Great REDUCTION.

WASHINGTON, March 27-An exami-
nation of Second Assistant Postmaster
General Elmore on the result of the re-
cent letting of star routes west of the
Mississippi for another term of four
years, beginning on July 1, 1882, shows
that under the new contracts the
cost of the service will be only half as
much as it was January, 1881, two
months before Mr.. James became post
master general. The cost in what is
known as the Pacific section on January
1, 1881, was 1854, 165, and under the
new contracts the cost will be 81 1885,
149, to which $1SS,S50 should be added
for new railway service which has su-
perseded the star service since March 4,
1881. The cost of the star service per
mile on that section on July 1, 1892,
will be only 494 per cent. of the cost
of the star service.
The annual cost of twenty-one ex-
pedited routes on January l, 1881, un-
der General Brady was $647, 63S. Un-
der James. and Elmore the cost of the
same routes was reduced 10 $121 ,3Gt
and they have been let substantially as
they were after that reduction, but with
faster schedules, for $97, 1874.

These figures are very significant, re-
Numbering that prohibition began May
1, 1881. Now, l have been collecting
various penitentiary statistics which are
of interest in this connection" And
he read off the following figures: The
Iowa penitentiary reports that 60 per
cent. of the criminals in that prison at
tribute their incarceration to liquor.
The Rhode Island prison reports 60 per
cent. due 10 liquor; Georgia, 80 per
cent; Joliet, Illinois. 80 per cent di-
rectly, 33 per cent. indirectly; Oregon,
871S per cent. Connecticut, 70 per cent. !;
Colorado, 90 per cent; Ohio, 60 per
cent. Minnesota, GO per cent; Montana,
so per cent; Concord, New Hampshire,
prison and almshouse, rs per cent. of
crime and ST15 per cent. of pauperism !;
California, 80 per cent; Louisiana, 80
per cent; Texas, GO per cent; Yer
mont, 70 per cent; Michigan City,
Northern Indiana, 70 per cent.
Now these figures were care
fully compiled for me by the war
dOns of the different penitentiaries
named. They mean simply the per
centage of crime attributable 10 liquor,
and in that one sheet of paper there you
have our whole case stated. If those
per centages do not call for prohibition
at the hands OF the state, then the state
has no duty towards society at all. And
you must Tecollect, as the warden of the
Michigan state penitentiary, Mr.. Hum
phrey, says in his letter: II am clear,
however, that it is the whisky drank by
the father TO far greater extent than
that drank by the son that is chargable
with the criminal life of the son. You
may call us fanatics, but if our fanaticism
cuta at those dreadful nor centa rps ia Il
not praiseworthy?
"Yes, but, governor, is it not fact
that prohibition, so far at least, has not
stopped the sale of whisky-has not cut
at these per centages ?"
"The only available test of the amount
OF liquor consumed, per capita, is to be
found by examining the internal revenue
returns. Illinois pays to the general
government, as taxes on distilled and
fermented liquors, per capita, about
$3.50.
