High License.

The Legislature could not do a more
beneficial act than to supplement the pres
ent local option law by the enactment of a
law greatly increasing the license for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. This would
bring additional revenue into the State
treasury, whilst it would diminish the con-
sumption of spirituous liquors as a bever-
age, and the long catalogue of evils conse-
queut upon their Incorporate use. Who
will do himself the honor to prepare and
offer bill to effect that purpose ? viii

General Malone has gone into mining
extensively. He has just organized a COM
pany of which he is the president and bis
son Butler secretary, whose scene of opera
tions will be an old and heretofore supposed
exhausted mine, ard the material, dirt
which has once been subjected to processes
for extracting its precious metals. Ex-
Postmaster Windsor of Alexandria is said
to be largely interested 10 the new compa-
ny, and the dirt referred to is said to have
been thoroughly analysed and found to be

was hanged Thursday night by a band of
vgiIants. After the murder Herrig set out
towards the northern boundary Line, with
the purpose, evidently, Of escaping into
Missouri. Directly after the crime was
discovered a force of men set out to find
him. This was cone about eleven O'Clock
Wednesday night, four miles north of Rec
tor. When found he was asleep under a
large tree. He was informed that he must
die, and he made no protest. In fact, he
said he was willing and ready; he had done
nothing he had cause to regret. His wife
had been untrue to him, and he had killed
her lover, and this he regarded as justice.
Regarding the shooting of his wife, he said
he could offer nothing in the way Of de

tree under which he was found sleeping.

IMPOSING CEREMONIES AT RoME-cELE-
BRAT1oN IN AUTHORIZATION BY
CARDINAL GIBBONS.
In Rome last Sunday began the celebra-
ton of the 50th anniversary OF the sacer-
dotal ordination of Pope Leo XIII. The
pontifcal mass was great success. Thou
sands of people thronged st. Peters Square
early in the morning awaiting the opening
of the Cathedral. Sixty thousand admis-
sion tickets had been issued, and the Cathe-
dral was packed. The Pope entered at
$50 A. NJ, followed by the cardinals in
procession. His Holiness was received
with loud and long-continued shouts OF
s'Long Live the Pope" The music OF the
mass was deeply impressive, and many
persons in the audience were affected. Inc
Popa blessed all present, and left the Ca
thedral at II A. M, the whole audience ex-
pressing its joy by clapping hands, waving
hats and handkerchiefsa and enthusiastic &C.
carnations.
In Baltimore the jubilee was celebrated
at the Cathedral, st. Leo's, st. Ignatius
and other Catholic churches with interest
ing features. From the steeple of st.
James's Church, Aisquith and Eager
streets, American and papal flags fioated;
Notwithstanding the wintry weather and
slippery sidewalks the congregations were
very large, occupying even the standing
room in the aisles. At II A. NJ, the semi.
narians of St. Sulpice, to the number oil
100, in cossacks and SUPPLIES, led the pro-
cession from the archiepiscopal residence
on North Charles street to the Cathedral,
followed by the Cardinal with crook IN
hand, cross-bearer preceding him, and -four
altar boys holding up the train of his red
cappa magma. They entered the Cathedral
by the rear but slightly exposed to the
weather. The altar was illuminated bril-.
liantly, but there were no rchly-tinted
flowers, the only decoration being Tie twin
| ing branches of smilax wreathed among the
golden candelabras. The pure whiteness
of the marble, the altar cloths and the wax
candles was unbroken save by the almost
transparent green of the smilax, and glis
tened like silver mirror under the soft
| light of the candles. The service was a
solemn high mass, of which the Very Rev.
A. Magnien was celebrant, the Rev. Thos.
Lyons, deacon, and the Rev. T. j. McKin-
merry, sub deacon. The Rev. P. ]. Dono-
hue and the Rev. J. T. Whelan, of the
| Cathedral clergy, were in the sanctuary

was on the tVicissitudes and indestructi

THE ANTEcEpENTs OF THE PRESENT
TARIFF.-In his seventh article, published
in the Baltimore San of Saturday, DR.. Ely
very briefly sketches the history of tariff
legislation in the United States to the year
1916. A proper understanding of the pres
ent controversy between tariff reformers
and defenders of the existing high tariff 10
impossible without survey of the success
sive steps by which the present situation
was created. The benefciaries of the sys-
tenn have acquired in the lapse of time
rights 81 which they may not be suddenly
deprived. The jobbery, corruption, n.y.
poorisy and injustice fostered by the pres
ent tariff excite righteous indignation, and
often lead one to wish to see it swept from
the face of the earth but on reflection one
sees that the eradication of even its grosser
evils must be a work of time. Protection
when it first inoeulated the federal taxing
system in 1889 was ''incidentaP' and in a
mild form. Direct taxes We're objection

of the tariff of that time was to weld

ranged from to IS per cent, while the
range under the existing tariff is from q tc
154 per cent Toward the close of the
eighteenth century direct taxation was
greatly resorted to fer federal revenue, but
it disappeared when Jefferson became
President. The tariff was raised repeated.
ly up to 1916, but till that time revenue was
its leading motive and defense. After that
date the cry protection with incidental

policy of revenue with Incidental protec.

will be described in DIR. Ely's next article.

The PUBLIC SCHOOLS PRosPEROUs.-The
forthcoming annual report of Superintend.

make very favorable showing for the pub.

report the total number of schools in the
State this year is 2, 40 ; number of pupils,
1926, 1874 number of school-teachers, 1861.
Superintendent Buchanan shows very con-
clusively that the public schools have pros
pered wonderfully since the democrats re-
gained control of the State.
The New York Age, the leading organ of
the coIored people in the United States,
says: ''We may as we'll admit that no
President since Abraham Lincoln enjoys
30 thoroughly the confidence of the people
az President Cleveland. He has opinions;
he is honest; he hiss courage. The people
appreciate a man of this character, even
when they do not subscribe to all his views
of public policy. He is an extremely dau.
gerous man to meet at the ballot-box. His
strength is deceptive"

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

This has been a decent campaign thus
far with two exceptions; both are Demo
cratic; both are assaults by Democratic
managers and unscrupulous agents upon
General Harrison. Both charges have been
repudiated BY the Chairman ofthe National
Committee. But it is strange fact, one
calling for explanation, that while Mr.
Brice denounces the preferment of these
charges, and expresses his adherence of
them, his secretary continues to circulate
them, and sends out campaign literature
by the ton that retails the mendacious dol
lar -a-day and labor strike stories. Has Mr..
Brice no control over his secretary? Or
does he do the graceful and apologetic in
fcont. while consenting to the scandalous
littleness of his committees chief employe
in the background Republicans can at
least congratulate themselves that their
hands are clean, that neither the party
managers nor any of the file have thrown
any mud at Mr.. Cleveland, made any as
saults upon him not justified by the cam
paign issues, or have INDUCED in any per-
sonaiities. So far as they are concerned it
has been, is and will be kept a clean cam
paign. Now that the proofs establish the
utter falsity of the dollar-a-day and labor
strike libels, and that General Harrison has
given both his emphatic denial, will the
Democratic press have the decency to take
down the flaming lies from their column
heads?

MARK THE DIFFERENCE.

Ii 1856 Benjamin Harrison, United States
Senator, voted for, spoke for, labored for
bill! to prohibit the employment of convict
labor or its products upon Federal works
In The present quarter the Administration
of Grover Cleveland purchased forthe United
States army, wagons made in Tennessee by
convict labor at % cents a day, and per-
sisted in doing so against protests of repre-
seniatives of free labor interests.
The Administration of Grover Cleveland
in 1887 bought blankets in England for the
United States army, because 80 cents a pair
could be saved by suspending the duty, as
may be done for United States supplies.
April 10, 1886, Senator Harrison pre-
sented memorial of the knights of Labor
of South Bend, Indiana, and on the o1st, of
the Knights of Labor of Ekhart, Indians,
against the employment of convict labor on
public work. April 80, 1886, he presented
similar memorial from the Knights of
Labor of Indianapolis.
In 1887 President Grover Cleveland ve-
toed the bill to prohibit the employment Of
convict labor on public works, or the use of
the products Of such involuntary labor on
such works.
General Harrison advocated, reported
and iabored for the best and most direct
Chinese restriction bill ever introduced in
Congress-the Fair bill. Mr. Cleveland
only signed the Scott exclusion bill when
he dared not veto II, and after the Demo
cratic minority OF fourteen votes in the
reconsider the vote by which the bill
passed.
