Liquor IIiccnscs Abused.

Public sentiment seems at last to have
become aroused on tho subject Of licens.
ing saloons whose bad records in tho
past can promise nothing but evil for
the future. Tho applications for H.
censcs wcrc referred to tho committee
on petitions and rcmonstranccs, which
examined hastily into tho merits OF APP
pliCants, and recommended that six bc
rejected. OF, these, two were licensed
in spite OF tho committees recommend.
alton. and tho other four cases were
sent back to the committee. This action
is characteristic OF this council. Tho
committee looked into tho matter and
madc its recommendation, and to send
tho cascs back is virtually TO say to tho
committee that perhaps it did not
mean what il said.
There is not n fair minded citizen in
Wheeling who would not approve the
refusal OF licenses to resorts for lewd
women, rendezvous OF thieves or dives
whore young girls arc ruined. AS to
ono OF the four not licensed, thorc was
public evidence in q criminal trial re.
Gently that n young girl was taken there,
made drunk and ruined. There was
credible testimony that this and other
saloons wero disgracefully conducted.
The committees report was too liberal.
Instead OF rejecting four, Council should
have rejected o score. Persistent law
breakers, keepers OF disordcrly houses,
men Of whose saloons lewd women and
base men arc tho regular patrons, wcre
licensed to continue their dives for IN.
other year. Yet that ull were not re-
fused is not a good q reason to refuse
none. Tho few which were disapprovod
by SO liberal a committee must emf.
nently deserve thnt condemnation.
The saloon keepers themselves should
unite to demand the rejection of appli.
cations for licenses to keep dives. One
bad place creates prejudice against all
houses, and the public will some day
arouse and assert its views in a way that
will be, effective. There has been too
much trifling already. Patience, even
excessive patience, does not indicate
Indifference. This is afgood time to
take oven q short step on the right
road.

BREAKFAST. BUDGET.

Tho work OF photographing the stars,
recently begun at the Cape of Good
Hope, can not be completed for several
years. The reason appears in the fact
that the space covered by one instru-
ment is so very small. For instance the
first negative taken for the Photographic
man OF the heavens covered q sidereal
field less than onc-fourth OF the appar-
ent diameter OF tho moon. Yet upon
that n negative $1,000 distinct stars
made an impression showing that mil.
lions OF stars invisible 10 the eye can be
canght on a photograph plate.
Massachusetts, like Ohio, pays its
governor $1,000 a year. The only states
that have larger salaries for their gov
ernors are New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania, which give their chief
executives $4,000 annually. The sala-
~ OF $4,000 prevails in California and
Illinois. Seven states have salaries at
$1,000; four states pay rs little as $1,000,
viz, Delaware, Maine, Michigan and
New Hampshire; and two states, Ore
gon and Vermont, pay annually to each
OF their governors the muniicent sum
ofSl,50O.
1t is we'll known that the United
States is fast crowding Switzerland out
Of the watch market, and there is no
part Of the world, no matter how re-
mote, where the tick Of the American
watch can not be heard. To-day Amer
lean factories turn out $4,000 watches a
week. Almost the only %timepieces i'm
ported are r%epeaters, stop-watches and
those having special movements which
bring a high price. , ser
japanese auctions are conducted upon
n plan which gives rise to none OF the
noise and confusion which attend such
such sales in Britain. Each bidder
writes his name and bid upon a slip OF
paper, which he places in a box. When
the bidding is over the box is opened
by the auctioneer and the goods de-
clared the property OF the highest
bidder.
The coolest region in tho United
States lies along the northern border OF
Minnesota, between the southern point
Of the Lake of Woods and the Dakota
border. The temperature along that
line often falls as low as so below zero.

Is 1t n Democratic Lie ?

Elsewhere in a Washington letter will
be found an address issued to Southern
Proteetionists by Col. H. C. Parsons,
president OF the Henry Clay Club. The
address explains the purpose and plan
OF the movement to organize local Hen
RI Clay Clubs throughout tho country,
and particularly in the Southern states,
for tho protection OF American mar
kets and the elevation Of American
men,"
We commend they letter rs worth the
thoughtful consideration OF every Pro-
tectionist. it clearly shows the ncccssi-
ty Tor the movement it inaugurates and
points out what is to be gained. The
work OF the club is educational and is
designed to overcome the prejudice and
%sectionalism which has SO long hold the
solid south together and caused it to
vote solidly against an economic princi-
pie on which rests her present and fu-
ture commercial prosperity.
OF late Protection sentiment has
grown rapidly in theSouth among DEM
ocrats, for they are daily witnessing the
demonstration OF tho fact that if the
tariff is a local issue at all, it concerns
tho South moro than any other one Sec
ton. But owing to sectional and social
prejudice this sentiment has been held
back. Sectional issues are made to over
shadow tho Protection sentiment and
the result is that tho South at every
election is made to cast the vote eolidly
against the very thing that her people
know they W their prosperity to. 1t
is to overcome these obstacles and to
ireo the minds OF the young men of the
South through IN educational campaign
that is the object Of the Henry Clay
movement.

PARIS ANARCHISTS

1erroriznd tho Judge and J~ury-People
Dlsgustod' With tho Ravachol Verdict.
PARIS, April 27.-Whcn tho jury in
the case Of the anarchists who.were on
trial in tho Seine Assize court returned
at three o'clock this morning and rem
dered a verdict OF guilty with extenuat-
ing circumstances against Ravachol and
Simon, theae-two persons did not in any
way show that they had expected any
thing different.
After Judge Cues had sentenced them
to penal servitude for life they shouted
'vive l'anarchic," "vivo Ia revolution,
sociale."
The verdict occasioned much sur.
prise, but it is the general concensus OF
opinion that the e%xtcnuating circum-
stances part OF the verdict was due en-
tirely to the fear of the jurors that il
prisoners were condemned to death that
they would fall victims 10 the anarchist
vengeance.
The Journal Desbdts commenting on
the result Of the trial, says to-day That
it is to be regretted thatthe jury, failed
to perform their duty in the same no.
BILE manner that the officials performed
theira.
The public generally condemn the
verdict No one doubts that the jury
was tcrrorized and the result regarded
as a triumph for the dynamiters.
The fearless conduct Of NJ. Beaupaire,
the public prosecutor, is warmly com
mended.
The conciliatory tone OF Judge Cues,
who presided at 1.-THE trial. and his exces.
sive indulgence OF the anarchists are
severely condemned. 1t is suggested
that the jury took their cue from the
Judge.
A majority Of the people in the cor
ridors Of the Palace OF Justice were first
amazed when they heard OF the verdict
and then many OF them became indig-

excited groups they were greeted with

A Valuable Addition to History,

Gen. T. N. Harris. of Harrisville,
Ritchie county, this state, was a mem
Der Of the military commission that
tried the conspirators who were charged
with the plot to assassinate President
Lincoln. and is about to publish a book
which is entitled: "The Assassination
OF Lincoln; a History Of the Great
Conspiracy and Trial Of the Con-
spirators by a Military Commission,
and a Review OF the Trial Of John II.
Surratt." It is said that when the
book a~ppeaes-itw will create something
OF o sensation, since General Harris
possesses much information concerning
the conspiracy and the trial never be-
fore given to tho public, and will pub
lish it, together with indisputable proof
Of its truthfu1ness. S.
From a review Of the manuscript
which appears in the Richie Ga.eue,
We learn that General Harris clearly
su%bstantiates his belief that there was a
great conspiracy To assossinoto lincoln
and other prominent members OF the
administration, and that the principals
in the plot were not alone the crqzed
woman, her p%roiligatc son, n country
doctor and a few other unimportant
people. 1t is stated by the reviewer
that the author presents irrefutable
evidence that Thompson, Tucker and the
rest Of the Canada cabinet" were in
the conspiracy, and that Jefferson Davis
had knowledge Of it.

which l incurred when Mexican was at 80
cents am I now expected to pay in Danish
money? Certainly not. The fairest way,
doubtless would be to pay it at the same 90
cents to the dollar. There will be many such
debts, however, paid off with Mexican money
at Sc cents to the dollar. The merchant will lose
in that case IA cents on every nominal dollar;
but if he g~rumbles he is open to be asked the
rather awkward question, whether IN case the
Mexican dollar had gone up to "a cents, ne
would have been willing to return a cents on
each to his customer. AS we have said before,
a short time will solve all difficulties and
trade will run on as smoothly as before. A
much more serious matter for St. Thomas is
the loss of work likely to arise from the re-
duction in traffic made by the prevalence OF
cholera in Europe and the consequent guar
antine restrictions in the ports of the West
