DIGEST OF THE NEWS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE WORLD,

Comprehensive Review of the
Important Happenings OF the
Past Week Culied From the Tel

The Portland daily press., 1896-03-25

the present method of regulation is that'all
license features are wanting in the Raines
law. Under it anybody mott convicted
OF crime can 60 into the liquor business
provided be pays the tax which the law
imposes. The tax in the cities is very
high and In smaller places as high in
proportion. The expectation is that the
tax will prove SO onerous that compare
lively few will ssee profit enough in the
business to pay 1T and that the present
number Of liquor shops will be dimin-
ished. A strong argument in support of
this feature was that it would take the
aaloons out of politics. The chief objec-
lions urged to the bill were that the en-
for,ing board was likely to become a
political machine and exert tremendous
political power, and that the taxes would
go to the state instead of to the towns
and cities in which the saloons exist.
This last objection was urged chiefly by
the cities. 1t is admitted that the law is
an experiment, and that nobody can ex-
actly forecast its results. Its supporters
who predict that it will work well, rely
largely upon the experience with a some-
what similar law in Ohio which is said
to have been SUCCESS.
The Portland daily press., 1896-03-25

What reflection will accomplish is well
shown by the fate of the Cuban resolu-
lions which though not quite dead are
moribund, and even if capable of resusci-
tation can never be brought back to any
thing like good health. When the SEN
ate first tackled this subject the Sena-
tors almost tumbled over one another in
their zeal for free Cuba. Hardly any
body had anything to say against it
ana only six Senators voted in opposition
The House added an Intervention resolu-
ton and the Senate conference committee
swallowed that with eagerness. But
When the amended resolutions got back
into the Senate the idea had begun to
1eebiy dawn upon some of the Senators
that to recognize peligerency without
knowing whether belligerency existed
was very stupid and absurd sort of per-
formance, and there began to be an in
quIry for facts; and of facts that made
IN favor of the proposed recognition very
lew were forthcoming. Since that in-
: curry and the failure to get satisfactory
reply there has been constant and rand
decline OF Cuban enthusiasm, until atIast
1t has SO far departed that it is admitted
by the promoters Of the resolutions that
they must be greatly modified before
they VIII stand any chance of adoption.

1t is stated that there were 1898 human

An intimate friend of Alfred Austin.

The Raines law which has inst reoeived
GOV. Morton's approval, ma kes several
radical changes in the present manage
ment of the liquor traffic in New York
30 far as the present supervision of it
goes it is local and it varies somewhat in
different places. But under the Raines
law all regulation of it within the pro-
visions of the law will be under the con-
troll of single state board. Enforcement
therefore is likely to be more uniform
and more even. Another important
