TOWN LIQUOR AGENCIES AND
PAUPERISM.
10 the Editor of the Press:

10 the Editor Of the Press:
My attention being called to the large
amount of liquor sold in the Elittle tow
of Greenwood in Oxford county, was
somewhat curious to note the effect 1t
might have on the business and prosper
ity of the town.
/ find by the report of the town officers
for the year 1857, the dato of the earliest
copy I could obtain, that in accordance
with vote of the town procured by the
earnest efforts of the leading citizens, no
liquor was legally sold In town during
that year. At that time the town had a
total valuation of $184, 1924, 1877 polls and a
population of 49, and the pauper ex-
pense for the year was $445.15. The fol-
lowing May an agent appointed by the
selectmen of the town to sell liquors for
medicinal, mechanical and manufacture
ing purposes, and no other" and that he
was good salesman is shown by the
annual report of that year that from May
25th, 1888, to February 18th, 1889, he sue
ceeded in selling in q town of less than
800 inhabitants, for the purposes above
named liquors to the amount of Sl5l9. q
and the pauper expense went UP 10
$5J5.92.
There appears to have been some trouble
with the working of the agency that year.

Of liquors, which the court records for
that county will show, for find the
agent in his settlement with the Town !,
was allowed $3.50 "on account OF costs'
and probably for much the same reason
the agency was not opened for business
until July 18th and closed again Septem-
Der 22nd in which short time the sales
amounted to s2i0.s5 and the town paid
that year for the expense of its poor

Messrs. H. B. Hartford, G. e. Palmer,

Hopkinson left for the wilds of northern
Maine. Last Tuesday they returned,
bringing with them four fine deer. This
in brilliant social affair last Saturday
evening in our village. About seven
o CLOCK on that evening, throngs Of people
were seen vending their way toward the
residence of Mr.. Hartford in response to
invitations fromfthe members of "Camp
Standish' to be present at a game supper
to be served in Hartford's hall. The hall
had been decorated for the occasion with
yellow and white bunting. Fire arms
and hunting apparatus Of all kinds were
hung here and there on the walls or
placed across the antlers of mounted
heads of deer, while evergreen trees,
placed here and there in convenient COR
ners, reminded one of the forest Five
long tables, seating eighty people, were
spread in the hall, and were more than
twice filed. The following menu was
served by the young ladies' Of the village

The supper was prepared by Mrs. Hart

many tributes to their skill were heard
After every one had been served and
had eaten much more than was condnc-
tive to agood nights rest. Mr.. c. F.
Swasey proposed vote Of thanks to the
Camp and three cheers for Mr.. Hart
ford which were heartily given. A short
musical programme was rendered, and at
"A late hour the guests departed for their
homes. 1t was one Of the most enjoyable
social events that has ever taken place in
our village.

A NUS ANCE.

1t is high time the authorities
looked after the transportation OF
giant powder through the town.
Drsys and vans are loaded with it
so heavily that the horses can
barely haul the burdens at their
living best upon the dead levels
of the lower streets. When the
steep hills leading to the powder
magazine are reached the hauling
becomes a painful sight that ought
to he seen by the agent of the s. p.
G. A. Yesterday, for instance, it
took horse attached to
one van the greater part of two
hours to be worked zigzag
fashion from Beretania street the
quarter Of mile to its destina-
ton. 1t is not uncommon to see
part of "A load left piled mp on the
side of the street, in front of
dwellings, and without a caretaker,
while the to MISTER gets the rest
of the load to the magazine.
There is more than cruelty to ami
mails IN the transportation, as car
RED on, of this dreadful ex..
plosive. Should the abused horse
rebel and wheel round down the
mountain slope, there would be
liability OF an explosion from con-
cussion which would spread death
AID devastation FIR mile
around. Drivers are sometimes
seen smoking on the loads
as they whip their charges
up the incline, or place them
standing athwart the road for
breathing spell. 1t is said by
those who have knowledge of the
packing of giant powder that
grains of the explosive sometimes
adhere to the joints of the cases.
A very little of the material ignit-
ed might explode the mass of a
load, and the sawdust packing
dribbling out, as it has been seen
to do along our streets, makes an
inviting finder for lighted
match or cigar stump carelessly
dropped to catch. Since the Gov
eminent refuses to make sign
toward the removal of the powder
magazine from the midst of a
populous section, the least it can
do is to see that the carriage of
explosives to and from the de-
pository is conducted with due
regard to life and property.

COMING TO PASS.

boom IN the United states Is COM
ing to pass, though perhaps earlier
than might have been expected, in
the fields Of Chino, California.
The halloween has been confront
ed with demand for fair prices
from the farmer with the alter
native of having the supply OF
baets cut off entirely. Th'7 Is the
snag upon which the industry
struck in earlier stages back East.
The farmers cannot 90 on severe
" taxing the fertility of their soil
to raise beets for the prices that
the sugar man afacturers are will
ing to give after they have the
farmers where they think they
want them. There really would
seem to be fair average OF mar
ket value for products in general
demand, so that when one is
doomed to the neglect OF others
there is an enhancement OF value,
in the course of time, to the neg
lectad ones which will attract re
newed attention to them whenever
prices are cut in the first product
favored. 4 general rush into
sugar beet cultivation, under pub
lie or private stimulus, or both to-
gether AS now is the case in Anne
RIGA, will ultimately result in re-
ducing the profits of the industry
to the common plane of those
from the raising of other agricul-
turaI staples. Ii Hawaiian soil
all over could produce good hard
wheat, and the worlds wheat
market stiffeued to the old dollar
a bushel rate with reasonable
prospect of permanency, It would
take much harder work than is
now required to promote new
sugar plantations, with sugar
hanging q little above three cents,
even with the American market
free to Hawaiian sugar and
other sugars having to pay duty.
An industry, moreover, that re.
auires the taxation of cognate in
dustries for its sustenance is not
likely for a great while to hold
claim for being given an unusual
scale of profit, especially in
country of democratic government
wherein every interest maintains
watchful jealousy toward all others
regarding the bestowal of public
favOrs. At the same time, while
protection to home industries is a
cardinal policy IN the United
States, sugar is likely to hold its
share of tariff, if not bounty, nou-
rishment, even though there might
be no hope of the country's pro-
duction of the article ever over
taking it's consumption. Revenue
being yielded by the protective
duties affords an additional reason
for maintaining them, especially
since the price of the article is so
low in comparison with former
times that the tax can hardly be
called burden. 1t is even from
the free trade standpoint neces-
sary evil, so long as the worlds
sugar market continues to be de-
pressed by the artificial stimulus
of boanties in Europe. Were the
sugar market allowed to come to
natural basis by the abrogation
of bounties on production and ex-
port everywhere, the producers of
sugar in the United States would
require but little protection of i'm
port duties, and the Hawaiian ISL
ands would not need to be alarmed
over periodical threats of abroga-
ton of the reciprocity treaty with
the United States. While things
are as they are, however, there is
not enough in beet sugar for the
growers of the raw material in the
United States, to make it ut all
