DRUNKENNESS IN GERMANY.-E Elk Mayor

DRUNKENNESS IN GERMANY Elk Mayor
Joseph Medill writes to the Chicago Tribune
from Germany as follows: drunkenness is so
rare and infrequent that it may be said not to
exist. have Travelled thousands of miles
through Germany in various directions, visiting
nearly all the chief cities, and have made dill
gent inquiry of American EConsuls and other
well-informed persons, and received bat one
answer everywhere, viz: No drunkenness
among the Germans; public sentiment would
not tolerate it, the habits of the country are all
agai INST it, The reason of this freedom from
inch ration is the total absence of whiskey, and
the substitution Of the milder beer Whiskey
is the hog that possesses the spirit of the rag
ing devil, and the cultivation of whose intimate
acquaintance makes so many beasts and loaf
ers of Irishmen and Americans in the United
States -

troubles of the salary grabbers in the pend
ders if we mean s.H. H." referring doubt
less to Senator Hamlin. We have supposed
that the Commercial was well enough inform
ed respecting current events to know that
Senator Hamlin voted against the salary bill
and was one OF the first to cover his increase
into the Treasury. If it knew this, why give
the impression that Mr.. Hamlin is not all
right on the so-called salary grab?

Act on The Defensive.

Persons who subject to the influences of bad
air and unwholesome water to constant exposure out
of doors and sudden changes of weather. should act
the defensive by imparting to TIER constitutions
the power of resisting such influences The fortifying
effects upon the system of Hostetters Stomach Bittere
are simply amazing. Thousands who use them
preventive of malaria enjoy alb slute immunity
from its attacks, although dwelling in regions where
that scourge is most prevalent Artisans and labor
whose occupations keep them in the open air. find
the Bitters complete safeguard against the effects
of exposure. Travellers testify that they counteract
the influence of torrid heat, intense cold and MAS
matte air. Free from every Objectionable feature,
pure, understanding, containing only vegetable in
gradients an agreeable stimulant, wholesome tonic
and corrective, and sovereign protective, it is not
surprising that the Bitters should be the most pop
ular of American remedies.

PROF. PERRY of Williams College, in a
public address at Omaha, called New Eng
land very hard names in his free trade speech.
Evidently the Professor has forgotten the
sound drubbing Horace Greeley gave him in
Boston in 1870. 1t isn't good policy for
New Highlander to tell the West that New
Englanders in general are its foes, because in
the first.place it isn't good policy to lie. and
in the second place there is no sense in ex-
citing the West against the East.

IT looks rather dubious in the Republican

Now his time has come

PoRTLAD MUsEUM.-Saturday evening tho
opera season at the Museum closed. There was
an excellent attendance, and the season closed
successfully. The thanks of our people are due
to Messrs, Shaw s. Ellis for charming week
of opera
The matinee season was successfully inaugu-
rated Saturday afternoon. There was a very
good audience present, and the opera of "The
Bohemian Girl" was well presented. These
ma.inees give promise of becoming very popu-
lar, as they make pleasing and unexceptiora-
BILE entertainment.
This evening the pleasing musical coined, of
The Flower Girls of Paris" better known as
THE Pride of tho Market" will be presented,
with Mr.. James Arnold in his great role of the
Marquis de Volange. The comedy abounds in
pleasing situations, sparkling dialogues, and
fine music, and ought to draw crowded houses.
