Revenue from Liquor.

We present today the revenue figures
for liquor licenses. They are startling in
their magnitude. Lancaster's city treas
ury will be annually enriched to the ex-
tent of sl5, ,l20, which sum ought to make
of this place the best paved, cleanest and
in all respects the most delightful city Of
this state.
The boroughs all get large sums also,
and the townships come in for a big share
OF the funds. Now we will have better
township roads ard general brushing
up of all the thriving settlements Of the
county. OF the total amount derived
from hotel licenses, $43,i25, only o., ,23G.-
25 goes to the state; which is just, be.
cause the state needs it not. Besides it
makes up for this by getting the total
revenue from wholesale dealers, distillers
and bottlers, which in this county
amounts to $4,000.

Exports OF Breadsiuirs.

Ths advance statement OF our exports
OF breadstuffs in February shows that in
total value they were 81 SIP ,53i below the
shipments for the same month last
year. In February we sent abroad about
ten million dollars worth Of breadstuffs,
of which about nine and half millions
was wheat and wheat -four, el,360,7D
corn and corn meal and the balance barley,
oats, oat meal and rye. Wheat -four is
the only breadstuff showing q slight in.
crease over the exports OF February 1887.
In the eight months ending February 20,
1sSS, the exports Of breadstuffs amounted
in value to s97 ,797 SIS; in the same period
ending February 2s, 1887, they reached a
value of sl0i, ,670,4 ,453. This very decided
falling off in exports of the necessaries Of
life cannot be taken as sign Of CONNER
cial retrogress!on, because the whole ques-
tion Of foreign demand is complicated not
only by the rivalry of the other geat grain
growing countries, Russia aud India, but
also by the political aspect Of European
affairs. In the period ending February
1857, the volume Of exports was greatly
swollen by speculative anticipation of o
great war.
A notable feature OF this report is the
prominence Of the shipments from San
Francisco and Willamette. William.
cite is the port of Portland, Oregon, 80
called from the Willamette river.
Nearly all of the barley exported in
1888 was shipped from Portland, Oregon
being great barley growing country.
Of the shipments in February, s2,522,3i6
sailed from San Francisco and William
etLe; O., ,747 ,553 from New York; o. ,0i0,-
800 from Baltimore, and the rest from
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore in
the order named. So that the Pacific
ports are second only to New York in
value Of this great branch Of our exports.
In spite of the completion of transconti-
mental railways, opening up a much
shorter route to the European market, a
large part of the surplus grain and -four
of the Northwest will always find its way
out Of the country by way Of that great
natural commercial highway, the Colum.
bia river, and Portland seems destined to
become the New York of the west coast

Az n Distributing Point.

A rumor was ailoat in Lancaster not
long since that the Pennsylvania railroad
contemplated the purchase of farm on
the northern outskirts of the city with
the purpose to erect thereon branch
shops for the construction and rehabili.
tation Of locomotives, cars, etc.
The recent heavy storm demonstrated
that the suggestion in this rumor was
wise. Between Harrisburg and Phila-
delphia, where the Pennsylvania railroad
passes through a rich and densely popu-
lated region, and where train detention

practically no proportionats facilities to
meetsudden disaster. 1t is true that there

necessarily only a make-shift when a
calamity like that OF the last few days
falls upon railroad TO paralyze its trade.

locomotives and men, how much more
quickly the danger would have been met

Doubling and Hanging.

We are constantly puzzled to know why
there is 30 much trouble encounter ed in
saving man from. the gallows about
whose guilt doubt is raised.
The law says that no man Shall be
hanged about whose guilt there is a
doubt. The judges say that must be
Q reasonable doubt (; which seems reason
able !; but it also seems reasonable that
when good portion Of the community
doubt a mans guilt, and so say to the
board of pardons and the governor, a
communication Of the extreme penalty at
least should be secured.
Here is this negro Johnson, who is said
{, have killed Farmer Sharpless, about
whose case there has been the
most absurd backing and filling by the
board of pardons and the governor. Ad-
ditional testimony has been taken by the
rsam, and every time the man is re-
mitted to the gallows. All the testimony
does not serve to convince the governor
and the pardon board that there is any
doubt Of the mans guilt.
If that is so they ought to hang him /;
but now the governor again reprieves
him to await some other evidence. We
say that it is scandalous. The frequent
Teprieves alone show that there is some
doubt of the mans guilt and if that
exists the law does not convict him.
We went over the testimony when he
WAS tried and concluded that ba xyas
guilty and that he doubtless is on bal
ancing the evidence. But great many
people think he is not guilty; and great
many more doubt it. 1t is clear that
there is not such conclusion as to his
guilt as TO warrant his execution.

SENATOR CoLQuITT, OF Georgia, thus
spoke this week on the presidents mes
sage: Tho high tariff policy had always
been that OF the Tory party in polit!cs-the
friend Of class legislation In principle.
Tho whole system OF government was
threatened by that systom and tendency.
The president had propt sed policy worthy
OF the support OF the party. The
party should return to q right policy,
should concentrate on chief Issues, carry Its
standard high, and adopt q policy that
would make victory mean the emancipa.
ton OF the people from artificial burdenr.
II Was not 70 be concealed that the presl-
don't had taken great risks In the interest
OF the people. A mere humdrum policy
would have excited no friction or antago-
nism; but tho president msdo clear cut
issue in the true interest OF the country, to
which he had sppealed In it's own behalf
He was the true hero OF reform. Personal
confidence in Cleveland had contributed
largely to his election, The same conf
| dencs (greaily REINFORCED by experience)
would trlump phantly re-elect him.
