JUST now it Is under discussion whether prohibition prohibits in the states which have prohibition laws or cononstitutions. Strong evidence is quoted on either side. Character of evidence considered, every fair minded man now is impressed that Iowa, Kansas and Maine, at least, keep down their percentage of crime and pauperism by prohibition. There are cities in either state where the law is de- fled, but even in these liquor Is not % openly sold, nor temptations so closely put before the young as in the cities of license states. It is matter of doubt whether prohibition is as effective to reduce drunkenness as rigor- ous restraint in states where the public opin- ion is very nearly divided. It is certain that no law is best for a community where the ma jority is hostile to such law. The enemies of prohibition may be depended upon to be counted by their votes. The consistent be- iever in prohibition should therefore also vote at every opportunity. But men who would fight rum effectively must adapt their methods to exigency of each special case. Aim at the extinction of the traffic, but lose no opportunity to tighten the grip of restraint upon 1t. We may respect the sincerity of the man who prefers free rum to license; arguing that the latter Is legal recognition of the traffic, but we must be allowed to doubt his clearness of perception. When Connecticut had a prohibition law it was common for advocates of the creation of third party to declare that neither the democrats nor repubi, ko hat ho oaaIIy,nro- tion was based on fact. The law was not re- pealed until the third party was in the field full fledged, had drawn from the temperance element of both parties, and as result we had 30 closely divided a legislature that neith- CT party was really responsible for repeal, while no doubt good temperance men whose votes would have been given in the Legislature for sustaining prohibition, were at home defeated by prohibitionists.
 Is prohibition best for Connecticut? It is, for the majority of towns, isurely, They want it. They have it now. As for the cities, it is uncertain how fair count would result. Hundreds who would gladly see rum abol- ished vote for license, arguing that rum will be sold anyway, and that the public treasury might as we'll get the revenue as to have it sold freely in violation of law. Inmany cities there are enough so thinking to turn the scale and constitute a decided majority of those favorable to suppression-n it will suppress. The man so believing and voting for li- cense surrenders his convictions to the mi nority and goes on record as favorable to rum selling, whan he would claim to be really de- sirous of it's suppression. There may be enough such to turn the scale in Connecticut we believe there are, and that if prohibition is defeated next October it will be by the votes of men who assume to be haters of the traffic, and the result will thus be prac- tically victory for the minority.

 FINE CLOTHING AT POPULAR PRICES.

GOOD TAILORING is the secret of good, stylish suit; without that quality doesn't count for above half it's goodness. But such tailoring isn't common in ready made, because it costs more and stores are afraid of not making them pay enough.
 There's another side to that, though. We have kept merchant tailored ready-made sort long enough to speak with authority about it. Its this. Young and dressy men will support the stores numerously that sells that sort.
 The Hot Weather has set Thinnest Clothing selling quickly. We believe we should sell twice as quick and twice as much if every body knew what we had.

The Boston Pilot is after the mugwumps

The Boston Pilot is after the mugwumps who are attacking Patrick Egan's appoint ment as minister to Chili. It says ''Abra. ham Lincoln made MT. Schurz United States minister to the court of Spain, a post worth good deal more every way than that which has been given to Mr. Egan. Carl Schurz in 1860 was felon in the eyes of German law, as Patrick Egan in 1889 is one in the eyes of English law. Both have been guilty of taking prominent part in American politics without wholly forget ting that they could also love the land of their birth" All of which has some strong bearing on the case.

The spending of the money contributed for the relief of the sufferers at Johnstown, Pa., seems to be more of task than was it's raising. Governor Beaver, in whose hands the funds are, arranged for their distribution by state officers, and things seemed to be moving along nicely, when the people living in the valley became dis satisfied, and held an indignation meeting, where they asserted that they were better able to divide the funds properly than any state officer could be, and the funds will be put into the hands of local committees for distribution.

Puck: Unoe upon time young wo- man was walking along the street with her smiling 3}-year-old, who, upon observing certain store, said
 "Let's stop in here. My legs ache, and I must have some candy"
 Upon learning this novel remedy for the aches attendant upon walking, the young mother made her boy hurry, and when half block had been covered he had en- tirely forgotten his trouble, and she was 10 cents in pocket on account of the candy she did not purchase.
 The moral of this fable teaches us that if we humor our children by giving them candy every time they ache with weari- ness, they may some day develop inAam- matory rheumatism because they can not get such political plum as fourth. class post office.
