Tbe rumor that Mr. Carlisle may be made

again, and he toes the mark with a vicious
smile. Editor Dorsheimer now indulges in
this remarkable language:

Open lt.piy to Dr. Faob. SW»
Dear Dr. Funk: Your open letter reaches
me only to-day. I submit a few proposi
tions in answer:
First. You prohibitionists do practioally
continue the saloon evil and increase it by
forbidding all decrease except abolition.
You killed the Varnum bill in 1888, which
was admirably drawn by the best legal
talent, and which would have reduced the
number of saloons in New York city to
2,000. You are now trying desperately to
kill the so-called Crosby bill, wbieh would
reduce the saloons in New York
oity to 5,000. You make this straoge
ani pernicious opposition to the
most practicable temperance measure
from the mistaken analogy of liquor selling
and brothel-keeping. Brothel keeping is a
Bin to any extent and iu every light.
Liquor selling is not a sin. It is the con
comitants of the saloon which make it an
evil, and not tbe mere selling of liquor.
Tbe analogy in false, and the conscience
based on the analogy is a false consciencs.
The licensing of a saloon aod the licensiog
of a brothel are utterly unlike. A saloon
may be right A brothel never eta be
right. To cure or better the bsIood evil by
high license is ngbt. To do so with broth
els wonld be wroDg.
Second. High lioense has improved mat
ters wherever tried. Prohibition bos been
a failure everywhere. Tbe statistics are
readily found. Maine has more drunken
ness than ever after a score of prohibition
years, lihode Island makes up with clubs
wbat it lost in saloons, and will at present
rates increase in drunkenness in a few
mouths beyond all it bad before. Illinois
has diminished her saloon* and her drunk-
enness by high lioense. Ohio, though set
back by the stupendous folly of woman's
crusades, is now beginning a true reform
by high license. Iu your own tables of ar
rests for drunkenness in Chicago from
