favor the plan; others oppose it. Mr..
Blaine's plan is to abolish the state
taxes by distributing amongithe states
the receipts derived from the tax on
beer and Whiskey 1t is found, on in
yestigation, that the total.state taxes
Of all the states in the Union last year
amounted to r$52. 000, 10000. The tax
receipts derived from the sale of beer
and whiskey last year amounted to
$50 100000, leaving an excess of $780,
100000, which may be applied to the
payment of county taxes. By the plan
proposed, the beer and Whiskey reye-
nue. would pay both the state and
county taxes in ten states; in several
other states nearly so. This is GER
tainly novel method of using the
revenues derived from the sale Of beer
and Whiskey. In other words, let those
who are welded to these int0xicants
indirectly pay the state taxes. The
scheme proposed by Mr.. Blaine viii
doubtless be much discussed by The
people, and perhaps various conclu
sions arrived at. Some may object tx
paying the ordinary taxes due the state
from such source. AS question Of
morals, it is just as proper to have
these revenues applied to the payment
of state and county taxes as to any
other legitimate purposes.

CONGRESS.

Both Houses Of Congress convened
at the Capitol in WasIir gton on Nom
day last; the Presidents message was
delivered on Tuesday. The new House
of Representatives stands politically as
follows: 1914 Democrats, 10 Republic
cans, Independents Greenback ers,
and Readjusters. In the Senate there
is Republican majority Of two. The
Democratic majority in the House is SO
overwhelming, that the party can have
matters its own way in whatever re
lates to the interests Of that body alone
1t is probably fortunate for the country
that the House has no power to legis
late without the concurrence of the Sen
ate; the agreement of that body and
the approval Of the President are nee
essary to the enactment Of law. i
is reasonable to conclude that thu
Democratic House will attempt nj
legislation having political bearing
for its approval would be impossible
There is no pressure for general legis
lation, except perhaps some further at
tention to the Mormon trouble. Every
thing has been running smoothly sinc'
the last Republican Congress adjourn
ed, and if the Democrats will consen
to pass the necessary appropriation
bills, leave other matters just wher'
they found them when they assembled
adjourn and go home, they will hay,
the thanks of all political parties.

MODERN SCRAMBLING r OR OF
FTCE- CHANGES THE PAST
FIFTY YEARS.

In the late contest for the Office OF
Speaker of the House of Representa-.
tives at Washington there was an ex-
citing scramble for the position. The
candidates each had his headquarters
where the business of soliciting votes
was conducted with great energy
This was simply a game between the
aspirants as to which could f1atter and
coax the most supporters; little or nc
principle was involved III the matter
The friends of each were in the mar.
ket, ready to go over to which ever
side promised them the greatest per
sonal advantage. 1t is hardly hall
century ago when candidates for the
office of Speaker of the House stood
aloof and refrained from entering into
the arena of strife for the position
Those days of decent proprietles will
probably never come back again
Modesty in office seekers has become
obsolete; clamorous beggary has taken
its place. Randall: Carlisle and Cox
had neither the sense of propriety
which in former times governed The
action OF better men, but each rushed
for the prize with the eagerness which
canine animals strive for a bone.
Candidates for Office half century
ago lad the decency to stand aside an6

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN FRANCE

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN FRANCE.
The United States must look well to
their educational laurels. France is
considerably in advance, especially in
the establishment of free schools of
purely secular instruction. The friends
of education in this country, after a
long sleep of contentment to let our
schools run in the old way, simply edu-
eating the head without the hand, are
beginning to wake and rub their eyes,
to enquire about the educational move
ment to connect book studies with use
full occupations. The following ex-
tract shows what is being done in
France
France proposes to spend OH her
public schools during the coming year
the sum OF $26,S0O,00O. Besides this
the municipalities have been author
lied to expend about hundred million
dollars for school houses and appara-
tus, and the general Government has
introduced tie principle of free schools
of purely secular instruction, and of
compulsory attendance in the common
schools From 1878 to 1881 there were
established 3,445 boys schools, 1851
girls schools, 2,207 mixed schools, and
a like number of schools was enlarged
or rebuilt. France now has $4,000
qualified teachers and 100000 pupils.

PROHIBITION.

Whoever has watched the currents
of public opinion the past few months
must be satisfied that we are much
further from prohibition now than one
year. ago. Tn the states where cleo
tions were held last October, the pro.
hibltion vote has fallen off from the
previous year. In Massachusetts, at
the election last year, the vote for the
prohibition ticket was 2,1OO; this year
it was 1000, being 500 less than last
year. Last year the prohibition vote
Tin the state of New York was 25,723;
this year it was $1,000. In the other
states where prohibition was made an
issue, there was a falling off of the
prohibition vote. John B. Cough has
been engaged in temperance work the
past forty years. He is widely known
as one Of the most eloquent advocates
of total abstinence in this country;
his sincere devotion to the cause Of
temperance will not be questioned.
In a late interview published in the
Cleveland Leader he said:
"The remark that prohibition does
prohibit is a very foolish one to me.
True, prohibition gives the power to
the people to stop the sale of drink,
but prohibition, without public senti-
ment to back it, will no more prohibit
than fire engine will extinguish a
contiagration without working. Pro-
hibiti0n is based on antagonism to
drink, and when there is a sentiment
in favor Of drinking, prohibition is al
most impossible. / have just come
from Maine, and where the liquor law
is enforced the change is marvellous,
especially in hotels. In Bangor the
sentiment is so feeble that bar-rooms
sell openly. / have given this ques-
ton forty years of thought
There are other legal remedies for
suppression of the liquor traffic, of
which the friends of temperance should
avail themselves. and not wait for the
far-off constitutional prohibition. I'll
advantage were taken of the laws now
on the statute book, before the end of
another year every liquor saloon in
the state might be closed, provided a |
majority of the people really desired
such result. To accomplish this, let
boards of excise be elected who are
opposed to the granting of license for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. There
is no law compelling boards of excise
to grant licenses; the Supreme Court |
of the state has declared that the
granting of license by the board of ex-
else is discretionary power; it may |
grant or withhold as it sees fit. The |
law of the state is sufficiently stringent
if faithfully executed; selling without |
license incurS a fine of not less than
ten or more than forty dollars and cost |
of suit. For the second offense like
penalty is incurred, and SO on for every /
subsequent violation. The liquor sell
er would be liable to d separate suit
for every day in the year if he should
persist in violatin gthe law so many
days. Friends OF temperance will say

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message Of President Arthur is
a business-like document, and out
spoken on all the prominent questions
now before the country. The Presi-
dent cannot be charg ed with being
non-committal on any Of the interests
which are likely to come before Con-
gress for consideration. The message
is not as long as some by former
Presidents, but quite long enough.
Not one-half of the people read long
Presidents message through. The
constitution of the U. S. declares
The President shall, from time to
time, give to Congress information of
the state of the Union, and recommend
to their consideration such measures
as lie shall deem necessary and expe-
dent All this can be done without
entering into long and elaborate argu-
ments to enforce his recommendation
The following comment of the Chi
cago Journal on the prolixity of Presi-
dents and Governors messages is
quite in place:
Whenever weread a Presidents or
a Governors Message, we wonder that
its author did not condense the docu-
ment to easy-reading dimensions. The
longer it is, the fewer readers it has.
The Queens speech at the opening of
the British Parliament is a good model
for the construction of official address
es of this character. 1t presents the
various subjects of Governmental in
terests in a few concise paragraphs.
and that is all the President should be
expected to do when framing his An
nual Message. While Mr.. Arthur's
Message is not as lnordinately long
and elaborate as many of those of his
predecessors have been, yet practiced
journalistic paragraphist could have
condensed it at least one-half, without
emitting anything that ought to have
been said and then it would have
had thousands Of readers where now
it will not have hundreds.

FOR THE WINTER EVENINGS.

FOR THE WINTER EVENINGS,
1t is gratifying to notice the enter
prising spirit in some of the neighbor-
ing cities and villages in making suit
able arrangements for intellectual Ell.
tertainments during the winter season.
Lectures, lyceums and other exercises,
calculated to enlarge the sphere of in
telligence and ennoble the mind, are
receiving attention. Such efforts are
deserving of encouragement, and
speak we'll for the intelligence of the
people where they are patronized. A
little more enterprise in these matters
in Kenosha would prove advantageous
to young men as well as those in mid
die life. Thirty years ago this city oc-
cupied the front rank in sustaining
lectures, lyceums and INSTRUCT re en-
tertainments. 1t is true there is now
apparently no lack of amusements;
there are none too many evenings in
the week for occupancy; the time is
filed up. Dancing parties. card and
whist parties, chess, backgammon,
checkers, fox and geese, blind mans
buff, all help to occupy the fleeting
hours. These will all do where no
higher order Of intellectual advantages
are craven.

Carlisle, Of Kentucky, has been
chosen speaker of the House. Now
what of it? He was brought out as q
free-trade candidate, yet while he be-
longs to the free-trade school in theory,
he dare not be free-trader in practice.
Taking the chair, upon being elected
to the office Of Speaker, he made dec
laration of his principles as follows:
"Sudden and radical changes in laws
and regulations affecting the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of the peo-
pie ought never to be made unless inn
peratively demanded for some public
emergency, and, in my opinion, under
existing circumstances, such changes
would not be favOrably received by
any considerable number Of those who
have given serious attention to the sub
iect,"
Now this is just what the friends of
the present tariff ask. 1t is simply to
make no material changes in the tar
if as enacted by Congress last session.
But what will those free-trade journals
say who have been denouncing the
present tariff, charging it as fraud
imposed on the people by the last Con-
gress? If the free-trade Carlisle is
honest in his declarations, he will so
constitute his committees that no at
tempt at radical changes will be made.
What will become of the free-trade ma
tional issue, upon which the Democratic
party was to go before the people in
the Presidential election in the fall of
1884? The first attempt to inaugurate
a national free-trade movement by the
election of a free-trade speaker has
proved failure, provided Carlisle
stands fast to his public declaration on
Monday last.
