In other words, he is not a living example of the old saying that "the good die young or it may be that ho Is..not as good as ho seems.
Jsr the town of Leavenworth, In'problbltion Kansas, there are one hundred and eleven saloons, each one of which pays |60 per month, as a line, for the privilege of violating the state law. Still there area few people who in a state of blissful Ignorance Inquire: "Does prohibition prohibit?
THK rtfteen-year old son of Mrs. Af. E. Lease, the great Alliance advocate and Installs denunciator of Kansas, was arrested In Wichita this week on the ohargeof stealing a check and a gold watch. As Mrs. Lease' doesn't believe that reform should commence at home her work fsr the alliance will probably proceed with unabated vigor.
IN South Carolina dealers in pistols and pistol cartridges are compelled to pay a 1200 license. The law, however, does not prohibit a* man from loaning Ills gun, and probably the death rate -from fire arms will be no less in the
State in (he future than it him been in the past. A better law would be one 4P*king a penitentiary offense for a man to carry a deadly weapon, either concealed or in sight.
THK story that the colored people in various portions of the state are organising anti-Harrison clubs is most vigorously denied by the president's home organ. II there is no serious opposition among Indiana republicans to the renomination of the present occupant of the White House, it seems passing strange that his candidacy requires such persistent booming. on the part of the Mate organ.
TrtRfcR is talk *f a special session of the Illinois legislature to correct the blunders ef the last one, which were more numerous than the mistakes of Moses as portrayed by Col. Ingersoll. The Alliance holds the balanced power, and although they had only three votes they managed to work more mischief than did their brethren in Kansas with a dear majority in the lower house.
As exchange says: "It Is reported from London that Lord Londonderry, a heavy landowner, has com* to the conclusion that the away of Wi«b landlordism in Ireland la apjUiching the hour of lis dissolution and he has therefore concluded to sell his Irish estates to the tenants upon terms as Agreed upon by parties selected by both si dee. nil* 1* a philosophical conclusion for Londonderry to reach and also a most extraordinary one considering the general phlegmatic indifference of the class to which his lordship belongs aa to the orgeat need of immediate aetJoa toward a solution of the Isnd question which threatens the overthrew of English sovereignty." The Londonderry family, although torles and deaceodentaof ILord Castlenwgh. haa always been very liberal with its tenants, and If all Irish landlords had tbe aame reputation them
would be no trouble in Ireland to-day. Tbe Marquis owns a large estate in England, which includes the Durham collieries. His Irish estate is about 22,000 acres, and brings him $200,000 per annnrn. If he should sell out bis tenants will be the greatest losers by the change 1
HE clerical force of tbe censns bureau Is being discharged, and more tban a thousand men and women bare been deprived of employment. Although they knew that their employment would cease about this time very few were prepared for it, and many of them will have to be given assistance to reach home. Few of them can make a living in private life, so tbeir position is far from being an enviable.one.
THAT gigantic monopoly, thei Standard Oil company, is extending its arms until now it threatens to grasp all of Europe and crush out ail opposition. In Germany it has organized a company in which it holds tbe balance of power, ships its oii into German ports in tank steamers and controls the business of the country. The worst feature of the case is that the people say they are powerless to prevent the company from doing virtually as it pleases.
THE famous baccarat scandal has~assumed a new phase. Lord and Lady Brooke who figured very prominently in the case, have instructed their attorney to bring suit against all papers which printed paragraphs intimating tbat Lady Broooke spread the story which resulted in landing the case in court. Tbe titled pair doesn't seem to be satisfled with letting well enough alone, but there are some people who never seem to know when they have bad enough of anything. .,
Mns. NAVARRO, or Mary Anderson, is living a very quiet, life with her husband at Tunbridge Wells, England. Report says she has given up all her triumphs over the public for the sake of a domestic life with the man she loves. This story is in strange contrast with the one recently circulated tbat her married life is a failure. Her many admirers, while they would like to see her back on the stage again, hope that ber married life may contain nothing but joy for her..
IT IS reported that the harvest In Russia this year is the worst on lecord, and prices of cereals are rising rapidly. It is only a few weoka since there was talk of a combination in Enrope to keep American grain from their markets, but as.Russlais about the only competitor this country has, it is presumed that the demand upon tbe United States will be greater than ever this year, and tbat high prices will rule. The American farmer is stilt on top and the calamity shrieker will have nothing to shout about this year. r,
ANOTHER terrible railroad accident do our red yesterday morning on the New York, Lake Erie
A
Western road. While
the fast express bound for New York was standing in the depot at Ravenna, waitlug for orders, a dressed beef express train from Chicago crashed into it from the rear, telescoping a day coach on the rear of the train, killing nineteen passengers and badly injuring thirtyeight more. In due time the blame may be tlxed, but as is usual in such cases, the criminal carelessness will more then, likely go unpunished.
SIXTY delegates from tbe tin plate working districts in Wales are coming to this country on a tour of investigation, concerning which the London Times says: "Should the delegates report favorably on the prospects for tinplate workers in the United States, it IB not unlikely that there will be so large an exodus to America as to lead to a great portion of tbe trade hitherto monopolist by Wales being transferred to America. Hitherto tbe idea has been been tbat it is impossible to manufacture tin-plate in America, owing to atmospheric conditions, but tin-plate makers who accompanied tbe iron and steel institute delegates to America reported that there was nothing except the want of skilled labor to prevent the successful manufacture of tin-plate in America." Whether the delegates report favorably or not the fact remains that American agentsare In London buying the latest improvement in tin plate machines, and offering large wages to tin plate workers.

CONCKR&IXQ PROHIBITION
A strong effort is being made in Iowa to bring about the repeal of the prohibition iaw in that state. There is a wide difference of opinion as to its effect, some claiming that its principal cities owe their prosperity to the law, while it» enemies insist with equal vigor that their natural advantages have forced success In the cities In spite of the prohibitory law, and not by reason of It* The prohibitionists point with pride to Des Moines as a successful city without an open saloon* while the anti-prohlbl-Uonlsts exultlngly insist that the town named consumes five ear loads of beer every week, and has 300 places where liquors are sold. They fnrtber say that If these 390 saloons were paying $100,900 per year Into the city treasury, as in license day*, asd if the five car-loads of beer and other liquors that the people most and will have every week ware manufactured at home instead of being shipped in from aboard, with two great breweries and the largest distillery in the world standing idle, it is undeniable that Dft* Moines would be even more prosperous than it is to-day. Si cellar «mdteting stories also come from Mai ne and Kansas, and there is doubtless much truth told by both sides. Legislatures may make laws till doomsday against Ubta liquor traffic, and the people
V-IF'
TEKKE TT ATTTE SATURDAY EVEN*
at large may vote in favor of problbition in the constitution, but the fact still remains that as long as men want to drink whisky they willbeable to obtain it in spite of all the laws in Christendom. You can no more legislate a drunkard into a case of peculiar sobriety tban you can make a man agood christian in tho same way. A man can be reasoned into sobriety, but when force is used he will kick, and you have another illustration of leading a horse to the water, but being unable to'make him drink. The records of the collectors of internal revenue in the three prohibition states—Maine, Iowa, and Kansasshow that thousands of men hold government lict use to sell intoxicating liquors, and the police records of thasame states show that in the cities men are arrested on the streets for drunkenness. Of course these things show that prohibition doesn't prohibit. But at the same time the traffic must be carried on un der cover. It is true that in a few towns there arewide open saloons in at least two of tbe prohibition states, but tbe saloon is by no means common. IIP men drink tbey must p&rchase tbe liquor in a back door way and drink it on back door lots or in alleys. However, men who do not drink will not do this and are in no dan ger of contracting the habit. Where there are no open saloons boys Cannot frequent tbem and become topers before they are men, as very many do in this city. While prohibition does not prohibit, still it does much good. It may be that local option and high license would accqjmplish as much or more for morality, and contribute more to the support ofrtbestate, but that is another question. -$»
