Ik as much liquor is sold in low.i since the prohibitory law was enacted as before then why is the liquor interest opposed to prohibition? Does it prefer to pay high license rather than doing business untaxed. Too thin gentlemen. Thk legislature of Kansas contains one democrat senator and four democrat members of the house, and gave over ninety thousand majority for the repub lics ticket in the late election. It dont look much as if prohibition had injured the party to any extent in that state. Thomas J. Cl-I'xie has a certificate which s-ates that lie was elected a mem ber of the Ffty-Iir.st c ngrcsi in the Fifth California district. He says we will not take his seat, however, b- cause he has learned that his republican opponent was fairly elected. Undoubtedly certificates are held and will be used at the organi zation of the House by many democrats whose right to them is no better than that of Clunie. The chances are that the contested cases will give the republicans a good, safe, working majority In the liotue before the titt session of the next congress ends. Globe Democrat. A rRE&s dispatch dated at llarrisburg Penn., yesterday reads as follows: Thc joint resolution proposing an "amendment to the constitution prohibit ing the sale or manufacture of iutoxi "cating liquors was taken up on the third '"reading and passed the Louse by a vote "of 132 to -5.V This too in a state in which a large per cent of the population live in cities. And jet there are republi can members of the legislature of Nebraska ready to deny to the people of this state an opportunity to vote on this question. They should have a care. The voters are in earnest about this mat ter. Heretofore when this question has come up it has excited but comparative ly little interest. This year it is the question and those republicans who vote against submission will be held to strict account. Hose water axd Frank Walters propose that the voters of this state shall not have an opportunity to express their views on the leading question before the people. For instance there is Kosewater looking after the interest of the Saloon Keepers Association and Whiskey Trust. And there is Tobe Castor looking alter the interests of the railroads. Hosewater calls Tobe a railroad 'copper.' What is Itosewater? A bill is b fore the state senate to re move the absurd bar. by our statute, limiting damage in case of death from personal injuries through negligence of an employer to the sum of $"i000. There is no earthly reason why such an ex ception should be made by statute, other than that it is a protection to corpora tions. If the people want to see what senators are controlled by the corporations of this state, let them watch the vote on that bill. A man may recover $10,000 for the loss of a limb if a jury consider such member of his body that valuable; Tet, the widow and chihlren of a good ! cit'zen are limited to the paltry sum of. $ .000 in case of his death caused by the gross negligence of an mployer. The man that votes agiinst a repeal of this j obnoxious dishonest statute h is a corpo- ! ration collar around his vc. ! The house caucus on subini.-sh n am ng republican men b ts discloses sev eral trimmers who fiayj great trou' 1c with their conscience. They are the class of fellow s wl o conveniently leave the'r coniciei.ee at home while tl ey are out among the honest voters asking for their nuppoit. It is only after tl e whisky trust ha set n them that their consienee gets in the way of a fulfillment of their pledges m vlc to catch votes. Where a member of the house or senate states that his constituents are opposed to m:r..iiT Tixo any question lo the for their verdict, be simply states what everybody knows U fal-e. A man is wholly unfit to represent the people or tuiytftiiiy, who will stai.d up nt the present day and whine about his constituents being afraid to trust themselves to vote on any ques tion. We gui.raiitii! Mr Gilchrist and Mr. Caily and Mr anybody or Mr. no body, in the present legislature that these same constituents will take mighty good care to not return them to a Nebras-ka 1 gi.-.Iuture. The JIkuw.d, text, wants to see the republican senators caususand see who among these gentlemen have a case oi jumping conscience toothache We would have much greater respect for the man who would stand up and say as a represent utive of the whisky gang, he was bound to oppose submission in that interest; but we haye no patience with the fellow who saddles it off on to his poor bottle fed consienee. HOMES FUIl IWJIELliSS JlOVti It is a wise saying that to reform a man we should begin with his grandmother. IJut in the cass of the present gem-ration it unfortunately cannot be practically ap plied. Once the subject is in the world and well on the road to manhood, re formatory influenced must be directed upon himself, and the earlier iu life the better. There is no more effective form of work in behalf of morals than that which aims to keep youth out of evil ways. i ne criminal irom tlie cor ner loafer, the loafer from the street boy, and the street boy comes of the poverty or neglect that sends children of tender years away from home influences into the public haunts of men. It is better to be gin reformation at the younger end; to save the boy than to punish the criminal. A practical method of doing this work is now being organized by the Committee of Christian Workers in the United States and Canad. The plan is to oper room in a 1 cities and huge towns, stock the in with l eading matter, appliances for games, etc., and invite in iho boys who now have no evening re sort but the street or worse. Each room will i.e.: open ever- evening and will be under the charg.r of a sum i intendent, who will devote his time during the day to visiting the boys' homes, looking after the boys who get into the police courts, and extending a helping hand to them whenever opp rtunity offers. The rooms will thus become places of healthful and instructive resort, and centres of home influence to those who have no homes, or none worthy of t;e name. This system has been put in practice during the past year in the state of Con necticut, with results alt ogether encour aging. The few rooms opened there have been regularly visited, every even ing, by about three thousand boys, rang ing from eight to seventeen years of age. Most of the lads have no i-ther tit place in which to spend their evening, and without these rooms would have re mained on the streets, training in vice and crime. As it is, they visit the rooms with eager interest, and their habits, tastes and speech show that elevating in fluences are at work upon them. Doubt less the great majority of them are being betti-r fitted for the citizenship of man hood, and many are being saved from ways of crime and the punishment there of. The expense of opening these rooms is not great about a hundred dollars each: and the cost of maintaining them is ea.-ily met by the contributions of local benevolence. A hundred dollars so expended in any community, or needy district of a city, would pe a iioble bene faction to hundreds of homeless lads, a gift that would not only cheer the prcs ent but secure and enoble tlw future of their lives. X. Y. Tribune. Couldu't Seat the Widow. Tho' Albany Journal states that a dirty, foul mouthed tramp called at tho hous of n Bethlehem widow, living alone, abo-.!t 7 o'clock in the morning, and offered to saw wood in return for a brenkfast. The woman eyed him sus piciously. "Are ye hungry?" she asked. "Yesum, hungrier nor a bear." "Well, ye e.in have yer feed first, 1 guess." He wr.s given a bountiful weal. At its con-clu.-ion the tramp rose and took up his ugly Koking bludgeon. "I'll keep my eye--, w ide cqeii tight." he said, grinning, and if 1 ste a man as w ants ter saw yer wc:oJ fer his breakfast 111 give him yer address." Then be opened the door and slouched out. IJo bad gono but a few bteps when he heard the widow's sharp voice calling a halt. He turned with an oath and saw a gun pointed 6quarely at him. The widow ordered him to come . i i j i right imcK. lie came oac& anu sawcu not one, but two, cords of wood, killed ami plucked two chickens, whitewashed thchcii house and cleaned out the cow stable. lie will not repeat the visit in a hurry. Court Ufa at The Hague. The court and the capital at The Hague, which is a city of about 140,000 inhabitants, arc not much frequented by foreign visitors, ow ing to their lacking iu general gayety and those lavish en tei laiiiuients w hich are considered to be indispensable features, and which exer eiso such a fascinating attraction in a continental Capital Dutch court life ami society are pronounced by the elite f tho fashionable world to be absolutely dull in their distinguishing home like plaimwes and narrowness. "Necessarily u court presided over by an aged king and queen, if their tastes reigni must be forbidden ground for extravagant festiv ities, and as the staid character of tho peoplo, with the quietude which must accompany tho capital of such people, are- really not calculated to offer any very lively field for frolicking, so it la net astonishing, on the whole, if out-fcidi-rs are wont to give them the go by, iialtiaiore is mi. Ulll Uruzeltou'a Death. A gentleman from Tucson, A. T., in the lobby of tho National hotel, spoko uf ono of tho desperadoes of his town : "I want to tell you that the Grst and grrfitest lon highwayman in this country lived in Tucson, and his name was Bill Bi-azelton. It lias now been seven or eight years sinco ho was killed. Wliilo ho lived ho was the terror of southern Arizona, and ho did all of his work singlo handed, lie used to work in a livery stable in Tuc son. He was a young fellow who did not say much, but was all tho time practicing with his revolver when he was not at his work. Ho was tho most active, iowerful young man I ever saw. "Ho got so he could turn a somersault with his pistol in his hand, and as lie came up liit a half dollar every time, twenty-live yards away. He could shoot in every position, whether stand ing, running or riding, and every time ho 'plumped' tho bull's eye. Sud denly he left town, and it was not long till wo heard of his robbing stages all alone. He had nerves of steel, and did not seem to bo afraid of anybody or anything. Tho greatest efforts were made to capture him, but he eluded all of his pursuers. He seemed to bo here, there and everywhere at tho same time. "Finally it was suspected that a hostler working in the stable where Braze! ton had been employed knew something of him. lie was taken out on the edge of town and hung up till lie was almost dead, when ho agreed to confess, on condition that Brazelton should bo shot outright, as he would kill any man who betrayed Ids secret at the lirst opportuiv'ty. Tho hostler said ho was to go out to meet Brazelton that very night and take him some thing to eat. Ho was to wait behind a log in a certain piece of woods. , "A party of six well armed men took tho hostler and went with him to the place of rendezvous. They all lay down behind the log and waited foi Brazelton. By and by ho rode out ol a thicket into an open space and came slowly toward the unsuspected am bush, lie carried his pistol in hit hand, as if suspecting that things were not all right. When in thirty yaiL of tho log the whole party rose and Cred, killing both horse and rider in an instant. It was ono of the most dramatic incidents that ever occurred about Tucson in those troublesome days. Brazel ton's body was riddled with balls. Ho was brought to town and tho next morning ho was propped up against an adobo wall and had hit photograph taken, and the local pho togruphe-r lias today in his showcase a ghastly illustration of the triumph ol his art." Washington Post. Safer Thau tho Stairs. "The elevators of this town carry nearly a million peoplo up and down every day but bunday, said N. Jr. Otis, the elevator manufacturer, yes terday. "Yes," he added, "evervbody takes the elevator now, because it is safer to ride than climb the stairs. It's strange to sav, but, nevertheless, it is a fact, that the number of accidents in eleva tors is very small in comparison with those that are caused by falling down stairs. This is because the modern passenger elevator has almost reached perfection now." Speed and simplicity of structured tho most desirable qualities of the pu senger elevator, and theso are both found in tho hoisting machines in com mon use in tho big ollico buildings down town and in the high apartme: houses near Central park. They are nearly all run by water power, or what is termed hydraulic pressure, as that is less complicated than steam. A water tank i3 located either on the roof or in tho cellar, and supplies the power to run the elevator. In the Potter building the tank is on the roof and holds C, 000 gallons of water, which furnishes power enough to run the elevators. Jlr. rank li. (jrallaner ex plained to a Star reporter yesterday the various improvements made m hoist ing machines during the last ten years. The speed had been increased, he saicj, from 100 to 500 feet per min ute, and instead of the big, lumbering vehicle that used to be called a "sleep ing car." there was now a small anart- ment, handy and well equipped for swut passage. Ho said that the old system of hoisting by horse power was dangerous, because it was not possible to always keep tho ropes and pulleys in perfect order. lie thought that people did not fuily appreciate what a boon the improved elevator was, with its rapid movement and perfect safety. New York Star. A Submerged City. Lough Neagh, Antrim, enjoys a celebrity for a marvel that both his torian and poet have commemorated that of flowing ipver a submerged city. Caston thiu records the fact, if such it be, though to tho judgment of sober reason it will seem but a legend, which wo give, merely modernizing tho orthography: "There is a lake in Ulster and much fish therein. The river Bann runneth out of the lake into the North ocean, and men say that this lake began in this manner: There were men in this country that were of evil living. And there was a well in tho land of great reverence of old time and always covered; and if it were left uncovered tho whole would rise and drown all the land. And so it happened tnat a woman went to the well for to fetch water and hied her fast to her child that wept in the cradle, and left the well uncovered; then tho well springed so fastly it drowned the woman and her child and niado all the country a lake and lish pond. For to prove this it is a gc-eat argument that when the weather is clear fishers of the water see in the ground under the water round towers and high shapen steeples and churches of the land." This tra dition is mentioned by Giraldus Cam brensis. Who knows not with what exquisite pathos and poetic skill ilooro has used this legend in one of his sweetest songs, "Oh Lough Neagh Banks as tho Fisherman Strays." Our Own Country.
