instance. Let tne rUDber give bond, and
obtain license. This would place the
business in the hands of responsible rob-
bers, who would not rob poor people, or
knock on the head some poor, helpless
old man, to get his money. All admit
that liquor should not be sold to minors
or drunkards, but it is all right to sell 1t
to sober men, although this Is the way
and the only way that drunkards are
made. 1t is wrong to rob poor man,
who is not able to lose @has property
Why not grant license to rob, and
make the robber give bond to rob no
man who is not worth at least ten thou
sand dollars. No friend of license Will
claim that all the robbery committed in
this country causes tenth part OF the
misery caused by the sale of liquor.
Another of their arguments is, that
you can never stop the sale of liquor,
and the next best thing to do is to re-
strict it by making it legal by license
Precisely the same thing can be said OF
robbery. 1t never can be stopped Then
why not regulate and restrict it by 'Ju
dicious, stringent well regulated Ii
cense9'
We never yet met an advocate OF II
cense who did not blow hot and cold or
this question They all set out with the
admission that the excessive use of in
toxicating liquors is great evil. Whe1
asked why not stop it at once, the sam'
as theft and robbery, they reply that
cannot be stopped, and that it is not per $
wrong. They know better. They al
know that it is the one gigantic wroni
| of our times.

A boy named Jesse r. Pomeroy, only
sixteen years of age, has been mutilating
and numbering several children in Bos-
ton. The case of this boy strongly con-
firms the truth of theory we recently
advanced, and should be studied by all
women who ever expect to become moth
ers. A. report in the New York Tribune
says: ia
when he was first examined two years ago
on charges of mutilating little boys IN Chelsea
and East Boston, he said, in reply 10 a qqesIon
WHY he did ii: al don't know, your honor,
oniy could not helpit; had to do II. 1t has
now come out that directly after this invesnga-
ton party of three well-known physicians,
who were anxious to learn all they could ABOUT
the boy, called upon his mother and had very
pleasant and candid interview with her They
formation in her power. Among other thlngs,
she said that her husband was Dutehef, ana
that a short time before the birth OF the boy
she was in the habit of going daily TO the siusn-
ter-house to witness the killing of the animals,
and that, somehow, she took particular de-
light in seeing her husband butcher the sheep,
the calves and the cattle, and not unfrequently
she assisted him in this bloody work she also
said that after Jesse was born and became old
enough TO have knife in his hand he was all
the time when opportunity oHeied, sucking
knife into pieces OF meat, and when little old
er and about his fathers market he did the
same thing. He was simply marked by ms
mother Just as other children have been, only
in a different way.

crime. The State of Ohio grants license te-
marry, for the purpose of preventing hcen-
tiousness, these license granted to certain
individuals under rules and restrictions TO pre-
vent the crime of adultery. Why not then
grant license under rules and restrictions to
prevent drunkennesss It is not a crime to
drink or sell whisky any more than it is a
crime to marry-crime may grow out of either.
If the one can be regulated by license why not
the other? We grant certificates or license our
school teachers to prevent improper and un-
qualified persons from teaching In our common
schools. Why not grant license to proper per-
sons to sell spirituous liquors, to prevent i'm
proper and unqualified persons from engaging
in the traffic? But we are told that the traffic
is a crime, as much so as larceny, and ought to
be prohibited. Is it a crime to sell spirituous
liquors for mechanical purposes for medicinal
purposes, or for beverage? 1 answer no, and
neither is it a crime to use them for these pur-
poses. There must be intoxication or drunken
ness in order to constitute crime, therefore it i
not a crime per Sc like larceny murder. The
object of the Legislature should be to prevent
the crime by restricting the traffic. This can be
done by well regulated license. Why moi
then place in our organic law the license
| clause, giving the power to the Legislature to
grant license in order that the traffic may bt
placed in the hands of responsible and proper
persons? A wise Legislature would restrict tht
| traffic so that no impure liquor could be pur
chased, that no sales could be made to habitua
drunkards minors without heavy penalties
so that no person could engage in the trafh
without first giving satisfactory evidence anC
/ security that he would sell in strict accordance
j with his license, so that his license should b.
revoked at any time the provisions therein
| were violated. But am told that with al
these restrictions men would get drunk. Ant
the argument from this standpoint is mad
that the manufacture and sale of spirituou
liquors must be prohibited. From the sam
stand point argue that with all the license
vows and restrictions thrown around the sacre
institution of marriage, that adultery will b
committed, and therefore all marriages ough
to be prohibited. But am met with anothe
argument that the evils resulting from tn
traffic are so great that they overcome all good
therefore prohibition is the only remedy. Thi
argument at first would seem plausible, bu
would not the same argument apply to the in
lstitntion of marriage? The evils arising fron
this institution enormous. Hereditary dis
eases are propagated from one generation
another, sickness and pain of the most exquis
lite character are the legitimate effects of maj
riage. Sorrow, misery, wretchedness and wo
are found in almost half of the abodes of tn
human family, brought about by imprope
marriages. If the argument is good in the on
case 1t certainly is good in the other. Th
evils growing out of the institutions of maj
riage are fully equal to the evils growing out {
the trafhc OF spirits.

We are sorry to see that Bowen of the

tisement of the Louisville lottery swindle
The same thing was sent to us by D. R.
Locke, (Nasby,) from his advertising
agency, and ten dollars was offered for
its publication. 1t is no less violation
of the law because it is put among the

man named John E. Gilbert, beat him
over the head with mace, in conse-

Steubenville Herald and Nea0s has loud
words of condemnation for the unfortu-

word against the man who furnished the
liquor to Gilbert, which caused his death
That liquor seller is entitled to ''strin-

License will be an honest effort to lessen an

Not SO. Your inconsistency is too
patent. Hydrophobia is IAN existing

Don't kill the dog, but license it. Yes

Allen has commuted the sentence to inn

not quite sure but that Dougherty was
just a little bit crazy at the time he COM

notice in your last issue an editorial that
does me gross injustice, and man always feels
sorer when stabbed by one of his supposed
friends. Now, in all candor and honesty, 1 will
say that you manufactured everything COM
planned of in SAID editorial out of whole cloth.
First, you say that falsehoods, vulgarity, pro-
family, and blackguardism were the ingredients
of which my speech of Saturday evening last
was composed, 1. e., substantially that is what
you said. Now am willing to submit the case
to the large and attentive audience that was
present and heard the speech. But in the mean
time 1 will say that spoke no word on that
occasion that is not true, and hold myself
in readiness to prove the same. / did not utter
one profane word on that occasion, Tor one yul-
gar word, except the word a0horehouse once.
Neither did use any blackguard words in the
sFeech except as above. now submit to the
honest judgmentof of the people who heard me
make said speech, as to who is right, you or L.
My friends advised me not to say one word, and
pass the matter by with silent contempt, aIleg-
ing that you was an unscrupulous man, and
would resort to all manner of subterfuges and
falsehoods to sustain yourself. But as never
knew man who is destitute of all honesty and
truth, concluded to make the above reply,
with the promise that if you again disappoint
me shall keep quiet in the future.

The Democrats of the Seventh Con-
gressional District, in convention at
Hillsborough last week, passed long
string of resolutions. They make a lunge
at the ''cussed Niger" as usual They
are opposed to "nigger schools" and the
Civil Rights Bill. They pitch into rail
roads, and toady to the Grangers. Three
or four of their resolutions go for honest,
capable men for Office, and condemn high
salaries. This is good theory, but we
never see. that party carry it out in prac-
tice. There is no resolution condemning
or referring to the recent stealing by the
Democratic officers of Holmes county.

FRATERNAI. STABBING AFFRAY.-An un-
natural quarrel between two brothers came 70
a horrible termination between midnight OF
sunday and Monday morning. John and Fred
Bohrer, sons of a baker doing business IN the
Twenty-fifth Ward, went out spreelng toSether
on Sunday evening, and in the course
of the night made their way to Eusfeder,s sa-
loon, on the avenue, some distance above
Spring Grove, where two or three other men
were drin king. Several drinks, loud talk, ana
some sportive scufiing, to which Ensfelder ob-
jected, produced quarrel between the brothers,
which came to blows, in the course OF which,
John drew knife and plunged it into the right
breast of Fred about two and a half inches
below the collar bone. The bystanders, who
up to the time of the stabbing had refused TO
interfere, now rushed to where Fred lay bleed
ing and dragged him into a cleaner part of the
saloon, where the blood was partly washed
from him, and crude efforts made to check the
hemorrhage. The knife was found to have
pierced the lung, and every touch or pressure
upon his chest or sides, drove the air through
the gaping wound with loud wheeze. Others
hurried down to the Tenth District Station to
notify the police. The wounded mans father
sent a wagon and had his son conveyed home

dangerous, and entertains but faint hopes Of
recovery. Warrants were yesterday sworn out
