SHERIFF cOMMINGS ON THE PROHIBI.
TORY LAW.

Rev. U. 8. Commlngs of Auburn,
Maine, Sheriff-elect Of Androscoggin,
county in his address at the Christian
Endeavor services OF the state of
Maine, delegation in Park st. Church,
defended the prohibitory law declar-
ing that a vote for it's repeal in Maine
would show a moral degeneration of
the people in that state. He said in
part. The prohibitory law OF Maine
was enacted after years of agitation
and experiment. 1t was enacted
after years of agitation and expert
ment. 1t was not the result of a sud
den impulse but after years of trial
the prohibitory statute was engrafted
into tie constitution. 1t was not
done by cranks and fanatics. Pro-
vision was made for the establishment
of agencies in cities and towns where
liquors of all kinds might be procured
for medicinal use. Practically the
rum evil is an unmitigated curse.
Tn drink habit is the most fruitful
source of crime. There is an increas-
Ing number OF people who admit these
facts, but do not believe in the prac-
tical workings of the prohibitory law.
A correspondent of Boston paper
will visit the cities of Maine, relate
the conditions under which the liquor
traffic fourishes, and will draw the
conclusion that the law is a failure
Is il the lar that is failure, or is it
the officials that fail? Which is the
wiser course-to change the law, or
to change the officials until the law
has been sho wn to be right or wrong?
Who are those who most actively OPP
p Sc the prohibitory law? 1t is the
men who profit by the sale of liquor.
1t is not the appetite for drink, but
the appetite for money that opposes
prohibition. If it were not for the
business interests involved there
would be no question of trying to re-
peal the law. Did any one ever hear
petitions from women and famil es
urging repeal?
The fact that prohibition connot be
enforced entirely, is no argument for
its repeal more than for the repeal of
any law that is broken. The prohioi
, ton laws of Maine are in the balance
to-day and are being weighed more
carefully than ever before. 1t de-
wolves on every citizen of the state to
elect men equal to the duties asked of
them. We have long foreign border,
a lopg coast line, and other states,
/ where liquors are freely sold, have
easy access to Maine. These are the
evils which somewhat impede the
suc ,essful enforce ment of the prohib
it ry laws in Maine to-day, and which
those interested in the temperance
ca1se are now vigorously striving to
overcome or remedy. "-Zion'S Herald

Danger of Colds and Grip

The greatest danger from colds and grip is
their resulting in pneumonia. IT reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlaln's
Cough Remedy taken, ali danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy tor these diseases we
have yet to learn of a single case having
suited in pneumol ia. which shows conclu-
sively that i is certain preventive of that
dangerous dis ease. It will cure a cold or an
attack of the grip in less timethan any other
treatment. 1t is pleasar and safe to take.

REPUBLICANS MUST EXPLAIN.

The disturbed condition of business
outside of Walla street. must be faced
by the republicans in the coming pres
idential campaign. With complete
control of all forces of the govern
ment, with high tariff protection that
they have always claimed is a guar

bursting, the mills are closing or
shortening their time and notices are
given of reduction of wages.
When a like disturbance of business
existed in 1898, they placed the blame
a tariff bill to reduce the tariff
Now there is no fear of tariff reduc-

commission at its state convention
next year He is going to deny
every republican the privilege of

his exclusive property. He hugs
it to his bosom with all his might

In fact, he has nothing else what

has made such a hobby of this,
for the obvious reason that he was
endeavoring to push himself to

THE MAN WITHOUT A HEART.

1t appears from the statement of a
practices of devilish cruelty there are
citizens of that town who can discount
the most heatless bigot or bloodthirs-
ty savage that the world knows any
thing about, says the Portland Tele-
gram. The torture they infiict is not
the result of passion, or hatred, but
is instigated through compliance with
trade requirements which they as
sumo will bring a few dollars to their
eXcheQuer. Oakland is famed as a
turkey metropolis. 1t is said that du-
ring the present season 1000 birds
have been shipped to barket from
that place. 1t is in connection With
the killing and dressing of these fowls
that acts of cruelty which would fair
ly shame the devil have come to light.
Following is the statement of the resi-
dent referred to as to the process of
killing and dressing:
The bird is stuck or bled in the
mouth, and as soon as this is done
it up by the feet, and then goes to
picking, and this seems to be the
most terrible torture, for the bird
seems not to heed the operation of
sticking, or the very slow loss of blood
which is a protracted dribble, but
protests with a most piteous Shrek
as each handful of feathers is jerked
out of his body, and when the picker
pulls out the wing feathers, which he
does first, he frequently pulls the
wings out of joint, and the frantic
struggles of the tortured bird you may
imagine; but that plaintive, piteous
shrek of pain you must hear to ap-
preciate. l was told by a picker to-
night that a few days ago he saw a
turkey picked clean and handed over
to the boss, who received it and COVE
a check for it, and the bird escaped
from him and ran some distance and
was caught and then killed, and any
one who desires can see live turkeys
hanging on the racks"
1t is beyond the human camprehen-
sion how any man, or set of men, with
hearts in their anatomy or blood in
their veins can be guilty of such re-
fined diaboism. Practices of this
internal stripe and the men who in
dulge in them are a disgrace to any
community. A man who has in his
makeup no spark of sympathy for
such excruciating suffering as that to
which these Oakland turkeys are sub
jected, whether it be inflicted upon
dumb brute creation or on human kind
are not desirable members of any So
ciety that exists outside Of a peniten-
tiary. Upon prOvocation men Of
such satanic temperament could east
ly become dangerous. A man who can
look with perfect equanimity upon the
torture Of any living thing when there
is absolutely no justification for the
wickedness involved, is to be Stunned,
as one would shun the plague He is
simply a man without a heart, and
the extent of his devilishness is only
to be gagged by circumstances and
opportunity.

rapacity of these money changers and
an economic system which not only
makes such outrages possible but ac-
tually invites them is fostered by a
party kept in power by ballot pollu-
ton and debauching the citizenship OF
the country. The stand pat politi-
clans who hope for other opportu-
mites to despoil in the same way are
exerting all their power to maintain
the tariff schedules which breed thai
kind of legalized robbery and the de-
luded people are making their plans
certain of fulfllment. But change
may come over the spirit of their
dreams before the next election.
