THE OHIO LIQUOR LAW IN OTHER
STATES.

The working of the Ohio Liquor
Law, by which the seller of intox-
icating liquor is made liable to the
persons injured through the results
of intoxication produced by that
liquor, has attracted attention in
other States. The justice of the
principle on which the law is based
has been recognized, and, in spite of
possible hardships through abuse
of the privileges granted, there is a
disposition to extend the Of the
enactment. Illinois has adopted a
license law in which the Ohio fea-
ture of responsibility of the liquor
seller to those injured by his traffic
ha been incorporated, with some
more stringent features than per-
mitted by our Constitution. In
Maine a measure similar to the Ohio
law is favored by the Temperance
men, who seem to have more sense
that their Ohio brethren who oppose
the practicable and will be content
with nothing but the impracticable.
Even in Missouri the Ohio law has
been introduced in the legislature,
though with little prosp ct of going
through, owing to str ng opposi-
tion of a portion of the German ele-
ment, and the maneuvering of the
different political factions. But it
is something to have the matter in
troduced, and the discussion on it
has already attracted much atten-
ton and shows that the subject is
one that may be crowded down out
of sight now, but will inevitably
come up again.
1t is useless to think of prohibit
ing the traffic in liquor, but every
thoughtful person whose atten-
tion has been turned to the
subject, and who is in position to
see the evil effects of dram drink
ing cannot but be convinced that the
traffic should be so regulated as to
do the eastpossible damage, and to
make those who profit by the traffic
liable for the damage it OCCASIONS

A TOUCHING STORY.

The New York Times tells a
touching story of a lad eleven years
of age, living at Binghampton, who
being sent out on an errand, clam
bered into q freight car attracted by
some loose corn on the floor, which
he proceeded to pick up for his
chickens. While SO engaged the
doors were closed and the car-one
of train-started off to its destin
alton. Cries and shrieks were of
no avail, and for thirty miles the
poor lad was thrown violently from
side to side, having nothing to hold
on to, until he was severely bruised
and cut and his flesh filled with
splinters. AT the end of the jour
ney the car was switched off and the
boy discovered. Being brutally
treated by the trackman who took
him from the car, he was afraid to
ask assistance, and actually walked
all the way back to Binghampton,
eating raw corn to stop the cravings
of hunger, and sleeping in a hay
stack, where the mice ran over his
face and where his feet were frozen.
The distress Of the parents at his
loss and their ~ at his recovery
may be more C. silly imagined than

EMBASSY FROM JAPAN.

The arrival of an Embassy from
the Empire of Japan, charged with
the important duty of negotiating
a commercial treaty with the United
States and other nations, marks an
era in the history of that country,
which will have a wonderful effect
upon its industries and commerce,
and in no small degree will benefit
our own.
Nothing more truly and certainly
marks the progressive tendencies
of the age in which we live, than
this Embassy and the similar one
from China which startled the world
a few years ago. These nations
have been shut in from cordial rela-
tionship with the rest of the world,
for thousands of years, and it has
been reserved for our day and gen.
Grafton to break this seclusion, and
by humane and honorable treat.

Celestial Empires to visit, and es.
tablish commercial relations. with
us.
The fears Of prejudices so long
nourished by the Asiatic against
the people of the outside world, are
at last disslpated through the la
bors of commerce. This is but the
beginning, and will result in great
benefit to all nations.

WON'T VACCINATE.

In Kalamazoo, Mich, great diff
ficulty is experienced in the effort
to have the children of the schools
vaccinated. Among the parents
who are Hollanders, it is deemed
wicked to vaccinate their children,
the argument being that if the AL
mighty intends that their children
shall have the smallpox it is wrong
to attempt to defeat the purposes OF
the Almighty ly vaccination. The
consequence is the Hollanders will
not allow their children to be vac
cinated. The same people oppose
life insurance on the ground that
their lives are in Gods hands to dc
with as He sees. fit.
These people must be nearly re-
lated to the old dutchman on the
neutrality-suspicious. built a
church, but would not allow any
lightning rods to be put on it, re
marking that if the Almighty would
not keep His own house from being
struck by the fluid, it might burn
down for all Spraker cared.

STOKES DEFENSELESS.

The principal defence which will
be set up in the Stokes trial will be,
that as a bitter feud existed between
Stokes and Fisk, and as there were
circumstances tending to establish
a conspiracy to take Stokes life, the
latter therefore committed the shoot
ing in self defense. Stokes friends
claim that a few days before the
shooting, men were discovered to
be on the track of Stokes, and that
they had been following him for a
week previous. An attempt will be
made to prove at the trial that Fisk
was armed when he was shot, and
and that loaded revolver was sub
sequently taken from his person;
also that the wounds from the bull
lets were insufficient to kill Fisk.
Every effort is to be made by Stokes
counsel to have the trial deferred as
long as possible. There seems to
be no sympathy for Stokes.

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.

A financial revolution has COM
menced in France similar to that
which the United States passed
ed through at the commencement of
the war. Metallic money is at q
premium there, and small change has
disappeared. This is the necessary
result of the great expenditures of
the recent great war, and has not
been, and could not have been pre-
even by such power as the
Bank of France. The bank advanced
twelve hundred millions of francs
for war expenditures. This debt,
and loan of two hundred millions,
required large increase in the is
sue of paper money; and the bank
has now 2.3OO,000,00O of francs out,
only 100000 less than it's le-
gal limit. The premium on coin
and the boarding thereoffollow nat
urally, and now one of the most diff
ficult financial questions requiring
quick solution in France is, how to
supply the demand for small change.

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

Late advices from Mexico repre-
sent the backbone of the rebellion
as broken, and the rebels finding
their last ditch in the Pacific States
of the Republic. Both the figures
here used are so familiar to Ameri-
can readers that it is quite refresh
ing to find them current elsewhere;
but there is singular appropriate
ness in the rebels making the Pacific
ports their last harbor of refuge.
Sinaloa, Sonora, and Colima are al
~ays in chronic state of revolu-
tion and. anarchy, and the idea of
sending an expedition thither to
crush out the revolutionists will
strike little comically those who
know that when revolt is temporari-
ly quelled in such cities as La Paz,
Mazatlan, and Guaymas, it immedi-
ately breaks out in every port big
enough to own canoe-load of red
peppers.

Our Canadian Neighbors Discussing
Trade Relations With The United
States.

At a meeting of the the Dominion
Board of Trade on Friday, the ques-
ton of trade relations with the
United States came up. Hon., Mr..
Young opened the discussion, advo-
eating a zollverein, which was op
posed to by Mr.. Rowland, who ex-
planned the position taken by the
Dominion delegates at St. Louis.
He said the feeling ofthe Nation
al Board was to give reciprocal trade
only on their own conditions, with
the evident intention of forcing
Canada into annexation. Messrs.
Lever and Hazard, American dele
gates, contended that the CONNER
cial men of the United States did
not want annexation. Mr.. Hazard
states that aZollverein was the only
suggestion. The st. Louis Board
would meet strong opposition from
the lumber, coal and salt monopo-
lies. Besides, there were political
obstacles to its adoption, but Amer
leans were open to free commercial
intercourse, and upon any fair terms
would meet Canada half way.
The debate resulted in a resolution
to appoint Delegation from the
Dominion Board to meet the Execu-
tive Committee of the National
Board at Washington, as soon as
practicable. A second resolution,
condemning the zollverein, but ex-
pressing cordial willingness to
negotiate for the purpose of reliev-
ing trade between the two countries
from all restrictions, was offered.
Both were unanimously passed. De-
bate on trade relations would not
have taken place during the session
of parliament, but the Board wish
ed to give expression to opinions on
the subject of the zollverein, in the
presence ofthe American Delegates.

SMALL POx IN NEW YORK,

The smallpox is on the increase
in New York, ,and grave alarm is en-
tertained that it has only commenc-
ed its ravages as an epidemic. A
class of Germans in that city are re
sponsible for its spread in a large de-
gree, refusing, on superstitious be-
lief that it is wicked to endeavor to
Providence, to get vac
cinated. We think there IS work
for the more intelligent Germans to
do in order that their ignorant coun-
trymen may look more wisely on
vaccination and adopt it as pre-
ventative. So long as the smallpox
prevails in New York, I'VE cannot af-
ford to let up in our home sanitary
to keep the loathsome dis
ease in check.

staid old families Of Philadelphia
standing on their heads for the past
month-took place in St. Stevens

ternoon. The whole affair was in
keeping with an establishment con-
tainlng room which it took sixty
thousand dollars to furnish, with
other appointments in proportion,
and those who were happy enough
to be there are now firmly convinc-
ed that it isn't necessary to die to
to enjoy paradise. Buckley, of New

SERIOUSLY GRIEV ED,

The Democratic members of the
Ohio Legislature are seriously
grieved over the election of John
Sherman, and are fritterng their
time away in vain ,endeavors to pro-
nounce his election void and of no
effect, simply because the Lieut.
Governor would not permit them to
change their votes after having once
voted. AS no Republicans asked to
change their votes, the result could
not possibly be otherwise than as
it is. But their Inconsistency in
this instance is only in keeping
with hundreds of others of like ma
ture in the history of that party.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

In the Senate bill was passed
authorizing the School Boards to
make such rules as they may think
proper to secure the vaccination of
pupils attending the public schools;
also, bill authorizing cities of the
secor d class with population of
less than ten thousand to levy an ad
ditional tax for sanitary purposes.
Bills were introduced to secure to

A bill was passed providing that
in cities CO. extensive with the town.
ship in which they are situated, JUS
tices of the peace and constable shall
be voted for on the same ticket with
city officers.
In the House bills were passed al
lowing prosecuting attorneys to re-
main with the grand juries during
their sittings. Bills were introduc-
ed to allow in proceedings in con
demnation of property by corpora
tions the challenge of jurors as in
other cases, and if a corporation fail
within ten days to take the property
at price fixed by the jury the pro-
bate Court is requested to collect the
costs and expense, including the at
torney's, fees by execution as at law,
to increase the fees of witnesses in
criminal and civil cases before the
Common Pleas Court from seventy
five cents to one dollar and half; to
repeal that section of the act relative
to bitches which gives to county
auditors authority to let contracts
for constructing bitches; to provide
for the election of a board of trust
ees and visitors representing the
alumni of university or college; to
enable township trustees to make
larger tax levies for township pur-
poses; to amend the act regulating
life insurance companies, so as to
compel foreign companies to forego

United States Courts. A resolution
was adopted donating to the Chica-
go Law Institute copies of Ohio re-

A NEW CANDIDATE.

The people of Iowa having retired
Mr.. Harlan from further Senatorial
honors, and made Mr.. Allison the
recipient of their favors, have now
put forward the name of Hon. Jas.
Wilson for Presidential honors.
Whether this is meant to solace Mr..
Wilson for his non-election to the
United States Senate we know not.
But the people of Iowa have an un-
doubted constitutional right to nom
mate one of the number as Presi-
Dental candidate. But is it just
kind to Mr.. Wilson to have him
knocked over a second time?
