Sumptuary Laws.
How an Eminent Englishman Dis
patches the Sumptuary B1gbear.

H0U an EHJUtefu EHgGtSHHt6n DtS-
patches the Sunptuary Bugbear.
Mr.. Ed S. Taft, of our State,
while spending last summer in
Missouri, wrote to DR.. Lees, au-
thor of the Temperance Text
Book" &C., asking his views in ref
erence to the common objection
that prohibitory statutes are in the
nature of "Sumptuary Laws" In
the National Independent, published
at Leeds, England, appears Mr..
Taft's letter, with the following:
ANSWER.
Reformers engaged in a great in
tellectual and social controversy
will always have to meet with
'bugbears." A party that has the
misfortune Of being without sound
argument must needs resort to
some high sounding words; and
the word "sumptuary" is as good
for conjuring up confused and fear
full notions as any other. No clear
ness of argument ever can stop
the mouths of ranting and inter
ested parties. Our business is not
with them, but with men and wo-
men possessed of clear brains and
good hearts 1t is impossible to
ma Ike silk purse out of a sow's
ear. Interest and incapacity,
knavery aud folly, are not to be
reasoned with, but suppressed.
When men tell you that you are
proposing a "sumptuary law" in
proposing Prohibition, you can
say, first, that there is no resem-
blance between laws against luxu-
ry in clothing and consumption in
certain classes, and laws prohibit
ing, by all or any, the sale of poi
sons, the practice of gambling, the
use of lotteries, or any other social
act which demoralizes society, and
illustrates good government. Or,
Second, that if they are good laws,
they are no worse for being called
"sumptuary laws" A rose will
smell as sweet under any other
name. Or, third, you can tell them
that, historically, all license laws
'n0oIUe prohibition, and therefore are
as truly, or as fallaciously, called
"sumptuary" as any other Ifone
man is licensed, fifty others are
prohibited. If the sale of drink
IS permitted to go on at certain
hours and places, it is prohibited
under heavy penalties in others.
Prohibition-that is, the right to
prohibits the background of IL
cense, and that establishes the
principle. The right established
we can then proceed to the policy,
and the test of that is the success Of
Prohibition in reducing social evils
and augmenting social good. By
It's fruits you mast judge it.
A "sumptuary law" is law
against luxury, but Maine law is
law against crime. No law can
accurately dictate or define what IS
luxury in diet, dress, or furniture
and therefore it would be folly to
attempt to put it down by law.
But drink-selling, or public gam
Ding, or dealing out poisoEs, is ca
pable of strict definition and uni
versal application-is, in fact, one
OF the many forms Of a0ro1ag doing,
and therefore within the theoretlc
province and the practical juris-
dlction of the law. Social liberty
really consists in the exercise of our
faculties under protection from all
such a0rong doing, and We cannot
nave true liberty, therefore, except

Progress of Temperance in Great
Britain.

The following interesting items
from recent English papers-the
London Christian World and 9TH
ers are very encouraging as to the
progress of the good cause in the
fatherland. And all is fraught
with religious element and de-
pendence that gives good promise
of the permanence of this almost
sweeping reform:
The year of jubilee, 1882, will
stand out conspicuously in the an
mails Of Temperance. Says the AL
lance Ne,os: 81 he year has been
one of visible interest to temper
ance reformers, principally, indeed,
for the development of the Blue
Ribbon movement, but equally for
the more thorough saturation of
the public mind with Temperance
sentiments and ideas. This pro-
cess is of necessity gradual, and not
easily effected, since great numbers
of persons are ever coming upon
the stage of public life who need to
be educated, if not previously in
structed in this way of truth and
freedom. 1t will remain a year
with the unique honor of being
signalized for a reduction of the
public revenue from strong drink,
referred to in a Royal Speech as
deserving to be contemplated with
satisfaction"
The Temperance Chronicle begins
its review of 1882, thus: "The
story of the year which is depart
ed, may, from temperance stand
point, be written in one word
Missions. In the whole course of
the Temperance movement there
has never been a time when the
missionary spirit has more largely
prevailed. The services of those
whom we may, with every respect,
term the professional missioners,
have been most enthusiastically
supported by a goodly company of
voluntary workers, clerical and lay,
and as result there can be nc
question that the accessions 70 the
Temperance ranks have been more
numerous than in any previous
year of effort"
In a recent paper on Temper
ance, one of the Queens Chaplains
states that "In the towns of Eng
land and Wales, visited by Mr. R.
T. Booth since October, 1880, one
million people have donned the
Blue Ribbon, and $4,000 people
have signed the pledge. In New
castle, where 10000 people have
taken the ribbon, there has been a
gradual reduction Of fifty-six drink
Ing places. Four breweries have
been closed-one of them one of
the largest in the town. In the
course of last summer a monster
Temperance demonstration was
held on the race course, attended
by nearly 100000 people. In Swan
ssa, where it is believed nearly
half the population are abstainers,
three large breweries have been
closed, and several drinking places,
including two music-halls.' Mr..
Booths health has much proved
since his arrival at Mentone.
Grocers' licences have been abol-
ished in Jersey. The cocoa rooms
in Liverpool are frequented by no
fewer than $4,000 persons daily,

THE BRIDGE ACCIDENT,
A Horrible Plan Devised bv ROughs
and PickpOckets-Many Bod.
les Still Missing.

NEW YORK, May 81.
1t is very evident that feeling of gloom
is depicted on the face of the whole commune
ity this morning, in consequence of the bridge
disaster. The immense editions of the news-
papers have been exhausted. The general
impression is that the horror was the result
of plan By roughs and pickpockets who
have infested the bridge since its completion.
to ply their nefarious trade. The accounts
telegraphed last night leave little to add. All
editorials agree that measures must be taken
to prevent any future slaughter of this
nature.
Thirteen members of the 18th regiment
did noble service in rescuing people from the
mass of writing humanity. One private.
Patterson, had fight with = rough over the
bodies of the diving. and was obliged to beat
the villain away with club. but not until
the rough had cut Patterson with knife
Twelve persons are yet reported missing who
were known to have been on the bridge.
Most of those injured by the bridge disas-
ter have been removed to their homes from
the various hospitals and station houses

three at St. vincent's. all doing WELL DR.
Larkin of the latter hospital says that while

to the injured. several pickpockets got in and

Coroner Kennedy says: ''An inquest will

time shall subphana as witnesses the bridge

the jury we will probably go over the ground
Of the accident and get in working order for
a thorough investigation. which shall

number of persons have inquired at the
police headquarters today, for children or
friends supposed to have been on the bridge
at the time of the accident. but only in one
or two cases is there reason to suppose that
missing person might have been on the
bridge.
The Oak street police have a cart-load of
property taken from the anchorage when
it was cleared. Most of the clothing is torn
beyond recognition. Very few articles have
been claimed.
Supt. Martin has been personally investi-
eating the cause of the disaster, and the be ST
authenticated information leads him to be-
lieve that the panic was caused by pickpoek-
cts. No action has vet been taken by the
trustees.
Police Inspector Byrnes denies that the
panic on the bridge was cansad BY pickpock-
cts. He says there were none there. The
accident was due, he claims, to insufficiency
of the bridge management. By paying the
salaries of regular policemen, the trustees
could secure them and thus secure RESPONSE
bility for the safety of passengers and the
assurance that the duty would be properly
attended to.

of Pines distance three miles with turn.
A smart rain Just previous to the race, which
was feared would make rough water and pre-

when the men were called out a smoother
course was rarely seen on q lake or river.
The start was effected at 6.34. Kennedy soon
took slight lead. which he kept during the
first mile Hanlan, however, keeping Ken

About 25OO people witnessed the race. As
the men came from the water Hanlan was
greeted with hearty cheers and appeared as
though returning from practice spin rather
than from a match race. Kennedy's reception
was less enthusiastic. After the race, when
Hanlan had donned his walking suit, he was
followed by the crowd to the Hotel Pines
where he has made his headquarters and
upon reaching the balcony was loudly cheered
and called upon to speak. He said he had
upheld the record of an honest oarsman and
America at home and abroad and was again
ready to uphold it. The Oarsman he had
rowed against today was perfect gentleman
