The Prohibitionists of New Jersey
look with great disfavor on the high
license bills pending in the Legislature
of that state. The meeting of their
Essex county association on Wednes-
day night was addressed by Mr.. John
r. Anderson of this city, who defined
license as "absence of restraint" and
quoted, as strong testimony in favor of
the Prohibitionists, the remark of Pres
ident Woodman of the New York Ex-
else Board:
The more money you get from the
liquor traffic in revenue, the harder il
will be to convince the tax payer that
prohibition is the right thing. There
is no doubt of that. Nothing is So de-
bauching to the taxpayer as the money
consideration which accompanies the
question as this, utterly fallacious as it
is.
The lecturer also spoke of the state
of things at Minneapolis, where There
is absolute prohibition to eleven
twelfths of the city. 1t is felony to
establish saloon outside of the pest
limits" which he pronounced to be not
high license but restriction, and un-
satisfactory to the "moral sense" of
reformers.-N. Y. Star.

Last Nights Entertainment.

A tOlerably fair house greeted W. J.
Fleming's company in Around the
World in Eighty Days" at the opera
house last night, and were treated to al
unusually good entertainment. The
performance throughout was good, and
the leading characters proved them
selves equal to their undertaking. The
scenic effects were somewhat lacking.
but it was not the fault of the troupe
management, as car load of scenery
which the company carries was here
and would have been used had the
opera house been in condition to dis
play it. Mr.. Fleming is at the head of
a good company, and it gives us pleas
ure to recommend him to our sister
cities.
The best part of the program how
ever, was that enacted between the
fifth and sixth acts, when w. J. Flem-
ing, the manager, stepped before the
curtain and gave the audience an IN
expected, but highly appreciated talk.
His subject was divided between him
self, his company, the audience, the
opera house, and last but not least, the
manager of the opera house. His ad-
dress was very pointed, and in it he
scored the opera house manager most
numerically. In our opinion his talk,
although impromptu, abounded in we'll
deserved criticisms, and we trust it
will be effective. The audience evil
IDENTITY appreciated Mr.. Jennings re-
marks, and displayed their feelings by
prolonged applause and cries of good,
good!'
If Mr.. White has no time to properly
look after the opera house, let him re-
sign at once, and some one be placed in
charge who will attend to it. The peo-
pie of our city are becoming very weary
of the present MANAGEMENT.

Cody's Social Success and Views on
the Cattle Business in the West.

Buffalo Bill told of how, while enter
tanning the four Kings, the Prince of
Wales had remarked, "Well, Mr.. Cody,
l don't suppose you ever had four
Kings together before 90 To which
Cody replied, Your Royal Highness.
L have held four kings before, but
never the royal joker BESIDES"
Buffalo Bill considers His Royal
Highness the finest gentleman on earth,
with plenty of grit In him.
The correspondent then asked Cody
his advice to the cattle men, Il would
say TO them" he replied, ''hold on, and
within three years it will bring you
out. would say so because they arr
going to have market right at home.
| would say to the cattle men that they
are the proper persons to control the
market and not the middle men, who
only sell on commission. l repeat, the
producers are strong enough to break
that ring, and they will do it." Cody
said his choice was the Herefords.

A Confessed Scoundrel's Praise.

In the course of an article the New
York Sun says it is not too Euch to
say that Mr.. Cleveland is in many re-
spects superior to either Grant, Hayes,
Garfield or Arthur-that he is more
patriotic than either of them, and that
he cherishes a due respect for the law,
which one, at least, of them did not
and more of the same sort of flattery.
And this strikes us as very funny
coming as it does from the man who
made himself conspicuous, only little
more than three years ago, by
his daily abuse and deuncia-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland--from a
man, for instance, who on Oct. Is, 1884.
said that Cleveland was 'tattooed with
shame" who declared on Oct. Is that
Cleveland was "a man of dull intellect
and degraded life." who denounced
him on Oct. 10 as ''leprous with i'm
morality" who spoke on Oct. 80 of
1.-The absurd and offensive effort to elect
as President person so unworthy in
intellect and so disqualified in moral
reputation as Grover Cleveland" and
who, on the eve of election, talked of
1.-The confessed baseness of Cleveland's
character"
Mr.. Dana had the right to attack Mr..
Cleveland in 1884, and be has the right
to praise and support him now-but

ship it to the western counties Of Kan
sas for spring seed. 1t will charge
nothing for transportation, and will sell
the wheat at cost, taking mites from

Public Opinion.
HIGH LICENSE AND ITS EFFECT.

HIGH LICENSE AND ITS EFFECT.
The one question presented to the
legislature, therefore. is whether it will
accept the high license principle and
give it effect. That this would very
materially reduce the number of places
at which liquor is sold, improve their
character, and lessen the evils which
flow from the traffic, while it largely
increased the public revenues from
that source to meet the expense ell
tailed upon the community through the
evils of intemperance, has been aptly
demonstrated by the experience of other
states that have tried it.-New York
