RESULTS OF HIGH LICENSE

High license went into effect in Milwaukee
on the LIST OF July last when 23O dealers
took out license costing them 81, 900 each,
On May 2, 1884. there were 535 saloons in
the patrol limits, and the license has been
successfully raised each year to the present
figure with the reduction If saloons as
noted. 1t has been impossible, of course,
Tor low dogeeries' to exist, and it was ex-
pected that the present almost prohibitory
figures would he most effective in promoting
temperance, more So, it was believed, han
absolute prohibition could be. But the
statistics OF arrangements for drunkenness
have increased each year since then, num-
ber'ng Tor the six months ending De enbsr
81 last ,G5S, for the same period in 1856.
I,l96, and Tor the like period in 1855. 953.
These figures do not seem to commend the
measure on temperance grounds, but it ia
stated in explanation of the increase
during the last six months that the
city has been under Il new system Of
ponce government, which has increased
the efficiency vi the department |
10 the extent OF increasing it's vigilance in
order and enforcing the ordi-
names. 1t must not be forgotten, too,
tEat the city has grown in population dur.
ing the period, though not at the rate that
these figures show, nearly 25 per cent. in
SIX months. 1t is stated. however, that
he police records for the year 1887 show a
decrease in the local crime, which
may be attributed to closing up the 'low
1ogser'es.' 1t is in these, and through
luarrels having their origin in them, that
much OF the brutal class of crimes in cities
ave their inception, and their suppression
'annot fail to result in beneficial effects to
! large city like Minneapolis. The full
benefits OF high license, however, might be
demonstrated il the police courts were to
a'se the standard OF punishment for
to a limit approaching the
Ugh license for liquor selling.

In addition to climatic disadva

In addition TO climatic disadvantages of
a depressing nature, the Mississippi Valley
maintains its reputation as the cyclone
afflicted section of the Union. The dis.
aster at Mount Vernon, Illinois, seems to
have been as extensive in the work OF
destruction and loss Of life as any of it's
predecessors and added to it's horror fire
among the ruined buildings which cremated
victims caught in the ruins. This is an
from which the Northwest is
happily exempt.
