a Columbus (OhiO) corporation an old
professor of Miami university where ex-
President Harrison graduated He said
that when Harrison was a senior in col
lege an elderly man, whose name ] have
forgotten, came there to make a speech
in favor Of the abolition of slavery. It
was, of course, the average abolition
speech of those DAYS about slaVerg-its
wrongs its injustices and the final re-
suits of its continuance. In those days of
course very few of the college or college
communities shared the sentiments of the
abolitionists The most progressive of
them seldom went beyond the Henry
Clay or Daniel Webster ground Of COM
promise. Harrison had already a repu-
tation as college orator and was called
on to reply. He Was unpreDared at 4
moments notice to present q very formal
argument. and in order to gain time to
collect his thoughts he began with gilt
tering generaIities. The gentleman. he
said, IS conYersant with his subject. He

Statistics prepared by the New York
state excise commissioner show
considerable reduction in the number
of saloons in the state as the result of
the operations of the Raines law. That
law has now been in operation about
thirteen months. and in that time the
number of saloons has been decreased
by 7,437. When the law went into
force on April 80, 1896, there were 3d.
437 licenses in force in the state. On
November /. 1896, there were 26,593 Ii
cnses in force, and it is expected that
there will be issued about $4,000 IL
censes during the present year. The
total receipts under the law from May
I to October 81. 1896. were I'll. 038, 1922,
and after deducting rebates and ex-

amounted to $10.556.192. Under the

tempted to make a temporary arrange
ment with Great Britain that joint
measures be taken for the better pro-
lection of the seal herds against in
discriminate slaughter, but the attempt
was unsuccessful. partly perhaps be-
cause the British commission which
investigated the subject last year does
not believe the extinction Of the herds
to be so imminent as the American
commission thinks it to be. Both gov
ernments have reappointed the COM
missioners who Investigated the sub
5ect last year to make another investi-
cation this season, and the United
States has assigned three revenue cut
tiers to patrol duty to prevent depre-
dations on the herds. Under the ex-
listing agreement the way will be open
to new arrangements next year.
