The New York Voice has carefully COM
piled from the U. s. statistics the number
of U. 8. permits granted for the sale of
liquor in the different States, showing the
proportion to population. 1t is an instruc-
live table, and should be studied by those
who think Tor profess to think that there
are more saloons under prohibition than
under license.
1t is TO be rendered that part OF the
government permits are for drug stores,
and that as the proportion OF drug stores ia
constant, the lever the permits the smaller
the proportion of them that will be grant
ed for saloons.
1t should also be remembered that in n
license State the number of U. s. permits
granted to saloons and the number of sa-
looms is practically the same, while in a
prohibiiory State a dozen permits may
represent but one saloon, as each man has
to have U. S. permit even if he Is only
able TO keep his saloon open one week.
Now with this introduction, read the
figures and thank the editor of the Vo.cc
for his care III preparing them.

Ice ShiDuinx.

Some ice is moving from the Kennebec,
notwithstanding the small amount harvested
the past season. The Morses are shipping
from their Thwing's Point houses, while it is
understood that no more ice will be shipped
from their houses on the island until July. A
large four-master was being loaded last week.
At the Cochrane-Oler houses at Carney's
Point, business is lively. Mr.. Barker SAID
that everything was moving in smooth order
aHd that the labor question was all right as
far as they were concerned. Since the sea-
son opened they have loaded nine vessels
taking about 5000 tons. "Vessels are plen.
ty," Mr.. Barker said, "because we have to
work too hard" About fifty men are en-
ployed. At the Russell place on the island,
everything was found going on with its &C.
customei smoothness. Mr. Provins, the su
perintendent, said that they were loading ice
in hurry, and that few crews could better
his. Since the season opened they have
loaded eight schooners carrying about 500
tons. Thirty-eight men are employed.
