No man to-day can start from the
Treasury Department and drive or bo
driven down the broad avenue, that ought
to be the pride of the nation, that lies
between the Treasury Department and the
Capitol gate, without being sore In limb
and body before he gets there, and sea-
sick besides, as the Senator from Vermont
well suggests.-Senator Hale in the Senate
yesterday.
This is remarkable utterance TO be
solemnly made upon the lloor of the
United States Senate, where the latitude
of debate is not supposed to extend he
yond the limits of truth and common
sense. To say that the Senator from
Maine is mistaken in his statement is the
mildest form of criticism applicable to it.

At the election in 1884. the total
number Of votes cast was u little over
10,000,00O or about onc-siXth of the

tion OF them arc voters. but of course
it is not assumed that all the voters in
the United States have Joined in these
memorials.
But, even admitting that there are
two and n half million voters among
them, which is an excessive estimate,
what possible chance would there be for
carrying the amendment proposed, either
by the election of Prohibition lcgisla-
lures in threc-fourths of the States or
Prohibition conventions in two-thirds of
the StatesP
The friends of the movement must be
depending on an enormous reserve force
in the different States which has not sig

gress, or that the strength of the Prohi-
bition party is increasing at rate UNI
procedented in the history of parties.
At the same time, as we have said before
and continue TO believe. there is no Just
reason why the question should not be
put to the people in the manner proposed.
Tho experiment is well worth trying for
various reasons, both moral and political.

After all the extravagant denuncia-
ton of the condition of Pennsylvania
avenue, and other streets of the Ma
tional Capital, indulged in by Senators
yesterday, there was refreshing cool
ness in the remark of Mr.. Spooner, of
Wisconsin, that there is no city in
this country or in Europe where, in q
general sense, the streets are better,
wider, with more adequate and beautiful
shade and in better condition than the
streets of Washington are to-day" 1t

an unanswerable rebuke to large
amount of inveracity and bad temper.

This number Is fully one sixth Of the

fair that where six out OF every thirty
