That fascinating pursuit, canvassing the
passengers on a train or boat for preferences
on a certain question has been applied to
the rum question in this State. A promi-
nent Democratic politician took census Of
the passengers of the Portland and Cape
Elizabeth ferry boat, including six women
and four children, not voters, and a red
horse with a white face. The abe-bodied
veters numbered sixteen, and the result was
nine in favor, seven against license. That
settled 1t in the mind of the distinguished
Democrat. License was bound to 60. 1t
was straw that showed how the wind blew.
Just after the census enumerator had fin
Ished his count and was telling the passen-
gers that license was sure to go, even in the
back towns, five of those who voted for it
said they lived in Massachusetts, and one
other was from the Fort, who might natu-
ally be expected to favsr license. 1t was
suggested to the distinguished Democrat
hat the straw showed the state of things
ven better than he supposed. Out of the
sixteen, seven were against license and six
lived practically out of the State, and were
not, therefore, eligible as voters. Three
legal voters of the State favored it, and they
were all citizens of Portland, not residents of
country town. If this Democrat is going
around in the interests of Candidate Thomr-
son he had better pick his crowd more care
fully next time

The Democratic organs Of this State are

The Democratic organs Of this State are
just now denying with much heat that the
recent Democratic convention passed resc-
luton endorsing license. 1t is difficult to
understand why those Of them that have
been advocating license for some years past
show so much feeling in the matter. unless
it be that they fear that an open avowal of
their purpose to substitute license for prohi-
bition " I'll tend to thwart their programme.
They have been arguing for years thar
license was better remedy for the rumshop
than prohibition, and have been urging 'ne
Democratic party to adopt license as part
OF their creed. They have at last prevailed
upon the party to advocate resubmission
of the prohibitory amendment, but when
this action is interpreted as meaning that
they intend to substitute license for prohibit
ton when the constitutional obstacle is re-
moved, they allege that nobody has right
to put such construction upon their acts.
Well, If they don't mean to substitute license
for prohibition, why do they want the pro-
hibitory amendment re-submIt.ed to the
people2 What is their object? win some
Of them explain?

The country is hardly to be blamed that it
is growing a little impatient with the Senate.
The contrast between its inef1icency and the
thoroughgoing efficiency of the House is a
little too sharp to be pleasing. If the Senate
rules need revision, such revision should not
be delayed. At all events, it should keep
pace with the House. A little more of young
and active blood In the upper branch of Con-
gress would be an improvement.

Louis StrOhm Run Over by
a Street Car.
He is Pushed Under by a
PlayfellOw.
The Surgeons Think There is Little
Chance for His Life.
Matters Being Advertised by the City.
Another Batch of Sewer Ordi-
nances Printed.

Shortly after noon yesterday Louis
Robert Strohm, the eleven-year-old son
of the chief engineer of the fire depart
ment, was run over by street car of
the Secondstreet line and probably ia
tally injured. The boy was returning
home from the Gary-street school with
some of his schoolfellows, and, on reach
ing the corner of Davis and Hewitt
streets, he and another boy named
Charlie Graham began calling each
other names in play. AS they were
thus engaged a street car came along
from the Southern California railroad
depot, unnoticed by Louis Strohm.
When the mules were almost behind
him he was pushed backwards by
Graham, and reeled against the mule
nearest to him. The animal jumped
away and he fell in front of the car. The
driver, S. P. Barbour, attempted to stop the
car, but although he applied the brakes,
the mules, which were frightened,
dragged the vehicle some five feet or
more before they stopped. The child
was pulled from beneath the car as soon
as possible, and it was found that one of
Jne WneelS nau passed. over his lelC
thigh crushing it horribly. He was
carried tenderly to the home of his par
ents on Stanford street, between Third
and Fourth, and Doctors Wise and
Hutchins were summoned, and attended
to the little fellows injuries. Some
doubt was expressed by the surgeons as
to whether the femoral vein had been
severed, and grave fears are entertained
for the unfortunate boys life. as his con-
dition was extremely low and critical at
last reports.
The Graham boy claims that he did
not push his little schoolfellow hard
enough to throw him against the mules,
but that Louis Strohm stumbled back
wards and thus took two or three rapid
steps before he fell. He said they were
only playing and that he did not intend
to push Louis under the car. Louis
Strohm was bright little fellow of II
years, and was favorite with his teach
ers. He also attended the boys class in
the athletic club, where he displayed
considerable agility and aptitude for
gvmnastic exercises.

have no positive information of the
proposed change. NELSON A. MILES.
The word positive" used in the dis
patch, conveyed to Major Bonebrake the
idea that General Miles was aware that
the subject was under discussion, and
had probably been advised of the proba-
bility of the change.
A clerk in the army office said yester-
day: ''The department of war is not
usually influenced by civilians protests
in its movements. If the change is de-
cided upon nothing that can be done
here will affect that decision. When
the headquarters of the department of
the Missouri were moved recently from
Leavenworth to st. Louis, an immense
influence was brought to bear to prevent
the movement. All protests proved un-
availing, and Leavenworth lost the
headquarters. 1t will probably be the
same with Los Angeles"

Court opened on Tuesday last at

ing; Hons. G.. p. Owen and S. r.
Davis assistant judges. Prayer was
made by by Rev. G.. A. Mills. The
roll of jurors was called, and after
instructions from the court adjourn
ment was made till afternoon. The
case Cleveland VS.. Pearl was called,
and the following jurors empaneled: :
Messrs. Lucier, Bryant, Tabor, Da-
vison, Miles, Wylie, Adams, Bren-
nan, Drew, Colby, Goodrich and Rog
ers. Prouty and Farrell appeared for
the plaintiff and Hon. L, H. Thomp-
son for the defendants. The case
was a peculiar one, Involving mixed
issues of law and fact, and is, as
given in evidence, as follows;
The defendants bought of the
plaintiff, S. A. Cleveland of COven-
try, in June, 1888, the latter's wool,
to be delivered at the store Of Geo.
r. Hoyt in Westfield. The defend
ants, through Jed. Pearl, the junior
member of the defendant firm of /.
l.. Pearl & Co. of johnson, testified
that it was stipulated at the time of
the purchase that they would leave
the money with said Hoyt to pay
for said wool; this, how
ever, Cleveland denied, as he did
that there was ever anything in any
