more, and where is there rum-seller in
when the boy calls for it and shows the
money to pay for it?
And so the work goes on till before the
parents even suspect wrong, their son is
in the grip of the rum appetite. And
what room is there then for hopee Let
the aching hearts of more than one father
and mot her in Bar Hsrbor answer.
To protect that boy and his home and
keep pure his young manhood for the
years before him, invoke the aid OF the
law to shut that rum-shop up that now
threatens his ruin.
To restate the situation in brief, 1t is
this We believe that the resident rum
shops OF Bar Harbor are an unmitigated
evil from whatever point OF view you
look al them. Finding law on our
statute books that, II used, can abate the
evil, we use it just We would use
court plaster to heal a wound. As to he
hotels, when they pick our pockets and
get our men drunk, II the law is still on
our books we shall fix the same bulldog
grip on them that, thank heaven, We
have now got on the rum shops.
As to the business OF the place being
injured by this move in favor OF common
decency, we have to confess that 1t has.
The rumseller's receipts must have fallen
off hy good many dollars, and by the
time he has paid all the fines that are
hanging over him. his business Will have
suffered still more. That is all the suffer
ing hat ! know OF that has come to the
business Of the place from this socalled
war. Last year there was no war, and
several cottages were without tenants,
and some OF the hotels were closed. This
year, with the war, the cottages are full,
the Rodick house is open and doing well,
The Louisburg is reported as having more
guests than ii can lodge, " lille the list Of
hotel arrivals shows a better hotel season
all around than for some years back
As to there being no one to receive tie
business mems petition to Wit hdraw all
restraints from the rum-shops except
" hat the police see fit to exercise, the
movement is purposely unorganized. For
any one to arrogate the position OF
ltaNti NOulh piiI Hdll tlIt INV men.
While acknowledging no leader, We feel
that Z. B. Richards, esq, by his self
sacrificing efforts to arrest the tide q
lawlessness that has been already too
long gathering force, Is placing the Whole
town under obligation. To Constable
Bunker and Officer Higgins We owe deht
OF praise that a whole Boston Jubilee
could not cancel.
When the war shall have been fought
through to victory and he money that
now goes for rum shall go into Legitimate
trade, and the places that now threaten
our homes with ruin shall be known only
one recalls a dismal nightmare, then
secretly, II not openly, the business men
who now oppose Us viii invoke blessings
on the heads OF those who, at such cost OF
criticism, made our Eden by the sea clean
in business and clean in morals.

blJe Danube, and remembering
&c. that might in Junc
Upon the Danube river"
We came here from Vienna down the
Danube by steamer. The river is nett her
blue nor beautiful; it is muddy and ugly.
There i no poetry in il or about it. Still
the days SAL down It's broad current Wa
interesting.
\ little way below Vienna, near Press
burg, the old capital OF Hungary. we had
a spur OF the Carpat hians in sight on tie
north bank, and a spur OF the Syrian
AlIs on the south. The greater part OF
the way the shores were low and fiat,
enabling Us to see far inland the farms
and houses OF the Hungarian people
The farms seemed fruitful, and the
houses more comfortable than those
among the Alps. 1t Was harvest time,
and the fields We're covered with sheave.
and stacks OF grain. Not sign OF an
agricultural machine was visible, and in
one place We saw people thre-hing grain
by hand with fails. W were told, how
ever. that ho--e-thres 4lns machines were
used.
The grain Is miled in the quaiutest OF
mills, such as have been in use thous-
and years. EveryW here along the whole
course Of the river Ne saw groups OF float
ing grist mills. The mill building and
stones are supported Oh large scow
or float Another smaller ,coW is moored
beside and near the first. Between the
two, and supported by both, j. the huge
wheel with its paddles propelled by the
current. The wheel moves slowly, but |
suppose it grinds. These mills are all of
wood, and, covered with mould and moss,
they were extremely picturesque. There
are hundreds of them between Vienna
and Budapest.
The famous Hungarian cattle were WISH
bic in large and numerous herds. Droves
Of hogs and fiocks of geese were plenty
on either bank. Horses also were com
mon. All these animals seemed anxious
to get into the water to avoid the heat,
and so did the men, women and children.
The shores were lined with naked boys
splashing in the water. We saw women
rush into the water up to the waist and
then run back to wiring out their wet
skirts. Then men went in as they were,
without stopping to remove their gar
ments.
At one landing we saw an original,
genuine, first hand, gypsy encampment.
They were Withholding people swarthy,
with long black hair, which the women
let fall over their faces down to the waist.
The children were naked. The men were
dressed in shawls and tattered garments,
and all were slatternly and dirty. The
children and women seemed curious about
the steamer and its passengers, but the
men lay on the sand without notice,
scarcely raising their heads.
The approach to Budapest in the even
ing was lovely, and on both sides Of the
Danube the city lights shone brilliantly
a cheerful welcome. These cities are
interesting historically, but are not
beautiful. They cannot compare with
Vienna for streets or buildings, but the
people here think they have the finest

Our National Delegation.
State Republican

From The State Republican.
Recently the Republican has
noted several articles III Detroit
newspapers relative to the selection
of delegates-at.large TO represent
Michigan in the next republican
national nominating convention, and
passing mention has been made OF
several real or supposed candidates
tor that honor, II being generally
conceded that one delegate At least
would come from Detroit.
Of the Detroit republicans who
have thus far been mentioned as
known candidates for the position of
delegate at-large to the national con
vention, it would appear to the Re
publican that no one more closely
meets the requirements than does
Gen. Russell A. Alger. Gen. Alger
has always been known as an un-
swerving republican, aggressive, and
actively loyal to the decisions OF his
party, whether expressed in state or
national councils; and while his fl
deity Is unquesuoned, his record Is
remarkably free from local intrigues,
factions and jealousies-a fact which
ought to make him acceptable TO all
interests. Add TO the qualifications
the fact that he will be no new and
untried man, his past experience
having thoroughly famiIiarzed him
with the details of business in such
body, while his acquaintance and
reputation as a business man, a poll
tician, aid a prominent figure IN
social and Grand Army circles is
national, and it might be fairly con.
cluded that among the many gifted
and popular republicans Of Detroit,
none possesses more of the essentials
for representative Michigan man
in such body than does Gen. Alger.
