The South seems considerably agitated by
the local option movement. The theory of
this business ia that the majority of each
community shall say that the minority must
take their drinks at home. As people will
eat and drink what pleases them best, no
public has in the premises is to see that
hose vending liquor shall conduct their
b usiness in an orderly manner, and ths
further right to prohibit sales to minors and
ak the traffic to the utmost capacity it will
bear. High license will accomplish more
for the public benefit than prohibition or
ocal option.

The defeat of Gladstone in the House of
Commons last week wonli be more crafty
If it had really decided anything. The
measures proposed for the pacii cation of
Ireland were not only wrong in principle but
vicious in their details. Bad as Is the pres
ent state of affairs, We fail to see how it wonld
be improved 10y such remedies No evil
which exists in Ireland would be removed
by making her a tributary province and
deprivlng her OF representation in the British
Parliament. But the outlook for our trans
atlantic kinsmen is not AN enviable one. A
dissolution of Parliament aud a general .lec
ton will kcsp up the excitement. And
when the elections are over the Irish unes.
tion MAJ be as far from 4 ssttlem.nt As ever.
The case is indeed one of peculiar difficulties,
and the final outcome cannot safely be
foretoli.

The caucus system has failed in England,
as 1t always has and always will ev erywhere,
when great party is divided upon funda-
mental principles. But this is no argument
against the rule OF King Caucus. who only
r equires the submission Of his subjects where
ions, with the right to differ In non n-esssn-
tial matters. government by party nsceasi-
tates government by oancns. 1t Is only the
Independent Mugwump who can rejoice
in holding caucus alone with himself.
Less aesthetic workers in statecraft have
ound out that without combination nothing

What seems to he needed is plan such as
that applied to the Riverside drive" in
New York City. Instead Of cutting rig
idly straight avenue through these rapidly
improving pleasure grounds, let the present

Museum, the Smithsonian, the Agricultural
Department, and other attractive buildings,
be greatly wdened, well graded, and paved;
let the crossings at the business streets he
modified, perhaps like those in Central Park,
II this be not too expcnsive-at any rate, 80
as TO avoid outrageous iclting aud II pos
siblc let the present obscure north drive he
likewise improved so as 20 make different

would certainly he more picturesque than
that Of a straight avenue, of which there are
already plenty of examples here, and there
is no reason why this should not divide with
the Soldiers Home the popularity of fash
ionable drive, besides beiug much more ac-
cessible TO persons on foot. Action by Con.
gress will doubtless he required, as the
various parks and the streets are under diff.
ferent official control, ani concert of plan
aud action will be essential.

The bill now pending on the Calender o
the House proposing to incorporate the
Cable Street Railway contains some pro.
visions that deserve especial attention
First-It authoizss the issuance of 81, 900,
600 of stock.
second-lt authorizes the issuing of
IL ,2so, 600 of bonds-making the aggregate
of stock and bonds 50, ESQ, 900.
Third-lt requires only ten per cent. OF the
amount Of stock subscribed by each sub.
scriber to be paid in.
Fourih-lt provides that the residue of
the subscriptions shall be paid cLen called for
by the company.
Now, assuming that the bonds will pay for
the construction and equipment of the pro
posed road, and 1t is believed that they will
be at least adequate for that purpose, 1t be-.
comes apparent that the subscribers will
never be called upon to pay more than ten
per cent. of their subscriptions, and thus
they will get -, 600, 600 of stock for a pay.
ment of ten per cent. OF that amount, or
5000, 900.
II this company is incorporated the hill
should be amended so as to provide that the
stock shall be paid in full before any bonds
are issued, and il the stock is sufficient for
the purpose of construction and equipment,
then that bonds may be issued, but enly to
such an extent as is necessary TO complete
construction ana equipment, or that stock
shall only be issued to the amount of money
actually paid in on that account. Some safe.
guards of this kind should bs provided.
Such provisions as are above suggested
would prevent the overlooking this proposed
corporation with issues of stock and bonds.

The history of pnblc buildings in the Dis.
trict shows that they are so long in the
course of erection that before they are com.
pleted 1t is found that they are not adequate
for the purposes designed. This is due to the
penurious policy of economic egotists, who
parcel out the annual appropriations on the
plan that only so much shall be allotted
each year to public buildings, without regard
to public necessities. "Keep down the ex-
"penses," is the cry ofthis grade of statesmen
True economy requires that where the
necessity exists for public building it
should he completed as speedily as due
regard to the stability of the structure will
permit. This is the course adopted by en-
terprising private citizens. 1t is the course
that wealthy country should pursue.

AS matter OF great interest to many business

quired by the Government-were purchased by one
bureau OF supplies, they could he purchased more

That the cost would he lcss because the profit OF the
