In Missouri high license is not liked by
the liquor sellers much better than the
same class # persons like prohibition in
Maine and Kansas, The bill which has
passed the House in that State hands the
saloon over into the hands Of the taxing
power of state, county and city, in = way
that will not foster the business. First,
the state and county are allowed to poeace
upon the saloon with a maximum license
OF $500 and minimum of $3.50
then the towns and cities will fasten
upon the business with additional license
Gees Of from 1880 TO 500. A maximum
limit Is fixed. SO that the city cannot
squeeze out the last drop of revenue. leav-
ing the county aud state empty handed. or
vice versa. In any case. the saloon must
pay license Of at least $3.50 and as high
as s2700. the average being over sl0c0.
To defeat this measure in the Senate the
liquor interests have contributed a large
sum Of money. and established In = con-

II Is not pleasant to read the story of a

Ing of twenty-five indictments against
Herbert r. Beecher, of Washington Terri
tory, will probably result in bringing
him into court and uncoyering some
crooked transactions OF long standing.
Beecher was known a. one of Grover
Cleyeland's peculiar pets while he was
In the White House. The Democratic
President appointed this unworthy son of
the late Henry Ward Bcecher to an import
ant custom house office in " ashington Ter
ritory, but the Senate rejected the nomina-

obtain more evidence of how Mr.. Cleve-
land turned the ra>cals out. Had not young
Beccher's father been u warm supporter
Of Cleveland in 1854 and calumniator of

During the last Presidential campaign,
the free trade papers, in order to show
that the country was going to ruin under
protection, greatly exaggerated the num-
Der of such mortgages in Illinois at $500
900, 900, and the st Louis Republic at -,
000,0o0,0 900. The report of the Illinois
Bureau of Labor Statistics, however,
shows that the total mortgage indebted
meas on the farms of the State Is only
sla3, 733, 0es, which is only about 1882 per
cent. on the census valuation. Of this
mort gage debt, moreover, 30 per cent. is
held In the State of Illinois.

at the end of an hour was less than a

Displacement of Some of the Tags
Nearly Ends in Murder.
SHAwNEETowN, ILL, Dec 25.-A free
fight took place at Christmas celebration
in church in Eagle Creek precinct last
night, in which chairs, clubs, knives, and
pistols were used. Thomas Burroughs, the
church doorkeeper, and one of the most
respectable and prominent farmers
in the county, was dangerously stabbed.
Stout Colbert was hit in the chin with
bullet, and several other persons received
mistake in distributing the presents. As
usual at such entertainments, the parents in
the neighborhood had taken their gifts to
the church, where they were properly
labeled and hung up on a tree.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Some Of the tags were insecurely fastened
and dropped off, but were replrced as
accurately as possible. Last night large
crowd assembled to witness the distribution.
When about dozen of presents had been
handed to the children, a farmer named
johnson grabbed sled from a
child's hands and declared it was
Que he had brought there for his
little boy. The sexton attempted to explain
his mistake, but Farmer johnson pushed
carrying the sled in his hands Some
young men who had been drinking tried to
snatch the sled from johnson, and he
struck one of them and was himself felled
with a chair. The fight then became
general, and for time it looked as though
a number of the combatauts would be
killed

PARIS. Dec. 25.-The Temps has an i'm
portant article on the position of the French
government with regard to the conversion
of the Egyptian preference loan from a I
per cent. TO per cent. stock, as proposed
early in the year by Sir Edgar Vincent.
The Temps reports that the government
has intimnted to the British minister
that it will no longer insist upon the
evacuation Of Egypt by Englsndas condi-
tion OF its assent to the conversion of this
portion of the Egyptian debt, but may con-
sent IL England initiates the process OF
ev acuation by Withdrawing part of her
troops, and If 1t is agreed that the profit OF
the conversion shall be applied to the pur.
pose of strengthening the Egyptian army.
PROFITABLE FOR EGYPT.
1t has been calculated that the saving 60
the Egyptian treasury by tho reduction
would be equal to about $500, 900 year:
and this money spent upon tue Egyptian
army would admit Of an important reduc-
tion In the effectiveness Of the British army
without endangering any interest that the
presence of that army protects.
AS the Marquis of Salisbury has hitherto
refused to negotiate upon the ground that
military occupation and the debt were
parts of the same question, aud as England
claims that the retirement OF her forces
will be followed by the overrunning of
Egypt from Soudan, the prospect for an ex-
ceptance OF the French proposition is not

AUGUSTUS LITTLE RIOT.
AN ATTEMPT TO ARREST HAS A
/ YAMACRAw SEQUEL.

Two Policemen Knocked Down bv
Negroes and Beaten With Their
Own clubs-The Assailants Finally
Lodged In Jail and a General Out
break Avoided.
AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 25-What at one
time threatened to be serious disturbance
occurred in the city to-day. IL was the out
come OF open barrooms and mean liquor. A
large crowd gathered about q saloon in the
southern part Of the city, and a difl-
Guilty arose among them. Policeman
Williams aud Crawford attempted the ar
rest OF tho bellig rents At this juncture
the other negroes made con-
certed attack on the two officers,
throwing them down and beating them
severely with their own clubs. Re-enforce-
ments wero subsequently sent out and the
ringleaders were arrested.
WHITES RUSH TO ARMS.
Many whites in the meantime had armed
and trouble was feared. The police Thought
IL necessary to place their prisoners in an
engine house to save them from the
lncensed crowd. After several eff prts
the negroes were finally taken to Jail
aiu q buuIu ptdceu ABOUT tnB building
humors flew thick and fast through the
city during the afternoon and niglt that
the negroes proposed to rescue the pris-
oners. This caused much uueasiness, ID
very general preparations for any dem
onstration of the kind.
NEGRO REPORTED KILLED.
1t isreported that Q negro was killed
| on the street while the party under
arrest was bel G carried, and another
was painfully shot. These were street
difficulties growing out of the general
excl ement, and the negroes were not those
under arrest and the shooting was
not done by the officers. The placing of
the arrested negroes in the engine-house
was bad Judgment. Undue excitem mt re-
suited from it. and the reports were
circulated that they had shot AMI killed two
pol cemen. Everyt ling is quiet tonight
and no further trouble Is axnected
