What Prohibition Would Have Done in
GG Ohio.
Dm st. Louis Republican.

From st. Louis Republican.
The effects of prohibition in Ohio would
have been important and far reaching
This will appear by considering some Off
cial facts on the subject. The effect of
similar measures in Maine, Iowa and Kan
sas were trifling in comparison with that
which would have attended the adoption
and enforcement of the amendment which
was defeated in Ohio. By the report of
the internal revenue commissioner for
1882 we see there were 10. 729 retail liquor
dealers in that state: there were 300 whole
: sale dealers; 80 rectifiers; $50 brewers;
319 retail dealers in malt liquors, and 1873
wholesale dealers in malt liquors. There
were II ,147, 203 proof gallons of spirits
rectifed last year in that state, or one fifth
of the whole amount rectitied in hhe I'm
ion. There were 40S3, 701 bushels of
grain used in the production of distilled
spirits. These are suggestive figures.
The destruction of private property would
have reached q score of millions. The
occupations of a very large fraction of the
population would have been changed and
the immediate effects would have been
serious. A change which effects and de
stroys interests so extensive could not
have been effected without calling forth
efforts to resist at every point. 1t would
have been in that state as in Kansas and
Iowa. The question would have continu
ed in politics of the state and given rise
no doubt to bitter and expensive litiga-
ton. The Scott law which, as a measure
for taxing the traffic, has in the past few
months yielded the state $4,000, 900, it
was thought had commended that method
of dealing with the subject to the favor
able judgement of the masses of the peO-
pie. But the vote on Tuesday shows thai
an astonishiDgly large proportion of the
voters of Ohio had resolved on a radical
policy on this subject.

A thought which has come to be famil-
lar to many Americans is expressed inthe
following sentence in Lord Coleridge's
New York speech: "Your increase of
population is remarkable in the history of
the world. but it is for you and not for
me to say wheter the wholesale immigra-
ton now going on, and likely TO continue
for years, is an unmixed blessing"

against, who had already forgotten this
affair, revived as if by magic. All the
transactions became of value. All the

must be said that betting was resumed
with new energy. The name of Phileas
Fogg was again at premium ON the

RAMsGATE, Nov o. There is a grand cele
bration Of the centennial birthday of Sir
Moses Montefere, the distinguished Jewish
philanthropist Public holiday has been
granted to all the working people in the dis
trict, and the town is filed with eminent Jews
from all parts of England and many parts of
the continent. Sir Moses, who, dispite his
% full years, is still hale and hearty, re-
ceived the most prominent of Gods chosen
people" in the early part Of the day at
his charming but secluded residence on Rams
gate hill Sir Nathaniel Rothschild repre-
sented the great bankers house, and, among
others in attendance, were Sir David Palmon,
Mr. Mocatha, Sir Julian Goldsmith and Mr..
Goscheh, the chief rabbi The lights of the
synagogue were present in force, and re-
manned to assist Sir Moses in the reception.
Afterward the mayor and corporation
waited upon the venerable patriarch
and were followed by Populations
from the schools, churches, and
public bodies of the neighborhoed all coming
mi state, healed by bands. A procession
of thousands of school-children, carrying flow
ers, sang hymns outside the residence of Sir
Moses, who sent cordial thGnks to them for
their kind greeting The queen sent a tele-
gram early in the morning congratulating
the aged baron in warm terms on the attain
nlent of his centennial birthday. The prince
of Wales and Premier Gladstone also sent
congratulation messages.

over the report that a circus lign, which was
reported to have escaped in. a recent train
wreck of Forepaugh's show near Broadway,
Union county, was prowling around loose
playing havoc with live stock, and tearing
things up generally Strange noises were
often heard at night closely resembling that
of the king of beasts, and those who heard it
wore loud in asserting that it was the voice of
a real live, roaring lion. Stories of every.de-
scription, infinitely relating the ravages and
terrible roaring of the monster, were put in
circulation, and were eagerly believed by the
credulous multitude, until people were actl-
ally afraid to venture out after night. A
prominent citizen, medical man, having de-
clared that he had been chased to his home
by the beast and had a narrow escape, a
party of well armed citizens was organized
and hunt for the animal proceeded
for two nights and one day,
but to no purpose, There was no small
amusement day or two later, when it
transpired thus: Some waggish fellows
had made what they call a "biiIl- fiddle. y
by which they could produce the sound
which alarmed the people and sounded like a
lions roar. This they carried around at
night, and when in good place gave the
fiddle tuning, sending terror to those who
heard its beastly noise.

An Eminent Lawyer Eases His Mind
ON the New York PaDerS.

ON the New York Papers.
New YORK, Nov. Gath says one Of
most eminent lawyers in the country re.
Gently remarked: "New York is now in a
great apparent whirl over the appetite of
the newspapers to eat each other up. There
is more snorting and showing of teeth than
fight in it, and think the result will be to
discompose these mechanical and commercial
properties from a conceit that they own this
country. In the world OF morals as of
physics when growth ceases decay begins,
and death is inevitable. This would be the
better assured If the rival Journals rose to
their manly stature and opportunity. The
next degeneration Of journalists win probably
be better than this when old exasperation
become worn out, and instead OF trying 20
silence some alert contemporary, q genuine
press win always redress grievance without
personal passion.
1.-THE deep yillainy Of this city press Is its
hypocrisy, Ignoring influences that exists in
the hope that silence viii poison them. The
moral of a newspaper is best known by its
observing beneath the superficial life of poll
tieians and criminals the rising elements of
other power. In that respect the American
newspaper press is still in infancy. Science.
thought, social insight, comprehensive grasp,
invention, the chaages in nations life, are
going forward with little help from the daily
press. In the weekly or monthly papers of
speciality you see all that recorded and no
personalities. When men are deeply engaged
In good they have no time for personalities,
