The Law and Order League of La Crosse
Wis, undertook to strictly enforce the law
requiring saloons to close on Sunday. The
saloon keepers in retaliation insisted that if
their business was to be stopped every other
kind of business and labor must cease as
well, and demanded the strict enforcement
Of all the Sunday laws. So the telephone
Office was closed and the telegraph office
also, the latter even refusing to receive asso-
clated press dispatches for the morning
paper. Horse car drivers and conductors
were arrested, the editors and compositors of
the morning paper who were found at work
were taken into custody, and it was threat
ened to arrest such of the choir singers as
sang for pay, though this threat was not car
ried out

PORTLAND OR ST. JOHN.

There is great discomfort among the busl-
ness men of st. John, N. B., over the pros
pect that Portland is to continue to be the
winter port for Canada. As is well known,
1t is expected that the Short Line, the Me-
gantic route across the State of Maine by
way of Moosehead Lake, will be finished
by the Autumn of 1887. When this line is
completed the Maritime Provinces will have
for the first time direct rail line to Mon
treal, and thence to the great West reached
by the Canadian Pacific. New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia have been induced to aid
in building the immense all-rail line, which
it has been the ambition OF Sir John Mac
donald to complete from Vancouver to Hall
fax, by the prospect that they would partiei-
pate in the profits of the commerce between
Western Canada and Europe During the sum-
mer months ocean steamers from Liverpool
and Glasgow go directly to Montreal by the
ST. Lawrence river. In the winter this
route is lmpractibable, and the ocean steam
ers seek Portland or Boston as the points
whence their cargoes can be sent to Western
Canada by the most direct routes.
1t had been represented to the people of
st. John and Halifax that the tedious wind
ings OF the Intercolonial road rendered it
impracticable to make their cities winter
ports until the Short Line across the State
of Maine should give direct line to the west,
The people of ST. John have lived in hopes
of this; agents Of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way have been to examine their harbor and
have even limited that st. John should be
prepared for advantage in the future, unde-
fined, but vaguely prophesied.
Now, however, the business men of st.
John have been rudely awakened from there
dreams of ocean steamers sailing into the
Bay of Fundy. The Canadian Postmaster
General has published call for a contract
with some company for carrying ocean
mails. 1t is understood that this contract is
in reality subsidy, intended to maintain ga
fast line of first-class transatlantic steam
ers" for the benefit of Canadians and their
trade. This contract is to go into effect in
the spring of 1888, about six months il will
be observed after the Short Line will have
put St. John in direct communication with
the West. And it is the wording of this cali
for contract, which will be in force for ten

The friends Of the law taxing oleomarga-
rine anticipated that it would greatly check,
If it did not stop entirely, the sale of that ar
ticle. The experience of week since the
law went into force seems to show that they
are doomed to disappointment. The esti-
mated income of the government from the
article for the year, based on the receipts of
week, is from million to a million and a
half of dollars. This will be derived from
the tax of two cents per pound on the arti-
Gle, and special taxes on manufacturers and
wholesale and retail dealers. What per
cent. of the revenue will be derived from the
special taxes we do not know, but a reve-
nue. of million and half of dollars indicates
pretty big sale Of oleomargarine. As the
country doesn't need this extra revenue, and
as the tax isn't large enough to kill the bust
ness the only benefit that is likely to come
from the law is that it will compel dealers
to let their customers know what they are
buying. 1t will not be possible to palm off
0leomargarine for dairy butter without in
curing serious danger of getting.nto trouble
with Uucle Sam. That is great benefit,
though it is not the only or the chief
one the farmers looked for. The inten
ton Of the farmers was to tax the spurious
butter out of existence, the same way the old
state banks were got rid Of, and the original
billput the tax high enough to do it, Congress
cut it down, however, and turned it into
revenue measure, something its originators
never intended it should be.

Lord Salisbury's speech at the Lord May
or's banquet indicates that it is not Eng
lands intention to take the initiative in the
settlement Of the Bulgarian trouble, but that
she will be glad to assist in bringing about
peaceful solution. The Premier thinks
the first move should be made by either Tur-
key or Austria, both of which are far more
deeply interested in the fate of the Balkan
municipalities than England. Turkey. how
ever, is practically impotent Austria talks
well, but how far she is ready to back up
her words with actions remains to be seen.

Those clauses which stipulate as to
landings in winter months when the st.
Lawrence is closed, provide that the mails
shall "be received and delivered respectively
by the contractor at Liverpool, Londonderry,
Ouebec. Halifax or Portland, as the ease
NAV be-" etc; and that the steamers shall
smalse Halifax the terminal port in Canada
and terminate the winter voyages at Port
land. or such other port as the Postmaster
General Of Canada may designate or approve
for that purpose, calling at Halifax ON both
the eastward or westward voyages for mails,
passengers and freight.
There can be no doubt from this wording
that Portland is contemplated as the winter
port of Western Canada for ten years more
at least, In spite of the existence of the Short
Line. This is the view of the St John
Board of Trade, and meeting has been held
this week to devise some means to change
the intention of the government The feel
ing in the city is voiced by this comment in
the St. John Globe:
We were TO be the Liverpool of British North
America. Where is the evidence of it now? Our
harbor WAS to be filed with the nayies of the
world. Where are they? Our ships would float
on every sea- Let their diminishing number prove
how false this is. At least we would do the Win
ter business of Canada and ust as the railroad Is
approaching completion which might afford some
justification for this faith the government show
that they regard IL as a heresy, for they propose
to substitute line Of mail steamers to call at Port
land for ten years, and they say nothing whateyers
about st. john.
A few are inclined to extract a little COM
fort from the indefinite expression that the
Postmaster General may designate Portland
or such other port, as he may see fit, but the
general opinion Of the Board of Trade seems
to be that Boston is thought of rather than
st. John. A resolution was unanimously
passed that a memorial be forwarded to the
Dominion Government, asking that in any
contract to be made for the conveyance of
mails, passengers and freight between Eng
land and Canada that the port of Saint John
shall be included, with the view of making
| this port one O., the Atlantic termini of the
system of railways now approaching com
pletion. and that no subsidy be given to or
contract made with any line of steamers
which shall not terminate their voyage at a
Canadian port both summer and winter"
The object of this memorial is to shut Port
lard out of the trade which it now enjoys.
But the business men Of st. John have
reasonable fear they cannot convince the
Postmaster General that all the stories about
the fogs Of the Bay Of Fundy are myths and
they acknowledge that st. John has not the
harbor accommodations that Portland has
AS to facilities for handling freight they
think that these could be supplied by 1885,

The Bulgarian Sobranje has elected Prince
Waldemar to the vacant throne. As he is a
brother OF the Czarina it looks as if the Bull
garians had pretty effectually succumbed to
the wishes of the Car, and that Russia
would work her own will in the Bulgarian
principality for the future. Armed oc:upa-
tion will now be entirely unnecessary. SO
Russia will avoid a a collision with Austria,
and at the same time get all she wants.

Since the election the Democrats in Massa-
chusetts are becoming quite resigned to pull
in the same yoke with the Mugwumps; and
Colonel Goldman and his friends are taken
into the fold and protected as if they had
been prodigal sons Of the Democratic party.
When they are attacked by the New York
World the Boston Globe comes to their res
cue after this fashion:
After all. what is the matter with the Mug
wump? The World appears to chafe a little be-
cause somebody says that the President is riding
in coach while the Mugwump sits on the box
and drives. Well, even so, if the passenger is
going where he wants TO go, at a good smart pace,
and the Mugwump Jehu Is not charging too steep
a fare, why not let him go on driving? So long as
the Democratic parry gets there in 1888 why
grudge the industrious MugN imp the honor OF
handling the ribbons in Massachusetts? We in
vite the World TO consider whether, on the whole.
IL is not the part Of wisdom to let the coach go on,
take an inside seat along with the President, and
stop abusing the driver, who evidently means
well and is quite useful? The rumble of MIR.
Baine's coach is audible at no great distance be-
hind, and while we were quarreling with the
driver he might whip up his horses and give us
his dust.
The Democratic party was never known to
cast off anybody out of whom it could make
anything.

The strike in Chicago is going to bring

To NY Wife.

Why need you care dear wife. or heed
The passing of your early grace9
What though the lilies supersede
The springtime roses of your faces
What though the azure Of your eyes
Has mellowed to a softer bluei
The fairest tints that deck the skies
Are caught from twllight's fading hue
Why should the ripened fruit regret
It's summer bloom, howe'er so FART
Why need you sigh. though Time should set
His crown Of silver on your hairi
The sweetest fragrance Of the rose
Is from its fading petals pressed,
And Nature spreads her earliest SHOWS
Above the flowers she loves the best.
What care we for the vanished years,
Save for the fruit their summers brought;
What care we for our fallen tears,
Save for the rainbows on them wroughtl
Why should we mourn the joys we shared,
Or see them perish with regret,
Since on the fruit our hearts have Jared,
And memory keeps the rainbows yeti
What though our winter time he's come,
And summer buds and blooms expirei
Love hath an ever radiant home,
And bids us welcome to it's Are.
He dwelt with us through all the spring:
We sheltered him from summers heat;
Now at his hearth we'll sit and sing,
And let the wintry tempest beat.

There never was yet prima donna who sang as

well after marrying as before Gerster has had
a baby. and is now reported to have lost her
voice. Sembrich has a baby, too The effect in
the latter case may not be disastrous, but it will
be deteriorating. Patti made her fame before
she was married. She is one OF the few great
singers who has preserved the freshness of her
voice after matrimonial adventure. Parepa
Rosa made her name and fortune before she
married her little manager. The sameis true of
Nilsson. Neither had children. Jenny Lind
lost her voice when she married and had babies
Clara Louise Kellogg, knowing the risk, con-
cluded not to marry. Nevada, every body knows,
has a baby. The result on her vocal chords has
not yet been announced. Further illustration is
unnecessary. When a woman gets married and
has baby some Of her vocal talent is sacrificed
