Speaking Of the system of high licenses
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors, which
has been lately adopted by the Legisla-
lures of several of the Western States as q
means of combating the evil of drunken
ness, the st. Louis Republican says:
"Under the old system there would be

holes. OF course the business divided a.
mong so many leaves a very meagre living
to each, degrades the calliog. and makes
the saloons small, irresponsible and dis
reputable. In Fulton it is a responsible
monopoly divided between four saloons,
which can well afford to pay 81 500 year
for it. They are orderly, we'll kept and
decent establishments, and they supply
the community with all the spirits they
want without having to send out drum

important consideration. nobody wants it
abolished. 1t is acceptable to all classes
to the drinkers, because it provides them
with more respectable drinking places: to
the community, because it diminishes
drunkenness and provides liberal reve-
nue. to the town; to the saloon keepers
because it protects them from irresponsi.

reasonably profitable business"
According to the above, this seems to
be satisfactory arrangement all around
There are many who believe that this il

Asiatic cholera Of virulent character
having broken out at Damietta, Egypt,
precautions against its extension west
ward have been taken at Alexandria,
Algiers, Gibraltar and other points along
the Mediterranean. Originating as usual
in India the disease has been brought to
Egypt along the usual lines of trade and
travel. From Damietta, the first place in
Egypt where the disease manifested itself,
it has been ascending the Eastean branch
of the Nile as far as Mansooreh. Its viru-
lence may be judged from the fact that
on the 28th of June it caused at the former
city the death of 1873 persons, out OF total
population 10000; and at Mansooreh, on
the day following, - persons succumbed
to it. Should the disease ascend the Nile
to Cairo, where the bulk of the English
army of occupation is encamped, serious
results might be anticipated. But accord
ing to Lord Harrington every precaution
has been taken to guard the troops in
Egypt against it, and the panic that fol-
lowed the announcement of its presence
has already measurably subsidized. Happily
the disease is not difficult to guard against,
though extremely difficult to master when
once it gains footing. Considering the
facilities which foreign trade creates for
the introduction of the cholera into our
Atlantic ports, it behooves the custodians
of the public health to be well on their
guard.

The Westminster Adcocate took occa-
sion not long since to demonstrate with
other county journals, that had seen fit to
push the Hagerstown Mail TO the wall
and show editor Bell how utterly ground
less, idle and untrue were the assertions
derogatory to the good conduct of the
Democratic party he is accustomed to
make, by urging that the Nail is no longer
recognized as Democrat paper, and
therefore its utterances are no longer
entitled to notice. 1t impressed us that
there was some force in this commentary
of the Adcocate !; and hence we were not
little surprised to find that paper devot-
ing its leading editorial last week to the
important fact that the Hagerstown Mail

Death OF Bishop Pinkney.

RI. Rev. William Pinkney, D. D., LID
Bishop of The Episcopal Diocese OF Mary,
land, and rector OF the Ascension Church
Washington, died very suddenly about
six o'clock Wednesday morning at the rec.
tory Of Sherwood Church, Cockeysville
Baltimore county. The cause of his death
was CO congestion of the heart. The Bishop
had gone to Cockeysvills on Tuesdly, in
company with Rev DR.. Levin, to officiate
at the laying of the corner stone of a new
church. He preached an eloquent sermon
on the evening preceding his dea'h, in
the church ut Cockeysville and retired at
about 1890 in his usual health. Dr. LIE.
win, who occupied room adjoining that
of The Bishop, was aroused on Wednesday
morning by hearing groans proceeding
from the room of the Bishop. Upon re-
pairing to his room he found him con-
scious but on the point of death Medi-
cal assistance was summoned, but before
it arrived the Bishop had peacefully pass
ed away. Bishop Pinkuey was Jealous,
humane and benevolent as well as highly
learned divine, and his death will be sim
cerely mourned.

Hon. Richard T. Merrick, describing
the jury that acquitted the star-route peo-
pie, said: ooh, l had beautiful jury, an
unparalleled jury. There were four ne
groes, a crank. man with mania g. potu
Welshman, who can neither speak, read
nor understand English, and one who can
neither read nor write any language, on it. .
1t is forcibe commentary on American
jury laws, especially as framed and oper-
ated by the Republican party, that such a
set of men should be impanelled and their
unanimous consent required to determine
a case involving an embezzlement of ST.
500, 900 from the Government.

The Anne Arundel Advertiser, referring
to our comparison of the relative qualii-
cations of our presen. Governor in the art
of agriculture aud the science of statecraft,
puts the following hypothetical case:
Suppose farmer should be present on
his farm part of one day in every week
or two weeks, and the rest of the time be
somewhere else what does the Times think
would he the result of such farming p
How many bushels of wheat to the acre
could be raised then e.
We are of opinion that the said farmer,
if of the same turn of mind as our Govern
or, would be apt to come to the conclu-
sion that the potato bugs and other pests
had formed "ring' to corruptly diminish
his crop and appropriate it "to other pur-
poses" His yield per acre could hardly
be estimated by bushels.

The recent address Of the committee
of the Irish National League to the Presi-
dent, regarding the pauper immigration
that is constantly arriving in this country
from Ireland through the policy of the
English government in that regard has
awakened renewed public attention to the
matter. Il seems that for some time past
it has been the deliberately planned policy
of the British government to depopula'e
Ireland of its peasantry by assisting those
who have become impoverished and dis
satisfied by the oppressive land laws to
emigrate to America by awarding them
small sum of money for the purpose.
This has been heretofore recognized in
the United States as unjust and injurious
to this country, and some measures have
been adopted looking its discontinuance
In February and March last our consuls
in Ireland made an investigation of this
subject in connec'ipn with that of the
general condition of tie poor in that
country, but no unanimity of opinion was
expressed as to emigration. A summary
of Consul General Merritt's report of this
investigation was published on May 8.
During May the first shipment of any con-
siderable number of assisted immigrants
that reached this country landed at Boston,
and the fact was promptly reported to the
Treasury Department by Gust ,m' officers
and brought to the notice of the State
Department. This shipment was soon
followed by Others. ~ that time, an / be-
fore the circumstances had attracted gen
eral pubic notice, Minister Lowell Was
informed of the arriv Al of these immigrants
and appropriately instructed AS yet no
report has reached the State Department
from Minister Lowell as to what steps
have been taken in the matter.

In accordance with an application from
Gov. Hamilton, on the part of Maryland
and Gov. Cameron, on the part of the State
of Virginia, the Secretary of War has sig
niied his willingness to detail Lieutenant
Frederick V. Abbot, of the corps of topo-
graphical engineers, to run the boundary
line between Maryland and Virginia, pro-
vided for under the act of 1882, chapter
159, which makes an appropriation OF
$1,000 for the purpose. A similar appro-
priation was made by the Legislature OF
Virginia
