THE w EEKLY REGIsTER-

that to make man social, l don't want to
be social.
To sum up all The evils Of these shops
would take lifetime. but will name
very few Of them. The time men spend
there, is time they should spend with their
families. While The men are ct these rum
shops, the women are YEARLY waiting at
home and the children are running loose
in the streets, sadly neglected. ] occa-
siou6lly pass one Of these shops, aud late
IN tue night have seen men there, whose
heads we're very much muddled; while
short distance further aloUg l passed o
house with light burning in it, and saw
neglected wife waiting for ono Of these
men TO come home. How much Of an i'm
proyemept it would be to spend those ey-
enings cheerfulIy at home, in the midst Of
their families.
Another serious objection is the amount
Of money spent for liquors in these legali-
zed houses Of intemperancc. Every cent
sPeut there is money that should be spent
in procuring comforts for the family of the
drinker. II is not right to spend money
in sinful indulgence. which makes men
worse, the more they indulge in it. To
keep one shop in good running order will
stint at least twenty families, aud reduce
q few tn absolute want and destitution.-
Should o board of intelligent men actually
vote such things to be done, simply to al
low few men to make living, and bring
a few hundred dollars into the treasury
have not spoken Of the extreme cases
where men drink continually and habitu-
ally, and comr heme besstly drunk, late
every night, aud abuse their wives and
children, who dread their coming, Nor
efthose who actually steal the money their
wives and children earn, and even take tho
cbildrens clothing, and household articles
and spend for the maddening drink, which
makes them abuse aud beat those once-lo-
we'd ones, when they go home, I have no
doubt there are few of these extreme
cases in this county. know of few.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that our eli
cense granting powers" will make some
progress, morally aud socially, and get
their official eyes open to this evil, some
time between new and the twentieth CEN
tnry! Ia the meantime let all those, who
work for the public good, vote for those
men for Supervisors who have their eyes
open. CLETE.

The Berkeley Onion says, Pity, truth

inely the stock in trade Of Democratic
Journalists. The purity ofthe ballot-box

are the hobbies Of their editors and stump

upon Republicans, and paraded before the

Our Registration law and the officers char
sea with its execution; from the Governor
down, are grossly and yilely abused 10 the
Ciirtiest ilhiest slang Of corrupt writer's
and speakers. Why? Simply because q
man docs his duty honestly and conscient-
iously. When asked to sustain their
charges, nothing is produced. But a
fortnight since, Governor Stevenson nails
the lie at the very door Of the most active
leaders Of the Democ racy in the State

The importance Of this is not generally under

single cogs on both ends of the shaft, expecting TO
get the same advantage. but articles can discon-
meet these single cog-wheels continually on either
side or the other, onehalf of the power of the
cogs is constantly lost; if large article passes
