THE ORIGINAL PROHIBITIONS
IsT DEAD.-General Neal Dow,
the original prohibitionist and
father of the Maine liquor law,
died last week, at Portland, at the
advanced age Of 90 years. He
had lived more than forty years
TO witness the operation Of his
favorite progeny and doubtless
died salts fed with the benef0cnt
results accomplished, while many
thousands of his fellow citizens
differed with him in his estimate
of its far reaching beneficial eff
fects. This class believes, that
while the law prevents legitimate
traffic in alcoholic beverages, it
has no more suppressed the sale
of them in cellars, dark corners,
alleys aud by-ways and their use in
private residences, than have the
penal statutes of the various
States suppressed murder, arson,
burglary, rape and robbery.

without curtailment, coloring or
altering, been printed.
2. That the New Orleans papers
