Baltimore's New Count.

Marshal Frey has arranged to begin on Mon
day next a recount Of the population Of Balti-
more. On October z Health Commissioner
Robe wrote letter to Mayor Davidson sug-
costing that an accurate police census be
taken, inasmuoh a. the health department had
calculated the death rate upon Q census of
their own, and that made by the
federal authorities would increase the rate. The
letter was referred to the police board, which
on October 20 informed the mayor that the
suggestion would be complied with as soon az
possible after the election. One policeman,
specially selected for the work, will be given
charge OF one of the election precincts, 1t ID
thought that the census will be completed in
about two weeks. The name, residence and
sex Of each bona fde inhabitant Of the city will
be taken. Ages will not be asked, but the per-
son will be marked AZ an adult or minor.

THE RULE OF FOUR HUNDRED.
An Order Which Has Never Been Re-
sodndad bxu &ha Cosnxxaiaaionass

scfnded by the Commissioners.
There is some question whether the order OF
| the Commissioners made May IA last, provid-
| ing for the reduction Of the number Of liquor
licenses to four hundred, is now in force or not
The text Of the order in question was as follows:
at appearing to the Commissioners that the
| number Of places for the sale of Intoxicating
liquors by retail In the said District of Column
bia should not exceed 400 and said number
having now being very much exceeded, it is
"Ordered that from and after the Isl day OF
June, 1890. no license to sell intoxic ating
! liquors by retail will be granted to any person
! excepting in case Of purchase Of premises
date until the number of said licenses shall be
| reduced to 400"
This order, it is claimed, is still in force and
must be regarded in the work OF disposing Of
| the 700 applications for licenses now before
the Commissioners.
1t was made during the last license year after
the Commissioners had granted about 700
licenses, and some have supposed 1t to apply
only to the license year just closed. Commits
| sioner Hine, it is said, was its author aud Mr..
Douglass approved it Col Robert, it is
! stated, did not vote against it. In
| making their estimates for the next fiscal
! year the Commissioners have calculated on q
revenue Of $60, 600 from liquor licenses, which
means that the limit Of 400 Is 10 he exceeded
Both Mr.. Ross and Col. Robert are under
ton of the number to four hundred, though
| both are In favor Of a reduction Of the number
| OF saloons by the strictes: enforcement Of the
| regulations.
Mr.. Douglass thought today that the opera
| ton Of the regulations would have the effect
| of reducing the number to about 400 without
references to any arbitrary rule. In
considering the applications BY police precincts
Mr.. Douglass has in mind the 400 rule, and
has figured out just the proportion each pre-
cinct should have on the basis of the number
granted last year. After he has reached the
limit In each case Mr.. Douglass will note the
fact on each application considered
| At present. a. there can be no full board
| meeting, the 400 rule remains on the book. The
matter will probably soon be considered by the
Commissioners and perhaps the rule will be
| rescinded or modified
Both Mr.. Douglass and Mr.. Ross express
themselves IN favor Of high license. At $500
| year 400 licenses would bring to the District
| a revenue Of a2O0, 900. In both Of the license
bills prepared by the District Commissioners
| aud introduced in. the House last May there
were sections limiting the number of licenses
! to be issued to four hundred.

I deem it my duty to renew former state

demand from tho service due to the placing on
commission OF ships Of modern type, which

than the old ships, but whose

THAT OBNOXIOUS LAW.

The Republicans of Wisconsin re-
ceived black eye last Tuesday and all
because they sought to maintain the
obnoxious Bennett law. The American
people are not vet prepared for coercion
such as is practised in Ireland by Bloody
Balfour and his band OF government
police, and hence the treatment the
friends of the Bennett law received
when they came up for an endorsement.
1t is not so 1auch a victory for the Cath
olics and Lutherans, as 1t is for liberty.
aud the result will be hailed with de.
light by all friends of fair and Impartial
government. There are many COM
mendable features in the Bennett law,
but the bad ones more than c0unterbal.
ances the good. The results Of Tues
das's election will bear fruit for many
years to come. Big0try NAV at times
gain considerable headway when GOV.
cred up carefully, but when exposed as
it was in Wisconsin, it cannot succeed,
Eliminate the obnoxious sections of the
law and all will be we'll.

The Tribune. Star commenting on
the result Of Tuesdays election IN
Wisconsin. in which the Bennett law
received terrible drubbing, says:
.We can tell these clergymen that the
American people as whole are in no
mood to accept or tolerate priestly
dictation as to how they shall vote; and
the interference of the priests in Mil
waukee yesterday will react to their
disadvantage hereafter. We trust that
the Republicans of Wisconsin, under
the gallant leadership Of Gov. Hoard,
will stand up to the rack and maintain
the fundamental principles Of the Ben
nett law despite the apparent set back
the law has received in the German
city Of Milwaukee" The clergy would
be derelict in their duty if they failed
to admonish their hearers against
countenancing any form Of state gov
eminent that would interfere with their
rights as citizens. The Star hopes the
Wisconsin Republicans ''will stand up
to the rack and defend the law. This
advice IS just as appropriate as if it adj
vised them to stand up to the bar of
prohibition to defend lost cause.
