The Courier-Journal assures its readers
that "high license has exerted most
excellent influence on the morals of the
community wherever tried. It brings
the liquor traffic under better control. 1t
removes many temptations from the weak
and stumbling 1t increases the revenue s
of the government, and relieves to that
extent the productive energies of the

of vexed social problem. Intemperance
is az evil which has reached fearful pro-

with it in some way or other" All other
methods of dealing with the question

THE MIL VA UKEE PLAN.

''The Milwaukee plan" of dealing with
rioters, as the firing by The militia Oh the
approach of the mob is now called, has
received the hearty concentrations OF
the press elsewhere; witness this from
The Boston Herald
In addition to dispensing a mob befor e
it had time to destroy life and property,
by point blank volley from the militia,
the authorities of Milwaukee have nipped
the Anarchist mischief in the bud by ar
resting twenty of the ringleaders on the
charge of "riot and conspiracy to muir
der" and consigned them to jail under
an amount of bail that will keep them
there. Under this prompt and vigorous
policy, it is not surprising to learn that
'order now prevails, and no more out
breaks are anticipated" Cincinnati and
every other city menaced by such a dan.
ger should meet it upon the Milwaukee
plan. Delays are dangerous.
There is another Milwaukee plan
which it would be well to adopt univers-
ally-that instituted by Judge Mallory
in the trial of August Seidel, a journey
man baker, for the ofense of boycotting.
The case was typical one, known in
every city and very generally tolerated.
The boycotter stood in front of a bakery
and distributed handbills calling upon
the public to boycott the place. In in
ficting the highest fine for a breach of
the peace, Judge Mallory took occasion
to denounce boycotting as sn outrage, an
unlawful interference with mans busi-
ness and the work of dangerous demago-
CUES. He expressed his surprise that
people had SO long and so calmly sub
mitted to this form of mob rule.
This is the end of the open forms of
boycotting in this city, for if safe to say
that Judge Mallory will treat all combi-
nations to interfere with and destroy the
business Of man who exercises the right
to employ men on his own terms as un-
lawful and disorderly, and will infict the
full penalty prescribed by law. His work
with the boycotter has been short, sharp
and decisive, and is a model for the courts
everywhere. With the authorities and
the municipal court ready to suppress or
punish lawlessness, Milwaukee may be
said to occupy most enviable position
among cities. Judge Mallory's action
will be cited ia every city as precedent
for vigorous dealing with boycotters.-|

1t will be seen by the above that the
acreage planted to hops on the coast in
1881 was about one third less and the
Weld 3O,227 bales short, as compared
wi 1884. On the LIST of December the
total amount Of California hops re-
ceived from all sources was Al $40 bales.
The exports by rail and sea and the
amount for consumption was 22.30l
bales, leaving the actual stock in the
hands of dealers and growers at 1925
bales. From July lst to December lst
the overland shipments amounted to
li,40 bales and by sea TO 1853 bales, the
greater part of the latter being of the
crop of 1884.
Ice Oregon crop this yer was q de-
oidsd failure, due mostly to the fact
that growers finding it Impossible to
make contracts at figures covering the
expense of picking and being unable to
ootaip advances on their crop, preferred
to leave them unpicked. The stock on
hand December lst in that State is esti-
mated at 2572 bales, of which amount
ABOUT one third is of the crop of 1884.
What has been said Of the Oregon
crop will apply in some respects to that
of Washington Territory, the yield be-
ing small, "a oHly the best part of the
orep vas picked. rRere was skipped
overland eastward from Washington
Territory Ii, $50 bales, about five-sixths
of which was of the crop of 1885, and
the greater part of which was destined
for the English market. OF the entire
crop of 1885 We have on hand now in
California about SEQ bales, in Oregon
aoo7t 1850 bales. and in Washington
Territory about 2500 bales, making q
total stock ON the Pacific Coast Of the
yield of 1885 Of about 1900 bales. and
owing to the fact that the demand dur
ing the past season has been for only
strictly choice lots. there remains now
of the total of 1900 bales only about
4OC0 bales that would come up to the
standard. and that amount would soon
be used mp should any active demand
arise during the balance Of the season,
when medium grades woald have to be

DIFFICULTY or GETTING MILLION
Millions are talked about glibly
in these times without clear under
standing of the enormous sum repre-
sented by the $50, 900, 600 left by Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, the elder, or the
$500. 900, 00o left by William II. Van
ber5ilt to his sons. A Chicago
preacher helps one to realize the
magnitude of such fortunes by figur.
ing out that il Cornelius Vanderbilt
had been born at the beginning OF
the Christian era and had saved $25.
600 q year ever since. he would not
yet have made up his fortune of $50,
000, 900; and that il VIM. II. Wander
bilt had been q contemporary with
Adam and had saved at the rate Of
&25. 900 per annum he would still
have been far short Of his $200. 000,
900 al the time OF his death. aud
would still have had to toll and saved
for Ellis years in the future before
amassing his fortune Of $500 .00o. 600.
Thst calculation is based ON the usual
chronology. Without such examples
to give one 8 measure, IL is difficalt
TO form . proper conception of such
enormous sums.
