Commentary on Commissions
Douglass Proposed New Law.

A Commentary on Commissioners
Douglass Proposed New Law.
Editor Critic: The bill drafted by
Commissioner Douglass within the past
few weeks, regulating the sale of liquor
in the District, has some commendable
features, but one or two ofits provisions
are so unjust as to need revision.
In the first place the cost of license is
entirely too high for az city like this,
without commercial or manufacturing
interests. Three hundred dollars would
be sufficient TO increase the revenue of
the District and at the same time eXpel
from the trade Objectionable characters,
without working au injustice to those
who engage in the business for legiti-
mate purposes, and against whom there
are no police complaints,
In the second place, the trouble in Sc,
curing the required signatures under the
existing law is very great to many Of the
most respectable restaurant keepers,
who are annually compelled to send
their applications to far. off cities in the
East and West, and not infrequently tc
Europe, to have the names appended OF
absentee property owners, and thi;
trouble should not be increased by com
pelling them to obtain two thirds ma
jority, and to have their applications
filed and the money deposited by the Isl
of October
Limiting the number to 400 saloons is
also unjust, as it savors of class legls,
lation. Suppose that 500 applicants
should stand alike as to character, etc.
by what means could their claims be
decided by the Commissioners?
The Commissioners seem to bt
guided in the matter of the proposed
legislation by moral considerations. L
will nevertheless be observed that they
are careful to preserve the revenue
nay, more, to increase it 240 per cent.
The tastes and habits of the people al
large cannot be regulated either by Con
gressional laws or arbitrary Commis
sioners' rules. Prohibition Is the only
true solution of the liquor problem
Prohibit the manufacture and the con
sumption will cease If liquor Is per
mitted TO be sold the demand will b,
supplied, no matter how few saloon
may be in existence, Reducing th
number as proposed would only hay
the effect Of monopolizing the trade

gance and independence would outd

..oRIGINAL PACKAGES.

Iowa's prohibition law has been de-
clared unconstitutional, so far as it af-
feets the importation and sale of liquors
in Original packages, by the Supreme
Court of the United States.
The decision has created something
very much like CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the Republican Congressman
from the prohibition States. They are,
according to interviews with them, both
angry and frightened. They are cast
ing about for way out of what may be
very dangerous situation for them.
Their interviews make amusing reading.
Some of them want Congress to pass
law, forbidding the shipping of
liquors into States where their sale is
prohibited by local law. They don't
say how that would affect the shipment
Of liquors through prohibition State
into a non prohibition State.
Others think the Republican party
ought to take up prohibition and make
II National issue. No more miserable
fate could befall it. The party thai
does that would be beaten worse thar
the Whig party was in 1859, and woult
die even more quickly.

One is Favorable to the Richmond
and Dansille Road.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day decided the complaint of j, B.
Pankey against the Richmond and Dan
vile Railroad Company and others, in
volving alleged overcharge on freight,
denying complaint of complainant, but
deciding that the International and
Great Northern Railroad should refund
to complainant amount of cvefcharge
caused by failure of its agent at Troupe,
Texas, to way.bill the freight by the
route directed by complainant.
Also the case of Charles Elvey against
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
denying claim of complainant for al.
legged unjust charge in shipment of
freight, and ordering the company to
cease and desist from longer operating
its special emigrant freight tariff, on the
ground that it is in violation of the act
to regulate commerce. The opinion il
each case is by Commissioner Bragg.

This morning another and larger
delegation than that of yesterday OF
Grand Army men had an interview
with the District Commissioners In
reference TO the cases of the police ser
geants and patrolmen who were relieved
from duty on specific charges preferred
against them.
One of the delegation said TO CRITIC
reporter: What we want is, more es-
specially in regard to the.sergeants, that
II they cannot be reinstated they may
be reduced to the ranks and fined. We
want, if possible, TO have their punish
ment modified in some way"
The interview lasted for over an hour.

Of their comrades with much earnest
ness, but with what result remains to be
seen.

testimony and at present their decision

IN A GARDEN.

Before ! made my garden, oh, was ahappy
man;
] read the seed-store catalogues and JOY
fully would plan
How lots of luscious vegetables | easily
could raise,
And figured up the profits that they say
garden pays.
OF patent fertilizers, fancy garden tools and
seeds
bought about as many as Western farmer
needs,
hired men that wouldn't work, and rising
with the laik,
] dug till time for business aud finished in
the dark.
After made my garden, oh, | was woful
man.
The chickens scratched my pretty beds, the
dogs across them ran;
The cats fought battles on them, the cows
ate all the corn,
And a hog that tried TO bite me always
rooted there at morn.
Then came a drought that burned to dust
my garden then flood
And peliing bail and hurricane turned every
thing to mud.
Then, like the plaques of Egypt, swarmed
upon me flies and bugs
Inch worms, moles, cut worms, locusts,
caterpillars, crows and slugs.
All summer long | wrestled, while my per-
spiration drops
think would hll the barrels had ready for
my crops;
And though / wasn't able to supply one
dinners needs,
] took the prize Of champion for raising
famous weeds.
Before ] made my garden, oh, was happy
man;
But afterward my troubles and experiences
began.
Now, il some city greenh0m like myself
would care to reap
The profits Of garden, ! will sell out very
cheap.

OF the Vast Size of America-Th Lon
don "Herald'sn Bad Grammar.
Eugene Fleld in the ChtcdgO Herald.
The average Englishman seems to
tally incompetent to comprehen the
vastness of the American domain. You
say you are from America, aud some
body asks you whether you know his
cousin who lives in Canada. The wife
of member of Parliament asked me in
all seriousness whether Chicago wasn't
connected with New York by a wonder
full bridge.
remember that when ! was in Nice
a number of years ago my instructor in
French, a venerable able, asked me
whether my home, st. Louis, was near
the Amazon.
The most ludicrous geographical
blundeTs, however, are those committed
almost daily by the London edition of
the New York Herald. a. Naturally,
'twould be expected that this paper
would be accurate in its treatment of
affairs in the United States, but, on the
contrary, it is the most inaccurate of the
London prints. TIE other papers sneer
at 1t and revile it as type of loose
American journalism, but these criti-
cisms are by no means fair, for the staff
of the London edition of the Herald is
composed wholly of native Englishmen.
Aside from inaccuracies in statement of
fact, the Herald is perhaps the worst
written paper in London; Its English is
something awful. There is one crea-
ture q do rot know his name) connected
with the paper who seems to take a
special delight in ringing in TIE
wretched barbarisms, "try and do
"try and get, 'try and be-" etc., etc.
These barbarisms are too frequently met
with in literature this side of the Allan
tic. In fact, hardly know where to
turn TO find among contemporaneous
writers pure English style. Yet oui
talented young New York novelist
Sidney Luska, says that he has come tc
London for the purpose of learning how
10 write English!

A Remarkable Answer.

The study of physiology in common
schools has its undoubted advantages,
but some of the answers on examination
days, when teachers and pupils are alike
anxious, throw lurid light on the path
of science. Johnny, member of a
school with which | am familiar, had
replied with courage and some accuracy
to inquiries about various portions Of
the human frame. At last the ever
hopeful teacher propounded this appar-
emily innocent question: "How long is
the esophagus, Johnny" With no hest
tation, and with a measuring glance of
the eye, Johnny answered loudly,
"TwentY eight feet"
