WHETHER tho existence OF grogshops in
community is matter calculated 10 give
either pleasure or profit to that community is
problem upon which the Temperance Bureau
Of Chicago has been at work lately, using the
official statistics az o basis OF operations, The
figures they give indicate that during the cur
rent year s12S,OCO has been paid IN Chicago
for licenses and 1000 in fines, a total OF S132,
coo. On the other hand the bureau claims at
least one-half of the expenses for police-S29O, =
COOS caused by the saloons; also, one. half of
the expenses Of sustaining tue Criminal Court
-@25, coo. 10 this sum must be added 10000
for feeding prisoners, and one-half the annual
pauper and insane exponae, 800, 600. This
gives grand total OF 100000 directly charga-
bic to the traffic in liquor Deductins the
amount received from licenses and fines, there
is of balance $27S, 900 against the license sys-
tenn. In addition to this, the officers say If we
take into account the $40, 600 to S15, 000,-
0OOannually spent by laborers in tho saloons OF
Chicago, we have an appalling balance against
the license system. They say 1t should also be
borne in mind that the sales Of liquor in Iii
nois amount to 514O, 900, 600 per annum-an
amount equal to the value OF all the capital
stock Of all the railways in the State. There
are now in Chicago $500 licensed saloons, or
about one saloon to every 16 voters. To the
financial view of it should be added that other
view of it which George Driver took in that
city the other day when he stood upon the
scaffold, and, taking in his hand the moose
that was yawning for his neck, charged upon
his auditors the recollection that whisky had
made him murderer, and brought him to his
dlsgraceful death. There is scarcely murder
in which the murderer does not seek to excuse
the crime on the ground that he was drunk
when he did it.
