Bostoy, Mass., August 15— [Special to Tre ] —When Mussachusetts rejected a pro- ory amendment to its constitution in April, 1880, by a majority of over forty-two wnd in a total vote of about two hun- and twenty thousand she did it out of the fullness of her experience with that s of unti-liquor logislation. She gave prohibi- tiona very fair trial for a half dozen years, from 1860 to 1875, and its results in that time were so uns: tory inevery way that th state has had no desire to repeat the expe ment. The fact that the law was re- pealed, and that the constitutional amend- ment was overwhelmingiy defeated lust year, in o community of such intelligence and in- clined to Pur cas as Massachusetts, is a point worthy noting by the eager prohibi- tionis ts of Nebraska. The failure of prohibition as a means of checking drunkenness is frrefutably shown by figures collected by the state bureau of statistics of labor under the direction of Cs roll D. Wright, and by order of the I ture. All the figures which follow are official, and were collected simply for the sale of getting at the ttuth and not to scrve as an argunent for one side or the other, In thotable below are given the statistics of drunkenness for the entire state for ten ¥ \with the convictions and sentences. During the first five years prohibition was in force, and in the last five a license system : YROMIBITION, No. ot Sentences arrests Convliet- for Year. reported. fons, Drunkenness, SO0 10,120 18,880 110,850 100,440 LICENSE, Arrests, Convietions.

There is no getting away from these figures, which show beyond a doubt that there was more drunken- ; under prohibition than under high icense. The court statistics of liquor cases show that the courts had much more to do under vrohibition than under license.

Darnas, Tex., Angust 17.—The particulars of a borrible dynamite accident were re- ceived in this city today. Rev. Stemmons and a pvarty of young men friends went down to McCormick’s bluff, on the Trinity rviver yesterday on a fishing expedition. Stemmens has frequently “‘dynamited’’ the river for fish, although oftentimes warned against the practice, Yesterday he leld two large dynamite cartridges in his hands and announced that he was going to usethe same. His comvaniens shrank back, —Stem- mons hurled one of the cartridgesintothe streaw, and o slight explosion followed. An instant later a sccond report fairly shook the surroundings and prostrated theentire party. Young Stemmons’ were blown from their sockets, hislefthand was torn a above the wrist and his right leg below the knee was blown to atoms. He lived for five hours. Leslie Stemmons, a boy of fifteen, was in- jured slightly by the shock. The remaips of Stemmons were brought to this city and puried toda; He was a member of a wealthy family, and his father, Col.

On question the rgsolutions ave strictly in line with democratic party policy. The tari plank s as follows : “Believing that our gov- ernment was founded on the i that allmen shall vote and have an equal chance in the race of lite and that no taxes should be col- lected divectly orindireetly from the people except what are necessary to carry on the government economically amd honestly ad- ministered, we demand such revision of the 1 laws as will lay the heaviest bur- dens on luxuries and the lightest on the necessaries of life, and that all tariffs be gradually reduced.’ The resolu- tions conclude with this declaration: “We will uot support any man for a legisltive office of any political party who will not pledge himséif in writing to use his infiuence for tho formulation, of these demunds into ws," —_——— Holston Taken to Portland.
