LICENSE LAW.

® D. WILLETT ON TEMPERANCE. Remarks on the Bill which passed P the House. L

-As a representive of Noble county, 1 deem it prudent to make a few remarks upon the general principles and provisions of this bill. In'se deing I ‘am fully aware of my inability to do the subject that justice which its importance and magnitude demands, yet with the legislative enactments of al--most every State before us and witha full knowledge of the practical workings of those laws for the last twenty or thirty years it would seem that the road to a judicious liquor law ought ‘to be easily found. -One of the greatest obstacles standing in. the way of correct legislation on this subject is the impracticable views of extremists on both sides of the question, the one elass believing that the free and unrestrainéd use of whisky and milk are. alike beneficial to society, while another class believe that nothing short of _ absolute prohibition should be thought of or tolerated. I think, sir, that experience, the best of teachers, has - fully demonstrated the impraecticability of these views, even in the land of the puritans, where God and morality ideas do most abound, prohibition has - proven a disastrous failure, and" even “to-day the axles of the hub of the uni- * verse are greased with as poor whisky -as they have everywhere else, and here in our own State of' Indiana, in the “face of the stringent law of 1873, we have witnessed scarcely a perceptible - dimuniticx in the sale of intoxicating ‘liquors during the past year, yet our people are not habitual "law-breakers, but educated as they are from childhood upward, with-the broadest ideas of personal liberty, they are, by /the - force and effort of theig, education, to a greater or less extent, hostile to all .sumptuary laws, and nothing but the well known and terrible evils resulting from the unrestrained sale of in- - toxieating liquors causes our people te demand o 1 even acquiesce in this class of legislation; but laying aside the views of extremists who are

. 2 FORTUNATELY A MINORITY . of ‘the people, 1 ‘believe the thinking men-and women of the State, of all parties, sects and creeds; demand at our hands the passage of the best law on this subject that we are capable of enacting. While there are, doubtless, some good provisions in the law of "13 as a whole, it has not proved asuccess. In the first place there is too much of it; it is'too complicated and complex to be pither understood or obeyed by the people. Some of its sections have already been profounced ‘unconstitutional, while in other secHOonR - ey VO

CIVIL AND CRIMINAL REMEDIES

are so mixed and jumbled together that scarcely - two lawyers can be. found who give the same opinion upon its provisions. The people have eertainly a right to know clearly and. definitely what their rights and. liberties are. But, in my estimation, the erowning defect in this enactment is the fact that it brings no revenue to the State and we are forced to collect from the farmers and workshops from one to two hundred thousand dollars

which should be paid'by those who deal

in intoxicating liquors. -In this connection I do-not propose to ignore facts, that .in every State where intoxicating liquors are sold the experiences of administering the criminal laws are increased to a greater or less extent. Is it right that the tax payers.of the State should be called on to pay this extra expense? I think not. Ifiit is foolish to use intoxicasing liquors let those who use it pay. for their folly in the shape of a high license. The bill before the House provides for a large revenue and I trust it may not-be diminished a cent or even a mill. I am ‘aware it is subject to the imputation of creating a liquor monopoly ; ifsuch is" the- facs, let-the monopolists pay well for their privileges, and let their responsibilities be made co-extensive and commensiirate with their privile-

ges. - Our people are jealous of monopolies, and should they ever learn to Ibok upon the liquor traffic as a mon-

«gpoly, the penal provisions of this bill would not remain as dead matter on ‘the statutes of the State, but they would be ™ . . o

ENFORCED IN LETTER AND IN SPIRIT I desire to briefly call the attention of

the House to what I consider the most meritorious features of the bill: First, it provides that all intoxicating lig-

uors’ sold in this State shall be sold under sanction and by authority, of Jaw. Ifdt is wrong to drink intoxicating ‘liquors, the wrong should not be incrgased by our action. We: should not by unwise and impracticable legislation cause our people to degrade themselves .and " duplicate wrong: by ‘working in - ° Lope A

VIOLATION OF LAWS

only enacted te be violated with impunity. Experience demonstrates that we may putour laws upon papers, but they derive their vitality from the ‘will-of the people; we should. have no dead laws; the tendency of this bill is to decrease the number of places where intoxicating liquors are sold, and to improve their character and respectability by giving their proprietors legal protection against the competition of wicious and irresponsible dealers, and from this class of dealers have emenated three-fourths of all the evils which have resulted from the liquor traffic. I believe the high licenses and heavy bonds provided for in this tends to exclude this class of persons from any participation in the liquor traffic. In a word the whole tendency of the bill is to decrease the number and improve the respectabili-

. ty of those who deal in intoxicating . liquors. I am aware, sir, that extrem_ists are disposed to ridicule the term respectable, when thus applied to any dealer in intoxicating liquors. To such I would reply that I do not suppose that the social evil is licensed or regulated in any of the great cities of -the civilized world on account of its * superior frespectability or morality, but rather to mitigate the horrors of an evil that can not be suppressed by - Jaw. For a like -reason I would li--cense and regulate the sale of intoxieating liquors, not to prevent its use .but its abuse. I do not ‘flatter myself th(?t this bill will meet the approbation of either prohibitionists or free “.traders in liguors. _ ; “ THE LICENSE CLAUSE will not suit the one class, and its stringent penal provisions will not suit the other; the one class are. wed- . ded to their vices, the other to their - follies, hence I neither expect or desire their co-operation; but 1 do desire the i : ' CO-OPERATION OF PRACTICAL MEN, who honestly wish to curtail the evils : ;‘eau%lﬁnz' tr(m:l thlfo sale of inttg?c‘?: ~ ing liguors, and who propose fo legis- - late for humanity as it is, without regard to what we might wish it to be and here permit mo tor&mark,-bﬂ;:f - any law we may pass on this subjec will remain & dead letter on the state, Vil s e ol oo ‘businees of verybody in general, of o ome. i girtieniat, ¢o sve that

afford to compete “with unlicensed dealers, but by the highest motives, that of self interest, we should find them moving as a unit to suppress every kind of illegal traffic, and, sir, I believe an ounce of self interest «s worth a ton of. clieap nonsense in executing a liquor law. Legalized dealers being thus forced into the attitude of prosecutors, they will be compelled to do it with clean- hands orin turn suffer at the hands of those they have prosecuted, and in this manner under the provisions of this bill, I think the muddy: waters ‘of the liquor traffic may be purified by the friction of the currents and cournter currents the bill engenders. ~So, Mr, Speaker, entertaining those -views, I shall vote for this bill. . - ; S

Beecher’s Probable Defense.

- The Brooklyn correspondent of the Chicago T'ribune is permitted;“by authority,” to foreshadow the lane of defense selectcd by Mr. Beecher’s counsel. Briefly, they have abandoned. the blackmail theory and will admit that Beecher committed- a wrong against Tilton, but not a crime. Beecher himself will testify, and the defense will proceed on thisline, that as Mr. and . Mrs.. Tilton gradually became estranged, owing to the former’s egotism and selfishness,” the’ pastor and the wife imperceptibly drew nearer to each. She was proud of his friendship and he of her trust. Drifting away from her husband, she found something like g.secure resting place in the confidence and affection of the great preacher, while he innocently encouraged the growth of this feeling by consulting with her about his plans, reading his works to her, asking and often adopting’ her adviece. Unconsciously on her part, this sentiment lapsed from one of Platonism to one of passion, and Mr. Beecher discovered that Tilton’s wife wasin love with him. Still he continued to bask in the pleasant warmth of the little woman’s smiles, and when she asked his advice as to what.course she ought to pursue towards the husband she no longer loved, he advised a separation. This was the wrong he did, and thus he unwittingly and innocently work‘ed the destruction of Tilton’s house'hold. 'With. this frank _confession, duly expanded and elaborated by ingenious counsel, the defendant will throw himself on the mercy of the jury. - . . -

Pied Suddenly of Heart Disease.

. How common is the announcement. Thousands are suddenly swept .into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood filled with irritating, poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only slight, producing a little palpitation of irregular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening “wmembrane or of the valves, is prodiiced. How wise to give early attention to a case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that all is not right, and if you would preserve it - from further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by. the use of such a remedy as will remove the cause of thetrouble. Use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and -it will, by its great blood purifying -and wonderful regulating properties, effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal -properties which act specifically upon the tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy action. Sold by all first-class Druggists.

HEART DISEASE CURED.

. Rockrorr, Spencer Co., Ind., Feb. Ist, 1874 DX R. V. PiegroE, Buffalo, N, Y.: 5

~ About two years ago I was afflicted with a disease of the heart, which at times created a pressure around it, almost causing suffoeation. - I saw an advertisement of your. Golden : Medical Discovery; recommending the same as a cure for disease of the heart. I then bought half a dozen bottles of it, and after using three bottles I was entirely relieved and: am ‘now enjoying good health. Gratefully yours, : Taboai ViTtus KILLIAN.

- A SINGULAR case of vindictive cruelty is recorded in Illinois. Near Canton, in that -State, lives a wealthy farmer namt;% Coleman, who is noted for his ' morosé and revengeful temper. About ten years ago one of his colts offended him very' seriously, and he determined- on a singular revenge, namely, imprisonment for' life. . Accordingly the -farmer built a small pen, about ten by twelve feet, thatched it with straw, and thrust the colt into it. The animal was fed regularly and sufficiently, but never left that pen. Through want of exercise his frame became ‘destroyed, his legs thin and crooked, while the poor brute’s skin bung - loosely on his shriveled body. His front hoofs grew to the length of eighteen . inches, turning upward, while his hind hoofs wore away nearly to the first joint. ‘And thus this unoffending dumb brute. was kept in close confinement by his inhuman master for the space of ten years, until death recenfly put an end to its sufferings. The case was brought to the attention .of the. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Coleman has been - arrested, and it is to be hoped will be punished for his cruelty. hos ~ :

- . HoN. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS de‘livered a lecture in Boston a few -nights ago on “Railway . Construction ' Mania,”, in which he {)resented some ‘interesting points relative to those manias for railroad building which have prevailed at different times in both England and the United States. He traced many of the financial and economic disturbances of both countries to the overdoing of this business, and to the enormous debts created thereby. The period of greatest ma‘nia in this country was from 1868 to 1873, and, in his opinion, its influence and effects were not yet fully appreciated. Mr. Adams stated that the ‘mania set in with 1868 and lasted about five years, during which railroad construction jumped from 3,000 to - 000, and then to 8,000 miles a year.— The States of Michigan, Kansas and Illinois were taken as illustrations of the effect of the mania. In Michigan 1,000 miles were built in twenty-eight years, and then 1,700 miles in the next four years. In that State thirteen roads now failed to earn their interest by the sum of $2,700,000. In Illinois during .eleven years between 1857-68 ‘the construction averaged eighty-five miles a year; in the next five years it averaged 664 miles. Of the 3,300 miles of roads built in those years, not 300 were apparently profitable. But Kan--Bas afforded the most extraordinary illustration of the fury of the mania. ‘With 430,000 people only, it had more miles of railroad by a third than Massachusetts, and none of it was prosperous. The lecture closed with an’ expression of the belief that the Granger was the best friend the holders of railroad securities had,.as he was doing more than anything else to stop further railroad eonstruction, " If that ‘was stopped, according to all previous “pﬁoe‘, in about four years” more the country would ‘grow up td its &: resent railroad system, and ﬁ'wmﬂd become healthy and profitable. Perbaps this is the Granger’s true mission. e ewe ﬂﬂtﬁm ne for blacksmiths,

; L ARHANSAS, Spi (From the Indianspolis Journal, Feb. 9.) The President yesterday sent to the 2enate a special message on Arkansas ffairs, in which he took strong ground against the present State government, which he holds to be illegal and revolutionary, and in favor of Brooks, whom he considers to have been fairly and legally elected in 1872, The message will excite the more surprise since it is in direct conflict with the report of the special committee on Arkansas affairs, who are of opinion that the present government represents a majority of the legal voters, and should not be intexfered with.

Briefly, the situation is this: In 1872 Brooks and Baxter were opposing candidates for Governor in Arkansas; the former as a’Democrat and the latter as a Republican. Baxter was declared e%fjcted and was duly installed, thpugh his election was undoubtedly tainted by fraud. In the course of time Baxter found it to his interest to join the Democracy, and Brooks werit over to the Republicans. Then an effort was made by the Republieans, headed by Brooks and the two ‘Arkansas Senators, to depose, Baxter and install Brooks, who fully expected to have the support of the President: There. was an armed collision and _bloodsh‘e}d.. In this contest the Journal steadily advocated the claim of Baxter as the de facto Governor and opposed the course of Brooks as lawless and revolutionary. This view was finally taken by the President, who recognized Baxter and ordered Brooks and his followers to disperse. Thus peace was restored for a time Further along a Constitutional Convention was called, and a Constitution adopted, which provided for a State election to be held in Octoberlast. At this election Garland (Democrat) was elected by a very large majority, Republicans generally declining to vote ‘on the ground that the whole proceeding was illegal. - But Govermnor Baxter recognized the validity of Garland’s election’ and resigned. Then Lieutenant-Governor Smith,’ who had been elected on the same ticket with Baxter, claimed to be Governor by virtue of Baxter’s resignation, vut he was soon put down and Garland was peaceably installed, and has since been recognized as the de facto Governor. The President now advises Congress to review all the proceedings of the last two years, to depose Garland and install Brooks by virtue of the election of 1872. He is not a rash man, and his recommendation is’ doubtless based on what seem to him sound and patriotic reasons. But with our present light we are constrained to differ with him in this case. We cannot think that the course recommended .by the President would be either wise or judicious. Inouwr opinion the continued recognition of Garland, the present Democratic Governor, is a safer, wiser and more manly policy, and furnishes a much better guaranty for the future peace of the. State. His election may have been attended by irregularities, or-even tainted by fraud; it cannot be more so than Baxter’s -was, two years ago. He undoubtedly represents a majority of the voters in Arkansas. Ie is the de facto Governor, and has been recognized as such for several months.— Brooks has shown himself to be a pestilent agitator, without political convictions. and willing to serve under any banner that may afford an op- - portunity for plunder. Congress should lose no fime in giving.him to understand that he need expect no recognition or encouragement from that body.

Where the Su;pin}s _Bankin:: gapi L3N tal Is.

The effect of the free banking clause of the new law has been thus far just what it was predicted it would be—namely, to increase the bank capital and circulation of Eastern States. It appears that from Maine applications have been made for charters for two new banks with a capital of $150,000, and for an increase of $300,000 capital for old banks. Old banks in Vermont petition for $150,000 more capital.— Two new banks are asked for in, Massachusetts, with capital of $200,000 in the aggregate; old banks ask for $150,000 more capital; and other old banks ask for 1,300,000 more’ circulation on capital already paid in. Two new banks in Connecticut ask for $200,000 capital; the applications for increase of capital from the same State amount to $355,000; and the old banks ask for $300,000 increase of circulation on capital already paid in. Here is an :%{gregate ‘increase of $3,105,000 for New England out of a total for the whole, country. of $5,731,000—m0re ‘than one half. - In the Western and Southern States the aggregate applications are but $550,000, and during the ‘'same time the banks.of the four States of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri have surrendered $702,800 of their circulation. Thus the entire increase of circulation goes to the States where there has been the excess so loudly complained of by Western politicians of the soft money stripe. — Boston Advertiser. . :

Regularity Brings Vigor.

.. Local irregularities -produce weak'ness of the entire system. In order, therefore, to re-establish health and strength upon a sure basis, these irregularities must be. permanently overcome. Many persons endeavor to reform them by:remedies which address themselves {merely to the symptoms, without affecting the cause. If such individuals were to use instead Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they wo'd speedily app’feci‘a,t‘e the difference between a medicine which palliates, and one which entirely removes physical disability.. That prime regulator of bodily disturbances restores the derelict organs to an uninterrupted and healthy performance of their various duties, whereby alone the system can recover its lost tone and vigor. .Hostetter’s Bitters are a tonic medicine, but they are a tonic which regulates ere they strengthen the system. 41-w4.
