TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

AS Red Ribbonlsm," or the temperance
agitation, has reached Ottawa IN the WORK H.
augurated by DR.. Whitney, the friends OF the
cause seem to be of opinion that ii might be
materially aided through the local newspapers.
To that end we have offered them the use of a
column, to be filled with matter furnished by a
committee of their own selection. OF course,
what original matter appears therefore IN this
column is the writing of one or the other OF
said committee and not Of the cuitor of the
FREE TRADER-thc editorial "we"-if it oc-
curs-mcaning them not us. While we have
no doubt we shall be able to endorse most of
what appears here, we shall not insist on eX-
Guiding matter we may not endorse, being in
tone and manner otherwise unobjectiona-
bic With this understanding rs to the extent
of our responsibility, we turn the column over
to the committee.

4 large mass meeting, called by the Citizens
League, met "a few evenings since for the con-
sideration of the subject of selling liquors to
minors, by the saloon keepers. There have
been Il large number of convictions for this of
tense, and the licenses Of nine saloons have
been revoked for repeated violations. Mr.. Eel
on, superintendent of the House of Correction
being introduced gave the following facts con
corning the extent of the evil. He said:
During the six years ending Dec. 81, 1871
there were received at the House OF Correction
2,123 children, aged from to ID years, and
5,752 whose ages ranged from 16 to 2O-a total
of 1915 minors. A large percentage were re-
commitments, some having been received sew
eral times In 1877, the number received was
l,7S2,-of whom Alb were between I and ID
and 1909 between 16 and 20. The number
now in the County Jail awaiting trial under
49, was %, and between 10 and 20, 10. The
causes leading to crime were numerous, but
the chief were heredity and the neglect fpar
cnts to properly take care of their children,
and to give them not merely secular knowl
edge, but moral instruction, and to impar'
habits of industry. The remedy for Juvenile
Delinquency was the making of laws that, il
parents did not see to their children, the au
thoritics might assume that duty-take the
custody of them at an early age, for the chance
of development for the better were weakened
by every days addition to their age. Tho
hands of philanthropy should be put upor
them. Selling liquor to children should bC
arrested For preventive purposes break NJ
the rendezvous of criminals. The arrest of TIT
keeper would do more than the arrest of nj
the inmates. Efforts must not he relaxed o
the result would be faulty.

Temperance.

The cause of temperance Is coming TO inc
front. Religious REVEALS taking the form OIL
temperance revivals of really surprising popu'
lar power, are springing up in all the states
cast and west, and the crusade waged by socie'
ties for the prevention of crime against the IL
legal liquor sellers is carrying CONSERVATION
into the camp of the enemy, Respectable citi
zens are awaking out of their torpor of lndif
ference and moral cowardice. Possibly" hard
times" and determination to lessen, If posi-
Bile the burdens of taxation, have something
to do with it. In this matter New York city
has grandly taken the lead. The well concerted
raid ordered by the police board Of that city
and faithfully carried out under instructions
from the superintendent was really brilliant
stroke Of municipal authority; law, right, hui
manity-every reasonable consideration stands
in its favor. In city and village, everywhere
there is a call for the same tranquil vengeance
and vehemence of purpose in the enforcement
of law and the reinforcement of that public
sentiment which nccesstates good laws, while
the enemies of society are learning to become
a law of Righteousness unto themselves There
are untold blessings in store for such com
muntics as show themselves first forward and
then remain steadfast, in the grand work.

CABBAGLS PACKED sN STRAw.;

How cunning overreached itself is thus described by the Lewistown (Me.) Journal. An inoffensiye-looking barrel of cabbages stood in the lower Maine Central Depot recently, when Officer Roach laid his eye upon it. It surely contained cabbagvs, for tue green leaves of the vegetable heads protruded through the air holes cut in the barrel slaves. A piece of bagging, too, covered the head of the barrel, after tue fashion of vegetable barrels. The officer felt tue cabbage heads through this cover- ing. It would be seen that no more proof would be needed that the contents were not contraband. But few wisps of straw protruded from the loose slaves at the bot tom of the barrel. Cilbbages are, no doubt, very delicate articles, but shippers do not usually pack them in straw. The barrel was seized and the contents exani- iued. First came half-dozen cabbage heads. Then came Q head of . different sort-the head of ten gallon keg of whis. ky. Cabbages had been cut in halves and the pieces pack d against the keg so us to. be seen through the air holes. This was an ingenious dodge on tue part of the send CT, but packing wisps of straw in place of the cabbages in the bottom of the barrel proved to b. false economy.
