Ohio, after having tried prohibition
and anti-license laws, has adopted the
system of regulating the retail traffic
in intoxicating drinks by. a rather
stringent license law. The license
varies in amount. When drinking
place is not in village or city, MOI
within one mile thereof, the license is
800; in a village with population
of less than 1000, or within one mile
thereof. $3.50; in a village of more
than 1000 and less than 10000. 5000.
in the cities Of the second class. the
smaller cities, or within two miles
thereof, $3.50; and in cities of the first
class Cincinnati and Cleyeland). the
larger cities, or within two miles
thereof, $500. The money is collected
by the county, which retains one-third
and turns over tWo-thirds to the city
or village within the limits of which
the collection has been made. Tn adj
dition to the tax, every saloonkeeper
is required to file bond with local
real estate security in the sum of ST.
900, to assure his faithful performance
of all the conditions of the act.
Among these conditions is the prohi-
bition of the sale of liquor to minors.
The effect of such a law will be to
close a good many of the smaller

Attorney General Brewster recently
wrote a letter to the United States dis
trict attorney, in South Carolina, de-
cl3ring that the right Of suffrage
must be protected and frauds upon the
ballot-box vigorously prosecuted. The
letter has fired the Southern heart
anew in that state. There is no pre-
tence even that frauds are not syste-
maticalIy perpetrated at the elections
in order practically to nullify the votes
Of the negroes. This fact has been adj
mitted in Congress by a representative
Of South Carolina, and defended as
necessary to maintain the ascendancy
Of the white element and preserve
good government. Trials of some
election cases come on this week and
the Charleston NeUs and Courier, in
view of the Attorney Generals letter,
appeals to the ballot-box suffers in the
following STYLE
The people must prepare at once,
and teach the stalWart conspirators
that, neither through the agency of
prosecutions, nor by wolves in sleeps
clothing, nor by soft talking, shall this
state be put in position to be African
lied again. The place to begin is right
in the United States Circuit Court
next week. Let the accused election
officers feel and see that the state is
with them. Let every one of the ac-
cused understand Enthusiastically that
his cause is the cause of civilization,
social order and good government, and
that the Indictment of South Carroll
mans, to serve the ends of the stall
warts, is an attempt to indict whole
people.
A South Carolina Republican who
was interviewed by a New York re-
porter the other day said that Mr..
BreWster's letter had greatly intensi-
fed the partisan feelings of the Dem
ocrats of that state, and that no Dem
ocratic juryman would now dare to
vote for the conviction of any person
accused of ballot-box stuffing, no mat
ter how clear and conclusive might be

The Ohio legislature, controlled by
the Republicans, recently passed what
is known as the Pond liquor bill-a
high-license measure, taxing the sa-
looms in the principal cities in that
state $500 each. 1t is an eminently
wise and proper restrictive measure.
But of course there is opposition. Tia
keepers of the low doggeries are deter
mined to "boycott" the men and the
party who secured its enactment
Each doggery has its clique of sup
porters; when combined, they are a
mighty engine for wreaking political
revenge. AS usual in such contests,
the Ohio saloon keepers are backed by
the money and influence" of their
fellows in other states. Whenever
laws are passed which affect their in
tereSts, no class in any community ID
so impudent, so .lOud-mOuthed, so bit
ter in their opposition; and being, by
the nature of their traffic, interested in
gutter politics and welding a certain
undefinable power over the bulk OF
their deluded patrons, they know how
to manage a political boycotting ma
chine with great success. In the mu-
nicipal elections in Ohio, yesterday. the
whiskey vendors were out in full force
the machine operated with it's peculiar
methods at every polling place, and
the result was what was known it
would be beforehand general defeat
for Republicanism, for sobriety, for
law and for order. This is the "grand
Democratic victory" of yesterday, in
the Buckeye state. This is what the
journals of the Democracy exultingly
announce as ga crushing rebuke" to
Ohio Republicanism. The Democracy
is welcome to such victories. Repub-
licanism, conscious of being right, can
stand such crushing rebukes till dooms-
day. Wisconsin State Journal.

Bishop Payne. Senator BishNp of the
African Episcopal Church, and Presi-
dent Of the Wherefore University, has
just had reminder Of the old spirit of
slavery. While travelling through
Florida DR.. Payne was elected from the
train because he would not go into a
second-class car labeled "for cOlored
people" and although he is II years of
age and had tWenty-nine pounds of
luggage, he had to walk five miles back
to Jacksonville, whence he started.
The car for colored people is a filthy
smoking vehicle, that might we'll be
termed a cattle car, and in Florida and
Georgia alone, but in no other State,
are colored men and women driven
into such a car. 1T is high time for
public agitation when a colored Doctor
of Divinity, with frst-class ticket, is
forced either to walk or ride in an I'M
clean smoking car. 1t takes time for
"chattles' to become men endowed
with rights. But we are making pro-
gress, and education will do more than
a lawsuit towards correcting the evil,
and yet it would not be a bad thing to
apply a little law to such cases. Inter
