A Woman Who Talks Nonsense.

Miss Kate Field is lecturing in Massachu-
sets against the constitutional prohibitory
amendment and is going at the Prohibition
lists with all the vim that she formerly used
to devote to smashing the Mormons. Indeed.
she seems to be proceeding with more vim
than reason. For instance she lays down
one principle thus:
THE soberest people have found have been
those living in the wine countries of Europe The
people Of Boston, many OF them never think OF
ascending Bunker Hill monument, yet many
come long distances to see it and climb up It's
winding stairs. 1t Is the unattainabe that people
always want II the ocean We're brandy every
Jack Tar on it wOnld drown himself in water as
soon as he got on shore.
That is, the freer rum is, the less likely
people are to want to drink it. Hence the
surest way of promoting temperance must
be to encourage and not discourage the rum
business. To sustain her position Miss
Field, according to the reports of her lee
ture,-
Reviewed prohibition from the origin of the
human family down to the present time, and
showed that people sought what they were for
Dldden TO use. The Puritans prohibited nearly
eVeIy yum, except LIQUORS and wines There was
closed doors drink poisonous compounds, and
drunkenness abounds. In 1886, Neal Dow said
the Maine law had not been enforced In the TWEEN
~ years II had been on the statute books. Crime
is on the increase there while the population has
not been materially augmented"
OF course in her career down the ages from
Adam to General Dow, Miss Field must have
paused at the days of Moses, and though the
reports Of her lecture are mere outlines, we
have no doubt that so logical a woman as
she did not fail to denOunce the folly of
those famous prohibitors known as the Ten
Commandments. Perhaps the Ten Com
mandments account for all the wickedness
In the world; for if the nature of man is to
seek out those things which are denied him.
as Miss Fields logic seems to imply, the
Commandments have for thousands of years
been impelling mankind to the bad. This
would be absurd. Alb surd also is the implied
assertion that prohibit on has caused an in
crease OF crime in Maine. All fair minded
men, whether they are prohibitionists or
not VIII admit that the people of Maine as
whole are more temperate than they were
twenty-five years ago, though they will not
al agree that prohibition has brought. this

Senator Wark's resolution introduced in
to the Domion Senate, was intended to test
the strength of the commercial union senti-
ment Of that body. Il took the form of a
declaration of hostility to discriminating du-
ties on English goods. Mr.. Wiman's scheme
of commercial union involves discrimina-
ton against England and in favor OF the
United States and without that discrimina-
tion his plan falls to the ground. 1t is true
that Canada discriminates to some extent
against England in favor of her home pro-
ducts under the present tariff, but discrimin
alton in favor of her own people is one
thing while discrimination in favor Of anoth-
er people is quite another and different
thing Under commercial union she
would have to discriminate in
favor of another people, namely, the
people Of the United States, and 1t was
with view of testing the feelings Of the
Dominion Senate on that point that Mr..
Wark's resolution was introduced. The
whole number of votes thrown was AZ, and
nearly one quarter was against the resolu-
tions. Considering that the present admin
istration is Conservative, both in the execu-
tive and legislative departments, and that
the Conservatives are bitterly hostile to CON-
commercial union, perhaps the friends of
that policy did as well as they had any rea-
son to expect There must be very sweep
ing change in the character of the Dominion
Parliament, however. before Mr.. Wiman's
plan will be anything more than dream.

Some of the local papers of Maine are
printing advertisements telling farmers,
merchants, mechanics, ETC., how they can get
TO Oklahoma most easily and comfortably.
OF course If there are any men in Maine who
are fools enough to try their fortunes in Ok
lahoma, an enterprising railroad is not to
blamed for advertising for their patronage.
But no man in Maine should believe Okla
homa paradise of free land and future
riches because he can travel to it In vesti-
bule train with all the modern luxuries
There are already in Oklahoma ten "boen-
ers" for every claim; and these men are no
doubt as smart in taking up land as Maine
men, and know the country much better.
There are plenty of desirable farms in Maine
that can be bought for sums within the
means of every industrious man, and in nine
cases out of ten they will be found in the end
cheaper and more comfortable than quar-
ter section grabbed at the point of the rifle
out of the squabble in Oklahoma.

had done it in some other way than by en-
eouraging intemperance, in what way it
would probably puzzle Miss Field to say.
But crime has not increased in Maine we
venture to say. All in all the people of the
State are as law abiding, and much more
temperate than were their fathers; and out of
the abundance of their experience with the
prohibition question, they have no desire to
attempt temperance reform according to
Miss Fields plainly making rum more
accessible instead of less accessible.

Precisely what Gen. Boulanger is being
tried for it seems to be impossible to find
out. The essence of his offence is no doubt
plotting against the Republic. No doubt he
is guilty of that in his mind, so to speak, but
whether he has committed any overt acts
that are reasonable remains to be seen.
His flight to Belgium, however, shows that
the doughty general has not the fullest con-
idence that he can vindicate himself in the
eyes of the French Senate.

One of the adiuncts of the campaign which

The effect OF the Massachusetts prohibi-
tory amendment on the manufacture Of
cider is matter on which the best lawyers
of that State widely disagree. Attorney
General Waterman thinks it will not inter-
fere at all with the manufactured of cider nor
with its sale, except to be drunk as bever-
age. On the other hand Judge E. r. Hoar
William G. Russell and Charles Theodore
Russell are of the opinion that cider is in
cluded in the term Intoxicating liquors."
and that its manufacture and sale would be
illegal.

If men vote as they talk. in Masssachu-
