in one day without even the change of a
word. Under this law liquors intended
for unlawful sale were contiscated and
destroyed, and those who sold or kept
them for sale were fined or imprisoned,
and the places where they were KEPT Jr
sold were declared public nuisances.
In 1884 prohibition was put into the
constitution of the state of Maine by a
majority of 47,075, the affirmative vote
being three times larger than the mega
tive. General Dow made three visits to
England by invitation of the United
Kingdom alliance in aid of the agitation
for prohibition. No man has given more
gratuitous service or accomplished as
much for total abstinence and prohibi-
tion as General Dow.
He has been twice elected mayor of his
native city and twice member of the
Maine legislature. He served through
out the civil war as brigadier major
general, commanding the department of
the gulf, holding at different times three
separate commands. He was twice
wounded and once taken prisoner, when
he was confined for eight months before
an exchange took place.
In 1880 he was the candidate of the
Prohibition party for president. He was
80 years old on the Goth of March, 1894,
and is as full of life and vigor as men of
so. He walks miles every day to keep
the bloom in his cheeks" and answers
his large number of letters with his own
hands.

But the boys will soon be men.
And out of our homes and out of our

Will come our statesmen then.
A trumpet note of victory blends
With all their fun and noise.
You need never despair of the future,
friends,
If you don't forget the boys.
Come, come, ye Christian fathers,
Don't kick up such row
Because your boys a drunkard,
And lives among the low.
You voted with a party
That passed the license laws.
You helped to push the victim
Into the demen's jaws.

NEAL DOW'S REASONS.
Why lie Left the Republican Party and
United With the Prohibition Party.

Why He Left the Republican Party and
United With the Prohibition Party.
The following letter from General Neal
Dow to Mr.. Tallie Morgan, manager of
the National Press Bureau, Scranton,
Pa, will be of interest to our readers
just now, when all the Christian world
are paying honor to the grand old man"
of the temper, 90 reform:
PORTLAND, March |.
Tallie Morgan:
DEAR SIR-Your note of tho 25th ult. is re-
ceived. You ask me for my reasons for join
ing the Prohibition party.
From the birth of the Republican party
was among its warmest and most loyal friends
and devoted adherents for many reasons,
which you can readily understand.
After the great issues which gave rise to that
party had virtually passed, the suppression of
the liquor traffic was, in my view, by far the
most important public question to be dealt
with by the nation, state and people. | con-
sidered it far more important a political
question than any other occupying public at
tention, and it could be settled only at the bal
lot box.
l did not join the Prohibition party until
some years after its foundation, because |
hoped the question would be taken up and set
tied by the Republican party, and which then
seemed to me plain indication. If that
expectation had been realized the friends of
prohibition would have found it speedier way
to success, avoiding the heavy work. the long
delay and large cost involved in the formation
of a new party.
1t was only after thorough conviction that
nothing could be hoped for or expected from
the Republican party in that direction that
joined the Prohibition party. The Republican
party became intimately and ndissolubly
connected with the liquor interests of the
country that it could not survive without such
an alliance. That, understand, is the situa-
tion today. Yours respectfully,
NEAL Dow.
General Dow was in 1851, as he is
now, one of the most ardent temperance
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-05-01

I do not know that the Republican
party will always or even long preserve
its courage, its moderation and its con-
sistency. If it, too, shall become un-
faithful, as all preceding parties have
done, it will, without sorrow or regret
ON my part, perish as they are perishing
and will give rise to another, truer and
better one.-William II. Seward
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-05-01

And how a professed Christian can
consistently say, II don't believe in
pledging myself" is not easily seen. He
is already pledged. He no more binds
himself in promising not to drink than
he has previously, of choice, bound him
self in attaching himself to God and his
people.-H. c. Fish, d. d.

For the laboring man the alehouse is
now place of pure, unmitigated evil.
The diminution of these houses is one of
the most practical and efficient means of
real radical reform.

viii the Gold supply Be Exhaustcdl

The two most eminent living writ
ers on the most precious metals, Suess
and Soetbeer, have recently published
very alarming statement 1t
is to the effect that the total
amount of gold dug out of the earth
annually suflices only to supply the
present demand for that valuable sub
stance for use in the arts. Not bit
of the new product of the mines is
available for coinage. Trinket use and
waste in manufacture exhaust the
whole yield. If this is correct, then
gold must vanish from circulation be-
fore long, because the output of the
gold mines of the world is diminish
ing rather than increasing, and there
are few fields left to explore. But
Uncle Sans metallurgists say that it
is not so. The writers quoted fail to
consider the fact that the gold en-
ployed in the arts is utilized over and
over again. 1t goes through a sort of
cycle.
Articles of jewelry often disappear,
but are seldom lost. When through
accident they pass out of the posses
sion of the well-to-do, they go to the
poor and sharp-eyed, who sell them or
pawn them. Some iewelry is lost by
fire and some in the sea, and these
losses are absolute and hopeless; but
iewelry otherwise is certain, practically
all of it, to find its way sooner or
later to the pawnshops or into the
hands of dealers in old gold. Thus it
is melted up eventually and reappears
again in other shapes. This is what
is termed the ''invisible supply" of
that metal Washington Star.
