This shows decrease of SO per cent. These
figures represent almost exactly the decrease
in the number of saloons. No candid mind
can fail to be powerfully impressed by this
statement. 1t is safe to say that no other sys-
tenn for the restriction Of vice and crime could
produce such astonishing results in our great
cities. The press of Philadelphia have also
stated that there has been great decrease in
the number Of dsOrderly houses. But we have
testimony from many other sources The three
years trial Of High License which was had in
this city up to the time that Tweed repealed
the law told precisely the same story. The
number Of Sunday arrests was diminished by
that the law had not only been emnently
successful as measure Of finance" but also
as ga powerful reinforcement of all the eie-
ments which contribute to the public sobriety
and virtue" More recent experiments show
the same results. In Minnesota the evil
dence is overwhelming that drunkenness
and other forms of vice and crime are less
prevalent, that elections are purer and poll
tics less degraded. The same testimony comes
from Omaha, where High License blotted out
the low dives and thieves haunts and where
police records prove that the dimnution in
crime is in exact proportion to the diminution
of the number of saloons. The same results
have been seen in Chicago. In short, if there
is community in which High License has not
had this direct and powerful influence for good
morals, that fact has never been made known.

THE STATE CANALS.

The canal season will be officially closed to-
day. 1t practically closed when the recent
great storm set in. The report Is that the
boatmen have not done well this year. Several
things have contributed to their embarrass-
ment. Low freight rates prevailed for several
months there were serious breaks on the west
ern division during the summer; potion of
the Erie has steadily been in bad condition
When the State, after an exhaustive discussion
of the canal question in all its phases, decided
some years ago to remove all tolls. it was con-
fdently predicted that the golden age of canal
navigation would ut once come in. Well the
free-canal policy has now had fair trial, and,
although the results attained justify its adop-
ton, they scarcely meet the best expectations
Of those depending upon the canals for a live
lihood. OF late years New York has appro-
priated large sums to pay for enlargng and
improving her great system Of Waterways.

The last game in the college football series
appears to have been marked by more foush-
ness and less skill than any of its predecessors
OF course, football cannot be played IKE tehllS'
Int there is no excuse for smuggling ana gen
oral rough an6-tumble combat. The umpire
sbould be a man of frmness, and should eXer-
cse his authority whenever occasion arises.
In Yesterdays game the players seem TO have

lessness and more science would have been
creditable to both teams.
few DAYS ago the country was HORNED
TO read of the incredible cruelty inflicted oy
q respectable citizen Of Northampton, Mass
on a "white slave" But slavery in these DAYS
is not confined to Massachusetts. The piratical
OYSTER dredgers Of the Chesapeake, who carry
ON their business in defiance of all that the law
has been able to do thus far, habltualy get
men in their employ on false pretences' keep
them on board the boats with no opportunity
70 escape. and treat them with marked bru-
tality. This is disgraceful state of things In
q civilized community but Maryland has found
itself powerless to make change. 1T is now
proposed to apply to the Government for

must be taken with these pirates, whose con-
duct in two respects is inimical in high de-
gree to the common veal.
The election in Holborn. in the heart OF
London, shows gratifying Liberal gain, and
this constituency falls in line with Southamp-
ton, Southwark, the Isle Of Thanet and other
divisions, where there has been a notable in
crease in the Liberal vote. The Conservative
candidate in Holbon is elected by a majority
of 965 in total vote of 1881. In 1886 the
majority was L. 01 in a vote Of 5,60l. The
Liberal vote has increased in two years from
1. $50 to 3433; the Conservative from 1861
10 4.398. In other words. while the Tory
vote has increased some 20 per cent, the in
crease on the other side has been not less than
rs per cent Only one inference can be drawn
from this namely, that there has been no re-
action in the tide that for some time has been
pretty clearly setting in the direction of Home
Rule.

committed suicide because he owed So so for rent

It is 10 be hopel that it will not be necdful
to proceed to the dreadful extremity of employing
cannon to extermnate the oyster pirates. 1t is
well known that the crustactans are excessively

over Chesapeake Bay and die of fright, friends
and foes would both confess that it had been
better not to have gone to war at all.

Among many things for which the public
has cause to be grateful at this iocund season
is the continuation. in all its pristine bloom and
vigor, of the great Jones County Calf Case, which
has embelished the calendars of Iowa courts for
eleven years. If the fifth appeal TO the SUI
preme Court is successful the case will presently
be tried for the seventh time. The Innocent
creatures in whose behalf this noble contest is
wagcd were valued by a conservative appraiser
at S45. and the litigation has cost about $4,000,
but this is small sum to pay for all the fun with
which it has diversified decade.

The Chief Inspector of the Brooklyn street

timorous lady who is waiting for So ex-
cessive is his poiteness and so constant are his
attentions to the gentler sex, that he neglects
to take note of the long intervals between the
cars of certain lines and the OvercrOwded state
OF those cars when they do come up. The Fiat
bush-ave. cars cause more complaint than those
of other lines. but whenever he is appealed to
for assistance he ioculary remarks that the in
tervalS between those cars never exceed two
minutes. and that there is no lack Of seats The
truth is that between and o'clock passengers
obliged to wait from six to nine minutes
night and night Cor a car and two-thirds Of them
have to stand from the Inspectors office as far
as Seventh or Eighth ayes. That all this dis
comfort and inconvenience is unnecessary Is
proved every summer. when the number Of cars
is greatly increased in consequence OF the Coney
Island traffic and everybody is accommodated.
1t is an outrage upon the long-sufferng COM
munity that is dependent on this line for transit
that SO few cars should run during the winter.
The picl<pockets who infest these cars during the
crowded hours could well afford TO pay the
management q handsome commission for enforcing
its penunous policy.

Due WestNCommencements

We yield space to the interesting account
of the Due West Commencements.
Erskine College is the oldest Denominations
al Institution in the State, and 1t has the
largest endowment Of any college in this
part of the country. It's buildings, including
the Society Halls, are large and elegant struc'
lures located in the midst of q beautiful grove
OF the choicest oaks.
The steady growth of the institution in
public favor bears the best evidence Of the
merits of the institution, and the probility is
that the celebration Of the semi-centennial
Commencement next year. will end the most
proprous year in the history OF the college.
The Due West Female College is one OF the
oldest, II not the oldest, institutions in the
State for the education Of our daughters, ana
we can safely say that no State can boast OF n
superior institution, and that in very few
States can an institution of equal merit be
found. The instruction In this college Is
thorough, embracing every branch of female
education. The style, cultivation, ard refine
ment which is impaired to the young ladies
OF this college pre-eminently fit them to reign
as leaders in society or to be enshrined IN our
hearts as the queens OF our homes.
In every department which lends grace
and a charm to woman, may be found the
most faithful, efficient, christian teachers,
who are themselves worthy exemplars in the
practice of those. womanly characteristics
which make her adorable in the eyes Of man.

A Taxpayers View of the Matter.
EDITOR Press and Banner

Editor Press and Banner:
We have watched with interest the progress
of the discussion between our county officials
and "That Expert" At first we had some
hope that our county officers would be able tc
show that they were misrepreSented by the
grand jury, but 1t seems they and their
friends are powerleSs to remove the stigma
that has been placedupon them by this inves'
legation. Wise indeed were those who made
no reply to the presentment as made by the
expert, for surely those who did have been
"handled with gloves off," as they deserved to
be-
AS we see 1t. this war upon the expert is un.
fair and unjust. The issue should have been
made with the grand jury and not with him
bad faith in not assuming the responsibility
of all the expert did. He was employed to dc
the work and report, (Which required more
nerve and brains than most men have) this
he did, and we believe to the satisfaction oi
seven -cighths Of the people of Abbcville
county. 1t should have been no hight OF his
but since 1t has been forced upon him he has
accepted the Issue and has proven himself as
able to defend his cause in newspaper con-
troversy Us he was in pointing ont the leaks
and errors in their respective offices.
An editorial in the LolOndesCiLLe Il dUeTllSe7
in discussing the situation, says among other
things, "Thc grand jury went TO the trouble ol
appointing committee who with an expert
made complete examination OF all the coun'
ty offices" We would suggest that the coun'
ty has been we'll paid for their trouble.
He also states that 1.-THE county officials
against whom the grand jury admonish for
tiIeir irregularities and offences are men of
high reputation and ability and can defend
themselves" TO this we would say let them
do so, and let brothers-in-luw, nephewS and
aggricved Trial Justices stand aside. Again.
he says, "lf the irregularities and Offences
did exist and were committed, ought not the
jury To have instituted proceedings against
them?' We unhcsitatingly answer Yes, aud
hope it. is not too late to have another recon.
sideraton when all are present and nave all
priltcd during their term Of service.
There Is evidently II misunderstanding
among the grand jurors, and by relieving
those Of their number who are related by nf-
flnity or conSanguinity from further partlc-
ipation in what would seem an unpleasant
task to them. we believe the matter can be
settled in n way that will reflect credit upon
the jnry and be satisfactory to the county.
The S!trnter L4drdnce can then see "what sort
of stuff the grand jury of Abbcville county Is
made Of" TAN PAYER.
