High License in Pennsylvania.


The Washington Star sums up the statisti-
cal results of the Pennsylvania high license
law:
.'The Brooks High License Liquor law OF
PENNSYLVANIA has been in operation for lit
tie more than two years. The first effect OF
raising the cost of license from $50 to $500,
as was the case in most of the larger cities,
or to $500 in the smaller ones and $3.50 in
boroughs, and of the requirement that the
bondsmen of no dram seller shall themselves
be engaged in the manufacture Of liquors,
was to cut down the number of licenses. 10
nine populous counties not one was issued,
and in three others only very few. The
number in the whole state declined from
IA, 553 to 7,724 But in spite of this the rev.
enue from licenses nearly doubled in one
year. In Philadelphia the number of lieen-
ses fell off in the same period more than
three quarters. In Allegany county, where
Pittsburg and Allegany are both situated,
there are only about one-tenth as many retail
licenses in force now as two years ago.
Added to these benefits are the decrease IN
crime and drunkenness, the increase in the
value of property and the general improve
ment in the states morality. High license is
an undoubted and indisputable success.

July Storms.

During a heavy thunderstorm at Daven,
port, Iowa, on Saturday night, more than
five inches of water fell in six hours. 1t is
feared that much damage has been done to
crops.
A violent wind and rain storm did consid-
able damage at Susquehanna, Pa, on Satur-
day afternoon. Trees and outbuildings were
blown down and the corn fields were ruined.
Early on Saturday morning a cloud burst
occurred in the hills north of Fort Robinson,
Nebraska, and food swept down the little
valley of Soldier creek, the wave being SIX
feet high Marsh Duncan, wood chopper,
and three of his children are known to have
been drowned, and it is feared several others
shared the same fate.
Heavy rains early Monday morning did
great damage to farm property in the leban'
on and Schuylkill valleys, Pennsylvania. AT
Avon, Myerstown and Lebanon the lower
floors of a number of houses were flooded.
Many fields were submerged, and crops which
had been cut and left lying were washed
away. Much damage was done IN the north
ern portion of Lancaster county by storms oil
Saturday and Sunday nights.

ton is revolution, and revolution is dis
organization of society.
The only point of difference between
Senator Allen and the ADVOCATE is, he
does not teach obedience to the mandates
of the courts, aud the ADVOCATE does.
Upon the subject of taxation we are in
accord Every man should bear his just
proportion of the burden of government.
1t is his right and duty to resist, by lawful
means, any unjust imposition, and if the
law imposing the unequal burden is sus-
tanned, it is his right and duty to labor for
the repeal of the law.
In conclusion, we are free to say that
we admire Senator Aliens stand taken in
his tax case. While he may not be sue
cessful, the agitation of the question will
result in benefit to society. And We will
go further and express the hope that the
Democrats of Hartford will nominate and
elect him to the House of Delegates, for
which he is a candidate in order that he
may be in better position to keep up the
agitation. He will be useful member,
and will do credit to his county.

About the most uncertain business Is

1 ,sss newspapers died for lack Of support
but 2,655 new ventures were made Il i
safe to say that many Of these were not
needed, and viii go to the wall. The null
DUPLICATION of newspapers IS far beyond pub
lie demands, especially Of Httlc dailies.
Failures are frequently due to the ineapa-

Few offices are to be given out in Mary
land, it has been announced in Republican
papers, until after the November election,
and the successful ones then are to be those
who have 'staken the most Democratic
scalps, or, in other words, those who have
procured the most Democratic votes in the
November election, and worked the hard
est to redeem the state from Democratic
control The principles of civil service re-
form are to be thrown to the winds, and
fitness made a secondary consideration.
The men who do the most work are to get
the Offices as a reward for their zeal in
promoting Republicanism. This is simply
an appeal to the baser nature of the voters.
It is calculated to make them sordid and
mereenary, instead of exercising their pa
triotism aud intelligence in the solemn act
Of casting their ballots. It is a pollution
of the elective franchise.
