A National Liquor Commission.

Now that the National Liquor Commission bill
has been amended SO as to prevent ifs operation
from being wholly er parte, no one will strenu-
ously object to 1t, except, perhaps, the Prohib-
tionists, They wanted bill to appoint com
mission of their own set, exclusively, who would
go'a About the country and discover, what no in
partial person has yet been able to find that pen-
al prohibition Is the best preventive Of drunken
ness, and recommended the adoption Of FEEDER
al Prohibitory Law. The friends of the bill are
after that end and nothing else. The bill was
meant to be the thin entering wedge Of that bold
Radical reform; and were 1t to pass Congress- a.
originally offered, and the President to befrend
the movement, the report which would be render
ed from the commission appointed would be
one-sided and most ingenious and plausible argll-
ment in behalf of government regulation of the
liquor traffic This clever scheme has been upset
by an amendment made 10 the bill In the Senate
providing that oil of the commissioners "shall
not be advocates Of prohibitory legislation or to-
| tai abstinence" This will insure fair INQUIRY
should the bill be enacted into law, and fsfr in
quiry Is all that the opponents of prohibition ask
They believe that candid investigation will dem
onstrAte that the evil of drunkenness has been in
creased by prohibitory laws, and that the use of
the deadliest OF stimulants, opium, has become
more general IN consequence of such legislation
| They expect that 1t will be shown BY abundan n I
testimony that where the sale OF beer has bee n
curtailed by prohibition las it easily can be, on
\ account of the bulky and perishable nature oT
the artlcle), the sale of strong drink has propoi
tlonately increased, and that thereby drunkennes
and the attendant vices have made gain One
OF the strong points of the anti Prohibitonists is
the substitution OF beer and light dry wines foi
the heavier fuids-snd they are frm in the fai, :
that the people of the United States If let ale
by prohibitory medders, win gradually MAZE
that salutary change OF their own accord, and
that drunkenness will soon be as rare wee be re
as it is in the wine-growlng countries or anon
the beer-drnking people OF Europe So far tror
shrinking from inquiry, there is nothing that tht
anti-Prohibitionists more desire than an honestl,
conducted, intelligent search among the statistie
OF liquor selling and liquor drinking, of vice anc
virtue Of thrift and wastefuness, as exhibited II
countries or States which have prohibitory law
and those that have none. - :.

Hunted Down,

We like the Adams Express Company's
wav of treating thieviDg clerks and mos
sengers. 1t makes no compromise with
them for the return of the money, ,bnt hunts
them down at any cost and brings them
back to justice. One of Its hands, who stole
$5, 900 of the eeompany's money at Spring
held, Mass, In January last, has been un-
earthed In Georgia, and delivered at the
place of his otfense tor trial. He had been
dodgIng and doubling all over the South,
changing his name frequently, and using
all the conventional eSpedients to disguise
his Identity and throw detectives off the
scent, but all to no purpose. BY the aid of
Q photograph and a comparison of hand
writing at hotels. they kept steadily on his
track. 1t cost something 10 catch this thief.
and the company loses It's $1,000, but is far
cheaper for the company to make that or q
much larger sacrifice in money than to
compromise with theft. TO receive back
the stolen funds and pardon the stealer
would be to encourage other men In its SER
| vice to rob also. As has often been said,
nothing 30 much prevents crime as tho GER
tainty of punishment; and 1t is part OF wis
dom in every moneyed corporation and
every man employing persons in places OF
pecuniary trust to spare no means and no
1 trouble in hunting down embsszzieis, de-
faulters and thieves. Such expenditures.
Though they may be large. will be In the
end economicsl.as discouraging others from
dlshonest ways. As mere .qaeetion OF
economy, 1t is cheap for Adams Kxpress
Company to catch defaulter, 10 It sends TO
| the end of the earth amer hsm but we would

The Funding Bill.

House Bill No. 400, an act t.
fund the floating deb. Of the State
and to provide for the payment o
taxes and other dues to the State il
currency, which we noticed sometime
sgo US having passed both houses o,
the Legislature, has been approved
by the Governor and is now a law
With but one or two exceptions this
is perhaps the most important act Of
general legislation passed during the
late session. II makes a radical
change in the maaner Of paying taxes.
Heretofore, both before and since the
war, probably more than one half Of
the State tax has UeeH paid in Audi>
tors warrants. These could general
~ be attained al q considerable dis
count, and then those tax payers who
were 60 situated that they could OBJ
tain the warrants were enabled to
save considerable in the payment Of
State tax. Under this act the whole
OF the tax must now be paid in eur.
rency. This law, as the first step
towards the cash system in the adj
ministration of the state Government,
IL q good cue. Il will have the ef-
feet OF lesseaihg the expenses and
consequently reducing the taxes. It's
good effects may not be for a year or
two. The State must necessarily be
conducted on the credit system for
this year and probably for the ucxt,
until there is a clsh balance in the
Treasury 10 meet current expenses.
"a lieu Of publishing the entire text of
the law, we give below a synopsis Of
IT taken from the Natchez Democrat F:

THE new DOG POUND.

captain Marriott, the keeper OF the Dog Pound,
was at work again yesterday afternoon arranging
for the reception OF dogs at the new pound in the
rear of the Eighteenth ward market building, near
the East River, between sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets He Is there quite isolated, so far
distant from dwellings that probably the howlings
of the doomed dogs will never he heard in the
residences OF the Eighteenth ward citizens who
live nearest. He has moved the asphy xtating tank
from the Thirtyseventh street pound, where !, 800
dogs were suiocated, and is now ready with sta
pies and chains to confne 500 of the vagrant ami
mails, II many snail be brought. with ample
space for 1000 If it were needed. Being at the
dock, ii Is probable cheaper and more simple
method OF drowning will soon be adopted, instead
of the costly and tedious gas sufrOcation. The
dogs will be secured at the lower door on Six
teenth street. and the carcases after the slaughter
can be transferred to the Oflal scOws without ira
versing any street. Quite large number of the
animals secured by the orty newly appointed dog
catchers were offered to Captain Marriott yester
day morning. but at that time his operations had
been suspended by the Mayor in accordance with
protest Of citizens OF the vicinity At noon the
captain was directed TO go ahead, and he VIII be
ready to receive the lOur-Ooted nuisances tbs
morning. when, II Is believed, some 400 Will be
brought, the accumulation OF several days official
labor by the catchers. No dogs will be killed till
Thursday. There are large numbers demanding
immediate arrest, and IL Is believed the work or
slaughter Will be brisk.
