THE LICENSE ISSUE.

we should like to take 1t up and
debate it in the next few issues
OF this paper. 1t is before the
/ people and the tickets are up.
While favoripg license we are
just as subject to conversion on
this as any other. We have lived
in all sorts of towns and our eX
perience has made US what we
are on this question. Paonia has
been so-called dry for year.
Let us see what has come about
as the result.
First, the utter lack of any
change in conditions from po-
lice record is the most gratifying
thing. There have been just about
the same number of arrests for
drunkenness as when we had sa-
looms and they were always very
few.
Our merchants say that quite
little trade has been diverted to
Hotchkiss and it is absolutely
true that they have seen a new
line established dividing trade
between these points and the line
is closer to Paonia. This does
not signify that the farmers wish
to get drunk when they go to
town, but there are very manv
who prefer to visit a town where
things are more open and where
they may buy glass of beer
without fear of being jerked be-
fore police court.
All the people do not hold the
same views on this question as do
our tetotal friends. No license is
not an especial cross upon the
Paonia user of intoxicants. He
may order at will from Somerset
or Hotchkiss, and his wants are
supplied quickly and cheaper
than by the regular retail route.
But the visitor who comes to our
town is frequently inconvenienced
by this matter and he goes away
to return only when he has to.
We submit that our temperance
friends are not invited to frequent
the places where liquors are sold.
The frequenters of those places
rarely if ever infringe on the
pleasures of the worshiPper or
visit his residence. Why cannot
the total abstainer be equally
courteous and stay away from and
cease interfering with those who
hold more liberal views1
Paonia is out financially just $2,-
600 by one year OF dry town and
we cannot see that an appreciably
smaller quantity of liquors has
been used. In what have we
gained? A little less revenue has
been received by the town, little
less trade has been enjoyed by
our merchants, taxation must be
held where it was in spite of the
phenomenal success of our utili-
tiles and we are unable to find
one good thing accomplished by
the change. At least the whistle
is too expensive for general use.
Those who are but birds of pas
sage and expect to leave US in a
brief year or two may be able to
afford it. Those who have no
taxes to pay may find no incon-
venience in the closed town, but
the bulk of our people are here to
stay and they feel the strain of
anything that diminishes the gen
eral prosperity.
However, after all arguments
are made and considered. the
,t ,naet;oo &c that the r,oioritu

LAST REQUEST DENIED
Body of Mrs. Natalie Latham, Artist,
Will Not Be Cremated.

PARIS, March s.-The body of Mrs.
Natalie Dole Latham, who shot herself
Yesterday, was removed today from her
apartment to the vault of the American
church, pending the arrival from New
York of her father, George Lockwood,
who is sailing tomorrow. Mrs. Latham s
request that her body be cremated can
not be complied with, as the French law
prohibits cremation except in the case
Of natural death. The friends of the
deceased portrait painter ascribe her
deed to melancholia,
Baron Rapher. Madam Grun and a
marquis, who is an officer in the French
army and who was a caller on Mrs. La
than, who beard the fatal shot as he
was descending the elevator, are the
friends mentioned IN one of the letters
left by the suicide. They all eXtol her
character One letter left by the de-
ceased tried to make it appear that the
shooting WAS accidental, while in an
other the request was made that her
wedding ring be not removed, and
neither her dress, ball gown, nor her
hair. which was especially beautiful,
should he disturbed.
Although Mrs. Latham derived a
considerable income from her paintings.
il was not sufficient 70 maintain her in
the style in whicn she lived. She had
received no remittance from her father
for two months.

is also punishable by fine or imprison-
ment.
Both these laws are now in effect,
and as the Acts of the last legislature

may be that some people are in ignor-
ance of their passage. Their provis-
ions will be rigidly enforced.
