Frank Foxcroft gives the following tacts iu the Congregationalist as to the success of no license in Cambridge, Mass: "Prior to May 1, 1887, the city was for five years under license. Since that time, eight years.no licenses have been granted. To begin with, 122 saloons have been closed, Tho majority of the children in the public schools of Cambridge do not know what an open saloon looks like, except as they have seen it in some other city or town. During the last sis years of lie valuation of Cambridge increased by $8,010,000. During the next six years, under no license, there was a gain of $16,578,000, or almost twice the gain of the licensed period.

On this accelerated gain Cambridge collects each year about $130,000 more than would have been possible if the gain had continued at the old rate, This is why so little is heard In (yam-bridge of the revenue argument for license. The increase iu population was 2.6 per cent, per anutu; under no license it has been 4.75 per cent, per annum, or almost twice as much, Dur ing five license years, 1880 fo 1885, there were 775 new houses built in Cam-, bridge, an average of 104 each year, Iu 1894, in spite of the hard times, there were 494 new houses built, or about two and one-half as many as under license. All these figures tell one story A no-license city is a better place to live in than a license city; people find it out and move in, Last year was a hard year. It does not matter about the cause; perhaps it was the tariff, perhaps it was the currency; perhaps it was the spot on the sun, Anyway, it was a hard year, and iu Cambridge, as elsewhere, many people who had laid by money iu the savings banks for a rainy day had come, and were obliged to draw it out. But iu spite of all this, the net increase in the deposits of the Cambridge savings banks during the year ending October 1, 1894, was $329,915.47, and the total deposits on that date were the largest in the history of the city.

The deposits last year were larger by more than $600,000 than they were in the last license year. In East Cambridge the chief manufacturing section of the city, the deposits last year were four times as large as in 1892 under license) The figures are all of one kind they furnish a conclusive answer to all of the familiar objections to no-license; aud they show that even in a city of mora thau 80,000 inhabitants it is possible to vote the saloons out, and to keep them out, to the material as well as the moral advantage of the com munity." our city received the nomination for Register of Deeds at the hands ot the This morniug, as has beeu his custom, Wallace left the house early, without they aro calling' tuoir team the "Win-fielders."
