rHr NEW rEmr1nANoE roL1Ur.

The liquor question is exciting more at
tention at the present time than it ever did
before. There is less noise, and there is an
absence OF the brass band, banner, and pro-
cession and hurrah business, but more minds
are considering the liquor problem, and
more wills are determined that the abuse OF
liquor shall cease, than at any former time.
Tae saloon people are indignant that their
business should be interfered with, but they
have not themselves endeavored to sbridge
the evils that have led to the existing state
of feeling with respect to their traffic. They
have associated to resist the temperance agi-
tstioD, but have taken no associative steps
toward checking the disorders that lie! to
that agitation. The liquor traffic has fur
Aished its opponents with all the arguments
they use; its enemies have fired the guns,
but itself has shotted them. The Police
Court, the Jail, the psnitentiary, the hos
pitaI, the abused wife, the neglected child,
the murderer's knife, fallen youth, and the
blasted prospects of mSturer years, are
all producing their effect upon public
sentiment, and that sentiment is bent upon
blotting out an evil that has become
too formidable to be longer borne
with. While agreeing with the aims of the
temperance people, however, the sentiment
OF the day differs from them in policy. Il
sees that the temperance crusaders have
usually satisfied themselves with obtaining
paper bullets against the sale OF liquor, IL
the shape of legislative enactments. The
more serious business is to enforce the law
when enacted, to ferret out the offenders, L
expose those who sell liquor contrary to law
and 10 bring those offenders to the bar o
justice. In this part Of the work the tem

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Doyle, convicted
in Chicago of having in his possession
counterfeit bonds, offers through counsel to
prove conclusively the genuiness of the $1,000
bond plate, how it was obtained and all
about it, provided that the government will
release him from confinement. The present
investigation at the treasury is for the Pur-
pose of determining the character of this
plate, whether it is good transfer work or
merely counterfeit, and if the former, to
ascertain how it was obtained from the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing, and to place
the responsibility where it belongs. Secre-
tary Folger and other treasury officials deny
in the most positive terms that there are any
spurious bonds in circulation, on the ground
that if any were in circulation they certain
ly would have known something about it be-
fore now. Doyle's friends claim that he is
innocent and misjudged in this transaction,
aud that they will prove it to the satisfac-
ton of the government. They state that the
bonds found in Doyle's possession are not
counterfeits, hut bonds printed from genu-
inc plate, the issue of which, however, were
not authorized by law.
