This Months Important Election.

Before another issue of the Democrat
is on the press, the people of Maine will
be voting in the special election. There
are four questions to be voted upon, OF
VARYING degrees of importance. Even
the less important ones should receive
the careful consideration OF tho voter.
The one great issue, the Importance oil
which has overshadowed the other ques-
tions, is the question whether the pro-
hibitory amendment TO the constitution
shall be repealed. There is no need
here and now of summarizing or repeat
ing any of the arguments pro and con on
this question. Rarely has a question be-
fore the people been so thoroughly pre-
sented in all its phases.
1t is true the advocates OF repeal have
done very little in the line OF public
meetings, but their newspapers, though
only few in number, have labored un-
ceasingly and strenuously, and their
literature has been distributed over the
state with a lavish hand, indicating the
existence of plenty of funds for the
campaign. Many forces, including the
larger part of the newspapers OF the
state, the churches, the Grange, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
and other reform organizations, within
and without the state, have done valiant
service in opposition to repeal.
The result Of this vote can not but be
OF great importance, particularly to the
people of Maine, but elsewhere as we'll.
This paper has never believed In the
repeal of the prohibitory amendment,
and the discussion of the matter
throughout the campaign, with all the
light that could be brought to bear on il
from all sides, has but served to make
stronger the conviction that the best
interests of the state call upon US to
vote No on this important question. -.
Let the voters get out, and there will
be no trouble about the result.

Green wood.

The potato bug war, like the Aroos-
took war, was finally ended without the
shedding OF blood, although for more
than month 1t was fought tout on this
line" as never before. The poisoned
ashes would kill the present crop, but
another crop would soon hatch out
which required the same work to be
done over again. After all, barring its
depredations, the potato bug in its
beetle state, especially when seen
through microscope, is rather an inter
esting specimen of entomology. Unlike
the little striped squash bug 1t never
flies on the approach of an enemy, in
deed we have seen but one on the wing
during the past season, and not more
than half dozen in the thirty odd years
of our business with them. So much in
brief for the potato bug or beetle, while
report says the potato crop is destined
to be light about here at least, and the
rust has already appeared in places.
