THOSE who believe that beer is an
intoxicating beverage and that its
ma lulacture as such should be dis
couraged, have a big work before them.
Recent tables prepared in Vienna
show that in England there are 26 ia
breweries, with an annual production
of over one thousand million gallons
Germany, 23,940 breweries, producing
eight hundred million gallons. The
United States are credited with 1898
breweries and production of three
hundred million gallons. or six gallons
a year for every man, woman and child
in the country. France has 3l00 es-
adjustments Of this character Bel
GUM, 250O; Austria Hungary, 2297 !;
Holland, $50; Russia, 46O; Norway
and Switzerland, 400 each. Denmark
and Sweden have each 240. This gives
total OF 63,54I breweries in Europe
and the United States. 1t is sin
gular fact that Great Britain leads the
world, and the Britishers are a rather
healthy looking set for all that. Pos
sibly they do not drink their own beer,
but get something better from the
United States.

Virginia, are in favor of paying dollar
for dollar, with per cent interest, in
Tennessee, because it suits their pur-
poses. The only Republican daily
paper in the State, ably and
adroitly edited, at that, favors the
latter policy for Tennessee, but never
has word of condemnation for che
Readjusters or repudiators of Vir-
ginia. Reputation with them is not
such terrible thing when it answers
party purpose. Our common human
nature will stand a great deal Of fat
terry, and there is considerable human
nature in the Democratic party.
The fattery which suggests leadership
prominence and ultimately Office,
or the distribution Of it, has evidently
penetrated the cuticle of some of our
credulous and ambitious brethren.
Those who do go over on principle, as
they put it, will find themselves asso.
ciating with party that fosters repu-
diation in one State and advocates 4
dollar for dollar policy in another.
One of the troubles with the Demo-
cratic party in this State has been that
it had too great majority. The re-
suit was apathy, carelessness, AFRO
gance and a superabundant crop of
Self-constituted, Office seeking, second
aud third class leaders. The time is
at hand when those who opposed the
100 3 act and who are satisfied with
the decision must formulate a new
policy. It has been charged that the
low tax party is capable only of tearing
down something that has been con-
structed by others, thatit is essentially
party of opposition and of retrogres.
sive ideas. The best answer to this
would be the enunciation of definite
policy on line that will appeal to the
intelligence of the age aud the sense
of justice in the public mind at home
and abroad. Let us favor settlement
at an early day; let us begin to pay
something voluntarily and thus most
efectually refute the charge so often
made both in Ignorance and malice
that spirit of reputation is at the
bottom of all the opposition to re-
sumption.

CORRESPONDENCE of The New Yor

CORRESPONDENCE of the New York
Herald from Panama shows how the
money subscribed by the public that
has faith in the interoceanic canal is
squandered with a lavish hand on the
isthmus and little left to show for it
in the way of progress toward the
realization Of the great canal digger's
visions. Costly machinery is strewed
over the country, two hundred thou
sand dollars is paid for a house that
could have been built for forty thou
sand dollars, and it is not true that the
company that has the labor in hand
has agreed to construct the canal fol
one hundred million dollars. These
are points in the story of the canal
finances that indicate the spirit which
controls and which seem to involve the
necessary occurrence Of a catastrophe
one of these days.

THE Nashville World suggests that

Wedoubt the expediency Of this, for one
side would be sure to obtain some ad-

dissatisfied. Possibly some policy can

together, without requiring any humil-
iating concessions from either. If
this is not done enough Of the

Mahoneism reversed. 1t would be a
high tax Mahoneism, with methods
adopted after the Virginia fashion,
but with different set of principles.
Politics makes strange bed-fellows,
and there Is evidently an incllna-
tion on the part of a very
small but loud Democratic
faction in this State to turn in with
the Republicans on this issue. Once
tucked in under the cover, and there
is no telling how long they would stay,
or what would be the political fruit of
such an alliance. A few might be
spared if those who remain are true to
principle, but the Democratic party, if
it has any vitality or moral stamina,
cannot afford to disband in fit ofanger
growing out of hot family dis
putation. The Republicans are very
gleeful over this war of factions, and
they artfully encourage both sides.

A KENTUCKY HANGING.
A SurdePer Swings Off After a
Private Fashion.

CINCINNATI, February 24.-John
Major Hicks, colored man, born in
Boyd county, KY, April l5, 1862, was
hanged at Covington to-day. The ex-
ecutlon was the second one ever had
in Kenton county, and was the first
quasi private execution in the State Of
Kentucky, and is likely to be the last,
as the law requiring executions in an
inclOsure has just been repealed and
will go into effect in thirty days.
This execution was held in
shell of a building, built OIL
brick, All of the outside lower story
windows were nailed up with boards
The condemned man was brought on
the scaffold. attended by Father
McGinley, Father Lambert and two
other priests. At seven minutes past
ten o'clock they knelt and prayed
audibly, the prisoner repeating after
Father Mckinley the Lords Prayer
aud the APOSTLE Creed. After this the
prisoner was brought to the platform,
where be shook hands with the priests.
Then Father Lambert came to the
front, and addressing the three hun
dred spectators admitted, said: "Mr.
Hicks will say nothing; speak for
him. He takes this death as a pun
ishment for his sins"
The moose was then fixed, his hands
manacled and the strips of the black
cap were adjusted, Hicks all the while
weeping profusoly, and exclaiming:
God is good Oh! Lord Jesus, have
mercy" The priests exhortod him
with the words: Trust in Jesus.
He can save the soul" The trap
dropped at 1915, and the body was
cut down at 10:44. There was no
struggling. BE was hung for
the murder of Henry NJ. Williams,
at Ludlow, KY, December 18th, 1880,
early in the evening. There we're no
living witnesses to the crime. This
utterance of Father Lambert on the
scaffold is the only confession he
made.

A Scaly Job.

Special to Cincinnati Commsrcial.l
WASHINGTON, February 22.-An
attempt is making to induce the Post
office Department to buy, for the use
of postmasters throughout the coun-
try, ten thousand scales for the detec-
tion of counterfeit money. The
scales are not of sufficient fneness to
detect the fact that gold coin is a
little lighter than the least current
weight, but only to discover unusually
marked difference in weight between
counterfeit and genuine coin. At the
Treasury Department, where a few
were purchased for trial, it is stated
that the price of them il from three
to hVe dollars each. The point is
made that inasmuch as postmasters
are accountable to the government tor
funds received by them in lawful
money, it IS under Obligation to fur
nish them With such articles. A
well known New York politician. who
held conspicuous Office under Presi-
dent Grant, seems to have the matter
in charge, and from the amount Of
lobbying that is expended upon it, it
is regarded as a lob" which, it is
believed, will fail when the attention
of the Postmaster General has been
called to the influences behind it.
