SHARP DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE OF THE
THE OCEAN MAILS.
The debate on the $500, 900 amendment to
the post office appropriation bill continued in
the Senate yesterday after The STARS report
closed, but no vote was reached.
Mr.. Vest opposed the amendment, while
Messrs. Eustis and Hale advocated it.
Mr.. Eustis said that in Introducing the Eads
ship railway bill Mr.. Vest had proposed to give
a subsidy OF $37 500, 900 to a ship railway on
foreign soil, and yet he opposed, as a subsidy,
an appropriation to pay for carrying ocean
mails.
Mr.. Beck denied the incident related by Mr.
Hale several days ago that fifty-two bags OF
mail had been dumped on the wharf at Per-
nambuco. The mail was regularly deposited
there, he said, to be taken by Brazilian
steamers.

Prohibition by local option. prohibit
ton by general laws, and partial prohi-
bitiOn by high license, are more or less
advocated; but If whiskey is such great
evil that the use of it should be abolished
why not go to the root of the matter at
once, and suppress absolutely the manu-
facture of whiskey? But the lawmakers
want revenue from whiskey, and there
fore they would tax the manufacture of
it and license the sale of it; to suppress
tho manufacture of 1t, would cut of
these sources Of revenue-and the govern.
ment must have money, though every
man, woman and child become drunk
ards. IL the government will not sup
press the manufacture of whiskey, drum
kenness should b. declared crime, pun.
ishable by fine and Imprisonment. All
the damage caused by whiskey, comes
by those who drink it; and therefore is
no reason why those who sell or retail
whiskey, should receive all the blame
for evils 1t causes. while the manufacturer
receives none at all, and the voluntary
drunkard Is considered q victim.-M.
