CoNCERNING LOCAL OPTION.

The Argus believes that if under local option
majority of the votors OF Portland, no matter
how small that majority should vote for prohi-
bition the law would be as vigorously enforced
as it is possible to enforce any sumptuary law.
Argus.
This is hardly responsive to our ques-
ton. What the PRESS wants to know is
why the Argus is SO certain that pro-
hibitory law would be enforced in Port
land if a majority of the voters declared in
favor of it. The reason most commonly
given for the non-enforcement of prohib-
itory laws is lack of public sentiment
them, and it is a true reason. But many
of the people who allege this reason at
the same time profess to believe that by
local option this difficulty would be re-
moved. If the voters of Portland should
declare for prohibition by bare MAJ
jority of one, says the Argus, public SEN
timent would enforce it. Why? Sup
posing 3001 of the voters of Portland
should declare in favor of prohibition
and 5000 against it-making majority
of one in favor-why is the Argus so sure
that public sentiment would enforce the
law? It has been alleged for years that
there was not a sufficient preponderance
of public sentiment in Portland in favor
of the law to secure it's continual en-
forcement. Now if it should be demon
strated by an election that the number
of people in Portland who approved the
la v exceeded by one the number of peo-
pie who opposed it, would a sufficient
preponderance be shown to secure the
vigorous enforcement of the law? Would
the opposition Immediately collapse and
proclaim their readiness to submit to the
enforcement of the law or would they
keep right on scheming to defeat it's en-
forcement? Isn't it altogether probable
that if an election under a local option
law showed very small majority in fav
OF of prohibition that the opposition
would be more active than ever, because
of the fact that the election had dem
onstrated that there were about as many
people who did not want the law en-
forced as people who did?

The introduction into the House of a
resolution demanding the recall of Minis
ter Egan is unjustifable. If Mr.. Egan
has been guilty of conduct deserving of
public rebuke of this sort the fact
should be made to clearly appear before
the rebuke is administered. If the au-
thor of the resolution was animated by a
desire to do Chill favor by relieving her
of minister not agreeable to her govern
ment, then the resolution was piece of
superogation, for Chill can easily make
her wishes known in that respect with
full assurance that they will be respected
Under ordinary circumstances when a
government represents that minister is
not persona gratG his government re-
calls him. If Chill should now ask for
the recall of Mr.. Egan doubtless it would
be accorded promptly. The reason
it was not accorded when she asked it
was because it seemed to be an attempt
on her part to complicate pending
question with another. Even then the

who sailed his vessel into Bridgeport

says he had no American flag and that is
the reason he did not display it. That
appears to be good one. The war is

One cause of the rapid spread of
grippe in England is said to be Lady
Broole's fund for supplying grippe pa
tients with brandy. The brandy proves SO
attractive that whole communities are
said to be shamming grippe to get it.

The question of Boyd's right to the
governorship turned entirely upon the
question whether or not he was a citizen.
AS the Supreme Court has decided that
point in his favor his title to the Office is
established. Boyd was the Democratic
candidate. The only justice who dis
sented from the courts conclusion was
Judge Field, who is one of the three
Democratic justices. Evidently politics
did not enter into the decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court
that Congress has complete supervision
of the mails and the power to exclude
any matter it sees fit puts an end to all
hope of the Louisiana Lottery Company
being able to defeat the legislation of
the last Congress. The decision is tan
tamount to an affirmation of the right
of Congress to punish people who at
tempt to send prohibited matter, and
shows that if the Louisiana lottery
crowd who are under Indictment are
convicted they cannot expect to escape
punishment by an appeal to the Supreme
Court. The decision is a very severe
blow to the lottery company for the use
of the mails is very essential to enable
them to spread their business over the

The Cleveland Democrats continue to
protest against Hills 'ssnap'' convention
but the Hillites go right along with their
preparations and their gathering in of
delegates. The Cleveland people woke
up too late to stop the performance, but
perhaps they may be able to cast dis
credit upon it which now seems to be
their only hope.

The Democratic members of the House
propose to tackle the silver question in
caucus to be held on Friday night, but
the chances appear to be that beyond
much wrangling nothing will be accom-
plished. The silver men openly proclaim
their intention of boiling if the caucus
declares for the postponement of the
coinage question, and of course the east
ern Democrats, or at any rate the men,
bers from the New England states, are
too firmly bound by pledges to their con-
stituents, to agree to bill in favor of free
and unlimited coinage. The caucus will
probably adjourn with the question just
as far from settlement as ever. But the
question will not down. The silver men
are determined to press it on the floor
of the House and they think they have
the number necessary to accomplish
their end. And they are probably right.

Then replace the contents after sweet

ACurious Telephone Line.

A curious telephone has been working
for the last three years between two
private houses in the suburbs of London.
The singular point about the line con-
sists in the use Of an electric light cir
cult for telephone com cations and
electric lightning purposes, either indie
pendently or simultaneously. The in
reference when the two lines are work.
ing is so slight as to be barely notice
able, and a novice would never guess
from the slight rustling heard when the
engine is running that ten or twelve
ampere current was passing along the
line, and that the vocal sounds were be-
ing reproduced by a slight variation
caused by the respective telephone trans
mitters at either end of the line. The
length of the line is comparatively
short, as the houses between which it
runs are only a quarter of a mile apart.
The wires at either end are tapped for
the telephone in the particular room re-
quired by simply connecting short
length of wire from the lead to the
terminal of the telephone

Electric Hat PolIsher.

The electric hat polisher has establish
ed itself as al indispensable compile
menr to the outfit of fashionable hat
ter. He now has his little electric
motor, to the armature shaft of which
is attached clutch. The hat is slipped
over the clutch which grips it firmly
inside, and which is whisked around on
the starting of the motor at the rate Of
1900 revolutions a minute. All the
halter then has to do is TO adjust the
press ure of his polisher. The polishing
is done with strips of plush, silk or
suede leather, according TO the condi-
ton OF the hat when the operation be-
gins. Ironing is rendered unnecessary,
because the heat developed by the fric-
ton against the rapidly moving surface
of the hat answers every purpose that
the heated iron is used to accomplish.
There is not only no time lost in the
heating of irons, but hats of any style
or shape are given gloss and finish

upon new article.

MayonDaiSe Dressing.

Chicken salad Is not so perfect with
out a mayonnaise dressing; neither is
lobster, nor, in fact any of the heavier
salads Tomatoes are delicious when
sliced, after having been on ice some
time, with a mayonnaise, but as a rule
this rich sauce should be reserved for
fish and meat salads. A distinction
should be made between greenleaf
salads and those containing meats; the
former need only oil and acid, while the
latter may have thick, strong, spiced
dressing. There are reasons why so few
amateurs succeed with a mayor naise;
they will not use enough olive oil, or
they pour it too rapidly on the egg.
Arrange, if you can, to have some one
rather drop Indirectly as you stir.
But if you have to do it yourself, sit
down and arrange rest for your arm
and the bottle, in order that you may
drop the fluid steadily and slowly with
the left hand while the right stirs with
regular rotary motion, never ceasing
for moment, and always in the same
direction. The eggs should be fresh
and cold and the yolks freed from every
particle of germ and white. Stir the
egg for minute before beginning to
add the oil. Then begin and continue,
drop at time; after using about
gill put in tiny pinch of salt, a spat of
mustard and few drops of lemon juice
one time, with the left hand, stirring
and without cessation with the right.

King Hum bert's Niece.

jewel caskets by sending on her birth
days splendid presents of diamonds.
Henry Labouchere says that it is pity
that he does not keep her with him at
Rome, she being, through the journals,
the best informed person, save the
Comte de Paris, of what is going on the
world. The number of newspapers she
takes is incredible, and she reads them
with rs much benefit as did the late
Prince Napoleon. Perhaps the King
will see that she is too good card to
throw away, or has seen it already. A
few days ago he put her forward Oh in the

The Indian papers report that some
time since, in the neighborhood of
herd caste, was carrying a young calf
home on his shoulders, when by some
accident it slipped down and broke its
neck. The Brahmins declared him to
be outcast and sentenced him to the
severest form of Hindoo excommunica-
ton for six months. They further told
him that he could not have committed
greater sin than causing the death Of
a COW, but, taking into consideration
that he was an uneducated man, they
had dealt very leniently with him.
During the period of communication
he was ordered to lead a life of
mendicancy and with a rope round his
neck and portion of the calfs tail on
his shoulders he was to perform pill
grimages to different Hindoo shrines.
The members of his family were forbid
