Prohibition at Washington.

Senator Platt has introduced into the
Senate bill prohibiting the sale of
liquor in the District Of Columbia,
Senator Ingalls, who is chairman Of the
committee, to whom his bill has been
referred, says it will not be stiffied in the
commi.tee room, but will be called up
as soon possible aud an opportunity
afforded for thorough ventilation Of
the subject. Senators Colquit, Wilson
and Blair will move heaven and earth
to have the measure passed, 1t is
probable also that Riddleberger, al
though he is rather gifted with an ap-
titude to look on the whiskey when it
is yellow in the flask, will vote for it,
as he believes in prohibition.
In the house. Mr.. Dingley, of Maine
has a similar bill, but he fears it will
not be called up as most o the mem
bers have not time to pass anv other
than pension aud appropriation bills for
the judicious bribery OF voters in their
districts.
Mr.. Cutcheon OF Michigan has a
local option bill for the District, but it
is opposed by the temperance people,
because by reason OF the fact that so
many of the most respectable citizens
of Washington vote elsewhere. the
election would be LETT practically in
the hands of the liquorites.
Senator Blaia has furnished the news
papercorrespondents with advance sheets
Of his great book on Prohibition. The
subject is treated in the most aggressive,
knock-down manner, and the book is in
consequence the subject Of much DIS
cussiOn.
Senator Blair believes in = grand
national assault on the traffic Local
option is GOOD, but it is waste of effort
that might be used to far more effective
purposes. He says one half of the
effort given these little piece meal
fights, ifdirected to the subject as
national issue would prod uce great
things"

ing penpicture Of him:
"MF. Diekie's oratory is Of the kind
that wins the most respectful attention
to the speakers opinions. The strength
Of it is in the clear and exceedingly
fair argument which he applies to sim.
pie admitted propositions. A man set
against Mr.. Dickie's at the beginning
may at the end still feel that he is
wrong, but must ADMIT that he is re-
markably stong; and upon reflection tn
admissions are likely to sway the resist
ing convietions. There is nothing re-
pugnant or repellant'about Mr.. Dickie' s
argument to any intelligent opponent
thing that can rarely be said of the
argument of an intense partisan. His
style of delive. y is not impassioned. but
a remarkable skill of grafie language
makes him most entertaing speaker tC
the masses. As he warns to his sub
ject bright flush overspreads his
smooth-si aVen cheeks. If you catch
his eye as you sit in the audience you
know at once that he is man of unsu

that until the State accepted new
bond, the old bond of the sureties was
good No such bond had been offered
The contract was tripartite one. be-
tween the lessees, the railroad and the
State, and until they all agreed to the
new contract it could not be valid, and
could not release the sureties. Any
agreement between the railroad and the
lessees surely could not bind the State
The State could only bind itself By is
o,oa action. This action was the accep-
lance of a new bond. The State having
refused to do this, the transfer as far
it was concerned was not valid, and
hence her claim on the sureties on the
old bond was not impaired. They
aided by the railroad, could not release
themselves.
Now the Supreme Court comes and
says th~t the States righs va.
impaired and that the transfer made
without bond was valid.
Upon what ground, does the reader
ask does the court have this opin-
ion?
Simply upon the ground that sohereas
the authorization Of the transfer Of the
lease and The sequcnt release Of the sure
ties on the old bond Is one section Of the
statute the RECRUITMENT, that bond shall
be otrep is IN another section Of the same
statute.

part of this transfer you shall give bond
The State will not waive claim on
one party till it gets good surety from
the other party.
Yet because .hese things didn't hap
pen to be in the same paragraph and the
same section, the State must loose the
rent money from the bondsmen.
So it seems that this money is to be
lost. 1t might have been expected
The curse of God is on all blood money.
The State sold her convicts to death and
agony for the money there was in it,
and now as if by the avengilg DEGREES
ofProvidence, she is to lose the gold for
which she bartered her honor aud hu-
manity. Even a State, if ii would
prosper must do righteousness and
