New York Evening Post.
Since the prohibitory amendment to the Con-
stitutlon was adopted In Rhode Island fort
night ago the curious fact has been brought out
that there is a prohibitory law on the statute
book and has been ever since 1852, as we'll as
another law, passed later, known as the nuis
ance act, for the purpose of reinforcing and
strengthening the stringent provisions of the
original prohibitory law. Since these laws were
enacted another has been passed which al
lowed municipalities 20 license the sale of
liquors by majority vote, and under this latter
law a few cities and towns have voted to grant
licenses, the effect of which was to suspend the
operation of the prohibitory law in those places
for the time being in respect to the dealers who
thus obtain lceases The only effect of the con-
stitutional amendment, therefore, is to render
the license law null and void. prevent the Legis-
lature from enacting another, and give the old
prohibitory statutes unlimited sway. But the
few cities and towns which have been voting in
favor of license include large majority of the
people of the State. and their votes year after
year in favor of license show that public senti-
ment among large majority of the people will
not sustain prohibition. The fact that barely
three-ffths, not of all the people of Rhode
Island. but of those who enjoy the right under a
property qualification to vote, and who took the
trouble TO vote fortnight ago. declared in pet
for prohibition, does not change the public
sentiment of the people in the cities and large
towns-and form of words amounts to nothin e
when public sentiment does not infuse life into
them.

Another Prominent Liberal Declares the
Measure Hopelessly Faulty.
LONDON, April 23.-Lord Selborne, Liberal,
in a letter to the Times attacks certain features
of the Gladstone home rule bill. He pronounces
the measure hopslessly faulty, from the fact
that not one Of the restrictions provided excerpts
from the powers of the proposed Irish legislature
any matter relating to the lives. liberties and
properties of the Queens Irish subjects. The
magistrates, the judges and police in Ireland,
says Lord Selborne, will be the servants of the
Dublin government Referring to the fact that
Mr.. Gladstone's measure excludes from the pow
ers of the Irish legislature all matters relating
to the army and navy, Lord Selborne says there
is still no reason why volunteer Irish army
cannot be raised without passing bill. Lord
Selborne also strongly attacks the land-purchase
bill He asks. upon the ground that fl500O0, 900
sterling will be required to buy out the Irish
landlords, how the sharers in the first ESQ,
100000 provided are to be selected, and
what position those landlords who may
happen to DO excluded from the
first sales will thereafter occupy first, with re-
spect to the collection of their rents, and second.
with regard to the prospects of being bought out
at all. Does Mr.. Gladstone. he asks, expect
that these landlords will have their rents paid
in the meantimeq What security is there that
any government after Mr. Gladstone's will pass
an act to add f100 600 sterling to the national
debt in order to do justice to the remaining
landlords Of Ireland. whom, in the meantime, the
government has already passed into the
hands of the Nationalists, and the great
experiment, which has already cost ESQ.,
OO0, 900. has perhaps proven a failure. If
the question is one of public honor, justice and
good faith, provision ought to be made now to
discharge the whole obligation; otherwise it is a
cruel mockery to the landlords The letter con-
cludes with the statement that the writer is not
surprised that Mr. Gladstone's friends are advis-
ing him to drop the land bill altogether.

MADRID April 23.-An attempt was made
this morning to destroy the church of San Luis,
in this city. An explosive was placed inside of
one of the enormous hollow candles which stand
on either side of the altar. The explosion, in
stead of taking place while the church was
crowded, as probable intended, occurred before
the people began to arrive. The edfce was
badly wrecked. Two sections who were in the
building were badly burned The outrage has
produced profound and widespread excitement
and indignation in the city. No trace to the
identity of the persons engaged in the con-
epiracy has yet been found.

was brought here last night. She denies the

upon her. She is married but is not living with

Rumored Confession Recalls the Circum-
stances OF Joseph Martins Death.
special to the Indianapolis Journal.
.CRAwFoRDsvILLE, April 23-Two weeks ago
statement appeared in the Journal, OF this
city. that man had just died near Romney who
had confessed completely in the death Of Joseph
Martin several years ago. The story has been
pronounced by the Lafayette papers a hoax.
A prominent farmer living near Romney has
taken the trouble to inquire about this matter.
and gives the following statement, which comes
from an uncle of the man killed. Martin was
blowing for wheat IN the fall, and the weeds
we're high. His father was in the barn lot one
evening, when the horses came running
from the field and jumped into
the lot Upon going to the field
he found the dead body of his son, entirely
nude, except a pair of boots, and it was ascer-
tanned that his body had been dragged almost
half mile. He was in the habit of throwing
the lines over his head and under one arm, and
1t was supposed that the horses became fright
ened and ran away, but this was thought inn
probable, because one of the horses was very
lazy. family lived on an adjoining farm, and
one of the young men in the family had been
waiting On sister Of Martins, to which the lat
ter objected Afterward the young man who
waited on the girl, was heard to remark, that If
the Martins were not careful some of them
would get killed, and he even told q cousin of
Martins that he had helped get away with Jo-
seph. This man died soon afterwards, and the
other recently. It is believed that Martin was
shot at and the horses became frightened and
ran away. His hat was found to have a bullet
hole through it, but post.mortem examination
failed to show that Martin died from being shot.
