LICENSE, VS.. LOCAL OPTION.

An animated and somewhat bitter dis
cussion, says the Baltimore Sun. has been
prccipitated in Hartford county by a recent
report of the grand jury. That body de-
clarcd that considerable portion of their
time had been spent in an investigation
of alleged violations of the prohibitory
liquor law or the local-uption law, as it is
called, which prevails in that county. This
investigation had been without results.
The jury concludes that Either the law
should be made effective to prevent such
violations or we should have strong
license law This recommendation has
apparently started Il movement for the re-
peal of the prohibitory law and the enact
ment of high liquor license law. Those
who favor the latter declare that if spirit
uous liquors are to be sold the traffic should
be under the control of the law and those
who sell liquor should be made to pay a
tax for the privilege. The advocates of
prohibition, of course, strongly oppose the
repeal of the present law. One. prohibit
ton paper facetiously suggests that the
laws against larceny be repealed and that
all who are willing to pay for the privilege
should be permitted to steal. In an eX-
tended communication to local paper the
venerable Dr. William F. Brand, rector of
St. Mary's Church, Emmorton, Hartford
county, gives his reasons for preferring
high license to prohibition. He gives va
rious instances where in prohibition COM
munities he found an active liquor traffic,
and he was told in one prohibition town
that the prohibitory law results in free
license to sell liquor. The Doctor has
much to say of the sin of drunkenness and
concludes his article as follows:
"To one who has been addicted to drink
and would live better life total absti-
nence is an imperative obligation as he
would save his soul. There is for him no
other safeguard. So to one whose father
was drunkard, and who has thus the
hereditary faint of love Of liquor, it is dam
gerous to touch that which may develop
the tendency A man who would subdue
his body to his spirit may, if he pleases,
drink only water and eat only bread-glut-
tony as much as drunkenness is sin
against God But no man has right to
enforce on other men total abstinence
from anything that God allows; to pro-
hibit the use of wine any more than mar
riage.
Local option as civil law is to be
judged of by rules of expedience. Oul
grand jury have ventured to say that as
yet in Hartford it has not answered its pur.
pose, and to suggest the possible need OF
strong license in its stead They viii
receive from some praise for their courage
from others they will reap Hearty dcnun.

SPOiLSNEN YIELD \ POINT.

The order issued by the assisted COM
missioner of internal revenue, directing
collectors of internal revenue to observe
for the presant existing civil-servlcc resu-
lations in making appointments, is regar-
ded as surrender, for the present at least
by the spoilsmen Of the Treasury Depart
ment to the civil-scrvice reform senti
mcnt of the administration.
No steps have been taken to reinstate
the deputy collectors removed by Collec-
tor Brady and others, without warrant of
law, as claimed by the ci.il-service COM
mission2rs, nor is it contemp .,.ed that such
reinstatements will be made. The inter
nal revenue bureau adheres to its original
position that the terms of deputy collec-
tors expire with that of the collector, but,
in the matter of appointment, they con-
cede that ciyil-servicc rules must be strict =
ly regarded.
Compliance with the civil-service law,
even to this extent, is regarded as great
gain by the civll-seryice commissioners
for if it is conceded that if col e tors cannot
make appointments except in accordance
with civil service rules the motive for
making removals is at once destroyed.
The Treasury Department officials re-
gard the whole ciyii-seryice question as in
an unsettled condition. Notifications of
the law are anticipated in Congress and
corresponding notifications in the reg
ulations by the President are also expect
ed. Senator Prtchard, the chairman of
the civil service committee in the Senate,
left for home Sunday night, but he says,
he will be here at the opening of the sea-
sion prepared to urge such legislation as
will, in his opinion, improve the public
service.

BALTIMORE'S GREAT RE
CORD.

While one month still remans be-
fore the record of the year 1897 will be
closed, yet this is a good time for a
glance at the great export trade that
Baltimore has done in the past eleven
months. The figures are enormous,
says the Baltimore 1mcrtcan, and make
this city second in rank in the country
as point Of export. The total for the
time named foots up close to eighty-fve
millions of dollars. The shipments of
grain, beginning with the month Of
July. when the eastward movement of
the enormous crops started, have been
simply phenomenal, reaching the maxi
mum in the month of Septembcr, when
the total was eight million bushels.
These shipments still continue, the fig
ures for November showing consider
able increase over those for the previous
month.
The value of Baltimorc's exports for
the present year is given in the follow

WILL FIGHT ANN EN- ALTON,

Senator J. X. Jones is going to fight
against the annexation of Hawaii He
says that he knows of no combination for
the united action of silver men in the SEN
ate in opposition to the treaty, but says
that he is himself very much opposed to
the anne Ration of Hawaii or any other
outlying territory.
AS an evidence, however that there was
no combination of silver men involved in
the matter, as has been stated, he called
attention to the fact that Senator Morgan,
one of the strongest advocates Of anneXa-
ton, was 4 prominent silver man.
Mr.. Jones said that he thought the an
neSation of outlying territory was not TO
the best interest of this government, and,
therefore, was earnestly opposed to an
neNation. He was unable to predict what
the Senate would do.

THE WHEAT SUPPLY,

American wheat growers have had
prosperity during the past year and
from present indications they will re-
ceive high prices for their next years
crop. We hope our farmers will take
courage from this and realize that by
the exercise of industry and persevcr-
ance they ought to make comfortable
support from the cultivation Oh the soil,
and enjoy far happier lives than many
who seek their fortunes in the over
crowded cities.
The following from the st. Louis
Star will be read with interest:
1t now seems that the world must
very materially rely, for the next year.
at least, upon the United States for its
supply of wheat. The wheat crops are
short in all countries, except in this
and Canada.
Mr.. William Blaine, director of the
largest milling company in Great
Britain, has been in this country for
some time looking over the prospects.
and is firmly of the above opinion, not
rs Il speculator, but rs miller.
Mr.. Blaine particularizes from Il
study Of the wheat situation i'll the Ar
gentine, Australia, Russia, the fertile
Danublan provinces, France and the
United States. His information is
that i'll Argentine the wheat crop. soon
to be harvested, is better than it was
last year. The total will be - 900 900
to 30, 10000 bushels. While the crop
outlook there justifies these estimates.
Mr.. Blaine says there are climatic in
tluences which may change the harvest
situation. The farmers in Argentine
have no way of protecting the wheat
They have no sheds, no covering. no
elevators, except at the ports, and if
heavy and continuous rains come
something not unlikely-the crop may
be greatly damaged. At best, not over
30,000,000 bushels can be counted on
from Argentine.
In France the crop is the worst
known i'll years, and this condition holds
with all the other countries named.
Mr.. Blaine said that at the time of
his departure from England, early in
October, there was only, at most, six
weeks supply, and for that reason the
millers were using extraordinary eff
forts to accumulate surplus.
Everything now indicates that wheat
is even more valuable than gold.
Let none of it be burned this winter
for fuel, or fed to hogs. Better let the
hogs 60 to market little light in
weight, and endure the cold, at least,
to moderate extent, than to sacrifice
the wheat at less than It's value.

MCKINLEY AND GAGE DIFF
FER.

A Washington special to the New York
Herald says: Currency reform will have a
hard row to hoe in Congress. majority
of the members of both houses are I'M
questionably in favor of legislation to cor
rect the most glaring faults of the present
monetary system, but many Senators and
Representatives are demagogues, and the
demag ogues may hold the balance of pow
CT in the Senate. The influence of the adj
ministration would be a potent factor if it
could be exerted tremendously, but the
President and Secretary OF the Treasury
differ radically.
President Mckinley has been listening
to Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, who still
believes it may be possible to accomplish
something in the way of international
bimetallism The President will refer to
Secretary Cages scheme and will com
mend it to the careful consideration of
Congress. He will say in effect, however,
that in view of the possibility that this
may not meet the views of Congress he
ms determined 10 SuDlillt ditSi HdtiN
proposition.
This proposition will be that all green
backs which shall hereafter be redeemed
in gold shall be retained in the treasury,
and shall not be paid out again except in
exchange for gold. As it would be neces-
sary to keep enough currency in the treas
ury aside from greenbacks to meet cur
rency expenditures, he will recommend
that authority be given the Secretary of
the Treasury to sell low interest bonds to
strengthen the treasury reserve sufficient
w to allow the retention of all the green
backs He will not propose that the bonds
shall be payable in gold.

FOOD GROWS SCARCE.

The Lc,'gn's special correspondent at
Skagrav met the members Of the Dalton
party. who are just out from Dawson
City, headed by Jack Dalton, Joe W.
BOYLE of Woodstock. Ont. and W. c.
Gales known rs "Swiftwater Bill.
Mr. Dalton said that at Dawson City
gold is plentiful, hut food very scarce. He
does not, however. believe that the stage
of general actual starvation will tie reach

two large companies operating there on
account Of their inability to cope with the
situation successfully.
1t is reported by Mr.. Boyle that when
the Marguerite came up the Yukon in
September she was unable to proceed with
her full cargo beyond Fort Yukon, and
left there most Of the ii oar aboard, bring
ing into Dawson large amount of whisky
presumably for the purpose of getting
larger profits than on the flour.
\ still further shortage has been caused
at Dawson owing to the fact that when
the Bella came up from St. Michael's dur
ped at Circle City by nearly two hundred
armed men and forced to leave the larger
part of the cargo.
Captain Hansen Of the Alaska CONNER
cial Company, who went to Dawson, call
ed a meeting. He advised all men with
sufficient supplies to start for Fort Yucon,
325 miles below Dawson City, and about
so miles below Circle City. The mounted
police were authorized C force the depart
turc of the men without winter outfits,
and the companies boats carried down
$50 men.
During the next few days nearly 200
arrived over the Dyca and Skaguay trails
| and it is claimed that the larger part of
these had only supplies from one to three
| months.
The San Francisco Cot has received via
steamer City of Seattle Il letter from its
correspondent, sam Wall, who succeeded
in reaching Dawson City on September
. after perilous trip in a small boats
from Fort Yukon. He was the first to

of the failure of the relief ships to get up

The gold seekers he says, are confront
ed with famine, and there will undoubted-
ly be intense suffering during the winter
months. The dominion police have an
nounced their intention of Selling all

B. Campbell, general traffic manager Of
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany, who has just returned from an eX-
tended trip in the east, in speaking of the
rush to Alaska in the spring said:
Present indications in the east are
favorable to a large number of gold
