The women who assembled at Houlton
ton as to prohibition got some valuable
instruction in regard to our plan of gov
eminent, the duties of the executive it's
limitations, etc., but if they got any
light on the much vexed question how to
bring about an impartial and stringent
enforcement of the prohibitory law it
was a very dim one. The Governor prac-
ticaIly told them that he could not do
anything that would be of really help.
full nature toward the accomplishment of
the purpose which they had at heart He
might instruct the sheriffs to enforce
the law, but if they paid no attention to
him he could not remove them or punish
them in any other way. Of course he
could not instruct Mayors or Boards of
Aldermen, whose special duty it is made
to see that the prohibitory law is en-
forced The Governor disclosed the real
difficulty of the situation. and the one
that must be cured before we shall have
any steady and stringent enforcement of
the La ", when he said that all power re-
sides in the people. If all power resides
there of course the power to enforce the
prohibitory law resides there. II it be
there the people can exercise 1t If they de-
sire to. The truth is that they do not
now desire to, that is to say, do not desire
to to its full extent; and while this re.
mains the case all the rroclamations
which the Governor may issue command
ing the execution of this law will not be
worth much more than the paper on
which they are written. The fountain
of all law and all enforcement of law in
this State is the people, and we need new
er expect that the stream which flows
from it will rise above it's source. The
fact is that the advanced reformers are
prone to forget several important facts.
One is that our government is not gov
eminent of the best, but of the average,
another is that all who shout, or even
vote, for prohibition on occasion are not
at heart sincere believers in the policy
and sincerely anxious to seeEit enforced.

The, situation in Cuba, as pictured by
Consul General Lee, is an appalling one.
More than two hundred Thousand of the
Inhabitants are without the means of sup
port. and on the verge of starvation.
Nothing but help from the outside can
save them. And in all probability the
situation will grow worse instead of bet
ter. The character of the warfare is such
as to paralyze all work in the agricultural
districts. Guerilla bands of rebels and
Spaniards sweep over the island destroy
ing all property that comes in their way,
terrifying the people and rendering pro-
ductive industry practically impossible.
All hope that autonomy might be accept
ed by the rebels is gone, and sthe indica-
lions are thase The conflict is destined in
the future to rage moret 'fercely than
ever. The situation is fast becoming one
that may call for interference on the
grounds of humanity to prevent the
useless and wanton destruction of life and
property. There can be hardly shadow
of doubt that the island is lost to Spain,
and that continuance of the conflict
will accomplish nothing except its COM
plete devastation.

The American consul at Nagasaki has
reported to the State Department the
closing of the tea season in Japan and
announces that the tea shipped to the
United States this year is of a much
higher quality than that heretofore ex-
ported to the country. This improve
ment is no doubt in a great measure due
to legislation initiated by the committee
on ways and means, and enacted by the

ANNEXATION.
To the Editor of the Press:

~~"'S~'
The burden of the annexation song thus
far seems to be the insincerity of the OPP
ponents. When the advocates of any pro-
position are driven to the extreme Of at
tempting to throw disoredit upon their
opponents by attacking their intentions
and honesty, it is safe to draw the con
clusion that they find difficulty in an
swering the arguments of the other side
and wish to-.draw the attention of the
public to some other point by question
ing the motives [of their opponents.
There has seemed to be a concerted effort
on the part of the annexationists to have
us believe that the motives of those op-
posing thu pres mt plan for annexation
are entirely selfish, while those who are
seemingly so anxious to promote the in
terests of Deering by annexing her to
Portland are actuated only by the broad
est and most altruistic of motives.

cal spite should play no part in the decis-

The City of Berlin is situated in Coos County,
New Hampshire, on the Androscoggin River,
which furnishes at this point one Of the finest
water powers in New England.
The Boston & Maine and Grand Trunk Rail-
roads give ample facilities.
The large Plants of the Berlin Mills Co., the
Burgess Sulphite Fibre Company and the Glen
Co. are located at Berlin.
In 1880 Berlin had a population of 100, in
1890 the population was 3729, in 1895 1881 and is
now estimated to be over 5000.
In 1886 the Berlin Mills Company employed
575 men. the Glen Co. 400. the Burgess Sulphite
Fibre Company 125 and other smaller concerns
40 more.
Since then the Burgess Sulphite Fibre Com
pany have doubled the size Of their plant, The
Glen Co. have rebuilt and very much enlarged
their three mills and a shoe factory has been
built which now employs 45o operatives.
In addition to the water power required by
the above mentioned corporations $4,000 horse
will result in steady growth in population in
