Temperance Orators --- A Suc-
gesfiOm. VA

To make an audience laugh seems to be
the main object of many Of the initerant
lecturers who have entered the list against
intemperance. Funny stories, going to show
that indulgence in strong potations engen-
ders wit and humor, and leads to ludicrous
adventures, are the principal staple Of half
the discourses delivered ostensibly in the
interest of temperance. The tendency of
such harangues is bad They are more
likely to make man in love with inebretY
than to inspire him with horror of it
but there is a popular element in them and
they pay. Just as urchins make merry over
the vagaries of a drunkard in the Street,
children of a larger growth chuckle over
the absurdities of inebriety as illustrated by
facetious temperance lecturers. No sot
will ever be rescued from degradation by
presenting to him the comic phases of the
vice that is destroying him; nor will any
man who has not yet fallen into the slough
of dissipation be saved from it by calling
his attention to the grotesque sayings and
doings of beings already wallowing in its
mire.
One of the most effective arguments in
favor OF total abstinence from Intoxicating
drinks is their un50erS0I and h0rr6bte 0(l,tt-
teTati0n. Never before has what is called
" doctoring" of liquors and wines been
W Vic cdlllc Ndl9SIOtlS tAle1iG
that it is now. Let any temperance lectur-
er who wishes to create profound sensa-
ton in the public mind obtain samples Of
the distilled and fermented liquors sold, and
have them analysed by competent chemists.
Let him exhibit to his audience the pro-
portions of deadly poison which the UNI
erring processes of science prove them to
contain, and he can hardly fail to startle
the moderate drinker and make the drunk
ard shudder. The fact is that under exist
ing revenue laws no man can make living
by selling spurious beverages unless he
mixes the product of the still at least half
and half with poison more or less diluted.
Vile essences and essential oils, ether, Wit
riol, and strychnine are mingled with the
water used to increase the quantity Of the
liquor Thus is the stuff iIpoibed at every
bar fired and favored. The worst liquor
refailed in New York fen years ago ives
not as pernicious as that now sold in what
are called respectable barrooms." Let
this fact be demonstrated las it easily may
be1 and urged upon the attention of the
public by the apostles of temperance 1t
viii surely have a more beneficial effect
than the iocular anecdotes with which
many of them endeavor to amuse their
hearers.
