The nigh license Law.

Boston Advertiser.
II is impossible TO obtain statistics re
lative to the increase or decrease Of
drunkenness and even we're Il not so,
too short time has elapsed to give
value to such data. What we are able
to demonstrate at this time with strik
ing force, is the immediate effect of the
restrictive law in actually restricting the
sale of liquor and the accompanying re-
forms in the conduct of licensed saloons
As far as arrests for drunkenness go, an
increase is noted in most cities, due ac
cording to general belief, TO the increased
energy with which the law is being en-
forced. and also to the tendency mani
tested everywhere to refuse licenses
to saloons in outlying districts
and in residential quarters where much
drunkenness formerly existed, but where
few arrests were ever made. The most
positive benefits derived thus fRr from
the operation Of the law outside of those
enumerated above, are to be found in the
degree Of faithfulness manifested to.
wards the provisions of the law by
licensed dealers. The testimony else
where presented is unanimous on this
point. The supposition, held by few,
that the enhanced financial value of a
license would induce the licensees to in
form upon Illegal selling, is not born,
out by the facts, but in the matters Of
prompt closing, Sunday sales, sales t,
minors and drunken persons, very much
greater care is exercised than ever before
lest the costly licenses be forfeited.

The Negro in Politics.
snn

Baltimore Sun.
The New York Tribune quotes with
evident satisfaction the assertion of Mr..
George w. Gable, the novelist, that the
question at the South is not one Of the
negro's right to rule, but of his right to
choose rulers. Mr. Cable who is often
trotted out on Northern platforms as
representative Southerner," is
not regarded by the great
majority lof the Southern people
as qualified to speak for them, and the
half truth embodied in his definition of
the negro question in Southern politics
proves that he is but hasty and super
fetal observer No one would question
the negros right to choose his own rulers
il it were practicable in all cases for him
to do so, without, at the same time,
choosing rulers for his white neighbors
also The colored people Of the South
unfortunately have not reashad that
stage Of enlightenment which prevents
them from becoming the dupes and tools
Of unprincipled sa.venturers and it is for
this reason taat the intelligence and
property of the South are so solidly ar
rayed against all the attempts to re-
establish negro domination, the disas-
trous effects Of which in the past have
scarcely yet passed away in some por-
tiOns of that section.

THE people of Massachusetts, have
been inconstant in their dealings with the
liquor traffic. So soon as one law was passed
they have begun to concoct other laws
There has been no settled policy and no
law has been allowed TO remain in force
long enough to test its practical value. The
present high license law is more restrictive
In its general provisions than other in
the United States. But before it had
been fairly in operation the Prohibition
lists attempted to change it. This too in
face of the fact that its local option
feature allows those communities to have
prohibition where the sentiment of the
people demands it. The present law en-
ables a test of the relative merits o.
the two sYstems OF prohibition
Evening journal., 1889-08-23

and Of high license in operation under
precisely the same conditions. The two
opposing systems may be tried side by side
with equal fairness and the honest pro-
moters of temperance man have an op-
portunity to compare the comparative
efficiency Of the two systems in promot-
ing or retarding temperance. If it is
really temperance they want they can
afford TO await the trial.

that which may reasonably be ex

A. X. Eberhart, the Philadelphia
shoe man, and one of the oldest in
the business, whose trade covers a
very large circuit, and well known
in Morgantown and Monongalia
county, making regular trips here,
in speaking of the probable outcome
of the election of Harrison, said:
"My trade has never been SO dull
as it is this year. In the Mononga-
hela valley the wages of the miners
are continually being reduced and
some of them are on the verge of
starvation. Families have to vacate
their homes, being unable to pay
rent. They move to old shanties
and endure torture to its extreme
limit Why, sir, / never knew of
so many business failures subsequent
to the election of President in my
life. The employees of a firm in
Youngstown, o., were given an adj
vance of 10 per cent. and in one
week the sheriff sold out the works
and the Iaborers lost two weeks
wages. And remember, / am not
the only man that complains of
dulIness in trade. a prominent
business man came to me last week
and wanted me to borrow S25, 900
for him. He was a man whom j
had thought was in good financial
standing. He told me that three
months ago he was better off, finan-
ciaIIy, than at any other time in his
life, but during the last three months
he had been losing heavily and fear
ed that he would be embarrassed
before many weeks. Bnt it does
not end here. The present condi-
ton of business throughout the
country is bad enough, and the in
dications are that it will become
worse No, sir; observation and
communication with the laboring
and business class of people has
taught me that business can not be
successfully carried on in any coun-
try unless we have direct CONNER
cial communication with other coun
tries. The products of our mills,
factories and spindles is double our
consumption, and the one-half that
we can not consume must be dis
posed of And how can we dispose
of it, unless we send it TO other coun-
tries2 We can not send 1t there I'M
less they be allowed to send their
goods here. Therefore, the only
way to remedy the present condi-
ton of affairs is by a reduction of
our present tariff laws"

How sou.herners are Plekea.

One can generally pick out a
Sontherner on the streets in New
York. His clothes are either old
fashioned and we'll worn or fresh
from the best tailor in town. He
wears fine SLOUGH, soft hat, creased
together on top, the back of Insight
Iy turned up and the front pulled
down. The hat is worn "a leetle' on
one side. lie is calm eyed and self
possessed, and has the stolidity of an
Indian under all circumstances.
He is never in a hurry -llurrybeing,
in his mind, relocated to district
messenger boys and bank clerks.
When told to stop lively by the
autocrat of the elevated roads he
looks as if a liberty had been taken
with him. On the cars he is always
on the lookout for women to give his
seat to, and wears the general ali,
of being in foreign country, bnt
too polite to be astonished ut the
habits of the natives. He will stop
and look into shop windows with
delightful sangfreid, and if per-
chance he meets an acquaintance,
who is lady, will remain bare
headed until requested to put on
his hat. He is quiet and soft spoken,
and stands about as firmly on his
social legs as an Englishman, and
will shake hands with the colored
porter, while he brushes the lordly
and familiar hotel clerk with look
of deadly politcness.-M Kstar.
