A Temperance Measure.

The emphatic popular favor with
which the system of high license, with
local option, is received in the West is
proof that the people are coming to re-
gard it as the best practical solution Of
the liquor question. Prohibltory tee
tetalism has proved a failure wherever
tried on general scale; it is a failure
even in Maine, where it originated thir-
ty-five years ago and where it il still
painfully Northumberland a cOnvinc-
ing proof of its failure is that ut every
successive session Of the legislature
some new law is passed to make it ef-
fective. In the West the people take q
sensible and practical view of the mat
! ter. Some men will drink, they say,
| in spite of all prohibitions; the wisest
| policy, therefore, is to tolerate the hab-
it and make it pay for itself by placing
| saloon licenses at a good stiff price.
| This will diminish the number of
drinking places and thereby limit the
temptation to indulgence; and it will
secure liberal revenue from establish
ments that can well afford to pay It.
The system allows local communities
to decide for themselves whether they
will have saloons in their midst or not
and this is what IS called local option.
Where there are few drinkers; and the
sentiment of the community Is over
| whelmingly against saloons las in Clay
and few other counties of Missouri
| this feature works well enough; but i'm
communities where there is an active
minority opposed to absolute prohibi-
ton, the usual practice is to permit sa-
looms, but limit the number of them by
fixing high license fee.
The system works with nearly per-
feet harmony in Missouri. Not only
does it have the cordial approval of the
public, but it does not encounter Oppo-
sition from those who deal in, nor those
who drink liquors. In Illinois and
Ohio law similar to ours was opposed
by Democrats on the ground that the
license fee it required was too high.
But it is not as high in either of these
states, as in Missouri, and we think
the opposition to il in both states q
mistake. In New York and Massa-
chusetts. public sentiment is fast tend
ing towards the Missouri system, and
in another year it will probably be
adopted. The experience Of our state
shows clearly that well regulated
high license is an efficient temperance
measure Republican.

NUMBER ~
The Wheat Product.

Some months since the Republicn,
spoke of the ravages of the Hessian fly
in the Kansas wheat fields anu pre-
siicted falling off in the product a
the coming harvest. Our prediction:
are likely to be more than realized
The quarterly report of the Kansas
stat. board OF agriculture, for the quar-
ter ending March 81, says:
1.-The loss from Hassian fly and freez.
ing was q per cent, leaving little
more than 1000 900 acres to be harvest
ed this year if favorable conditions OBJ
tain hereafter. The late sown wheat
in the West is just beginning to grow,
the season being at least two weeks
late as compared with last year. and
for this reason its condition is difficult
to judge. All wheat sown in corn
stalk fields and in fields otherwise
sheltered or protected is in fair condi-
| ton, and now promises good yield.
| That sown on new ground did not suf-
fer as severely as that sown on old
ground, and this area, even in exposed
fields, Will make u fair crop. The CON
dition of the living plants is rs AS COM
pared with last year. The q per cent.
winteI-killed is being plowed up and
the area put to spring crops. The in
dications now are that the product of
1885 will not exceed A per cent. of the
crop of 1884. Eighteen per cent. of the
crop of 1884 is still in the counties
| where grown, awaiting better cOndi-
ton Of the market. The average price
| offered on March 25 for wheat in local
| markets was 81 cents"
The yield last year was 46,6S1 1921
bushels; Al per cent. of this would be
20, $50, Isl "a bushels. The secretaty of
the board is very conservative in his
estimates usually, and the yield may
be greater than he estimates, especially
if the season shall be favorable. The
following reports from the leading
wheat centre of the state, sent out since
the secretary made up his estimates,
would seem to confirm his statements:
"W. H. Osborn, the most extensive
wheat growing in Butler county, who
has been heretofore harvesting from l =
600 to 800 acres of winter wheat,
planted but 700 acres last year. He is
now plowing up 600 acres cf the 700. 1t
is his deliberate judgment that the
crop this summer will be but 25 per
cent. of that harvested last year. Mr.. |
Circully of Walnut township says the
large acreage and the poor outlook |
will not give us more than SO per cent. |
of last year George Newman of Mil
ton township says the yield will not
go over SO per cent. of last season. Mr.. |
ThelIget of Richland township says we
will not have enough wheat to bread
the county. Butler county is reported |
to have harvested $4,000 acres Of wheat
last year"
The general tenor of reports, howev-
er, is not SO gloomy as this, as they
almost uniformly show an improve
ment over what was anticipated few
weeks ago. Fields that We're consid- |
cred dead are putting on new life, and
under favorable conditions will yield |
onet third to one-half a crop. 1t is too
early yet to speculate upon the extent
of failure to the Kansas wheat crop,
but that 1t will be far below last years |
ticQn.

Benton's Closing DAYS.

/ A correspondent of the National Re-
publican writes: "In the year 1883
Col. Benton resided in house No. 1884 G
street northwest, now occupied by the
Hon. Mr.. Greenleaf, member of the last
Congress. In this house he expired
April 10, 1858, at the age Of rs years.
For the last two years of his life he de.
voted himsefto to literary pursuits, which
were commenced even before he had
entirely closed his active political ca
reer. In this period he completed his
great work, Thirty Years View
wrote remarkable paper on the 'Dred
Scott Deeision,' and commenced the
herculean task of condensing the De-
bates of Congress- which he finally
completed down to the compromise
measures of 1850.
During his last winter death daily
stared him in the face. and was only
kept at bay by the almost invincible
will of Benton. Suffering intensely at
times from complication of disease he
neverless retained his faculties unim-
paired to the last, and on the very
morning of the day of his death sat
propped up in his bed and read aud
corrected with his own hand the clos
ing proof-sheets of the Condensed De-
bates" The faculty had not then dis
covered the recent arts for prolonging
life at the expense of bodily stupOr
and clouded mind. Benton bore with
surprising equanimity the infiictions of
nature without the interference of the
new system Of dealing with patients on
the verge Of the grave, and being left
to himself was enabled by his great vi
tality to complete his literary designs.
Gen. Grant has displayed an equal
vitality, a power of endurance, consid-
ering what he suffers, both from nature
and art, almost without parallel.
But yet it will probably become a cause
of unfailing regret to the world that he
will not be able to complete his great
literary work, 1.-The History of the War
of the Rebellion" embracing his auto
in connection Herewith.
Yet how could the result be otherwise?
Since no amount of human vitality,
will-power, or tenacity to life could
cope with the accumulated troubles Of
body and mind which have been
brought to bear upon him. Sadly he
sinks into tie last slumber; while
helpless nation waits weeping at his
bedside, aud the world mourns q great
soul departing.

Navy Yard Voting.

Secretary Whitney has brought to
public view an interesting picture o1
how voting has been conducted among
the employees IN the Mare island navy
ward under the Republican regime.
The foremen managed the Whole busi-
ness. They prepared the ballots and
gave them in folded form to the men;
the men were required to take them,
and, holding them in plain view, march
to the polls in presence of inspectors
appointed to see that they did their
duty, deposit them in the ballot-bOx.
The men did not even Know how or for
whom they were voting. There was
but one ticket allowed on the premises,
and that was prepared by the foremen,
who. if not acting from explicit direc-
tions from the navy department, were
doing what they had reason for believ-
ing would be acceptable to the depart
ment.
THIS is the style of voting in the navy
yard-and, no doubt, in other federal
estabiishments-und the rule of the
Republican party, whose romantic de-
vOtion to the cause of ciyil-service re-
form has been sounded through the
columns Of hundred organs. and i'm
myriads of resolutions, speeches and
official reports and messages - and
whose passionate demands for IA free
ballot and fair count" In behalf of the
negroes in the South, have positively
exhausted the capacity of human pa
triotism and pathos. What delight
ful illustration of the benigHity of Re-
publican rule were these PROFESSIONS Of
American freeman marching like gal
lev slaves 10 vote as their Republican
skmasters ordered.
Secretary Whitney has ordered the
perenptnry discharge of the offending
| f9remen who organized this plan OF
voting in the Mare island navy yard
They ought to be cleared out in tie
interest of decent government,n - he says
-aud the 4 merican public will echo
every syllable of the declaratioa.-Re,
publican.
