Mayor Schieren announced yesterday that
he woult appoint several women as members

but that he could not make such appointm ents
this year because he had selected fifteen m sn
to fill the vacancies which will occur on July
] before he received the petition OF the women
to have their sex represented. He said:

arise there which a woman seems to have q

That is doubtless true. The humbug
which would try to shave down the num-
ber Of people who now stand to be taxed on
their incomes SO that they would be 30 few
that their protests couldn't be heard. would
leave the obnoxious socialism OF the income
tax principle az bare and for Democrats as
indefensible as ever. Senator Hill is no
sneaking compromiser on question 80
fundamental.
In his speech upon this topic before the
Senate Mr.. HILL pointed out the true Demo-
cratic course in way equivalent to dec
laration that he would never leave it:
Against such ssehsms-unnseessary. iLtimsd. and
misehisvous-suddsniy sprung upon the country In

sent any proposal to get revenue for the general
Government BY taxing incomes Their dissent 10

In speaking primarily for the State OF
New York. Senator HILL spoke In fact for
the National Democratic party. There can
be no compromise on the income tax.

The Two State Committees.

The Republican State Committee will
meet in August. 1t will be called upon to pass
formally on the rival claims set up by the
two Republican organizations In this city.
Both are applicants for recognition by the
State Convention. and both claim the power
TO name the six thousand or more Republi-
can election officers provided for by the late
Legislature when 1t restored the equal d.

The Democratic State Committee also will
meet in August. 1t will not be embarrassed
by any such controversy for recognition. for
there is no contest about the Democratic
election officers In New York.
From present indications there will be no
serious contest for seats in this years Demo-
cratic Convention. The rule established by
Democratic party usage is that those cleo
tors who voted the Democratic ticket ut the
preceding election. are entitled to particl-
pate. through the delegates they select. at
the ensuing Convention. Had the question
been raised a year ago. there were undoubt-

There is no lack OF information respect
ing the Gothenburg method OF dealing with
the liquor question. 80 far as regards its
workings in the city from which the system
takes its name and elsewhere throughout
Sweden. The mode and the effect OF its
operation In Norway are less known. and
for that reason much interest attaches to
some facts and statistics presented In the
last number OF the Contemporary RevietO.
1t is. OF course. understood that the So
called Gothenburg system has been modi-
fed to suit local conditions in the several
countries. Norway. Finland. and Switzer-
land. by which 1t has been adopted. In
Norway licenses for the sale OF spirits are
granted for five years, the licensing author
ity being an elective communal body au-
thorized to prohibit restrict or regulate
the liquor trafilc in any way coniormabls to
the wish OF the commune. The quinquen-
NAL licenses are issued to voluntary COM
panies or private corporations. all of whose
members must be local residents. The
shareholders are entitled TO the moderate
dividend which the State pays on its bonds.
and reserve fund may be accumulated suf-
ficient to redeem the shares at par on the
termination OF the five year period. The
shareholders have no further interest In the
earnings of the companies. all additional
profits being appropriated to charitable or
educational objects within the locality.
Any local philanthropic institution may ap-
ply for share Of the extra profits. which.
however. cannot In Norway be applied to
relieve the ratepayers from any statutory
burden. this precaution being taken to
avoid enlistinG public opinion in favor Of
developing the liquor business.
The companies TO which the licenses are
issued bind themselves to supply unadul-
terated liquor in quantities so limited that
the maximum sum q customer can spend
at one visit is five cents. No credit is
given. No lettering. gambling. or trading.
no rowdysm or coarse language is toll
Grated in public house. No women are
employed In the drinking places. and no
children are allowed to enter them on any
pretext. Only sober persons are supplied
with liquor; those who are notoriously in
temperate have a particular house assigned
20 them. and are served at no other All
these regulations are enforced by the man
ayers OF the public houses. who are nomi-
mated by the directors OF the licensed COM
panies, approved by the local magistrates,
and invested with the authority and re-
sponsihility Of policemen in the places un-
der their control. OF course. these mana
gers are not allowed TO have any pecuniary
interest in their sales: they are picked men
who receive liberal fixed salaries.
What has been the effect OF the applica-
tiOn Of this system 10 Norway 1t has
brought about. between 1871 and 1890 re-
ductiOn of 80 per cent. in the consumption Of
spirits per head Of the population. 1t has. in
deed. been cOntended that. while the Norwe-
Rians now drink less spirits they drink more
beer. the sale OF which has not yet been

70 beer; but, according 10 the Contemporary
Review. The statistics on this subject are
misleading. for while in England arrests
are made for being drunk and disorderly."
in Norway the mere fact Of being in a
visible state Of intoxlcation In public
place renders one liable to arrest and fine.
Indeed, 10 such an extent has the public
conscience been educated that not long ago
nn arrest was upheld on appeal In case
where man had been drunk on his own
premises. but visible from the street. There
is, It seems, another Misrepresentation cur
rent regarding the state Of things In Nor
way. attributable to the different principles
on which statistics are compiled. Pauper-
ism has been alleged TO be twice as great in
Norway as in England. while, as a matter
OF fact. it is only half as extensive. and
much less intense In character. The ex-
penditure for poor relief per head Of popu-
lation In Norway since the Introduction OF
the Gothenburg system has been just about
one-half Of what IL Is In England.
As to the moral results OF the system the
writer In the Contemporary supplements his
personal observations. made during resi-
dence OF thirty-hve years. with a vast
amount OF evidence obtained from leading
men. Not only have crime and pauperism
been materially lessened, but there has
been signal improvement In the domestic
relations Of the working people and small
tradesmen. The police report that the
system has promoted greatly advanced
ideas In regard to temperance among the
rising generation, and that the number OF
confirmed inebriates has been notably cur
tailed There is. lastly. medical testimony
that there has been great diminution OF
the mental diseases due to excessive con-
sumption OF alcoholic beverages.

Not quite ten years. we believe. have
passed since people began to observe the
14th Of June in honor of the national flag.
The anniversary was at first celebrated
chiefly by school children; and 1t may be
noted that In late years the practice OF
hoisting the Stars and Stripes over school,
houses has been growing in favor. But by
degrees the day has come to be remembered
and honored by others besides children: /:
and this year we find it selected for the
Dobbs Ferry exercises.
It was on June IA. l777. that the Continen-
tai Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes
as the flag Of the country. A committee OF
which JOHN ADAMS was Chairman studied
several designs submitted to 1t and recon-
mended that the flag Of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes. alternate
red and white; that the union be thirteen
stars. white in blue field. representing q
new constellation" result OF this deci-
sion was that for the first two States after
ward admitted to tho union n stripe
was added to the flag. Then. how
ever. It became manifest that, IL this
plan were continued. the stripes on
any properly shaped fiag would In time be-
come too narrow. as States were success
sively added. Besides. whenever tho num-
Der OF States was even. tho lower stripe
would be white. whereas red border at the
bottom as we'll as tho top looks better. Ac-
cordingly. 1t was decreed that the stripes
should be restored to the original thirteen.
and that the stars should show the total
number OF States in the Union. This prac-
tice has remained to the present day.
The display OF the flag on June IA springs
from a sound and patriotic sentiment and
1t will increase from year to year. Three

ticket at the election previous have no valid

gates chosen by the regular organization In

In 1891 the Democratic Convention to
nominate Governor was tumultuous and
inharmonious. while the Republican Con-
vention held for the same purpose was
cordial and enthusiastic. This year the
Republican State Convention in New York
will. from present indications, be discord-
ant gathering. whereas the Democratic
Convention will be ns harmonious and en-
thuslastic as the Buffalo Convention OF 1888
which nominated HILL for Governor.

The Second Attempt to Hoodoo.

There Is a grotesque but not improbable
report from Hawaii that Madam LILIUo-
KALANI has retained a syndicate OF native
magicians. or kahumas. to destroy the new
republic by means OF their occult arts and
mysterious COMPUTATIONS. Her last hopes
are pinned upon this curious enterprise.
or course. IL the kahumas were powerful
enough to bewitch President DOLE and his
colleagues. and TO bedevil and destroy CIV
ilized government in the islands. they would
find no difficulty afterward in conjuring
monarchy back into power. and establishing
LILIUoKALASI again upon her throne.
We hardly think the scheme will succeed.
This interesting lady has already had the
benefit OF a hoodoo much more practical
and efficient than anything the kahumas
can devise. She has had GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. WALTER Q. GRESHAM. JAMES H..
BLoUST. and ALBERT 8. WILLIS. all conjur-
ing for her and against the Provisional Gov
ernment to the best Of their respective
abilities. That hoodoo failed. consplcuously y
and ignominiously. No lesser hoodoo is
likely to do Mrs. DOMISIs any good.
LILIUoKALANI will save money by dis
charging her present band Of kahumas be-
fore their professional bills for services rem
dsred have run up any higher.
