a maine nxpnmnson
There was recently furnlsbod In Banuj
gor < , Mnlno , an instructive Hlustrntion
of j the fact that prohibition docs not
prohibit It appears that the liquorvi
sellers in that city , who , according to
the reports of the United States Intorlx
nnl . revenue ofllco , number ono hundred
and forty-two , have for about a yenr
past : boon carrying on buslno33 openly
nnd boldly The city authorities did
not attempt to Interfere with thorn or
lo enforce the law , the result being that
the disregard of the prohibitory stattl
ttto | wont so fnr that seine of the cltlre
zoii3 petitioned the governor lo enforce
tha lnw A lot of spr-clal conslablos
were appointed by the governor for that
purpose , ,
. Last wool : this constabulary force , as
sisted by the sheriff and the police ,
raided the saloons and arrostcd many
of the liquor sellers , who in duo course
were nrraignud and fined and their
liquors confiscated Just at present
there is no ono openly selling liquor In
Bangor , , and this situation mny con
tinuo fnr a few weeks , but the raid
itself demonstrated that there was a
very > considerable body of the people in
sympathy with the liquor sellers , and it
Is not doubted that in a vary bripf time
most of thorn will again bo doing busia
ncss moro or loss openly , while doubtw
low some of them are already doing so
secretly The Portland l'fcss , referring
to , tlio raid , says that cxporionco has
shown ; that a vigorous and permanent
enforcement of the liquor law , or any
other ponnl statute , cannot bo ex
pected ' In a community unless
public senlimont demands it
with something near to sub
stantial unanimity , and as two
of the newspapers In Bangor
condemn the notion of the governor ,
and have with them n strong popular
bunt'imont , rcpoatcd raids will bo uocosh
Bury to prevent the s.Uoot liquor there ,
and oven that course might not bo suc
cessful in absolutely enforcing the law
, This Maine cxporionco should bo care
fully considered by the Iowa prohibtP
lionists , who ntthoir recent convention
ndopted n resolution donmnding from
the legislature the onactmout of laws to
compel the absolute enforcement of the
prohibitory law in every county , city
nnd town in the state The confosslou
which these prohibitionists thus made
of the failure of the law in Iowa em-
phiisizcs | the fact that where there is a
considcrublo public sentiment hostile to
a law it can not bo absolutely enforced ,
no matter how much legislation thcro
* is i enacted for this purpose , except by
recourse to such oxtraordinury means
as were oraployod at Bangor means so
repugnant . to American ideas , nnd so
pregnant with the possibilities of evils
and abuses , that they would not any
where bo permanently relied upon
It has been well observed that
wnat ' is needed to secure the onforoe-
ment ' of prohibition in Iowa is not
moro ' laws , but a public sentiment that
will ' sustain the existing laws , and so
long as there is In the cities and lurgor
towns 1 of that state a strong clement
which ' olthor vigorously opposes the on-
forcomeut j of the prohibitory law or is
indilioront , it will bo to little purpose
to enact additional legislation But it
seems ' hopeless to reason with pcoplo
who are blind to the facts and deaf to
the teachings of experience

CLOSE OF TllU TARIFF HEARINGS ,
The ways and moans committee has !
concluded its public hearings on the 1
tariff , and will at once prooood with
the work of preparing a bill In the 1
monntimo , however , it is understood '
that audience will bo ( riven at the convenience -
vonionco of the committee to ropro-
sontatlvos of Interests nffoetod by the
tariff who may desire lo bo heard It
was not expected that these hoarlngs
would give the committee any great
amount of information in addition to '
what was already at its command The 1
senate committee-during the last congress -
gross obtained a pretty thorough ox-
prosslon from the interests concorncd
in the tariff , and it is presumed * that
this is of record The conditions have
not so greatly altered since then as to
affect a material ehango in the opin-
ions of these engaged in the protected
interests , and for the most part the
ways and means committee hearings
have cllcltcdl ittlo now information
It lias been found that quitogonornlly
the most fully protected industries desire i-
sire a continuance of that policy The
Ohio and Pennsylvania iron interests
still demand that there shall bo no re i-
vision of the tariff in the direction of
reduced duties Ono of the moat
elaborate arguments made before the
committee wns by the president of the
Western Iron Ore association in favor
of the retention of the duty on iron ere
On the ether hand , ropresontutlves of
the iron industries of Now England I ,
which have boon nearly destroyed by the
competition of Pennsylvania and Ohio ,
made u plea for free coal and iron ere
and a roductlon ot the duty on pig
iron The representatives of the coal
aud iron interests of the south were in
sympathy with the demands of Ohio
and Pennsylvania The wool problem
wns found to bo ns complicated as over
The growers continue to insist that the
prcsont duty shall not only bo mtiin-
tninod , but increased , whllo the nrnnii-
facturoi'3 , especially the manufucturors
of curpots , urge tliat the duties at least
on some grndos of wool should bo re-
dpeed , and the manufacturers of wool on
goods v/ant u readjustment of duties
which the wool growers strenuously op-
pose The glass industry still needs
protection , according to most of its rep
rosentatlvos , although ono of the larg-
est manufacturers asked for the repeal
of duties on raw matorlals nnd assorted
that his branch of the glass Industry t
the manufauturo of lamp ohitnnoyu ,
would bo better off without any tnrilT
duties ,
Thus it was throughout , the majority
of these representing the protected in
terests urging that it was necessary to
continue the fostering euro ot the gov- *
eminent ever their industries , except
in the cusos of the iron and woolen
manufacturers ot Now I'nulund , who
ivwant eheupoi' raw matorlals Perhaps f >
the hearings were vnluablo , however ,
in muking ' clonror the fact that there Is
no oxeuso for increasing the duty on
iiany article of Importance , and thut a
lurgo number of articles which yield
lIlUllliWMIllKlilll iiJ aMa m.ui , * < ' , i" > - r ] full . SiTiii
only a trifling revenue could bo put
upon the frco list without injury to any
domostlo industry Conjecture ns to
whnt the committee will tlo In agonoral
way , or as to particular industries , can
Ik of little value , but it would seem to
lx nt least safe to nssumo
that thcro will bo no ntlvanco of the
duty upon any nrtlolo entering largely
into the usoot the whole people , while
it Is to bo expected that there will bo
such changes and modifications in the
gonornl ( schedules ns will glvo relief to
the pcoplo without ondangerlng the
rovonuosot the govornroont or moncc
nclng the prosperity of any domostlo
industry This much is suggested by
the reported disposition of the ways and
means coin nil ttco

THE MAYORS APPOINTMENTS
Mayor Cnshing's appointments may
bo classed as good , bad and indilTorcnt
They are as usual the outcome of politi
cal barter , and for the most part were
made in liquidation of political debts
incurred in tholato campaign
Mr Popploton is perhaps the solo oxj
coptlon < Illsnppolutmont a3 city nttorj
noy is highly creditable and ranks
nbovo ' the avonigo
Dr Clnrlc Gaplti as city physician is
a concession to Mr Lyman Tower , who
was Mr Gushing's chief medical purveyor -
voyor and paymaster in the late camn
paign
Thomas Hlloy was put In as license
inspector ' to plaster ever his lacerated
feelings during the county campaign
Jim Flannory , who keeps a working
mans saloon on the South Sldo , takes
the ploco hold years ago with such dig
nlty and decorum by the late Barney
Shannon
And the plumbing inspector , why his
name is Dennis Ho ha3 had some ox-
porlonco ns a sewer inspector , but what
ho knows about plumbing and house
dralnntro remains to bo demonstrated.c
Mr John McOory , the now sidewalk
inspector ' , bus bundled a good many
loose ' political planks in Ed O'Connor's
political prcsorvo , the Fifth ward , and
ho will probably nail down bomo of
these ' planks to give O'Connor n walkav'
way nuxt fall
These specimens from the gonornl
list ' of npnointinents nro sunicicnt to indicate -
dicato ' tlio drift ot the now admlnistra-
tion The worst feature is the rotonc
. tion of a nutnbor of tax-oaters who are
placed on the city pay roll to fill places
created for barnacles and ward heelers
who render riotangiblo returns for their
salaries
Oa this point wo propose to touch
moro fully at an early day

CUSUINQ'S ' INAUGURAL
Mayor Cushlng's inaugural is a com
pound of platitudes and claplrnp The
new mayor presents to the citizens of
Omaha these worm-caton plurrks of discarded -
carded platforms , which abound in
buncombe about fundamental
princir
pies { of our system of government , "
government by the people , " regulating -
ing j domestic nllnirs , " and wedges in
taffy for the council ahd a tribute to his
late lamented predecessor , who , accord
ing J to Cushlng's manual , was "a wise
and vigilant statesman "
. In the main Mr Cushing's inaugural
is moro suggestive for what it
omits than for what it touches ,
noon His recommendations are ,
confined ; to free bath houses , a work
house , additional polling places and an
increase j of our police nnd fire force
Mr ] Cushlng evidently has no concop-
tion ) of the many needed reforms and
the | demand for retrenchment in depart
monts j that have needlessly inoroa&od 1
the j burdens ot the taxpayers Ho has 1
nothing , to say about the enormous in-
crenso , in water hydrant rental which
within . two years will exceed ono hun
dred , thousand dollars a year ; nothing
about ( the rapid increase of gas lighting
and , electric lighting expenses , nor the
incroachmonts upon the city by
franchised corporations who are con
stantly , onlarglng their right-of-way
for trackugo , depot , storage purposes
and elevator and warehouse grounds
which practically pay no city taxes
Ho tins no recommendation as to the
ineroaso of revenue or the lopping off ot f
tuxeators But Mr Cushlng is com
paratively a novlco in city nffalrs and I
* , oo much could not bo expected
Councilman WiiuKi.uit has inaugu-
rated municipal reform with a big R ,
by onglncoring through a resolution
directing the comptroller to * have flvo
thousand copies of Broatch's valedie-
itoryand Cushing's inaugural printed at
the city's expense What was the
necosslty of printing flvo thousand or
even flvo hundred copies ? The mes- >
sages have boon published in the
Omaha dailies and placed in the hands
of nt least thirty thousand constant
nowspupor readers It goes without
saying then that the printing of these
messages is downright waste ot money
But Mr Whcelor is the watch dog of } f
our city treasury , you know ,

Thk decision ot Judge McConulIo .
granting a now trial to Kunzo , ono of
the convicted Cronin mispocts , is
equivalent to his acquittal The jury
practically conceded that ho was not
guilty in making his punishment less
ithan the throe leading culprits , If
iKunzo wns shown to hnvu participated
in the crime for which ho wus tried , ho
deserved a lifo sentence But there
3was iv ronsouablo doubt as to his guilt ,
Ho was merely a tool used by the
conspirators and wns apparently cnnblo
to dlnno their purposes or too ignorant
to realize the enormity of the critno
commlttod ,
Sknatou Fui/Mii is iti the main right
in the position ho takes regarding the
seal fishery lease There doo3 not ap- '
poor to bo any good reason why the
secretary ot the tronsury should pro
scribe that under a new lease not moro
than sixty thousand seals should bo
1takon the first year , the number to bo
thereafter taken to bo as directed by
the secretary This , Mr1 . Plumb ob-
served , if not extraordinary , opunod up
a wide field of conjecture Undoubtedly
the secretary was induced to make this
provision by representations that the
sealH were being killed off too
rapidly under the present arrangement ,
limiting the number to bo taken each
your to ono hundred tnoubaud , but It Is i
important to know the source of his iu-
t - jggMtMMSum iltlli im ii i ynri jMn a . _ _ rLL _
formation It is natural to suppose that
it enmo from the , Alaska commercial
company , for thbiiroposod nrrangomont
would obviously bp very much to the adVantage -
Vantage of that monopoly Senator
Plumb is right in desiring further leg
lslation , so fnr as ( his may bo necessary
in order to break up the monopoly of
the seal fisheries hnd secure better re
turns to the govornmout , but his
plan of confining the taking
and killing of seals , to the natives of
Alaska Is of doubtful wisdom It is an
unquestionable fact that the Alnska
coinraorclal company has made morotl
than a legitimate profit out ot Its prlvlo
logo , nnd there i3 no good roasoa why
that or any ether company should bo
allowed to go on reaping these vast
gains for nnothor twenty years It is
not ( necessary that the govornmout
shall any longer bo a party td such a
monopoly :

year , in Now York and Boston , lions on
the host city property have boon placed
at 1 poreont , 2 per cent less than the
rates ourront in 1800. In other largo
cllios of the union a sim
ilar dccliua is obscrvnblo

territories nnd the financial centers of
tlio nution.thi ) disparity in the rates pay
able on well-socured loans is much lus3
today than it was twenty years ago The
blgiiiflcant point in the mutter under
consideration is not so munh that the
rate ot interest has boon falling as that
interest has become distinctly sepa
rated from the wngos of superinten
dence and thn premium for incurred
risk , which used to bo combined with it

LIFE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Tlio Presidents Family Utter Lack

If the numerous women of America
who crave acbuugoof place with the

weight of responsibility and cx
porionco , says a Washington letter in

door-kcopers , stewards , housc-muids , _
house men , reporters , and the crstwhilo ' a

shaling forces nnd keeping her temper
is greatly to bo admired , for her life is
equal to more than ono horculoau task

the delusion that existence in the white
house is a fairy ball on rose leaves
Why , good people , you could not guess
wider of tlio mark
In the first there is no gaiety Mr
and Mrs President never areopt invita

ited to formal receptions and dinners
The only real oujoymont to bo gleaned
is from impromptu diunors to visiting
