some figures as to the effectiveness oi
prohibition. or rather its failure in
Maine and Kansas | have relieved
from Washington the last annual re-
port OF the commissioner OF inter-
nal revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1904. In it find the follow
ing figures:
"RctaI liquor dealers i'll Kansas,
o.S62: wholesale liquor dealers, %;
brewers. 2: retail dealers in matt liq-
uors. 3s5: wholesale dealers in malt
liquors, IoS
In Maine the figures are: Retail
liquor dealers. 43o: wholesale liquor
dealers, 5; brewers, 3; retail dealers
in malt liquors, SIS: wholesale dealers
in malt liquors. 22.
Now. in neither of these states
can liquor be sold as beverage, un-
der the law.
In South Carolina the figures are:
Retail liquor dealers, 512; wholesale

How Prohibition Prohibits.

The figures speak *or themselves"
continued Senator Tillman, and
when any one remembers that no
man will pay the twenty-five dollars
to the United States government tof
the permission to retail for fun. It may
be seen how prchib. ton prohibits.
OF course, in South Carolina there
are large number OF beer privileges,
and all the dispensers take out United
States licenses. and these will have to
be deducted from the Sgmres above
given. in order to show how many
blind tigers we have in this state.
kansas has possibly 100000 more
population than South Carolina. while
Maine has about half our population.
IN. one who is interested can work
out the percentages. The figures show
that there are about twice as many
liquor sellers per capita in Maine as

dispensers. while in Kansas there are
more than FIVE times as many.
Real Fight Year Hence.
"T um more than ever convinced
that there is political significance, a:
well rs desire to further the cause
oi temperance. in the move to destroy
the dispensary. I shall be glad if a
least a dozen counties vote out the
dispensaries this summer, because i
xi!i give the people OF those counties
good chance to find out how ia
prohibition will prohibit, before tn

\ Wonderful Record Made in Raising
Money for War Purposes.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Had it been asserted eighteen
months ago that Japan would be able
in an emergency. 70 raise S7S7. 1000
for the purpose Of waglng war fare
against European nation. the state
ment would have been given little
credence, yet this is the remarkable
showing made by that nation. Not
only that. but the loans negotiated
abroad have been Upon terms which
world has in the nliNado's people and
their future. The initial foreign loans
upon S11o,ooo,ooo were in short-term
bonds upon which Japan was requir-
ed to pay per cent. interest and
pledge the customs duties as security.
These were negotiated in May and
November. 1904. but when Japan
agaif, found it necessary to go abroad
last March the tide of battle hao
turned in her favor to a degree that
made the placing of S15o,ooo,ooo at
4 1-2 per cent. an easier matter than
was the negotiating of the earlier
loans at a much higher rate. The re-
cent loan of another S15o,ooo,ooo was
likewise arranged on similar basis
without the slightest trouble, in both
instances the tobacco monopoly being
pledged as security for the interest.
! Besides the amount Japan has Dor
rowed abroad. it has raised by ex-
cheuuer bonds at home since the be-
ginning over subscribed, by the patrl-
otic Japanese to the extent OF nearly
900 per cent. Increased taxation has
yielded $1o6,3 100000; economics in ad'
ministration, S48,2oo,ooo; transfers
from special accounts. S31,5oo,ooo
and from other sources more than ST.
900 900, bringing the total amount
raised for the prosecution of the wal
against Russia up to S7S7, ,ooo,ooo
Even more remarkable than japan,
ability to raise money is the fact tina
in spite of the war there has come nc
material depression in industrial ane
commercial lines at home, the natlor
today beng in prosperous condition
This NAV be accounted for largely BY
the fact that the country derives prac
ticallv all its income from its natura
resources. agriculture. fisheries. am

revenue. and the demands upon tn
former two being increased by tn

long black blouse with no decoration save
n small blue flower embroidered on the
right shoulder.
An Lee says Eisenberg stole her gold
earrings He says he didn't and adds that
the Chinese ara plotting to drive him out
Of Chinatown because he won't divide his
profits.
Fee Lee, who Is a nephew of Tom Lee,
interpreted for An Lee. She wasn't fright
eued a Bit but she was very respectful
Before testifylng she kow-towed 10 Judge
Mcmahon. raising her hands above her
head and then bending her knees three
times.
According to All Lee, Eisenberg went to
her rooms at rs Mott street on Feb 2s

chased him, crying for help.
She say she hoilered police" said the
Interpreter.
Policeman Strosser was across the street
and he grabbed Eisenberg in the hallway Of
the house. All lee says she found the ear
rings In Eisenberg's left coat pocket.
let's near you cry ponce, SAID Lawyer
Goldsmith, counsel for Esenberg. Cry it
Just as you did then
Either the Interpreter was not careful TO
explain the question TO All Lee, or she didn't
understand il. for her answer was -Poleece-
a-man" in a uInid whisper.
-Oh. no. said Goldsmith. NO police
man could have heard that in the street
The question was repeated 10 All Lee.
and her face lighted up. Grabbing the
arms Of the chair, she leaned forward and
shrieked:
@Poleece-a-man!" 1t was some minutes
before the echoes died away. and even
LAWYER Goldsmith was convinced of her
lung power
All Lee denied that she smoked opium
for Summing parties. Summers she said
went upstairs Joss house up there,
she explained She was positive that
her husband didn't run a gambling house
He was a grocer
Policeman Strosser denied that he had
been posted there in advance to arrest
