"Simply Delicious.

The Wheeling Journal, speaking
of a Ger tain brand OF intoxicating
LIQUORS on sale at certain Drunk
Schools in Wheeling, which it is
pleased to call Sample Rooms"
says this:
ut is said by those who have
tasted it to be simply delicious. Ev-
erybody should try it."
Would the editor of the Journal
advise his Christian neighbors and
their children to 60 to these places
a nd drink? Would he so advise
them as he meets them in the So
cial circle? If not, why so advise
them in a public way? Does a
few dimes paid for a few lines of
local advertising compensate for
such ruinous advice? Does it oc-
cur to our Brother that such ad-
vice leads to sure death ? And
does he not remember the three
murders and suicides, in the the
drunk dens of Wheeling, occurring
in one day, not long since? 1t
seems to US that these inquiries are
not impert:nent, in the premises.

How the Law Works.

Hon. James G. Blaine, of Maine,
in a public letter, one year ago,
thus sums up the good results of
Prohibition in that State:
"Intemperance has steadily de-
creased in this State since the first
enactment Of the prehibitory law,
until now it can be said with
truth that there is no equal num-
Der of people in the Anglo-Saxon
world among whom so small an
amount of intoxicating liquor is
consumed as among the six hun
bred and fifty thousand inhabitants
of Maine"
Mr.. H. H, Reuter-, President of
the Beer Brewers Congress, year
or two ago, said:
The State of Maine has now dis
appeared altogether from the list of
beer producing States"
d. +. Locke, "Petroleum V. Mas
by," has just finished a series of
articles in the Toledo Blade, illus
tratlve of the workings of the
Maine liquor laws. He says;
"Prohloition has killed the rum
mills, but it has built up every
other kind of business. 1t was bad
Tor 10 the bar-keeper, but it proved
the salvation of the butcher. The
real estate dealers, who opposed it
at first, are its most staunch sup
porters now The men who were
IN the business did not lie down
and die. Such as would work
found there was something in the
world to do besides rinsing beer
glasses, and they were com PEELED to
60 and do it. Those who would
not work, left the State, to Names
eternal gain, and better men came
IN to take their places. Instead of
ruin to Portland, prohibition has
been the making Of it. No city
ever prospered by business that
degraded its population"

McnonaId,e Denial

Mr.. Mcdonald, for a Presidential candl-
date, talks too much. He is an amiaole,
courteous gentleman, and can't resist the
temptation TO express his mind pretty
freely when he is with those who are IN
sympathy with his views on public mat
tiers. He has had occasion several times
70 set himself right. He takes a trip TO
" ashingtOn every once in a whlle, either
TO attend to pressing law business or TO
keep the public eye from wandering away
from him. Not long ago he was in Wash
ington, and soon after he departed Tor his
home the Register. a Democratic paper
published at the national capital. con-
tanned a paragraph that Mr.. Mcdonald
was opposed to the Morrison bill, and
thought it unwise to raise the tariff issue
in Congress this session. Mr.. Morrison
sent the paragraph to Mr.. Mcdonald, and
wrote 10 him that he regarded it a blow
under the belt. Of course Mr.. Mcdonald
fastened TO say that he was not
\ responsible for the paragraph. and that
he had never said anything like it, He
assured Mr.. Morrison that he thought It
right for the House to outline the policy
Of the Democratic party on the tariff, and
let the responsibility Of defeating tariff re-
duction rest on the Senate. Mr.. Melon
aid. probably, made some remark which
was misunderstood or mlscOnstrued, and
which was the foundation Of the Regtster's
paragraph. Just now Mr.. Mcdonald
stands as good a chance to get the nOmI-
nation Of his party as any other candidate.
There is no doubt that his own State IA
yors him by an overwhelming majority. II
he keeps away from Washington and
doesn't talk too much. he may command
more support in the convention than his
rivals at present are willing to admit that
he will command.

The Star Route Mystery.

1t is evident that there arephases Of me
star route business Of winch the puDAc
know nothing. Glimpses of unrevealed
secrets are caught now and then as star
route matters are presented to the puOIlc
in one shape OF another. A few days ago
ex-Postunaster General James and ez-
Attorney General McVeagh were before
the Springer committee as witnesses.
What they said created the impression
that Gen. Garfield was earnest and sin
cere in his efforts 10 bring those accused
of star route crimes TO justice, and that
hs knew nothing Of the star route iniquity
until after he became President. The tes-
timOny Of these two witnesses deadened a
very generally entertained suspicion that
Garfield intended to shield the principals
in the star route conspiracy. Leading
journals took occasion TO comment on the
testimony. and 10 emphasize the state
ments Of James and McNeagh that
Garfield meant 10 do his whole
dutv IN the star route business.
Just when the public We're ready 70 be-
lfeye. however. that Garfield had been IN
fairly suspected. a witness who had been
one Of the counsel 10 prosecute the con-
spiratOrs. testified that he mad made Car
field acquainted with the star route cor
rupti0n and the names Of those who were
roboing the government Of millions Of
dollars while he was yet a member Of the
House Of Representatives. Garfield was,
therefore. acting a part when as Presi-
dent, he expressed great surprise and IN
dignatiOn at the same list and facts. All
through the campaign Of $50, when ne
was writing Dorsey endearing and con-
fdential letters. he knew Of his connec-
ton with the star route swindles. He con-
tiuued TO use him, however, perhaps
with the purpose Of delivering him up 10
justice as soon as he was done with him.
The testimony does not put Garfield in a
very favorable light. Even after he had
been inaugurated he continued to receive
Dorsey as a trusted friend at the White
House. If he knew that the government
was being plundered by the star route
contractors before he was nominated for
the Presidency. did he not have the best
Of reasons for suspecting that the large
contribution made to the Republican
campaign fund by these contractors
was a part Of the plumber taken from the
government: Did he not have reason to
believe that some Of the money that was
being used to elect him President was
flched from the Treasury: Mr.. Springer's
committee may not get the whole truth,
but it ought to be able to clear away some
Of the mystery which enyelops the star
route business.

A FEMALE FOOTPAD.
A Woman in Mems Clothing Forces a
German to stand and Deliver.

A Woman in Mems Clothing Forces a
German to stand and Deliver.
Henry Essling, a young German gentle
man now travelling in this country, says a
Philadelphia special Of the 9th inst. to
the New York Herald, arrived in Phila-
delphia Saturday evening and lef attnight
for St. Augustine, Fla, after having been
robbed by a woman in mems clothes on
Walnut street, near Nineteenth street.
Mr.. Essling dined with party Of friends,
all becoming slightly eXhilarated during
the evening. About half past this
morning, after having bid his friends
goodbye near Ninth and Walnut streets,
he started up the latter street to the pri-
vate house at which he was a guest. At
the southwest corner Of Walnut and
Nineteenth streets, the upper side of Rit-
tenhOuse square, there is a handsome pri-
yate residence. next door to the Church
of the Holy Trinity, which is just on the
corner. In front Of the private residence
is a sort Of an alcoye. or embrasure,
slanting into the doorway.
just as Mr.. Essling passed a slender
figure in long OvercOat stepped out OF
the alcOYe and approached him quickly.
The figure and gait were those Of a
woman, and Essling stopped inyOluntarily
lust as pronounced feminine voice de-
manded his money. Essling laughed and
made some sportive remark to what he
Imagined to be a belated masquerader,
When, to his surprise, the young woman
pointed pistol at him and again told him
She wanted money. He could scarcely
realize that he had been confronted by a
female highWayman, but the wOman's
resOlute tone and grave demeanOr con-
WINGED him that the pistol was not purely
ornamental. He had just 81 in his peck
cts, and surrendered the money, the woman
walking quickly away along the side
OF the square. There were no policemen in
sight. Esslmg, now thoroughly fright
ened, was ashamed to give an alarm and
went home.

WHAT ELDER WANTED.
Mr. Merrick,s OPINION Of -Him.

5sWhat offer did Mr.. J. W. Elder, Kei-
fer's witness in the BOyntOn affair, make
to the Department of Justice in relation
to the star route cases, when he brought
a letter from Mr.. Keifer, as stated in the
Keifer-Boynton Investigations asked a
Philadelphia Press reporter Of Mr.. Brew
ster Cameron Saturday. ole guaranteed
for a fee of 81, 800 to secure the conviction
of William Pitt Kellogg" was the reply,
"by securing the attendance OF Walsh,
whose testimony was sure to convict"
"What was done about tP' asked the re-
porter. "The department couldn't listen
to the offer, of course. 1t seemed evident
that there was something behind 1t. My
impression was that Elder was IN league
with Walsh, and that by securing the at
tendance of the latter they would receive
1880. When Mr.. Merrick was informed
of the matter he said that Elder was one
of the biggest scoundrels in the United
States, and he thought that he was sent
by the star reuters themselves, with
view of showing, if the offer was accepted,
the attempt of the government to pur-
chase evidence. A suspicion of either Of
these schemes precluded the possibility of
the offer being considered"

Mr.. TiIden,s Tariff Record.

1t must be admitted that the New York
SIM does not seem to be happy in its Sc
lection Of Presidential candidates. 1t has
not been very long since it dropped Mr.
Holman because it found that he was a
revenue rcformer instead Of a protection
ist. and now. if it is consistent, it must
drop its latest candidate, Mr.. Tilden, for
the same reason. 4 few days ago it gave
as the reason .'why the people want Mr..
Tilden" that ''his glory and renown have
not been gained in the pursuit Of such
abortiye and untimely distractions as the
attempt to make a free trade tariff when
the conditions Of the country render pro-
lection an inevitable necessity" The
New York Herald Of Monday takes up
the record Of Mr.. Tilden, and shows tina.
either the SIN is not well informed relative
to Mr.. Tlldcn's position on the tariff or
that it is trying to mislead the public. OF
course there is no need to call attention to
the fact that the assumption that the
people want Mr.. Tilden is rather violent.
1t is highly probable that they VIII man
age to get along without him. With re-
spect 20 his tariff record, the Herald
shows that in 1850, when he was a candi-
date for Attorney General Of New York,
he wrote letter favoring revenue reform.
In 1874, when he was a candidate for
Governor, the platform adopted by the
convention which nominated him de-
manded Federal taxation for revenue
only" and Mr.. Tilden in accepting the
nomination Endorsed the platform. In
1876, when he was nominated for Presi-
dent, the platform contained provision
that sail custom house taxation shall be
only for revenue" and Mr.. Tilden in his
letter Of acceptance approved it. Does
the Sun mean to say that Mr.. Tilden, now
almost in his second childhood, repudiates
the record made during the best years Of
his life; 1t is probable that the Sun does
Mr. Tilden Injustice.
