The Tacoma Union deplores the
fact that the number of marriages in
the City of Destiny is growing 'less,
year by year. According to the Aud
itor's books there were TOT marriages
in that city during the year 1890; but
with the exception of one year, 1892,
the number has rapidly declined I'M
til during the year just ended there
were barely 1868 marriage licenses is
sued at the Auditors office. In clos
ing, the Union pathetically asks.
"Where does the fault lie, with the
coy maidens, or bashful bachelors?"
The whole thing is perfectly simple
and easily explained. When sensible
Puget Sound young people want to
marry they come to the capital city,
of course.

Perry was aroused by the noise Of a
scuffle in the yard. Repairing there,
he found the turtle hanging to the
nose of a big fox, which had been
stealing from the memories in the
vicinity for a month. Br'er Fox was
near the fence %endeavoring to get
over, but his efforts we're blocked by
the turtle. Eventually the fox reached
the next yard, but farmer Perry fol-

was cut off. Then it crawlcd back to
it's home, carrying the nose with it as

The Liquor Problem To-Day.

Saturday, the goth of March, was
the 93d birthday of Neal Dow, the
veteran field marshal in the army of
Prohibitionists. For forty-six years
I have known the grand old man, and
telegraphed to him my hearty con-
CALCULATIONS.
By a curious coincidence, on the
same day that I sent my message Of
congratulation to my honored friend,
Gen. Dow, I finished reading the lately
published volume (from the press of
Houghton, Mif1in G. Coz entitled,
''The Liquor Problem in its Legisla-
tive Aspects" 1t is a very valuable
volume on account of the facts which
it contains-from which every reader
may draw his own conclusions ; and
the genesis Of the book was on this
wise. A committee of fifty gentle
men, interested in sociological discus
%sions, appointed a subcommittee to
investigate the legislative aspects of
the liquor problem. That committee
are President Elliott, of Harvard
President Seth Low and Mr.. James G..
Carter, the eminent lawyer. The COM
mittee employed DR.. Frederick H.
Wincr and Mr.. John Koren to spend
several months in investigating the
actual results Of prohibition in Maine
and Iowa, of local option in Massa-
chusetts, Of high license in Pennsyl-
vania, Of the dispensary system in
South Carolina and of the tax law in
Ohio. They have aimed at thorough
ness and impartiality.
Their study Of the workings Of pro-
hibition in Maine interested ME the
most deeply, and some of their state
ments I can confirm from my own OBJ
servations in the "Pine Tree State"
From their tabulated statements it
appears that distillerics and breweries
are extinguished in Maine. In sew
eral of the more rural counties, where
the public sentiment for total absti-
nence is strong, the lawi is we'll enforc-
ed, and haunts of temptation are not
open. In certain other counties, like
Pcnobscot and Androscoggin, (where
there is a large foreign population
the traffic in intoxicants is not sup
prcssed-as the great number Of open
dram shops in Bangor and Lewiston
sadly testify. There is much surrep-
titious dram selling in Portland, Bath
aud other large towns; many thirsty
folk buy their tipple at drug stores or
the licensed ''town agency;' worst of
all is the existence of many drinking
clubs" who import their own liquor
for their own use, and are not punish
able under the law. The investiga-
tors also affirm that in order to evade
the prohibiting statute the liquor in
terest resorts to bribery, Matchmaking,
perjury and corruption of Courts. In
short; the law is productive of much
solid benefit, but the defiance of it and
the e%vasions of it are sadly demoraliz-
ing. Where there is a powerful pub
lie sentiment against drinking intoxi-
cants the law works admirably where
there is not the dealing in intoxicants
either open or secret-goes on uu-
checked.-Reu. Theodore Il. Cuy7cr,
