The new ltili license law for Minn cfottt showed it inlhieino a re striction upon the trallle from the very outset. It rcmiircH a license fen of 1000 in all cities having a population of 10,000 or nioro. and 8J0O in all other places, Itotiiins from each county thus far show a fallin,' off of n fifth from the nitmhcr of applications for license made last year under (lie old law and there promises lo be n still fiiillmr reduction. Last year there wax 22'JCt applications, while this year there are but 18(5l!. Oreynniun. .Tu.-t hiieh arguments nn the aliovo. AVit li which the high lirense advocates would inula! the people believe that an iucroasod liceii'-eoti the liquor traf fic would hold it in check, and reduce consumption, has a tendency to make ns ilisl. ii liltli! lirnil. tlin iili'ii - mi nli smil. lli.rt. lici.sn ivhiiI.i xni (..,.fc llio sale of liipior in the heist, unless the license be placed so high that no one could pay it, and that would be, practically, prohibition. Take a town the size of Union for instanc!: JSay there are three saloon keeper .Messrs. Itrowu. Mark and White who pay, and can afford lo pay, each, 1hreo hundred ami thirty-ihree and a third dollars license per year. Let the city council raise t lie license to one thousand dollars per year and the consequence would be that the above mentioned saloon keepers would tind it convenient to enter into u partner- fillip, tit up a more extensive and in viting establishment than either Had, and dispense their beverages over the same counter with the following re sult: The price of whiskey would re main as before 10 cents a gla-. Mini tho sunn amount would ho coi s :m id, the prolltsto the saloon ke.'pern would be fio same, or increased, and the revenue to tho city would bo no great er than it was before the license was raised. The idea (hut high license would bo n check on the Ihpmr tratlle and a cor rect way in which to mitigate tho evils of intemperance, is so palpably false that it is not worth discussing, mid will not receive attention from pcuple who think that the time has arrived -when the sale of intoxicants should be stopped. Neither does it commend itself to those who think that the evils of intemperance have been over uMi- inated, and who do not object to the Iraflte. It is not our intention to take part in the present prohibition campaign to any great extent. Wo shall cast our vote in the way that our reason counsels us is best, and shall not try to prevent others from doing tl o finnie. The above remarks on high license are made for the reason that we despiho sophistry and hypocrisy, and when wo meet them cannot refrain from giving them a kick. We prefer to hear the truth at all times no matter what the consequences may be. At the election next November, tho-e who think the present state or affairs, in regard to tho liipior trallic, is good enough, will vote agiiitiM. prohibition. I'liohu who think that tho liiiior tralllu Is an mil that should hu suiiiiuaiily j Mopped, will vote fur prohihiliou, for j that N tin; only way it can ho a roiu- lishid. Prohihiliou trill prohibit if . tho majority of tho puoplo do.-iro it to. ! "Whi'tliiT it luohibits or not should tho iiniouduiout curry will dopoud i oiitirely upon tho action of tho lois- ' Jaturo. That hody can rnuloi- tho law inoporutivo if they wish to, or can liresorlho such ponnltio for its viola- tion that u man would as soon think of hiindlin; tho box ot Pandora us tho Iluld that lnohriatos. As loislaturos ! arc Hindu and unniado hy tho people, ; there can he no doulit that tho people :an make prohibition prohibit when over t hoy, us a majority, think proper lo do so, J'OSTJh LAWS.

A pamphlet descriptive of AVallown county, prepared by the Wallowa ;....... i i : i' ... j 1 ' , Ilt mini;, ib in neon; iniun up, mill contains carefully and well written I articles on the many and varied re i sources of that magnificent country. Iiiforinalion concerning everything the immigrant ami home seeker would cire to inform himself upon, is given in a lucid, plain and concise manner. It is entirely free from the fault that prevades many descriptive circulars i !l"1 l'niplilets of this kind exaggera- lion anil talse coloring. 1 lie wor will be of great value in making Wal lowa county known to the outside world, and speaks well for the enter prise and public spirit of that excellent newspaper, UUn ClilrJ'taiu.

It will be honored I in the hands of auv man, woman or I ! child, white wr red, black or vellow, I who favors the association by present ing it. It is good for entrance and grandstand, and the bearer, if driv ing, will be entitled to pass a team free. The association recognizes the fact that its splendid success is owing largely if not wholly, to tho notices freely given by the press, anil, while we cannot render an equivalent in cash, we return our grateful thanks." Those Michigan people have a correct idea of the situation. Tho Detroit Labor Acrfsays: The necessity lor a simple mode of luxa tion is plain to every thinking man. The tariff and internal revenue taxes are constantly evaded, and the county and city tuxes give rise to a large amount of fraud, especially when a iu:in lias considerable personal prop erty. Vacant land hold on specula lilt Ion is taxed at a low rate, while single improved lots are taxed heavily. We should substitute for these cum bersome and easily evaded taxes a single tax on laud values. Such a tax would abolish land speculation and give the producer access to it. Washington Letter.

Neither tne president nor your cor refpondeut me ai the Capital this week and tiie government at Wash ington will have to get along as best it can. The Capital city became too hot for me, and I came to this usually breezy place only to tiud that the sun l,,ul "ntU-iinloil my anival. I know of hut one hotter place, (and Mr. lu fior.-ol denies the existence of that) , than the hoard walk alonj? tho beach of Atlantic: Citv when tho winu is still or seaward. But, when tho wind is from the sea, as it is to-day, ami you take your oasu on tho veranda of your hotel, or loll on tho beach ami watch the litlm limbed youth and maidens in their Imthing costumes, life seems worth living even in .Inly, and New tlursey, contrary to a common predju dico, ood for something. Of tho many seaside ruorts extond X from Loii'' Branch to Cape Mav, Atlantic Oily is tho lar-rcd and most 'popular. It was founded in a lot of j crude wooden cottnuus and boarding ' houses for denizens of tho (Junker I City who wero darlii,' enouirli to as- i touish their bodies with a sua liatli. i Their children have jrrown up to love ' this ue of water, mid with more money and loiMiru than their fathers had, huilt splendid cottayos und hotels which tiro fre'ipiented hy guests from l.os Anyeles to Uotou. Thooo who suppose Atluntle UUy is merely u (iununer resort will bo surprised to see sto'iin-hoatiujf apparatus in tho large hotel.-..

Tens of thousands of these ''sous of toil," their wives and children, conic here in excursions every week and spend money in a way that the wealthy of the old world would call extravagant.
