MASSACHUSETTS HIOU LICENSE
Massachusetts , whoso people a foi
months ago defeated constitutional pro
titbtUon by nn overwhelming majority
adds its testimony to tlio good result
of the operation of high license. Th
Massachusetts local option , restrictive
ilgh license law wont into effect Ma
1 , and in its general .provisions it i
ono of the most rigid acts of the kini
n the United States. It has boo
strictly enforced , nnd the result
n sixteen license cities are in
.oresting and instructive. It i
shown by official figures thn
ilio aggregate number of saloons i
these cities has decreased nearly slxt
[ ) or cent , while the revenue obtalne
lias very materially incrcnsod. Las
year the sixteen cities contained a ( e <
moro than three thousand saloons
about one-half of which were in Bostor
and they paid into the public troosuric
a little over ono million dollars. A
present these cities have but a few mot
than twelve hundred saloons , whic
have contributed to the public rovonut
a million nnd a half dollars.
The significance of Boston's oxpoi
ionco with the new law is cspcciall
striking. It is stated that since th
law wont into operation whole streets i
Boston have changed their charactc
for the bettor , and places which wet
formerly the refuge of the worst oh
monts of the city's ' population no longc
exist. In this and the other cities th
licensed liquor sellers very general !
carefully conform to the requirement
of the law as to selling to intoxicate
persons and minors , closing at the spot
Ifiod hour , nnd on Sunday , nnd other in
portnnt provisions , and the olTcct :
that there is far loss drunket
ness soon than formerly. Excor ,
in two or thrco of those citie
whore the temperance sentiment is r
its lowest point , in tlio state , the poUc
concur in slating that it has never be
fore been so easy a matter to keep o
fcctlvo watch of the saloons. The la
is evaded by some of the least roputabl
hotel keepers , but the better class hnv
for two or throe months refused to son
liquors or wines except to actual guest
and thentonly in their rooms. The soi
rotary of' the Boston law and ordt
league states that it is now' ' impossibl
to llnd a saloon open in that city o
Sunday , and the sarao is true of all bt
two or three of the other cities.
The Boston Advertiser says the law
proving the most successful oxporimoi
over entered upon by the people <
Massachusetts in their endeavors I
cope with the liquor trallle. Statistic
relative to tlio increase or doorcase i
drunkenness it is impossible to obtai
at present , but it has boon cloarl
demonstrated that the law has groatl
restricted the sale of liquor and worke
a most important reform in the condui
of licensed saloons. A noteworthy fa <
is that no actual opposition to the la
is developed anywhere , even the 02
tromo temperance leaders showing
disposition to give the law a fair trii
in this respect , setting a commendabl
oxamnlo to such loaders in other state
having high liconso. In all respoc
the testimony supplied by the thrc
months' experience of Massachusot
with its local option , high license la
will bo in the highest degree satisftv
tory to the friends everywhere of tin
policy , and is a very striking and sul
stantial argument in its support.
CARLISLE IN MEXICO.
The distinguished attention which i
being shown ox-Speakor Carlisle I
Mexico will bo gratifying to the ontir
American people. It is a roassurin ;
evidence of the friendly regard of th
authorities and people of Mexico fo
the people 'of the tjnitod States , and i
ia alike our interest and theirs that thi
spirit should be encouraged and cult
vatod. Mr. Carlisle is worthy of th
consideration that is being extended i
him. Ho is u reprcsentativo America
citizen , who as speaker of th
house of representatives , three time
chosen , illlod honorably a positio
of dignity and power second in irapor
anco and responsibility only to that (
the presidency. Regardless of politic
differences , all fair-minded men wi
concede to Mr. Carlisle a high order <
ability , candor and fairness in the di
cussion of political issues , a just and n <
equate appreciation of the duties ar
obligations of olfcial position , and ut
questionable patriotism. The attont'o
shown him in the neighboring ropubli
is more than a personal compl
merit. The courtesy extends to a
his countrymen , and the splr
that prompts it will bo reciprocated 1
ail of them.
The intercourse of Mr. Carlisle wit :
the statesmen and people of Mexlc
ought to bo productive of good result
It ought to do much to give the Mox
can people a hotter impression tha
they perhaps have regarding the teeing
ing and disposition of the United Stati
respecting the rotations that shou !
subsist between the two republic
Thcro is reason to believe that 01
neighbors are somewhat distrustful i
usand perhaps not entirely without rei
sou. The earnest disposition shown I
Mexico within recent years , and parti
ularly since the Diaz administrate
came in , to cultivate closer trade rol ;
tions with the United States , has m
boon mot by this country in a way
encourage the Mexicans to believe th |
wo are particularly solicitous to oxter
our commerce in that direction. Wit
the oxcaptlon of a moro liberal arrang
inont for the transmission of tnorchn
disc by mail between the two conn trio
the United States has not for yea
done anything to promote bott <
commercial relations between the tv
countries. There Is an nltogothi
groundless fochng in Mexico , also , th
this country covets a portion of her to
ritory , and that thoro. is a largo uumbi
of people here who seriously hope fi
the conquest of Mexico at some pork
in the not remote future. Ono of h
most prominent statesmen diacussi
this matter some months ago in i
American magazine , with a view
showing the American people that th
should allow Mexico to remain a sist
republic. What Mr. Carlisle has t
ready said to the Mexican po
pie waa designed to die
buao their minds of su >
erroneous impressions and to assu
them of the friendly fooling and doslr
of the American people. In this ho re
fleeted the nearly universal sontimon
of his countrymen.
The extension of the trade of th
United States with nil American cour
trios is a growing necessity , and Mos
ice offcrod a field hardly loss valuabl
than than that of any other of thos
countries , She Is favorably disposed t
cultivate bolter business relations wit
us , and wo should glvo all proper 011
courngomont to that disposition
remembering that there is a tr <
tnomlous competition for the trade <
Mexico which will ho overcome only h
a very liberal policy on our pari
England , Germany nnd Franco are actively
ivoly contesting for commercial sunrou
aoy in Mexico , nnd these will fight vlf
orously every effort looking to the or
largomont of tlio commerce botwoo
the United States and Mexico. Thi
formidable opposition will not bo oasil
overcome , but the visit to Mexico of
prominent a representative of this coui
try as Mr. Carlisle , although simply r
a private citizen , can hardly fail to hav
n favorable o fleet.
HOW 'JO INVESTIGATE.
The board of police commlBsionoi
have given out to the reporters of th
press that their functions are judicii
and therefore they cannot properly 01
tor upon the investigation of charge
against the members of the police fore
or lire department unless complaint
lilcd in duo form in writing by some re
sponsible citizen.
This assumption on the part of tli
commission is not woll-groundodl Th
police commission is an executive bed ;
It has the power to npnoint an
dismiss any member of the polk
force from the chief down 1
patrolman. In the _ discharge <
those executives functions they inc
dentally are clothed with powc
to investigate the conduct of their ni
pointcos , nnd to send for persons an
papers that will enable thorn to ascoi
tain what , if any , abuses may exist i
the department over which they hav
supervision.
When sitting as a board of inqulr
the commission does , in a measure , on ]
exercise judicial powers , but its ii
qulrios are not circumscribed by an
rules of a court of law. They have
right to nsk any question they pleas
and draw out of any witness whntovt :
information ho may possess , whether
be of his own knowledge or by hearsa ;
Like liny court of inquiry the commissio
is expected to go to the bottom of tli
subject or complaint , regard'essof tecl
nicalitios or lawyers' quibbles. An
other procedure would bo a farce. Th
conduct of a member of the police c
fire department cannot bo properly in
vestigated if the cede of criminal pn
codure is to be enforced in the inquir ;
The officer may not bo guilty of a crimi
or even a misdemeanor , and yet h
conduct may bo such as to render hii
unlit for the proper exercise of polic
functions.
It is simply preposterous for the con-
mission to demand that specif !
charges shall bo filed again :
individual policemen whencvc
abuses are complained of throug
the press. It is the business of liv
newspapers to publish the news. It i
the duty of editors to expose and d <
nouuco abuses of official authority an
call attention of officials to the miscon
duct of subordinates. It is nol the dut
or province of editors to file complaint
against anybody who bdtrays a nubl
trust or oversteps the bounds of h
authority as an official. Editors are m
public prosecutors , nor are they o :
pectod to go before courts , coinmii
sioners and city councils as sucl
They may bo cited before courts i
capacity of witnesses and required 1
produce proofs of their allegations , bi
they are not expected to bo liuitod t
giving facts only that are within tli
range of personal knowledge. Edltoi
and reporters cannot bo on the sp <
whenever a policeman transgresses tl
rules or commits an unwarranted assaul
If the commission expects to wait unt
editors prefer charges in person the
will only convince the public that the
are either trying to shirk a respons
bility or do not consider the abuses con
plained of as deserving attention at the :
hands.
EDISON.
King Humbert of Italy honored hi it
self moro than ho did Thomaa A. Ed
son in presenting the distinguish !
electrician with an insignia that cat
rios with it the title of count. It is n <
at all likely that the eminent apostle c
science , who is ono of the most mode ;
and unpretentious of men , will ov <
employ the empty title as a prolix. /
an American citizen , proud of his n :
tiunality , ho doubtless has as littl
respect for foreign titles as the gron
majority of his intelligent coui
trymon , nnd as plain Mr. Ed
son his fame is as seem
as it would bo if he permitted hunso
to bo called Count Edison posibl
moro so , just as the world thinks bottt
of Mr. Gladstone for having declined
title , But in tlio way of kings , Ilur.
bert has shown in the strongest way 1
could , his appreciation of the grei
achievements of the distlnguishc
American eloctrioian , and from th
point of view the presentation Is to 1
regarded as a marked honor.
This circumstance suggests the fa
that Edison has saved the America
exhibit at the Paris exposition froi
being an almost complete failure. N'
only is his electrical exhibit the fine
over made , but It is said to bo by far tl
most attractive feature of the expo :
tion , getting moro attention both fro
the general visitors and from scientil
investigators than any other , and wit
out it the American portion of the o
position would bo of lUtlo , consequonc
Thus Thomas A. Edison has done
very great service for his country , at :
undoubtedly the knowledge of this , at
ol the fact that it is duly appreciate
by hia countrymen , is vastly moro gral
tying to him than would bo the 1 >
etowal of a score of titles from as mat
of the potentates of Europo.
Tim negotiations with the Cher
keos of the Indian territory for tl
opening of the Cherokee strip has hoi
deferred until the first of Octoberwin
the terms as proposed by the gover
went will bo laid before the Chorok
congross. ThQ task before the com
missioners la of a far different oharnc
tor from that pursued by the Sioux com
mission. The Cherokees nro by n
monns savages or half clvlllzod. The (
are to nil intent nnd purpose equally n
intelligent as white men. They Imv
n regularly constituted government
constitution , congress , courts nu
officials modelled after the go\
ornmont of the United states
The negotiations for the sal
of their lands will consequently pas
through constitutional and legal motli
ods before they can bo ratified or re
jocted. In other words , the Unlto
Statca stand in very much the naino re
lation to the Chorokcos and Choctaw
of the Indlnn territory na this countr ,
would stand to Mexico or Canada i
treating for n cession of territory by pui
chnso. Under such circumstances th
government cannot proceed in nn nrb !
trary manner against these Indian
should they reject the propo :
als. Treaties oxlst between th
government and the Indian
which can neither bo violated no
set aside by the commission or by cor
gross without reflecting seriously on th
nation's ' honor. The imlouondonco c
the Chcrokccs , their wealth and the !
disinclination to part with their land
demand the greatest diplomacy in tron
ing with them. Unless they can li
mudo to see that the opening ot th
Cherokee strip will bn to their advani
ago politically and materially , it is no
likely they will bo in a hurry to accept
copt the government's terms of pui
chuso.
THK rich iron deposits known to oxis
in Wyoming and Colorado have re
colved some attention of late from onsl
orn capitalists. This region , however
is still comparatively unknown , an
mining operators are unacquaintci
with the great possibilities awaitingdc
voloptncnt. The iron industries of th
west are in about the same stage of dc
vclopmont as the mines of northern Al
nbama were ton years ago. Now alarg
amount of capital is invested in All
bama's iron mines and continues t
pour in so long as the resources of thn
country promise so well. However , i
is merely a question of a short timi
when the iron deposits of the Rock ;
mountains will be converted into pi |
iron , and that will come with the ini
proved methods of transportation troi
the mines to the smelters.

If your carpet looks dingy and you wish to restore its
colors to their original freshness , use Ivory Soap and tepid
water ; apply with a scrubbing brush ; use very little water
so as not to saturate the carpet. After scrubbing lightly ,
rub the carpet with a cloth ; wet frequently with clear
water so as to lake up the dirt and soap ; wring out the
cloth thoroughly before wetting it again ,
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be "just as good as the1 Ivory' ) "
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits ! lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine , Ask for " Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.
