Dear Sir-Your letter Just received, and have


Dear Sir-Your letter just received and have
considered carefully what you say Our pro-
position was local option for counties that would
by majority vote against liquor, and taxation Of
the traffic In the counties where they vote for
liquor. Now taxation is discrimination not
favor. Favor is letting business run free, With
out any discrimination against II. as In Hrv
goods, groceries, hardware, etc Therefore 70
reluSe 10 tax the LIQUOR traffic in counties where
the people therein vote for liquor, is to put it on
WIG respectable basis of dry goods, groceries,
etc, and is public completely and copartnership
with the traffic ten fold more than taxing it is.
No one can escape the logic of such conclusion
II they say hands off the traffic in the fifteen
counties in Indiana that would not likely now
vote for local option, but would have the saloon
tree as all other business, with no act permitting
any discrimination between whisky selling
ana 6ry goods selling Some might falsely rea-
son that If the people of county voted to have
liquor saloons, no discrimination ought to be
made. The liquor men themselves hold that
view, and, for one, [ will never join them in it.
But it must De remembered that the people of
the State IN common, equally in local option
counties as In liquor counties, pay taxes to
maintain the judiciary, the State prisons. the
general police expenses, and the asylums of the
State, where great part of the burden occa-
stoned by the liquor traffic falls on all in com
mon. And while, as the best thing that can
now be done, if the people of some counties will
not vote the saloons OUT the people in common,
oelng involved, may and should have the right
to so discriminate against the traffic as to put
it under the hand of law. and not leave it free
and respectable as the selling Of dry goods and
other legitimate business.
III people are in error in their reasoning on
this question: it is not for US to abandon the only
tenable position possible just because they fail
yet to see it in the proper light. But it is our
duty to bring the facts and logic to them.
Anyone honestly desiring to do light may
implicitly be relied on to see these plain facts
and accept our plan most heartily.
Local option for the people and counties
who want to suppress the traffic, and the strong
est discrimination possible by high tax in behalf
OF all of the people of the State who are involved
against the crime in the counties where the
people themselves will not suppress it. That is
impregnabie. By local option do not mean to
concede the freedom and responsibility of the
traffic where the people will not vote it out
But that is Che inevitable logic of those who
say local option only, and leave the traffic to run
riot and free selling hardware in other sections
OF Indiana. Let US stand fast On the solid rock
and show DIRECTORS their awful mistake

Failure of a Chinese Manufactures.

SANERANCIsCO Aug. 13-Hop Kee e Co..
the largest Wholesale Chinese manufacturers of
boots and shoes on the Pacific coast have failed
Liabilities $1,000 assets, unknown. The firm
has large and prosperous branch house at
Victoria, British Columbia. When the San
Francisco house got into financial trouble
the Victoria house repudiated all
connection with it, and dishonored it's
drafts This was the immediate cause of the
failure. The members of the firm are said to be
worth $500, coo. The question is whether the
creditors can succeed in reaching them. The
principal creditors are believed to be white
leather dealers and tanners in this city. but who
they are kop Kee refuses to say This is the
first Chinese failure of any Importance that has

No l will be commenced August %, on the
conclusion of 'Cut by the County" now ap-
pearing in our columns, and Nos. 2 and 3 will
follow in succession.
We may add that the stories are written in
Hugh Conways vivid and graphic style, the
situations are most effective, the current
problems of social relations and varying phases
of domestic life worked out in them are in
tensely interesting, and the characters leave
the reader with distinct impressions such as
are caused by people Of striking personality in
actual life.
The appropriateness of this intervention in
the existing arrangements for our Serial Lit
erature will be self-evident. The recent la
inevitable and all too early decease of the
brilliant novelist naturally excites great in
terest in the work he has left behind, and
calls for its publication as soon as practicable
We shall, therefore, defer the completion Of
the Octave of Short Stories By Distinguished
Authors in order that the TITO left by HUGH
CONWAY may be commenced in our columns
at the earliest date.
On September q the publication of the
Octave of Short Stories will be resumed by
WILKIE COLLINS, and continued by stories
from the rens of RHODA BROUGHTON and
THOMAS HARDY.
