LOCAL MATTERS.

Petitions to the County Court, from
Arbuckle District, to prohibit hogs
from running at large in said Dis.
trict, are coming in. 1t is estimated
by those interested that such a pro.
hibition will save annually large
amount Of money in fencing, and in
the hill portion Of the district, when
the timber has been sold off and rails
hard to get, it will be worth much
money to the owner Of such lands
Besides if hill lands are not TO be
fenced against hogs, it can be done for
half the money it will require tc
build "pig tight" fences.

Encts for prohihitionists.

The Massachusetts Prohibitionsts are
still going through the motions. Never
was there such barefaced fraud as was
prohibition in Massachusetts,. While the
law was in existence there il was n mere
bit of moral venecring. At each of the
leading hotels in Boston there was n bar,
the locality of which was as well known
to all who desired access to it, whether
guests or strangers, rs was that of the
barbcr-shop. The wine-list on the
bills Of inre was as extensive and the
service as open and undisguised as
at any hotel in New York or Paris.
And yet, to satisfy the teetotalers all
this was forbidden by law under sever
est penalties. Not only so, but in order
to insure the enforcement of the law, des-
pite the Indifference of the Boston po-
lice, the legislature created State con-
stabulary. The State constables were to
represent the virtuous State of Massa-
chusetts in the vicious city of Boston.
The writer of this asked one of these
State constables how Mr.. So-and-So,
then just elected to the State senate in n
very close district, stood on this question
of prohibition, as he was known to
have been voted for by people on both
sides "Oh !" answered the officer, he
was moderate ProiiJitioniSi" :" We once
said to one of Massachusetts most noted
public men-an ex-governor and cX-Con-
gressman-" General, how is it that in
Ctot tl,n,a 10, IN il,itnr, Ia, al
yet nearly every other door of every
block adjacent to your railroad depots
and wharves leads into common grog-
gery out of which men reel in various
stages of intoXication?" "Oh," he re-
piled roguishly, "you don't understand
it. Our law forbids the sale of liquor
therefore, whoever sells it does so with
out the consent of the State of Mas
sachusctts." In brief, the law ap-
peared to be intended to please
the temperance people without dis
comnloding the rumsellers and tip
piers. 1t was the tribute which political
cunning and hypocrisy paid both to virtue
and TO vice-of precept to the formcrand
of practice to the latter The simple.
minded and true believed the State was
honestly for water, while the better in
formed knew it was impartially for rum
and water. Thus was, for a long time
realized in the severely moral politics Of
that State the dream of those who prayed
that they might "enioy all the pleasures
of vice and all the rewards of virtue
All of which went to show that under
the rule of human beings human nature
will assert itself. 1t was S1ueers who re
marked, with his usual accuracy Hu
man natur' is rum 'un."
The temperance people may eventually
combine on measures for the regulation
of the liquor trade. Its prohibition ha!
not yet been found possible.

THE contest in Pennsylvania has mar
rowed down TO two sides-the Demo-
era ic and Republican. Mr., Stewart is in
no ense a candidate before the Repub-
lean party. He has disdained to sub
nit the question of his candidacy TO the
Republican voters of the State. His in
Yitation TO General Beaver to meet him
on the stump is simply ridiculous. He
wants the Importance which would be
given him by the mere fact of his being
considered an antagonist. He is in no.
body's way but his own. Any who would
favor him now, would do so to avoid
making record of voting for a Demo-
crat. Such timid ones as dare not vote
directly for Patterson will hardly vote Mt
all, BY staying away from the polls
they save themselves alive, politically, to
join whichever party the election shall
show to be the strongest 1t is not prob
able that Stewart will receive more than
half the vote given to Wolfe last year.
