OBEY THE LAWS!

The State of Massachusetts, has, for the sec
ond time, enacted ProhibitOry Liquor law
Henceforth, until that law be changed the
lawful sale of Alcoholic Liquors is restricted 10
their mechanical and medical uses; careful pro-
vision being made to have them sold in every
part of the State for such uses, and for no
others. He who sells them for any other Is a
law breaker, and liable to the penalties de-
nOunced against transgressors.
This act took effect July 1st and new
Governor, Senate and House of Representa-
tiyes will be chosen early in November, to
come into power January LIST. If Prohibition IS
Gas alleged) condemned by majority of the
voters, they will very soon be enabled to make
that truth manifest.
We appeal, then, to Massachusetts men of
all parties and of none TO insist that this law
be faithfully executed, not only where it Is
popular, but where it is presumed not to be-
Boston, for example, is presumed to be largely
hostile to Prohibition; and those who like
social glass" expect her to go heavily against
it next November. But, if all who may want
to sell or drink in Boston find impunity in so
doing, what will they care for the repeal Of
the lawP How much will they be moved by
the DrlNatlOnS OF inc THIRSTY hOulo VI w lIliaIo
town or Nantucket If we were in the Boston
liquor interest we should insist on the rigor-
GUS enforcement of the new act MS strenuously
as we now do. Gen. Grants suggestion that
every law should be strictly enforced, so that,
| if it be bad one, it may be proved such and
repealed, is directly in point. Let this act be
stringently enforced throughout, and the next
election will show exactly what the people
think of it.
We urge the Prohibtionists to enforce the
! law everywhere-in the worst slums of Boston
as thoroughly as on the breezy hills of Berk-
shire. Let the Liquor men realize that you are
earnest and vigilant, and they will stop
selling and devote their energies to the
Fall canvass. Let us have ut least three
months Of real Prohibition before November,
so that the People may vote intelligently on
what will then be the main ISSUE Nothing is
so calculated to discredt Prohibition as the
| spectacle of Lquor-sellng in full blast, in os-
tentatious defiance of Law. License has had a
fair trial in Massachusetts; now let Prohibition
| have the same.

redress the wrong And, when we apply to the
Legislature for protection from their Villalnies'
thew appeal to the Democratic members TO
stand by them in consideration of the thirty
or forty thousand fraudulent votes they poll
here in default of which, the party would go
under in the State. This appeal is needed;
still score or so of votes are often lacking;
and for these they nose out corrupt unprin-
cipled Republicans who will sell themselves and
betray their constituents at the lowest market
rates. Suppose the price of these averages
$4,000 each, or S2OOOOOin all, they can pay IL
out of such Tax-Levies as those OF 1869, ana
have enough left to go round.
The Legislature failed to do lce duty tniS
year; but, through the irmness of the Senate
the bill crowded through the Assembly by the
votes of twenty Republicans and some nity
Democrats (only two Democrats voting MOI was
cut down Three Millions of Dollars. 80 mucn
we saved by having our Tax Levies revised at
Albany had not the Assembly been corrupted
the bills would have passed as they orlglnaiiy

more. 1t seems to us that we cannot afford 10
dispense with any existing obstacles to Munich
nal robbery. What is needed is the cno,Io
benceforth of legislators who cannot DC oousn''

The most sensible arrangement which we
have vet seen for the Fourth of July is that
of little town in Massachusetts, which is to
have its procession at seven o'clock in the
morning. 1t may be patriotic to march four
or five miles under a grilling nOon-day lumi-
nary, with a chance of apoplexy, sun-stroke,
brain fever, OF other complaint inclined to be
fatal but other things being equal, it is quite
as well to live as to die for ones country, and
perhaps a little better We have always
thought it misfortune that $50 to speak, the
Fourth of July did not come in December
There would have been quite as much enjoy
ment of the day, with much less perspiration,
and the anniversary might even have acquired
the genial and domestic moderation of Christ

Andy johnson having come all the way from
Tennessee to Washington just to inform the
astonished public that the national debt is
" corroding and eating into the vitals of the
Country" would have been told, if he had
only called before making his speech upon
the Secretary of the Treasury, that this cor
"roding and eating" debt has been reduced
$16,OOOOOO during the last month. In the opln-
ion of Mr.. Andy Johnson, :" the American peo-
"ple has high and holy duties to perform"
One of these is to pay their debts and they
certainly will pay them. One of them '0dS to
turn Mr.. Johnson out of the White House, and
they certainly have done that When an ex-
President cannot speak of his successor without
lapsing into vulgar abuse, it isn't OF much
consequence what he thinks of the finances

The Lords are making a bargain out of their
defeat in the question of establishment. They
have fortified themselves on that of endow-
ment. If they cannot have the Church in its
proper form, they will make the most of the
goods of the Church, and in this way per-
petuate a nuisance offensive to common sense.
The Times must have strong reason to say that
the latest action of the Lords renders the
Church bill moro favorable to the establish
ment, and more provokingly partial than ever.
What the Lords are doing Mr.. Bright very ap-
proDriately called tiukering. 1t is tinkering
with the feelings of people in order to fool
them; for the proposed concurrent endowment,
by which it is intended to give grants to Pres
byterian and Catholic Churches in order to
justify still larger allowances to the Estab-
lished Church, only palters and trifies with a
plain principle. But it is too much to expect
that British House of Lords will adopt the
whole truth, or even half truth, except after
direst urging.

The recent discussion before Judge Barnard
in the case of Edward b. Ketchum has left on
our mind the impression that our laws are
defective with regard to men convicted OF
crimes whereof they are subsequently proved
innocent. All must know that such cases eXlst
Consider that of M. Lesurques, convicted IN
France of a murder and robbery and executed
eighty years ago: his daughter, then an infant'
now an old woman, spending her life in trying
to get his innocence judcially acknowledged,
and spending it in vain. There was the Red
mond case in this City, where man was con-
victed of bank robbery and sent to State
Prison, when it afterward clearly appeared
that the witnesses who identified him had been
deceived by his close personal resemblance t2
the real culprit.
Suppose man now in State Prison for bur-
glary should be undeniably shown, by the con-
fession of the real burglar to be innocent
what shall be donef
40 the Governor would pardon him."
Perhaps he would; but he do MT want
pardon-do MT want to be simply let out-he
wants to be publicly indicated and (if posslbie)

The basis of parliamentary reform is fore
cast in our French news. The reform includes
the restoration of the reply to the throne, the
right of fully amending bills, and the right of
the Legislature to elect its President. This
programme is said to be acceptable to the
Empire, though it cannot be certain that the
last particular has been graciOusly considered.
The positive adoption of the programme by
Napoleon would signify the triumph of the
Third Party, backed by the radical element of
France, and possibly the substitution at the
head of legislation of NJ Olivier instead of
the EmperOr's favorite and able instrument,
NJ. Rouher. The latest telegram, however,
merely declares that the opposition have as
serted the principles of Ministerial response
bility and legislative independence, the more
detailed programme having been withdrawn.

rushing into the newspapers with doleful
lamentations over the tendency among us to
Imperialism. We found him so charged in the

little consequence. We meant, of course, of
little consequence to the public. To Mr.. Fill
more it was a matter of such Importance that

always in danger of being mistaken for bur

The signs are that the turbulence which
marks our accustomed celebration of the Fourth

sion through the last twenty-four hours. We

1t seems so difficult to make ourselves under
stood by the advocates of Female Suffrage, that
we usually prefer not to attempt it. The letter
of S. c. H., herewith printed, assumes that we
have spoken of all women as the supported
"class," which is very far from true. There are
very many women who work for, earn, and live
upon the fruits of their own industry; and
these-whether they be milliners, factory girls,
clerks, or simply wives, mothers, daughters,
devoting their time and energies to the multi
form labors and cares Of the household-are
not of the supported class; ;" while we know
men whO as husbands Of singers, actresses,
boarding house keepers, &c, &C., are. Still, it
is generally true that men are the bread
winners; and it is deplOrably the fact that
very large portion of our girls, especially those
whose parents are in comfortable or more
affluent circumstances, are not trained to any
means of earning their own livelihood, but ex
pected to secure it by an advantageous mar
rage. We cannot doubt that S. G. II. depre
Gates this as heartily as we do-that she wishes
it reformed-but she is bent on differing with us,
reason or no reason Educate the coming gen.
Grafton of women to do well as many things as
men now do, and they will no longer do any
work whatever for "One-half to one-thlrd the
wages of menu and, until you do so educate
the majority of women, those of them who
work will receive inferior wages; and neither
voting nor grumbling will alter this one hair.
