INTEMrERANoE IN ENGLAND

Recent statistics published in the
Pail Mall Gazette show that the num-
Der of arrests in England on the charge
of drunkenness and disorderly conduct
has increased from S2,l0B in 1861 to
1924 In 1884. This is more than 9O,-
900 over the number justified by the
increase Of population. In the first
named year siT5,oo9oOO was spent for
liquor. In 1870 they paid s205, 100000
more than the increased population
warranted. Only 1853 petitions for
divorce were filed in 1861; in 1884, 703
such demands were made. Against
1888 cases OF suicide in 1851 are to be
placed s,2ls in 1884, while in the same
period the census Of lunatics has in
creased from ay,el7 to 7G7e5.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
1t is evident that Senator Van Wyck's resoiu-

years of its existence, and that for the subse-
quent i've years IL has paid q net annual
