The first temperance organization which
We have any record of was in England, in
1917, and only prohibited its members
from getting drunk. No member was al
lowed to drink more than fourteen classics
a day. The next organisation was in the
year 1000, and only allowed its members
to get drunk on public days. A century
later society was formed in the State Of
New York in which the penalty for get.
ting drunk was twenty-five oants.

The fame of this creature will 20 down
to posterity loaded with a worse disgrace
and odium than ever followed the memory
of tho notorious Judge Jcffries. BY ma
ture, Stanton is tyrant. His great love
of power centers wholly in the nimblc
dexterity by which it enables him to WELD
its engineering lash and destroy whom he
dislikes. If he did not inaugurate, he
certainly planned the cruel details by
which the Lettres de Catchet filled the
Bastiles that yawned to receive his VIC
tins during the war. So far as we know
or believe, not a single one of the thous-
ands of unfortunate victims of his hate
ever had hearing, or were permitted to
confront any charges against them in any
court. Call not Butler "Beast" when,
with all his coarse brutality, he could not
cope with Stanton. Stanton bears the
palm as the cap sheaf Of official cruelty
and vindctiveness. But the more infamy
he committed the more he was sainted by
his radical satellites. The. more cruel and
desperate his acts, the more they cheered.
lie was considered by them as fit for
treason, stratagem and spils'-fit for any
dirty purpose they required of him. They
wanted spy in Johnson's Cabinet. The
Office of spy, like that of hangman, is On
execrable one, and none but the most
abandoned in principle will undertake
either. But Stanton readily consented to
act the spy for Jacobins. The Civil Office
Tenure Bill was passed expressly to meet
the case. Stanton mas in the Cabinet.-

passed, he threw off all disguise and be-
came an open spy retailing the secrets of
the Cabinet to feed the vile appetites of
his hackers, and openly defied the Presi-
dent to remove him, feeling, as he did,
safe within the decentralization which Con-
gress had thrown around him. But he
counted without his host. He was kicked
out, as any spy ought to have been. But
he was insolent, because he expected of
! course the Senate would reinstate him.
But in the meantime he was called before
the Judiciary committee, and was forced
to admit under oath that he had done
many things for which that committee was
trying to impeach the President. The
committee was leaky and wouldn't hold
water, though it might have held great
deal of something stronger. Stanton's
completely and, in many cases, sole agen-
ey in the ''high crimes and misdemeanors"
| for which the President was being bas-
tinadoed, became known to the manor I;
and the furor in the Radical camp for the
| reinstatement of Stanton began to SUBJ
side. A few continued and do still con-
tinue to throw up their caps and family
cry, ''God save King Edward" but the
masses Of sensible Radicals are sick of f..

hear Of poor Stanton, except through the
channel of that universal execration that
will haunt his memory till vindictive ty-
ranny shall be forgotten.
