1t was announced then that they had
agreed to take care OF the Cairo
street Improvement bonds at the rate
fixed by the ordinances. This consul

PROHIBITION INEFFECTIVE.

The general Impression Is that al
the sentiment against the liquor traf
| fic seems to have grown so rapidly
during the last year. the consumption
OF liquor must have been perceptibly
checked. but the government report
Just issued proves the contrary to be
true aud justifies the conclusion that
while the legitimate or legal traffic
in liquors has been lessened the see.
ret or unlawful consumption has in
creased ont OF all proportion to what
even the out-spoken opponents OF pro-
hibitors laws could reasonably have
looked for,
This is not only true of whiskey, but
Iof tobacco. cigars and cigarettes as
well. Millions of gallons more whis-
key and beer were consumed, billion
or more cigars used, million more
cigarettes smoked and thousands Of
pounds more OF snuff consumed than
in the previous fiscal year.
This is shown by the statement OF
