Brunswick Telegraph: 1t is rather
unfortunate at temperance meeting
such as was held Sunday evening"
and typical one by the way,-that
the speakers consider their whole duty
done when few observations are
publican parties, the principal officials
OF the town, and the town liquor agen-
cy, together with few glittering
Generalities concerning the state of af-
fairs in Maine, which are about the
same as for the last twenty years. No
suggestions are made and no practical
measures taken for the betterment Of
affairs calculated to lessen the pre-
vailing evils, resulting from the liquor
evil universally admitted to be lament
able. Maine is not only at a stand
still on the temperance question, but
IS losing ground. Reforms and tenn
perance societies of the reformatory
kind, are almost an unknown guam
tity. The Maine law was calculated TO
hold the ground gained by these reform
ers and nothing more. Having created
the machine and put in good working
order the reformers seem to have hand
machine and put it in good working or
der, the reformers seem to have hand
ed the running of it over to disinterest-
ed parties to say the least and confine
their temperance efforts to criticism
OF the machinist-and the machinst
IN many instances confines his efforts
to criticising the machine!

Narraguagus Times: Maine well
comes the visiting sportsman and
urges on the resident gunner, but if
you are about to hunt, instil this reso-
luton into every fibre of your being;
that no matter what the temptation is
to shoot, no matter how many other
chances have been missed heretofore
because of exercising caution you will
not on any condition, shoot till per-
fectly certain as to the nature of the
target. There's no doubt but what
such caution will bring chagrin to the
hunter good many times. but isn't
the satisfaction Of being perfectly safe
from long grief well worth it?
