The SAERIgFS AND THE LIQUOR
LAW,
(Erunswick Teiesrsph.)

&SsSeAskA't
The attack upon the Sherlff's office In
Portland this week brings to light con .
dition OF things that IL by no means
new. MIR. Despeaux and his officials have
served less dummy warrants than any
officer In the list twenty five years. The
proportion Of cons ictions to warrants
served is much higher than under the
reign Of his predecessors. And the Efforts
the county attorney using the city ma
ohinery have teen far less prod uotive
cf results. The system and not Mr..
Despeaux is at fault. The enforcement t
of ths prohibitory law 10 getting to bs
more than q farce; IL is disgrS oef IL In the
extreme, and II the eyes Of the people are
not opeDd to 1t, 1t Is simply because they
do not wish to see. In iaot there II NO
movement on foot OF any practical and
sensible kind toward the remedy OF this
state OF thirgs. Ths only attempt In
Portland Is to reducS the expsnFe OF a
systein which produces no practical re-
suits. The moment any body Of influsn-
tial oitizsns indicate that they wish the
law enforced or when there shall be any
Indication that an enforcement Of the
law will not result in burying out OF
sight the officials Responsible for such
eosion, the law will be enfor oed. That
10 the plain, unvarntshed truth and IL the
statement be treason, make the most OF
It. And 1t Is a very sad state Of things
In the State Of Maine.
TAE BANKRUPTCY LAW.
(New YORK Evening Post.)
Whils the bankruptcy law requires
amendment In several particulnrs. espsc-
tally In the line of more stringent rssu-
lations against fraud. Its operation has
heen, on the whole satisfactory. IL is q
better law than those OF 1900, of lS4f,
and Of 1867. 1t certainly results In the
ex peditious disposal Of bankruptcy cases,
for, up to September so last. there had
been f1led some II 900 petitions, on which
thsre had been 10, $50 adj .dtcations, re-
suitinR In 10. Se3 discharges. Thus, In
tftesn months, half the cases had been
finally disposed OF, which Ia remarkably

the total Of all fsilures from every causs
during thu last three years, which indi.
oates Ihat the lia abiiities sxtinguishsd are

the Law Is therefore that OF a statute Of
short Limitations, ara there IL much to
be said In favor OF = general policy Of
this kind. Ths most Important pro-

untary bankruptcy, which have

Upon landing we found soldiers ev-

the most rigid order Is everywhere
kept. Everything closes up at $3.50 p.

for long distance up and down and

Gen. Otis and his officials DO their Dusl-

OF churches and monasteries the church

OF the old city.
That part OF Manila at the right out
side the walls Is where the most OF the
people live. and where nearly all Of the

As we look the sun comes near 70 its

with people, who make white lines

suburbanites OF this Filipino capital

factories and are now returning TO their

RATS AND HOGS AS DRAUGHT
ANIMALS.
The scenes IN the middle Of the street
are. even more strange than those on
the Sidewalks. What would you think
Of having rats and hogs to pull your
drays and your carriages2 Well, the
Filipino draught animals are not much
unlike these. The carriages are drawn

that you can see everywhere the hide
through the brlstles. They have, am
told. few pores IN their skin, and they
wallow In the water and mud Just like
hogs. They are worse In this respect
than hogs, for they must wallow sew

they will go crazy, and mad caribou
is a dangerous benst For this reason
their drivers stop them every now

take a ten-minute bath. The great
beasts walk down steps into the water
and lie there with nothing but their
heads showing out. You may Sc scores
OF them so bathing during half hours

The most of the hauling Is done by
these caribou on drays and carts. They

again you strike a quarter which has
some OF the aspects OF Venice. There
are streets like those OF old Spain, hav-
ing bright-cplored houses, with ball
comics and barred windows, which
hang out over the streets. and IN the

rounded by q wide moat and great
walls, you are In the Europe Of the

The business sections are still stran-
ger. There is one made up OF Chinese.
where tens OF thousands Of Chinese live
and have their stores. The chief street
OF this section Is Just like one OF the
