territory in the Methodist Episcopal

The prohibitory law has been on the
statute books of Maine for more than
forty years. It provides that the sale of
intoxicating liquor shall be made only for
use ID the mechanical arts and for medi-
cine, and that sales for those purposes
should be made through state agency
and town agencies. The system has been
tinkered at every session of the legislature
since its original enactment. and has
proved a most scandalous failure. ain the
cities. at least" says the Portland Press,
1.-THE agencies have proved to be dispense
ries of liquors for all sorts of purposes.
Their sales for legitimate Uses have been
but an Insignificant fraction Of their aggre-
gate sales" The truth Of this statement
is illustrated by the recent report of the
liquor agent Of Biddeford, one of the
smaller cities, that he sold during 1892,
'for mechanical and medicinal purposes"
liquors worth 22,72o! Many of the Pro-
hlbltionists themselves are now disguised
with the agency plan. and another scheme
is brought forward which proposes to sub
stitute druggists IS dispensers of liquors
for such purposes under severe restriction.

which influenced Senator Eiens. of Skagit

to give their votes TO Mr.. Allen, must at
length prevail with the Republican
minority. Without any ground Of OPP

Turner must see that further opposition if
not altogether hopeless is utterly without
justification. The Allen majority cannot
in fairness be expected to Withdraw and
dissppoint the majority of the Republicans
Of Washington; the Turner minority can
not refuse to withdraw their opposition
without laying themselves open 10 the
charge Of factional and sectional obstruct-
iveness. 1t is time for the opposition 10
yield with good grace and join with the
majority in the important work of the
session. If, as We hope and expect, the
best counsels prevail with the opposition,
Senator Aliens election ought to take
place today or by Tuesday at the farthest.
