TIVE GREAT CHANGE IN MAINE.

" r is unfortunate that The outcome of The Maine election is IA
margin of majority so close that a recount is necessary. An
issue of such a character should be settled by a popular yer
diet so conclusive that there could be no question about 1t. The
result shows, however. the great change thar has been wrought IN
the popular sentiment in Maine. Twenty years ago a proposition
TO repeal the prohibitory clause in the State Constitution would
have been voted down by at least a twothirds vote. No public
man who valued popularity would have stood for repeal and there
Nonld have been social and religious ostracism for him. In Texas
during The recent prohibition campaign the governor of the State
was publicly read out of his church by his bishop because he
opposed prohibition. That spirit existed throughout Maine until
recently Ii still fingers in rural communities, but it has ceased
to rule HE State. The great change is in the cities and towns.
Maine receives thousands of summer visitors who bring their ideas
with Them. and hundreds of Maine residents travel in other States
and abroad aud imbbe new ideas. So the change of sentiment
began in The clubs and homes in the shape of violations of the law.
Then the speak pasics began to multiply and finally liquor came to
be sold almost openly in the cities. These things denoted change.
Then the desire for the abolition of the prohibition assumed the
shape of appeals 10 The Legislature and of te political agitation
which eycntuated in he act Of Legislature an Nolizing the election
last Monday.

That the Walsh act has been turned

fact that the voters most naturally re

The lack of interest in the registra-

though the company should appeal 10 the courts. II Is not given ia
either AN individual or Il private corporation III THIS state 10 hoa

ulaced unon tbe commissions order, for it is explicit in its terms.
II means that the company must carry the passenger TO MS desif

. matter of detail whether this is done by one transfer or by more.
that is for the company to work out and it cannot affect the

REASONS BY THE SUGAR TRUST.

OTIS HE sugar trust comes out with a statement of reasons 1of
the extraordinary advances made in the price OF sugar TO the
consumer. The trnst blames the shortness of the Cuban
sugar crop and The alleged threatened shortage in the beet sugar
rrop of Europe. Consumers are not in Il position 10 eohirHuee
these reasons. but il will require much corroooIatlVe loehe
tn make them believe a sugar trust statement where trust interests
er involved. The meat trust always has had reasons for BOOST
ing prices. It cited a shortness in the cattle supply when tue
Western ranges were swarming with cattle. II took advantage
of eve real or imaginary shortness in the fodder crop. The con
sumner can be fooled. but he cant be fooled all the time. sugar
prices are nov higher than they were in the last twenty two years
and the sugar trust fixes the price.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

AT least six of the eight Italian inn
migrants who are detained in Port
land by the United States immigra-
tion officials will be deported and will
leave Saturday on the steamship
Cairnrona for London. Four of the de-
tanned Italians have criminal records,
while two We're unable to show penal
certificates or passports from their
native land. On Italian who arrived in
the Cairnrona is at the Maine General
hospital suffering from pneumonia and
he will be detained until he is able to
be examined by the immigration otti-
GERS. Another Italian is suspected of
having trachoma, and he will be al
lowed to remain for a few days. as
the doctors want to make sure before
allowing the man to land or before Or
dering him to be deported. Agelo Bon
fitto. the Italian who encouraged the
other detained immigrants to make
an attempt to escape from the deten-
tion building on the Grand Trunk
docks a few nights ago, will be sent
back to Italy, and it is probable that
five other Italians now confined at the
county Jail at Portland will also re-
ceive free ride back home.
