Anti-LiguOr League.

The nucleus for an anti-liquor league
has been formed in Lorain county. As
stated In its constitution the object Of the
league "shall be 10 secure the enforcement
and improvement OF anliliquor laws IN
the State of Ohio and the adoption OF pro
hibition under the existing local option
statutes" For this purpose il is proposed
10 reconstruct public sentiment and pro-
ceed to secure prohibition through the
combined efforts Of all temperance peo-
pie irrespective Of parties The Democrat
is expected 10 surrender his prejudice
against what he has from time immemor-
ial denounced as sympathy legislation
and help 10 establish what he calls in his
platform laws that vex the cilizon in the
exercise OF personal liberty" Tle Prohi.
bitionist is expected to break up house
keeping, be satisfied with half of loaf,
leave the field of idle speculation" and
endorse the practical fact" that general
prohibition is impracticable and local

partisan league, not absolute prohibition,
for local option puts no fetters on the
manufacture or importation Of liquors, and
the citizen is free to obtain supplies by
wholesale and consume them by
wholesale or retail in public or private.
Hence the prohlbItionists cannot be ex-
pected to accept local option as solution
in full Of the liquor question, although in
localities II may accomplish good results.
He is willing to aid to establish II and en-.
force II when established, hence he bids

by local option is the abatement Of tip.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Editor OF THE ESTERPRIsE:-
One of the most beautiful towns In
Southern California is Riverside, located
fiiy miles inland from the ocean, in a
pretty mountain valley. II possesses a
peculiar dry climate and stimulating at
mosphere, which combine 10 make II a de-
sirable home during all seasons Of The
year. The location, the soil, the water
supply, Rd possibly the enterprise Of her
land owners all combine TO make River
side the center of the orange industry Of
California. The past year there was
shipped from here seven hundred and
twenty-five car loads Of prime oranges,
which sold on the Eastern markets for 81,
100000. The Riverside settlement con.
sists Of some twelve thousand acres Of
land, incorporated as a city, Of which
about three thousand five hundred are
planted TO orange trees. Fifteen hundred
acres 20 muscat grapes, and one thousand
acres to apricots and other desidious fruits.
This valley is irrigated by water from the
mountains. The main fruit growing por.
tion begins below the town and stretches
down the valley, being trayersed by the
famous Magnolia avenue. This magnih.
cent avenue is one hundred and fifty feet
wide and ten miles long; II Is lined with
three r,Iws OF beautiful trees-the spiral
eucalypters, the graceful pepper, and the
tropical palm. On either side Of the ave-
nue. are orange groves bending beneath
their rich load Of fruit, and amidst this
profusion Of wealth and beauty are many
lovely homes. 1t Is an impressive sight
10 look over these fields Of gold and green
and through the indescribably beautiful
tints Of purple, lavender and crimson at
sunset. Here amid the perfume Of orange
groves, bathed 10 sunshine and decorated
blossoms like bride on her wedding
day, by the scene and memories awakened

bearing are worth from four TO five thou.

THE President vetoed the direct tax bill
on Saturday and the Senate carried il
over his head by vote Of 40 yeas N 0
nays. In his comments he claimed that
il was unconstitutional to disburse money
from the treasury in that way. Money
he said could be disbursed for common
defense but a civil war did not come
within the meaning of common defense.
This is quite dodge. Now 1t happened
in this wise, at the commencement of the
civil war the country was in debt the
enormous sum Of 100000 and for rea.
sons it was necessary TO have funds TO
meet the incidental expenses Of the
government and instead Of issuing bonds
or negotiating for loans from other coun.
tries, direct tax was levied upon the
states. All the states were asked 10 re-
spond, but few failed to do so. The ex.
pense Of the general government are 10 be
paid from revenues and duties and the
people are not to be directly taxed for
such expenses except on special occasions.
At that time it was the wisest course 10
pursue TO keep our credit good at home.
Now, as We view the matter, the general
government just borrowed SO much money
from the states and II became a debt
against them and as matter Of business
il should be returned with interest.

PRESIDENT HARRISON laid down COM
mon sense policy in his inaugural address.
A free ballot and protection to our indus
tries are the main points before the
country for consideration. The admis-
sion of the states, the Mormon question
and others of similar importance are
merely domestic matters that can be look
ed after with but little trouble compared
with others.

IT is matter of record that majority
Of the members of the General Assembly
from the cities are classed with what
might be termed schemers They have no
time to frame laws of general nature as
they are kept busy to attend to the wants
OF their constituents in introducing bills
in favor of their respective cities.

England has failed to discover that IL re.
quires more men and women 10 do the
same amount of work in that country
Than his own. Ispesk sdvisedly when /
say that nearly twice as many servants
are required to do the necessary work in
house IN London as are required in
New York. The same is true OF all kinds
OF manual labor. Estim ating by what
u accomplished. there Is very litIle differ
ence In the price OF labor in the United
States and Great Britain. Wherever |
went In the latter country noticed the
same sluggish movements OF the
lacorers on the great landed es-
tates, IN shops, in factories. upon
the docks. The late Mr.. Griswold. of
New York was strongly impressed by
what he witnessed in this respect. When
he was In England and Scotland he spent
good deal OF time in their shipyaris,
and In the last conversation which had
with him in London, he said that after
close observation OF the manner In which
work was done in those yards. he had
come 10 the conclusion that il the foreign
materials which are needed in shipbuild.
ing were freed from duties. ships could
be built as cheaply in the United States
as In England or Scotland. English and
Scotch workmen are paid less per day
than we should have To pay. but they
don't do as much AS we should REQUIRE.
Either the climate or beer makes them
sluggish. Besides, said be. I'VE should
do scores Of things by machinery that
they do by hands"
The protective tariff can no longer be
defended on the ground that wages are
lower In Great Britain than in the United
States. which is not only the most pros
ductive but the most inviting of coun-
tries, with doors wide open to all com,
ers. IL labor was not more efficient
here than In other countries. the foreign
laborers who every year are coming by
thousands would equslize its cost.
To me 1t seems very clear that all the
great industrial interests In the United
states are greatly in need Of freer trade
with other nations. and that this can only
be brought about by radical change in
our financial policy.
| congratulate the members Of the club
upon the progress which tariff reform is
making. as Indicated by the recent elec
tons, but II must be borne in mind that
tue pIoleClNe interests are strong IN
wealth. If not in numbers: that having
controlled the economic policy of the
government for nearly quarter of CEN
fury. and been enriched by it, they will
not yield that control without severe
contest. II. however, such associations
rs yours do their full duty, II the great
body Of fair-minded people, especially
the farmers, are made to understand to
what extent the many are taxed for the
benefit OF the few. how prejudicial the
tariff IS to all our great interests. es-
pecially farming interests. which under
lies all other interests. the result Of the
contest will not be long doubtful.
With constantly Increasing faith in the
soundness OF the doctrine of which have
been for many years an humble advocate.
that, as a rule. taxes should be imposed
for revenue only, remain. very truly
yours, HUGH McCuILoCU.
