The citizens meeting held in the Con.

The citizens meeting held in the Con.
gregational yestry, Monday evening, was
we'll attended and good interest inani-
tested. After the usual opnniag exrr-
cises y. W. Brainarl. T. a., sugg ID
the discussion OF the question, "llo~
can the prohibitory law best be enforc-
ed in Skowhegan?" Chairman Hanson
said that violation of the law WAS in
sense by permission of citizens. Lewis
Anderson conceded with this, but he
said he believed citizens in town gener-
ally desire the enforcement of law He
had talked with many of late and was
impressed with the expressions in favor
of the suppression Of the illegal traffic.
We should take no back tracks, he said,
but press steadily toward. He thought
much had been accomplished of late.
Not as much drinking as their had been
but much more should be done Rev
b. c. Wentworth thought the sheriff
was moving altogether too slowly. Had
done absolutely nothing since we met
here two weeks ago. The Sheriff said
in the start he was ready to enforce the
law if the citizens would sustain him.
One hundred citizens had attended these
meetings representing a million dollars
in property. Surely this was sufficient
support for an officer to encourage him
in doing what it was clearly his duty to
do. l.. l.. Walton, Esq, explained the
situation, agreed with Mr.. Wentworth
in not being satisfied with progress
made. The drinking habit he said was
creeping into places people generally
had little thought of. 1t is auful and
startling to realize the inroads the habit
is making. We don't realize how
near IL is coming to our very homes. 1t
is fearful to think of Mr. Brainerd
suggested that the Sheriff could appoint
a speeial deputy to enforce law and Mr.
w. II. Paine that the selectmen were
authorized by law to appoint constables
for that purpose if necessary. The
chair was authorized to appoint n com
mittee to confer further with Sheriff
Viles and also to appoint a committee
on WAYS and means and the meeting adj
journed until Wednesday evening, Feb.
ruary "a, at 7-30 o'clock at the Congrega-
tional vestry.

There seems to be quite a contest
over the filling of the office of fish and
game commissioner, soon to become
vacant by the expiration of the term of
Hon. Thos. ii. Wentworth of Bangor.
The leading candidates are l.. +. Caile-
ton Esq, of Winthrop, f. NJ. Blanding
of Bangor, and John f. Sprague Esq,
of Monsoon. These gentleman are all it
appears to us, exceptionally well qualiti-
ed for the position. Mr.. Carleton was
one of the trainers of the fish and game
laws of Maine, and takes much personal
interest in their enforcement. l.. NJ
Blandng, through his paper, the Indus
trial journal, has made himself effective
in working for this important Maine i'll
terest. |. +. Sprague Esq. is located
near the heart of the great game and fish
region and would make himself felt if
appointed to the place. But, If Mr..
Wentworth desires To succeed himself,
we can see no goo reason why he
should not receive the appointment. He
has served but one term aud his expert
ence ought to be worth something to
the State, and the fact that he is ii gal
laut veteran of the late war ought not
to count against him.
