THE TEMPERANCE RAID seems
that the Temperance Raid of men and
women, throughout the United States,
upon the liquor dealers, still continues.
In the end this red-hot sensation move
ment will amount to nothing. 1t will
not in the least promote Temperance
The Maine Liquor Law is an absolute
failure. Men can be persuaded better
than driven, generally. This law has
been in force abouty twenty-tour years,
more or less, in some OF the States,
and now the cause Of Temperance is
not in so good condition as it was
when the law went into operation. -
There is now more liquor sold and
drank-more drunkenness than at that
time. Backaction has commenced
What is to be done ? Who can solve
this problem, and provide the proper
remedy for this crying evil.

"A company established in Deni-

"A company estaDllsheu III Denl-
son, Texas, is engaged in shipping
fresh beef to the Eastern States pack
ed in patent refrigerator cars. These
cars resemble an ordinary box car, but
carry long ice box on top holding
two tons of ice. BY this means the
beef is kept at temperature of about
SO Or 40 degrees. The arrangement
is such that all the moisture in them
is condensed on the roof and conducted
through pipes to the bottom, where it
is expelled without admitting any air.
The company was organized about
nine months ago. The first shipment
of beef was made in November. In
the middle of January the company
had one hundred cars completed, each
Car having a capacity Of forty-fve
large cattle, dressed and quartered.
So far the experiment has proved high
ly profitable. The time occupied in
sending a car load of this beef from
Denison to New York is five days,
the company running special trains
which stop only for wood and water.
Some time ago q steamer called the
Fire Fly was fitted up as y marine re-
frigerator, and used for shipping beef
from Texas to Philadelphia and this
city. Last winter firm of stock deal
ers in Philadelphia charte. ed the Fire
Fly and shipped cargo of beefto Ha-
vana by her The voyage was attend
ed with many vexatious delays
When off Cape Henry an accident oc-
cured to the engine which compelled
the steamer to put into Norfolk for re-
pairs, and she was detained several
days at that port, Again, off Charles
ton she sprung a leak, which caused
still further detention. Finally the
vessel reached Havana after nearly a
fortnight had elapsed from the time
Of her departure. The meat was per-
fectly preserved, and was sold at a
handsome profit. Encouraged by
this, the firm determined to try the ex-
pertinent Of shipping fresh beef to
Liverpool. They purchased all the
patents for the refrigerator process of
preserving meats on shipboard, and
made contract with the White Star
line Of steamers to send cargo Of two
hundred carcasses. If they are sue
cessful in this venture they intend to
put on a regular line of steamers and
despatch a cargo every week. Their
process of preserving is to drive a
strong current of cold air through the
packed carcasses. This current OF
cold air is obtained by packing mass
Of ice where the air from large fan
passes over it. In this way the meat
ispreserved dry and solid.-N Y. Sun

DIsTR1cT OF COLUMBIA INvEsTIGA-
rIoNs. There is a prospect that in
tercsting developments will be made
by the joint Committee appointed to
investigate the affairs ofthe District
of Columbia, which recently common
ced its labors in the city Of Washing
ton.
Already individual members have
secured evidence that no doubt sur
prised them; and, when the whole
Committee meet to put this and that
together, with the abundance Of ready
testimony that will be forthcoming,
the report, if 4 fair and bipartisan
one, may well be expected to test the
thickness of the District oflice,holder's
skin. Among other things which
seem to be tolerably well established
will be some fresh facts in regard to
corner lots of Senators and Depart
ment officials and betterments of a
private nature that were charged to
public account and paid from pub
lie fund. The official documents that
have already come to the notice OF
members of the Committee indicate
that Attorney General Williams
landaulet was not the only personal
comfort that the people have been
paving for. since an order from Mr..
Clement Hill, General Inspector OF
the Board of Public Works, directs
the contractors "to grade and fix the
property of Acknowledgement Will
Jams to the satisfaction of Mrs. Will
iams." This was done to the amount
of several thousands OF dollars, the eX-
pense of which was distributed in the
charges to the account for improve
ments on one alley, two squares and
an avenue. Lots belonging to other
officials were also filled'by an order of
the Board, and the cost paid in GER
tifcates OF Indebtedness issued against
property on an avenue where the con-
tractors never worked The detailed
statements of the school fund show
that money appropriated for educa-
tional purposes has been used to pay
the interest on the debt, and misap-
piled in various ways, while the gen
eral catalos aelof Irregularities and
misdemeanors omises to be startling
when it appears. Let this Committee
do no "white-washing." Let no more
swindling, dishonesty and corruption
be suppressed and covered up from
the people. Let all government
thieves, defaulters and all others be
thoroughly exposed End ligidly pun
ished. But who has any faith that
the present Grant-dynasty will ever
