There has been so steady ® multiplication of saloons and so much dis- order and lawlessness traceable to them, that un effort will be mado to induce the next legis- lature to enact a high license law. The com- plaint is made that local option, which is the system now in vogue in the state, and under which several counties of the state have adopted prohibition, does not answer for the large cities. This is undoubtedly true. The solution of the liquor question for cities seems to rest in high license, which can be enforced, and which, without abolishing the liquor traffic, regulates it by reducing the number of Gramshops and improving their quality. But local option does serve its purpose admirably ia smaller communities, where the enforce- ment of any law depends upon its having a strong public sentiment behind it, When the people of a county decide for themselves whether they wish to license liquor selling orjnot, they do not vote for arule which they cannot, and do not intend to, stand by. The effect of such local regulation is obvious on crosaing the line between a county where li- ce are freely granted and one where the whole traffic is forbidden. We have an ex- ample right in our own neighborhood which can be observed by any one who follows the ‘th street road, for instance, out far enough to enter Montgomery county, Md. The transition is sufficiently marked to attract the notice even of oue who had no idea where the district ends and the state begins. The same marked contrast is noticeable between the “wet” and “dry” counties of the state. The wonderful growth, for instance, of Montgomery county, which is filling up its whole extent with beautiful homes and orderly intelligent enter- prising communities, takes its date from the time when the people of the county voted to abolish that demoralizing plague spot, the country grog-shop. It is remarked, by observers of the peach- growing region of Maryland and Delaware, that the crop this year will be of fair propor- tions, but that the bulk of it will come from the orchards on high lands. Those on the lower levels, owing to their later blooming, were caught by the heavy rains which have distinguished this season. and great numbers of blossoms so injured that they never matured. It is noted that the “yellows” have not pre- vailed in peach orchards this year to the usual extent, and the fact is attributed to the mild ‘This story is the outcome of an attack which de- mands s reply and a reply that can be fairly made only by the clerks and not the proprietor of the Palais Royal That this true story willas much surprise Mr. Lisner when he reads his “Star” in Saratoga, ss it will you as you glance through this column, is the as- surance of the writer. CHAPTER I, The time, July, 1889. The place, s neatly appointed office on the second floor of No. 1119 Pa. ave., Mr. Lisner, the proprietor of the Palais Royal is busily en- aged with his correspondence when the door is opened by an individual who would see him on important business, The émportant business re- ferred to the residence being built by Mr. Lisner on Massachusetts avenue, and was to the effect that » non-union laborer was being employed. Mr. Lisner in reply stated that he only acted on sound business Principles when be invited bids and finally awarded the contract to Mr. L——, but that he would see the builder and endeavor to arrange matters satisfactorily. Mr. L—— is seen and all seems well when another mysterious visitor announces himself, The interview was short and, unlike the weather that day, very breezy. The one wants to dictate, the other doesn’t want to be dictated to. The threat of forcible eject- ment on the one side and of “boycott” on the other, makes lively stir and food for talk for the second- floor clerks fora dayLat least, Thus ends the, first chapter, CHAPTER II. *Tisearly morning, before the coming of the pro- Prietor, before the throng of customers begin to arrive; the time when the clerks are apt to congregate ‘nd exchange experiences, The beaus were not the topic of conversation this July morning for all are eagerly discussing the why and wherefore of a certain card that had been distributed at the Government Printing Office the day previous, “What @ shame,” sys one; “I wonder who wrote it,” says another; “OA! what @ Lie," says = tom-boy of girl. Soon the customers begin to arrive and the floor walker’s cry “Now, young ladies, to your departments please,” cause the girls to separate, Of course at lunch time the card is the topic of con ‘Versation and soon the advertising man is approached by one of the buyers. Here is a fac simile of the card: “THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS REWARD.” ATTENTION, FRIENDS OF LABOR! The rietor of the Palais corner 12th street and Pennsylvania aventiey ta auiait in eli bis dealings with organized labor,and also with his femal employes, forbidding them to sit down during work- ing hours, arbitrarily fining them for petty olfeuses, and has been guilty of other acts of tyranny.

The patrons of the store shall sce that the clerks appreciate their employer. In the large center show window on Monday will be exhibited, handsomely framed, the resolutions adopted by the members of the ‘Palais Royal Beneficial Asso- ciation.” This will greet Mr. Lisuer when he enters his office on his return from Saratoga, It reads; “At 8 meeting of the ‘Palais Royal Beneficial Association’, held July 27, 1889, the following resolutions were adopted: “Whereas, the many acts of generosity by the pro- prietor of the Palais Royal, Mr. A. Lisner, has placed the Palais Royal Beneficial Association under obliga- tious, and his uniform kindness to his employes has demonstrated his consideration for their welfare, and it being desired to perpetuate s testimonial of the sentiment of attachment to him now existing in the ‘establishinent— “Therefore, be it resolved, That the contribution to the treasury of the association is gratefully acknow!- edwed, with the assurance that it will find ite way into many avenues leading to good in aiding the objects of ‘the organization ; “Resolved, That the Ssturday half day closing in ‘sumuner is appreciated as an act to his credit, winning the esteem of those who enjoy the privilege and the commendation of his host of patrons and the public; “Resolved, That the many years of relationship ex- aAE | Stones ts Rae ee ‘worthy | @vidence of hie justness in every ‘way to those tn his employ, and that the association tenders these ex- Pressions with wishes for long life and prosperity.” ‘William @. Kent, President, Alex. Wolf, Secretary, ‘Busie A Richards, ‘Nellie @. Vernon, Emmanuel Blout, Zohn R. Porter, a Onna, The good yield of last year, following upon one of exceptional size in 1887, seems to have exhausted the bearing vitality of the trees, and possibly the high temperature of January -and February has injured the apple crop as much as it improved the peach crop. The two fruits appear to thrive under precisely opposite cli- matic conditions. From Michigan, where the | frosts and biting winds of winter more nearly approached the normal standard last season, good accounts are given of the northwestern apple country. The crop promises to be as large as usual. There will be an uncommon multitude of consumers to satisfy, however, with those apples which are raised in any part of our country. It probably interests Boston to learn that the bean crop is in bad shape in ‘New York, but that Michigan and California will endeavor to maintain the equilibrium in the staple viand of Beacon Hill and Boylston street. eo —______ Lord Randolph Churchill has so conducted himself politically during the last few years that neither of the great parties in the British house of commons has felt any assurance in laying claim to him. By his recent speech at Walsall he has marched himself right into the socialist camp, and we may expect soon to hear the Hyde park and Trafalgar square agi- tators hailing him as one of themselves. He Proposed a revision of the laws so as to prevent the bequeathing of land by will; to authorize the purchase by municipalities, by the exercise of eminent domain, of large tracts of land, on which comfortable houses for workingmen are to be built and rented at a rate duly propor- tioned to the cost of the improvements; and to cause the regulation by the state of the hours of labor for men, women and children. If some smudge-faced, frowsy-haired, hulking fellow had declaimed such ideas from the top of a barrel to a crowd of his own sort, the po- lice would have eagerly sought an excuse for his arrest; but “Lord Randy,” well-dressed, well- fed, and’allied to one of the most illustrious houses in the peerage, 1s treated only as an er- ratie gentleman, who will one day find his way back to the place and the atmosphere in which he belongs. $2 Singular that General Rosser never discov- ered until after he went back among his north- ern friends in Minnesota that all the newspa- pers misquoted the ridiculous rebel speeches he made in Baltimore and other southern cities on festive occasions last spring. The reports as published were evidensly all right for the lntitude of Maryland and Virginia, but seemed to be all wrong up in the northwest, where,after the war, the General was enabled to recruit his fallen fortunes by the aid of northern capital and enterprise, and where he had a number of pleasant business and social associates. General Rosser doesn’t of course mean to be two-faced, and probably is not, but he doubtless realizes by now that shooting off one’s mouth at long range and saying things to the fellow's face are two quite different affairs. oe ‘The epidemic of blindness which is puzzling the physicians of Montreal seems to aa tended all over the dominion, and tobe making a special target of the press.
