The wind and rain which has been
raging the last fOlty.eight hours
show no Signs of aOatlng. Tle
gale has uprOOted trees and play
ed havoc with the electric light
and telegraph wires, having
stopped Geographic communica-
ton for several hours. TIe heavy
rains have washed away many
roads in the rural district making
travel difficult. The water in the
PooOmOke river is the highest ever
known. 1t is on a level with the
bank In every part, and in some
places has over flowed.
Franklin City, about twelve
miles from POcomOke, on the
Chincoteague bay, is submerged.
Water is a foot deep in every
store and house there. The in

Watervile Ne. March 10. 1897.
A growing spirit of lawlessness in our
State has developed a feeling of alarm.
This alarm is manifest in the organiza-
ton of Civic Leagues" in many of the
larger centres.
More than eleven hundred liquor SELL
ers are doing business in our State in de-
1iance of our constitution and statutes
The constituted authorities. with few eX-
ceptionS. are making no effort to sup
press this lawlessness: but are directing
theic efforts solely to moderate re-
pleniShment of the county treasures
through fines imposed. and so. in effect.
are perpetuating the saloon.
The statutes already enacted are amply
sufficient practically to Danish the saloon:
and a disposition faithfully to enforce
these statutes on the part of the proper
authorities is the present need.
Other laws are in like manner being
violated with immunity. Twelve murders
We're committed in our State last year;
and seventeen persons We're sentenced to
the State Prison at the last term of the
superior court in Cumberland county.
Lawlessness is rapidly increasing in our
State: and for this increase the saloon
is largely responsible.
The saloon and its sympathizers are
thoroughly united and organized to per
On this account they secure liberation
ana protection at the hands of the au-
thorties.
The present peril can be met. the right =
aousness of law can be vindicated only by
thoroughly orranizing and unifying the
friends of law and good government.
To this end. a committee originating
in the various churches has met and
formulated the accompanying constitu-
tion. which clearly sets forth their views
as to the best plan to meet the present
great need in our State.
1t is desired that a delegation from
every town and city in the State shall
meet at Waterville. Me-. on Monday the
?9th day of March. 1897. to organize for
mally the Christian Civic League of
Maine and to elect the required officers.
You are hereby invited to be present at
this meeting. and to induce others inter-
ested in the cause to be present also. and
to take part in the organizati ton.
1t is proposed to hold an evening mass
meeting on the day of organization. to
