The local option law of Massachusetts is a
prohibitory law 10 23S towns and cities by
choice of the people, and a license law in SO
towns and cities. Where no licenses are
granted prohibition is very strictly and CON-
petely enforced, probably as strictly as in
most Maine towns. But where the traffic is
licensed the license laws are not strictly en-
forced. The traffic is one which has little
respect for any law, and constantly evades
and violates the statutes. OF nothing else
can 1t more truly be said, "give it an inch
and it will take an ell''

The Lord Chief Jusuceof England whom
the American people so layishly entertained
last year is exhibited 10 very unenviable
light BY the recent libel suit brought against
his son. Disliking his daughters suitor,
Lord Celeridge undertook to break up the
match BY directing his son to write his sister
letter filed with allegations against Mr.
Adams, her lover, of nature that, had
they been true, would have made Mr.. Adams
Infamous; and when his daughter refused to
be influenced by these falsehoods he prompt
~ turned her out of doors. Mr.. Adams de-
clares the charges in the letter to be false.
Miss ColerIdge is about 40 years of age and
ought to be competent to decide some things
for herself.

1t turns out that the provocatien of Spreck-
les for shooting De Young of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle was very slight. 1t seems
that the Chronicles only offence was the
publication of local report of stockhod-
ers' meeting that fairly represented the facts
In the case, and that was in the interest of
public policy. SpreckIes asked that the re
port be not published, and his only reason
for shooting De Young was that The latter
refused his request. If these were the cir
cumstances the sympathy of the public
ought to be, as it appears to be, with De
Young.

The recent riots in Mexico grew out of
the attempted compromise of the debt which
shat country owes to British subjects. The
debt has existed for long time, and the in
terest even has not been paid for many
years. Recently the Mexican government
arranged compromise through British
commissioners, by which Mexico was to pay
$43,0c0,O00. By the terms of the agree
ment about $13, ,O0o,OOo was to go 10 the 60
betweens who arranged the compromise. 1t
was against this feature of the bill that the
Mexicans kicked. The bill has now been
withdrawn, aud it is not likely to be pre-
scented to Congress again until the objection
able feature is either stricken out or greatly
modified,

offensive threat to control election re-
turns i'll the interest of the Democratic
ticket ever made in any northern
