!, regulate and restrict them. The license gives
an air of legality to the business, and, as far
as public opinion will permit it, gives respec-
liability to it. So far our license legis-
lation has promoted and protected the saloon
interest, and therefore it has antggonized the
onward march of sobriety, which is our OBJ
jective point. The legalized saloon system
makes drunkards and promotes the forma-
ton of drinking habits with the concomit-
ants of idleness and every vice. Now, will
anybody tell us what reclaiming good can be
brought out of this system by high license,
or by any other notification? 1 grant that
$1,000 license will dispense with
many OF the low doggeries, but these
are not Where drunkards are made. A high
license will, by pecuniary condition, limit
the monopoly to fewer persons, but will
make it all the more dangerous, for these
will be liable to increase the attractions and
give to the business an air of responsibility
that will decoy the young and thoughtless to
their ruin. To satisfy that class of temper
ance men who think high license will miti-
gate the evil, | am willing that they try the
experiment, but | tremble when | think of
the young men of promise that viii be sacri-
feed in that experiment. You say truly
that neither prohibition nor local
option is within our reach with the pres
ent Legislature; and allow me to add,
nor anything else that will not promote the
interest of the liquor league and retard the
progress of temperance. No modification of
a license law can ever be made that we can
afford to enforce. The license legalizes the
sale under certain restrictions, the violations
of which we must prove. To do this will re-
quire an honest policeman FURNISHED by the
State, probably to watch every sale for each
twenty-four hours; otherwise proof cannot
be made made, and the law would be dead
letter, as all license laws have been. We
have seen enough of abortive license laws

The Commercial Gazette and the County
Press.

The indianapolis Journal exhibits no more love
for the Commercial Gazette than for the old
Commercial, and takes special pains to repub-
lish all adverse comments on the consolidated
cOncern-New Castle Courier.
This Ia certainly a small business for the State
organ OF the Republicans of Indiana to engage
m.-Breokville American.
The American needs light. The Gazette
had contracts with large number of papers
in Indiana to furnish its daily in return for
S12 worth of advertising per annum. The
Indiana papers filled their part of the con
tract, but when the Gazette fell into the arms
of the "stinking old Commerciap' it also
fell from grace" and furnished 81 paper to
nay Sl2 debt. The State Republican organ
is not engaged in small business" in expos
ing such swindle, and deserves the thanks
OF the Indiana papers whose cause it espoused.

Lieut. Colonel Henren's Military Recor,

To tho TdiFor -, the Jnd;anapolis Journal;
l think if General Horace Heffren's record
in the Thirteenth Indiana is fully investi-
gated it will be found just as infamous as
any other part of his history. There were
about five or six officers in that regiment
tainted with rebel sympathy and he was at
their head. | was the youngest soldier in
the regiment, and many things made
deeper impression on my mind
than on the minds of older persons
These officers were inclined to be insubordi-
nate to their superiors, and all or nearly all
OF them were at one time or another put
under arrest by Colonel Sullivan l belle We
all are dead now but Heffren They formed
a kind OF clique and all of them. including
Heffren, resigned as soon as tine regiment be
gan to be baptised by fire l remember dis
tinctly on one occasion l was riding out be-
hind two of these officers as a
kind of orderly, while in the mount aims
in West Virginia. They went to a house
in the mountains and held a consulta-
ton with the head of the family, and while
riding back TO camp one OF them tore man
uscript he brought away into small bits and
| flung them up into the air, as he did so say
| ing: They will have hard time if they get
| these together again"
Hetfren was tyrannical, brutal and inhu-
man to the soldiers, and was so intensely
hated that he certainly would
have been killed by men of
the regiment if he had ever gone into
battle or remained with the command. On
one occasion he jerked a gun out of the
| hands of guard and knocked him down
because he did not perform exactly accord
ing to the army regulations.
Every member OF the original Thirteenth
regiment, 1 think, will certify to the truth of

A Looaloption Law Suggested.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis JOuTnaL
In your weekly issue of Feb 7. you say
that no local-option law can be legal till an
amendment is made of the constitution.
agree with you if the local option is made
to depend on any vote to legal voters. That
was what killed the Baxter law" and the
same thing broke up our graded schools in
Judge Perkins's time. like local option.
Let the majority rule. My plan would be
for the applicant for license to sell liquors
to obtain the names of the majority of the
resident hOuseholders or housekeepers of
any voting precinct, before a license could
be granted This has nothing to do with
legal voters, but includes many widows who
have boys that need protection. Let the
laboring oar be put into the hands of saloon
men; make the conditions in the license as
stringent as possible, holding the saloon man
and his bondsmen responsible for all dam
ages resulting from his business. Hw W.

Appleton & Co., New York Bowen, Stewart
IL Co., indianapolis. Price, 81.
Stories translated from the German by NJ
w. Mcdowell. A series of sketches of life
among the Jewish residents of the village of
Barnow. They are simply told, but with a
pleasing gracefulness, and at times rising to
intensest interest. The author is charged
with being Jew himself, so realistic are his
descriptions of the inner life of this peculiar
and exclusive race. 1t is claimed that no
author not himself Jew could know so
much of their social and religious customs.
These sketches will meet with favor every
where, and will be read with unhaggng in

individuality, they will afford him a very
welcome aid. The book is of The Clerical

however, it did not die out with the vet

the meaning is further intensified by the
