WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1871.
The Evening Telegraph, from
its original establishment, has been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists ol
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sum, Journal of Commerce, Evening Post,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex
press. The success which has attended
our enterprise is, In itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which we have received
from this source. Last March we entered
Into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North American, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South ; and hereafter
The Telegraph will be the only evening
Paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
The earliest regular edition of Thx
Evening Teleqbaph goes to press at 1
o'olook, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2, SJ, and 4. Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be issued after
this hoar, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
IiEDUCTIO AD AB3URDU&1.
Mb. Naole, who is evidently a humorist of
rare attainments, yesterday introduoed a bill
ia the State Senate which proposes to Bottle
the publio buildings controversy after a new
and original fashion. Mr. Nagle, evidently
tired of hearing so much unprofitable discus
sion with regard to the site for the publio
buildings, especially after the whole matter
has been definitely settled by the Legislature,
the votes of the people of Philadelphia, and
the decision of the Supreme Court, prooeeds
to annihilate the anti-Penn Squareites with a
reductio ad absurdum. His bill forbids the
erection of the buildings on the intersection
f Broad and Market streets, and directs that
structures for the accommodation
of the municipal officers, with the
exception of City Treasurer and
Controller, shall be put up on one or two of
the Penn Squares at a cost of $1,500,000,
and that buildings for the courts shall be
erected at Fifth and Sixth and Chesnut
streets, upon Independence Square, at a cost
of $500,000. The idea of scattering the
publio offices about in this manner, instead of
concentrating them in one elegant edifice,
could only have originated in the brain of a
legislator with a hugely-developed bump of
humor, and no better plan could have been
suggested than the introduction of buoU a
bill as that of Mr. Nagle to demonstrate the
absurdity of all the clamor that has been
raised against placing the publio buildings
where the commissioners have proposed to
place them. There are times when a joke
will accomplish more than serious argument,
and as the whole controversy with regard
to the location of the publio buildings is based
solely upon the absurd idea that the whole
city of Philadelphia should be inconvenienced
in order that a. few property-holders in the
neighborhood of the shanties at present occu
pied by the courts and munioipal officers may
be benefited, it is just as well that the city
should be threatened with an arrangement
which demonstrates effect aally the utter ab
surdity of the whole squabble about the public-buildings
site. As Mr, Nagle's bill is
evidently intended for a joke, it will undoubt
edly be dealt with by the Legislature in an
appreciatively humorous spirit. The citizens
of Philadelphia have given their decision in
the matter of the location of the publio build
ings, and there is no further oooasion for
legislative interference of any kind. If the
commissioners are allowed to carry out their
plans without impediment, they will give the
city a structure whioh will be an object of
pride to many generations, and whioh will
shame the present opponents of the Penn
Square site into admiration.
"ROOSTER" SMIJITS ORE A T PA VINO
JOB.
Vfn really do not sympathize to any great
extent with the unfortunate inhabitants of
the Sixteenth Legislative district for the
anxiety which Mr. W. F. Smith's eourse, since
be has been a member of the House of Repre
sentatives, must have caused them. Mr.
Smith's peculiarities as a publio man were well
known, and also his accustomed style of
representing the interests of his constituents.
How he distinguished himself as a general
advocate of jobs which no one else would
touch, when be was a member of Councils, i
it not written in the "Journal of Connoila"?
and was it not to be expected that the schemes
of the redoubtable Smith would expand
with the enlarged sphere of action which a
seat in the Legislator affords him? The
people of the Sixteenth district knew all about
our friend Smith, and yet they sent him
to the Legislature, and he, true to his prin
cipled, proposes to reward their confidence
by making them bear the expense of some of
the most magnificent jobs that have ever
been introduced to the notice of the publio
by any of our law-makers who have no repu
tation for honesty or deoency to lose. One
of the principal measures proposed by Mr.
Smith is a grand scheme to open a variety of
new roads, end to pave them and a number
of those already in existence at the expense
of the property-holders of the Twenty-seoond
and Twenty-third wards. Unlike Nagle's
publio buildings bill, this is no joke. On the
contrary, the Representative from the Six
teenth district really means business, and is
fully determined to make hay while the sun
shines. If Smith can get the above men
tioned bill, or indeed any one of his
numerous measures of a similar charac
ter, through the Legislature, and socure
the signature of the Governor this last is
not a difficult thing to do, by the way he
can afford to retire from publio life and
spend the balance of his days in making
money out of paviDg contracts. It would be
hard on the Twenty-second warders, we know,
but as they were ambitious to be represented
in the Legislature by W. F. Smith, Esq., they
really have no good cause for complaint if he
makes them pay handsomely for the luxury.
It is sad to think, however, that as in all suoh
cases the innocent must suffer with the guilty,
and that those who did not vote for
him will be compelled to pay as well as
those who did. This is one of the inconve
niences of our political system, and it must
be borne with as good graoe as the victims
are able to command; and if the people of the
Sixteenth district are obliged to pay tribute
to Smith and the "ring" of whioh he is the
immediate representative, it is to be hoped
the depletion of their pockets will at least
teach them the importance of sending proper
men to Harrisburg to make laws for them.
THE PHILADELPHIA DRINKING
SALOONS.
The number of drinkings saloons officially
reported in Philadelphia is 4159; and it is
estimated that nearly 3000 places at which
liquor is sold are not embraced in this list, so
that there are about seven thousand rum
mills, of high and low degree, in constant
operation. If we grant that it is neither
possible nor desirable to enforce a prohibitory
liquor law, and concede that
the raging ' thirst of confirmed
inebriates or the insatiable appetites of
lovers of intoxicating beverages will prompt,
them to override or evade all restrictive sta
tutes, the great question still remains
whether a civilized and Christianized commu
nity cannot and should not prevent such an
immense number of saloons from flaunting
temptation at every street corner, and hold
ing out irresistible lures to the weak and
wavering at every favorite resort. Even
where vice cannot be extirpated, muoh
may be accomplished by diminishing
the number and extent of its allurements;
and the temperance men, moderate drinkers,
and confirmed inebriates of Philadelphia, one
and all, should seriously inquire whether, for
the interests of all concerned, the present
system of licensing is not about the worst
that could possibly be devised. It springs in
a great measure out of the deep hostility
manifested by the temperance men some
years ago to the old system of having tavern
licenses granted exclusively by the courts, and
of punishing all who sold liquor without suoh
a license; and whatever may have been the
motives of those who urged this change,
there can be no doubt that they
have practically made bad worse,
multiplied temptations, and inoreased the
number of victims of intemperance.
What can be done to remedy so startling an
evil? To let matters take their present
course is the worst possible policy. As a first
step towards reform the whole question should
be handed over, in a financial sense at least,
to the control of the city. As matters are
now arranged the whole burden imposed by
intemperance falls directly npon this munici
pality, which they muBt pay, in supporting
the County Prison, the Almshouse, and the
police, about two millions of dollars per
annum, while the State derives the whole
revenue from tavern licenses. It obtains from
this source but a meagre pittance only a few
hundred thousand dollars annually or about
one dollar for every ten that Philadelphia
must spend in consequence of the sale of
liquor within her limits. Such a regulation is
so manifestly unjust that it has been
abandoned elsewhere, and Philadelphia is
probably the only large city In the United
States so shamefully swindled by unjust legis
lation. If there is no other way of getting
at this matter, let the State Legislature pass
a law requiring Philadelphia to pay the
average sum now derived by the State from
the taverns in this city, with the understand
ing that our municipal authorities, or an
excise board, can impose suoh a tax as they
deem proper npon our drinking saloons. By
this change a municipal revenue of from
$500,000 to $1,000,000 could easily be
raised; the police force could be required to
insist npon its collection and to aid in the
arrest of those who sought to evade it; and,
in the financial aspect of this matter, one
crying source of injustioe would be removed.
As an additional help, the system proposed
by Gerrit Smith, at a National Temperanoe
Convention, a few years ego, might also be
adopted. It would make the haters of bad
and especially injurious liquor allies, to some
extent, of. the prohibitionists, instead of their
inveterate foes. This end could be attained
by subjecting to punishment, by the courts,
the unscrupulous venders of poisons labelled
whisky or braDdy, just as a man who habitu
ally poisoned his fellow-beings by dispensing
arsenic or strychnine would be punished. A
woman died suddenly in the southern part of
this city a few days ago, and one of the wit
nesses at the inquest testified that the imme
diate cause of her death was "drinking the
worsest whisky that ever was Bold;" and such
cases frequently ocour. Trained moderate
drinkers shiink from half the stuff sold in
our saloons aa they would shrink from the
vilest compounds that were ever made by a
professional poisoner. And there can be no
doubt that the drinking saloons of Philadel
phia actually poison (we do not mean in the
prohibition sense, which implies that all
alcoholic preparations are poisonous, but in a
medical sense) thousands of citizens every
year, sending them to their graves by prepa
rations as deadly in their nature as arsenio or
prussio acid. Men who occasionally take
a gloss of lager beer, wine, or brandy, know
this fact even better than the temperance
men know it, and the question is worth con
sidering whether, as jurymen, they would
not convict the dispenser of such infernal
mixtures; and whether a series of suoh con
victions would not go far to root out of the
community thousands of the rum-mills which
are now sowing broadcast fatal diseases, as
well as perpetually flaunting temptations.
If liquor must be sold in our midst, restric
tions of some kind are better than no restric
tions at all; and it is beooming especially
necessary that the power of poisoning the
community should be restrained, as well as
that Philadelphia should be, in part, relieved
of the heavy financial bucden now imposed
upon her by intemperance.
