Tho Failure Of Prohibition.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune reviews at great length and
with mach feeling the working o,
tho prshibttory liquor law in
Michigan, where it was nominally
iu force for twenty-five years. The
constitutional provision went into
eject in 1850 and thencc.forward
no legal provision for licensing Or
reaalsiing = srade supposed no Ion.
ger to exist was possible. The result
was that liquor was sold through.
out the State without let or
hindranes.
The people Of Michigan at last
concluded that prohibition was a
failure, and in 1875 they
struck the proAibitory clause from
their Constitution end the Legisla.
ture imposed q tax of$l5O ON each
saloon. Tho Tax has sioce been
increased to 5000 and the saloon
keepers are required to give bonds
not to sell to drunkards or minors
and not to sell at all on SUNDAYS
or election days. The result has been
a notable decrease in the number
of saloons. .
We suppose that facts like these
will have no effect on prohibiticn,sts
here or elsewhere but they are worth
repeating Cor the benefit Of sensible,
men who want to diminish drunken
ness and are not fanatically com,
m;tted to an impracticable scheme: :
Again. facts like these vindicate''
the Democratic party from the.
charge, so freely brought against it
by prohibitionists that it is a foe td
temperance because it opposes their
theories. Iv the face of such an.
experience as hal of Michigan the
foes Of prohibition might very well
claim that they are the only friends
to temperance, since prohibition
means free liquor.-New York

Tho popular confidence Of the
people i'll tho President is a thing
which tho managers of both parties
will be wise not to ignore as the
time approaches 70: the summer
campaign. Making due allowance
for all mistakes of experience, and
perhaps Of too great self reliance,
it IL till true that the things for
which the President most stoutly
stands. in politics aud in govern.
ment, are the things which tie in.
telligence, the virtue and the
business sense Of this country believe
in. Any mistake on this point will
be disastrous to the politicians who
make it, Boston Statesman.

Wet and Dry Countries.

In the valley Of the Rio Pecos, West
Texas, there are districts where not a
single drop Of rain has fallen since
April, 1885. The smaller tributaries
of the river have entirely disappeared,
and the drought thus far has cost the
settlers ONE three thousand head OF
cattle. In the upper half of the Pccos
valley n continuous drought Of ten
months is not considered any thing
abnormal; but this year even the
usually rcdeeming month Of March
passed without a drop of rain. and no
relief from the sky, at least, is cx-
pected before February, 1887. The
other extreme is probably the southeast
corner OF Alabama, where siXty-cight
inchos year is nothing unusual.
South America, however. is n country
Of much greater extremes. In the low
lands Of Venezuela the yearly supply
varies from one hundred and fifty 10
one hundred and seventy-live inches,
while on the coast OF Peru there are
districts where one light shower In
twenty-five years is considered a fair
average. Chicago Times.
