The years of 1894 will be noted in
the Jail annals of this State for the
mum Der of commitments, that of the
past year, 6,176, being over 1000 great
er than during any year previous to
1898, when the number of commit
ments was 4,9s7. Also in the number
of commitments for drunkenness the
excess over previous years is MOTTO
able. In 1894 2,SOs were sent to Jail
for drunkenness. 100 more than in the
previous year, and there were over 400
more tramps committed than in 1s93.-

sea. The Canadians want bigger
and better canal than the one they
have around Niagra Falls, and such a
canal will always be to the advantage
of the Canadians, for no matter how
complete waterway might exist
through Champlain and the Hudson
it would not relieve the commerce of
the United States from having to pass
through the Canadian canal, which in
time of war would be impossible.
The Chicago and Mississippi route
will be the first ocean outlet from the
lakes completed, and it will be wholly
in the limits of the United States.
When the Mississippi River shall be,
as it can be, properly improved, it will
be made to carry ships of any class,
and it is the true route after all.-Pi-

From the Lakes TO the Sea.

The commerce of the Northern lakes
is already enormous; but, with the
growth and settling up of the country
around that vast system Of inland seas,
that trade must grow to proportions
which would now seem fabulous.
But the only outlet to the sea from
the lakes is through foreign. Canadian
territory. Necessarily there is great
need for another outlet through United
States territory, for the greater part
of that commerce is in the products of
the United States; but, as matters now
stand, no American vessel can get into
or out of the lakes without passing
through Canadian waters.
The completion of the Chicago
canal, from Lake Michigan to the
Mississippi River, will give an outlet
to the sea for vessels of moderate size;
but now the talk is of demand for
a ship channel 20 feet deep to carry
large ships. 1t is now proposed To dig
such channel from Lake Champlain
through to the Hudson River TO New
York.

international Deep Waterways Asso-
citation was held at Toronto. Canada,
to consider the matter of outlets to the

DR.. Parkhurst GOinG Wrong,

The overthrow Of the corrupt police
administration, of New York city was
conceived by Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and
brought about largely through his
genius as an organizer. The man
who enabled him to carry out his pur-
pose was John W. Golf, the shrewd
and untiring lawyer, acting rs the
counsel of the Lexow legislative COM
mittee, but really in the capacity of
prosecutor witaDr. Parkhurst and his
committee of seventy as his clients.
1t was because of Mr.. Goff's able con-
duct of the case that the reform move
ment instituted by DR.. Parkharst
gained sufficient momentum to effect
the triumph of the reform movement
in the November municipal election.
1t is curious then to find, after the
fruits have been gathered, DIR. Park
hurst quarreling with Mr., Golf and
accusing him and the LeXow commit
tee of direlection of duty in not i'm
peaching superintendent Byrnes.
Thus the play comes to a somewhat
ludicrous anti-climax, as the breaking
up of what had all the appearance of
being happy family. DR.. Parkhurst.
in his later course, has rendered him
self liable to the charge of attempting
to satisfy personal grudges against
Superintendent Byrnes, and in this
light he does not appear favorably and
his cause is made to suffer some-
what. Senator Lexow has called DR.
Parkhurst down very sharply by re-
minding him that he neglected his
own duty by not coming before the
committee. as he had been ipvitoa to
do. when Byrnes, was on the stand ex-
pecting to face him, and further re-
minding him that as the committee
had exhausted all the clews given
them by DR.. Parkhurst's society as to
Byrnes' participation in the corrupt
practices of the police, without finding
anything against the superintendent
DR.. Parkhurst should haEe given them
'any additional information he may
have had in his possession. Boss Platt
the Republican leader, has suggested
that Parkhurst's head has been turned
by his success, and that his present at
titude is foolish. 1t would probably
be well If the doctors parishioners
would now insist he take another
European trip in order to give his
head a chance to cool. There always
comes time when the most devoted
reformer should take rest, in order
that he may give his judgment an op-
portunity to regain its equilibrium.
The best of watches and compasses
have to be regulated and corrected
from time to time. DIR. Parkhurst
would, therefore, save his influence
for future good if he should quietly re-
turn to his pastorate and await devel-
opments. That he should now accuse
Mr.. Golf and Senator Lexow of being
less Jealous than himself, and to have
entered into some kind of "Geal" with |
Superintendent Byrnes. merely affords
an example of retormer gone awry
in, the excess of his enthusiasm and |
content with nothing less than con-
tinuous compliance with his dictation.

A Declaration of independence

The clamor for the retirement of Mr..
Carlisle from the treasury department
again rises in an angry chorus from
Wall street. Mr.. Carlisle has, in some
way not entirely clear to the mind of
the general public, lost their confidence,
if he ever enjoyed it, and they want
him to make way for u man of their
own choice. The Carlisle currency bill
has failed to satisfy their expectations,
though when they come before the
committee the wide diversity af their
own views becomes painfully apparent.
As the President fully shares Mr.. Car
isles opinions with respect to the
proper means of reforming the cur
rency, the demand for his retirement
seems to proceed from the assumption
that the president would be plastic and
Welding to the hanos of his successor.
According to the Chicago Herald, the
attacks of the New York bankers upon
Mr.. Carlisle was the subject of discus
sion at a recent cabinet meeting. After
a statement from Mr.. Carlisle as to
the attitude and demands of these
gentlemen, Mr.. Cleveland declared
that Wall street seemed to think that
the government was at its mercy, and
added something about giving it a
right of way to Hades. If this is true
it shows a good deal more pluck and
combativeneSs than in former des-
pairing confession to Mr.. Oates that
"Wall street has us by the leg" If
Mr.. Cleveland is ready for deciara-
tion of independence, he will find the
country ready to back him up.-Com-
mercial Appeal.

correspondent of the Boston Her
aid has been making tour of the pro-
hibition State of Maine and has made
some remarkable discoveries in his
rounds. He found five reputable
places" in the town of Houlton where
any kind of Intoxicating liquo rs could
be had for the asking; at Caribou he
ran upon twenty Keeley graduates,
two of whom, father and son, were en-.
gagged in running bar; In the city OF
Calais, place cf 5000 population,
there are some forty places in the mu-
nicipality where spirits are sold;' in
Bath, town of less than ZOO inhab
'tants, fifty-two United States liquor
licenses are held, or one license for
every forty voters, besides there are
fifteen or twenty other places where
they sell the stuff without a license.
The Herald correspondent says about
his observations in Bath: "Investigat-
ing the police court record, found
that nearly all the business which
comes up before the municipal justice
is in the drunk line, and that if it
wasn't for bestowing justice upon per-
sons arrested for intoXication, there
would be as little business for the mag
ietrate here as there is for an ice cream
freezer in January And as it is against
the unwritten law of the State of
Maine to arrest man until he has
made himself conspiciously drunk,
the Judge officially sees but small
portion of the people who indulge in
prohibition rum within his precinct. p"
AT the late election Bath elected a
member of the Legislature who is in
favor of submitting the Maine liquor
law to the people. Prohibition in Maine
evidently does not prohibit.

The highest amount that Col. Rob

livering a single lecture was $4,000, in
Chicago. At another time, in the
same city. he received Sa,+0o. His re-
ceipts for a Sundav-night lecture in
New York, 70 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts, amount to from $1,000 to 81 500.
In small cities the receipts on this
basis sometimes figures as low as $500,
but his lectures in large places bring
the average up to 81 900. The colonefs
