Gov. Woodbury. on the Prohibitory
Law.

Following is Il paragraph from
Gov. Woodbury's message, regard
ing prohibitory law:
ut is charged that the law is not
impartially enforced by the officers
whose duty It is to enforce it. 1t is
said that certain influential parties i'll
many towns are let alone and only
the weaker dealers in intoNicants are
disturbed, and that in Il few large
towns open saloons are run with the
knowledge OF the states attorneys.
1t is charged that the seizing officers
are satisfied to seize only enough
liquor to prove the guilt of respond
ents instead of se,zing all they might
easily find, that the prosecuting Of
ficers do not prosecute vigorously
and constantly, that Judges of the
municipal courts and justices of the
peace impose only the minimum or
nearly the minimum fine, SO that re-
spondents will not be SO much dis
couraged as to go out of the business
and thus cease to be contributors to
the support of said officials by the
payment of frequent bills OF cost.
From my knowledge gained during
the last two years, must say that
the charges are sufficiently true to
demand the attention OF every lover
of law and order, and believer III
temperance. These things should
be corrected under the present law
as it is, II they can he, or the law be
modified. so it can be respected"
Again Gov. Woodbury. says:
ssThcre is no license system in
force in the United States that
would, I think, be preferable to our
present law. am, therefore, in
favor of the present law with such
changes or notifications as time and
experience mav prove necessary.
1t will be seen that Gov. Wood
bury admits a good deal that has
been urged against the present law,
and advises some modification rather
than that it should he strengthened. |

GODS MIRACLE OF MAY.


There came a message to the vine,
A whisper tn the tree.
The bluebird saw the secret sign
And merrily sang he.
And, like IL silver string, the brook
Trembled with music sweet
Enchanting notes in every nook
For echo to repeat.
A magic touch transformed the fields.
Greener each hour they grew
Until they shone like FURNISHED shields
All jeweled DER with dew.
Scattered upon the forest floor
million bits Of bloom
Breathed fragrance forth through mornings
door
Into the days bright room.
Then bud 10y bud the vino confessed
The secret it had heard,
And in the leaves the azure breast
Sang the cli.htful word.
Glad flowers u;'sprang amid tho grass
And flung their banners gay.
And suddenly it c2Ile to pass
Gods miracle Of My!

Bryan an,uses himself by throw
ing campaign buttons to the small
boys which form a fair portion of
his audlenccs-a cheap form of en-
tertainment which reminds one of
the methods of Il travelling fakir or
of sleight-of-hand performer.
Mckinley keeps his visitors interest
cd in different way, and at as little
expense of thought. He tells the
members of every delegation that
they are the only true representa-
tives of what is best in American
life, and they are as pleased as the
small boys who jump for Br!ans
campaign emblems. Mckinley is
wiser, for most of his visitors are
voters, bnt he is prosy and INDUCES
in tiresome repetition. He should
read his own speeches and compare
notes. or prohibit their publication.

Bismarck for free silver? Yes,
anywhere, but in Germany. He is
intensely patriotic and would nat
urallv like to see Germany unload
her tremendous stock of silver
bullion on the United States. Bis
.narck's letter to Gov. Culherson of
Texas, in which he saws he favors
the unlimited coinage of silver in
this country, therefore loses some of
its force, though it is received with
joyful VACCINATIONS by the sixteen to
one enthusiasts. Bismarck is in
about the same position as the silver
mine OWNERSHIP has large guam
tity of the white metal which he
would like to dispose of at an en-
HANGED price-and his advocacy of
free coinage, for America, is not to
be taken too seriously.

The normal school question is still
an interesting topic and the contro-
vexsy is drawing out widely varying
views, from Il demand for their total
aholshmcnr to AN equally urgent de-
mand for larger appropriations for
the several institutions now in exist
ence. Both of these propositions
a,e too RADICAL the system should
not be stamped out in an off-hand
way, nor would larger sum OF
money spent on the present schools,
without some sort of Il reorganiza-
ton and overhauling, be any more
satisfactory.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.

without Apparent Notice Edward HalIen-
bach Tries to KIN william Robinson.
New YORK, Dec. 3l.-An attempt at
murder, as evidently determined and de-
liberate as it was mysterious, created
great excitement in the fathouse 3f4
West Fifty ninth street Edward Hallen-
bach Of Braklyn went to the house and
inquired for young William T. Robinson,
q dry goods clerk, who lived with his par
ents and three brothers on the top floor
The ianitor followed him up stairs and
saw him knock at the door of Robinson's
room. When the young man appeared at
the door, Hallonbaoh drew a revolver and
fired, shooting Robinson in the head
Robinson fell as If he had been killed,
and Hallenbaoh, who had dropped his bat,
ran out of the house bareheaded. He did
not appear very anxious to get away, but
walked at a quick gait. Policeman Slater
of the West Forty seventh street station
noticing the group following the hatless
man, arrested him and took him back to
the flathouse. On the way to the house
the prisoner said he was Edward Hallen-
bach. The policeman pushed his way
through the crowd with the prisoner,
mounted the stairs to the Robinson fiat
and was shown to a hall bedroom, where
young Robinson lay on bed, surrounded
by his family. The policeman led his pris-
oner forward to be identified by the
wounded man. One Of the family raised
Robinson on the pillow so that he could
look at the prisoner.
Without a word Hallenbach pulled n
revolver from his pocket and quickly fl ed
three times at Robinson Two of the bull
let's struck him. and he fell back on the
pillow with a groan, while his brothers
| sprang at the assassin, who had already
been seized by the policeman.
Slater was so much astonished at the
mans desperate act that the third shot
was fired before he realized what was hap
pening. He then seized Hallenbaoh, and,
with the assistance OF the Robinson broth
ers, quickly overpowered him.
The ambulance from Roosevelt hospital
had arrived while Hellenbach was direct
ing his second fusillsde at his victim.
Ambulance Surgeon Fields examined
Robinson. He found that the young man
had received three bullet wounds. One OF
the bullets penetrated his left side anoth-
er took effect in his head, while third
lodged in his left arm.
Robinson was removed to Roosevelt
hospital, where 1t is thought, he will re-
cover. After Hallenbach was locked up in
the West Forty-seventh street station
the police set about making inquiries az
to the cause of the shooting. They coult
not learn much. Both the prisoner ant
the Robinson family maintained an mex
plicable reticenoe regarding the whole
affair. Hallenbauh declared he never haC
seen Robinson before he shot him, bu
was sorry he had not killed him.
Hallenbaoh is a clerk, 80 years old, anC
lives at S48 Lexington avenue, Brooklyn

UNCLE SANS GENEROSITY

UNCLE SAM > ENERGSIIH.
Senator Hill recently introduced a
bill in the senate to relieve ex-Con-
federates of the disability which
barred them out from official posi-
tions in the army and navy. 1t
was unanimously passed by that
body, and probably will be also in
the Republican house. This is the
nations Christmas gift to her sons
who thirty years ago were i'll arms
against her, and displays the genu-
inc Americanism, patriotism and
magnanimity of the north. The
Atlanta Constitution says nothing
more significant has ever happened
in the history of our country, 1t is
the voice of the nation solemnly de-
claring that the eX-Confederates are
brave and loyal Americans, whose
valOr is part of our national heri-
tage. 1t means that the last vestige

forever, and it proclaims to all the
fact that the men who fought for
the south a generation ago are now
the trusted and honored sons of the
Republic, whose swords will be re
lied upon to defend our flag and
maintain the honor and dignity Of IA
reunited country. This act comes
at the time when we desire to show
the world that every American
stands ready to answer his country S
call. This removes the last disabil-
ity upon the old Confederates, and
there is nothing more to divide the
men who opposed each other gen
Grafton ago than there is to divide
the descendants of the Englishmen
who fought in the War of the
Roses" 1t is the best of Christmas
gifts, because it means that hence
forth all Americans are brothers.
