HIGH LICENSE 4 FAILUEE.

A Pittsburg dispatch to The Associ-
ated Press dated July 10Th says:
An extensive raid made by the
police tonight on ;'speak easics" or I'M
licensed saloons. Fifteen places were
laided ant! nearly Il hundred men and
women who were in the places were
arrested.
Pennsylvania has Il high licenses law
which is said to be the strongest ewes
enacted, yet it does not seem to restrict
to any alarming degree in Pittsbulg.
According to the logic OF the Sioux Falls
Press, there must be a strong sentiment
in that city against the enforcement OF
such IL law, therefore the law ought to
be replaced by one that can be enforced.
In other words, the saloon should be
allowed to control its " legislation,
and if high license docs not SUIT it, give
it low license, DO not these repeated
violations Of all liquor laws sustain the
position The Republican has always
taken that the saloon business is mher-
emily ii law breaking pursuit, and that
the fault lies not in the laws themselves,
whether they be proiIibltory OF r~cstlic-
five in a greater or less degree, but in
the disregard FOR al! law that the bust
ness engandci3?. And is not this fact
sufficiently patent to warrant all law
abiding citizens l II standing firmly be-
hind the laws now OF the statue books
until !, fair opportunity has been given
to test Their effectiveness.

prominent statesmen, fight shy Of such
issues. They would lot moral questions
alone.
The fourth plank Is good one. The
shameless manner in which pubic officials
display the free railroad passes which their
official positions enable them silently to de-
msnd for themselves-and often for mem
bers OF their families-indicates condition
of things that needs reformation OF suppress
sion. n our lawmakers VIII not correct
this evil tho voters will. II would be bet
ter for the State and better for the rail-
road companies for the Legislature to APP
nropriate money to pay all the travelling
expenses of her public servants. Perhaps
a still better plan would be for law to DO
enacted requiring all railroad companies TO
Mas free al the officials who would other
wise secure free passes from those compa-
mics. !.
The fifth plank "a an old feature OF
greenbackism revived. We do not know
that fifty dollars per capita is too mucn
currency. and 80 we should not object TO
trying the experiment whenever 1t became
necessary thus TO increase the vol
ume of the circulating medium OF
the country; but we know fuil
well that TO put two millions OF currency
into the hands or pockets Of the rich man
who now has one million will not add one
farthlng to the amount in the hands OF
pockets of the labormg man. On the
contrary, redundant currency means q
decrease in the purchasing power OF the
latter's wages. We tried in the Confeder-
ate States a circulating medium (such as
il yas) of much more than fifty dollars per
capita. and learned by experience how to

So much for the remedies for hard times

Ohio. We sympathize with all men cir
cumstanced as they are; but we must

THE people in a State of Unrest.

The platform of the State Farmers
Union of Ohio. as published Thursday, is
another straw showing how the popular
wind blows. This platform Is piece OF
patchwork, though the body which made
II claimed to represent and speak for the
several farmers organizations OF the great
State of Ohio. It indicates that the masses
are in search of a remedy for hard times,
but have not much hope OF success.
There is no hand pointing out the direc-
ton in which they should travel
The first plank of the new Ohio platform
is specimen of that sort of generalization
which would-be reformers are so fond ofin-
dulging in-namely, high-sounding plati-
tudes to which anybody and everybody
might give word of appreciation. That
plank calls for an equal and fair distribution
Of taxation on oil forms of wealth. the wealth
to be assessed lat actual value, less indebt-
edness." AS general, however, as this de-
claration seems to be, and as well calcu-
lated as il is to be universally accepted as
containing sound doctrine, IL Is a'dec)ara-
ton which thousands Of reformers will
antaeonize. HENRY GEoRoE's followers do
not belieyein taxing "all formsof wealth"
On the contrary they hold that nothing
should be taxed except land; that the most
palatial residences and business-houses
should not be touched by the hand Of the
tax-assessor, because these are the pro-
duct of labor; that for the same reason
gold, silver, bonds, and all other personal
property should be exempt from taxation.
Nor will this plank prove acceptable to
such of the advocates Of o graduated IN
come-tax as ere in favor Of paying all the
expenses OF Government out of the pro-
ceeds Of that tax. II is worthy OF note that
this plank declares In favor Of allowing
debtors to subtract the amount of their
debts from the assessed value OF their tax
able property.
The second and third planks OF the
Ohio farmers platform are such as are not
ordinarily found in tho platforms OF great
parties. We do not know why Ohio should
enter the school-book business, as the Sc
cond plank calls upon her 10 do. Nor do

In Its glory of grace and perfume,
For blending and lending
It's namo and Its fame
TO glamor the shame
OF Plantagenet's carnage and gloom.
With bending bud and trembling bush
With heightened 1ush and deepened blush,
In wounded pride the Flower replied;
ReprOAch the Cross on which he died,
For greater sin hath never been
Mans guilt or shame than In His name
Hath far and wide been multiplied.

For man and for woman In every condition
Sweet doors fing on the breeze.
For rich and for poor, for young and for old

With gorgeous hues my leaves effuse;
And when unrolled in them unfold
Visions Of beauty and reveal
In each new bud fresh appeal
