DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT


For the purpose of learning the expert
ence OF Kansas upon the subject IA letter
was recently addressed by the Chicago
daily NcWs to every probate judge in that
state asking the following questions:
How does the number of saloons in your
vicinity and the amount of beverages sold
at this time compare with the number OF
saloons and the sales prior to the adoption
of prOhl bltlOn measures
w hat Is the state OF crime, particularly
that class of offences which grow directly
out of the use of alcoholic beverages, a.
compared with the period preceding pro
hibition in Kansas
This information was sought from the
probate judges for the reason that these
officials are directly concerned with the
administration of the prohibition law,
and, in consequence, have exceptional
opportunity for arriving at intelligent and
definite conclusions. The replies show
that the questions asked by the
people is answered overwhelmingly in
the affirmative. Only five counties-Sheri
dan, Ford, Clark, Republic and Harper
pronounce the law unQuaiiiedly failure
in kingman it is frankly admitted that
the law is not enforced : in Rush, TregO
Riley and Clay, although the replies are
rather in the nature of opinions as are al
most all of those above mentioned, instead
of statement of observed fact, they are
rather favorable than otherwise. With
these exceptions the answers show a de
crease in the Use of Intoxicating drinks
in Kansas, ranging from 30 to % per cent
and in crimes and offences growing direct
ly out of the use of such drinks decrease
of from 30 to 90 per cent. 1t is worth no
tciug that the counties which pronounce
prohibition failure are surrounded by OF

over Importation Not Decentralization.

The speech of Senator Morrill, of Yer
mont, delivered on Thursday proves con
clusvely that the man whose name was
affixed to the tariff of 1861 has lost none
of his vigor and ability to discuss the
leading question now before the Ameri-
can people The speech is one which the
friends of protection should circulate by
tens of thousands during the next three
months, in order that the people may
have time to consider the unanswerable
arguments in behalf Of the system which
has insured to this country such wonder
full industrial development One point
which Mr.. Morrill, emphasized has attract
ed the attention that its importance de
mands. 1t is that the United States is
not suffering from over.production, but
from over-impOrtatOn. That is, if our
markets were not glutted with the pro
ducts of other nations which our own
manufacturers can furnish in sufficient
quantities to supply the demand, our own
factories and labor would be constantly
employed. In other words the people OF
the United states will not suffer from
production if other nations would
not produce more than they can consume
ana make our country the dumping
ground for their surplus. To show the
extent Of the imports Of manufactures
which are produced at home in ahund

A FINE COASTER.
The Elegant New Turnout of the Red
Cloud Coasting Climb of Geddes.

The Red Cloud CcastIng club, is the
owner of what is claimed to be the finest
and most expensive pair of hobs in this
country. The length of the board, which
is IL inches wide and made of one-iuch
pine is 10 feet. Around the edge runs Il
nickle plated inch band, and above it "A
nlckle plated railing which the coaster
may grasp. The board is covered with a
handsome red plush cushion made espeCi
ally to fit On the front of the board and
over the front runners is an iron wheel %
inches in diameter, by which the pilot Will
guide the hobs. The spOkes of the wheel
are guided and the circle is bound with
maroon cord. The pilot sits on an iron
seat covered with maroon dyed wool,
placed Just back of the wheel, and his
heels rest on nickle plated stirrups which

an eagle with outStretched wings. On
each side of the board is n trough, IN
which the coaster places his feet. On the

letters "R. c. c. c." The runners are Il

These are the eight largest values of
goods imported which come into active
competition with home production. Dur
ing the fiscal year which ended June 30.
lSS2, the impOrtations of these goods were
so heavy that they glutted the market
and forced the closing of many American
factories and workshops. When the for
eign dump of good. had been gradually
cleared away our own factories and in
dustrieS started up slowly, giving EN-
ployment to our people and thereby max
ing tens of thousands larger consumers.
This business revived a year ago, but with
the revival here Europe increases its i'm
portation of its surplus of goods which
were never 50 cheap rs now. Now there
Is no reason in the world why 3O,0OO.UOt
worth of the goods manufactured from
wool might not he made at home ut fail
price. Two or three things conspire to IN
crease the importation of these goods
among which are the reduction of the
duty and the wrong construction Of the
tariff act of 1883 respecting the duty on
Woollens, extensive differentiation by
foreign houses importing such goods and
the capriciOuS edict of fashion, which
leads people to pay third more for Il for
eign fabric than they will for an Ameli
can one. What holds in regard to manu-
features Of wool Is equally true of cotton
goods. But for the influx of such goods
at prices often below their cost, three
fOurths of the S30.000,O 900 of the cotton
fabrics imported during the last fiscal yeal
might be manufactured in New England
giving employment to thousands OF the
most skillful workers and ailOrding pro
iitable investment for capital. TakeaWay
the large quantities of these goods which
come TO us from the oyerproduction OF
people whose flow wages forbid them tC
he consumers and there is no over produc
ton by American producers.

A Sad Accident In South1ngton-
Drowned in n Cistern.
SoUTHINGToN, June 4.-Joseph Medling
lives in handsome residence on Meriden
avenue He is WE'LL o-do and his wife and
three children had happy home, but it was
turned into a sorrowfu1 one. The pet of the
family, little Carrie Meta Medling, two years
and four months of age, fell into ten foot
deep cistern at half past o'clock this even
ing, and when taken out was unconscious
and in spite of strenuous efforts of the physi-
clans died two hours later. At half past 6
the yard was crowded with sympathetic
neighbors trying to console the heart-broken
mother. The little child was on table and
Drs. James Fl. Osborne and 1. P. Fiske
were laboring over the little form with an
electric battery. The physicians bent over
eagerly every few minutes, but were not
encouraged by the signs of life. The story
of the accident as learned in the excitement
is as follows: Mrs. Medling was in the front
yard talking with lady, and her Burt
Medling rushed up to her and asked for the
baby saying that the cover was off the cis-
tern. The mother rushed to the cistern at
the northeast of the house, and as she saw
her child at the bottom screamed wildly.
Her husband heard her, and there being
ladder handy had the child out of the TWEEN
ty-eight inches of water in few minutes.
He labored over the unconscious child and
in few minutes the physician arrived,
messenger having been dispatched. ALL was,
however, of no avail.

COMMITTEE ON STREETS

Sidewalks to be Relaid In Various
Parts of the CIty-An Appropriation
To Continue the Strengthening Of
West River.
A meeting of the Committee on Streets
was held in rooms 10 and II City Hall last
evening TO consider several recommendations
of the sidewalk inspector for the relay of
sidewalks and curb and grade of walks in
various parts of the city. Among those con-
sidered and recommended were the following
relays where needed: Court street north
side, from Artisan street to railroad bridge,
with brick, and on south side, from State to
Orange street, with flag; Dwight street west
side, from Chapel to Martin street; Broad
street both sides, from George to Cedar
street, also recurbing; Whalley avenue north
side, from Blake to Norton streets; Crown
street in front of No. 276; Exchange street
both sides, between James and Lloyd streets;
Auburn street west side, between Oak and
Mulberry streets; James street both sides,
from Grand avenue to Wolcott street. The
work on all the foregoing was ordered to be
done before September LIST.
The curb and grade of sidewalks on both
sides of Ellsworth avenue, from Stanley
street to south side town farm, and Ellis
worth avenue, from Stanley to Chapel
street, it was voted to recommend, the work
to be done by August 1st
The matter of relay of sidewalks on the
west side of East street, from Chapel to Mar
tin streets, and on the north side of Con.
gress avenue, from Ward to West str sets
was tabled until the next meeting.
The committee examined a map of the
proposed layout of streets across the old
town farm, as prepared by City Engineer
Hill, but took no action.
The engineer also exhibited a map of the
proposed Strengthening and widening of Laf-
ayette Place and the committee voted to
recommend that the widening all be done on
the east side, leaving the west side intact.
1t was also voted to recommend an appro-
priation of 81, 900 to continue the straighten-
ing of West river during the present sum
mer. This work will be across land now in
the town of Orange, but which will be in
New Haven when the river is Strengthened
the center of the river being the dividing
line 1t will also carry the work of straight
ening a short distance below West bridge SO
that the work of changing the bridge to con-
form to the new channel can be done early in
the spring.
