number of pearls of great value
The Peruvian ladies are said to be
connoisseurs in pearls. and it was
thought that the thieves could be
detected in trying to dispose of pearls
of such uncommon value, but all the
police in the city could not find a
trace of them. The policemen com
plain, and justly too, of officials who
use them as lackeys. Upon the ex-
cuse Of having a police to keep the
carriages in line at receptions and
balls the policemen is really used to
call out the Carriages ard save the
expense of a man hired for the pur-
pose. 1t is told of a policeman at a
reception last winter being ordered
by an official thus: "Call my car

The Ohio Poker Legislature met
on Tuesday last and "opened with
prayer" One Republican remarked
that it ought TO be proved for, be
cause God knows it needs it." The
Columbus correspondent of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer saws the Ii
quor question will come up soon and
stay late. 1t is not that the Repub-
licans WANT wrestle with this ques-
ton again but they know that they
can't help il. 1t has got to be met
and something done with it. The
Republicans without any good cause
evoked this evil genius to their par
ty last year and now they have to
lay it if they can. The Legislature
will come together in the full know
ledge that some legislation on the
liquor question must be done. The
question is, what sLall it be? There
are two factions, both rampant. One
is composed Of the fellows who go in
red hot on principle" and the other
of the more cautious politicians who
believe in expediency. The first
named crowd will howl for the Locke
bill which taxes the saloons, and
will insist on amending it so that
the saloon man who does not pay his
tax will be sent to Jail. The bill as
pressed will be very similar to the
unlamented Pond law. The essen
tial difference will be that whereas
the Pond law taxed the big saloon
and the doggery in the same amount,
The Locke bill will discriminate and
the bond feature Of the Pond law
will be eliminated. It is Of course
doubtful whether such a law will
stand as constitutional, but Charley
Foster says it will and the reformers
have great confidence in Charles as
a great constitutional lawyer. Then
when this is done the whoopers for
holiness will endeavor to have the
Smith Sunday law amended so IS to
make its penalties nor severe, and
then he is ready to go into the next
campaign on great moral issues and
all that.
The expecdiency crowd, on the
other hand, say that legislation Of
this sort caused the defeat of the
party lest fall and will do it again,
They want no more reform laws, and
say that the Germans must be con.
cilated, or it is all up with the grand
old party. Speaker Hodge heads
this faction, and if there is any higt
moral issues injected into the mex
campaign, it will be because the
Speaker loses his grip on things. AL
this faction will agree to is to pro
pose to the voters q chance to vote
a patch on the constitution.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says
Governor elect Click, of Kansas, in
a recently published letter gives
some interesting statistics relative
to prohibition. He shows that in
the year preceding prohibition in
Kansas the United States Revenue
Collector issued 1882 permits Il sell
Intoxicating liquors, being one per-
unit to S79 persons, showing Kansas
to be the first temperance State in
the Union. The first year of prohi-
bition the United States Revenue
Collector issued 1,7ss permits to sell
Intoxicating liquors. This makes
an increase of So per cent, or one
permit to each 551 persons, and takes
Kansas from the first and places her
in the seventh place as a temperance
State. But this is not the worst side
of the picture. Mr.. Click presents
data showing that for the first forty
five days Of the second year Of pro
hibition there we're issued by the
same officer, LAS permits, being
sixteen more in that short time than
in the whole last year Of license and
local option, which reduces Kansas
still lower in the rank of temperance.
To these sad and lamentable facts,
says the Governor-elect, must be
added the immense amount of clan
destine sales and the unlimited a.
mount of intoxicating liquors ship
ped to individuals in concealed pack
ages through the agency of the ex
press companies.

An old feud was ended at De Soto
last Monday. A saloon-keeper named
Daring was arrested by Marshal Beale
Sunday night and locked up in the cal
aboose. He then threatened his cap
tors life, and, next morning as soon as
released, went home and procured a
a revolver. He met the Marshal on
the street a short time afterward, and
began firing at once. Beale returned
the fire, shooting five times, mortally
vounding Daring. He then gave him
self up, while the wounded man was
taken away and cared for by his
friends. The feud originated in pros
ecutions against Daring for violation
of city ordinances, the Marshal having
appeared as q witness against him.
The people of De Soto are generally
disposed to stand by their Marshal,
and declare the killing was clearly in
self-defence.
