Boston Journal ! Many ( rood citizens ,
who have voted together upon locixl pro
hibition as involved in the aiinu.il vote
lor no 'license , parted company upon
this-issno. For this reason tlio vote in
favor of the amendment can not justly
bo taken as an index t'o the tomponuico
eontitnont of the state. For this rea
son , also , the defeat of the amendment
can not rationally bo interpreted as a
blow at toinporAiico. It is only iv ques
tion of method which was settled in the
election' the broader underlying ques
tion of orinciplo is undisturbed , and \vo
look to see a continued growth in the
forces which make for sobriety , good
order and the thorough enforcement of
restrictive laws. The advocates of the
amendment will not complain that they
have not had fair play. The plcdpo
which the republican party made to sub
mit the question to the people has been
made good by the concurrent action of
two successive legislatures. The day
fixed for the vote was ono ngrooablo to
the advocates of the amendment. The
campaign In their interests has been
ably organized and pushed with vigor ,
skill and intelligence.
St. Paul Globe : All the Now Eng
land states have tried prohibition , and
foUr of the six have within the past
month or two pronounced jt unsatisfac
tory fnnd refubed to hnvo it in the con
stitution. Now Hampshire and Massa
chusetts have had votes of the people
adverse , and Rhode Island and Con
necticut have legislatures opposed. The
latter by a narrow vote refused to sub
mit the amendment. Maine and Ver
mont worry Along with the law , but the
people have become adepts in its evas
ion. To the average vision it would
seem that the virtue ot Law to restrain
thovicious appetite for drink by put
ting its satisfaction out of reach is pith
less , but thoip who have a theory In the
grip of conscience will pust right on re
gardless of results. Ono of them finds
cheer in the redaction that disaster is a
wholesome test of faith , and that it is
the darkest just before tno break of day.
Kansas City Times : Prohibitionists
cannot attribute the tremendous ma
jority to the preponderance of the igno
rant vote , for there is as much intelli
gence in Massachusetts in proportion to
the population as in any other state in
the union a Massachusetts man could
not be induced to admit that there was
not more per capita than in any other
two or three states. Thcjre is only ono
explanation of the vote ami the prohi
bitionists can scarcely help realizing it.
Tlio mass of the people do not believe in
prohibition as a principle or in its
practical workings. They have watched
its workings in the states in which it
has been tried , and they are convinced
that it is not a success.
Denver Republican : Several years
ago it looked as though the prohibition
ists stood a good chance of securing a
general adoption of their policy in re
spect to the liquor tratlic. But the pros
pect before them is not so bright now.
The defeat of prohibition in Texas and
Tennessee hurt their cause in the south.
Their success , in so far as the adoption
of the amendment in Rhode Island was
concerned , and the subsequent failure
to enforce the law , hurt them in the
north. Now comes their defeat in
Massachusetts to increase their dis
couragement. They will , probably , bo
defeated in Pennsylvania also.
Denver News : The recent votes in
Now Hampshire and Rhode Islandwith
the result in Massachusetts , which may
be accepted as an omen of the Pennsyl
vania struggle that will bo decided in
June , ought to suggest to prohibition
ists a suspicion that in the present tem
per of the American people their plan
of lighting the liquor tralllc may not bo
the most eillcient. If prohibition can
not bo sustained in Now England what
hope is there of extending it over the
country ? True , Maine clings to it , but
the results there nro far from satisfac
tory. The courage of the most zealous
prohibitionists would yield before the
news from Massachusetts , but that Kan
sas and Iowa remain as props of sup
port. Yet those states otl'er the key tone
no general result , as the proportion of
agricultural to town and city population
is unusually largo , while it is known
that at the populous points of both the
liquor trallie continues to bo surrepti
tiously carried on. In borne instances
the trade defies any pretense of conceal
ment , as in Keokulc , la. , whore the sa
loons are conducted as openly as in Now
York city.
Chicago Inter-Ocean : There is a
growing conviction on the part of tem
perance people that prohibition on a
etato bculo is a mistake , that it only
makes a bad matter worse in cities , anil
has no advantage over local option in
rural towns. This conviction is gradu
ally permeating' the ranks of those who
wore once a unit in favor of prohibition.
The irrational attempt to develop a na
tional issue out of prohibition was so
destitute- good judgment that it set a
good many people to thinking that
propositions which they had been ac
customed to accept axioniatically wore
really open to discussion. Once get
ting their thinking caps on they wore
them to some purpose in an examination
into the A'isdom of a prohibition which ,
while it did not prohibit , prevented re-
htriction , and so , in the and , amounted
to free trade in whisky , pin other
words , Massachusetts but down on pro
hibition , not to give freer range to the
liquor tralllc , but because the more
t-oiibiblu citizens think that every feasi
ble protection should be airordod so
ciety against the evils of intemperance.
Minneapolis Tribune : The recent
general election was a marked indica
tion of the decadence of prohibition as
a political ithue. The vote in New
Hampshire and Massachusetts , and the
almost certain result in Pennsylvania ,
emphasize the approaching death of
the prohibition party , it will soon go
the way of all third parties. History
has demonstrated that there is room la
this country tor two great parties only ,
and that the people are pretty evenly
divided on the lines which separate
them. The recent vote on prohibition
emphasizes this fact.
Now York Herald : Wo hope the pro
hibitionists will accept the result se
renely. It will never do to declare that
Massachusetts Is "a rum old btato , " or
that she is soaked in bad whisky and is
on the down-hill track that ends in
perdition. There is a strong tendency
in human nature to use expletives
about a man who doesn't agree with
you. These down east folk believe in
temperance from their shoo strings to
their hair , and though they manufac
ture a good quality of Medford rum.
they send most of it to Now York and
the west. But they nro not willing to
enact a law which is useless , because it
can'i fce enforced never has been on
nny 'wot on the glebe , and won't bo
until the millennium strikes us. Wear
ar \ rather inclined to think that the
Bnystntols lovol-hcndcdon this sub
ject. '
Now York Times : The prohibition
amendment has been defeated in Mas
sachusetts by a majority of nearly
40,000. Boston gave a majority against
it of about 20,000 , and in nearly all the
cities the adverse vote was very de
cided , that of Salem being almost the
only exception. Several of these are
places which under local option sustain
the prohibition policy for themselves.
This shows that tlio sentiment in favor
of constitutional prohibition does not
correspond at all to that in favor of
rigid restrictive legislation. It Is prob
ably not so strong as that for statutory
prohibition , but there i9 every reason
to bollovo that the temperance senti
ment la generally favorable to n policy
of high license and local option , and
that policy will bo promoted by the de
feat of prohibition. The subject has
undergone a thorough agitation in
Massachusetts , which is likely to result
in benefit to the temperance cause.
Chlengd Ilornld : Bv a largo majority
Massachusetts has doleatod the prohi
bition amendment to Its constitution.
The campaign has been exciting , and
oven bitter , and a hotter contest has
not been known in that state since the
slavery issue. The whole common
wealth was moved , and never before
wore the temperance men and the nntl-
tomperonco men so well organized to
meet each other at the noils. The re
sult has boon an ovciwhelming defeat
for the temperance men. The people
have decided the question after the
methods appointed for them to make
decisions , and when they have decided
it should be an end of the matter.
Chicago Times : The explanation of
repealed recent failure to secure popu
lar indorsement at the ballot-box of the
plan of the prohibitionists will bo
found , probably , in the fact that a prac
tical people mindful of Individual
rights and the hopelessness of accom
plishing reforms in men's habits by
drastic statutes are content with the
improvements made by most of the
states in the laws regulatory ol dram-
shops. Local option obtains exten
sively , high license is general , munici
pal regulation is stricter and moro di
rect. This much having boon achieved ,
there is an unwillingness to go any fur
ther , especially when to go further
may mean to faro worse. Tlio sturdy
common sense of the country is con
tent.
tent.Chicago
Chicago Tribune : At present any
community that wants prohibition can
have it. It is only a question of public
sentiment , and no paper law can con
trol the individual appetite in a com
munity whore the sentiment of the ma
jority is against it. Prohibition can
only go by moral conviction , and moral
conviction is not to bo had under com
pulsion. Under the existing law , which
will now remain undisturbed for a long
time to come , the practical temperance
men of Massachusetts will continue
their worlc by restrictive measures ,
whore prohibition can not be enforced ,
and secure excellent results , while
those communities which want prohib
ition , and have sulllcient strength to
enforce it , can obtain it at any time.
Cincinnati Enquirer : For the third
time , this spring , a Now England state
has recorded the verdict of its people
against what is called prohibition.
First came New Hampshire , whose
close " . ( Unity to Maine led the prohib
itionists to bo sanguine of success. They
wore badly beaten. Then came little
Rhode Island , with similar expecta
tions and a like result.
Yesterday the greatest of the Now
England slates. Massachusetts , voted
upon a constitutional amendment in
terms as follows :
"Tho manufacture and sale of intoxi
cating liquors to bo used as a hoverago
are prohibited. The general court
shall enact suitable legislation to * en
force the provisions of tlrisiarticle. "
The proposition was overwhelmingly
defcalcd. It did not have even a third
of. the popular vote in its support.
There would seem to ' 10 a profound
lesson in the course which Now Eng
land has of late pursued on. this solemn
question. Prohibition had its birth
thoro. Prohibition has failed thero.
The people have lost faith lin it. They
are now for high license i and regula
tion.
It looks as if prohibition wore doomed.
FARM NOTES.
The Skim It. n H nil Entomologist.
The much despised skunk , says Viek ,
is a good entomologist , and the farmer
and gardner make a great mistake in
nersecuting and doslroyingthis humble
lilllo animal. The few eggs ho pur
loins from the farmer's hen yard very
poorly compensate for the great number
of noxious insects ho destroys. In May
he is sometimes seen about sundown
on some elevated spot watching for the
May beetle as ho wheels his droning
flight , and ho saves him , too , not in the
sense spoken of in the immortal elegy ,
but between his teeth. He will sit tin
hour at a time gathering in the de
structive beetles. Ho is a persistent
hunter , and in his nocturnal rambles
moves along with his nose close to the
ground. His sense of smell is so acute
that no insect , not a larva , above the
ground or below , can cscnpa him ; his
eyes now glow with unusual brilliancy
as ho scans every loaf and branch for
the hidden prey. About tobacco plan
tations hiu services in destroying the
tobacco worms are considered valuable.
Dccl Sugar in Cnlifnrniii.
Tno Watson villo sugar factory , of
California , owned by Mr. Claus Spreck-
les , publishes the following statement
of its business last year :

Boots , if properly managed , yield
from eight to twelve tons per acre in
the west. Tne crops on the 0'nlifornla
farms hist year yielded from 810 to J15U
per acre. America will yet make its
own sugar , but it will bo made by fac
tories with a largo capital , and IB prac
ticable in no other way. Wo should
like to take a contract to raise beets

stead.
hymplorrH orOlandcru ,
The question is frequently asked as
the symptoms of glanders , says the
Western Horseman. Hero they are , as
given by that eminent veterinarian ,
Dr. Laws : Langor , dry * staring coat
and red weeping eyes , impaired appe
tite , accelerated pulbo and breathing ,
yellowish rod and purple streaks or
patches in the nose , vrulprv nubal dis
charge , with sometimes painful dropsi
cal swelling of the limbs and joints.
Soon the nasal dow becomes yellow and
sticky , causing the hairs and skin of the
nostrils to udheio together , and upon
the mucous mombiMiie appear yellow
elevations with red spots , passing into
erosions and deep ulo rs of Irregular
form and varied color , and with little
or no tendency to heal. The lymphatic
glandTiiibido the lowu jaw , where the
pulse is felt , become enlarged , hard
and nodular like a r ass of peas or
bfuns , ana urn o nsi ally firmly ad
herent to the skit , th tonguoortho
jawbone. The lyu ] .ha Ics of the moo
often rise as fine cords. An occasional
cough Is hoard and osculation detects
crepitation and wheezing in the chest.
The ulcers increase in number and
depth , often invading the gristle , and
oven the bone , the elands also become
enlarged , but remain hard and nodular ,
the discharge becomes bloody , fetid
and so abundant and tenacious as to
threaten or accomplish snlTocr.tion , and
the animal perishes in great distress.
lingua I'
The extreme western states and ter
ritories have bcon compelled to enact
laws to protect their citizens against
bogus pedigrees , says the Iowa Home
steader. Montana has a good law which
makes it quite unsafe to sell grade stock
on the pretense that it is entitled to
registry. A bill to the same effect has
boon introduced in the Colorado legis
lature.
This is right. There ought to bo
similar laws in every state in the union.
In former years wo nave known farmers
to insist on the purchase of choice
grade bulls or other stock which the
brooders thought not good enough to
keep up the register , and no sooner had
the stock loft the farm than it became
thoroughbred and entitled to registry.
The line cannot bo drawn too closely
between pedigreed stock and stock not
entitled to registry , no matter how ex
cellent.
_
A Gattlo CoiiHtia.
Wo BOO It staled in a dispatch from
Washington that the secretary of agri-
culluro is considering the propriety of
instructing the various state statistical
agents to report the number of entile on
hand , on feed , etc. , and thus arrive at
the oxael facts as \vhclhor the num
ber of cattle is increasing or dccronsing.
This is a very important matter to the
farmers of the west and wo hope it will
bo done at once , says the Iowa Home
stead. At our suggestion the necessity
of a census of this kind was brought be
fore the St. Louis convention lasl March
and received the endorsement of that
body. The department of ngrlculluro
has roporlors over the entire country ,
and with a little extra time and care
can obtain a census of cattle that will
bo practically correct. When that re
port is made , values of catllo will adjust
themselves at once. If it should ap
pear that cattle slocks are , notwrUi-
stan cling the great numbers marketed ,
still increasing with population , then
the present prices must bo accepted as
normal. If , on the other hand , it should
appear that there is a decrease in she
cattle , and in yearlings and two-year-
olds , and a surplus only in feeders and
fat catllc , prices for all except fat cat
tle would advance rapidly. What wo
want to know is the actual facts.
Llstinc Corn.
Listing corn is becoming moro popu
lar than over with our farming com
munity says the Spring ( Nob. ) Monitor.
The experience of Ihosc who have
planted corn by this method during
previous years , has proved that method
to bo far superior to any other. Our
implement men are complaining that
the general adoption of the lister has
cut their sales to a very considerable
extent , because where formerly a farmer
had to buy a plow , cheek rower and
planter , ho now needs only a lister and
drill which in most cases are combined ,
nnd cost only a little more than a com
mon plow. It is consequently a saving
to ho farmer besides having many
other advantages over the old corn
planter.

DBS Moixci , la. , April 2'J , | Special to
Tin : Hiu.J : Tlio case of the city of Kort ,
DoUpo against the Hock Inland railroad , to
compel it to build and operate six miles of
tr.iclc from Tura to Fort Dodge , bids fair to
become a celebrated case , and is or public
ntcrest for the precedent involved. There
was originally u land grant of ' 100,003 awes
made for the purpose of bulldingu road from
ICeokuk , ui > the valley of tno DCS Molncs
river to some point northwest of DCS Moiiios.
Afterwards 1100,000 acres of the grant were
sot aside for the portion of the road to DCS
Moiios : , and the 100,000 were to bo used for
the road from DCS Moiacs to Fort Dodge. It
was stipulated In tho' grant that llio road
should be built to a point on the cast bank of
the DCS Moines river. The road was in duo
time built to Tnr < ) , on the west side of the
river ( about slxmilos troui Fort Dodge ) , and
thence east to the point designated in the
grant. The road was put la operation , and
the 100.000 acres were received and sold by
the company. Afterwards , when the com
pany extended its line north towards Hutli-
von , it auandoncd the piece of reid between
Tara and Fort Dodge , and made arrange
ments to run Its trams into the latter city
over the line of the Illinois Central. The
station of Tara. originally u mile or more
south of the Illinois crossing with tlio Hock
Island , was moved to the point of crossing.
The people of Fort Dodge submitted to tno
new arrangement for some time , bat finally
concluded to nrotest. They \vantcd the val
ley road and its successors to operate a line
ovnr their own track to Fort Dodge , and not
go around by way of the Illinois Central.
Ono thing that they aldn't like was the fact
that through trains from Dos Moines to
Huthvon went directly north throutrh Tara ,
and did not diverge tliu six. miles to Fort
Dodge , thus making their town a sort
of a branch station. Thcv finally
lodged formal complaint with the
railroad commlBsioiiers and the latter made
reply some weeks ago. The reply was rather
peculiar , holding on the ono side that the
railroad company was bound to rim Its line
into Fort Dodge as nil independent line , and
on the other side , saying that it would bo a
needless hardship to compel the company to
build the six miles of track at a cost of
& ( i5,00 ( ) , and operate it at n cost of $7,000 a
year , so long as the company gave the town
as good servlco by using the Illinois Central
trade for that short distance. The decision
seemed to be a victory lor both parties , uml
the city concluded to demand a rehearing ,
and to ask that thn commissioners follow out
thcl ogie of their position and compel the
compuny to build and operate its own track
from Tnra to Fort Dodge. The commis
sioners have taken the case under advise-
incut , after hearing both sides. Hut the fact
that the nresont company operating the road
hud nothing 10 do with the old road nnu its
contract , nwv still further complicate matters -
tors , and muko the case moro celebrated before -
fore it is finally decided.
