From the Freeman of West Vir-
ginia:
The saloon is a mischievous, mur-
derous outlaw and nuisance.
1t is the prolific breeder of vices.
1t is the corrnpter of our boys and
destroyer of ous !. .oung men.
1t is the constant inciter of riot and
murder.
1t is the brazen insulter of our wo-
men everywhere.
1t is the most vicious and malicious
enemy Of the home.
1t is satan's school house and the
drill room of devils set over against
our free schools and churches.
1t is nest of vipers in the very
bosom of society.
1t is the breeder of moral malaria
wherever it comes.
1t is a perpetual insult to common
decency, and o continuous outrage on
public rights, anywhere and every
where it opens its maelstrom of mis-
cry and death.
IF these things be so-if the saloon
really is mischievous, murderous
outlaw and nuisance. always and
every where, can there be any reason
under the sun, why the saloon should

ROBERT J. BURDETTE ON CONTINENTAL
TEMPERANCE.
If there is one passage in the letters
Of American travellers in Europe more
tiresome than another is this: Dur
ing our six weeks stay in Paris we
did not see single drunken person" F"
Then they travel through Switzer-
land, Germany. Austria, Italy and
Spain, and all France, and still they
do not see q drunken person. They
attribute the sobriety Of the people TO
the fact that every body drinks wine
and beer; drink it oil the time, ard
lots of it, with no high license and
prohibition nonsense to bother them;
consequently they never get drunk.
Well, row, tie only inferance one
can draw from these remarkable let
ters is either that the writers them
selves were blind drunk all the time
they were in Paris, or the Partisan
Grunkard is most successful bider.
Because while our travellers last year
did not see single instance of drunk
enness in Paris, the official police
records state that.the police of Paris
saw and arrested, on an average, $50
people every day between January
l and April 80, for being drunk on
on the streets. So many drunkards
are not arrested in New York, and
vet these travellers of ours always
contrast the sobriety of Europe with
the excesses of America. 1t is just
as we'll to bear in mind the official re-
port while reading these letters, and
perhaps if the writer's drank less and
thought more they would remember
that official returns will not always
agree with letters from the guidebook.

HIGH LICENSE.

HIGH LICENSE.
None are apparently more interest
in securing high license than liquor
dealers themselves. Mr.. G. Metz,
one of the leading brewers in Omaha,
Neb in letter of advice to the trade
in New York. writes under date of
January 90. as follows: High Ii
cense $4,000 in the cities. and $500
in the towns) has been of no injury to
our business. We are positively GER
tain tnat were it not for our present
high license law Nebraska would TO-
day have prohibition. In our opin-
ion high license does not lessen the
consumption of liquor If left to US,
we (the liquor dealers) would never
repeal this law. There are a great
many diffiulties at first for the brew
ers and liquor dealers to get o high
license law in good working order.
bu. after year or two you will GER
tainly find it to your advantage over
prohibition.
The Tribune gives US much food
for thought nowadays In speaking
of the Kansas Decisions, it says that
the "bumptiousness and intolerance
of the liquor men, their disregard OF
of legislative restrictions, their at
tempted dictation in politics, and their
demoralizing influence on legislative
bodies have been powerful aids to
Prohibition. 1t advises them, if they
would not see their business destroy
ed, to range themselves definitely in
favor of high license, since "the mod
Grafton of the advocates of high Ii
cense stand between the liquor men
and prohibition" This is what we
have always believed but did not
suppose the high license advocates
would acknowledge it.

Four Natives ofzanzibar Murdered
in the Streets.
tits Done by Order of the sultan, Who
Says lie VIII Have Others Treated
In n similar Way.

LONDON, Dec. ia dispatch from
Zanzibar says that in pursuance of the
Sultan's orders four natives who were
awaiting trial for murder were horribly
and cruelty executed in the streets OF she
town, their heads cut off and the booics
left where they had fallen, exposed aud
uDguarded, until the evening of the day OF
execution. The Sultan has also ordered
that twenty-four prisoners, including
one woman, who had been sentenced
for life, be put to death in similar
manner during the next week, few
to be executed each day. The British Con-
sui has vainly protested against these
atrocities. The Sultan has proclaimed
that in future he will be guided by the
Mohammedan law only. He has bestowed
the power of capital punishment on the
local governors, and has ordained that
their sentences shall not be subject to op-
peal. News has been received of an out
break between the Arusha and
Nasal tribes. The former tribe
had enticed Nasal warriors into
making cow-lifting expedition, and
during their absence the Arushas roided
the Nasal settlement massacred the old
women and mon and children, aud seized
the younger women for concubines. They
also carried Off 1000 head of cattle. The
Nasal warriors, returning from the expe-
dition and finding their homes devastated,
lamented for three days, and then COM
menced a war against the Arnshas. which
will probably last for three years and re-
suit in the devastation of the country west
of the Kilima N jaro Mountain.

LONDON, Dec 20.-A dispatch from Sua-
kim saws: The combined force of British
and Egyptians have made an attack upon
the rebel position. They stormed the re-
doubts and trenches, and after briiiiano
engagement lasting half an hour'
drove the enemy into the bush.
The rebels lost 400 men KILL
cd. The British loss was slight The
British are encamped in the rebel position.
The victory was complete. The BRUSH
lost four men killed and two wounded
during cavalry charge. The Egyptiah
and Black Regiments charged the trenches
and carried them brilliantly, losing TWO
men killed and thirty wounded. The only
officers wounded in the attacking force
were two Egyptians.
SuAKIM, Dec. 20.-Before dawn this
morning the British man-of-wnr Starting
and an Egyptian steamer moved up the
coast, with orders to cover the rebels at
Handoub. At daybreak the forts opened
fred upon the rebel trenches, and the
troops advanced to the attack, the Black
Brigade on the right flank and the cavalry
and mounted infantry covering. The Scot
tish borderers, the Welsh regiment and the
Egyptian brigade occupied an embankment
between the forts, the British infantry being
held in reserve. The forts shelled the
trenches keeping up terrific fire. Ihe
enemy held their ground with intense
courage until the Black Brigade charged
the trenches, which fell after half an
hours nard fighting. The rebels fought
with fanatical bravery. Two of the enc
my's guns were captured The naval bri-
gade did splendid work. The Scottish
borderers are now at work entrenching
the rebel position. The enemy are retreat
ing toward Hasheen and lamar. The
British forces number 1000 men.

THE ENGLISH VICTORY

At SuaIsim Believed by the Londoners to
Have Bccn n Mere Butchcry.
LONDON, Dec. 2L-The victory which
was won at Suakim by the combined forces
Of the British and Egyptians does not
cause that enthusiasm in London which
usually follows such an event. The dis
parity in the losses of the sides engaged in
the unequal struggle proves the affair to
have been mere butchery, and robs the
events of the ordinary elements
attending battle. The British
public is not enough in sympathy
with the expedition at Suakim TO be de-
lighted to learn that 400 Arabs have been
shot down and many others wounded by
large force of English soldiers possessing
superior arms and superior tactics
to those of their enemy. While the
news may serve to cheer the Govern
ment and sustain them in pursuing their
present course at Suakim, fair-minded
Englishmen deprecate the slaughter, and
do not consider that the victory adds any
luster to British arms.

Whitemore, formerly an employe on the
Omaha road, and resident of this city,
n few years since, was sick with typhoid
fever, followed by inflammation of the
bowels, and, to all appearances died. After
he was laid out barber was sent for to
shave him. As he was being shaved,
Whitemore raised up and insisted that he
was not dead. The astonishment of the
barber was only equaled by the joy of the
friends of the supposed dead man. He
