A High License.

The entire country is turning its atten-
ton to the merits of the Iowa Democratic
theory of High License, and in the discus
sion going on it is generally shown to be
the most effective means of diminishing
the evils of the liquor traffic, and the
cause is growing. The New York San
closes an editorial on the subject by saying:
" Let New York, have high license so
that we, too, may get the advantages of
a measure which works so happily for
public economy and public morals
The high license law, known as the
Harper law, has now been on trial in Hi
nois long enough to enable US to see how
such system of regulating the liquor
traffic works practically in a great and
populous State. The law, passed in 1888,
fixes the minimum license fee for dram
shops at $500, and for malt liquors at $3.50
only in cities, towns and villages, and
authorizes County Boards to grant licenses
on like terms upon petition OF the legal
voters of any town or precinct.
We have reports of the working of the
new system in half the counties of the
State, obtained by the Chicago Tribune In
Cook county, in which Chicago is situated,
the liquor men are most able to prevent the
execution of the law, and yet even there
the number Of saloons has been diminished
from 900 to 1000 and the city revenue
has been increased by more than 81 coo, GOO.
In nineteen other cities and towns there
were, before the enforcement of the high
license, 733 saloons, yielding a revenue of
$50. $50. There are now in these places
only 485 saloons, but the revenue has been
increased to 1888 900.
The high-license fee has had the effect to
shut up the low groggeries in towns and
their suburbs, which are always the resorts
of vile characters, ana the consequence is
less crime and less drunkenness. The

mere children, with the beautiful rose

hundreds of young girls, from IS to %
years of age, who are regarded as being

attended. But they are devoid of that de-
gree of modesty one would expect of young
women of that age. Their language is that
of the woman who has drained the cup of
pleasure to the bitter dregs. Occasionally
one hears them speak of their husbands,
but they speak of them with such degree
of timidity that the intelligent listener is
at once convinced that they are not refer
ring TO the genuine article 1t appears to
be labor OF love lost to even make an
effort to bring order out of this immoral
chaos.
hUNIFICKNCE OF SENATOR sTANFoRD.
A subject entirely foreign to the above,
and one that is being discussed with a de-
gree of profound respect by the better and
educated element of this city, is the I'M
ostentatious philanthropy of Senator
Stanford. At certain period the banker
Peabody was looked upon as the foremost
philanthropist of America He made his
money in London, and expended about
81, 100000 for charity and educational pur-
poses, in his native State, Massachu-
sets. Senator Stanford is now setting
aside about $25,0O0,000 for the anne
Iteration of the condition OF his
fellow-citizens of his adopted State,
and there is no saying how much more of
his wealth he will devote to this noble pur-
pose, thus erecting an enduring monument
to his philanthropic nature, tar in advance
of those of Girard and Cooper. One hears
nothing bat expressions of praise for what
he has done, and it is safe to assert that
there is not more unselfsh man on the
American continent than he. No granite
cloud kissing shafts can perpetuate his
noble name as can the generous deeds he is
constantly performing in public and in pri-
yate. This is not the expressed sentiment
of an individual, but it is the sentiment of
| the entire intelligent masses of the Pacific

THE OLD BROWN HOUSE.

In the old brown house in the square
There is silence, heavy and long,
No footstep is heard on the stair,
No voice is outbreaking in song.
You may peep through the windows dim.
You may ring at the shrill-toned bell,
But the mansion is dark and grim,
For its tenants have said farewell
The grass has grown thick round the door.
Undisturbed is the fly on the pane,
The watchdog so noisy before
You listen and look for in vain.
The fruit ripens fast on the trees.
But only to rot on the ground
And the rOsc-teaycS float with the breeze
Or, lie beaped in fragrant mound.
The birds IN the garden now swarm.
The roses may bloom bold and wild,
For naught plucks them now bat the storm.
Unheard is the voice of child.
Yet sometimes you think you can hear
In the garden or in the hall,
Happy voices, resounding clear.
Or, perhaps, It's a light football
That, descending the stairway dim,
Floats out through the old garden door,
Softly singing an ancient hymn
As she studies her roses Der
Aud ont from the bushes there springs
A lover to stand at her side,
No longer her quaint hymn she sings,
cts century since they died-)
And you'll think as you stand at the gate,
And breathe in the rose-scented air,
The dead tenants have come of late
To the old brown house in the square
