must send for one
of the socialists.
They bear an excellent character, and
the superintendent Of police in Chita
says, eff all the people in this province
were socialists, there would be nothing
for US to do" Alas for this province, a
large proportion of its people are of a
very different type What Van Dieman's
land and Botany bay were to England
half a century ago the Transbaikalia is
to Russia nova cesspool for its crime.
Capital punishment is comparatively
rare in Russia, and villains who would
without doubt receive the death sentence
in England or be lynched without judge
or jury in some parts of the United
States are in this country condemned to

Altgeld on Labor Day.

st. Louis Republic.
Words fifty spoken are like APP
plies of gold in pictures of silver
And nowhere of late have such words
been spoken with rlore force and
with promise of more good effect than
by Governor Altgeld at Chicago on
Labor dav.
Governor Altgeld st that meeting
was emphatically the right man in
the right place. Not because of his
official rank, though it was entirely
proper under existing circumstances
in Chicago that the governor of Hi
nois should be there. 1t is, however,
as citizen of Chicago, elected to
ingmen, who believe in and trust him
as they do no other man, that John
p. Altgeld could be most effective on
such an occasion.
He had the demagogue's opportu-
nifty. He could easily have fallen in
with the schemes of those who pro-
pose to use the state as means of
relief. Instead of this. having in
mind the constitutional limitations
of the powers of the state, he pointed
out the impossibility of such a plan.
He held before his hearers no illusory
hopes or promises, but while insist
ing that it was the duty of society to
assist them, he pointed out the ne
cessity of sacrifice and courage on
their own part.
The mutual dependence upon each
other of labor and capital met with
clear and forcible treatment at the
governors hands. The Argument is
somewhat trite, but : usually with
out effect because made by men who
have no sympathy with labor. in an
swer to other men equally without
any sympathy with capital, who de-
claIS eternal war between the two ell
ements. In the hands of Governor
Altgeld, talking to the Chicago work
ingmen, the argument becomes effec-
tive. When made in connection with
a statement of the causes which have
brought about present conditions
and the things necessary to their bet
ter treatment, it cannot fail to exert
q deep and wholesome influence.
This speech is one Of the most no.
table made since the beginning of
hard times. In MANY respects it is
more important than any which has
been made at Washington. 1t re-
quired both courage and high sense
of duty to make it Its influence is
for good, and it should have wide
circulation and acceptance.

Police ON the Wheel.

The proposal to mount a part of the
park police on bicycles is timely though
tardy. Already the worlds armies have
organize dtheir bicycle service, and it
can hardly be contended that this mode
of locomotiOn is more appropriate there
than in the police service or likely to be
so useful. In the event of the wheels
adoption by the police authority the
public may assume that the men will be
required to sit it properly. They will
not offend the eye by contributing to
the monkey on a gridiron exhibition.
In fact, their martial appearance could
be expected to contribute by its example
to diminish that depressing practice
1t is certain that the seat of the mounted
police has stimulated perception of the
ridiculous in equestrians bobbing from
the saddle like cockney tailors out for a
holiday.
The extension of the use of the wheel
is among the interesting phenomena of
the day. The French postal service has
adopted it extensively in rural service
Even the stolid Briton has proposed the
reform. In England, however, the mag
nitude of the mail offers some difficult
ties. Its growing extension in the col
onies is marked. The export of bicycles
now cuts respectable figure in board
of trade returns. During the past year
the value has nearly doubled.-New

An Eccentric Washington woma,

There is woman in Washington So
ciety whose eccentricities in certain lines
are so well Known as to pass without
comment. Her position as matron of
Literary proclivities is the motive for sun
Cry gatherings at her house during the
season. On one occasion the guests bid
den to the literary feast were informed
upon arrival that they must enter by a
side door, as the morning being rainy
they would otherwise track mud over the
hall carpet. That the hostess is not so
much a respecter of persons as of things
is further evidenced by her conduct at
an afternoon reception.
Those of her guests whose garments
We're ornamented with jet were asked
during their stay to remain in the second
parlor, where the furniture was of ma
hogany. This sorting out process was
explained by the frank announcement
that if people would wear sharp orna-
ments ON their clothes she must protect
her own property by excluding them
from the sacred precincts of the first par
lor so that the rosewood furniture could
not be scratched.-Kate Fields Wash

Stealing Ideas.

1t must be surprising to the uninitiated
to see how soon fashions become general
lied in Paris. A creation" q new fash
ion, is hardly out of an exclusive house
of the Rue de la Paix-hardly out of the
workrooms, it might be said-when you
see it copied in the show windows of the
Louvre and the Bon Marche, where it
can be bought for less than one-fourth
of the price asked by the great couturiers.
At first the rulers of dress thought that
some of their workpeople were bribed to
give points, but they soon discovered that
the pilfering of ideas took place in the
showrooms instead of the workrooms.
The Louvre and the Bon Marche engaged
handsome, distinguished looking young
women, dressed them as if they had $20,-
600 a year and were accustomed from
infancy to having and wearing the best.
gave them a private carriage and had
them go to the great costumers to order
garments lust come out"
These afterward served as the models
of things which the week after you
might buy by the dozens. The large
shops resort to this means to obtain nov
elites not only in the beginning of the
season, but all the year round, and the
couturiers have no way of avoiding the
sales, for their showrooms are open to
all who wish to purchase and give or
ders. To be sure these couturiers make
most of their creations for authentic
princesses and duchesses, but here also
the shops get the best of them.-Cor

Blunder Worse Than Guilt.

There are some penalties on innocent
acts essential to human safety, and the
signaler whose failure has destroyed a
train must be punished, even though,
when he pleads that he was in a ''dwam,'
he is to his own mind telling the simple
and sufficient truth. Nature is even
harder on blunder than on guilt, and
though man has no right to be as stern
as nature, which, for example, executed
a dynamiter at Madrid-not for his in
tention to murder, but for his careless
ness in dropping his bomb-still, there
are points upon which he must be nearly
as hard.-London Spectator.

How to Keep "A Chameleon.

The Florida chameleon, which also is
frequently brought home by the tourist.
is bright and intelligent creature. He
requires almost unlimited sunshine to
bask in, and flies, which he catches on
the end of his long tongue, to eat. A
fernery is a comfortable place for him.
This fellow, it is said, has d temper, and
if not well treated or If teased he will
show fight, though l. can hardly do
much harm. T., -vluine chameleon,
after whom the l.or..a lizard is named,
