Prohibition and License.

Advocates of license are continually talk
ing OF the Improvement Of the rumshops and
the quality of rum sold in them that would
come about under their system. Much of
what they say is correct. and If the true end
Of legislation in relation to the liquor traffic
were simply the diminrtion of the number of
rum shops and the making of those that are
allowed to exist comparatively respectable,
then we should advocate the adoption of
the license system.
But II the chief aim of liquor
legislation ought to be the restriction
OF the drink habit. then pro-
hibitory legislation is to be preferred. even
though 1t should not diminish the number
OF places where liquor can be obtained. he
cause prohibitory legislation, by putting the
sale of liquor under the ban, If it does
nothing else, does drive it to seek conceal
ment, and in its quest for concealment it
necessarily seeks unattractiye places. The
advocates OF license admit this, for they are
continually telling US, that one result of pro-
hibition IL to create low and unattractive rum
shops, kept by low men and supplied with
poor liquor; into which men have to sneak
to get drink. From the standpoint of the
restriction OF the drink habit these things
which they allege as some of the weak points
of prohibition are really some of its merits.
The less respectable rumselling is made, the
more dirty and unattractive the saloons, the
less temptation they offer to those who are
worth saving. II we were making laws
chiefly for the benefit of the old and con-
nrmed topers, then license system perhaps
would be better, for then proprietors of sa-
ioons' would dare to refuse to sell to men of
tnat sort But that is not the class that
should take precedence in temperance legis-
IatloR. Ii 1t Is possible to diminish drinking
oy legislation, 1t is only possible by legislat-
ing In way to remove temptation from
tnose VINO have not become victims OF the
drink habit We can never expect to reform
the confirmed drunkard by legislative enact
ment, nor can we reasonably expect to so
thoroughly deprive him Of the means of graft
tylng MS passion as to compel him to become
asoDer man. But 1t ispossible, we believe, to
considerable extent, by legislation to dim
inish the temptations set before the young.
But legislation that simply diminishes the
number Of shops, like license legislation. is
not sufficient. The attractiveness of the
shops must be diminished also. Half a
dozen palatial saloons, which we shall get
under license law, will do more to corrupt

sne rising generation than hundred of the
nina we have under prohibition. So that if
'ne 'neory OF those who believe that the end
" temperance legislation should be the re-
sHalht OF the drink habit is the true
one, a license law will be very
poor substitute for prohibitory
law, laxly enforced though the latter may
be. Ii on the other hand this theory is not
correct, If the chief end of liquor legislation
should be to diminish the number of rum
shops, make those that are permitted to re-
main attractive, improve the quality of the
rum sold, try to reform the confirmed
drunkards and expose the young to tewpta-
lions, then we should say that license
law was the thing needed.

The Democrats of the House show dis
position to oppose the passage of the bill
designed to confer upon the States the right
TO restrict or prevent the importation of
liquor within their borders. Mr. Cummings,
member from New York city. describes it
as measure in the interest of prohibition
cranks." and a good many others on the
Democratic side. feel the same disgust at
such legislation, though not SO frankly ex-
pressing 1t. One curious feature of their
performance is Its inconsistency. For weeks
now they have been bowling themselves
hoarse against the election bill on the ground
that 1t was an interference with local self
government. And yet here is bill designed
simply to give to the States the control Of a

Democrats s0lidly oppose It,

There is chance after all that the Loui-
siana Lottery Company's charter may not be
renewed. The fatal sickness of one of the
members Of the Senatepreyented the passage
OF the bill over the Governors vets by the
necessary two-thirds majority, and the bill
Is not now law provided bill submitting
constitutional amendment to the people,
which this was. can be vetoed by the Execu-
tive. This is the point at issue now, and
upon the determination of it the future
OF the lottery company depends. The anti
ottery men contend that the bill is one
which requires the signature of the Governor
to make 1t law, while the lottery men
claim that the executive signature is not
necessary. The point will have to be settled
by the courts.

The Argus says that if every rumshop in
this city were closed, there would still be
one place where people could get liquor for
hlegitimate purposes, provided they were
willing to lie. namely. the city agency. The
Argus says this is one of the weak points of
prohibition. Perhaps so. But how will the
establishment Of dozen.or more of legal
lied rumshops under license law where
people can get liquor without the trouble of
lying improve the situations

The Republicans of the Senate might as
well abandon all idea of firing out the Dem

done. Ii the Democratic members make up
their minds to talk the election bill to death
they can do 1t, unless the majority put some
restrictions upon them. The House has
shown that it is possible to prevent fill
clustering. and the Senate has only to follow
its example.

IMPORTANCE OF THE FALL ELECTIONS.
brooklyn Standard Union.1
The Congressional contest this fall will be
second In Importance to the Presidential
election. The Democrats have taken the
most shameful advantages In gerrymander-
Ing. That of which they have been guilty in
OHIO. Tor example, is a close approximation
to criminality, and they will secure in all
probability gain of two or three Congress
men In that State, though the Republicans
carry 1t by large majority. The Demo-
cratic determination is to carry the next
House, and they propose to do it, first, by
gerrymandering; second, by the application
in all Southern districts of the strictest and
most savage measures by which the South is
made solid for Democratic candidates for the
Presidency; third, by assaults upon the
tarlH ana the census and the pensions, and
by ballot-box stuffing and other ballot re-
forms of that nature, and by the utterly un.
scrupulous use of money. The object is to
capture the House, and hold in it veto on
Republican legislation, and a machine to
use in the next Presidential election.

The lottery business is not all one way, the
golden gains in Louisiana and the blanks in
Maine. 1t is true that there is not such a
systematic buying of tickets where the lot
terry is at home in It's native lair as there is
further away, but no less person than ex-
Gov. Yarmouth of the Pelican State realizes
that there is some sale of tickets there. Ac-
cording to the Springfield Union the ex-goy-
ernor is vigorously opposed to the Louisiana
lottery, and wonders why the laws in the
Northern States against lottery ticket selling
are not more vigorously enforced. He says
that In Boston recently man drew prize
OF 100000, and the result was that the lot
terry agent there had such rush for tickets
that he had to form his customers into line
as they do at theater offices, and yet Massa-
chusetts has law against the sale Of lottery
tickets. Maine has a law against the sale of
lottery tickets. too.

But poor Maine, the victim par enainence of

southern trade decay, that sends annually her
children to the West and South, as they graduate
from her schools, because there is no business for
lnem at home and sends her surplus savings TO
build Western railroads and water works and
towns, or invests them in trust companies and
banks whose funds were thus employed, because
her home enterprises have been brought out or
frozen out by great monopolies, had no Tariff Re-
