| CoLUsA county in raising the price OF
liquor licenses has attached a regulation
requiring every retail dealer to give bond
that he will keep an orderly house, and not
sell liquor to minors. The bond is to be
written in the sum of $1,000. 1t NAV
work, but We doubt it. A bond is as easily
avoided as is the law The law now re-
quires all houses of entertainment to be
kept in an orderly manner, and prohibits
the sale of liquors to minors. Would il
not be just as easy to enforce the law as to
attempt to recover upon the penalty clause
of bond? True, it may. be said that the
fact Of bond being required as condi-
ton precedent to the issuance of a license
Is restraining influence, and will act to
keep the disreputable out of the business
But we doubt that, too. The liquor sellers
OF Colusa are probably advised that the
requirement of bond is illegal. 1t is not
provided in the statutes, and can only be
| justified on the ground that it is a local
or police regulation which the local au-
thority may make in the interests of the
public peace But, on the other hand,
bonds are so seldom sued upon. or their
penalties enforced, that those who give
them viii scarcely consider them as re-
straming in character \ few rigid cases
Of punishment for selling liquor to minors
will do more to insure respect for the law
than any number of bonds; like practice
under the law against keeping disorderlv
houses will be more efiectual and economic
than the civil proceeding upon bond for
forfeiture. Still, we wish our Colusa
neighbors success under their experiment.
though believing it will not at all
strengthen the obligation of the law.
Two State elections occur to-dav-in
Ohio and Iowa. The latter State is GER
tain to go Republican With regard to
Ohio the case is one of doubt. If it goes
Democratic Mr.. Thurman will be returned
to the Senate by the Legislature to be
chosen, otherwise Mr. Sherman will be
secured in his seat. These elections are
the first since President Cleveland has as
sumed Office. We may anticipate that the
Federal influence will be cast for the
Democratic ticket. So far as the temper
ance fight is concerned, the Democracy is
opposed to the prohibition theory and as
sumes to be the friend of high license.
In whatever light the matter is viewed
the Ohio election is one of national i'm
portance. 1t is to be hoped the constitu-
tional amendment regarding the date of
the State election, will be adopted. If so
the last of the "October States will be
stricken from the list.

THE LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
 The Law and Order league. of Massachu- setts has issued it's annual report, and the record of it's work is interesting. The league was instituted for the purpose of aiding or compelling the enforcement of laws against the illegal selling of intoxicating drinks. 1t does not ask for further oppressive legisla tion. It simply demands and endesvors to secure the enforcement of such laws as are on the statute book. This is probably upon the ground that further and more severe laws would be worthless until the present laws can be enforced. This attitude is quite different from that of those who insist upon prohib- itory law and, in our opinion, much more sensible.
 Let us glance at what the league has sue ceeded in doing. Against the efforts of the liquor dealers it caused the higher rates for licenses, which were established in the previ- ous year, largely through the leagues exer- tions, to be retained. Thus $315, ,667 were brought to the treasury of the city of Boston in excess of the amount received from licenses during the preceding year. The league prosecuted in Suffolk county, which in cludes Boston, during the year 177 persons for violations of the liquor law. Of fthese 151 were convicted in the lower court and ap- pealed to the Superior court The prose- cutions were mostly for selling to chil- dren and selling on Sunday. On all con- troverted questions the league has endeavor- ed to send test cases to the Supreme court, and the decisions thus obtained are very val uable It has also endeayored to stest the machinery of enforcement. It has also se- cured seven verdicts, under the civil damage law, in behalf of women whose husbands were drunkards, and who otherwise would have been helpless. Other similar cases are pending, and much work may be done in this direction.
 There are seyenty-four branch leagues in the State, which rely, to some extent, on the central organization for help. The league in strong and conspicuous among the lawbreak- CTS should be prosecuted in preference to the weak and obscure. When prominent poll ticians'' were selected the league expected retaliation, and it has come The leagues agents have been attacked by mobs with ''slung shots" and other weapons, but the ringleaders in these outrages are now in jail. It is evident that the league is doing a needed work, but it seems that such a civilized State as Massachusetts ought to be able to get along without Law and Order league. Of course the existence of such a league means that the laws are not properly enforced by those whose business it is to en- force them

private firms On this commission was MT. Graves, who is generally put upon such in quiries because of his knowledge of depart ment workings and thorough devotion to civil service reform. Probably no man in the Treasury department is better qualified to put this. bureau on 8 business basis than MT. Graves. It employs ], 200 people, of whom less than one-tenth come under the civil service rules, and appointments have hitherto come solely from personal reasons.
 The case of MT. Ponomaref illustrates most clearly how little even innocence may avail to save a man in Russia from the clutches of the imperial inquisitors. MT. Ponomareff, student in the Saratov sepi- nary, was taken into custody on charge of belonging to a secret society. Among the papers of one of the leaders of the movement, Voinaralski, had been found ticket on which was written Ponomareff's name This was held to be sufficient justification of his arrest. At the interrokatory the latter de nied all knowledge of the former, saying that he had not the least idea how Voinaralski became acquainted with his name. Persist ing in this denial, be was accused of obsti-
 
 macy, urged to confess, and, still proving recalcitrant, sent to prison and advised to "rehect." As he reflected there three years, it cannot be said that the authorities did not give him ample time to consider both sides of the question. At the end of three years Ponomareff was at length placed on trial, and retained MT. Stassoff, a well-known St. Petersburg advocate, for his defence. The advocate naturally enough asked to see the ticket on which his clients name was affirm ed to be written. The ticket was produced accordingly, when To and behold, the name was not the of Pononareff at all. Owing to slight similarity in the spellin Q of their cognomens, the police had mistaken him for somebody else, and arrested the wrong man. So indifferent are the dispen- sers of the Czar's justice to the rights of the Czar's subjects, that it took three years to rectify error that in any other country would have been rectifed within twenty four hours

RIDDLES OF NATURAL HISTORY.
How Chickens and Other Juveniles
 Reveal Their Instincts.

How Chickens and Other Juveniles
 Reveal Their Instincts.
 lFrom the Fortnightly Review.l
 Chickens, two minutes after they had left the egg will follow with their eyes the move ments of crawling insects, and pick at them, judging distance and direction with almost infallible accuracy. They will instinctively appreciate sounds, readily running toward an invisible hen hidden in a box when they hear her ''call." Some young birds also have an innate, instinetive horror of the sight of a hawk and of the sound of its voice. Swal- lows, titmice, tomtits and wrens, after hay ing been confined from birth, are capable of flying successfully at once, when liberated, and their wings having attained the neoes- sary growth to render flight possible. The Duke of Argyle relates some very interesting particulars about the instincts of birds, es- pecially of the water onsel, the merganser and wild duck. Even as to the class of beats I find recorded "Five young bobcats were found comfortably imbedded in dry, withered grass, in side hole of proper di- mansions for such larder, were forty frogs and two toads, all alive, but merely capable of sprawling little. On examination the whole number, toads and all, proved to have been purposely and dexterously bitten through the brain. Evidently the parent polecat had thus provided the young with food which should be kept perfectly fresh, because alive, aud yet was rendered quite unable to escape. This singular instinct is like others which are yet more fully devel- oped among insects-a class of animals the instincts of which are so numerous, wonder full and notorious that it will be probably enough to refer to one or two examples. The female carpenter bee, in order to protect her eggs, excayates in some piece of wood se- ries of chambers, in special order, with 8 view to a peculiar mode of exit for her young, but the young mother can have no conscious knowledge of the series of actiops subsequent 1y to ensue. The female of the wasp, sphex, affords another we'll known, but very re- markable example of e complex instinct closely related to that already mentioned in to provide fresh, living animal food for her progeny, which, when it quits it's egg, quits it in the form ot an almost helpless grub, ut terly unable to catch, retain, or kill and act i've, struggling prey.
 Accordingly, the mother insect has not only to provide and place beside her eggs suitable living prey, but to so treat it that it may be helpless, unresisting victim. That victim may be mere caterpillar, or it may be great, powerful grasshopper, or even that most fierce, active and rapacious of in- sect tyrants, fell and vsnomous spider. Whichever it may be, the wasp adroitly stings it at the spot which induces, or in the several spots which induce, complete paraly- sis as to motion-let us hope as to sensation also. This done, the wasp entombs the help less being with its own egg and leaves it for the support of the future grub.

THE MOST SWEEPING
 AND LOW PRICED SALE OF BOOKS

Ever heard of in New Haven, or for that matter, in New York either. For ten days to come you can replenish your library, lay in your stock of Summer Reading, and secure your Books for Birthday Presents, at prices so low that they really amount to almost giving the Books away. After that, the sale will be closed, things will return to their normal condition, and if you want any Books, why you can go to a regular booksellers, and pay regular booksellers pri- ces for them.
 Thus much by way of intro duction: the real story of the Books we are going to offer can be best told by plain state ment of their titles and prices; and here it is, as sent to us by the publishers
