Too Much Drunkenness.

Drunkenness and open violation of
the license law has become unbearable
and disgustingly offensive to our citi-
zens. Last Sudday morning the often
sive evidence Of Saturday night de-
bauches were terribly in evidence.
That these things should continue is
an outrage. Policeman Mundy, sing lie
handed and alone, is doing all he can
to correct the evil but he cannot and
should not be expected to stay up all
night, while the law is violated it is
also abused, or in other words Empori-
um has altogether too many licensed
places. With practically eighteen
licensed places to say nothing of the
''pigs ears " Those men who have in
vested large sums of money in order
to furnish the public comfortable ac-
commodations, see the law violated
daily, yet they are compelled to keep
''mum." If this outrage continues
much longer the people will rise up
and wipe out about tWo-thirds of the
licensed places in Emporium.

An Emporium "Reminiscences.

a good many years ago, when Caleb
Sweasey kept the Old Biddle House,
where the Warner House now stands,
there were thirteen of us gathered
around the big bar room stove with
Sweasey behind the bar, when an old
soldier came into the room and want
ed pipe oftobacco Now, the strange
thing about the unlucky number in
the case was that there was not one
person in the crowd that used tobacco,
which was unlucky for the old soldier.
However, Mr.. Sweasey said he would
pay for pipe if some one would 90
across the street and get it for him.
The writer of this went across to
Cranes and got the tobacco for the
man. After filling his pipe he wanted
to know if we could find r. M. Over
hiser, who was an officer in the regi-
ment that he belonged, wishing him to
assist in securing pension. After
getting the desired information he
went on his way rejoicing"
| very much doubt it the same mum.
Der of men could be found at this day,
in bar room in this State. none of
them using tobacco.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, June 10th. 1905.
Editor Press
President Roosevelt has brought.
if not to a close, at least to a
period, the peace negotiations
which have for the past week had
their center in Washington by ad-
dressing to Russia and Japan
duplicate note in which he appeals
to both beligerents to bring to
close the "terrible and lamentable
conflict now being waged. 1t is
generally believed that the Presi-
dent did not take this step without
first ascertaining that it would
prove acceptable to both powers
and it is generally accepted as
long stride in the direction Of peace.
Should peace be accomplished as
the direct result of the initiatory
steps which the President has taken
it will add one to the many tri-
umphs which have crowned his
administration.
Stunning up the general situation
in the light Of the best information
obtainable, il may be said that fol-
lowing the Presidents frank pre-
sentation Of the situation to the
Russian Ambassador, which 0c-
cured Il week ago, the Gar finally
sent for Ambassador Meyer. who
it will be remembered is a mem
Der of the Republican National
Committee, from Massachusetts,
and a close friend Of the Presi-
dents. Mr.. Meyer served his ap-
premiership in diplomacy at Rome
where he was Ambassador through
out the last Administration After
his audience with the Gar the
Ambassador cabled full account to
the President, the character of his
communication having been rs
closely withheld as possible.
He made it clear, however, that
the Gar was still unwilling to be
placed in the position of suing for
peace, although he was grateful for
she Presidents friendly express
sions and intimated that he would
be glad to know something of the
peace terms which Japan would
demand.
After a careful consideration OF
Ambassador Meyers dispatches,
the President sent for the Japanese
Minister, Kogoro Takihira, who
came Immediately to the White
House, despite the fact that he
was obliged to leave a sick bed to do
so. What the character Of his in
teryiew with the President was can
only be surmised, but it is known
that Japan still maintains thepOsi-
tion that she cannot define peace
terms until Russia has done more
than express a mild interest in
their character. The Mikado be-
lieves that the Gar should first
frankly declare that he is ready to
make peace if Japan's terms are
moderate, that then, the President,
or other intermediary, should Sc
cure from the Gar an acceptance,
at least in principle, OF some Of the
conditions fundamental to perman-
nent peace,
For instance, Russia should, III,
the estimation OF Japan, recognize
the right of Japan to &n indemnity
the property of the permanent
evacuation of Manchuria, the per.
manence of Japan's control of
Corea, etc. This much accom-
plished protocol could be signed
and the actual amount of the in
demnity, the fate OF Yladivostok,
and similar more specific qCestE2ns
could be left for final settlement
between the principals, The Car,
on the other hand, maintains that
it is extremely difficult for him to
commit Russia to peace without
some appreciation of all that peace
implies.

Washington, Feb 25.The bitter feel
ing created In the revolutionary party
Of 5anto Domingo by the negotiation
Of the treaty for an American protec-
torate, has resulted in an attempt to
assassinate President Moralese at Santo
Domingo city. Five Of his .assailants
were captured, but the others escaped.
There have been several attempts re-
Gently to kill President Morales. From
the number. Of men engaged in the latest
attempt, it is believed that the plot
was more extensive than any of the pre-
Yious ones, and it lis feared that it may
prove the beginning Of the revolution
which has been threatening for weeks.
The uprising was scheduled for Dec.
80, but was postponed to await the
outcome of the negotiations for an
American protect orate, WHICH had been
instituted by President MORALES. Since
then the Tfvo lut ionary Ataders5 have
been holding their forces II readiness to
open war on the government when the
tinne seemed most opportune; Regent
ly the feeling Of the rank and file Of the
|revolutionists has been increasing in
bitterness, and it is possible that the
leaders may no longer be able to hold
their followers in check. II X - g
The report Of the attempt to kill Mo-
rales and the fear of an uprising was
cabled to Rear Admiral Sigsbee, com
manding the Caribbean squadron, and
it is expected that he will at once
strengthen the American naval force in
