LIQUOR THE NEXT ISSUE. .
TVe firmly believe that inside of
twelve years the liquor question will
be the issue in the presidential cam
paign.' We do not believe it will
come through the Prohibition party,
cither, but that one or the other of
the old parties, most likely the Re
publicans, will take it up and force it
to the front. Even now the ques
tion is causing considerable comment
in places where it has generally been
ignored, and in our exchanges we
note occasionally a sentiment hardly
Tecognized by those who give it ex
pression, bearing out the assertion
we have made. The question is one
as old almost as the race. We can
follow it back to Lot's time, or fur
ther, and the pages of profane his
tory arc filled with it. Bacchus with
bis champagne drunks, and Silenus
paralyzed on stale beer, or stronger
alcoholic mixtures, are examples
taken from the Grecian mythology,
while every nation of ivhich we have
a history has something concerning
those who liked a swig at the old
demijohn. The sacred volumes of
every religion propound against it;
the Bible, the Alcoran, the Zende-
vestas, all point to liquor as an injury
to the race. But in spite of this, man
will have it.
With the Mohammedan it is made
a crime to drink wine, punished by
being prevented entering into Para
dise; yet your noble Turk is a genu
ine lusLer. The blue laws of Maine
absolutely prohibit its sale; but it
can be found in perhaps not every
hotel, but certainly plentifully
enough. Sweden and North Caro
lina have tried going into the business;
but that does not stop it.
The general custom has Jbeen, and
is, to license it, and thus gain a reve
Due for allowing to be carried on
openly what it cannot prevent pri
vately. The teachings of religion
are against its use, but on the other
hand, the poet apotheosizes it as the
avatar of Pleasure. "Fill high the
bowl with Samian wine," sina-s By
ron. "Man being reasonable must
get drunk; the best of life is but in
toxication," sings another bard, and
the great mass of the populace take
kindly to poetry in this case.
The Prohibitionist wants the use
of liquor stopped, but he is small in
number, even though strong in faith
Opposed to him is the greater masses,
who object to the abuse, but not the
use. These show faith, but little
wisdonifor if the abuse could by an-
means be dissevered from the use,
there would be no liquor question.
In just what shape it is to be
brought before the people as a polit
ical question cannot be foictold, but
as an observer of the signs of the
times, we predict that it will be so
brought forward. Anent all this
discussion, we heaid a gentleman the
Other day discussing this very ques
tion. Wc might add that he is not
a Prohibitionist,-, and his idea was
certainly unique. He thinks the is
sue will come in the shape of taking
the internal revenue off the manu
facture of alcohol, and the doing
away witli license of all kinds. This
would put whiskey in the market at
fro.ro ten to twenty cents per gallon,
and in our friend's opinion, it would
then be so cheap that no one would
drink it. Beer would also be very
, che-ip and would drive out all other
stimulants, and at the same time fall
into disuse itself. '
We do not pretend to say what
effect any law mny have on the ques
tion, but we do insist that it is to be
the- next political issue. 'Al! such
la ws a i we have made, all such laws
as tiny civilized country has ever
made, have proved futile towards
stopping the liquor traffic. Whether
the generations coming are wiser
than the generations past remains to
be seen. Jn the meanwhile we might
add that the present system of li
censes, however unsatisfactory it may
be, is about the best so far devised.
Do not allow the matter of devel
oping our coal fields to go to sleep.
Agitate the question, talk about, en
courage it, make it go. It means
untold millions for The Dalles if a
good vein rT coal is discovered, and
we cannot ' afford to let the question
rest. If we have ihe coal let us dem
onstrate it. If we have it not, let us
remove the hope from our minds,
and devote our attention to some
thing else.
It seems almost impossible to real
ize that the Columbia is open to
navigation. The only way to get it
thoroughly impressed on j'our mind
is to board one of the D. P. & A. N.
Co.'s steamers and make the round
trip to Portland. When you come
up through the locks you know it is
so.
Bad Himself Shipped In a Box In Order tm
Peat the Railway.
Four or five years ago one of the most
celebrated of European prodigies was
the Pplish dwarf, nermann Zeitung, at
one time one of the chief attractions at
the Folies Bergere, says the New York
world. Latterly Zeitunp has been lib
tie in the public eye, or rather was un
til the other day, when he started in tc
carry out an interesting exploit which
very nearly succeeded.
He had himself fastened up in a box
addressed to a larpre importing house
at Madrid snd labeled: "Fragile. With
care. "Top." Iloles had been made in
this box for breathing purposes and
one of its sides was so constructed that
it could be opened from within to give
the little dwarf a way of getting out
unnoticed when he reached his destina
tion. The box was fitted up with a
cushion seat and an abundant supply
of provisions was placed within it. .
The' start was made at Vienna, where
Zeitung had been living for soma time,
and after the dwarf had placed him
self inside and fastened himself in two
lusty porter j carried him oCt to ta'j sta
tion, having been paid bjforehaad a
fee of sixty conts eauh. They gavo the
box in charge to the stationinaster to
be shipped to Madrid by express.
According to Zeitung, the journey
was .an uninteresting one and with
out incident, but when he got to the
Spanish capital his troubles began.
The Madrid stationinaster evidently
had a poor knowledge as to the fragil
ity of glass, for he turned the box over
and over, and at last came . to the con
clusion that its contents ought to be in
vestigated. His aids, therefore, opened
it and dragged out the dwarf more dead
than alive from the shaking he had re
ceived. It would have puzzled a man
less full of expedients how to further
punish Zeitung, but the stationinaster
solved the problem by having him ar
rested for trying to swindle the rail
road companies ont of their fares.
The dwarfs defense -was that he was
traveling in this manner on a bet of
three thousand francs, the terras of
the wager being that he was to get to
Madrid without a cent in his poc-ket.
Three hundred francs, however, were
found concealed in his shoes. The real
reason for his traveling in this remark
able manner was that ho might save
railroad fare and also get a good adver
tisement for the engagement in Madrid,
for which he was billed.
