The Rhode Island Senate has

The Rhode Island Senate has jus,
passed bill to re-submit the prohibi-
tory liquor amendment to popular
vote. The bill has not yet passed
the House. As the question is a
pending one in Pennsylvania, the Phil
adelphia Record has sent a repre-
sentative to Rhode Island. to investi-
gate and report the operation of tie
present law in that State. His alleged
investigations III the city of Pawtucket
show, "that leaving out all places about
which there may be doubt, that city has
2o3 drinking places, including private
houses where liquor is sold, the number
is 225." The Record then contrasts
the condition OF Pawtucket under Pro-
hibition, with Philadelphia under high
license. Under Prohibition this city
OF $4,000 people supports 225 drinking
places, or one to every III persons.
Philadelphia, with population that
may fairly be estimated at 100000,
has 1850 saloons under high license,
or one to every Sis persons. If Phila-
delphia had as many drinking places in
proportion to her population as Paw
tucket has under prohibition. she would
have 10000. The difference between
10000 and I,35ois $500, and this may
be taken as representing the number of
new drinking places that may be ex-
pected to spring up if prohibition works
in the same wonderful manner in Phila-
delphia as it does in Pawtucket."
Taking it for granted that the Records
statistics are correct, the most we are
willing to conrede is that in the present
condition of public sentiment in large
centers of population, a restrictive sys-
tenn like high license IS more successful
than absolute prohibition. But how
throughout the counties of this and
other states where the population is
difused throughout small communities
There a different condition prevails.
Take Cecil County for instance. No
one familiar with our affairs will deny
that prohibition does prohibit here.
That the law is respected and enforced
as successfully as any other law of the
prohibitory class. If it can be enforced
in Cecil, why not in every other county
of Maryland2 lin Maryland, why not
in Pennsylvania 1t can BE-, if the
people of those counties want it. And
they should have an opportunity to de
clare their wishes in our opinion, by
counties, and not by the aggregate vote
of entire States. Why should a county
of state where the majority is ready
for and want prohibition, be compelled

We take occasion every
week or SO to nudge you with
thought of our Book Store.
Of course you know it's here,
but do you know that the turn
over of Books in it every year
is more than that of any other
Bookstore in America! Such
a state of things isn't a happen
so. Business doesn't grow
that way. There's a reason
for such a trade success.
E0e1-y Book IN the store has its
price Plainly benriEmarked on
a back Hy-leat. The lowest
possible price; likely as not
half or quarter of what the
Book was published at.
Wherever you are, you are
in reach of our Book Store if
you are in reach of a postofhce.

In all the higher grades of

less than last season. Quail

The Anti-Treating Movement.

We believe there is not a nationa
habit which, outside of those pecuniar.
lily benefited by it, has fewer sincere
defenders than the strictly American
custom of treating" in public saloons
and bar-rooms. 1t has few defenders
even among habitual drinkers, because
it is universally recognized as.the one
generally prevailing social habit to
which more than any other national
custom the greatest number of men
owe their downfall. But while the
magnitude of the evil is recognized, the
impotency OF legislation to correct or
control it is equally conceded. Men
cannot be legislated into sobriety and
no law can be formulated which will
lessen the treating" habit while sa-
looms remain open. To say by statute,
that one citizen shall not "treat" an
other in a public saloon, whose exis,
tence is sanctioned by the same legis
lative authority, is monstrous anomoly,
and an offensive invasion of the per-
sonal liberty of the citizen. Hence We
cannot reasonably expect that remedial
legislation in the shape of anti "treat-
ing" bills, such as that presented to
the Pennsylvania Legislature will ever
amount to any thing. Either the
means of INDUCING the habit-the sa
loon-must be abolished, or if con-
tinued to be sanctioned by law the
judgments of individual drinkers must
be reached. Public sentiment must be
educated up to the point of condem-
nation of a pernicious public custom.
While we regard the total abolition OF
the traffic as the only final rem
edy for the evil, still it is not un
instructive to notice the growth of
sentiment against the treating" Gus
tom, and the means adopted by GER
tain organizations to counterfeit and
destroy it. In this connection our at
tention has been attracted by the state
ments contained in an editorial article
of the Philadelphia Ledger relative to
the method adopted by the Catholic
clergy of Brooklyn who have organized
what they have called "The Legion of
the Cross" the chief purpose OF which
is to discourage treating"
Commenting on the spirit and pur-
pose of this movement the Ledger
says the Catholic Church, in its efforts
to restrict the drinking of intoxicating
liquors, has generally Insisted upon to-
tai abstinence, but it admits drinking
men" to the new League, insisting
only that they shall not Great" any

to wait the growth of sentiment in large
centers of population. where if the
question is to be determined by aggre-
gate state vote, the lighter vote of the
counties will be over balanced by that
of large cities and towns.

The Sunday Concerss-A Herman KIei-
 nor Night.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: I wish to express my thanks to Alderman Klelner for the manly stand he took on the Sunday concert question. If certain other aldermen did show themselves to be jackasses by attempting to defy a wholesome law of the commonwealth, am glad that one man had courage to stand for the right. The att | tempt at nullifoation by certain little men | who seem to imagine that the board of alder men of Nsw Haven is bigger body and of greater authority than the legislature and 3 3sovereign people of tho State of Connecticut, | ought to be frowned upon by every good | citizen. Even these blusterers seem to have felt later on that the State had some rights; for they refused to pass an ordinance closing
 the barber shops on Sunday, because the State law was sufficient end supreme. Tho fact seems to be that we have some members In the board who decidedly favor dissertation of the Sabbath, and will do what they can to promote 1t. May their places be filled by better men.
 But the motion to have the eity pay for a band concert on Sunday was an insult to every church member in the city, because 1t was in defiance of the law of the Lord, and was an insult to every loyal citizen of Con- necticut. because 1t was in defiance of the law of the land.
 And I for one wish to emphasize my
 thanks to Alderman Kleiner for preventing
 the higher branch of our Court of Common
 Council from s.ultifying itself by uaing the oity money to draw mob of Sabbath break
 CTS up through Orange street to the rock.
 May we always have some one iu the city government who will stand up for the law and for the protection of
