Michigan has law prohibiting tho sale of
alcoholic stimnlanta, md has, moreover, tho
G,0o0 saloons whiol, nsunlly accompany sucl,
law. Tho conjunction Of thcso two facts
has aroused faint suspicion i'll tie poncoful
bosom Of tho average Slicligander that per.
haps prohibition does not prohibit. Gov.
BAaIEr takes q sensible view of the question,
in his message to tho Legislature. IIe por-
tinontly asks: "Why not recognize tho fnct
that there is difference between tlrinlting
and tlr1nkenncsa?" This is one Of those Cpl
gra1nmatic sentences in which much wisdom is
condensed into few words. Since there Is
difference between drinking and drunlson-
LESS, tho Stato's attitude towards
them should be different. Because
drunkenness is an evil to be lcgislatod against
and punished, it does not follow, tho
Governor thinks, TINT drinking is m equal
evil requiring similar repression and punish.
mcnt He draws distinction botwecn tho
use and abuse Of thing. Gov. BAoLEY tells
tho Legislature what in his opinion thoso
laws should bo. The present lnbiity law,
which, like that Of Illinois, is founded on the
Ohio statute, should be retained. Snloona
should be licensed by the Stato, ~ they can-
not be prevented from selling anyway, md
IN broad distinction in tho amount OF tax
between tho sa'o Of distilled liquors aud malt
beverages" should DO nade. Saloon-keeperY
should be required to give bonds to observe
oil tho laws regulating tho traffic. They
should bo forbidden to sell to apprentices.
minors, and common drunkards, and should be
obliged to shut their doors at reasonable hour
Of tho night, and 10 no business onllo1idays
and c1oction-days. This is sound doctrine.
Tho tasto for gtimulants is universal among
mankind, md cannot be 1egBlatcd ont of OK
istance. Experience has shown that its grati-
f1cation by malt beverages is infinitely safer
than by spirits in my Of tho forms of whisky,
rum, eto The proposed distinction in ta1a-
ton between the sales Of tho two sorts Of
stimulants would bo emineutly wise, inas-
! much as it would promote the use Of beer,
| ale, Light wine, ETC., instead Of the " mud.
dening spirits which arc now consum.
complement and perfect Gov. DAa1Ex'a
scheme, however, State md National legis-
| lation is needed Tho State should provide
for rigid inspection of drinkab1cs, and
should destroy all articles in which adul-
teration is detected Very much of the crimo
caused by liquor Is tho direct result Of tho
| drugs Of which the so-called liquor isbut de-
/ coction. # adulteration Of liquor was pre-
vented, crime would gensibly decrease. More
over, this prevention would make the prioa Of
spirituous liquor higher, and would TINS
diminish tho demand for it by increasing that
for malt drinks, which are cheap. The needed
national legislation is a change in tho tariff
which will allow the importation of light
wines at low rates, in order TINT they mny be
sold cheaply, and may therefore take the
place Of the hot and rehellious liquors which
Americans uso altogether too much, chiefly
because they are cheap, while wine is dear.

EARLY AMERICAN LEGAL TENDERS,

4@EA%AA 0AA%]AkANAAAS AENaA A6HOE&k2s
The colonies now embraced within the
United States were not tho only ones which
tried paper currency md legal-tonder acts,
and managed to mako themselves awful
warnings thereby, when American history
was still young. The fifth volume Of AIr.
PAnEstAN's fascinating histories Of tho sottle-
ment Of this country, 1.-THE Old Regime in
Canada, i" contains IN account OF soms notable
financial expedients Of the French rulers Of
our northern neighbor. 1u 1868, the su-
preme Council, sitting OF Quebec, made
wheat q legal tender, and declared TINT three
bushels Of 1t should pass for francs In
1914 the currency was inflated by CIV
ing moose -skius the quality Of g
legal tender. Neither grim nor pelt,
however, proved to DO satisfactory
currency. Coin Was shipped from France
and paid out by tho Government. As mat.
ter OF course, It WIS nll shipped buck. No
body would pay hia debts in hard money,
worth what it pretended to be, when be could
discharge his dues BY dumping fow buahe1s
Of wheat or a parcel Of greasy skins at his
creditora' doors. Then q new ooinage was
struck of for Canada. The Canadian franc
was worth only IL CENTS instead OF 20. OF
course, the first result Of this was nominal
rise in prices. Then the now coins followed
the old onea to France. The next step was
for the merchants to Issue notes, pay
able in fura, gooda, or produce.
by 1886, all these expediants had
broken down. The 1ntendant, II. b1e,les,
had no wAerowithal to pay his soldiers.
"Not knowing" he wrote to the Minister,
ito what saint to make my VOWS, the Idea
occurred to me Of putting in circulation notes
made Of cards, each cut into four piooes and
I have iaaued sn ordinance commanding the
inhabitants to receive them In payment"
This new money was Of good material, to-
wit playing cards 1t was stamped With
various pleasing emblsms, such A. the aeu1-
do-lss and the crown 1t Was lsgal tender !,
and It WAS secured by the faith and re-
sources, not Of the strip Of lAnd now occu-
pied BY the United States, but Of nearly
the whols Of North America, Moreover, it
fulfilled Af. Kx1lsx'a idea Of q good

that we are now between 5000, 900

at tho present rato Of progress, the earth
would tumble into the sun in 1,440 years

HOME FROM THE BLACK HILLs.-Prof.
Walter p. Jenney, chief Of the geological ex-
petition of the Black Hills, and his assistants,
returned to Cheyenne on Saturday. They
have spent five months in the Hills, and have
made quite thorough examination of the
whole country, mapping it from Bellefourche
to the South Fork OF the Cheyenne river. The
Professor reports that gold fields extend 40
miles north from Harney's Peak, 20 miles
wide, containing gold in quantities that will
pay from SO to So per day to the man, and
that there are bars on numbers of streams that
will pay much more than that. The water
supplies are ample for working purposes, and
fully sufficient tocarry water from the top of
most of the bars and allow the tailings to be
readily disposed Of. The gold is coarse, good,
and easily separated from the gravel and sand.
The Professor haswith him an ounce o coarse
gold that two men obtained on Spring Creek
with ten hours labor. An assay shows it to be
"a fine, worth $19.43 in coin to the ounce.
Prof. Jenney corroborates General Clusters
report as to the Black Hills and says that
they will support thousands of miners when
the Government opens them to settlement.
The valleys are all adapted to agricultural,
and the hills and canons to stock raising. The
rainfall is plentiful and timber abundant. His
official report will be made from New York,
probably before Congress meets.

Particulars of the arrest of Messrs Duncan,
Sherman & Co., on complaint of John A.
Robeling's Sons of Trenton, are given in the
State Gazette Of Tuesday, with the following
editorial comment
"The Messrs. Robeling deserve the thanks
of the community for their courageous action
in thus attempting to bring these men to JUS
tice. There is no doubt in the minds of most
men that Duncan, Sherman & Co. have be-
haved in a fraudulent manner, and have failed,
carrying ruin and loss to hundreds of innocent
confiding persons, with their own pockets
plethoric with ill-gotten riches. The loss of
the Messrs. Robeling is trifiing, and they are
therefore entitled to all the more credit for
pressing the case to what must inevitably
prove a costly and vexatious issue in the
Courts. We trust that they will prove en-
tirely successful, and that these lordly rogues
will be compelled to dsgorge their plunder.''

THE WASHINGTON MoNuMENT.--In Wash
ington the Washington Monument Association
is hard at work, and is using every endeavor
to raise the five hundred thousand dollars for
completion of the monument. The appeal
was sent forth to all the lodges and public So
cieties and has met with generous response.
The Grand Lodge of Illinois, at Chicago, has
contributed one thousand dollars and recom-
mended the minor lodges of the State to con-
tribute according to their means. The Monu-
ment Association have on hand twenty thou
sand dollars, and are determined to recon-
mence the work, which has been suspended
for twenty years. There is no truth in the
report that the shaft, as it now stands, is UNI
safe, or in any wise insecure. Every stone is
sound. There will be a deviation from the
original design, which was TO have Pantheon.
The shaft is now ia feet high. When finish
cd it will be 4S5 feet, plain obelisk, with
stone terrace approaching 200 feet in diameter
The obelisk will be finished by statue of
Washington sixty feet high. The stones which
the different States and foreign nations con-
tributed will be placed against the stairway
one above the other, SO that the Inscriptions
can be read as the pilgrims ascend the stairs
In 1902 Congress appropriated two hundred
Thousand dollars for monument to General
George Washington. Not cert of this APP
preparation has ever been-paid. This Winter
there will be an effort made to revive the bill
and secure the money.

regard to the Rev. Mr.. Bates who has now
been the pastor there for year, and by his

den not to open the house on the day of his
appointment to preach, but as they have a

The Journal Of Chemistry warns the drink
crs of water of wells near dwellings to beware
of the typhoid poison, sure to be found sooner
drainage can percolate them. The gelatinous
matter often found upon the stones of well
is poison TO the human system, probably
clusing by its spores fermentation Of the
blood with abnormal heat or fever. Whole
some, untainted water is always free from all
color and odor. TO test it thoroughly, place
half pint in clear bottle, with a few grains
of lump sugar, and expose it, stoppered, to
sunlight, ina window. If, even after an ex-
posure of eight OF ten days, the water becomes
turbid, be sure that the water has been con-
taminated by sewage Of some kind. If it re-
mains perfectly clear, it is pure and safe.
