BALTIMORE POSTOFFIGE.

1t is stated upon reliable authority
that Postmaster Neazey will not prob
ably remain in the government service
many months, having found during the
year that he has held his present posi-
ton that the duties of the office are en-
tirely Incompatible with the practice of
law. His frequent visits TO the White
House last month led to rumors of an
early resignation, but it was ascertained
that the President had requested him to
retain the position and devote more time
to his profession. 1t is believed, how
ever, that he will resign early in the tall,
if not sooner.

High License.

At the Maryland State Temperance Al
lance, which met in Baltimore last week,
the Rev. George Elliott, of Union Square
VI. f church, spoke on The Fallacies of
High License" II said: "We are to
oppose high license, in the first place, e.
cause it is a compromise with sin, in a
sense, which the common low license is
not. Being by its very SIZE penalty, it
Is confession that we pay a big sum for

a million miles from each other 1t is
equally difficult of enforcement with
prohihitory laws. There is the same
temptation for secret sale, and then you
will have the open sale and the secret
sale 1t destroys the States power to
regulate the traffic. This power de-
creases as fast as the license increases.
Experience has shown that. You can't
secure the withdrawal or deprivation of
a license from dealer if he pays a very
big sum for it. 1t gives temptation to
the dealer to make large sales-make
every body drink, and drink as much as

constantly ioisted on the common people.
The high license is levying a tribu upon
the appetites of the masses. 1t is sort
of class Legislation. 1t intends to Keep
the poor man, the quiet keeper of a wine
cellar out, so that the proprietor of a
gambling hell, who makes plenty of
money aud can therefore pay the big
sum, can run his place. When Senator
Logan proposed to devote the proceeds of
The liquor revenue to the establishment
OF great school, the public conscience
justly revolted against it. So the high
license. while apparently increasing the
revenue, really debauches the morals OF
the people. But think the entire sub
ject is not dangerous. The high license

THE result in Anne Arundel is not
encouraging to the friends of prohib-

does suggest however the necessity of

county. Many an important contest
has been lost by over-confdence.

$50 majority. So great a change in the
present result was not expected, the Ii
cense people figuring on from one TO two
hundred majority. Though conscious OF
defeat, the lady workers continued at
the polls until within short time of
closing. There was no disorder, and gen
orally good humor prevailed at most OF
the polling places. Church services, at
which prayers were invoked for the sue
cess of the temperance cause, were one
OF the feature of the days contest. The
colored vote went largely for license.
Both sides had been earnestly at work
for several weeks, the anti license people
holding mass meetings nightly and the
advocates OF open bar-roomS working
quietly in other ways. The prohibition
people argued with good deal OF
warmth the moral side of the question,
but maLy of those who voted for license
conteDted that between open bar-ro0ms
and SO called social club system OF dis
pensing drinks, the former was prefer
able. As was the case in 1852, when the
local option issue was first submitted,
ladies were again at the polls, but the
novelty of the thing had worn off, and
voters were not as timid in expressing
themselves as in former years. The in
tiuence of the ladies, however, was felt
to some extent. Thee was something
of scene at the second ward polls, OF
Annapolis. y minister who had just
voted against license, on seeing one of
his church members about to cast bal
lot for license, threatened to erase his
name from the church register if he per
sisted in his determination to vote against
temperance aud church discipline. The
member, however, refused to do as re-
quested, and voted for license The af
