THE LIQUOR CONTEST ~ OHIO.
a friend sends us marked copy
Of the Cleveland Leader, containing
an account oi the Ohio prohibition
convention, which held its session
In Toledo, May 9th. The gather
ing was II light one, and disappoint-
ment was expressed that no more
interest was felt In the meeting.
The reasons Of the light attendance
are thus given blythe reporter:
II Is believed outside of the con-
vcntiOn that the temperance lcgisla-
tiDn Of the last two or three years,
and particularly Of last winter, has
met the demands of considerable
proportion Of the Temperance people.
The Dow law, enacted two years
ago, imposed tax of 500 on wine
and beer sellers and of 800 on deal
crs In alcoholic liquors. II made the
tax lien on the premises where the
liquor was sold, and gave Villages
aud municipal corporations the right
10 suppress the traffic altogether up
on u majority vote of the electors to
do 80. Last winter this law was
amended 10y extending the local OPP
ton feature to townships and by
raising the tax to $3.50 for all classes
of liquor sellers. Then, In still
further compliance with the de.
mnuds of the temperance element,
the Sunday law was 80 amended ns
90 take away from the councils of
villages and cities the right 10 regu-
late the sale Of liquor on Sunday and |
To make such Ntlc prohibitory on
that day The law Is being enforced |
even la Cincinnati.
This method of dealing with the |
liquor traffic ns II step toward It's
eventual cNtirpation Is consonant !
with every day experience. 1t has
been shown in Temperance lcgisln-
ton, as In other branches of law
making that law II imperative un.
less sustained by public sentiment. |
In introducing moral reforms we
must avoid giving shocks to the |
habits aud customs of II people. The |
change must go no further than the |
conservative, law abiding classes
viii support, but legislation Is safe
10 the extent that their support Is ST.
cured.
In this Ohio state convention the
temporary chairman, Rev /, B.
Holwig, indulgcd In the stcrc-
otypcd prohibition talk about
the insuflciency of local option
high license aud all measures
adopted to regulate the liquor traffic,
and insisted that nothing less than
an amendment to the national con-
sIituuon would compass the end
they had la view. The light uttyu-
dance at the convention over which
lac presided, aud the small interest
felt iu its proceedings were vnm-
ton ot his Argument Mr. HvlWig !
represents the adventurous aud
comvctml m politics, while the
reporter Whose words we quote
above, is puply practical uc tolls
us further that the concessions made
by the legislature to the temperance
people were generally regurdvd us
going tu the utmost verge of pracu-
0hllity such sweeping vguhuou-
crcating grave fears lest tho upubli-
cams lwho wrre compelled To Accept
the onus OF the law, had gone too

of this gnat contest presented to us,
and the padcr who i, supposed to
hc without bias, can use his own

AHy's Letters From Bak ers-
field south Rsnsacked.
daring mail robbery occurred
yesterday morning on the Southern
Pacific road at Bakersfield, A
farmer residing one and half miles east
OF that city while journeying toward
town found mailbag which had been
opened with knife and its contents
rifed. Opened letters were scattered
about in all directions, showing that the
plunderers had made q close search for
any money that the envelopes might
contain. When the rancher arrived in
town with the mutilated pouch and re.
ported the affair at the postoffice a good
deal of excitement was created, as the
bag had contained all the local
mail between Bakersfield and Los Ange.
les and many valuable letters had been
enclosed therein. The only theory that
could be advanced regarding the affair
was that the thief or thieves must have
taken the pouch from the truck while il
was waiting at the Southern Pacific
depot for the arrival Of the train. Tele
grams were at once dispatched up ant
down the road and railroad and United
States detectives set to work on the case
The train mail agent knows nothing o
the affair.

A Young Mother.

Lottie Henry, a young girl from Santa
Barbara, came to Los Angeles Friday
evening, and undertook to gain admis-
sion for her child in the Orphans Home.
Nearly year ago she became aoquaint.
ed with young man in Santa Barbara,
who won her affections and promised to
marry her. Something resembling a
marriage took place, in which one of his
confederates played the part of the min.
lister, and the girl was deceived into be.
lieving that she was legally married tc
the man. They lived together for a
time until the young man became
tired OF the affair, when he con-
fessed the deception and left Lottie
to shift for herself. She worked at
domestic service at Goleta, which is near
Santa Barbara, until her child was born,
when she found herself no longer able to
support herself She then went to Ven
turs where she found work, bu. no one
was willing to allow her to keep the
child. She therefore applied to Mrs.
Watson and, although the case was not
one which came regularlywithin the scope
of the Orphans Home, the child was
nevertheless taken charge of to be kept
for adoption. The girl then went back
to Ventura. The baby is bright,
healthy child, six weeks of age.

preparing for grand formal opening of
the works on the 2Sth inst, for which
occasion the Board of Trade of this city,
the Chamber of Commerce and repre-
sentative business men will receive in.

delaying the opening is so that he can
have good assortment of specimens OF
handicraft done in the building ready for
inspection.

California In the Lead

During the ten months from January
1stto November 1st of the present year,
$3.50 miles of new railroad have been
laid in the United States, and in this
great march of improvement California
takes the lead with thirty new lines and
480 miles of track. 1t is expected, from
the roads now under construction, that
from / 200 to 1000 miles more of track
will be laid in the country before the year
is ended, and this will make the record
for 1888 exceed that of all but four pre-
vious years in the country, namely, 1881,
1882, 1886, 1887.

The watch tower that the Southern
and California Central companies have
had erected at the crossing of their lines
above Mirafores is completed and in
working order. During the hours that
trains are on the road a man is on duty
on the tower and receives telegraphic
advices of the approach of trains. By a
system of levers he then throws out
block signals on the road and thus all
possibility of a collision is averted. The
tower that is being built at Conrad is
also finished, but the machinery has
