of $4,000 The Minnesota High Lii
cense law has decreased the number of
saloons by about 1900. In Winona, the
law has reduced the number from eight
to one, and in Caledonia, from fifteen to
four. In Missouri, where the new law
fixes the maximum cost oil " license at
81, 200 and the minimum Mt $3.50, the
revenue has been trebled. Nebraska
has license fee of 81, 900 in cities and
$500 elsewhere. The effect has been to
cut down the number of drinking places
nearly one-half and to increase the
States revenue fvefold. Wholesale
dealers in Michigan pay license fee of
$500, and the retailers pay from $500 to
$500. The result is an increase Of reve.

One would suppose from Cleveland Is
anti-tariff. protection message that the
United States raises very small fraction
of the wool produced in the world, but
the truth is that our country is the largest
producer of wool of any. An exchange
says: "The value of the sheep is estima-
ted at 1000, 900, and the wool crop
each year is enormous And yet under
the deceptive term Of "frse raw ma
terials," the free traders would crush out
the wool growers of this land, and make
us dependent upon Europe for the ma
terials with which to manufacture our
clothing. The tariff has developed our
wool production, and under its fostering
care, in few years, we shall BIO able to
produce all the raw material needed for
wooden goods.

rEnfPERANoE LEGrsI.ATIoN.


The Republican party of New Jersey is
under pledge to further temperance legis-
lation. A local option and high license
bill has been introduced into the legisla-
ture as caucus measure and it is hoped
that it viii be speedily passed. The only
opposition that comes to it, apparently, is
from Essex county, where lager beer
holds supreme sway, and where an ele-
ment, foreign to our civilization, feels
that beer is more than bread and money
more than morality. AS party of prin-
ciple, Republicans should always dare to
do right. Defeat may temporarily be the
result, but the eternal RIGHT will get on
top, sooner or later.

The New York Herald pays this hand
some tribute to Mr.. Blaine's qualities
"The singular personal attractions of Mr..
Blaine; the alertness aud audacity of his
intellect; his innate knowledge of the
workings of the government since the
war; the tranquility of his genius; the
fact that as leader he was without en-.
mites, friendships, gratitude or fear; his
absolute command of his party, looking
upon rivals and aspirants only as SO many
chessmen 10 the great game of which be
was master; and added to these the elo
quence of Henry Clay and the keen, per
sisteut business sense OF Thurlow Weed
all combined to make Mr.. Blaine, so Iona
as he remained in Republican leadership,
like MIR. McGregor in the novel. Wher,
ever he sat was the head of the table. :
All of which shows that The Herald ha6
more admiration for Mr.. Blaine than II

The new Democratic caucus rules do
not appear to have settled the trouble in
the Democratic ranks, judging from the
wrangling of the newspapers representing
the two factions. A correspondent of
the Democrat Advertiser, OF Pennington,
claims tina. the rules exclude from partici-
patton in the next caucus, all Democrats
who voted for John T. Cox for Sheriff.
The following is the letter:
To the Editor Of The Democrat 1dcer-
tiser;
We see by the Clinton Democrat of
Feb. I'd, that the Chairman of the late
County Convention has requested John
Carpenter, Jr., to publish the roll call re-
suit Of the vote on abolishing the caucus

informs the Chairman Of the Convention
that the paper containing the roll of del.
egates has, in some mysterious manner
unknown to himself, disappeared from
the other papers of the Convention that
he, John Carpenter, Jr., had In his pos.
session, but requests the person or per-
sons having the paper to return it to him,
presumably for publication. We, as Dem

could procure that paper for publication
he would confer favor ON the Democra-
cy Of this part of the county.
In reference to the resolutions of in
struction against any change in the old
caucus system, we would inform John
Carpenter, Jr., in one township at least,
Delaware, that such resolutions were
passed, and further that 1t voiced the
sentiments Of at least five hundred out of
the six hundred Democrats in the above
named township. For a veriflcation of
this fact we refer John Carpenter, Jr., to
any one or all Of the following named gen

delegates in the recent Convention, viz:
John s. Hockenbury, Richard ii. Wilson,

clothing costs just as much now as it did
in war times, and uses this as an argu-
ment against the tariff. The Star pre-
sumes too naJeh on Che stupidity of its
readers. All the grades of goods worn by
workingmen and such as are used for
business suits are from twenty-five to
thirty FIVE per cent. less than they we're
during the late wal. There is not SO much
difference, perhaps, in extra fine goods
such as the wealthy wear.

final. Many persons express regret at
this step, and still believe him the strong
est man in the Republican party, main
tanning that he was so far ahead in the
race for the nomination that there was
really no second choice. There is large
following who say heretofore there was a
tendency for unanimous nomination, and
that this letter has made such a step a
probability, and In such an event Mr..
Blaine could not refuse first place -
Others consider the act as final, and con-
slider 1t magnanimous act on the part Of
the great statesman, the letter having the
effect to bring the party together and put
it in the best fighting trim. While dis
appointing to some, it was gratifying to
many. Sheridan. Sherman, Hawley, Al
