Tlsza's Speech and Austria's Prepa-
tionS.

Premier Tisza's speech in the Hungarian
diet, while calm and exact, set forth state
of affairs which is abundantly exciting and
disquieting. The measures which Austria
has taken to assure the safety of the from
tier" as M. Tisza expresses it, would on this
side of the Atlantic be considered sufficient
to constitute state of war. On peace
footing the standing army Of the Austro-
Hungarian Empire amounts to less than
three hundred thousand men,-a small force
compared with the half million soldiers OF
power like Russia, Germany or France. But
Austria is not now on a strictly peace foot
ing. The number Of her soldiers has been
greatly increased since the unfavorable turn
of Bulgarian affairs has sent Russian troops
marching down towards the frontier; ana
Austria is in such state of preparation that
in case Of war she could bring nearly mil

having from eleven to thirteen batteries of

thousand more guns. This estimate does not

of the finest in Europe, has $1,000 men,
$4,000 horses and nearly 5000 carriages.
This immense and expensive force which
Austria-Hungary musters to assure the
safety of the frontier" as Premier Tisza
puts it, is merely regular force. There are
besides militia enough to bring the whole
fighting force up to nearly million men.
OF this militia there is the Austrian land
wehr, commanded by the Archduke Renter,
and numbering between one and two hum
bred thousand men; and the Hungarian
''honved," numbering 10000 men, and COM
manded by the Archduke Joseph. OF the
effectiveness of Austria's great force there is
some reason to doubt Sir Charles Dixie, In
his work on the armies of the Continent
has spoken rather disparagingly OF 1t, and
of its facilities for meeting sudden russian
advance. In modern warfare the effective
ness of an army depends largely upon the

practice of mobilization; and in few hours
they can put into the field an army arrayed

in Europe that in the Austrian army there

compartments, followed by her wooer, while
the women of the encampment throw every

to prevent his passage, and applying willow

In an admirable letter to the PRESS few
days ago the Hon. ]. II. Drummond sug
gested several ways in which the cause of pro-
hibition had been injured and was likely to
be injured in the future. Ii we should add
another to them it would be the suggestion
that the cause had been injured by encourag-
ing the public to judge the prohibitory law
by too high a standard. OF course the enc
mics of the law are only too well pleased to
have it judged by high standard. the high
er the better. But it is surprising how in
this particular its friends have played into
the hands of its enemies. By setting it up
as papacea, not only for the sale of.intoxi-
eating liquor, but also for the drink habit, by
attempting to offset the exaggerated stories
told by the enemies of the law Of the exist
ence Of rumshops and drunkenness, by state
ments equally exaggerated Of the absence Of
both, they have succeeded In establish
ing in the public mind for the testing
Of this law far higher standard than is
applied to any other law under the sun.
Thieves are still numerous in Portland
but nobody because of that fact pro-
claims the law against larceny failure
But because there are rumshops here, the
prohibitory law is pronounced delusion
and sham, and change is called for. No
other law need entirely abolish the evil
against which 1t is aimed to win approval
that test is only applied to the prohibitory
law. In our opinion one Of the best services
its friends can render the prohibitoyy law Is
to induce the public to judge it as they
ind0a other laws Inv what IL acpomnl she's
rather than by what it fails to do.

In the Senate, recently, Mr.. Davis, of Min
nesota, presented notable petition. 1t was
signed by one hundred and fifty-nine per-
sons and it asked that tea, coffee, drugs and
medicines should be placed on the free list.
No one of the petitioners seems to have sus-
pected that coffee and tea have been on the
free list for good while, as have quinine
and about all the drugs and medicines that
could really concern the citizens OF Mime
sofa. The Minneapolis Tribune suggests
that very much OF the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed in Minnesota with the tariff eyinces
Just about as accurate information on the
subject as was possessed by the hundred
and ffty-nine petitioners. "We have free
trade orators here in the Northwest" the
Tribune says, "whose whole knowledge Of
the tariff and its operation is evolved from
their inner consciousness. 1t is in their
minds that the tariff pinches. 1t may be
well therefore to take with grain of salt the
stories of the free trade journals that Mime
sofa Is against the tariff. There may be a
sentiment in favor of tariff revision; but a
wise revision of the tariff is and has always
on proper occasions. been favored by the
party Of protection. Such a revision would
not in the least tend to the destruction Of the
protective system.

1t would naturally be supposed that gen.
tleman Of Gen. Dow's standing and expert
ence would not publicly make criminal
charge against anybody, unless he had in
his possession evidence to prove its truth
and permission to use it. But it appears
from Gen. Dow's statement to the Mayor
that the charge of bribery he prefers against
two policemen in letter to the Portland
Herald last Saturday, rests upon the testi-
muny of person whose name he is not au-
thorized, or disposed, to give He must first,
he says, consult his informant. The readi-
ness of the General to make a criminal
charge on the testimony OF third person,
and his reluctance to give the name Of that
person so that the facts can be investigated
by body whose right and duty it is to in
vestigate them, are in strange, and by no
means creditable, contrast.
The Portland daily press., 1888-01-31

The Boston Post affirms that "the worst
feature of the operation Of constitutional
prohibition in Portland, according to the
Rev. Mr.. Bayley, is the encouragement which
the unregulated sale of liquor has given to
the drinking habits among young boys"
This is offered by way of argument against
the adoption of prohibitory law in Massa-
chusetts. Assume for the sake of the argu-
ment that under the prohibitory law in
Portland encouragement is given to drink
ing habits among young boys, is the en-
eouragement given young boys in Boston
under a license law any less? If we could
assume that no shops existed in Boston but
licensed shops, then perhaps that might
be the case, because the proprietors OF
licensed shops would probably.exercise some
care as to the people to whom they sold.
But such assumption would be in contradic-
tion of the fact. for everybody knows, and
the Post will not presume to deny, that in
Boston and every other city where license
prevails. there exist many shops that are not
licensed. These shops stand on precisely the
same footing as all rumshops in Portland
They are doing an Illicit business, and like
Portland rumshops they ask no questions
concerning the purchaser of their goods. 1t
is enough for them to know that the man or
woman or boy who asks for liquor has the
money to pay for it. That is all they are
concerned about. Now the same influences
which are at work in Portland to defeat the
complete abolition of all rumshops are at
work in Boston and every other license city
to defeat the abolition of these unlicensed
shops. Indeed the problems which Boston
and Portland are trying to solve are after all
very similar. The former is trying to abol.
ish all rumshops Of certain kind, while the
latter is trying to abolish all without dis
elimination. Neither city has succeeded
yet. But Portland has this advantage, that
when she solves her problem she will be rid
Of all her rumshops, while Boston will only
be rid Of part of hers. Meanwhile to con-
tend that prohibited rumshop in Portland
gives more encouragement to boys to learn to
drink than an unlicensed rumshop in Boston
