asks the following questions, which he
doubtless considers "crushers" against
prohibitory legislation:
Does prohibition prohibit? For up
wards Of q quarter of century the
State of Vermont has had q law upon
her statute books prohibiting the sale OF
intoxicating liquor. Is there any intox-
icating liquor sold In Vermont to-dayP
For good deal more than quarter
of century there have been laws on
our statute books against stealing, ar.
son, murder, and whole list of other
crimes. Are any of these crimes COM

per mans soul is sad because of the
frequent crimes against the prohibitory
law, let him do his share in putting q
stop to them, and see if 1t will not have
small influence in lessening the amount
of liquor sold in bis vicinity. We just
make the suggestion, though we are
aware that all who know Kinsley would
gently twitter at the idea.

WASHINGTON NOTES.


WASHINGTON, d. e., June 81, 1881.
There is little doubt that one of the
first acts of the next Congress will be to
inquire into our postal system, and es-
pecially into the management and meth
cd of letting ''star routes" That the
frauds 30 easily and extensively practic-
ed show the need of some new method
of running them is certain. In the pres
ent system of letting by contract there
will always be, on more or less routes,
certain amount of extravaganza and
needless expense to the government.
Since the discovery of the frauds, spec
ial agents have secured the West, with
noses keen for the discovery Of irregu.
larities, and upon their recommends
ton, often hastily made, many necessa-
ry routes have been cut down, and 9TH
ers discontinued. This action has caus-
ed many complaints to be sent here,
both from citizens and Congressman.
The result cannot help being an inves-
LEGATION next winter, and will, think,
cause the entire discontinuance of the
contract system, and the prosecution of
the work entirely by the government.
OF course there will be drawbacks to
this, but of the two evils, it is undoubt-
eddy the lesser.
General William w. Dudley, the
new commissioner of Pensions, will
qualify and take possession of his office
to-day. His record as friend of the
soldier is good. In 1879 he was appoint
U. s. Marshal for the state of Indiana.
General Dudley has, In all positions,
the reputation of an honest, upright
man, one of unusual energy and abil;-
ty. The soldiers may we'll rejoice that
man in full sympathy with their in
terests is at the head of the Pension
Office.
Ex-senator Conkling arrived in this
city Saturday morning, and returned to
New York last night. He went i'm
mediately to his quarters on 18th st.
He was accompanied only by his SER
want. OF course the moment his pres
ence was known in town, the political
gossips were all agog. But they were
doomed to disappointment, as it turn
favorite horse that injured itself while
in pasture near the city. 1t is not
thought the injury TO the horse, and
the ex-senatOr's visit here in conse-
quence, will have an effect upon the
Albany contest.
hcpTcSeuhtlVc EmOry Speer is In
the city. He does not deny that he in
formed the President that he intends to
vote with the Republicans in organic.
ing the next House. He says, however,
that he has authorized no one to make
such statement. Mr. Speer is the in
dependent Democrat from Georgia.
Washington astronomers, and "plain
people" generally, are much excited
over the appearance of large comet in
our North Western skies. Last night
it Yves exceedingly brilliant, the tail
extending far into the heavens. From
whence 1t comes or whittier it is going |
our observers have not yet decided. |
But the figures are being pulled into |
all sorts of scientific shapes in the COM
putations being made as to size, vclo-
city, distance from the sun and earth,
etc.
The President returned from Long
Branch to-day. All the members Of
the cabinet, with the exception of Mr.. |
MacVeigh, are also here. How long
they will stay is not known.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.
"A special census agent reports all the
government bonds owned by less than
100000 people. New England owns
ii per cent of the registered bonds, the
middle states 43 per cent, the southern
states two per cent, the western states
nearly 1-2 per cent, the banks, insur-
ance companies and other corporations
own 80 Ia per cent. IL is not probable
that the coupon bonds will differ great
ly from the registered, excepting that
we may expect to find 10 or IA per cent
more, proportionately, in the large cit
les of the country.

NOT BE DECEIVED by similarity of odor
and appearance. These limitations cannot in
any instance be compared with PONDS EX-

THIS GREAT CURATIVE is always Of steady

ables the company to guarantee this, while
the imitator does not produce the same result

THE TRUE SECRET of the manufacture OF

stating TO their customers who ask for

THIS COMPANY is MOST SOLICITOUS to pro-
