Ninety Cents n Hund red.

Mr.. James A. Murray, Of Bryautown.who
shipped hegsbead Of selected tobacco to Dam
Vile, Virginia. about six weeks ago on the re-
presen tations of firm of leaf tobacco dealers
in that city that the product would suit their
market and possibly command good price,
has at length received an account OF the sale OF
the hogshead and the result is anything but
satisfactory to the shipper. After holding the
tobacco for FIVE weeks the warehousemen to
whom it was consigned sod it at 80 cents per
hundred weight and returned an account Of
SAT- for 525 pounds. The freight on the
hogshead was $4,79 and other expenses II
cents, leaving Mr.. Murray IS cents in debt on
the consignment. This is very discouraging g
and will doubtless deter any future shipments
of Maryland tobacco to the Virginia markets
from our section. Mr.. Murray says that to
secure this 525 pounds he culled over 5000 and
that every bundle was leafy, uniform and free
from defects, and from the representations
made to him by the Danvile merchants on the
sample first sent them he at all events expected
as much for the crop as could be obtained in
Baltimore. The remainder Of his tobacco Of
the same crop and quality. shipped to Balti-
more about the same time, brought him st
cents per pound, however, showing that after
all Baltimore is the best m arket for the Mary
land crop. Mr.. Murray is highly incensed at
the action of the consignees AS he distinctly
wrote them that if the tobacco w.s not suited
to their market to ship it to Baltmer at his
expense. This instruction they ignored en-
,irely and Mr.. MNrray now talks of an acto.
against them to recover the difference between
the price it was sold for aud what similar to-
bacco brought in Baltimore. 1t is only necss-
sary to say Danville to Jim now to arouse y
deluge Of invective and ire sufficient to food
a nation. Mr.. Wesley Bowie. who made
to the same parties about week sf-
ter Mr.. Murray, has as yet heard nothing fl. .m
them and is now on the anxious bench lest bis
tobacco also will also be given away. 3, and
s cents per pound for tobacco is bad enough
but mills for fair crop-Good Lord deliver

lucrative. We submit that the people of Connecticut don't want the experience of Boston engrafted on this state.
 It is not the number of saloons nor prohibition that is to solve the temper ance question. It is the uplifting of
 moral character. the creation of manly
 impulses, the diffusion of self-respect,
 the growth of selfcontrol, and above all the growth of self-restraint that are the best agencies of temperance work, and none of those can be attained or develop ed by legislation restricting the number of saloons The house showed unwont- ed wisdom in rejecting q bill that had its birth in the mind of intoxicating and short-sighted cranks.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-05-22
GOOD FOR THE HOUSE.

The house did well yesterday when it refused to pass the bill limiting the number of saloons to one for every five hundred inhabitants. Apart from the purely mischievous features of the bill. building up as it threatened to do an oligarchy of saloon keepers as an annex to the republican machine, it involved a piece of vicious class legislation that is entirely foreign to our institutions.
 The very fundamental principle of American citizenship is that all men stand on an equal footing before the law. We believe any law to be uncon- stitutional that singles out certain pre- ferred individuals. and particularly those whose preferred claims are to be decided by men chosen as the commits sioners of our counties are. to enjoy q monopoly of legalized and legitimate business. If the state recognizes the saloon business as legitimate industry-and it does until it adopts prohibition--then it has no right to discriminate, beyond certain moral requirements, as to who shall or shall not have the right to engage in the business. And especially it has no right to vest this power of discrimination in the hands of individuals like our county commissioners who are dependent on their political prestige for the office which they hold. The legislation pro- posed by this five hundred bill could have no possible effect in restricting or lessening the amount of liquor sold or consumed; for while it would lessen the number of those who sell it, it could have no possible effect in lessening the number of those who drink it. These persons might have to go little farther to indulge their appetites-though we apprehend that very seldom would their steps have to be much increased-but they would be very likely to get there just the same. Those who would have sufficient political influence to secure a license would find their sales largely in- creased and their profits greatly en- hanced. This is. in fact. the exper- fence of Boston where the number of saloons has been reduced by more than one-half :: the lucky ones who drew license prizes ill the lottery of political influence report their sales doubled and the business made proportionately moro

ONE OF THE O'NEILL FAXES.
 Mir O'Neill's bill imposing a tax on tel egraph and telephone companies, which passed the house yesterday, would probably have been more beneficial did it regulate the amount which these corpor- ations could legally collect for their services. Few persons will be disposed to object to a monopoly like the Western Union being compelled to pay tax into the state treasury, but good many will object when the amount of this tax is imposed pro rata on the messages which put on the company's wires. And so of the telephone service. Those who have the use of telephones few business men can now dispense with it-may be excused for believing that they already pay pretty stiff stipend for the service, and they will not feel very we'll pleased when the company. as it prob ably will, asks them to pay a sufficient extra amount to make up for the tax imposed by MT O'Neill's bill. Monopoly is at all times buIdensome, but some of our bungling attempts at legis- lative regulation are not particularly in huential in making the burden more Iolerable.
 If MT O'Neill could have so provided in his bill that the rates of service should not be increased we take it there would have been general rejoicing at it's pas sage. But there is no assurance that the tax may not be the means of making the patrons of telegraph and telephone com panies pay more for their service in pro- portion as the tax bears on the treasuries of the corporations. It may be. there fore, that the bill. should it pass the sen- ate, would not be the unmiXed blessing that the people are always willing to as sure themselves of when financial or leg lslative restraints are imposed on corpo- rate monopoies.

THE 7S0 saloon keepers in Boston say their business has more than doubled under the new law which reduced the number of saloons one-half. This Is very pleasant for the 1S0. while it Is consoling to the temperance people who thought the reduction of saloons meant corresponding reduction in the amount or liquor consumed.
