Average mankind will not find it difficult to
understand why from out an oppressed nation
there should occasionally come human being
who is willing to risk even lie itself if by SO
doing the land may be rid Of tyrant. but it is
far from easy to figure out why anyone not
hOpelessiy insane should scheme to assassinate
William Ewart Gladstone. OF all the noble
characters this century has produced none have
been really greater than he in matters of states
manship and no one has toiled more assiduously
to benefit his fellow men. There are many
people who do not agree with Gladstone on
the vital question now disturbing the United
kingdom throughout its length and breadth,
but outside of jails and lunatic asyiums there
cannot be people who would deliberately alb
breviate tine brief remnant of a noble and USE
ful career.

The effort made by ministers and school OH
cias to reduce the number o. saloons in that frac-
ton OF Washington which Is bounded by
and y streets south and South Capitol and
Four-and-a-haif streets, presents some interest,"
ing questions. The oft-repeated declaration by
temperance speakers that the saloon crime and
poverty go hand In hand, has never had a more
forcible illustration than in the record of the
district described set forth In the petition
presented by the ministers and school teachers
TO the Commissioners. The district, compris-
ing fOrty-four squares. has niuety-one licensed
barroOms, not to mention ''speak-easies' 1t
has population of 1876. Of whom 10 .31s or
IS per cent are colored 1t has one-:wen-
teth Of the entire population of the
city. and one-seventh of all the bar
rooms IN the city 1t Is claimed that
more money was spent in this district during
the winter for the relief of the poor than in any
other, and that more arrests. especially among
colored people, are made this area than IN
any other neighbOrhood of equal size. The
District Commissioners asked to refuse
licenses to liquor sellers IN this territory even
though the people ask for them, it being urged
that the authorities should protect the poor and
uneducated people against themselves BY de-
Ginning to recognize their assent TO licensing sa-
looms. The conditions revealed in the petition
suggest that these forty squares offer field
Tor active missionary and philanthropic work
which would likely avail more in the end than
any arbitrary or exceptional ruling by the su-
t.orities. The Commissioners have Already
needed the appeal to them to the extent of
teciding TO grant 10 licenses TO new
faces in this area 1t is possible that the ooe-
alton of the new law imposing an increased
license fee may result in closing some Of the
saloons The question arises how Ear the Com
i1issioners can go in refusing licenses when
Gil the rules prescribed by law have been COM
pied with. on no other ground than that of the
moral good Of the neighborhood. The state of
affairs in the district named Is different from
that presented by . section in the northern
part Of the city, which has been cleared of
saioous- In the latter case, the appeal to the
authorities came from among the people Of the
district themselves, the character of the popu-
lat-on having changed by the advance OF i'm
provements, and the saloons fell before the
protests Of neighborins residents and because
Of specific complaints.

In accordance with provisions OF the law

caused certain surveys to be made and maps
prepared. The work is of immense importance

iminary to issuing license. the written con-
sent OF the majority Of those living in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of q saloon has been re-
garded by the leaders in Temperance move
ments as . wholesome thing, as it practically
provides local option for each square in the
CITY. When, however, Q neighborhood il in
habited by poor people who may not be in .
position to be independent, or by ignorant or
vicious people, those who according to
the temperance leaders teachings are most
harmed by the saloon, the local option pro-
vision offers little obstruction to the saloon
keeper Congress has made . law providing
for licensing saloons and to that extent sane
tioning the sale of liquor. II the Commission
ers can lawfully decline to grant Licenses where
there is no specific reason alleged, but SIM
ply because of their opinion that the moral
good Of the community requires such action,
they can refuse to grant any licenses at all.
For many men honestly believe that the hcens-
ing of any saloon anywhere Is harmful to the
morals of the community. 1t is not believed
that the Commissioners can introduce absolute
prohibition under the discretion granted by q
licensing act. These observations are made not
with view to discourage any effort to reduce the
number OF saloons in the district referred to,
for such efforts deserve the support Of the COM
munity. but to suggest q mode of treatment
that will be more likely to result in permanent
good. The regulations already provided by
the Commissioners would doubtless furnish
grounds for closing. at any rate, the most OBJ
jectionable of the saloons But the Commits
sioners must have specific testimony as to each
place. If the active workers in the movement
would turn their attention to the saloons
severally. they could do much in the way Of
establishing grounds on which the Commission
ers could act within the lines of the law. The
authorities would undoubtedly Cooperate with
them. Then what would do the greatest good
would be an active campaign on the part of the
good people of the city. the churches and the
temperance organizations, in this and some
other contracted areas within the city limits
which show lack of healthful moral sur
roundlngs well directed and general effort
might do much to redeem this little district from
the vice and poverty and ignorance which sup
port. foster and protect the excessive liquor
selling, and which in turn are intensified by
habitual alcoholic indulgence, and would be
of far more permanent benefit than an arbi-
trary action OF the Commissioners. even if those
officials felt justified i'll going to the extent
that their petitioners might wish them 20 go.

His Life.
PEKING, March 9.-The Board of Gem
sors, through superior Censors Houai Ia
Hou and Soun CHA Mai, have presented
TO the Emperor charges of the most seri-
Gus character against Houng Tchun,
formerly Minister to Russia and Ger
many, and now member of the Tsoungli
Yamen, or Council of Foreign Affairs.
Houng Tchun is accused of treason and
corruption in having renounced the
rights cf the Chinese Empire to portions
OF the Pamir region and transferred the
same to Russia, to the great injury and
the loss of China. The Censors demand
that the punishment of death be inflicted
upon Houng Tchun.
The charges have caused much excite
ment in the Chinese court, Houng Tchun
being man of great influence. and being
under the protection of the surviving
Empress Dowager, Tsou Hsi, commonly
known as the Western Empress, who,
although lately withdrawn from power,
still possesses a most influential voice in
the affairs of the Imperial Government.
Russian aggressions III the Pamir region
have excited great irritation in Peking,
and there is disposition to deal severely
with all who have afforded any pretext
for those aggressions. 1t is said for this
reason Houng Tchun has been marked
out as victim by the Board Of Censors
in order to satisfy the public clamor.
