The "great daiIies' and the little
dailies of Baltimore are crazy over
"high license,' and without, appar.
emily, trying to inform themselves,
point to Philadelphia as conclusive
evidence of the virtue of license with
the prefix of "high." All that is
worthy of an iota of praise in Phil.
adelphia is entirely owing to the &C
tioD of three stern prohibition
Judges, and not one particle to high
license. A hundred dollar license
would have similar effect. Why
don't these blind leaders cite Read
ing and dozen other cities in Penn
sylvania, under the same law, all full
of grog shops and drunken arrests?
Why don't they publish the stats
tics of Omaha, Chicago, St. Louis,
Joliet, Kansas City, all under high.

have had much longer trial? As a
temperance remedy high license has
been an utter failure every where it
has been tried on its merits. Thou,

refused by the prohibition Judges
These newspapers know, that are
crying high license in the interest of
the whiskey ring, they are mislead
ing and deceiving the public. They
ought to remember what Lincoln said
of such false heralds: "You can de
ceive all the people sometimes, and
some of the people all the time, but
you can't deceiye all the people all
the time"
1t is very important for the peo.
pie of this county to know what the
candidates for the legislature think
about turning our State over to the
high license orgie. Remember that
high license" means saloon, and
saloon means ''high license" This
is only change of name to cheat
the public.

there not one in that great mass

The Amendment removing the
Prohibition article from the Consti
tuition of Rhode Island, was carried
at the election held on the 2O;h inst.
by a majority of 5000, more than
three-6fths the required majority for
altering an article of the Constitu
ton. The same triple alliance was
arrayed against the measure that
worked for rum in Philadelphia; the
whiskey and beer associations and
the machine organizations of the
democrat and republican parties.

that he will from now out be an open and
aggressive candidate Tor the Democratic
Presidential nomination. When he forced
Tabor and Wempls on the State ticket.

defeated on account OF their connection

that this would prove the complete down

Governor Hills pet nominees ran lO.OOO be-

the State machine so firmly that Cleveland

the Tammany Hall Democrats 10 light his
battle for him.
The only a isappointing feature of the re-
suit to Hill Is the fact that he has not got TO
a point where he can be Independent OF
Tammany. The sweeping victory OF that
section OF Democrats has given IL absolute
control OF this city. and without this city's
support no Democrat can get "A nominati on

"These ere prize fights orter be

laid his paper down on the grocery

The assault of the rum power and some
dissatisfaction because more changes have
not been made in Federal appointments.
were too much for the Republicans in New
York and New Jersey. the result in both
States on Tuesday is attributed mainly To
these causes. The liquor question cut the
greatest figure. Wherever the saloon in
fiuence coull be used il was thrown against
the Republican caudilates. In both New
York and New Jersey Republican egis-
lators have passed laws restricting the
liquor traffic. These statutes have been
defeated by the vetoes OF the Democratic
Governors. THis year III both states the
Republicans were again committed to the
enactment OF reforms in this direction.
The Democrats announced their readiness
10 defeat them. With the issues thus made
up the Republicans of the two States went
into the fight The liquor interests allied
themselves with the Democrats as they
did in ohio and Iowa. In many places the
Republicans seemed Indifferent. and with
this apathy In the ranks the ombination
proved too strong for the working members
OF the party.
The tariff reformers and mugwumps are
trying TO gain miort out OF their allega-
tions that the result shows the effects Of
Cievelands campaign OF education" but
cratic gains were made only where the
liquor interest was strong. and not in those
districts where discussion OF the tariff
would be likely to cut any figure. IL Is
doubtful whether the so-called dissatis-
faction over Federal appointments had
much 10 do with the result. Great hopes
had been built on carrying Brooklyn. A
Cabinet officer. the Surveyor OF the Port Of
New York. and the Pension Commissioner
had been appointed ON Brooklyn. Other
good places had been filed from there. and
IL was hoped that enough gains i'm votes
would result 10 enable the Republicans to
elect their nominee for Mayor There ap-
pears 20 have been no foundation for these
hopes. Mayor Chapin's recollection makes
him the most prominent candidate for the
nomination for Governor on the Democratic
ticket Outside OF the immediate con-
firmation OF the Democrats in their present
Offices this seems 10 he the most important
result OF the Brooklvn election.
