far as he did decide who WAS In the

tious his decision was that that person
was Thomas B. Clagett. Then why. IN

Under the attractive head line O,

Under the attractive head line of
"a Weak Sister," the San francisco
Examiner, the ablest and most wide.
ly circulated journal published on the
Pacific slope, gives the new premier
the following send-of: "Frelinghuy-
sen, of New Jersey, has been appoint.
ed aud confirmed as secretary of state.
This appointment is not likely to ex-
cite any great expectations as to the
elevated or able manner in which the
affairs of the department of state
will be conducted. Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sens career as a senator and q menu
her of the electoral commission is
not at all calculated to invite conf
dsnce, except among the members of
the Grant clique. His presence in the
cabinet will neither command admir-
alton for ability, respect for superb.
GRITTY Of character, nor reliance OH
it's sincerity. He is just one of "the
Grant crowd" ami q very mediocre
member of that coterie. The part
that he took in the great presidential
theft of 1876 stamps him as a MAI
who could be used by others to do
dirty work. Placing such a man at
the head Of Mi. Arthur's cabine:
does not inspire very sanguine hopes
of the brilliancv or usefulness of Its
career. 1t seems singular, as well ~
unfortunate, that for SO prominent a
position a mere machine politician
should have been selected"

those who went to the rescue started

Ex-Gov. Robinson, of Kansas, who il
a t~eetotaler, takes this view OF the pro.
hibition law in his state :-"Under u
local option law Kansas was. as 1 be-
lieve, the most temperate state In the
Union. I did not meet q drunken person
about Lawrence once In . year; but all
is now changed. Before, no mar could
get a license without giving . heavy
bond, conditioned that he would not sell
to a MINOR. nor to q drunken person. nor
on Sundays. holidays and election day;
also that be was liable for all damage his
liquor might do. or what the man or
woman under its influence might do.
Hence no irresponsible character could
obtain q license, and the saloons were
usually as orderly as other business
houses. Now it is the irresponsible,
ch%aracterless scamp that runs the saloon;
and as he violates the law no moro by
selling to all persons at all times than BY
selling to respectable people for medical
or other proper purposes, there Is no
restraint whatever. If one town a be
found with q population Of 1000 iuhabi-
tants where liquor . not be illegally
purchased, I have been mlsinformsd."
This lie an exposition Of the effects
which We have always believed would
follow . p~rohibitory law. To the vice
OF drunkenness are added the vices Of
lying cheating and hypocrisy.

Upon the proprietor asking for pay he
applied a repulsive name, at the same
time pulling his revolver and shooting
at Mr.. Barnhlll, the ball tearing open
the flesh just over the abdomen. He was
seized and several wounds inflicted on
his head with beer glasses. lie waa
nearly successful in his attempt 10 gel
away, but was finally overcome by city
marshal Sllvers, Capt. Langhorne and

Jail. The wound of Mr.. Barnhill al.
though painful is not dangerous, but
Webb's wounds are of q dangerou,
character which call for attention. The
