this year there has been spirited con-
test over the mayoralty, in many an apa-

sought in vain. There have been fewer

people have had freer choice as to candi-
dates; but do not appear to have avail

agitation is probably responsible in part
for this condition of affairs. If prohibit

Within the shadow of our homes
The viper may be lurking near,
That can destroy our highest hopes
And ruin all we hold most dear.
Now when we close this District Lodge,
And to our home go back tonight,
Let's go with determined will
To strike still harder for the right.
And do our best where'er we be
TO show that we are Templars true,
Who will stand firmly by our cause,
Regardless what others may do.

All the towns will have big bills to
pay for breaking roads. We doubt if
any one storm has ever required so much
work in this direction; and the end is
not yet, for in some places the travel is
over drifts four or five feet deep and a
thaw will necessitate more shoveling
A man from the country who came to
the city last week declared that every
town in Waldo county would be bank
rupted by the storm. "How is it in
your town." asked citizen. "Just as
bad as can be-" was the reply. Every
man and every team has been at work
ever since the Storm "You did mot
send out of town for help, did you?"
asked the citizen. ooh, no" was the
reply. ''Then how could the town be
bankrupted? The money was paid to
your own people; it cannot get away"
The countryman admitted that he had
not looked at it in that light, and he
went home feeling better.

l9Ol, by MarcelluS y. DOW:
Sisters and brothers, one and all,
Who at this time are gathered here,
AS guests of this, the Belfast lodge,
Where we now meet once each year,
And who again have given to US
A cordial welcome and good cheer,
Such as they always give when we
Get round in annual session here.
We surely should acknowledge now
The welcome that is given to us,
In such a cordial friendly way,
Without pretence, parade or fuss.
Their doors to us have opened wide,
Their willing hands our needs supply,
They greet us with friendly smile,
To please us they do surely try
Their number is but very small
To entertain the crowd we bring,
But they have done the thing so well
Their praises we must surely sing.
And now that we have been well fed,
And all our creature wants supplied,
They have prepared welcome speech
To cheer our minds and swell our pride
That they are glad to have us here,
They say right out in pleasing phrase,
And give to us welcome such
AS we've not had for many days.
What can we do but stand up straight
And strive to make nice reply,
To beat the speech that has been made
We surely shell not dare to try.
The dinner past, the welcome said,
We now must get to actual work,
For surely we do not intend
The business Of the day to shirk.
A danger threatens in our State
That we should get prepared to fight,
And we should see our duty clear
Before we leave this hall tonight.
We must brace up our temperance bands
And get them ready for the fray,
For ought we know the call may come
To get at work most any day.
For if the resubmissionists
Should chance to carry out their will,
And pass legislative act
The features now put in their bill,
Why we must meet the noise made
By them with no uncertain sound
And have our ranks well filled again
Before the battle day gets round.
Our dormant members must arouse,
The need of action sure is clear,
Recruits must fast be gathered in
To battle for our cause so dear.
But if they fail to pass the bill,
As now we hope will be the case,
There still is work needs to be done
In nearly every town and place.
We need to pledge each other true
In this our special, righteous cause,
To work for honest temperance,
Supported by efficient laws.
tbs Prohibition for the State
And abstinence from the drink evil,
For God and Home and Every Land
Against the grog shop and the devil.
We cannot shirk it if we would wish,
The danger now is close at hand;
No better way is found to work
Than with our own Good Templar band.
Then let us draw together close,
Prepared to strike as chance is given
Against the giant curse of rum,
For sake Of friends, and home, and heaven.
We each can find something to do,
No matter what the place we fill,
And we should step right to the front,
Ready to work with q hearty will.

Maine cuts no ice this year. No busy
men and teams dot the smooth surface
of the Kennebec or the Penobscot. The
ice houses are empty and deserted.
There will be no ice freights in the
coming months for our coasting vessels.
The ice is here, millions upon millions
of tons the houses are here, the men
and horses are here; and there is ton
mage and to spare for carrying the ice
to market What is it that has blight
ed this Maine industry? The ice trust
the Tammany- Croker-Van Wyck ice
trust. Last season they bought all the
principal ice plants on the Kennebec and
PenobScot rivers, and this season they
have harvested their supply on the
Hudson. You may next expect to hear
of a shortage, as an excuse for squeeZ-
ing the consumers, and this will be easy
to execute as there can be no Maine
ice sent to the trust-controlled markets.
affairs will be allowed to continue. Ice
has come to be as much of necessity
as coal, or pure air and pure water. In
the large cities short supply of ice, or
a prohibitive price, is menace to the
public health, and lengthens the death
roll of the tenement sections. Surely,
il there are no laws to reach such traf-
ficing, there is, or ought to be, public
spirit enough to strangle, legally, such
creations as the Tammany ice trust.
