Closing the saloon will un-

hence, the need of preaching
temperance will continue, even

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Last week was a quiet one in
Congress, the most important e.
vent having been the vote of the
Senate committee on Military AT
fairs on the Brownsville case.
That committee, by a vote of II
to 2, refused to adopt a resolu-
tion offered by Senator Foraker
declaring that none of the negro
soldiers of the 25th Infantry did
the shooting, and of those two,
Mr.. Bulkely, a moment later, vo-
ted for the Dupont resolution de-
claring that the evidence showed
that the shooting was done by
negroes, with the rifles issued to
the commissioned officers of the
25th Infantry, so that really Mr..
Foraker was the only member
prepared to say that the negroes
were all innocent. The vote de-
claring the opposite, that the ne
groes were guilty, stood 8 to 4,
Mr.. Dupont not voting. Mr.. For
aker has already introduced a
bill providing that all the dis
charged soldiers shall be restored
to the army and given their back
pay, a bill which he fully appre-
ciates will not pass, but which is
intended to have it's effect on the
negro race. Senator Warner will
introduce bill authorizing the
President to restore to the army
and give back pay to any negro
soldier who can prove his entire
innocence of completely in the
affair to the satisfaction of the
military authorities.
Steady progress is being made
on the Aldrich bill in the Senate.
The fact that the President fav.
ors the measure and is willing
that it shall be called an Admin.
istration measure constitutes the
chief strength of the AldricE
measure, which conforms in al
essential details with the recon.
mendations contained in the. last
annual report of the President
The House seems at present tt
favor the Fowler bill, which il

ject as yet and that he will leaC

County Option in Ohio.
BY LEO.


majority in both houses, has en-
acted law whereby each county
in the state will have the option
to allow the saloon to sell intoXl-
cants as they do now, or close
them. 1t seems fair enough, and
the citizens of each county will
have no one to blame but them
selves if the old regime be con-
tinued.
Let us understand what it
means. There are those who fall
to comprehend the matter, speak
ing of the measure as if the law
makers had passed a law to force
the people of the state to total
abstinence as to intoXicants. 1t
is not prohibition of drinking,
but of selling liquor in saloons.
The measure, if adopted by the
counties, will doubtless curtail
drinking, especially social drink
ing, for it will make it harder
for the common saloon patron to
obtain his drinks. But still, when
a county chooses to Danish the
saloon, it puts no ban on drink
ing if the liquid fire can be had
in some other way than by pur-
chasing in the open saloon.
Statistics go to show that even
in states where prohibition OBJ
tains alcoholic liquor is procured
and consumed in large quantities.
Take, for instance, Atlanta, Ca.
where no saloon is permitted to
sell, and yet, from adjoining
states liquor is pouring in in bot
ties by express. The expires ag-
ent is not supposed to know the
contents of the packages. He
delivers the goods and collects
the toll, and the thirsty ones get
their intoxicants.
And again, clubs are formed to
purchase and drink together.
The social club is allowed to pur-
chase the supply, but is not al
lowed to sell or give away, but
each member can easily help
himself when the supply is with
in reach.
In Maine they have hundreds
of Kitchen saloons" wherein IL
uuor is clandestinely dispensed.
Indeed, there are many contriv-
ances to evade the strict enforc-
ment of the law.
And yet, better it is to Danish
the saloon, although drinking
may continue; because the drink
ing done at home and in clubs
will be less productive OF drunk
enness and crime. Atlanta, Ca,
furnishes a new proof of this.
During the month of January
there was much less drunkenness
eighty per cent less; and less
crime-ffty per cent less. The
streets where saloons had been
selling had become as orderly as
any other.
This is the showing at Atlanta.
We regard it as justification of
the no-saloon system. 1t does
not stop drinking, but it does
end much of the social drinking,
which is conducive of so much
crime.
Let us not think that the new
law in Ohio is a total abstinence
measure. It is not, it simply
closes the saloon if the citizens
wish it so.
Under the new law we look
for fully one-half of the counties
in Ohio to vote out the saloon,
and among the number Darke
county. 1t will be much better
without the saloon, even if some

with a majority CnaC is quite en-
couraging to the temperance peo-
pie. Sentiment in favor of tenn
perance rule has been growing,
but that such legislation should
secure a vote greater than two
to one was scarcely expected.
The vote was 79 for and 32 ag-
ainst. That the Governor will
approve the bill with signature
goes without saying and thus the
measure becomes the law of Ohio,
but a vote to make dry territory
before next November can not
be. What may occur then and
thereafter / will not attempt to
forecast, but without doubt the
liquor traffic will be excluded
from some parts of the state,
and maybe from a considerable
portion. One thing seems very

worth the name business? Let
us call it an intollerable practice
rather.
What will be the result of the
Johnson and CARRIER imbroglio?
The latter put Johnson out once,
but can he do it again? We will
wait and see, and during the
time endeavor to maintain as i'm
partial an attitude in the case as
is possible. 1t is somewhat diff
cult to see which of the two has
the merit, on account of which
we stand non-committal.
The committee having in charge
the investigation of the Browns
vile affair has rendered a report
against Senator Foraker's wish
and in favor of the action of the
President. This matter has been
pondered over in our brain pan
and we have been impressed with
the belief whether the Senator
would not have succeeded better
if he would have submitted the
matter to a primary for ascer-
tainment. He has lately had
pretty good success in the sub
mission of matters to the prima-
ry, and he ought, by all means,
to have engineered that matter
so as to insure him success. But
thus it ever is. The most astute
will adopt the wrong means some
times for their prospects. His
mistake is that he referred the
matter to a committee and not to
the primary.
Well, the deadlock in the cleo
ton of a United States senator
