disorder in the Burlington yards this
morning. The arrivals OF stock since q
this morning have aggregated BAT cars OF
which 800 have gone 10 the stock yards
without any demonstrations on the part
of the strikers. Twenty three switchmen
are at work in The Burlington yards. The
Northwestern yards are quiet and men
are working. The Panhandle is in the

CONSECTlCUT's DOW LAW.
One-half of the Arrests in the State Are
for Drunkenness.

One half of the Arrests in the State Are
for Drunkenness.
p. Augur contributes to the Connectt-
cut Home an important review of Con-
necticut criminal statistics for the year end
ing June 90, 1887:
The number of commitments for crime
in the State during the year was 6,S49, of
which 1883, or more than ~ per cent,
we're for drunkenness. The whole num-
her of commitments shows an increase
over the preceding year OF 1873, or less than
+ ner cent. but the number of commit
ments for drunkenness shows an increase
of 4S3, or nearly II per cent.-demon-
stratinp that the ohense of drunken
ness is increasing much beyond the in.
crease of the whole volume OF criminal
offenses.
The classification shows that the offense
for which there was the largest number OF
commitments next to those for drunkenness
was assault and breach of the peace. For
this offense there were 1877 commitments;
Tor vaorancy and tramps there were 539;
for theft and larceny there were 456; for
resisting officers there were III; for burglary
there we're 1865, and for assault with intent
to kill. manslaughter and murder there were
G7-making 2,7l6 commitments FOR SIX
leading offenses, or nearly IOO loss than
those for drunkenness alone.

other high license papers praise so highly
fee charged in Connecticut is the same as
in Ohio, 800 for beer saloons and 5000 for
whisky saloons. But Connecticut has
vastly more local option than Ohio, and her
law does not tolerate Sunday selling, so
that the Ere7tng Posts excellent Dow law,
operating under much sitter restrictive
conditions than are in force at the Dow
laws home, does not appear to be q won
derful anti saloon measure.
And under Connecticuts Dow law sys-
tenn the number of liquor licenses has in
creased. There were 2,735 licenses issued
in 1887, yielding revenue of 1851 ,74l. O8;
in 1886 there were 1855 licenses, from
which there was revenue of 1891 ,S09.33.
Connecticut has law prohibiting the
sale of liquor to drunkards after notice not
to sell has been served. In spite of this,
and of the fact that there were 1888 COM
mltments of drunkards to Jail in 1887, dur
ing the same year there were only 81 COM
mitments for all violations of the liquor
laws.
MIR. Augur's figures also show that near
~ all the prisoners committed to Connecti-
cut jails are drinkers. In New London
County only two prisoners out of GI5 are
classed as strictly temperate, in Hartford
County only IL out Of l,474 are so classed,
and SO on. And a curious fact is that these
self-confessed drinkers, with exceedingly
few exceptions, chose to call themselves
moderate drinkers" OF the 1863 drink
ers committed in Hartford County, 1924
are classed as moderate drinkers" and
only 1879 as "habitual drunkards."

The time in which the bells will sound
for inaugural games upon every ball park
in the country is not now far distant. Ere
another fortnight has passed the teams of
all our crack professional leagues and as
sociations will have entered upon their
pennant ,es, while commercial leagues,
country leagues, and city leagues will be
striving hard for the honor of victory in
their respective organizations. Never be-
fore has public interest in the national
game of the Americans been so wide
spread, and, judging from the make
up of the great teams in the League,
American Association, and Western Asso-
alton, the struggles of 1888 will be of
character well calculated to lay founda-
ton for increased interest one year later.
The manner in which the young blood
OF the big league teams has shown up in
practice this spring is certainly most en-
couraging. Crane, Slattery, Foster, Hat

have more than surpassed the expectations
of their club managers. Hoy and Gardi-

preparations for the Presidential campaign,

have been several notable gatherings re-
Gently. At meeting of the State Com
mittee of the party it was voted to push the
organization of the State on a basis similar
to that adopted in Illinois. Accordin Fly
the State was divided into districts with
three field workers. VIM. A. Taylor is the
State Organizer and L. B. Sutton and
Cabel S. Pitkins are the State Financial
Agents.
Another important recent meeting was
the anniversary gathering of the Wolverine
Club. This organization is composed of
party Prohibitionists, united for social and
political purposes. The report of the Off
GERS showed the club to be in excellent
condition. 1t was decided to do agrees
sive work to boom the Prohibition party.
The recent annual meeting of the State
Temperance Alliance showed that good
support has been given the workers in be-
halt of the educational lines of Prohibi-
ton agitation. A. D. Power of Worthwhile,
who is Chairman of the State Committee
of the Prohibition party, was chosen Presi-
dent of the Alliance.
