ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April ia tornado swept
over portion of Arkansas earl on Saturday
morning which did great damage to property.
Some ten miles west of Ozark forests were
Frustrated and houses were lifted from their
foundations F. H. Piser, postmaster at
White Oak Station, lost his store and dwell
ing. Three hundred dollars in currency were
scattered by the winds. Several other dwell
ing-houses at the station were overturned:
The storm averaged three miles in width and
was accompanied with heavy fall of hail
stones.
Further west, on the line of the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad, the effects OF the
storm were equally severe, and several per

No Abatement of Revenue from the
Liquor Traffic.

c. Irving Ditty, collector Of internal
revenue for Maryland, reports that the
revenus for liquor licences in local option
counties has not abated. and the reports OF
COMPTROLLER Kcating show that there has
been no falling off Of revenue from state
licenses to sell liquor, Mr. Daniel, OF the
State Temperance Alliance, denies Col.
Dittvs assertion. but his denial is only
based upon speculation. Col Dirty knows
what he says; Mr.. Daniels denial Is pro-
badly based on his hopes. However, Col.
Dittv's statement is to be taken as accur-
ate. and the Comptroller 'sreport is accurate
also. This shows, then, that the sale, II
not the consumption, of liquor has not
abated. notwithstanding local option pre-
walls in thirteen counties. If the records
Of Delaware were at hand, they would pro-
bablv show increased trade in that state,
as six counties where prohibition prevails
border on the Delaware line.
These are facts which temperance work
ers should consider calmly and thoroughly.
They should examine results in Maryland
with experiences elsewhere, and ascertain
if the system can be improved, or whether
some other method will not lessen the con-
sumption of liquor, and consequently the
MANY attendant evils. Prohibition Is not
a measure. it seems, that will be supported
NV nubIc sentiment. and when that Is the
case it is useless to attempt to enforce 1t.
In Kansas, after one years experience,
local option was repudiated by powerful
majority. Local option, or prohibition,
has been tried and repudiated in various
places in the West, and in Worcester coun-
tv. thi., state, where local option has pre-
vailed in a number of the districts, the at
tempt to vote it for the others last week
failed by large majority.
\ few years ago the British parliament
appointed commission to examine into
the various systems of the world for the
suppression or abatement Of the liquor
traffic. The commission spent long time
in patient and careful investigation, and
they reported the Swedish system as the
most effective That country, under 1t,
had steadily arisen from the most intem-
perate to be the most temperate. There, the
business was under control in each city and
town Money was furnished to carry 1t
on. with certain safeguards, all the earnings
of the capital, above the legal rate of in
terest, being given to charitable institutions
What system England now has, we are not
informed. but the Queen, in her last annual
speech to parliament, stated that the reve-
nues from the liquor traffic had greatly
fallen off
In some of the Western states high IL
ccnse systems prevail. 1t is claimed there,
that the revenues have not only increased,
but that the small groggeries, where the
low, vicious, and Incorporate drink and
carouse, have been forced out Of existence.
Public sentiment has sustained high IL
rense. and still further increase is con-
1cmplated in some states. Public sentl-
ment not only sustains it, but those who
pay the license are ever watchtul to pre-
vent infringement of the license law.

Southern Election Cases.

At Charleston, S. c., Saturday, the United
States commissioner dismissed, for want of
proof, all the election cases brought before
him from Williamsburg county, and to prose.
cute which Attorney General Brewster had
sent down some high priced counsel. All the
Williamsburg cases were brought on charges
made by one man, and when the commission
er began the hearing it was quickly developed
that the bitterest partisan motives actuated
the man bringing the charges Commenting
on the collapse of the prosecution, the Char
lesion News and Courier declares that ''it is
a disgrace to the government that proceedings
so inexcusable should ever have been insti-
tuted, and it is to be hoped that Judge Bond s
recent letter, which was directed against just
such outrages, viii have the effect of prevent
ing their repetition.

Throng with fcrvcnt aspiration,
Found our fainting souls salvation,
Far from out its blackened fire crisps
Did our quickening spirits soar
And our beautiful ideals
Not too sanity to be real
Mid the burning flames He found us,
With the timber burning around us,
And our saddened, sinking spirits in
His arms of love upbore us.
Like lonely ones, weak and weary,
Wandering in the midnight flames,
Through their sinful besomS
Brought us to the heavenly shore.
Oh mortal friends and brothers,
We are each and all anOther's.
And the soul that gives most freely
From its treasures hath the more.
Would you lose your life, you'd find it
On that bright celestial shore.
