HE'LL - -nty-Nl<A -
If whiskey like arsenic killed
at the first desc, it would not be
as great an evil as it is at pres
ent: and still il would be much
easier to enlist popular indigna-
ton against it, and to secure a
law for the suppression Of its sale.
Il is a fact that it not only kills
a man after it has impoverished,
debascd and ruined him, that en-
ablcs it to defy all efforts to sup
press It's sale. This is SO fer two
reasons. First. because it gen
orally takes a number Of years
drinking to Kill man; each new
victim as he starts on his career
as a moderate drinker, thinks he
will escape the fate that has over
taken thousands Of others who
have started Oh the same road
before him. Second, because
during the time a man is travel
inc the desolatc road from the
first drink to the drunkard :
grave, he is able, at least por-
tion of the time, TO attend TO his
business and earn money, large
per centage of which goes to
these engaged in the traffic.
Hence, temperance reform has to
contend against that popularity
in human nature which makes
every man think that while 9TH
crs are victims he will escape
the natural results of his actions.
And that other and sad trait Of
humanity that impels men to get
money in whatever way they can
do so by lawful means, however
deplorable may be the results of
the traffic upon others. There
is money in the traffic, and hence
it has the protection of the law,
though it destroys thousands of
lives and millions of property.
There is death and disgrace in
the still, but the distiller is res
pectabIe and powerful because
out Of death and disgrace lie
makes money. Ifthe first drink
killed, there would be no more
rum sold than there is of any
other poisons; there would be no
money in it, and the occupation
Of temperance reformers would
be gone. If there was no mon
ey in it and it was still the great
evil that it is, the people would
rise as one man and stamp out
the accused traffic. There is
money in it, but the profit goes
to the few and the less to the
many. Thousands of good men
dare not make an open, vigorous
fight against the traffic, because
there is money in it, and they
dread the power and influence
Of money. 1t is Il disgrace to 4
great civilized, Christian people
that they will permit among them
Il traffic that breeds poverty and
crime Of every grade; that deba-
SEES humanity, and, in fact, pro-
notes everything that is evil and
nothing that is good, because
there is money in it.-Rescue.

Washington Letter.


Spccial Correspondence If The onsERvER
WAsniSGrox, d. e., November 20, 1879.
The Pine-tree State radicals
are in the worst fright they have
eyer known. Last year, when
the oId-fashioned majority was
wiped ont, they had no fear of
permanently losing tie State.
This year, however, they found
that they had a lively fight On
hand, and it was only by Il NEST
extraordinary fight that they
brought their vote for Governor
TO figures near the combined op-
position vote. 1t seemed by the
face of the returns that The rad
icals had the Legislature though
defeated on the popular vote.
However, numerous charges Of
fraud are made, and the present
Democratic governor proposes,
i'm accordance with radical laws
and prccedents, to pass upon the
sufFiciency Of the vote of each
candidate for the Legislature.
1t is this determination or al
legged determination, for the gov
crnor has said nothing of it
that has taken Senator's Blaine
and IIamlin, eight or ten ex-
governors, and nearly all the
members of the Legislature elect
to the capital Of the State. If
the Democrats shall compel the
radicals to take some of their
own medicine it would perhaps
be for the benefit Of the State.
Maine, by the way, has stead
lily declined in population under
the rule of radicalism. Locking
at that State, and at others, it
would seem that hardly any but
purely agricultural community
can flourish under such rule.
The opening up of the Indian
Territory to railroads and TO set
Elements will be powerfully urged
at the coming session of Con-
gress, and viii, with the proposed
transfer Of the Indian Bureau TO
the War Department, be two of
the principal subjects Of nom
partlzan discussion. And, by
the way, there will certainly be
less time spent in political mat
tiers than has ever been the case
at session preceding d Presi-
DENTAL election.
All the candidates for Senator
from Ohio are in this city hclpir g
to honor the memory Of General
Thomas, or to secure the aid of
the Administration in the Sena-
torial contest. Matthews stays
mt the White House as a guest,
Garfield is frequently invited.
Dennison occasionally, while
Taft is said to be ada tilted On y
TO the kitchen. Nevertheless,
the leading opinion here is that
Garfield and Taft will be the
leading candidates when the votes
are counted, and that the race is
between them with the chances
greatly in favor Of Garfield.
There is trouble in the Patent
Office, trouble in the Pension
Office, trouble, as everybody
knows, in the Indian Bureau, and
trouble generally in the Interior
Department. Mr.. Hayes unless
he wants to become responsible
for the utter decentralization of
that Department, should put at
the head of it a thoroughly prac-
tical man. Work in none OF the
Bureaus is promptly or satisfac-
torily performed. MCKAY.

ED. OBsiElsvER-Col. Il. s. n.
Bobo and /. Z. Bobo had on ex-.
hibitien to-day, at this place, al
model machine fer chopping and
cultivating cotton. When prop
crly introduced into the cotton
States, il is destined to work as
great revolution III the culture
Of that staple as the reaper and
mower has done in the saving OF
small grain in all countries where
they have been introduced. Mr..
j. =. Bobo is the ratentee of the
machine; he and the Col. are nnx-
ious that their machine should
be manufactured in the South,
and that the South may have all
the advantages in the way OF
lrcfts arising from the manu-
facture and sale Of the machine.
They will make an effort to or
ganize a stock company, as sew
cral gentlemen of means and en-
terprisc have favored the propo-
sition. The people of Fayettc-
vile and Lincoln county, by TAX
ing the proper steps, can secure
the establishment for the manu-
factory of this machine and 9TH
er agricultural implements, that
will give Fayetteville an ilnpor-
tancc TO herself and the South
never thought of before. The
manufacturing interests of the
South must be developed, and
why not begin now? There is
not farmer, mechanic, merchant
or professional man in Lincoln or
Moore counties that is worthy of
any the above titles that can not
take $50 or 800 stock in such
an enterprise and pay it. / am
of the opinion it would yield a
handsome per cent. The saving
Of freights on farming imple-
ments would in few years pay
back to every farmer the $50 or
500 stock that he takes, wheth-
er the stock paid dividend or
not. To make Fayetteville
manufacturing town, as she can
be made, would give the farmers
of this county % per cent. more
on the products of the farm than
they now get. Two years ago
| was in Pennsylvania, the farm
ers were hauling their wheat to
the mills in their county towns
and getting SLIGO per bushel and
we getting so cts, let us go. to
work then. More anon.

ROmanism in New England.

An examination of statistics shows a
remarkable growth of Roman Catholic
ism in New England during the last
thirty years. There are now connected
with this church six dioceses, one arch
bishop, five bishops, 596 priests, 500
churches, eigbty-one chapels, two col
leges, thirty academies, 1O7 parocbjal
schools, containing $500 pupils; nine
teen asylums, seven hospitals, and q
Catholic population of 861 900. The
growth in thirty years Is indicated by
figures which show the increase in that
time of four dioceses, four bishops, ;524
priests, 525 churches and chapels, twen-
fy-nine academies, 107 parochial schools.
twenty-three asylnms, and 761 600 Cath
olic population. Ii these figures repre-
sented spread of the Romlsh faith
among resident population they would
certainly be startling, and much has al
ready been made of them as indications
of remarkable church growth, and as
prophetic of the future strength Of the
Romish church in this country; but it
is significant that they nearly cores
pond with the increase of foreign popu-
lation in New England in the same ne
riod of time. The Boston Weekly Ad-
vertiser estimates the increase of for
eign population during this period, by
immigration and by birth from foreign
born parents, at about $4,000. The
spread of Romsnism has been therefore,
almost entirely among its own adhe-
rents. Christian Union.

in which Is virtues resided. The plant
with this odd history IL very good
emblem of many well-mcaning bat little
efiecting people. The efficacy of every
good work lies in its completion, and
all, their good works terminate abruptly
and are left OIL. The devil illustrates
their efficacy by cutting of their ends;
their Improbable history Is made up of
plans and projects, schemes of useful
ness that were never gone about, and
magnificent undertakings that were
never carried forward.-(James Ham
