PROHIBITION AGAIN DEFEATED.

The people of Massachusetts have again
voted on the proposition to put prohibition
in the constitution, and like common-sense
folks, who are governed by intelligence
rather than by sentiment they have de
feated the amendment by a satisfactory
maiority-a majority so large, in fact, that
it should put a quietus for long years on
the subject of constitutional prohibition
When any American state, or even local
community of any considerable proportions,
shall demonstrate that legal prohibition
will prohibit, the other states and commu-
mites viii fall into line so quickly that 1t
will astonish the Missionaries who vainly
imagine that the consumption of intoXi-
cants can be suppressed by declaring their
manufacture and sale unlawful. The ma
iority of the American people would cheer
fully put a stop to the liquor traffic, if
they could do so. If the majority vote
could control, intOxicants would neither be
sold nor manufactured within the confines
of the United States. But the experience
of long years has taught the American PEG
pie that not only the majority but the min
ority must proclaim in favor of prohibition
DElOIG llt u III I'LL NfLlA w tbDSAASNi.
1t does not argue that because the majority
of the votes of Massachusetts declared in
opposition to the prohibitory amend
ment that the majority of the voters
are opposed to the suppression Of the liquor
business. 1t argues, rather, that the voters
have learned by experience and observa-
ton the folly of attempting an impossible
ity, and that they do not, with their eyes
open and their intelligence UnclOuded, want
to put an idle provision in the fundamental
law Of the commonwealth. Perhaps the
greater proportion of those who voted
mo" if they had been convinced
that the amendment would have
abolished the liquor business, or
even materially promoted temperance,
would have voted yes" They were not
so convinced, and they did not propose that
the state should repeat the farce which is
being played in Maine, Iowa and Kansas,
where constitutional prohibition has but
slightly diminished the consumption of in
toxicants, and has notperceptbly decreased
intemperance.
Having escaped the folly of at
tempting prohibition the people of
Massachusetts should now demand at
the hands of the legislature
high license lava law making the
license for selling intoxicants as high as
the business will stand and placing the
traffic under the strictest possible
official control and regulation. Com
pei the men who drink whisky
to pay for the stuff, and to also pay the eX-
pense which whisky drinking imposes upon
a community The well-meaning but mis-
taken, if not misguided men and women
who are victims of a legal prohibition
mania viii advance the humane cause for
which they so earnestly labor, if they will
exert themselves to convert individuals to
prohibition instead of wearing away their
lives in trying to make laws achieve i'm
possible results.

A LITTLE girl visited one Of the govern
ment war ships and strayed into the kitchen
where the cooks were preparing dinner.
What she saw there disturbed her practi-
cal, economic mind, and she Immediately
wrote to Secretary TRACY, informing him
that the sailors wasted great deal by
pairing potatoes. She also explained that
in her opinion enough could be saved by
taking thin parings to pay for another
ship TO take the place of one of those de
stroyed at Samoa. The secretary has not
yet acted on the suggestion, but it is prob
able that an order will be Forthcoming that
all potatoes used in the naval service must

IF THE story which an eastern newspaper
tells is true, Farmer WRIGHT, of Missouri,
is entitled to the gratitude of a long-suffcr-
ing generation. The farmers daughter was
married, the other day, and in the evening
a crowd of barbarians, calling itself a
chalivari party, visited the house and with
horns, drums and tin pans made night
hideous. The old farmer endured the
racket, conceding that much to the custom
of the neighborhood. The second night the
party returned and created a worse dis
turbance Finally the old man went out
and ordered the gang off the premises, say
ing that one night of their torture was
enough The third night the fellows came
back. bent on further mischief, and armed
with weapons of defense, in case the
farmer should attempt to drive them away
This was too much for human nature, even
in Missouri, and taking down double
barreled shotgun, WRIGHT went cunning
for the protection of himself and family
The contest was short, sharp and decisive.
Two of the enemy were laid out, and a
third hobbled away with more or less
goose-shot distributed recklessly about his
person. OF course, WRIGHT has been ar
rested, butn jury viii convict him, and it
is probable that the fool-killers will give
him pension for doing some of the formers
work.

IT IS a delightfully."- humorous bit Of fic-
ton which Delegate DUBOIS works off on
our Washington correspondent. The Dele
gate says he cannot find Republicans in his
territory who are willing to accept the fed
eral offices in that dependency. There is a
81 200 postofice up in the panhandle which
the postmaster general has asked DUBOIS to
fill, but the Delegate cannot comply.because
there is no one in the town who wants to be
bothered with such petty affair as post
office which only pays 500 per month. The
office at Boise, the capital of the territory,
will be vacant shortly, and it drives the
Delegate wild to think of the trouble he will
have in inducing Republican to accept
the place with its 81, 700 salary. All of this
is very amusing out this way, where the
Republicans in our neighbor territory are
known to be so Office hungry that there is
absolutely nothing in the gift of the admin
istration the best of them would not snap
up with avidity. MIR. DUBOIS is evidently
trying to pose his people as patriots, and
not of that style of patriotism which is exen-
plitied IN the person of the famous DANIEL
WEBSTER FLANAGAN, of Texas, who hon
estly asked: ''What are we here for, if not
for the ofices!'

WHAT WILL HARRISON DO?

President HARRISON has it in his power
to do good or harm to Utah. The Presi-
dent cannot make laws for the territory.
In the matter of legislation he can do abso-
lutely nothing. Any member of Congress
is more influential than he in this respect.
Even the recommendations to Congress by
Presidents within late years have had little
weight with the real w-makers. The
annual messages which contain the execu-
tive's suggestions are formally referred to
various committees, who are supposed to
read their respective portions and formu-
late bills to carry out the Presidents ideas.
But if the messages are ever read that is
the end of the matter, SO far as the commit
tee and Congress are concerned. President
HARRISON may proclaim against Utah, and
request additional and more stringent legis-
lation in harmony with the wisaes of the
radical and unreasonable element, and we
doubt that any attention would be paid to
his denuaciation and request. 1t it not as
sumed that the President viii ask more
special legislation for this territory or that
he even desires more; we refer to the mat
ter merely to show how powerless modern
fTGsl 1tulS III MAUI - VI
what little real concern to Congressm,
the annual messages are.
While there is not the rcmotest prOba-
bility of further adverse legislation General
HARRISON can work much good or much i'll
by the character of the men he appoints to
office in Utah, AMI by the instructions
which he causes to be given them as to the
manner in which they shall perform their
duties. The new administration comes into
power to find higher degree of peace and
a larger measure of prosperity than have
existed here for these many years. There
is less of the troublesome excitement than
we have been accustomed to, and we hear
very little, comparatively, Of the terrorism
which under the previous Republican ad
ministration made Utah veritable hell
on earth as dwelling place. While this
better condition of affairs exists, there
is no slackening of energy on the
part of the officers in the performance Of
their duties. The laws are enforced with
as much vigor as ever, and the offenders
are as certainly made to suffer the penal
ties prescribed. The most determined
officials could do no more than has been

PRIVATE SECRETARY HALFoRD is getting
along very well His duties are to write
for the President, and write in such way
as to seem to say something while actually
saying nothing. HALFoRD hasn't been a
''literary feller'' all these years for nothing,
as will be understood by the following: A
negro in Kansas heard there was discrimi-
nation against the blacks at the White
House, and wrote to the President to ask if
the rumor was well-grounded. HALFoRD
answered the letter, and said: ''The Pres
ident hopes to be able, when all the appoint
ments are made, to have it known that he
has treated all classes of Republicans as
fairly as possible, with a high regard for
the good of the public service" No fault
