BY the operation of the license system of
the State OF Missouri, there are about forty
counties of that State in which there is not a
liquor saloon And yet we are told by
those who prefer free whisky because they
cannot secure prohibition at once, that the
resources of license have been exhausted in
Indiana" The real truth is that the re-
sources of license have never been tried in
this State. In the present condition of af-
fairs, with the public mind aroused as never
before to the evils incident to the traffic in in
toxicating l2nors, and with no possibility of
prohibitory or local-option legislation by the
present General Assembly, the Journal Is
earnestly in favor of testing the resources of
the license system-testing them honestly
and sincerely We want a law passed by the
friends OF Temperance restriction, and not a
law made at the dictation of the liquor in

Lonise Montague, the Forepaugh Beauty

Louisville-Courer Journal Yesterday.
She was in railroad disaster at Bowling
Green, in this State, when two men were
killed at her feet and the calf of her leg was
pierced by a splinter. She brought suit
against the L.. & N. railroad through her
lawyer, Col. r. w. Woolley, for $25 900
damages. She left the city for the East,
telling her attorney that she would be back
in time for the trial. Her lawyer went ahead
with the case taking testimony at distance,
and his heart touched with sympathy for the
tender but symmetrical limb.
When the case was called in court, the fair
but tickle Venus failed to materialize, and a
railroad attorney announced that the case
had been compromised. Her sorrows had
been soothed and settled for $500. Her at
torney Was not appraised of the compromise,
nor ever received cent for his work i'll her
case.
Now she is in the courtroom again, She
has fine figure and is altogether lovely to
look at but rs fierce as a leopardess when
aroused. She made her first appearance in
Louisville ut the Knickerbocker Theater as q
variety actress. She was extensively adver-
tised as the Ten Thousand-dollar Beauty"

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION

Inc purpose of the Republicans in the
present Congress is to modify the tariff and
to reduce the volume of taxation. In this
they are thwarted by the Democrats, who
have thus far prevented any action in this
direction. Without majority in the SEN
ate and not real working majority in the
House, Republicans are largely at the mercy
of party hostile to these reforms Ii the
Democratic congressman are sincere in their
profession of desire for the needed reform
in the tariff system, it is in their hands to
allow it to be accomplished But IL as is
apparent, they are not willing to modify the
tariff without sweeping it wholly away, so
far as protection, they will delay action on
this vital issue until it is too late to accom-
plish anything this session. What
the result will be the public will
very readily guess. With the advent
OF a Democratic Congress pledged to hostile
legislation, American industries will be i'm
perilled as never before and the harm done
will be incalculable. Any sudden or violent
reduction of the tariff in certain directions
will paralyze if not kill important industries,
now but gaining a foothold after years OF
expensive experiments. Thousands of EN-
ployes, now receiving living wages,
will be turned adrift or be compelled to
accept pay that cannot keep them and their
families from actual suffering. From this
the distress will be widespread and no bust
ness will escape the evil effects. The Journal
does not wish to assume the role
of an alarmist but the indications are SO
plain that it were little less than
criminal to let it come upon the country I'M
heraded. Put Democratic freetrade ideas
into immediate practice. and disaster will be
universal. Cause and effect were never more
closely identified than are these two The
Republican programme is to avoid danger
and still secure reform, cautiously and with
due elaboration. Taxation must be reduced,
and this can be done by judiciously tighten
ing the tariff burdens This was the purpose
of the report of the tariff commission, and
is now the purpose OF the Republican party.
The only obstacle in the way is strong and
hostile Democratic minority in Congress
that will become dangerous majority on
and after the 4th of March next The public
are not blind to the attitude of Democracy,
nor will the people be Mt loss to place the
responsibility where it belongs.

IT now seems possible that the Phoenix
Park assassins have at last beer apprehended,
though nearly nine months have elapsed
since the commission of that dastardly crime.
The identification OF Cavanaugh as the driver
of the car seems beyond doubt and the evil
dence is drawing closer and still closer about
the men now in durance with him as accom-
plices 1t is to be hoped that the perpetra-
tors OF that cowardly and infamous outrage
are really apprehended, and that justice
shall eventually be dealt out to them. The
maintena-c &C of law and order in Ireland is
the first step toward deliverance from the
anarchy under which she has labored. Ire.
land has suffered more at the hands of self
constituted friends and indicators than from
any outside pressure. The assassinations,
murders, and fnumberess minor crimes
have done more to keep Ireland
down than all that England has

necessity be under one government Eng

mile. Leonie Leon" he savs-it will be
noticed that he speaks of her as an unmar-
ried woman-'is the daughter of an officer
of high rank who died seye raj years ago.
She is now about thirty'five years old. Her
face though not beautiful, is exceedingly
expressive and sympathetic, and she is in
telligent and we'll educated. At the time of
the war with Germany she conceived for
Gambetta an ardent admiration, and in 1872
she wrote to him. This led to an interview,
and from that time to the end their CORE
spondence and their intimacy continued
without interruption. But they saw each
=, other very rarely and nearly always at
Vile d Array, where he hardly received aEy-
one save Mile. Leon. Nevertheless, they ex-
changed letters daily, and those who knew
Gambetta best say that these letters con-
tanned a complete record of his life, his labors
aud his thoughts during the last ten
years of his life. Mile. Leon was in
the habit of giving him an account of
foreign journals and books, which she read
diligently for this purpose The question of
marriage was several times mentioned be-
tween them. But for long time the lady,
hearing that Gambettas influence might be
thereby impaired refused to become his
wife. Last autumn, however, 1T was finally
decided that they should be married, and of
this several persons were informed. Ali that
has been said of rupture, of violent scenes,
and so forth, is false. 1t is equally false that
Gam beta is the father of an ilegitimate
child. The young man who is supposed to
be his son is seventeen years old, and the
nephew of Mile. Leon, who had undertaken
to provide for his education. 1t was TO visit
tins youth, whose name is Massabie. that
Gambetta and Mile. Leon went to
Dresden where Massabie was at school in
1881. This was not the only journey they
made together. In 1878 they were in Canton
Wand, in the Valais. and the region of the
Italian lakes. She was with Gambetta inn
mediately after the accident which had so
terrible an ending; from that moment she
never left him, and until he drew his last
breath nursed him with unstinted devotion"
