soRREETY IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Tho decline in consumption of alcoholic bev-
e-ares in Great Britain. 10 which we have occa-
sionaIly called attention in recent years, stead
fly continues and has now reached point It
which IL seems judciOus 10 regard ii as de-
cidedly significant movement. which promises
rernlanenf results. There are. of course. I'm the
records of all nations variations and iuctua-
tions from year TO year in such matters. But
when either an increase n decline continues

period. and is not reasonably attributable 10
any merely transient causes. II becomes worthy
Of serious attention
About seven years ago the manufacture ana
eousTI1nrfion of beer in the United Kingdom
reached its maximum. the consumption in 1899
1900 being no less than 32.29 gallons a head
From that point there has since been an un-
broken and pretty uniform decline, until last
year (19o6'07D the average WIS only 27.s1 gal
Ions a head. That means decline of nearly II
per cent i'm seven years Nor is that move
snent counterbalanced by an increase in other
forms of drinking. Consumption of distilled
spirits also reached it's maximum In 1899
1900. at LIS gallons head, and since
that time IL. too. has steadily declined. to only
n-3l Of gallon last year, or more than %
per cent OTher indications 10 the same effect
are found In the facts that In the last ten years
the number OF brewers licenses issued for the
manufacture OF beer has fallen from S.305 10
onis 1885. and the number of traders licenses
80 sellers of intoxicating liquors has also de
cllned from 233. .7o2 TO ODD 1894.
There are. We have said, no reasonable
causes for this change apparent, excepting that
OF increasing sobriety on the part of the British
people. In these seven years general prosperity
hss prevailed Trade and manufactures OF
other kinds have grown. The consunption of
other articles has increased The number of

BAD FIN4NCIERING.

Hudson County New Jersey, is in an awkward
plight. Its treasury is empty various CONSIDER
able debts have be paid and there is no revenue
in sight for long time. If only the railroads
would nav their taxes according TO law the
county's funds would be amply repenished. but
they do not, and will not for some time. lhey
dispute the validity Of the law and are nghtinS
it in court They have just been badly peaten' 1t
is true. in the Supreme Court of the state, but
they have carried the case TO the Court OF Errors
and Appeals and if beaten there they will carry
It on TO the federal court. They may be defeated
in the end 1t is probable that they VIII De.
But before the Supreme Court OF the uhited
States has finally settled the case years may
elapse. Scarcely anybody supposes the eho can
be reached in less than two years Meantime
the taxes will remain unpaid and Hudson
County-and other communities-wili be de-
prived of expected and needed revenue.
Beyond doubt the railroad companies have
right to do as they are doing. We may doubt
the wisdom of their course. Many JudlciouS
people 90. There seems TO he no more than
q remote chance that the Court of Errors
and AppeaIs will fail TO sustain the decisions OF
Justices Fort and Pitney. affirming the validity
of the law. Nor in view of recent decisions IN
Michigan and elsewhere does there appear TO be
much doubt that the federal courts VIII taKe the
same view of the case. So il seems prooabie
that in the end the railroads Will have 10 pay
the taxes as now levied, and there IA general
hope in New Jersey that they VIII be compelled
to do so in full with interest. without any COM
promise or discount.
Nevertheless as we have said, their right TO
avail themselves OF every chance and every delay
afforded by the law is undoubted, and we must
therefore regard 1t as very poor judgment Tor
county or other public authorities TO depend for
Immediate income upon the receipt OF a revenue
which was not absolutely certain anyway. and
considerable delay in the receipt OF which was
practically n foregone conclusion. Hudson
County is, Of course, entirely solvent IL VIII
pay all it's obligations in full But because OF
iniudicious fnanciering on the part of its au-
thorities 1t is suffering embarrassment and re-
prosch. and some OF its creditors are probably
enduring real hardships. The case affords les
son in prudence which should not be ignored.

tbetic regard for Berber susceptiblit1es. But
where the French, bear sway the Berbers get
more kicks than halfpence, and so there Is
trouble.
We must feel some surprise at this statement
of the situation, because it runs quite counter 10
the general rule Of experience and obserVatlon-
In Algeria and elsewhere the French-at any
rate since the disastrous days in Hayt-haVe
houorably distinguished themselves by their con-
sideratn and fraternal conduct toward subject
races while the Germans in their African ana
other colonies have been much more inclined TO
use the mailed fist" We may imagine now
ever that there is something like reversal or
the rule in Morocco, for the reason tnat the
French soldiers have been sent thither con-
sciously and avowedly as the wielders of neces-
sary force while the Germans are there as mer-
chants whose policy it is to ingratiate them
selves with the people. To that extent we may
probably accept DR.. Ovilo's views of the case
1t is scarcely possible, however, TO regard MS
exclamation as completely covering the wnoie
situation II could not have been either the IN
creased tariff or the cavalier conduct or L french
soldiers which filed Morocco with lawessness
long before the tariff WAS changed or trench
forces were sent thither. The corruption, lnelfl-
cheney and general unwOrthiness Of the Sultans
government have for years been notorious ana
have constituted nothing short of an interna-
tionaI scandal. Ii was necessary that something
radical should be done. Whether the course
now heing pursued was the wsest that could
have been chosen may be moot question in an
academic way. 1t is too late now 10 answer lt
otherwise than as it has been answered. and III
that course apparently, France must now per-
severe to the end.

WAR AND EMIGRATION.

An interesting and suggestive, II not entlrey
convincing. comparison between war ana emil
grafton as causes of national loss Is made by
Mr.. c. dc Thierry in THE United Service Maga-
zine" His argument is that the emigration or
man is a greater loss than the killing or
soldier and that thus the United Kingdom has
suffered much greater losses through expatria-
ton than through war.
Some of his statistics arc at any rate i'm
pressive. In the last ia years since the out
break of the French Revolution, he computes
that the United Kingdom has spent f1.262.-
Se3 III in wars On the other hand, in less
than half that time. or since 1853. Ioo626l
subjects have expatriated themselves b. emf
grating 10 lands out side of the empire. He
reckons that they carried with them in cash
or its equivalent f231 2o9313. Moreover. one
fourth Of them were able bodied workers. who.
he calculates. were worth $3.50 each. Thus a
total loss TO the United Kingdom of S1.314,-
442 63s is computed, or considerably more than
the cost of all the wars in twice as much time.
The argument fails to he conclusive, because
it does not IA ke into account the enormous cost
of naval and military establishments in times
of peace or the vast indirect losses caused by
war. or vet. on the other hand. the very large
sums sent back into the kingdom by prosperous

The New York court of appeals
has decided that the legislature can
not pass a constitutional law regu.

factories or department stores.
Judge Gray writing the opinion,
says: IAN adult female is not to
be regarded as a ward of the state,
or in any other light than the man
is regarded when the question
relates to the business, pursuit or
calling. Woman in this state has
come to possess all the responsible
ties of the man, and she is entitled
to be placed on an equality of
rights with the man."
Il do this with no feeling of dis.
respect" said Mrs. E. I. Sells, pres
ident of the CHIC 60 chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, as
she draped the confederate flag on
the portrait of President Roosevelt
at the annual entertainment given
by the organization in the Sherman
house in that city recently. You
may not know, went on Mrs. Sells,
'but the president is of southern
extraction. His mothers relatives
fought for the confederacy. The
annals of war will show the justice
of my position"
