The Gould mausoleum in Woodlawn GEN.
etcry is so far on the way to completion that
last week the final roof slab WAS set in place.
Work on the interior decoration has been be-
gun. The structure is impressive by reason
of its simplicity, harmony of design and
massivencss. Its form is that of an Ionic
temple, raised on platform three steps
above the level OF the sward surrounding 1t.
The workmen say that the foundation Of the
platform IS mass of concrete. that makes ii
practically a single stone eight feet in thick
ness by SO or more in length, and % in width.
The structure is wholly of finely ham,
mcrcd Westerly granite, without a single
band or panel or other surface that is pol
ished. Thirty graceful columns, eleven feet
nigh by thirty inches in dlamater,
surround the mausoleum and add
10 tho support of it, massive roof.
Space for twenty lies is Afford
en- within. In the front of tho tomb will be
a bronze door of Grccian design, pierced so
as to afford view of tho interior. A win
dow representing choir of tangels will 'oc-
cupy the space now left In the rear wall. 1t
Is understood that the inner walls will be of
delcatcy shaded marbles SO us to present
simple and pleasing effects.
No brick or metal is employed in the con-
struction of the tomb excepting the bronze
doors and the necessary lead 10 the window.
1t stands in the center of a Circular plot OF
three or four acres on the highest ground in
the cemetery, in Lawn avenue, near Central
avenue, and is surrounded ONLY by grass,
not a single tree or sarub as yet rising on the
ground.

During tie past year $50 per cent of the
1857 cauionary signals displayed by the
weather bureau have been justified, and SO
per cent of the predictions furnished the
press verified. A service which yields such
good results as this ought not to be crippled,
but extended and made to yield better re-
suits, as it may. The weather is matter
which aifoc,s the Interests of large number
of pcrs ms, and the knowledge of what it is
to be even a dry in advance is certain to re-
pay in dollars and cents wha. it costs to OBJ
lain that knowledge. Gen, Hazens suggcs-
tions should be needed by Congress, and

cy of the signal service which was some

Prohibition las apparently suffered set

Prohibition las apparently suffered a set
back in Iowa. The Republicans carried the
State for governor on prohibition platform,
but while interest in tho contest had been SO
great as to call out an even larger vote than
was poled for President in 1880, the Rcpub-
lcau plurality has been cut down from 49,
900 for Garfield to only $4,000 for Governor
Shermau's reelection. Moreover, while NJ
the election in 1881 the Republicans carried
40 of the SO Senate districts and 70 OF the
100 Representatives, the new Senate Will
consist of 40 Republicans TO 10 Fusionists,
the Democrats and Grcenbackcrs having
combined their forces, while IN the House
the Republicans number but 52 to As opposi-
ton member. A summary of the vote for
Representatives throughout the State shows
dates against but 1914 500 for the Republican
nominees. 1t now appears that, although
the Republicans will control the Legislature,
the prohibition cause has little to hope from
them. A thorough canvass of the members
elect by the Chicago Tribune shows that Il
clear majority of both branches are opposed

Tho UesuIt of the Elections.
From the New York HERALD

Ali sensible managers of the Democratic
party, not in New York only, but over the
whole Union, are busy to-day taking 40
counts of stock and drawing balance sheets
in order to ascertain just how much their
capital is impaired by Tuesdays disasters
and to devise ways and means for the next
business season.
With the exception Of our neighbors of
the World newspaper, who appeared to
think yesterday that these disasters could
be written out of existence, We observe no at
tempt to ignore their very serious character.
In the last Presidential election the electoral
vote of.New York was decisive. Without it
General Hancock was defeated, with 1t he
would have been elected. This State is like
" to hold the same decisive position next
AS TO the effect Of what happened on
Tuesday upon the fortunes OF the Democratic
party in this State it is case for the in
slant and earnest elaboration of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. .-ltrt

THE VERMONT LIQUOR LAW.

The N. Y. independent, in recent issue,
gavo an abstract Of an address Of Mr.. A. II.
Lswton, President of the American Bar
association, at the late meeting of that
association, at Saratoga, on the progress OF
legislation On the liquor question during the
past year, which contains tue following par
graph;
Vermont has passed sweeping and search
ing act amendatory OF her previous lcgisla-
ton ON the subject, which, though not
absolutely prohibitory of all traffic in intox-
eating liquors, puts the traffic under very
severe restrictions and is well calculated to
promote the cause of temperance.
This seems 10 amount TO statement that
Vermont has no ''prohibitory law" but has
recently passed very stringent license law.
If MIR. Lawton made any such statement, he
was quite wide Of the truth. In one sense,
to be sure, no State has au absolutely
prohibltory" law-that is TO say all the rro-
hibltory laws. SO called, permit sales of
liquors anil alcohol, by authorized agents,
for medicinal, mechanical and chemical
purposes. The traffic in intoxicating liquors,
for any other purpose, aud by any other
persons than the legally appointed agents, is,
aud has been for the last quarter of GEN.
tury, absolutely prohibited in Vermont. This
prohibitory feature has not been essentially
modified in the last twenty five years. The
law has been somewhat stiffcned by the ad-
di'ion of civil damage clauses, and raising
of the penalties; but no sweeping" change
or amcndmcn, was passed by the last leg
islaturc. Our law is and has been all along
a true prohibilory law in the accepted mean
Ing of the term. With the closing assertion,
above, that it is swell calculated to promote
the cause Of temperance" We do not quarrel.
