A LESSOX FIIOM MASSACHUSETTS
The people ot Massachusetts lust year
ovorwholmlngly dotcatod the proposi
tion to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor in that state by constitu
tional ninendmont For many yours
the state has had n license and local
option taw , and the rosulU ot 1U oper
ation have boon so satisfactory that
popular sotilimont by a very largo ma
jority decided to ndhoro to it How
well this law has worked In restricting
the llnuor traffic is shown by facts pro
sotitcd in the message of Governor
Brnckolt ot Massachusetts
Under the existing law the sale ot in
toxicating liquor is absolutely pro
hibited In nil the towns and elites ot
the state except these whoso cltizons
rote to liccuso such sale Last year , of
the throe hundred and flfty-ono towns
and cities in the state , two
hundred and oighty-oight voted
against and only slxty-threo In
favor ot license , and the governor says
if the towns rote litis year the same as
last , there will bo absolute prohibition
in oror four-fifths of the cities and towns
of the common wealth And this prohibi
tion is complete and effective In the
communities which , decide ngninst
licensing the sale ot liquor there is no
liquor sold The will ot the people Is
respected , and enforced , and not evaded
and doteatcd as is done In the prohi
bition states No joints , " "spcak-
casys" and bootleggers carry on an
illicit trafHo tu the Massachusetts com
munities which refuse to license the
sale of liquors Furthermore , in the
comparatively few towns aim oltlos voting
ing to grant licenses the governor
ornor says the restrictive feat
ures ot the law ninko it largely
prohibitory Under the limitation act
ot 18SS only ono license can bo granted
in Boston for every five hundred in
habitants , and in other cities and towns
only ono for ono thousand Salc3 in
these towns and cities are prohibited
between the hours of cloven ut night
and six in the morning on every wools
( lav , at all times during the Sabbath ,
on all election days and on legal holi
days , except in certain cases by drug
gists and by licensed inuholdcrs
to the It * guests They are pro
hibited hi any building within
four hundred feet of a public school ,
and in any building within twcnty-flvo
feet of any real estate the owner of
which duly Objects to the granting of a
license thcrofor Bvory license to sell
liquor to be drunk on the premises is
subject to the condition that the licensee
shall not keep a public bar , una shall
hold a license as an innholder or com
mon victualler , and this latter ho is
not entitled to hold unlos.3 actually
carrying on the business specified The
governor says the obvious intent of the
law is to do away with the
dram shop and the public bar , and
to confine the sale of liquor to
bo drunk on the premises to hotels and
restaurants
The result is actual prohibition in
ever eighty-two i > or cent of the towns
and cities of Massachusetts , while in
these communities where a majority of
public bontimont authorizes the sale of
liquor it must bo carried on under reg
ulations and restrictions which reduce
the evils from it to the minimum The
operation ol tins law lias been dis
tinctly in the interest of ton
peranco , the facts showing that
absolute prohibition is moro general in
Massachusetts now than when the state
had a prohibitory law and went through
the same experience that other states
have had with such n law The prac
tical lesson which the trcatmont of the
liquor question in Massachusetts fur
nishes is obvious While inthe prohibi
tion states of Iowa and Kansas liquor
selling is openly carried on in soma
towns and cities without any control
or restriction una an illicit trallic widely
prevails , it being safe to say that
there is not complete prohi
bition in one-half the towns
of either state , inMassachusottsoighty-
two per cent of the towns and cities are
absolutely free fi'om the trallic in
liquors , and in the other eighteen per
cout the business is carefully rogulatca
and pays roundly for its privilege It
is a striking oxnmplo of the superiority
of local sof-govcrnniont , as to this ques
tion , over the attempted exercise of
state authority in local alluirs
A DISCOMFITED UTATESMAX
The'ofTort of Senate * Vroorhecs of In-
dinna to make political capital for him
self dr his party out of the alleged
Dudley letter , which was thrust upon
the country lute in the last presidential
campaign as evidence ot a corrupt
scheme on the part of the republican
national committee to carry Indiana ,
does not premise to be lurgoly profitable
In fact , it may bo Enid to have already
failed Mr Voorhces affected to believe
thatbocnuso the United States district
nttornoy at Indianapolis did not procure
the arrest of Cnlonol Dudley , the alleged -
logod author of the blocks of live
letter , on the occasion of his recent
visit to that city , ho had probably boon
instructed not to do so by the depart
ment of justloo at Washington , and ho
introduced in the sonnto a resolution
calling upon the attorney general for
information as to whothcr there had
boon any correspondence rognrditig
this matter botweop his department
mid the district nttornoy at Indianap
olis
olis.On
On this resolution Mr Veer
hocs made ono of his char
acteristic sjlaochos , which was
responded to by Senator Edmunds In a
way that dlsposod ot the Indiana sonu-
tor almost as thoroughly as had been
done on a previous occasion by Senator
Ingalls The 6onate , however , rery
properly passed the resolution , in an
amended form , and it appears to hare
been very promptly forwarded to the
attorney geuoral At rtuy rate , that
olllclul has already responded to It with
the Information that the dis
trict attorney at Indianapolis had
received no Instructions , oral
or written , on the subject of
the arrostol Dudley , and that no com
munication had boon sent to him or re
ceived from Mm by the department of
justlco , directly or indirectly , with
reforoneo to the subject Thus the
Indiana statesman is utterly discomfited
in his 111st onset , und there will bo soma
iuterest to know what next ho will do ,
for lie will hardly permit lilmsolf to bo
thus easily nnd summnrily vanquished
There has boon a great deal
said in the domocratio press
from time to time regarding
this alleged Dudley letter as seriously
rofloct'ng upon the republican man
ngors of the last prosidontlnl campaign ,
nnd it would perhaps bo well if the
mystery could bo cleared up by nn In
vestigation But it should bo uorno in
mind , ns was pointed out by Senator
Edmunds , that n domocratio Unltod
States district nttornoy had ntnplo llmo
in winch to do this , with certainly every
incontlvo to do so it the result would bo
damaging to the republican manngcrs
and party , and lits failure to
take any proceedings warrants the in
ference that after sifting and preparing
the evidence "hosaw , "ns Mr Edmunds
oxprcssod it , such a flood of light that
ho did not enro to linvo nny hand in the
business and resigned " That , light
was doubtless a conviction Uyit the letter -
tor was a forgery , which unquestionably
the great majority of intelligent donio-
eratat ) leastoutsldoof Indiana , believe
it to have been

Where Is the guaranty that the city's

ClmlTeo on the floor ? Do figs grow

A year ago Mr Chnffco was an un
known quantity Outsldo of the very
narrow circle in which ho moved as a
lumber broker nobody know anything
about htm He had never boon promi
nently connected with nny Omaha enterprise -
torpriso and had done nothing to entitle
him to prominence Now he is a man
with a record As a mombcr of the
council during the pa3t year ho has

Chaffee's methods in the chair tire to be
a duplicate of his serpentine ways in
committee work ho will boar watching
But our amiable contemporary always
has been , nnd always will bo , consist
ently inconsistent On Tuesday last
Broatch was hold up in one column as
a model for all our future majors , and
praised to the skies as a mnn of ster

Tiik decision of the state board ot
transportation in the Elmwood olevntor
case i3 eminently just and equitable
The attorneys of the Missouri Pacific
have not attempted to controvert the
stnto ot facts shown at the original
hearing They merely deny the right
of the board to interfere in the prom
ises This has been exploded so often
in the courts that the repetition of the
throat to appeal is solely for the pur
pose of delaying action In the present
instance the Farmers alliance rebelled
against the elevator combine and do-
manccd the right to build nn elevator
of their own on the company's grounds
on equal terms with those in existence
The company refused , but the state
board of transportation decided that the
farmers are entitled to the privilege
To deny them that right would have
placed them at the mercy of the olc-
rater monopoly The opposition to the
order is not inspired so much by the
railroads ashy the inside rings of ofli-
oitils , who are largely interested in
maintaining the power and profits of
the elevators now in existence If the
monopoly is disturbed by a competitor
controlled by the producers , the rail
road will not suffer , but the inside
cliques will bo touched in a tender spot
their pockctbook This is the reason
why the railroad olliclals rush to the
assistance of the elevators , nnd attempt
to coerce shippers to patroimo favored
concerns • Tin : Bik is confident that
the ardor of the board will bo affirmed
if brought before the supreme court
"Tun Omaha packing interest , " says
the Chicago 2'n 'biqie , "is now able to
nppreciato the raluo of the old saying
that what is sauce for the geese is
sauce for the gander It built up an
nctivo business by dint of Securing a
heavy frolght discrimination , in com
mon with other Missouri rlvor points ,
as against Chlcupo " The lYibUnc mag
nifies a mole hill into a mountain The
discrimination against Chicago is more
imaginary than real On" the contrary ,
Chicago has prospered and grown fat on
railroad discrimination , and not until
the Missouri river cities re
belled and demanded commercial free
dom did the railroads grant them equal
rights and rates with Chicago Now
the Chicago porker squouls hocauso Its
rivals are strong enough to enforce
tholr rights The decay of Chicago as
a stock market and packing coqtor is
in accord with the laws ot trade , which
impel all ludustrlos to follow the source
of supply Chicago wrested the pack
ing industry from Cincinnati It is
now shitting to the Missouri river , and
no amount of lamentation or mlRropre-
Bontntlun can alter the fact The as
sertion that Omaha is out in the cold is
absurd Omaha's position as third
packing center of the country cannot bo
disturbed by the envious walls of
Chicago
Tun state department is said to be
again agitating for a removal ot the
embargo placed ou American meats by
Franco and Germany It was under
stood to have boon a part of the in
structions of our ministers to these
countries to ondearor to bring about amore
moro liberal policy with regard to the
importation ot American meats , but
there bus been no intimation of any
movement on their part in this direc
tion There is a very considerable
popular sentiment in both Franco
auu Germany hostile to the
policy of these governments in exclud
ing our meats , but the probability Is
that this is stilt overborne by the de
mand of horna producers for protection
ngninst Aino , ' rc/in ( competition It Is
suggoUod thai it the French and Gor
man governments do not show n moro
fnvorabln dlsfibsltion in this matter n
policy of rolUlitittou on our part would
bo justifiable Wo might properly nnd
ndvantngoously shutout the adulterat
ed wines nndiEomo ether articles that
coma from Franco At nny rate , these
governments ought to bo tnado to un-
understand ou ' r 'dlsploasuro with tholr
unfrlondly policy townrd our products
Tun romnrkablo growth of the State
Farmers alllanco during the last
ycnr Is a gratifying evidence of nn
nwnkoning among the producers A
year ago there were only forty local or
ganisations with a moiaborshlp of
flftoon hundred Today there nro
nine hundred alliances , roprcsonting
thirty thousand members Organiza
tion among the farmers had become nn
urgent necosslty Confronted on every
side by combines mid trusts , they are
forced to unit to protect thotnsolrcs
from the graspluggreodotcorporations
It is to bo hoped that strong , consorra-
tlvo men will bo placed at the helm ot
the altlanco nion who know the right
of the producers and who will domaiid
and secure just treatment from tlio
transportation companies ot the state

This quostlon of late has beconto so nrojii-
nont in Iowa's Issues that wo would bo out
of place not to rccognizo the issue aud con
tribute our mite towards Its solution Wo
donlt know that the time is yet ripa for pre
senting our views ou it , and this is ono reason
son why wo have said llttlo , as it is quite
easy to try to do good nnd then got kicked
for it We are strong in favor ot temperance ,
bnt bclioyo prohibition to be a false and in
competent monsuro In Its iuterest Wo be
hove mon are honest in support of It but
mistaken , and that they should bo Is not
strange , ns only a few generations back they
hanged and burned their fellow men In the
name of morality Wo believe they were
honest but misguided , Wo believe the pro
hibitionists nro doing the same thing In spirit ,
and would soon appeal to uny moans to carry
out tholr Ideas < *
But you aslt how will wo got rid of the
whisky evil If wo desist from forcible sup
pression , Well , woanswer Justus youchango
in favor of nny other moral
Intetnperntico Is a crima that is wide
spiead and belongs to prohibitionists and
others alike
It may bo denominated ns that restless
spirit that leads us la all excess In labor , In
eating , in drinking , in dressing , in money
making and everything wo do lnordlnatoly ,
Hence the treatment for this complaint
should be brood and cotnprohonslvo ; It
should be studied In a mora comprehensive
manner thun thcniero treatment of a sore
from a corrupt system That our people
should discuss tbo question as developed
by alcohol and all other evil fruits with
a view to prevent danger to our people
ple is qulto important and Is proper , but to
reduce it to the contortions of u tew fauatics
on one hand and a few heartless wretches on
the other , who only have in vlow plunders
from their fellow men , is a basis that Is hu
miliating to our great state , which boasts of Ita
school und learning and Its liberal , broaa-
miuded citizens Wo thlnu Iowa has been
clouded by this pitiful faroo long enough and
now as the people are still anxious to do
something why cant the common sense citi
zens rlso up In their might and stop it by
seme prudent treatment of the matter , for
certainly the prohibitionists and saloon
keepers are neither qualified Intellectually
nr any otner way to do It and wo dent be

striding ever the snndy desert , and
yielding up his last breath with tlio

In the Khiva campaign on thontght
of July 15 our troop broke camp at - a.
in Hardly had the first squadron , with
Etigcno do Liouchtonborg at tholr
head , started nlong the rontl , thnn stul-
donly the air trembled with clamor ,
howls and savage war orlos from a
crowd of several thousand nion , mill
seven Turkoman tribes , men and women
together , fell upon our troop Our
squadrons were Hung back upon the rest
ol the cavalry by force of the shock
upon the infantry The confusion was
torrlblo Wo could not sco the confu
sion , for it wns too dark , but wo felt it
No moro could wo distinguish frlo'ids
from enemies At this moniout I was
crowded in the midst of a group ot Cos-
sticks , mid my hoiso was pushed gently
and slowly , as if by waves , first ono way
and then the ether At first not a single
shot was hoard , but only the thud or
sahors striking human bodies and the
lumuntablo cries ot the wounded Sud
denly there wns n Hash and a glare in
front ot us , nnd a violent explosion ,
then nsocond and a third The rookot
battery , bolng nmougst the first squud-
rons , had succeeded , thanks to the dark
ness , in placing its stands right in the
middle of the onoiny Unfortunately
the rockets hurst without rising Prob
ably they Hud got wet and the boat lind
split them However , the explosions
frightened the Turkomans , nnd lind the
rosultof forming for a moment a little
opening in the itms3ot tlio combatants
Thou I Heard behind mo an ocor-
gotic voice , 'Mtiko way'as ! two compan
ies of the Second bulnllioti ot Turklbtnti
rillomuu passed through the midst of
the ' Cossacks , and dashed to the spot
where the battery had lakon its stand
I joined the right wing of the first com
pany 'Firoj' reechoed the word of
command , und a dischnrgo was heard so
uniform that it sounded like a single
shot 'Firol' I heard immediately
alongside , and anotnor similar discharge -
charge followed Fire ! ajittlo further ,
and yet further , nnd then further still ,
to the right of where I was , ono volley
after another , and at last , in the dls-
tanco near the gardens , wo Heard the
rolling ot the cannon Eight bticcos-
slvo rounds were Ilrcd by the compan
ies near which I wns , and in
peace time , during roviens , I have
oilon hoard worse firing Betwcon
the second and the third rounds a
group of Turkomans dashed through
tlio first company and killed four sol
diers , but this did not prevent the reg
ularity of the firing The company was
there , standing firmly as if it had not
even remarked this little episode ,
waiting nil attention for another com
mand to fire
When the sun with the rapidity
usual in the east , rose on the Horizon ,
our troop was found to bo drawn up in a
somiclrclo , ono company bj the side of
the ether , in nn order ns exact ns if the
manniuvor had boon executed in
brond daylight and by spoeial word of
command It was the regular volley
firing which hud shown the battalions
their places If the firing had bcon
contused and irrogulur the troops
would not have boon able to d iscovor
their whereabouts in the general chaos
In the camp lay the dead and wounded
Turkomans and Russians The chlof of
the detachmentGeneral CnlowalscholT ,
and the chief of the staff , were both
wounded with saber cuts In front of
our companies was piled up a compact
mass of fallen enemies , and in tbo dis
