The high license and local option aci

The high license and local option act
has become law in New Jersey, not
outstanding the solid vote Of the Dem
ocratic Legislature against it and the
veto of the Democratic Governor.
Public opinion in this state is ripe for
a more effective restriction of the liquor
traffic, but it is useless to expect that
anything will be done respecting it by
the present Legislature.

This practice Of impulsive contem-
porarles in hurting epithets is grossly
reprehensible. To call the Grand Army
of the Republic "grand army of beg
gars" benefits no one and wantonly re-
fleets upon multitude of deserving

in the highest esteem in every section
of the South and North alike.-Balt0

in view by the Republican members OF
the Ways and Means Committee
Whatever Objectionable features 1t may
contain, it is far superior to that OF the
Democratic majority, and Is based on
sound economic principles. The effort
of Congress to readjust the tariff should
be Invested of all political consldera-
tons, and it would appear the wlsest
course for the Republicans to JOIN with
Mr.. Randall in his endeavor, rather
than to preserve the vote of the minor
ity on a separte measure and thereby
allow Mr.. Mills and the majority to
adopt an improper bill IA.

The majority tariff bill of the committe on

ed reduction of revenue is SS0,00O0OO, Of
which S50,000O0O to $685. 900 is on customs
and from $40, 0oO. 900 to $50 600 coo on internal
revenue. The principal articles placed on
the free list are jute, hemp, flax, wool, lum-
Der, salt and building stone. The duty on
plate glass lis reduced 20 per cent, and on
common window glass 80 per cent. Earth
ern ware will be reduced about 12a per cent
ad yalorum The duty on metals is reduced
practically from 81 70-100 per cent. to 395 per
cent. The sugar schedule is reduced % per
cent. The reduction in internal revenue is
made by removing the tax on tobacco and
the licenses and taxes on distillers, The
trainers of the bill claim that under it wooden
manufacturers will enjoy more protection
than ever before. AS the;complaint of the
tariff reformers has been that the manufac-
turers were unfairly favored under the old
tariff it ia not quite clear how they are going
to be satisfied with this bill which faVors
them more. But the bill has evidently been
drawn with the intention of conciliating
enough interests to pass it, The placing of

Hitherto the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers have been very successful in get
ting their rights and having their grievances
redressed through arbitration If not the
pioneers in arbitration, the Brotherhood
have certainly afforded most instructive ex-
amples Of the beneficial workings Of the
principle. With them it was a success be-
fore the Legislature of any Of the States
turned to 1t as the remedy for the labor
turmoils that dlsquieted the people within
their borders. At this time. when the order
that has often arbitrated and rarely struck
is in great conflict with rich and power
full road, it is interesting to note the success
of State encouraging arbitration by estab-
fishing commission to take the place of
voluntary committees raised especially for
snecial occasions. Massachusetts has a
hoard. established very recently, called the
state Board of Arbitration and Cancellation.

avail himself of it in case OF dispute; 1t Is

merely an aid volunteered by the State. Inc
annual report of the Board, which has Just
been issued, shows that it has been called TO
mediate quite frequently and has in the
majority of cases been successful. But
this does not tell the whole story. The very
existence of the board, ever ready to enter
tain appeals and complaints, from whatever
quarter they may come. is a continual re-
minder of the advantage of peaceful methods
over strife. So it has resulted that both en-
ployers and employed feel compelled to be
more reasonable in their demands and
choose their grounds with more care. In
other words the example Of the Board of
Arbitration and Cancellation has infused a
judicial spirit into the relations of those who
live and profit by the industries Of Massa-
chusetts.

Some of the over jealous friends of prohi-
bition who are seeking to make it appear
that the present municipal contest is between
Prohibition and free rum will find after cleo
ton that they have done their cause grievous
harm. As matter Of fact this issue does not
exist. The great bulk of the temperance
people of the city are supporting Mayor
Chapman and not Gen. Dow. This is well
enough understood here in spite of the mis-
representations Of the Third Party zealots,
but abroad these misrepresentation will be
taken for facts and when Mayor Chapman is
elected there will go up a shout from the
license and free rum advocates all over the
country that Portland has repudiated Prohi-
billion. The indiscreet friends of Prohibi-
ton will wake up to this when election is
over and in the course of few weeks we
shall see them at work seeking to repair the
injury their partisan zeal has done to the
cause they have so much at heart

The motive that inspired the presentation
of Gen. BOWS name to the Democratic con-
vention in the first place was desire to con-
vince a certain asprant Of his unpopularity
with one wing of the Democratic party.
But the endorsement at the second meeting
of the convention was the result of a scheme
to embarrass Republican temperance men
The Democrats foresaw that Neal BOWS can
didacy would attract attention all over the
country, and that abroad the contest would
take on the appearance of an issue between
prohibition and opposition to prohibition,
with the Democrats apparently supporting
the former and the Republicans the latter.
They have not been disappointed. But Re-
pnblicans cannot afford to be dragooned into
the support Of candidate avowedly mimi

The Republican party certainly cannot be
expected to assist in placing Gen. Neal Dow
in a position where he can carry on his fav-
tie work of smashing" it to better advan-
tage, simply because he believes in some of
the principles which it believes in. For a
number Of years now the Republican party
has had no more bitter and more active
enemy than Gen. Dow. In his speeches and
his writings he has denounced it unsparing-
ly. In the last State campaign he was iden-
fed with the Third Party movement which
did its best to defeat Gov. Bodwell, though
Gov. Bodwell had been lifelong, sincere
temperance man.

prove equal to the strain that would be put
upon him by the wearing and perplexing

Organization, Arbitration, Moderation"
was the motto that Chief Arthur gave to the
Locomotive Engineers at the convention in
New York city, in October, 1886. when labor
troubles and labor organizations were de-
handing large share of public attention.
AT that same meeting President Chauncey
Depew. of the New York Central, paid to
the Brotherhood handsome compliment for
their good sense and admirable methods of
dealing with the corporations. Are Chief
Arthur and his men maintaining in the Chi
cago, Burlington g. Quincy strike their old
motto and their old reputation? is the first
question that arises in the mind of the reader
interested in the labor problem. Chief Ar
thurs declaration that his men are ready to
submit the difficulty to any disinterested
committee, indicates that they are, and
that the company is the party refusing to
arbitrate This affords the presumption
that the company is in the wrong.
