CINCINNATI AND ITS SALOONS.

The Cincinnati saloon-keepers az
rested for violation of the Sunday law
endeavored to carry matters with
high hand when brought before the
court, on Monday, but were not alto
gether successful. They demanded trial
by jury, and in granting this to one who
had been arrested three times, Judge
ErmstOn said:
Iwant you to understand. Mr.. Warfing-
er. that ii you are arrested next Sunday you
may prepare to give bond OF $4,000. And
i may say further, that Mr.. Henry Varwig
Will not be accepted on any more bonds. He
is on number of them now, and do not
care to have Mr.. Varwig become profess
sionaI bondsman. MY regard for him is
too great to permit anything OF that kind.
1t is gratifying to know that at least
one Cincinnati court has no sympathy
with the law-defying saloon element.
The saloon and its interests have so
long dominated that city that compare
lively few of the people there are free
from the blighting influences. For
years the prevailing public sentiment in
Cincinnati has been in favor of the "per-
sonal liberty" that permits man to sell
whisky or to drink whisky when and
where it pleases him, without regard
to the effect on public peace,
comfort and morality. 1t has been
and still is town with berry atmos-
phere that penetrates into every depart
ment of business. In other cities, in In
dianapOlis, for instance, men of respec-
table social standing cannot frequent
saloons without losing caste; in Cincin-
natl they congregate in drinking places
as matter of custom. A leading citi-
zen" may not be addicted to drink, but
he knows that his associates in their
leisure moments are likely to be found
in bar-rOOm or saloon, and goes there to
find them without giving the matter
further thought. The Cincinnati saloon
has long been an established and almost
sacred institution, and its supremacy
has naturally lowered the moral tone OF
the community. Men in other lines of
business have opposed strict regulation
of the whisky traffic for fear of
injury to their own trade. Even
the press has failed to use
its influence against an extension of the
evil. 1t was only when the encroach-
ments of the saloon element became un-
endurable that the better sentiment be-
came aroused; and the Law and Order
League was formed to see that legal re-
strictions were enforced. The defiant
attitude of the saloon-keepers and the
indirect approval of their course by the
newspapers of the city show that the
league has a hard task before it; but
this very defiance and brazen effrontery
may aid this reform movement through
the disclosures made of the character OF
the element sought to be controlled
The remarks of Judge Ermston indi-
cate that it has already had effect.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

THE protection system is gaining ground
IN all parts of Europe. Surely 1t wOull be
a great mistake for this country to pick up
the cast-oH garments OF foreign countries,
or, to change the figure put or the free
trade yoke which has CALLED the necks and
impeded the progress Of foreign nations.
-Detrlot Tribune.
IT is not a matter for regret that there
was falling of of over 100000 in the i'm
migration to this country during the last
fiscal year. There is no lack of labor in any
direction, nor of settlers and crOp-raisers.
On the contrary, most Industries are crowded
and the tillable public lands are growing
scarce.-New York World.
POLITICAL prophecy is a dangerous trade,
but we will venture to predict that, if the
Republican party does increase expendi-
ture, 1T will have an enlarged navy, im-

works to show as evidence of the applica-
ton of the public money to wholesome pur.
poses.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Low railroad rates can be only an add
vantage to debtors. and will leave them

THE multiplication of cheap books has

If the new school-book law is COM
pulsory on school boards, township trus-
tees, teachers and people, it will be the
first time in the history of the State that
any compulsory process of this kind has
been attempted. Pending the passage
of the bill by the Legislature, its advO-
Gates urged it as measure of reform
demanded by the people and as means
of destroying the school-book ring by
giving the people a chance to buy cheap
books. Now they have changed front.
The measure of reform" rs to be
forced on the people whether they want
it or not; the relief which it was
pretended they were demanding is to be
crammed down their threats and the old
ring is to be smashed by substituting a
new and far worse one. Worst of all,
the school system of Indiana is to be
wrecked and riddled and the education
al interests of the State are to be wan
tonly trified with for speculative pur-
poses. The people should demand the
repeal of the law at the earliest oppor-
tunity and renew the original demand OF
free text books and no monopolles.

CONGRESSMAN BROwER, of North

THE advocates of free whisky are
making the same mistake in Kentucky
they have made elsewhere. There is a
movement on foot in that State for q
convention to revise and amend the
Constitution. The question of prohibi-
ton does not figure TO any extent in the
proposed revision, and the Prohibition
party in Kentucky is not strong enough
to make it probable that any serious at
tempt would be made to incorporate
prob hilton in the Constitution. But as
SUNNI that there might be, the liquor
men have taken ground against a con-
veniion, and have issued circular urg-
ing the people to oppose it. 1t is not de-
MED that the Constitution of Kentucky
needs amending in some important par
ticulars, but for fear something might

How Women Restow Charity.

Did you over notice women doing
charitable thingsP They are so much
more genuine than men. When man
gives Il beggar dime in the street
every body around him secs it and
knows it, Women don't seem to see
any body when they put coin into
the blind mans box Where do we
learn charity anyway but from our
mothers? You will see mother and
her little girl trotting along the street
and at the corner poor woman plays
n wheezy barrel-organ. The mother
does not put the quarter in the box
herself She walks past, and when she
has apparently quite overlooked the
beggar she stops and opens her sachel.
She goes through all those little
maneuvers which drive n dry-goods
clerk wild, but she is different kind
of being now, and when she has fished
out the coin she gives it TO her little
child and sends her back to give it to
the unfortunate. There is no kinder
garten lesson so beautiful as that. 1t
is the child's education in charity.
The boy grows up and forgets it. He
meets the world in harder and more
practical way, but the girl grows up to
be woman and never forgets it, and
when she is mother she teaches her
children this simple little principle of
sympathy for the unfortunate. There
is no country in the world where char
ity is not almost entirely dispensed by
the agency of woman. San Francisco
