A new form of proceeding is about to be attempted for forcing States topay their bonds. The federal constitution now allows States to sue other States, but States cannot be sued by individuals. It is proposed by the State of Vermont to take an assignment, of certain State bonds, and then sue them up in the fed eral courts It strikes us that such an evasion of plain provision of the constitution would hardly find favor In our courts. Moreover the irritation that would naturally follow between sister States who should thus buy up claims against each other would be evidently against public policy. ee..

The Temperance Question.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 16, 1879.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, Aug. 10, 1873. :
 EDITOR ENQUIRER: Many and numerous are the excellent arguments in favor of both prohibition and license. The old question Of whether it is right to do wrong that good may result, receives usually but the negative res- ponse. There is however another view of it.
 Whatever produces good must itself be good. An evil tree cannot bring forth good fruit, If the fruit is good the tree must be good. What ever conduct brings good results that conduct itself must be good It may not be always in our wisdom to see it but how can It be other- wise. Hence It would seem to be only folly to ask if it is right to do evil that good may come. There will be right and wrong that wrong side to be wrong. Whatever is, is right" There is more truth in thls than at first glance appears. It is right for an apple to be green till it is ripe. The green apple is bitter and injurious, but this is right for it can do no better. While human beings are im- mature and green it is right for them to stum- ble and fall. It is the best they can do.
 According to geology the world was crude many million years before it was perfect, and it is doubted whether nature yet has the work completed, but it was right for this crudeness of nature to be. It was the best nature could then do In the human family there is diff ference in individuals. Some, through vari- ous reasons, are in advance of others. The ways of the most inferior are as nearly right, from natures standpoint, as the better lives of the more just. Improvements result from conflict, thus making the conflicts right.
 To many minds the most stringent temper ance laws alone are right Others again have only got far enough to see that very high i- cense. so high as to reduce the number of sa- looms from ten down to about one is preferable. If this is the best we can do, then why is it not right? Take this step first,- and the next higher step would be more likely to follow. The Neal Dow reform is the exception in na- ture's movements, and not the rule. When John Bright was advocating, in England, the adoption of the American constitution entire, he was asked in private if he really meant it. He said, ''no, but then in order to get little, we must ask for great deal.'' So let the to. tai abstinence class go on asking for prohibi tion there will be no danger of their getting tco much, nor getting it too fast. E. W. B..

general interest in this country. Unless we are under very grave misapprehesion the subject has received far more thought and effort in Europe than with us. Shall we who are g. apt to boast of our superior virtue our striding progress, and our quick sense of justice, treat this question with indifference? R. | It is pleasing to note from Sir Geo. Camp bells views of the greater temperance of America as compared with Great Britain, the 1 great advance that has been made in this coun- | try towards habits of abstinence from alcohol | ic drinks. It will be observed that he lays great stress on difference ofclimate to account for this difference of practice We make the following extract from the Tribune critique | of his book:
 | The general abstinence from alcoholic li- | quors by the American people was matter of great astonishment to the author. But he takes it for granted that there was little or no drinking except what he saw. The Ameri- cans, he remarks, at their meals drink no al- coholic liquors at all. It seems to be contra ry to their habits, almost to good morals and good manners, to drink in public at least In great American hotel, you will not see one in hundred who takes anything stronger than tea and coffee, or if you do, he IS foreigner. They drink an abundance of milk, but no beer, nor wine, nor spirits. Some persons, no doubt, he adds, make up by drinking at the bars but even these are little frequented. If you want first class American drinks, you must go to the cafes on the Paris Boulevards, for you will not get them in America. In some parts of the country, it is the custom to invite friend to ''take drink" at the bar, and there are evening parties of men at which wine is introduced, but one does not see much of this sort of thing. Among the people at large, the author found less public drinking than in Great Britain. If good deal is con- sumed, it is done Tn a more decent way. This is owing in part. he thinks, to the influence of the climate. A Scotchman, it is said, will drink good deal of whiskey and die in his bed at the age of eighty, but the same quanti- ty would kill an American in much less time.. Thus necessity compels certain degree of moderation.
