TBE New York Sun in discnssin.

The New York Sun in discussing
the liquor problem, pertinently re.
marks that experience shows that pro-
hibition is impossible in execution,
but high license is actually enforced
wherever it has been imposed, and
the testimony as to its great practical
benefits is without contradiction. 1t
diminishes tue number of liquor sa-
looms, improves their character and
the character of those who keep them,
makes every licensed dealer an ally OF
the authorities in compelling obe-
dience to the law, diminishes drunk.
enness and brawling. and brings into
the public treasury q vast amount OF
money, thus decreasing the taxes and
enhancing the prosperity Of the COM
munities which enjoy its benefits.

SOME weeks ago a stranger was
found dead in the woods near Wurz-
burg, Germany. He was buried as
o Catholic in consecrated ground
Soon after it became known that the
deceased was Jew, and his body
was disinterred and re-buried with
Hebrew rites in the Jewish cemetery.
Since then it has been discovered that
the man, though born Jew had been
baptized and received into the Prot
estant church His third interment
is not yet recorded. Cremationists
may use this much buried person as
an argument in favor of their method
which admits of no such vain repeti-
tions.

WAR TO THE KNIFE.-We men,
toned yesterday in the CAPITAL, that
Congressman Findlay and other
prominent Baltimore democrats were
after the scalp of Mr.. Morris A. Thorn
as, the newly appointed Indian agent.
They have laid before the President
and Secretary Lamar series of grave
charges in writing protesting against
bis longer continuance 10 Office; and
Mr.. Findlay has interviewed both
gentlemen and given them verbal
explanation of bis grounds of action.
Mr.. Findlay told the President that
this obnoxious appointment Of Thorn
as was made by Senator German with
out any consultation with him as the
Congressman from the district. 1t is
received with derision all over the
State, said Mr.. Findlay, and as long
as thesname Of Morris A. Thomas re-
mains on the list of appointments il
will be reproach. He said Mr.. Cor
man, with whom he has never quar-
relied. is disgusting the democrats Of
the State by bis folly. Mr.. German,
continued Nr. Findlay, is one Of the
men 10 public life who has escaped q
public scoring, but be viii be peeled
alive this fall. There is frantic de-
mand from the people for an indepen-
dent movement, and it viii como like
q torrent. There Is war and war to
tbs knife, Mr. Findlay concluded, on
his part against the pretensions Of Mr..
Gorman.

Mr.. German called on Secretary

Mr. Thomas 10 be q faithful party

bis usual GOODNESS and equilibrium,
when be exclaimed, these selfstyled
reformers," abiding to Messrs. Find
ley, Keyser and others. "are continu-
ally making war against all active
democrats, but had not word to say
against various offensive partizan re-
publicans now holding Office in Mary
land who have been rated for many
years as desperate and inscriptions
political managers, acting in constant
violation of every principle of civil
service reform"
Congressman Compton was also
present and endorsed Mr. Thomas as
"a bright, intelligent, courteous, cour-
ageous man and devoted democrat =
Mr.. Thomas has been promised q
fair hearing, and assured that justice
would be dono him by the appointing

The SHORT LINE r. R.--It il now
definitely determined that the Short
Line railroad between Annapolis and
Baltimore viii be built and open for
travel early next spring. A syndi-
cate of wealthy capitalists have enter
ed into an agreement to furnish the
necessary capital, and have placed a
large amount of money at the call OF
the President and Directors of the
company The agents OF the CON-
pany have secured the large lot be-
longing to Mr.. George King, at q Q
head of Bladen street, on favorable
terms, for a depot. 1t is most de-
sirable location, being withia two
squares of the State House. The
right of way through the lot Of Messrs.
Jno. r. and d Il. Magruder has not
been secured because of the high val
uation placed upon it by the owners;
nor have arrangements yet been eff
fected with Mr.. Pearce through that
portion of Strawberry Hill farm own
ed by that gentleman. 1t has been
decided therefore to summon juries OF
condemnation upon these two proper
ties at once.
When these rights of way are Sc
cured, the company will have most
desirable route to the Severn river at
the Horse Shoe; and the work of con-
struction will be begun without delay,
as it is the intention of the company
to commence the road at this end OF
the line, and push it forward as rapid
ly as possible.
Between the Severn river and the
West Branch of the Patapsco. the
company will experience but lite diff
iiculty in securing rights of way, as
the holders of property through which
the road will pass, fully approaching
its great value, have been very gener
Gus in granting the right of way, in
almost every instance we believe,
without compensation other than the
advantages that will accrue to them
through its construction.
The value of "a short and direct rail-
road communication between our city
aud the commercial metropolis of the
State cannot be over-estimated. The
many natural advantages ofour city as
place of residence and for trade, COM
merce and manufactures will be seen
and appreciated; and, to our certain
knowledge, availed of by gentlemen
of wealth and business qualities, when
the road is opened for travel.
The two or three gentlemen who
have so persistently, 50 untiringly
labored to accomplish this result, are
deserving of all praise from the peo-
pie of this city and the northern por-
ton of Anne Arundel county.

The Distinguished Patient Improving-A
Question of Medical Ethics.
NEW YORK, March l2.-General Grant
was much stronger yesterday, and better
in health than he has been for many days.
He was so well that he did little writ
ing and worked foE some time on his
military "reminiscences, the first he has
done since his serious attack of Tuesday
night. He did not sleep very well, but
he had much sleep during the morning.
He partook of liquid food generously
Yesterday. The General has always been
light eater, and now takes larger
quantity of food than when in perfect
health. His pulse was little lower than
it has been at any time during his illness,
and his temperature but little above the
normal. Cocaine has not been applied
to his throat for three or fo1r
days. 1t is only used to
deaden or relieve pain, and as
there has been an absence of all pain for
that period, it has not been necessary to
resort to it. He retired early last night
in better condition than usual. DR..
Douglass appeared much encouraged by
the progress of his distinguished patient.
Alter MS last VlSlI TO MN last ul5nt, NC
said
"The General is very well indeed. 1t
is no longer necessary to use either slim
lants or narcotics to quiet him. He is
doing WE'LL"
Norm ADAMS, MASS, March I'm
E. Brown, cancer doctor, has been called
to New York to examine the case of Gen
eral Grant. The physicians who are now
treating the General will not allow DR..
Brown to prescribe unless informed OF
the nature of the Doctors remedies
which, he says, under no circumstances
will be done. DR.. Brown treated his
father successfully for trouble similar
to General Grants.
