Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago was completely covered with

it regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. Tho sores have
ell healed, and feel perfectly well in every
respect being now able to do good days
work, although 70 years Of age. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and

HIGH LICENSE
Deemed Wiser Than Prohibitory Laws
Minneapolis Tribune, 18th.

Minneapolis Tribune, 18th.
The drift of public opinion has Of late set
most unnistakably toward high license as
the best mode Of regulating the liquor traffic.
An editorial in Harper's Weekly truly says :
"The whole question Of excise laws Is one Of
sxpsdlency. The terrible consequences Of
excess In drinking are undeniable; but they
cannot be avsrted by mere peremptory pro-
hibition. They must therefore be dimin-
ished in the most practicable way. This
way will be best indicated by experience,
which will show that methods In great cities
must be different from those which are best
adapted to villages and small towns. The
advantage of high license Is that 1t enlists
the liquor interest In support Of the law,
and the experience of the high license States
pleads strongly In its favor." There Is at
present strong movement in Boston, which
will probably succeed, In favor Of Increasing
license fees to Q minimum Of $500. Mayor
Grace, Drs. Howard and Crosby, and other
leading men, are engaged in an effort 10 Sc
cure high license for New York City.
An article lately printed In the Inter Ocean
shows that the new liquor law Of Illinois,
increasing licenses to $500, has had decidedly
beneficial results in Chicago. The number
of saloons has decreased several hundred,
and those eliminated were of the worst class.
Selling to minors has almost wholly ceased,
and the improving effects Of the new law are
most apparent in the pslice courts. Ne
braska adopted . system Of extremely high
license at the same time when Kansas was
putting prohibition into operation. None
| but favorable reports come from Nebr aska,
while the majority of the reports from Kan
| sas are unfavorabls.
The Scott liquor tax law, which, If not
technically high license law, was such in
| Its practical working, produced results that
gratified three-fourths of the people of Ohio ;
and nothing but the decision of democratic
Supreme Court could have overthrown so
| popular q measure.
| The latest number of Lap and Order, a
temperance paper published in an Eastern
city, contains news from temperance workers
In Maine which indicates very unsatisfac-
tory condition of things under the prohibi-
tory law. While occasional drinking Is less
frequent, doubtless, in Maine than 1t would
be under q system of licensed saloons, hope
less drunkenness seems to be more frequent
than in States which do not prohibit. Clan
destine indulgence has tendency to excess
and confirmed insbriation.

ANOTHER CONFLICT.
Gen. Earle Slain While Leading a Charge Near
Brit.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Ths Standards Ger
respondent, with Gen. Earle's column, sends
the following dispatch, dated Dulka Island,
Tuesday: "The British troops advanced to
attack the enemy, who had = strong position
on the hills. After some fighting the enemy
was completely surrounded. Finding it i'm
possible to dislodge the rebels from their
fortified position, Gen. Earle ordered the
troops to charge, and was killed while lead
ing the attack. The Black Watch regiment
captured the position at the point Of the bay
onet, the cavalry taking possession of the
enemy's camp. Gen. Brackenburg, upon the
fall of Gen. Earle, assumed command, and
ordered that the remaining positions of the
enemy be stormed. The troops acted very
promptly, made q gallant attack, and soon
captured all the enemy's positions. The
fighting lasted five hours. There was great
slaughter among the enemy. Those who
survived, escaped by swimming the river.
KILLED AT THE HEAD OF HIS COLUMN.
Another account of the death of General
Earle, dated at Kcrti, says: Gen. Earle was
killed in the action on Tuesday. The fight
occurred near the Nile, few miles above
Dulka Island. The Arabs had fortified a
pass and had built q small fort ON the left
bank of the river. When Gen. Esrle's forces
reached the pass they were subjected to a
heavy fire from the field guns, which the
Arabs had placed in commanding positions.
Gen. Earle had no artillery and commanded
the troops to charge. It was more of q
scramble than charge, but the Arabs were
driven from the heights
AT THE POINT OF THE BAYoNET
and fell back slowly toward the river. All
that then remained to be captured was lit
tie fort on the river bank. As the British
column advanced it was met by steady and
well.directed fire from behind sand and wat
thing, which composed the Arab fort, and
many men Of the attacking party were
killed. Gen. Earle again ordered his men to
charge, and put himself at the head of the
column. He was killed during this charge.
The fort was ultimately captured, but at q
terrible cost. In addition TO General Earle
three officers and eight men were killed, and
IS men wounded.

An Interesting Question.

New YORK, Feb. 4.--A World editorial
says: The decision Of Judge Mcguire Of San
Francisco, that Chinese children cannot be
excluded from the public schools, opens up
an interesting question which will be decided
In the higher courts. These children are
natives Of the soil, born In this country Of
Chinese parents. The question is whether
children Of parents who cannot become citi-
zsns legally stand upon the same footing IS
children bern upon the soil ofparents of for
eign birth who are or may become citizens.
There are thousands Of these Chinese chill
dren In San Francisco, and IL they are forced
into the schools the white children will
probably be withdrawn.

Rebel Camp.


LONDON, Feb. 13.-General Brackenbury
telegraphs, under date of Kerbehan, 18th, q
translation Of the Arabic document found
near the camp deserted by the rebels on
Tuesday. 1t was found by private soldier
in donkey's saddle about 400 yards beyond
the captured position. 1t is from the Gov
ernor Of Berber to his faithful followers.
The document begins "In the name Of
