 matters for Now York State.
 WAsu1NoroN, July 16-"Stories sent out to the effect that Secretary Blaine Is dan gerously ill.," said Assistant Secretary of State Wharton, ''are absolutely without foundation. It was necessary for certain papers to be sent to My. Blaine last week. and 1t was question whether Walker Blaine or Mir. Dent should take them to the Secretary of State. Finally, however, Walker Blaine decided to make the trip, as 1t would give him an opportunity to see and talk with his father, and If there had been any symptoms of sickness such as has been reported would surely have boon mo- tifled.
 Two have not yetlssued letters of instruc ton to Minister Douglass, and he will not sail for Haytl until matters assume more definite shape there.
 "As matter of fact, our Government has not recognized the claims of either Hip polyto or Legitime, and until that Is done it will not be imperative to send our repre-. sentative to Hayti. Beside, 1t is the yello W fever season now in Hayti, and there Is nc reason why Minister Douglass should jeop' ardize his health by going there at an un. healthy period.

Who Bears the Gossp

Clapp & Co, in their grain market
report of the week say:
"Our Government reports the
European crop at 120.00O.000 bush
els short of last season, then they
were short. The visible month
ago was but five-sixths of that year
ago. To day Italy rcpors but 7e3
per cent of a crop. The amount
afoat to England and France is but
two-thirds that year ago;'prices the
world over are 90 per cent less than
Oct. /, 1888. India is exporting but
half as much; Australia is importing;
so with South America instead of ex-
porting, with the United States ex-
pected to make up the shortage, and
a few old successful grain men thor
oughly convinced we have not grown
l50,000,0 900 bushels. Is it not EVIL
dent America holds the key to the
situation?"
If America" means the farmers
who raise the wheat, it is pretty Ger
tain they do not hold the ''key," but
the manipulators who stand between
the farmers and consumers, may
hold it. With less grain than last
year and the demand greater why are
prices 20 per cent less than a year
ago? There can be but one answer.
The amount of money in circulation
is less and consequently dearer.
The same amount of money this year
will purchase more produce than it
would last year. The debt holder
draws the same interest, the trans
portation company charges the same
freight, the commission merchant
and middle man charge the same
commission. The consumer will have
to pay the same but the farmer gets
less. lie bears all the loss.

The Republican State Convention
met at Westminster on Tuesday Oct.
LIST, and nominated George L. Yelling
ton for Comptroller of the Treasury.
In commenting on the resolutions the
appeal says
''The Committee on Resolutions, of
which w. T. Warburton, of Cecil, was
chairman, reported strong platform,
every plank Of which was received by
the convention with rousing cheers
The platform favors the enactment of
registration and election law embrace
ing the salient features of the Austria
liam ballot system; demands a reassess-
ment of property throughout the State,
the last assessment having been made
in 1879; advocates the employment of
colored teachers in all colored school,"
These are good planks for the plat
form of any party, and so is the county
prohibition law endorsement in the
temperance plank of the platform, but
when the resolutions continues--we
pledge ourselves to the adoption of
those measures which have been found
by the experience fother communities
most efficient in graduating the evils
and in restricting and regulating the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and COM
polling it to bear its full share of the
pecuniary burdens which it imposes
upon the communities, they at once
become contradictory. "The experience
of other communities" has been that
prohibition laws are the ony measures
that have been found any way "effici-
ent in eradlcating the evils" of the
whiskey trade. Restricting and regu
Iating the traffic" by any and every
kind of license law has proved the
most dismal failure of any legislation
ever placed on a statute book. We are
prepared to prove this from the Stats
ties of every high license state and
city in the country. The prohibition
counties of Maryland are the only parts
in the state where the crimes of
whisky are restricted. Havre de Grace
is the only drunken hoe in Hartford
county. And this is true all oyer the
safe. Hunt out the licensed holes and
you find the drunken parts. 1t is just
as sensible to try choking dog with
butter as to try restricting" much less
abo fishing the whiskey traffic by licens-
ing it.
The man who patronizes saloons
lands in the gutter, and the party that
encourages their existence by selling
them privileges to exist will land in
the same place. It's only question of
time and don't you forget it."

Of the peace and welfare Of the commu
nifty. IF anybody thinks it has he
should take a stroll through the streets
of the city after 10 o'clock at night and
be undeceived. The Court records
may not show it, but the best authori,
ties, the police, admit that drunkenness
among men and women, especially the
latter, was never more common. 1t is
possible the very evil the Legislature
sought to overcome has been increased
by the means used, and that the curtail
ment, not in drink, but in saloons, has
only aggravated the difficulty. Ger
tainly Rum Row alone turns cut more
drunkards every night than could once
be found the entire length of Pleasant
street, and the season isn't half over.
"The saloons are going day and
night, without let or hindrance. There
is no time for closing or opening; side
and back doors are on the continual
swing, and the crush and scramble for
beer and whiskey is something for the
Prohibitionists to wonder at"

the country. The cities and regions
IN which wealth has accumulated
the fastest are those in which the
number of persons but little removed
from the state of paupers is largest.
Instead of country filed with citi-
zens of nearly equal fortunes, and
contented because of that equality,
we have now country in which the
contrast of extreme poverty with
luxurious wealth is as striking as in
the over.crowded countries of Europe,
where society is yet divided on the
lines established by feudalism.
With US the poor people can make
the laws whenever they choose to do
so. They do not now because they
have not awoke to realization of
the rapid absorption of wealth by a
class limited in numbers which is
going on. When they do, they will
try to put stop to it, and their ex-
periments may destroy the country's
prosperity. There may be rapid
development of socialism, the spirit
and strength of which is The purpose
of bringing about equality among
citizens. The growth of enormous
fortunes, gained through discrimlna-
tions which the law makes in favor
of the few against the many. and the
conincident increase in the number
of the very poor because of those
determinations, cannot be allowed
to safely continue in republic like
ours. The foundation principle OF
the republic is the equality OF all
citizens before tie law. They are
not equal so long as by law the many
are taxed for the benefit of the few

Increase of Wealth and Poverty.

In 1850 the property in this coun-
try was valued at only $7,O00,OO0.
600 and if divided equally am ong the
Inhabitants it would have given each
person only s3OS. But there was
practically no pc, erty in those days.
The word tramp, in the sense now
used, had not been invented; there
were few or no strikes, and none of
the mutterLd discomfort that now
shows the restlessness of the working
classes. Now the valuation of the
property reaches beyond SIS, 100000
900, and if divided every man,
woman and child would lave more
than 81 900. The increase has Been
one of the most wonderful things of
an age when the wealth of all civiliz
ed countries has increased at a rate
never known before. But though the
national wealth has been increasing
nine fold in but little oyer genera
ton, the poor have increased in
perhaps as great ratio. The in
creased wealth has not been equal y
distributed. Property has drifted
into the hands of the few at such q
rapid rate that writer on economic
subjects of national reputation rec
emily calculated that 1000 persons
own more than half the wealth Of

HIGH LICENSE FOR PROSTITUTION,

HIGH LICENSE FOR PROSTITUTION.
The logical outcome of the idea of
legalizaticn for the saloon is legalization
for other institutions of vice. This
outcome is found to be a natural Sc
quence of the High License policy.
Already in several prominent High
License cities, regular system of Ii.
cense for prostitutes has been adopted
The plan is in force, notably, in the
81 900 license city of Omaha, where
monthly "fines" and "costs" are assess
ed against the prostitutes, and, in con,
sideration of the revenue paid, the
business" has acquired, in the eyes Of
its v9taries and of tn, public generally,
regular legal standing, and has be
come an important contributor to the
school funds.
Another High License city in which
prostitution is made respectable in the
same manner, is Hastings, Neb. The
saloon license fee in that town is 81 900
and the authorities, greedy for revenue
from vice, make regular "arrests' OF
prostitutes on the Omaha plan. The
returns of the Chief of Police for the
year ending April /, 1888, show los
''arrests" of prostitutes in total Of
1858 arrests.
In Baltimore, Nd, the Grand Jury
recently made report recommending a
High License system for the saloons
and also for the brothels.
In San Francisco it is proposed to
legalize prize fighting on High Ii
cense basis. At meeting of the Su
pervisors' Committee last month the
ACCESSIBILITY of such aplan was dis
cussed. Several members urged the
exacting of an annual fee of $4,000
from organizations authorized to give
prize.fghting exhibitions. Others
thought that a $4,000 fee would be
enough.
