After all that has been done and said the prob- lem scems as far from solution as ever. It is an admitted fact that in Iowa as well as elsewhere prohibition does not prohibit. The number of saloons in oper- ation is scarcely less than before the law went into effect. In the leading cities and towns there is searcely an attmpt made at concealing the open defiance of the statutes and there are few villages where liquor and beer cannot be had tor the asking. So far as a general enforcement is concerned the law is the same dead letter that it is in Maine . and as it certainly will be in Georgia should the validity of the late election be sustained by the supreme court of that state. Our Towa friends may debate and argue over the causes, but the fact will remain that prohibition fails not because it is wrong in principle but because it cannot be enforced in practice. Instead of restrieting the liquor traflic and placing it in the hands of men who ean be dealt with by the courts for violation of the law, it bands all lawbreakers together for self protection, and gives them a strong support of that eclement of the com- munity which is opposed to wl they consider an mterference with their right citizens, For this reason the effects of its operation are to destroy the very objects for which it is created. There are thousands who if prohibition could be enforced would give it a support. The evils of intempe too appalling to be denied. Good citi- zens everywhere desire to see them re- pressed by the most eflicient means, And these are found in a vigid system of high license such as Nebraska has wisely cured, and the features of which othel states are studying with a view to th adoption. Under the Nebraska sys- tem such portions of Jowa as could enforce prohibition would be able to secure it through the refusal of the county boards to grant licen The number of saloons in towns and cities would be regulated, the business thrown into responsible hands and placed under police supervision, and last but not least the state would reap a handsome revenue tax on the trafie. High license is not a cure for all the evils of the liquor traflic, but it is an_excellent remedy for many. So far as 1t goes it can be en- It draws to its support wherever been placed in operation the senti- ment of all law-abiding citizens, and en- lists the best class of liquor sellers in its behalf. With her past experience with prohibition Towa might do wc than to try the experiment of a few years with high license, The Charity Bal The subscriptions of our citizens to the charity ball have been so generous that there is every reason to believe that the forthcoming entertainment for the bene- fit of Omaha’s poor’will result in a fund larger by more than half than that of last year. If all the tickets sent out by the committee are taken the returns will be double those of 1885, Hard work on the vart of those who have the matter in rge is assuring a successful oceasion. cards of admission, 1t is very important that there should be no delay on the part of those who have received tickets in remitting the amount called for. 1t n easy way of aiding in practical charity. The tax is light. En- tirely apart from the objects intended the money will be well spent. The funds so far collected have been at once placed in 8 tion to relieve destitution and want. They have not been distributed indiseriminately, but have been dis- bursed through established organized charities. The severity of the winter is greatly in ing toe number of appeals aid. Fuel, provision and cloth- ing are needed in larger quantities than cver before by the poor and needy of this city. Our citizens owe it to them- selves to respond promptly to the request of the committee to hurry in their remit- tances for tickets. Delaying a favorable reply means a delay in relieving want and poverty. The Apache Policy. Geronimo, the Apache chief, has sur- rendered to Gen. Crook. The announce- ment is accompanied by a strong demand from the people of Arizona that the blood-thirsty savage shall be dealt with by the law as he deserves. Fear is ex- pressed that Crook will again place him and his renegade bucks on the reserva- tion at San Carlos to recruit for another raid, Itis a doubtful question whether Gen. Crook can do anything else. Under the present regime of clashing interests between the interior and the war depart- ments, the only function of the army in cases of outbreaks from the reservations is to suppress the outbreaks and return the depredators to the care of the Indian agents, The army has no more right to turn the Indians over to the local civil au- thoritics than a policoman has to hand over a captured prisoner to Judge Lynch, As affuirs now ave, the army in Avizong are forced to act ns a foil to the mistakes of the agents, but their responsibility ceases when they have captured the hos- tiles and returned them to their oflicers of the interior department, Right here has been the root of the en- tire trouble in deuling with the Apaches. Crook realized this fact and urgently ap- pealed that San Carlos be turned abso- lutely over to his control. He promised that no outbreak should occur if he were permitted to place the reservation und military discipline. For a year his re- quest was granted under an agreement between the secretaries of war and of the interior. The late lamented Capt. Emmett Crawford was placed in charge of the Apaches. Military surveillance won the day. There was no sign of dis- content ov of outbreak until the meddle- some idiocy of a new agent forced the ithdrawal of Crawford and compelled b0k to disuvow all future responsibil- ity for the conduct of affuirs at the ageney. Then' eame the last campaign, the troops were ouce more ealled upon to subdue the Apuches, and Crawford lost his li bing the end Gen. Crook is an urgent advocate of the policy of transfe \gz the supery. sion of hostile and restless Indians from the eivil to the wilitary. He argues and argues sensibly that the ounce of agency prevention is sworth a pound of military eure. Mis expetienco has vroved: to him that the ludiuus ouly respeet force and that a military aduiinisteation of reservas tions peopled by hostiles is more effic: ciots in preserving peace than a civil one. In the present case he has nothing to do but to bring in the surrendered Apaches and leave them to break out onee more when they become dissatished with their agent and raservation. He is tied down and hampored by the divided anthority which requires one department of the government to feed the hostiles and another to fight them. The discom- forts of the situation are increased by the assurance that should Geronimo and his bucks take it mto their heads to orgamze 'um(hm aid in the spring, the entire ter- 1 press will denounce Gen. Crook ailure and attribute the cavse of the bloody trail left by the Apaches to the general's incapacity to deal with the Indian problen.

It seems that often when a case has come up that required some attention from a detee- tive ofticer, the marshal, instend of detailing one of his own men and giving him some in- structions, has “steered” the case into De- tective Emery's office and, evidently, has re- ceived a fee, not stipulated, for his trouble.— Herald. This is another sample of the bricks that the Herald is daily hurling at M shal Cummings, but like all the restit really amounts to nothing. The council somo time ago passed a_ resolution for- bidding the employment of policemen in detective work, and authorizing the mar- shal to engage an outside detective when- ever the services of a detective were needed.

Mr. Gladstone has been summoned to Windsor, has received the que mands and has announced his cabinet. The result is a surprise to all and a dis- appomtment to both the wn and the radicals. The cabinet is a strong one in its integral parts. Most of the members re of large experience in the public ser- vice and have served under the premier in previous ministries. Only one, how- ever, resumes his former post. Earl Spencer, who was former lord licutenant of Ireland, is made lord privy scal. Mr, Childers becomes home secretary, Earl Granville, former secretary of foreign affairs, is given the colonial oflice. Mr. Chamberlain is shelved as president of the loeal government board while Earl Kimberly takes the India oflice, the same portfolio which he held under the last Gladstone ministry. The new members are Earl Roseberry, the brilliant Scotch lieral, who becomes foreign secretary, Lord Ripon who gocs to the admiralty oftice, Mr. Trevely secretary of Scotland, and John Morley the radical home ruler, who is assigned to the chief secretaryship of Ireland. Sir William Vernon Harcourt is disappointed by seeing Sir Farrer Henchel raised to the chancery bench while he takes ex- chequer, Mr. Mundella becomes president of the board, of trade and Mr. Banner- man secretary of w * ¥ The radicals largely predominate, but the party (!]J\Inls that such a leader as Chamberlain’has been assigned to pnqt far below that which his abilitic manded, Mr, Morley's selection i erally commended as the best po: qlb]o for the place. It evid s the de of the ministry to deal, when the appropri- ate time comes, with the home rule question under the advice of an ardent advocate of local government. The whigs have been entirely excluded. Lord Hartington and Lord Derby are couspie- uous for their absence. The question on every lip is whether they will be found in opposition. Upon their ability to bring a considerable following to the tory camp depends largely the permanency of the new ad- ministration. It is generslly believed that an understanding exists between Mr. Gladstone and Parnell as to the ex- tent of the Irish support and as to the conduct of legislation for the session. This is believed to include a broad and liberal measure for the purchase of Irish land either by or on behalf of Irish farm- ers and an extension ot the powers of local governnsent in the three kingdoms, These ho argues must precede and form tne basis of a future movement for home rule, e The tendency of the Irish party since the fall of the Salisbury ministry has been to avoid committing themselves on the situation in a manner which might cause fusure embarrassment. The leaders of the league in Ireland have taken occasion to draw the attention of the Irish people to the urgent necessity of preserving order in the crisis under every provoca- tion which may be oftered. Addressing the National lengue on Monday Mr. Dav- itt said: “‘Viewing the position to which the land question has now been brought, and the position of the national question, I will again most earnestly appeal, even to those who are threatened with evie- tion and to those tenant farmers who are suffering social ruin, to restrain their passions, to commit no breach whatever of the existing law that may weaken the position which Mr. Parnell occupies in Westminster and damage the cause which he is 50 able and so powerful to defend. Mr. Dillon followed in the same strain and made the significant announcement that | he believed that the Irish people were within a short distance of a grest meas- ure of relief. Speeches such as these, joined to the editorial utterances of such wen as Justin M'Carthy, indicate that Parnell is fully acquainted with the min- terial programme, and will support it against any opposition which the com: bined whigs and tories can muster, ' Mr. Parnell's policy will now be to conciliate public sentiment in England by mndor\ tion, in order to permit Mr. Gladstone to approach the question of home rule with the deliberation which the case demands. That 1t must be reached finally there is little doubt. The manner in which it then handled will determine the fate of the cabinet, - The Canadian pariiament will cpen an the 26th of the present month and prom- ises to be an interesting and exciting ses- on. The strong race féeling excited by Riel's exccution has ot abated and Sir John Macdonald will find his path towards securing a strongly united domin- ion strewn with many thorns. The sue- cess of the premier in securing English assistance for his railroad schemes will, however, smooth the way. His return from England ¥as made the accession for a series of shrewdly contrived ova- tions. Deputations of political friends greeted Sir John at Ottawa, and he showed himself as much a master ot po- litical eraft as ¢ He told one deputa- tion that England looked on with “won- der and admiration” at the way the mili- tary department put down the rebellion of the Northwest and that Lord Wolseley told him that the imperial service itself could not have done the business so weil as Canada did it. Sir John had a business as well asa pa- triotic string to his bow. He found t Englund did not feel at all secure with her Suez canal privileges in case war should break out and that looks kindly upon the Canaclian Pac Pro- vision has been made for a line of steam- ers from British Columbia to China, Sir George Stephen, president of the Can dian Pacific, who has returned with Sir John, remarked to the Marquis of Salis- bury that the true termini of the road were Liverpool and Hong Kong; his lord- » admitted the proposition, and the ailroad men were then prepared to ap- proach English eapitali To all ap- pearances the returning party have made good business bargains during their ab- sence, and the financial argument is the all important one as 2 rule in politics, Bismarck’s P(?]hh policy has pro- duced a genc excitement throughout Germany. The bill to expel the Poles was defended by the Iron Prince with furious vigor in the landtag. The Poles, he declared, are the accomplices of the opposition. By means of an opportune coalition they might possibly muke a majority against the government. They are an element of disloyalty. Therefore they must be exterminated. “I am ready,” he said, as we reported on Fr ay, “to save my countyy, although i costs me my head :uu{ honor.” chancellor is severely: tesfing the faith of liberty-loving Germans in the future of their country. The London correspond- ent of the New York 7¢mes states that he has seen a letter from one of the most eminent liberalsin the reichstag, in which the author declared that the vote of cen- sure in that body against the brutal treatment of the Poley was the last gasp of expiring liberty in Germany. He fur- ther says that the nationak conscienee has gone fast asleep with no sign of awaken- ing, but this probably: onty means that the liberals feel helpless while Bismarck rules.

Senator Frye having claimed that an en- foreement of our tariff laws would compel the annexation of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the Halifax papers are objecting that it will never do for Canada to come under the rule of such men as Frye.
