THE new High License law went
into operation in Connecticut on the
first day of this month. This makes
the tenth State which has adopted this
method of dealing with the liquor
traffic, all of them Northern and Re-
publican States except Missouri and
New Jersey. The Connecticut law is
not so satisfactory in its restrictive
features as are those of Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania. But it establishes
S4OO fee for a license, and imposes
various restrictions on the establish.
ments which obtain it.

GEN. B. F. BUTLER thanks Heaven
that Deputy Marshal Negle was a good
shot, and Robert G. Ingersoll, who
was asked by Sarah Althea Hill to be
her attorney in the prosecution of JUS
tice Field because her husband, Judge
Terry, had been shot, replied that
there wasn't money enough in Cali
fornia to induce him to take up her
case. When a case is so bad that these
men will not even take it for pay as
legal counsels, it must be in the ex-
treme of reprObation.

THE OLD FLINT-LoCK GUN.

There's a battered old gun OF the time Of King
George.
That hangs on my grandfather's WALL
The barrel was wrought in some ruce country
forge,
And the stock-it just happened that's all
IT'S rusted and bent, and there's nary dent
In this old-fashioned engine OF war;
For fox and for pa fridge" it s not worth a
cent
And I'm sure I'd not trust it for bar"
But, long long ago. when my grandfather's dad
Was a strapping young sprout OF eighteen,
That ramshackle gun made the Redcoats feel
bad.
As they marched through the broad village
green
They say that my ancestor erouched meath a
wall,
And rested his piece on stone,
And rammed it and crammed il with powder
and ball
And peppered away, all alone,
The foe could not stop for, like fate in the rear
The minuts-men followed en- 5sGsse:
so granodaddy's dad pegged away without fear,
Till four q the Reds bit the grass.
A brave deed, yon say: Well, I never shall
boast
or the family prowess-not 1:
But think there are some who'd have quilted
the coast
And let The Kings soldiers march by.
I'm proud OF the f1int-,ock that CLEANS on the
pegs,
In the bright. itful blaze Of the FIRE:
And I'll venture TO say that few N en- with legs
Would have stuck like my granddaddy's sire
All honor 10 him! And when brave deeds are
sung
or the heroes whose fame we recall.
Let line be slipped in for the old fint-lock gun
And the man who pegged over the wall,
Paul Pastno- in Puck.

DEMOCRACYS FATE.
why the Protection Issue Is Sure to ID
stray rha

why the Protection Issue Is Sure to De.
strOy the Party.
We have been expecting to hear
some free-trade paper announce that
the death of William Ii. Barnum is a
big setback to the protectionist wing
of the Democratic party. and that the
work OF bringing that element under
the domination of the Carlisles, Brock
inridges and Millses of the organiza-
ton would be comparatively easy as a
consequence. Many free traders I'm.
doubleday believe this. and some OF
them will probably say it. Barnum
had always been opposed to the "rev-
enue only men of his party, and he
fought them strongly and ardently be-
fore and during the St Louis conven-
ton last year. 1t would be natural,
therefore, for his Democratic antag-
onists to view his death as an irrepar-
able loss to his adherents.
But Barnum's death does not re-
move the last of the able and con-
spicuous Democratic protectionists.
Senator German is still alive and &C
tive, ex-Secretary Whitney is more
powerful and more alert than ever,
while David B. Hill stands like Col
ossus in the political foreground. tow
ering above the other magnates of his
party. These are only few of the
Democratic chieftains who stand for
the principle in economics for which
Barnum stood. The person who i'm
AGNES that these men can either be
ignored or silenced knows nothing Of
the fiber of which they are composed.
1t must not be inferred, however,
that the Obstinacy or activity of its
protectionist element will bring any
strength to the Democratic party.
From the very nature of the case the
free-trade faction must always be the
dominant portion of the Democracy so
lorg as the question of protection
Uersus free trade remains the leading
issue in our politics. No matter
what Democrat gets the nomination,
the policy and tendencies of his party
must be in the direction of low
tariff, while the great line of cleaV-
age between the two big parties con-
tinues as it is now and as it has been
in recent National canvasses. The
great bulk of the protectionists will
be arrayed under the Republican ban
ner, while the free traders will all be
found in the Democratic ranks. The
potency and activity of the Demo-
cratic protectionist chiefs, therefore.
will simply divide and distract the
party councils, sap the party vitality
and extend and strengthen the Repub-
lican organization.-St Louis Globe
Democrat
