ished Them,

The otlensc of drunkenness was q
source of great parplcXity to the anciCnts,
who tried every possible way of dealing
with it. If none succeeded, probably it
was because they did not begin early
enough. by intcrccpting some of the way,
and means by which the insilous vice i,
melted and propagated. Severe treat
mcnt was often tried to little effect. The
LOcranS, under Laleucus. made it capt..
al OilcnSc to drink wine, if it was not
miycd with water; even an invalid was
not exempted from punishment except by
order Of physician. Pittacus, of Nifty
lcnc, made a law that he who. when drunk
committed any otlcnsc, would suffer don-
bile the punishment which he would do
sober; and Plato. Aristotle and Plutarch
applauded this aS the height of wisdom.
The Roman CenSOrs could eXpel Il Sem
ator for being drunk and take away his
horse. MOhmmed ordered drunkarls to
be bastinadocd with eighty blows. Other
nations thought of limiting the quantity
to be drunk at one time or one sitting.
The Egyptians put some limit, though
what is not stated. The Spartans, also,
had some limit The Arabians fixed the
quantity at twelve glasses man, but
the size of the glass was unfortunately,
not clearly defined by the historians. The
Anglo-SaXOnS Went no further than to or
der silver nails TO he fixed on the side of
drinking cups, so that each might know
the proper measure. And it is said that
this was done by King Edgar after no.
ticing the drunken habits of the Danes.
Lyclrgus, Of Thrace, went to the root
the matter by ordering the vines to be cut
down. And his conduct was initiated in
7Oi by Terbulus, of Bulgaria. The Suevi
prohibited wine to be imported. And the
Spartans tried to turn the vice into con-
tempt by Systematically making their
slaves drunk once year, to show their
children how foolish and contemplate
men looked in that state. Drunkenness
was deemed much more vicious in some
classes of persons than in others. The an
cient Indians held it lawful 10 kill King
when he was drunk. The Athenians
made it a capital ohense for magistrate
to be drunk; and Charlemagne initiated
this by II law that Judges on the bench
and pleaders should do their business
fasting. The Carthagenians prohibited
magistrates, Governors, soldiers and SER
wants from any drinking. The Scots, in
the second centuy, made it capital Of
fense for magistrates to be drunk; and
Constantine II. of Scotland, SCI, extend
ed like punishment to young people.
Again, some laws have absolutely pro-
hibited wine from being drunk by women;
the Massilians so decreed. The Romans
did the same, and extended the prohibi-
tion to young men under 30 or 45. And
the husband and the wiie's relations
could scourge the wife for offending and
the husband himself might scourge her to
denlh.

We Must Educate.

From the Ohio Greenbacksr.
"Grow in grace and in the knowledge Of
the truth" Is an old time religious injunc-
tlon, and if progression in spiritual life is
dependent upon the growth Of knowledge,
we may conclude that knowledge is essen
tial to success. even in the political field.
We have been too much accustomed to let
Others do our thinking for us. We
listen to the voices of so-called statesmen,
and passively accept their conclusions as
correct.
A new era is ushered in, in which the
people must do their own thinking.
Sturdy old Solon Chase was unwilling to
accept the doctrines set forth by a certain
Congressman who advocated new finan-
cial idea. He set his own brain to work
and after long and patient investigation
he discovered-what? Why, that this
man was right and the others who oppos-
ed the new doctrine was wrong. Straight
way the plain-spoken farmer became a
preacher OF financial truth-the world
knows the result.
Here is living example for other men
to follow. Whatever we may think the
elections indicate, the victory, the final
victory, Is lar in the future. The money
power has existed for ages past and is not
to be overthrown in a day. Those who
hope to elect a Greenback President in
1880 will be bitterly disappointed, unless
they begin at once to train, drill and edu-
cate themselves for the great struggle.
There is no time to lose. Let every man
who believes in the peoples cause go to
work without delay to strengthen it.
While the enemy takes rest after the
fight is our golden opportunity. Spread
the truth. Documents, newspapers, fire.
side chats, country school house discus
sions, and debating clubs are legitimate
weapons within our easy reach. Improve
the time this coming winter, and much
good will be accomplished.
1t was said Of great lawyer that he
was always 'in state of chronic prepare
tion, and so it should be in the case Of

lon Chase;-then $4,000 voters. All this
in spite of the best talent the party in DOW.
er was able to furnish in opposition. Bril-
liant oratory tickles the ear, but it takes
the plain, homespun truth to educate the
masses.

Drawn Butter.-Take one-quarter pound
Of best fresh butter, cut it up, and mix
with it two teaspoonfuls of flour; when
thoroughly mixed, put it into saucepan,
and add to it four tablespoonfuls of cold
water. Cover the pan and set it in ket-
tie of boiling water; shake it round con-
tinually, always moving in the same way.
When the butter is entirely melted and
begins to simmer, then let it rest until it
boils up. In melting butter for pudding,
some substitute milk for water.

POLITICAL MENT.JN,
THE silver in two half dollars is now
worth 741acents. But the fiat still holds
them up.

them up.
THE Greenbackers have candidate foi
congress in every district in Alabama.
The Greenback doctrine Is getting d
strong hold in the southern states. BY
adopting 1t old sectional issues are lost
sight of, are not in issue, and the
country unites in a common bond of inter.
est. This is of itself strong argument
In favor OF the Greenback policy and why
old party issues should be ignored. For
the people shake off the dead past and
look to the living present and the hopeful
future.
The indianapolis Journal advanced the
idea, when the question Of silver remonet.
ization was up, that the "92-cent dollar
should be given enough silver to make il
worth hundred cents. If that had beer
done six months ago, the "dollar of oul
dads" would have been again "92.cent
dollar by this time. The Journal ought
to know by this time that it is impossible
to fix any relation between gold and sll.
yer which can be maintained, since both
are of changeablc value.
Much is said by the organs of the old
parties about the decline of the National
party at the recent election. This is, Of
course, mere electioneering dodge. The
New York Times, one of the most decided
hard money papers in the country and the
organ of the bankers and bondholders
has been studying the recent election re.
turns and has the candor to say that from
recent returns, from OHIO more particular
ly, the soft money strength is favor
able. 1t justly concludes that the Nation
al vote should be added to the Democrati,
vote in order to get the exact GreenbacL
strength. This leaves the Republicans il
Ohio in minority of about thirty-fvt
thousand. The Times says Ohio is nc
longer trusted hard money State;" OIL
the contrary she gave at the recent elec
tlon, taking the Democratic soft money
vote and that of the Nationals together, a
majority for the Greenback policy.
THE advocates of the national bank,
continue to charge that the Greenbacl
party propose to drive the banks out of ex
istence entirely. This is not so. TIL,
Greenback party is not opposed to bank'
