The Argus points to the steady in
crease in Massachusetts, of commitments
during the last ten years, and to
the gradual movement during that
period of the towns toward pro-
hibition as evidence when taken
together that prohibition has no
tendency to diminish drinking
and drunkenness. This looks plausible
at first glance. But there are two facts
which render the deduction of the Argus
valueless. The prohibition of Massachu-
sets is not general. Adjoining town
that prohibits the sale of liquor may be
another town which licenses the sale.
This kind of prohibition amounts to
nothing or very little in diminishing the
temptation to drink OF the facilities for
getting liquor. Prohibition under such
circumstances does not have a fair trial.
It the second place the table of commit
ments which the Argus gives does not
show from what places the increase in
commitments has, come. Probably a
lery large per cent of this increase comes
rom the large cities, like Boston, which
almost without exception, have the
license system. Far more significant
than these figures of the increase of
drunkenness, is the fact which we point
ed out and which the Argus admits,
namely that each year more of the
people of Massachusetts, are coming to
favor prohibition, and that too, after
having tried license. That fact, the
Argus must see, instead of supporting
it's assertion that experience has shown
that license is superior to prohibition,
tends directly to its subversion.

Mr.. Breckinridge's motion to amend
the rules so that general tariff bill can
be tackled on to an appropriation bill as
rider is pretty conclusive evidence that
Mr.. Springer's plan of combining tariff
legislation to few separate bills for the
reduction of the duty on certain articles
like wool and salt, is not going to be &C
ceptable to all his brethren. 1t also has
a tendency to show that the kickers
against that programme are the old time
leaders whom Speaker Crisp so gingerly
ignored in the make up of the commit
tees. Perhaps they may be animated
quite as much by jealousy of the new
men who have been promoted over them
as by loyalty to the cause of tariff reform,
but that will by no means tend to make
their kicking less vigorous.

AMONG THE BANKS.
Heavy Deposits Were Made Tuesday anu
Weduesday.

Heavy Deposits Were Made Tuesday anu
Weducsday.
The story of brisk Christmas trade
and lively holiday business generally
can be most truly and appropriately told
by tho bank books Of tdo city merchants.
The deposits in the three National
Banks of Roanoke were remarkably
heavy Tuesday ana Wednesday, and,
Saken rs whole. were much larger
than the deposits after tho holidays of
last year, and about twice as largo as
the deposits Of ordinary days.
At the First National Bank the indi
vidual'deposits for Tuesday were $50, 900
and Wednesday $4,000 This IS much
heavier than tke.averago daily deposits.
On Saturday the banks experienced
almost famine in small change, but on
Tuesday received nearly SO, 000 in silver
from tho merchants.
At the Commercial tho deposits on
Tuesday were S2s, ZOO, which is about
$4,000 more than the average deposits.
President Coon stated to TIMES re-
porter that his books show an increase
Of $4,000 over this period of last year.
On Saturday change YVES so scarce
that the president started out to hunt
some, but went to twelve places and
only found $50 in silver. Business was
livelier with the bank than ever before
in it's history.
AT the National Exchange tho de-
posits for Tuesday and Wednesday were
exceedingly heavy.
The de oosits at the Fidelity Loan and
Trust Company were about SIS, 900 more
than the average daily receipts.
G. r. Evans, cashier of the Roanoke
Savings Bank, said to TIMES reporters:
Last week our great trouble was to
make the proper change for people,
The merchants all kept the change to
use themselves during the busy days.
Our deposits were very light and the
amount drawn was very large. In fact,
funds were lower than they ever were
with us. This week so far our Gus
toners have been making large de-
posits.'
c. Markley, of the Traders Loan,
Trust and Sale Deposit Company, said:
"We do not do much OF 8 deposit bust
ness, but never saw such dem and for
change in my life as there was last week.
All the banks were short of it. The
merchants held all their change and
consequently we had very little OF it.
Our deposit business has increased
largely within the past two days, and in
two more 1 am satisfied there will be an
excess deposited to the amount drawn
last week."
