THE DOH LAW.

The affirmation of the cOnstitutionality of
the Dow law in Ohio assures fair trial to an
experiment which promises we'll for the ad-
vance of temperance. The Dow law is not a
high license law, though it produces many of
the same effects. 1t is In fact high tax law.
The payment of the tax by the liquor seller
does not, however license him in any way.
The licensing is separate arrangement and
there appear to be several advantages in this
plan. The Dow law, besides taxing out of FIX
istence large number of the lower and more
miscellaneous saloons, affords opportunity TO the
inhabitants of swall towns to adopt local op-
ton, and this part of the statute has already
been put in operation with the result of
banishing the saloon from a considerable
number of villages. There is much practical
wisdom in the uses to which the Dow law tax
is applied. The money is divided between
the police and poor funds. This is method of
applying the saloon revenue to the ameiora-
ton of the evils which the saloon engendeis.
OF course it may be said that if the State so
far recognizes the pernicious influence Of the
saloons as to make them in part support their
victims, 1t has reached stage at which any
halt short of prohibition is illogical.
This may be true in theory, but it is not
sufficiently realized that ii is almost ways
possible to 20 further in reasoning than in
doing. No theory has ever yet been wholly
translated into action, and experience shows
that when the public mind and the public body
have not both been educated up to apprecia-
ton of the evils of the drink habit. 1t is i'm
possible to force abstention upon the COM
'muuity by statutory enactments The merit OF
the Dow law is that it recognizes the weakness
of human nature, and while providing for a
distinct and salutary advance in the line of
temperance, does not stimulate the hypocrisy
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1886-12-19
a BIZ " At LIE LEAG UE.

The party of action in the British Cabinet
has trumphed over the party of compromise.
Lord Salisbury and Lord AshbOurne have i'm
pressed their views upon majority OF their
associates, and Lord Randolph Churchills pro-
tests have been Overruled. Four Irish men,
bers OF Parliament, engaged in carrying out
Nj. O'Brien's plan for having rents reduced
and paid to a trustee in place of the landlord,
have been arrested at Loughrea. They are to
be prosecuted on charge of conspiracy and
are to be speedily brought to trial. The Gov
eminent have entered the lists against the
National League and are to offer battle in the
courts. If they fail to secure conviction by
jury they will furnish new and startlin e
evidence of the supremacy of League law over
Crown law. If they succeed in enforcing the
law by packing the jury box in the interest of
landlords and by straining existing methods of
judicial procedure, they will deprive the con-
vic:ion of all moral influence so far as Irish
public opinion is concerned. In any event
they have entered into a hand-to-hand conflict
with the National League, which has never
before been so powerful as it is to-day.
The recall of Mr.. Jenkinson to Dublin Castle,
where he is expected to reOrganize the detec-
tive force and to put much of the old machi-
merry IN motion, strengthens the impression
that the Government are reverting to coercion.
Lord Ashbourne, Who really knows more about
Ireland than all his colleagues put together,
has been encouraged by the success of his
Purchase Act to hope that this contains real
basis for settling the quarrel over the land.
He believes that the Ministry have only to
govern Ireland with vigor and frmness in
order to overcome resistance to that act. He
has succeeded in converting his associates, and
coercion is speedily to be introduced with the
assistance of the Liberal Unionists. 1t is pos
sble that the conviction of the National Leagne
leaders can be secured so soon az q Crimes Act,
legalizing change Of venue, arbitrary sele elton
of jurors and the exercise Of extraordinary
powers by justices is forced through Parlia-
ment. But expedients of this sort have been
repeatedly tried and have invariably failed TO
receive moral support in Ireland. That is the
root of the evil of all attempts to govern Ire
land by British law and force bills. The law
is not respected by the people. 1t has foreign
aspect, as Mr.. Gladstone has we'll said. and
the Irish people revolt against it.

SHARP NEXT.

District Attorney Marines work is not done
yet. His present disposition is 10 try Jacob
Sharp in January. We hope he will do that.
He ought to carry the war as soon as possible
into the camp of the bribe-givers. When ne
does he will have on hand the hardest light OF
all. The public, though terribly aroused
against these rascals, has but faint idea OF
the combination of politicians, lawyers and
railway men which is arrayed in solid band
against this prosecution. 1t is far more
dangerous crowd than the Tweed thieves.
Tweed and his fellow-robbers took the peoples
money in so open and insOlent manner as 10
incense every one. 1t was just as II o thief
were to run his hand in your pocket and carry
of your wallet. The public to man was
stirred with indignation and rose up with the
determination of stamping out the knaves.
But the Broadway combination is of another
kind. Through its ramilcations it has trust
worthy agents, almost impossible to detect, at
the bar through al the political districts and
in each party. All the various railroad COM
panies who are now after franchise, or whose
consents were obtained by the same rascally
means adopted by Sharp, are in secret SYM
patty with the combination. 1t has plenty OF
money and is wholly without conscience. The
efforts which it has put forth to save Jaehne and
McQuade are nothing to the subtle, crafty,
fierce and desperate conflict it will wage when
its master spirit, the spring of all its power
and villany, is in the tolls.
And yet. we hope Mr.. MARITIME will lose no
time in throwing down the gauntlet of battle.
The people will not be easy until Sharp is In
Sing Sing Every day Of grace that is given
the combination is only 80 much time in which
to strengthen their network of tricky defences
Let the District Attorney take rest enough to
recuperate his fa,igued forces. and then let
him turn his batteringrams on Sharp.
