?IB! 1 PROHIBITION POINTS. ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW IN MAINE. Drinking Dlminlafced?Y?ry Strong Test! Eionj to This Eftsct Cited by a Sozitli Carolina Prohibitionist. To the Editor of The Register: My attention has been called to your editorial of October 29 criticising the enforcement of the prohibitory law of Maine, basing your commerts on the case of the small town of Calais, on the St. Croix river, which is the bnun dary line between Maine and New Brunswick, and would naturally seem to be a very suitable place !cr the whiskey dealers to select from which fn rortdiififc their lawless assaults upon the laws of Maine. It is alleged that there aie places of illicit traffic in.'this small town, which the efforts of the leaguers (prohibitionists) are being put forth to suppress, a:nd this is your text from which to proclaim that 4 'Prohibition doesn't prohibit." Admitting, for the time, the truth of the statement respecting this town of Calais, let us see he w it affects the real question at issue, which is: Does the prohibition of the liquor traffic in Maine diminish drinking, and increase the prosperity and happiness of the people who live under its opera tion? No intelligent advocate of prohibition would contend that it ever did or ever can annihilate the traffic and the r\ ; ? zi. t ^ results fl JWICg irum il, iur iis 1UUK aa there are men bent on the indulgence of theirapp9ti:es. there will be found men who wil] assume the risk of violating any Jaw which prohibits these'indulgercss Ail that should be reasonably claimed for such laws is that they diminish crime and wrong, improve the morals and promote the prosperity and nappiness of the peo pie to a degree which proves that they are desirable as a pirt of the system of laws of every community which se?ks to make progress ia civiliz nion That prohibition really tfftcts this result isbeyord question ii the testimony of those wno are ir. the best position to know, is to be received. and it is to some pDit.te-1 testimony or this character that I -vish refer you arid your readers. T_:e difficulty I ex* perience is in condensing from the vast Volume of testimony on ttrs subject, without transcending the limits of an article like this. SOilE STRONG TESTIMONY. First, tbe governors of Maine, for ? more than a quarter of a century have, without exception, borne wit ness to the decrease in tne consumption of liquor and the diminution of crime and other evils filing: trom drink, as well as to the material improvement of the people of that state under prohibition. Governor Chamberlain (1872) says: "The (prohibition) la*- is as well executed in the state as any other criminal law" Governor Perham (1S72) says: ';I think it safe to say that the volume of the liquet trade is very much less than before the enactment of the law, probably not more than one tenth as large." Governor Dingley (1874) says: "In mnw* than fnnvt.hc r?f thft sfatft. particularly in the rural sections, open dram shops are almost unknown and secret sales are comparatively rare." Governor Conner (1876) says: *'Maine has a fixed conclusion on this subject. Governpr Itobie (1883; s: 1 'Criminal statistics show that the law has been beneficial in restraining crime." Governor Bod well (1887) says: "In from three fourths to four fifths of the towns of the state the law is well enforced and has practically abolished the sale of spirituous and malt liquors as beverages." Governor Marble (18SS) says: ''Prohibition has closed every distillery and brewery in Maine. The law has greatly diminished the sale and use of intoxicating liquors." Hon. Jas. GL Blaine, whose testimony as that of an astute politician, should have great weight, said in (18$2: "Intemperance has steadily decreased in Maine since the first enactment of the prohibitory law, until now it can be said with truth, that there is no equal number of people in the anglo saxon world, among whom so small an amount of intoxicating liquor is consumed as among the in habitants of Maine." Senator Wm. P. Frv ilS90) savs: "Today the country portions of the state are absolutely free from the sales of liquor. Poverty is comparatively unknown, and in some of the counties the jails have been without occupants for years at a time. The law is not a failure, it has been on the other hand a wonderful success." Senator Hale (1890) says: "The Maine people believe in prohibition because they are every day witnesses to its good effects " President William W. Hyde of Bowdoin college says: "We believe r? ill It pIVJLUU1 \,IVU J, 1\JL' UUISCiVCO, aiiU. we wish that wherever conditions similar to those in our own state exists, those states may experience its benefits." Hannibal Hamlin ex-vice president of the United States, says: "In the great good produced by the prohibitory liquor law of Maine, no man can doubt who has seen the results. It has been of immense value " And the late Gen. Neal Dow, father of the prohibition movement and au -Li _ e ir.:. i t LQor oi me maine law, iii a repun made to tbe royal commission on the liquor traffic in Montreal, bore this testimony to the conditions past ana existing in Maine: " "I suppose there was no sUte in the Union where more liquor was com sumed in proportion to the population than in Maine. That arose very largely from the fact of two great industries being carried on there?one being tbe lumber trade, and tee other the fisheries. The lumbermen were empio;. ed in the woods daring winter cutting UUWil>' IAJ.O ixcco, O.U.U. uiiuii. iui'uvu a egular part of their rations, and fishermen had it as a regular part of their rations. The results were that poverty and pauperism were with the people of Maine. There were a great many distilleries in the state, seven of them were in Portland, and twu breweries. * * * Now there is not a distillery-or Srewerv'in Maine, and there has not been one for a gcod many years. * * * The result of the change has been this, that while Maine was undoubtedly one of-the poorest states in the Union in the olden time, it is now one of the most prosperous. The volume of the liquor traffic is greatly reduced. The savings of the people from that traffic are 871/rh 'that the state has become verv flourishing. > * * It is quite safe to say that the quantity of liquor sold in Maine now is not one twentieth as much as it was before the law was passed.'-' .* * Portland is the largest city in the state, and it is within the truth to say that the quantity of liquor sold there now is not one hundredth of what it was before. * * * The liquer-traSic- is notentirely excluded from Maine but it "is safe to say that in more that three-fourths of the territory, containing: more than three founts of the population, the liquor traiEc is practicaliy extinguished THE OFFICIAL RECORDS, These ia.c-s ana conclusions, state ij / by witnesses so eminently qualified, are confirmed by the records, so far as they are accessible. The United States internal revenue reports tor Maine from 1363 to 18S7, show tbat there vras a decrease from $514,636 23 to $30,285 45 revenue on liquors and tobacco. Since that time the revenue district o' Maine has been consolidated *ith New Hampshire and separate statements of revenue for Maine have teen dropped from the reports. nr* _ t By reference to me same omciai statement, it will be sees that the total receipts of internal revenue from the whole United States for the same period, have increased from $41,003 63 to $118;S37.Ct5. This shows that the failing oit' in Maine was due to prohi bition and that the enormous increase in all other parts of the country was because there was no general prohibition operating to effect such decrease. If we examine the effects of prohibition on the material interests of the people, we find the following facts re corded. Hon. James Gr. Blaine s3ys: lo reviewing the situation for twenty five years that, "in 1857 Maine had eleven savings banks with 5,000 depositors and an aggregate of over $900,000 it) deposits. In 1SS2 these had increased to 55 savings banks, nearly 90 000 de positorsand about $30,000,000 deposits. The population of the state for that period had increased at the rate of 3 1 2 per cent, while the savings de posits had increased at the rate of more than 2.700 per cent., 3nd the 1 r j ^ l 1 numosr uj utrujaituis lii'jxc mau x, 700 par cent Compare this statement of financial prosperity with the conditions of Ohio, one of the most progressiva of the license spates, and what a shewing it makts in favor of prohibition. The population of Maine in 1896 was 661.086 that of 0 iio was 3,672, 316, or 5? hs many as that of Maiue, wail*1 t^e savings deposits of Mai'-.e are $53 397,530 and of Oaio $34,606 213, showing that though less 15 in number, the people of Maine have more than half as much more laid up in savings banks than the people of Ohio. Ia this connection, taku one more fact into consideration: that while twea'y aiae states have more population than Maine, omy seven surp^s ner m iuc segregate of saving? banks deposits; aid then say whether jiquor selling is the fiiend or foe of the li^acci&l prosperity of those who work for a living. So much for the effects of prohibi lion on th^ gueral pros?.eritv of the people. Wnat as to i:s effects on crime? EFFECTS ON CRIME. Frcm reports of wardens of state prisons. it appears that during the years lSoo-56, under prohibition in Maine, there was a total of G5 commitments for crime; during 1S57 58. two vears of license, there wen* 121 commitments. and during 1859 60, when prohibition was restored, the number fell to 89, showing the positive and direct influence of prohioiuon in the diminution of crime. As to crime in Main* compared with other states, in 1S8^ Governor Dingley made the folio firing state mest: ' Of high crime, California has one criminal to every 1,000 of nopulaticc, Connecticut, i to 3,509; New Jersey, 1 to 3.200; New York, 1 to 2.800, and Maine, 1 to 7,540." He also showed that Maine had a less number of convicts, proportionally, of all classes, and a les3 number of high criminals than any state in the Union. Take the more recent facts relating to crime, and it is shown by the official report of the attorney general to the legislature of South Carolina in 1S96, that during 1S94, ten homicides occurred in the whole state of Maine, whiie in South Carolina, with about the same white population, the report shows that 207 homicides in fourteen months was the dreadful record. What constitutes the reason for this wide difference? Every reflecting man must be convinced thai it is in the fact that in Maine the prohibition of the grsat producing source of crime has reduced the results to a minimum, while in South Carolina the absence of prohibition has failed to check the stream of crime, for the cumulative testimony gathered from all sources has established beyond successful con troversy that three fourths of all crime amon? us has its source in strong drink, and tbe result is reached irresractive of the system by which it is dispensed. MAINE PEOPLE SATISFIED. Are the people of Maine satisfied that prohibition prohibits? This can only be answered by the people as ex pressed in their vote on the question. The first vote on the question was , taked in 1S54 when the people by a ( vote of 28 864 to 5,912, adopted prohi bition. Thirty years after, in 1895, on the question of making prohibition < an amendment to the constitution of : Maine, the people a^ain declared in its favor by a vote of 70,783 to 23,801, j; a maioritv of nearly 47.000. Let these facts be the sufficient an swer to all that class of objectors to s prohibition, who, in th<" absence of i reasons, proclaim so slibly that "Pro hibition don't prohibit," and that i "more liqaor is drunk and is easier to get in Maine than in license states." If prohibition does not injure the < liquor traffic, why is it that the liquor : men fi?ht it so bitterly ? The conclusion of the whole matter, < then, with these who are sincerely seeking truth, is th's: If prohibition ' diminishes crime, pauperism and suffering and increases the prosperity < anr? hanninftss of the. nsnn'p to what ever extent it does this, it is more de sirable thaa any system which fails to * do it, and is therefore more worthy of . acceptance. As some one has said: ' If prohibition does not succeed, drunkard mak ing may be lawfully endorsed. If law ' breaker defy and violate the law. ( then to prevent the violation, the law should be set aside and the crime ( legaliz:d, then the amount of viola tion is to determine tae life of the law. A premium is thus sat for a , greater decree of violation " L. D. Guilds.

A special from Morgan, Texas,savs: In March last m the columcs of The Post was noted the death of Jcs E Alanther, alias Forbes, who suicided in the Meridian jail in this county, on March 2. Triough escaping the keen vigilance of the most famous detectives of the country. Bosque county was the icene of the ending of his eventful career. But developments of the p?st few d?.js bring to li?bt even a more startling crime of which he is self confessed than was the murder of Mrs. L'.dnfcldtjor which he was hunted. "While Blanther was incarcerated in the Meridian jail there was also a fellow-prisoner named Pitts, who was arrested on some minor charge and occupied the cell adjoining that of Bianther. Pitts is a farmer, who now lives near Iredell, in this county, and is kco^n to have conversed with Bianther during his two or three days1 confinement. In a letter to Word, Diliard & Word, attorneys of Meridian, under date of Nov. 22.

Tae letter written by Bianther was compared with a letter written by him to County Treasurer Rmdal while he (Blanlher) was leashing school at Kopptidl, this county, and the identification is pronouuced to be beyond doubt. Cashier Rudasill of the First National Bank of Merdian, says it compares favorably with Blanther's honri jnritinor while others have hesi tancy in pronouncing the last written by Bianther. The original written confession is cow in the possession of vVord, Dillon &, Word of Meridian, who will at once notify the San Francisco officials of the startling confession. NOT CREDITED IX CALIFORNIA. In San Francisco no credence is placed by the au'horities in the alleged confession of Bianther or Forbes, made in the Meridian, Texas, jail that be murdered Blanche Lamont and J Minnie Williams, in addition to Mrs. Langfeldt. It is recalled, nowever, that at the time of the killing of Mrs. Lmgfeldt, about 18 months aero, the suggestion was advanced that Blanther had murdered all tiiree, it being claimed there were certain points of similarity in the three murders. At the time of the Langfeldt murder Durrant had already been in jail for a year and the police scouted the idea of any one but the prisoner having com mitted the crimes. The police are confident that the Emanuel church murderei is still alive and in San Qaenten prison. While recognizing tne possibility of error, the authorities are nevertheless convinced that they have the right man in the person of Darrant. Tke alleged confession of Blanther will probably prove a power of the weapon of defense in the hands n ~4,4rrrVin an fi]T7.

Brave Engineer Foiis Kobbers, A special from Dublin, Ttxas, says: the regular west bound passenger train on the Bio Grande came into that place at 3 10 o'clock today with more passengers than usual. When about three miles west, when rounding a curve into a deep cut, the engineer discovered the track to be onstructed by a pile of rock about three feet high. Tne engineer reversed his engine and suddeDiy stopped his train, and in an instant started to back to this city. As the train slowed up, four robbers surrounded the train and ordered all hands up but seeing the train moving backward, they opened fire on the engineer, who crouched behind the boil 2r to avoid their bullets, maay snois i ^ere fired, bit no one was hurt. Mr. 0. H. Weissinger, a traveliug man from Waco, who was a passenger, said that considerable excitement prevailed among the passengers. All made frantic tlfjrts to conceal th^ir valu abies.

Ha- ^ nrtt VA1Q/*A_ QT* A' 0a Sunday morning, for the first w' time in the history of the Cubsn war, _c rebel bullets sought the palace iu Hav- ^ ana, says a dispatch to the Herald from Havana The shots canr.e from Casa ,7(. Bisrca, six hundred yards across the entrance to the harbor, and while nobody was hurt, the palace with re lights wss a shinnicg rcarl: ana must ' have been hit. The Spanish author;- ^ ties attempt to make light of the af re fair, but at the same time a reporter ^ for La Luche, who wrote up" and attempted to publish facts in the case, ai! was arresif d and is still "incommu nicado." The attack on Cssa B'anca rj.( was made by Brigadier General Rafael CE deCa?denas and cO rebels. They en- lh tered the town shortly before midnight <oa on horseback, and at the end of four hours, each man Itd out of town a jaj horse with one extra he had appro- ^ priated, laden with clothing, provisoes, silver plate and considerable money. Before they left tbev fired two vol- . leys across "the harbor entrance at *u the palace, and then coolly retired to ce a friend's house inside the Spanish lines and took supper, previously or u1' dered. All this was under the guns *9 of the Cabanas and the Morro.

When they saw that the ar- ne ran^ements had failed, the rebels Pr went after Fumiero- He lied across the harbor and the rebels did not dare to follow. Then the rebels went to i Casa de Jos Frills, to the priests' th house, where they took blankets, sil* tei rer plate and money. This house is ilose to Moro castle.
