Violation Of the Local Option Law

Mr.. Editor 1T will be remembered that
local option was carried in this county by a
very large majority, and l can testify by &C.
tual observation that it has been productive
Of much good, even along the border of
Frederick county, where the circumstances
are unfavorable, and yet we hear the enc
mics Of that law asserting that it is doing
no good because it is being extensively vio-
lated
Doubtless such men would have all the
criminal laws on our statute books repealed,
as there is scarcely law existing that is not
violated. Should not this state of affairs
stimulate every friend of local option to ex-
ert himself to the utmost of his ability to
aid in the punishment of every offender
The March Term of the Circuit Court is
near, and hereby appeal to every friend Of
temperance, sobriety and good order in So
ciety TO have every witness summoned before
the Grand Jury whom he has reason to be-
lieve will give evidence calculated 10 lead
to the conviction of the guilty parties.
In a conversation held with an intern
perate man, short time since, who had
lately removed TO place near whiskey
saloon, | took occasion TO congratulate him
on the convenience he would now enjoy in
regard to drink, when he assured me it was
almost as handy to him anywhere else in the
county as there, giving me to understand
the enemies of local option were. determined
TO defeat the will OF the people.
REFORM.

ANOTHER APPEAL.

Instead Of the agitation which has been
carried on so fiercely and 80 successfully for
the past few years, the cry again comes up
from Ireland that the people are starving
The repeated failure Of crops, the adjust.
ment of new conditions between landlord
and tenant, the impoverlshment Of the soil
and the long list of wrongs incident to mis-
government-these are the causes, near and
remote, and hungry people are the results.
But whatever the causes may be, whoever
may be blamed for their existence and how
ever they may be removed, the call Tor
prompt action on the part of both philan-
thropists and statesmen is imperative. Ii is
grave fault eli the English Government
that il does not keep on hand fund with
which 10 meet these continually recurring
famines They have come with CHASTITY
regularity since 1916, and the direct result
is that the population of Ireland is nearly
three millions smaller than 1t was them
Yet the government is always unprepared
for a new one, SO dependence must be placed
upon the ready open hand Of private
charity.
America has never been backward in such
a work, and this is no time TO hesitate 1t
ought only be necessary TO know that cold
and hunger have overtaken a people through
no fault of their own, and relief ought to
be sent them as quickly as possible. Much
money has been sent TO Ireland To assist in
carrying on political agitation, and il is
still better to send relief to hungry people.

The temperance wave has struck West
Virginia with full force. On Teesday of
last week bill providing for submitting to
vote Of the people of the State constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the manuiac-
ture and sale of intoxicants passed the lower
house of the General Assembly by vote of
40 ayes to IA nays, after spirited opposi-
ton from the liquor interest The indica-
tons are that the measure will pass the SEN
ate by an equally decisive vote, that body
being reported as standing 20 to 8 in favor
of the proposed amendment. The Germans
Of Wheeling and the liquor men through
out the State will do all in their power to
obstruct the passage of the bill by the Sen.
ate, but according to the local press their
efforts will be futile. The opinion is that
the amendment, if submitted to the people,
will be adopted, the temperance and prohi-
bition elements apparently being in the ma
jority. OF the fifty-four counties in the
State, forty-one now forbid the sale of in
toxicants.

TIE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

The expected crash has come, the minis
try has resigned and their designations have
been accepted. The crisis has arrived, and
republican institutions in France will be
strained to their utmost. The organ OF the
legitimists declares that there is thorough
organization Of all friends of the bourbon
dynasty, the Bonapartists are organized
as never before, socialistic disturbances are
threatened in Lyons, and amid all these
complications President Grevy, frightened,
III and discouraged, has been called upon
10 form new ministry. From what we
are able 70 learn Of the material he has OF
disposal, 1t would seem impossible to ap.
point any ministers who will work together
or can long retain the confidence Of the PEG.
pie, and II would not be altogether unex-
pected II President Grevy should resign his
Office and leave the people to find their way
out OF their difficulties as best they may.
The main trouble with the French re.
public ia that il is only in name a republic !;
. France is still in that social condition which
Spencer calls the militant, wherein the state
is everything and the individual is nothing,
where the cooperation between the people
is compulsory and not voluntary, and so
the republic rests on a very unstable foun.
dation.
Amid the conflicting claimants for the
control of France, no one man possesses
strength enough to seize upon the govern.
ment, 80 that the republic may yet have an
other trial, and il may also prove that among
the republicans there are stronger men than
wehad imagined, who in this emergency may
come To the front. France has been a CON
slant surprise to Europe, when. after the
German occupation, she seemed annihlated.
with wonderous rapidity she regained the
lost ground and fastened forward to re.
sumo her proper position Out of the present
complications way may be found to greater
power than ever. Mean while the crisis ia
of great interest, and the eyes Of all Europe
are again turned TO Paris, so often the theatre
OF intensely interesting dramas No nation
ia Europe has so often as France challenged
the attention Of the world with such sudden
changes in government and In position

Governor Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, has

offices and the substitution Of salaries for the

that the present mode Of compromising off,

ously extravagant. The Governor has per-
formed his duty in urging this reform; but

The past month was a remarkable one for
its casualties, resulting in great loss of life
and immense destruction Of property. More
than one thousand people have met with
violent deaths since the year began, and the
daily consumption of property by fire has
been over 100000, one.half of which may
be regarded as total loss To the owners
This waste of human life and property was
in most cases the result of ignorance or
carelessness, or both combined, and cupidity
and selishness may properly be added tc
the formula.
