London Standard: In journalism, as
in other matters. 1t Is probable that the
weapons have Improved more than the
men. Yet the actual Improvement Is
astonishing. To-day the reader IN Lon
don who opens a daily newspaper
would be disappointed Y he did not
find full and fairly accurate infoTn1a-
ton on any event of Importance which
has occurred within the previous four
and-twen9y hours in any European
capital. and In the chief cities of the
United States and the colonies ms well
The reader scans t!lfse long messages,
flashed. perhaps, over two continents.
or under 10000 miles OF ocean, with
scarcely a thought OF the labor. the
cost, the mechanical skill. The elaborate
organization, which have gone to pro-
duce the result a iNborcr with q penny
TO spare can to-day know more even OF
the affairs of the world, more even OF
the secrets Of diplomacy, than q secHe-
tary of state a Century ago. An lntelll-
gent journalist. Sitting at the receipt
OF news, can see the motives on the
International chezS board much more
clearly than q Cholseul or a KaunttI

snn,n Carolina Liquor Law.

For the first time the pubic Is en-
abled to Judge something Of the pFacti-
cal wording OF the South Carolina dis
pcnsary liquor system, as n revenue
producer and rs an agent for the pro-
motion OF temperance among the peo-
pie. The report OF the liquor commits
sioner contains many facts and figures
which tell the story OF the administra-
ton OF the law for the eleven months
from February. 1885. to December Slst.
Within that period the state dispenser
sold through the local dlspensaries
s., o7s,s63 90 worth OF liquor. on which
there was a net profit to the state OF
slss, 467 n and to the counties and towns
OF SlO6.ls1 IS The profits to -'e latter
were about ten per cent pretty fair
revenue on the Investment. In another
statement It appears that the total
profit to the state for the two and n
half years OF the operation OF the law
averaged only 100000 year, an insig-
nliicant sum compared with what could
have been derived from the license sys-
tenn.
The report does not hold out much en-
couragement for the friends of the law
on the main points which were
urged In It's favor before its
adoption, namely, whether 1t has d.
minlshed the consumption OF liquor and
checked crime and disorder. The docu-
ment Is silent on the latter point, but
citizens OF South Carolina who have
been observing the workings of the dis
pensary system. declare that there has
been no decrease OF crime since 1t went
into operation.
Concerning the consumption OF
liquor, the commissioner, while he does
not go into details showing that there
has been an increase. complains that
the facilities for filling orders are not
adequate TO the demand and asks that
they be increased. This is significant
as going to show that the consumption
has at least not fallen on any.
It also appears that the dIspensary
law has failed in another direction
not giving to the state amonopolyotthe
traffic. There are great numbers of
cases OF evasion OF the law by those
who. rather than patronlEe the state In
stitutlon, import their liquors from
other states and do their own dispen-
sing. Speak castles" thrive all over
the state, and are only suppressed at
great expense when q conviction can be
secured These facts account in
great measure for the comparatively
small revenue that finds Its way into
the state treasury.
Taking everything into consideration.
It can hardly be said that up to the
present time the dispensary system has
been a remarkable success financially.
nor has it proven to be much In the ma
ture Of moral reformer. Until some
better results are developed 1t Is not
likely that other states will be encour-
aged to follow South Cardinals exam
pie OF going into the saloon business
either for revenue or as reformatory
measure.

THE BIG DRAINAGE CANAL.
Water Will He Turned on In Por-
 ton of the Great Work.

Water Will Re Turned on In Por-
 ton Of the Great Work.
 CHICAGO, Oct 29.-Residents along the drainage canal below Lemont will be treated today to the sight of 8 great volume of water rushing toward Joliet through that portion of the big ditch which has hitherto been dry.
 From the point where the Santa Fe tracks cross the canal at Lemont to q point two and one-half miles east, the canal has been completed for many montLs, and the excavation has been gradually filling with surface water. The average depth of the water is nine or ten feet, and at the eastern end, where the contractors are still at work On section No. 5, it is feared the flood will overflow and interfere with the workmen.
 With the exception of the space of 100 feet wide in the middle of section No s, at Lemont, under the Santa Fe right-of-way, which has not been touched, the work of excavation is prac- tically complete from section 5, to sec ton 5, distance of 10 miles. On sec tion 14, near Lockport, pair of big pumps has been placed with sufficient capacity to keep the ditch free from surface water.
 Chief Engineer Randolph decided some time ago to tunnel under the Santa Fe tracks in order to release tho body of stagnant water collected above. The tunnel work will be completed this morning, and about noon the last charge of dynamite will be fired to blow out the "head' of the tunnel, allowing the water to rush through at the rate of II ,000 cubic feet minute.
 A number of engineers and other guests, have been invited by the drain- age canal officials to witness the freeing of the flood, and it is expected crowds of people will watch the scene from the banks of the canal
 The great engineering feat of creat- ing the giant waterway Is rapidly near ing completion. Nearly 95 per cent of the excavation is now finished.
 MT. Randolph said that as the result of rough estimate he finds the mass of rock and earth removed would form, if loaded into freightears with 40 tons to the car, and locomotive for each 40 cars, an endless chain of trains long enough to circle the earth at the equator and overlap distance of 174 miles.

Farmer Kills a Highwayman.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. 29.-While Henry Dale, farmer, was returning home from church near Smiths mines, two masked robbers sprang from the bushes and ordered him to hold up his hands. Dale responded promptly and effectually with his pistol. After he had shot one robber dead, the other surrendered and begged for mercy. The dead man proved to be Ben Norheet, a notorious character, and his pal is John Mitchell The latter was delivered to the authorities by Dale The coroner's jury justified the killing, Dale not even being arrested.

 ST. LOUIS, Oot 29.-Calyin 0. Hick- ey, racehorse owner, with headquar- ters at Sportsman's park, fell into bad company here when he met Kate Will son, negroes, near Fourteenth and Market streets. Hickey had $500 in his pockets and was induced by Kate to go to her room. He was in her com pany an hour When he counted his money and found that his roll was $4S0 short.
 Returning to the house he tried to find Kate, but was unsuccessful. She had evidently departed for regions where Hickey would have hard time finding her. He went to the Four Courts and laid the matter before Ser geant Mcfarland He said he would give $l00 to the officer who arrested Kate. The reward still stands.

Commissioner senner's Plans Upheld by
 the Department.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Immigration Commissioner Senner has received from the treasury department reply to a communication he had written regard ing the disposal of Q number of Ar menian refugees BOW on Ellis island It was as follows:
 "The department approves your ac- tion ill the matter as reported in your letter of the 23d instant and the future course indicated therein Your reoom- mendations as to acceptance of bonds will be considered in connection with the papers received.
 The telegram was signed by W. E. Curtis, acting secretary.
 Dr. Senner has recommended the fol- lowing:
 Insist upon proper distribution of the Armenians so as not to congest the la- bor market in any particular branch or location.
 Secondly-As they are uuquestionably assisted immigrants they must provide proper bonds, 30 as to secure the coun- try before landing agalnst their being supported by the Federal authorities.
 There are 274 Armenians left on Ellis Island, six having been released yester- day. Susan B. Fessenden, president of the Massachusetts Board of the Wom- ans Christian Temperance union, has promised bonds for 100, and Commis- sioner Senner expects that the Salva- tion Army will secure bonds for 100 more. It is not thought that any will have to be deported.

alliance with England Ill the Crimean war for the benefit of England served as pretext for attracting Russian infu- enees within the orbit of the German foreign policy, where they remained till after 1880.
 The results of the Franco German war terminated by the treaty of Frank fort, opened Russias eyes and the views of the court of St. Petersburg was modified on account of the new condi- tions of the equilibrium and her future interests.
 Prince Bismarck. ? continues the Fi- gro, s was the only man i'll Europe who would not understand this evolution. This was really the principal cause of his fall, for William II was more far seeing on this point than his minister understood it. If the affirmations of the Hamburg Nachrichten to the effect that secret treaty existed until 1890 between Germany and Russia, assuring the neutrality of tho latter i'll the event of war with France, are false; they are merely criminal, disgraeeful and i'm potent maneuver Ii true, what must Austria think, who only made an alli- ance with Germany on condition that she would be aided ill her rivalry against Turkey. The Vienna papers demand explanations which it would be difficult for the German government to give.
 The Figaro concludes
 Prince Bismarck ought to furnish these explanations, either confessing that he is an imposter or that he has not foreseen the consequences of his own policy, which have been to alienate Russian sympathies from German ego ism ,
 The Gaulois says Prince Bismark's attitude lacks dignity and will min- imize him in the eyes of posterity If he is really the author or inspirer of the Hamburg Nachrichten revelations he has very short memory or speculates on the credulity or ignorance of his readers. He should remember that the alliance of the three emperors was broken in 1886, when Alexander III withdrew on account of the intrigues to put a German prince on the Bulgari- an throne.
 He must be aware that it was the si- multaneous publication in Berlin and Vienna in 1888 of the treaty concluded by him with Austria in 1879 that decid- cd Russia and France to come together.
 The Gaulois does not sec where Ca- priyi's responsibility comes in, and con- cludes that the main effect of the Ham, burger Nachrichten articles will be to weaken the triple alliance, which is al- ready falling to pieces. The Gaulols adds that it would be curious and in- structive if he whose object was to iso- late France should witness the isolation of his own country and be obliged to admit he himself contributed to it.

 Journals of France.
SOME HARD THINGS ARE SAID.

The Whole Affair k on Account of the
 Revelations Regarding the Russo-Ger-

 richten, For Which Bismarck Is Held
 Responsible.
 NEW YORK, Oct a9.-A dispatch to The Herald from Paris says two of the most conservative of the Paris papers The Figaro, the representative paper of the bourgeois of France, and The Gau- lois, the organ of the Royalist society publishes sharp attacks on Prince Bis marck oil account of the revelations re- garding the Russo German relations in the Hamburger Nachrichten, for which he is held responsible.
 The Figaro says that the events in which Bismarck is concerned now can only be qualified as posthumous since his fall from power. He cannot be con- tent to have no say in the less impor- tant affairs of his country. The pre-. dominant idea of Bismareks adminis- tration was to make use of Russia to crush the western powers.
