HIGH LICENSE OR PROHIBL-
TON.


The Christian Union, one of the
leading religious journals in New
York city, for the purpose of ascer-.
tanning the workings of prohibition in
Iowa, and of high license in Illinois,
addressed letters of inquiry to promi-
nent individuals as far as practicable
in those states, and received between
eighty and ninety answers from each
state. The names of the persons Civ.
ing answers are properly enough not
given, but the names of the towns and
cities from which the replies come are
published, with q summary statement
of the saloons discontinued or in.
creased, if such there be. Nothing
conclusive is reached from these state
ments. Public sentiment is more
strongly favorable to prohibition in
Iowa than in any northern state in
the Union. The temperance sentiment
is far stronger IN Iowa than Illinois
If prohibition could be made a com
plete success in Iowa, it by no means
follows it could be in Wisconsin. The
character of the populations in the two
states is quite different, as may be seen
by the United States census. Those
who argue that what is possible in
Iowa aud Kansas for temperance is,
therefore, equally possible in Wiscon-
sin, do not reason intelligently. The
editors of the Christian Union, after
giving the answers from Iowa and
as before mentioned. covering
several pages of the paper, and draw
ing differences therefrom, conclude as
follows:
"The best legal treatment of the
liquor business is either high license
by the state, with local option to pro-
hiblt in each town, or prohibition by the
state, with local option given to license
in each city containing upwards, say,
Of 5000 inhabitants. The latter plan.
which perhaps is in process OF evolu-
ton in Iowa, has for temperance men
some decided advantage over the other,
because it gives the moral sanction of
The state to prohibition in those CON-
munities where there is fair chance
Of enforcing it by local sentiment"
In respect to Wisconsin, high license,
with local option to prohibit in any
lily or town, is the most practicable
plan. High license is an unfortunate
name. Tax, instead of license, was the
original meaning when restrictions
irst began to be placed on the sale of
piritous liquors. Taxing or licensing
he keeping of dogs is not intended to
encourage the raising Of dogs, but, on
he contrary, restricting and discour-
'ging the keeping of them. II

THE POOR.

The present condition of the poor in
this city and county we are not able to
state intelligently. 1t would not be
surprising if there were more families
in want of the common comforts of
life than is generally supposed. There
is class of people who have but little
or no hesitancy in making their neces-
stiles known when in want; there is
another class who, from feelings of
delicacy, will suffer much priyation
rather than have it known they are
objects of charity. There is probably
less restitution in this city than in
some of the neighboring cities. This
comes from the fact that the manufac-
turing establishments. where large
numbers of men are employed, have
continued to furnish work with more
regularity than in other cities. Where
manufacturing establishments have
suspended operations for months, and
in some instances a year and more,
restitution and suffering have neces-
sarily followed. Such was the case in
an enterprising city near this. The
capitalists of that city are called upon
to engage in works of public utility,
requiring a liberal expenditure Of
money, giving employment to multi
tudes who must have work. A paper
In that city, in making appeals for
measures of relief, says: "To-day we
see men following a load Of coal
through the streets to get the job of
carrying it in; men are begging for
work at any price; the Superintendent
of the poor is pressed for help by those
who used to be liberal in contributions
to aid other unfortunate people," Such
is the labor condition of really one of
the prosperous cities in the state, and
it is paralleled by many other cities
and towns, as the result of the business
depression the past two years. If any
families in this city have been allowed
to suffer for the necessaries of life DUR
ing the rigorous weather, it would be
discreditable to the people and the
authorities. In the country towns it
is hardly supposable that known des-
stitution would be permitted. 1t is no
disparagement to say that the time
is well remembered when the towns
were generally poor; now they are
comparatively rich, and with their
known generosity the poor will be re-
membered.

thousand Republican clerks to make
room for Democrats. There are
many government clerks who have
been in Office for twenty years and
more; these have become as familiar
with the routine of their duties as they
are the road to their homes from their
offices. They have had no occasion to
attend to any other studies than those
pertaining to their legitimate business
hence have grown rusty in school-book
questions for which they have had no
use. A great proportion ofthese clerks
would be unprepared for an examina.
ton such as the board would pre-
scribe. Questions in mining, naviga-
ton, steam power, railroading, besides
any number of mathematical puzzles.
the person under examination are asked
to answer. Should Congressman Cald-
wells proposed bill pass it would open
the door for host of Democratic
young men fresh from the schools, who
are now lying round waiting for some
thing to turn up. Many old men who
have grown grey in the service of the
government would, under this new
scheme, be obliged to step out, and in
experienced men given their places.
The process of turning out Republic
can officials has been too slow for the
convenience of Democratic applicants.
A large proportion of government
clerks in Office are still Republicans,
and hence the plan proposed in Cald-
wells bill to hurry the old clerks out.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
SENATE.

1t now looks very much as if the
President and the Senate would come
in conflict. The Senate, by commit
tee, have respectfully asked the Presi-
dent his reasons for removing certain
officials of good standing, and against
whom no charges or complaints have
appeared. A request so reasonable,
when made, ought to meet with will
ing response, especially as the Senate
is responsible for the character and
standing of all nominations sent to it
for confirmation, and has a right to
know whether any nominations sent
to it have been improperly confirmed.
1t does not meet the case to say the
constitution confers the appointing
power on the President; no appoint.
ment is complete until confirmed by
the Senate. 1t therefore requires The
joint action of both to authorize the
President to commission any of his
appoiniees. 1t is hardly supposable
The Senate will refuse to confirm any
officer simply for political reasons, but
where there have been frequent viola
tons of civil service rules-rules
which the President has promised to
t-confrmatiOnS NAV he with
held. The Chief Magistrate of this
great Republic is equally bound to re-
spect the laws as the common citizen.
The President and other high officials
may have certain immunities, such as
freedom from arrest in civil cases, but,
coming to the strict letter of the law,
the President and his Cabinet stand on
the same level as the most humble day
laborer.

The sad death of Miss Bayard, daugh-
ter of Secretary Bayard, at Washing
ton, has been referred to probably by
about every paper in the union. The
high position Of the lady, she having
been accorded leader in Washington
fashionable society, her death natural
ly puts damper on the gaieties of
life at the National capital, Society
people have been attempting to mistify
the cause of her death, calling it by
different technical names. A Washing
ton correspondent OF the Journal saws
this silly endeavor to conceal the true
cause of Miss Bayard's death should
be stopped; all sensible people in
Washington understand that her death
was the result of over-exertion for a
number of evenings in succession. and
that on the fatal night when death
marked her for his victim she wore a
light dress, low in the neck, short
sleeves, with bare arms. In this
gauEy costume the icy winds coming
through often.opening doors made her
an easy prey to life's destroyer. Let
the deyotees of pleasure tell the truth,
that Miss Bayard came to her death by
exposure in obeyance to fashion.

SCIENCE APPLIED TO AGRICUL-
TURE.

As our readers know, series of Farm
ers' Institutes are being held to promote
in agriculture. The state
appropriated 5000 to pay the expenses
of the institutes. There is exhibited at
each institute a lot of analyses of several
farm products. A pound of milk,
pound of butter, pound of clover hay,
&C., were chemically analysed, and the
several constituents were separated and
each constituent put into a separate
bottle. Mr.. r. F. Roberts has made
for our readers complete record of the
analyses, as exhibited at the Institutes.
A little knowledge of the uses of the
constituent elements in the animal econ
omy will enable one to make a COM
parison of their value as foods. The
protein is the flesh forming constituent,
and the fat and starchy matters make
heat. These analyses are not new to
science or to agriculture, but are never
theless valuable. These analyses de-
monstrate the value of new process
bran as compared with the old, and also
ofnew process oil meal as compared with
the old. This list, if saved will prove
valuable for future reference.

sleep. The word home" thrills some
persons with pleasant associations of
happiness. 1t is the want of home at
fractions that has been the ruin of so
many boys and young men, and, it may
be added, of not few girls and young
women. Many a boy, for the lack of
home amusements, has gone astray
wandering about the streets at night
in search Of some diversion, to meet
the natural demands of his nature,
and. finding none of the better sort,
very naturally drifts into the ranks of
the vicious, and eventually becomes
criminal.
As consequence of a cherries
home case is given. Duting the holt
day season boy was seen OF Main
street. in this city, several successive
evenings, viewing the attractive arti-
Giles displayed in the store windows.
AS he appeared to be generally alone,
he was asked if he had home, and, if
so, would he not be happier there than
on the street? He besitatingly replied,
with Responding voice, and said he
had home, but it was not pleasant to
be there. He was not pressed for the
reason, but the inference was, some
thing wrong in that boys home. If
the facts were known, how many
homes there are in this city in which
there is something lacking to keep
boys and girls at home evenings. and
perhaps fathers, too; it would be a
sad story, yet this is not unlike most
other cities. 1t is true that all homes
cannot be made attractive and inyit-
ing. Where the misfortune of poverty
and want prevail, the model home can
not be looked for, but wealth is not
the chief factor of happy families.
Some just idea may be gained by OBJ
serving the number of boys on the
street corners; and lingering around
the saloons, listening to the ribald talk
of the frequenters Of these resorts.
These night gatherings are the nur-
series Of vice, from which the ranks of
criminals are constantly being recruit
ed. On summer nights young girls
are seen on the streets, going up and
down by twos and threes, perhaps of
respectable parentage, and who have
their mothers leave to take walk,
not realizing that they are watched by
a class of street scavengers who are
always intent on mischief. If fathers
and mothers desire to save their boys
and girls, they must make their homes
happy; where that familiar air,
"Home, sweet home," can be sung
with an appreclative sentiment.
