that the Democrat who hinched now from

hung up by their packers have acquired by long experience a facility in lodging the police. It is unlikely, therefore, that a little thing like governors displeasure will be allowed to interfere with the fes- tiyities if the knights of the fists are in the condition of Barkis.
 It would be useless to speculate on the result of Mondays argument. The peo- pie of this country have so long been ac- customed to see the pride of Boston knock out every one of his antagonists with the exception of John Barleycorn that it would be quite pleasant novelty for them to gaze on his proud form humbled in the dust of Louisiana. Whether or not we are to have that pleasure will depend considerably on the heart as well as the fists of the hero of Baltimore. The man who stands up to do battle with the hero of innumerable rounds with Mir Barleycorn must be of stout heart and brawny hands-he must have the knocking out force of old King Alcohol himself. The public will waCCn the ulSpute uO"u HI houAoAsAAe' with a good deal of interest, but it is likely to be of the kind the woman showed who saw her husband fighting with bear and 'did'nt care which licked"
 If the brutes could be kept at it until they hammered each other out of shape they would confer lasting favor on a long suffering public who have been com pelled for weeks to wade through col umns of gush about wind bags, skipping ropes, bloat sweats and other interesting exercises desiane to knock rum out of the human system. Or ifthe law would lay its hand upon both of them and shut them up for about ten years there would be little regret except among the toughs and gamblers. But as neither good fortune is likely to be in store we would
 advise everybody in Waterbury to read

SENATOR DON CAMERON it is reported will retire to private life at the close of his present term in 1891, he having con- tinued in politics only in obedience to the wishes of his father, whose death has released him from further pursuing an occupation that is distasteful to him. From the impression the noble Don has made upon national legislation he seems to be one of those senators who never will be missed. And there are others in the same boat,

PRESIDENT HARRISON has appointed MT Charles Mex. Loeser, publisher of the Wine and Spirit Gazette, we'll known liquor dealers organ, one of the Amer ican experts to the Paris exposition. As the berth will pay him about S15 ,OOO and give him comfortable trip at the public expense it is gift not to be sneezed at. Had a democratic president made this appointment it would have been loudly heralded by republican organs as a recog- milton of the saloon element in politics. As Harrison made it, however, it is all right. It makes some difference how a mans political coat is cut in this country

THE SPARROW NUISANCE.

THE SPARROW NUISANCE.
 People who have watched the ravages of that little pest the English sparrow will be glad to learn that there is now official authority for indicting him as the nuisance he has long since proved him. self to be. Dr c. Hart Merriam, gov ernment ornithologist, and Walter B. BarrOws, his assistant, have reported that he is fully the nuisance which he has been charged with being, and the government has sent out their verdict to the country.
 According to the indictment brought against him by these experts, the En- glish sparrow is convicted of eating grains and seeds in destructive quanti- ties, both in field and garden; of destroy ing quantities of vegetables and fruits: of maltreating and virtually exiling from their native haunts many of our cherished warblers and other birds, even the brave and pretty robin being no match for him; of being noisy, quarrelsome and filthy. Nothing worse than this has been said of the sparrow, even by his bitterest human foe. The strangest thing of all is that anyone who has observed him and taken notice of his habits should have the smallest doubt on this score. Mir Merriam and MT Barrows recommend the birds extermination, which will probably find an echo in the hearts of people generally through the country. If there be any method practicable by which this can be achieved it ought to be and probably will be attempted. The little pest was never any good to this country, and it was a bad day when he was brought here. He is not only fast driving away the unrivalled songsters who used to be the pride and the delight of our felis, but the increase of destruc- tive insects and vermin, from which other birds have relieved us, may be traced to the time when the sparrow first made his appearance, and the filth he creates becomes more disgusting every year.
 Few will be disposed we take it to throw discord into the chorus that the English sparrow must go.

IOWA GETTING SENSE ALSO.

It is strange but true.
 Iowa is beginning to evince little of the common sense that other states have shown in regard to prohibition. The state is beginning to realize that pro- hibitien does not prohibit. According to dispatch from Burlington published in the Chicago Tribune, the defeat of the prohibitory amendment in Pennsy]- vania and the repeal of a similar amend ment inRhode Island have excited consid- erable interest all through Iowa among both prohibitionists aud nti-prohibition- ists. Many who favored the enactment of the prohibitory law, in the hope that good would come of it, have become discouraged at the manifest impotency of the law to check the evil of intem- state.
 It has been found that prohibition utterly fails to prohibit.
 Though the law has been in force for several years, there is no apparent dimi- mutton in the number of saloons nor in the amount of drunkenness. With in the last few weeks more places for the sale of liquor have been opened than for any similar period in number of years. It is safe to say that not one saloon has been closed but another has sprung up to take its place. In number of instances sheds in back yards and even stables have been utilized for saloon purposes. Altogether the facts point to an entire lack of re- straint exercised by the law which pro- hibits the sale of liquor within the state.
 It is little wonder, ill view of the con- dition of affairs that prevails, that the anti prohibition sentiment should be on the increase and that a strong feeling i'll favor of license law should make itself manifest. In this Iowa is ranging her self in line with other states whose cit izens have profited from experience, like those of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, or have been capable of learning by ob- servation, like those of Pennsylvania. There is feeling among the American people generally that prohibition is in furious to the moral and material interests of the state-to the former in that it creates spirit of duplicity and evasion and even taste for drink,
 because that thing which men are prohi-
 bited from doing is likely to be the very thing which they will show themselves most anxious to do and to the latter in that it affects injuriously the revenues and real estate and business values of the state. Where prohibition prevails there is certain to be a stagnation of general enterprise that works disadvan- tageously to the commonwealth. Such has been the experience of small com | munities where it has been tried as we'll
 as larger ones. And the disposition that prevails where it is in force to recede
 from it is proof that prohibition is being ! recognized as a failure for the purposes l it is supposed to be intended to effect. Iowa will act wisely if she decides to repeal a law that is utterly ineffective and injurious to the best interests of the state.
