THE "bosses and the halls" of
New York, are in great commotion over
the impending distribution of patronage
by Mayor Edison, who is bound within the
next fortnight to nominate no fewer than
six big salaried commissioners, or heads
of departments, to take the place of a
corresponding number whose terms are
about to expire. 1t is easy enough to
nominate, but it is not SO easy to persuade
the alderman to confirm, unless candidates
pledge themselves in advance to take care
of the respective followers and retainers
of the city fathers.
SENATOR HUMEs, in the vigorous prose-
cution of his inquiries into past state
treasury management, will Introduce a
resolution calling upon the state treasurer
to report why he has not certified to the
sinking fund all money in the general fund
in excess of $500, 900, as required by the
act of 1874. Humes says that the report
| for April showed in the hands of the
state treasurer from moneys of general
revenue, apart from the amounts payable
to the sinking fund, 81, ,s35, ,9OS 40. Under
the most liberal construction of the act,
Humes holds that the state treasures
should at once certify to the sinking fuut
at least s1,5OO,0O0.
THE advance statement issued by thu
treasury department, Of domestic bread
stuffs exported for the nine months ending
March 81 last, shows an increase over tn
corresponding nine months of the preced
ing year of nearly $50, 200, 900, the valua
ton for the nine months of the curren
fiscal year being over sl67, 900. 900. Mos

The boulevard des Italiens in Paris was
derous scene, by which tho lives Of three
people were imperilled and for which no
serious explanation can be given. About
half-past four q Prussian named Atoch-
oller, who is known on the Bourse, drew
a revolver on police agent named Marc
SELF, who was standing in front of the
Passage de POpera. and would have shot
him but for the interference of the by
ISLANDERS, vino threw themselves upon him.
He contrived, nevertheless, to dis
charge six shots, by which three
persons were severely wounded:
Their names arc NM. Cussac and
Feard and Nine. Allaire. All three
were dangerously wounded. From inquiry
which has been instituted it appears that
after quitting the Bourse Atocholler re-
paired to shooting gallery in the Passage
de POpera. where he practised until four
o'clock. Then no loaded his revolver and
attacked Maroselli on leaving the Passage
without any explainable motive. 1t is
supposed that the attempt was committed
in a moment of mental arrangement
caused by losses in the Bourse. When in
the hands of the police the prisoner kept
repeating that the French were dogs and
that he was glad he had killed one OF
them.
| Italian Tobacco.
During a discussion in the Chamber of
Deputies at Rome, Thursday, on the sub
ject of tobacco culture, SignOr Magliana,
minister of finance, declared that thu gov
ernment firmly intended to encourage the
home cultivation of that plant and would
grant large bounties for the purpose, but
the people, he said, must not del;,de them
selves that Italy would ever overcome
American competition in this branch O
competition.

To MAKE Coop LAND DEEDS.

To MAKE Coop LAND DEEDS.
An act to authorize the several coun-
ty clerks in the state to execute
deeds for lands sold at the delin
Qucnt land sales in certain cases.
WHEREAS, In many cases county
clerks in many counties in this state
have heretofore executed deeds for
lands sold at delinquent tax sales
which said deeds are void by reason
Of showing upon their face, that two
or more tracts Of land were sold to-
gether, as recently decided by the
supreme court of this state, when in
fact said tracts were sold separately
as required by law at the time of the
sale, and,
Whereas, 1t is unjust that the
purchaser Of said land should suffer
because Of the misprison of said
county clerks, Therefore,
BE it enacted by the general as.
scmbly of the state of Arkansas:
SECTION !. That upon the presen-
tation of any such void tax deed to
the clerk of the county court of the
county in which said lands were sold
for taxes, and said clerk being salts
fed from the records of his office,
that the several tracts of land con.
tanned in said deed were sold sepa-
rately, said county clerk shall file
said void deed in his office and cam
eel the same, aud shall, therefor, ex-
ecute in lieu therefor, deed for said
tracts of land reciting the execution
of the former deed, the date thereof,
the error therein, that each tract was
sold separately, and the amount for
which each tract was sold, and, in all
other respects. conform to the re-
of law.
SEC. .. That said deed, when exc
cuted, as hereinbefore provided, shall
relate back to said void deed and
have the same force and effect, both
in law and equity, as If executed ON
the same day.
SIC. 3. That this act take effect
and be in force from and after its
passage.

tual way Go restrain on evil which it
contends cannot be put down. We
are wiliing to admit that this plan
would make the traffic more respect.
able, by placing men of larger means
III control of it, who IN order to be-
able to fill the necessary bond
would be compelled to keep better
order But there Is another side to
the question. The more respectable
the drinking house the greater will
be the number of dram drinkers
Dram drinkers make drunkards.
These dram drinkers, respectable
sfen, go to respectable places to get
their drinks, aud in the first stages
of the habit at least, will not 90 to II
disrepuiable or low down den. After
a while, however, the habit gets so
strong, or the circumstances Of the
man becomes SO Strengthened, that
he will go anywhere to get that which
he thinks he cannot do without. The
men who have gone thus far cannot
be restrained by pFohibitory laws or
anything else, and nine ont of ten of
them will die confirmed drunkards
or confirmed DRINKERS.
But this is rot the class that pro-
hlbition people cSpec, to benefit. 1t
is those who have not become addict.
ed to the habit our young men and
boys. Keep it out of their way or
make it SO disreputable that their
sense Of honor will revolt at the idea
of induIging. Put whiskey in guild
ed halls with high-toned gentlemen
to sell II and you at once make the
traffic respectable. Respectable peo-
pie step up to the bar and drink /; the
unsuspecting young are thus induced
to enter upon course that will final
ly end in a drunkard's grave, who
would never have been induced to
visit the low slums where the LIQUID
poison is dealt out The prohibition
advocates do not hope 20 reform the
present generation Of drunkards, but
they believe they can do something
towards educating the rising genera
ton TO be sober men.
1t aims at this by making the traf-
6c disreputablc, by closing if posi-
BILE, the doors Of the whiskey shops
and compelling those who have ac-
quired the unconquerabIe thirst for
the stuff, to seek il in ''blind tigers"

get it. Yes, we want to avoid ifpos-

feel discouraged however, when we
see such able and influential papers
as the Gazette advocate line of poll
icy calculated to render the traffic
more respectable. The dealers them
selves admit that it is an evil. They
cannot do otherwise. The Gazette
does no more, and bitterly as it may
deny it, the policy that it advocates
is the strongest that could be used
to increase the traffic and swell the
army now crowding the way to
drunkards' graves and drupkar,ls'
