tions. One Of the drawings, entitled
"This Batting thou shalt rue" forms the
frontispiece OF the Magazine. There is a
suggestion of the Greek chorus in the
band OF Bacchantes. The refrain OF
their song, "On to Rome," dominates
the whole drama; it catches together in
a phrase the leading thread of the plot.

DEnuCTIONS

Now you have the situation in
prohibition Maine, and ! am will
ing for the Prohibitionist to hang
himself on either horn OF the diem
ma presented. If he says that the
law is net enforced in Maine, |
merely point to the jealous and
persistent efforts which have been
made to put it in shape to make
enforcement possible, and to the
long continued efforts at enforce
ment, and say: eff such a law
cannot be enforced under such
circumstances, we of Missouri
would rather be excused from any
experiments in that direction.
If he says that the law is enforc-
ed in Maine, then l reply: "If the
enforcement of prohibition there
only produces increased drunken
ness, more crime, insanity and
pauperism, heavier debt, increased
taxation and a lessened school at
tendance, we of Missouri beg to be
excused from incurring like dis
sabilities for the compensating
good whatever :"
The experience of all cities under
prohibition proves that it does not
lessen intemperance ia the least,
but that 1t rather aggravates it. In
support of this assertion / have the
evidence of reputable and well-in-
formed citizens of all the consider
able cities of Maine that such had
been its effect there, and I have
similar evidence from the cities OF
Leavenworth, Atchisen, Topeka,
Wyandott, Lawrence, Fort Scott,
Wichita and Kansas City, Kas.,
and from Keokuk, Council Bluffs,
Sioux City, Dubuque, Ottumwa
and Des Moines, TO-, which ev-
idence is accessible to everyone.
but which, in due time, / shall
publish in a convenient form 70,
the ready information of all who
care to learn the fact about the
real workings of prohibition.

DELAY Is USELESS.

The majority of the Ways and
Means Committee is right in de-
ciding not to give hearing on the
Revenue Bill. If every interest
that wants its war bounties continu-
ed forever were given an oppor-
tnnity to make its plea the bill
would not reach the House in three
months more. And this is just
what its opponents desire. Their
clamor for a hearing is simply the
old device to secure delay.
It may be taken as granted that
the monopolies and special in
terests to which the people have
been paying unnecessary tribute
for thu past ten years want to re-
tain their perquisites and priv
ileges. This being conceded, let
the peoples representatives speak
on the floor of Congress for the
great body of consumers.
There has been enough of in
vestigation and special pleading.

come before it and after consider
ing the whole question recommend

in the average duty. President
Arthur and two Republican Sec
retaries of the Treasury indorsed
this recommendation and urged an
extension of the free list.
Both parties have conceded the
need of tariff reform and promised
10 carry it out. It is time 10 re.
deem these pledges. The delay
has already lasted Eve years too
long. The way to reform is to
