LONDON LIQUORS.
A Picture of Intemperanee I'm she
British Capital.
Nas6y in the Toledo Blade,

NdSog IN the Toledo Blade
But the liquors consumed in London
by the lower classes are probably the
most execrable snd vile that the inge-
unity of the haters of mankind have ever
invented. The brandy they drink IS
liquid lightning-chain lightning-which
goes crashing through the system, break
ing down and destroying every pulsation
toward anything good The gin-well,
their gin is the very acme, the absolute
summit, of vileness. There is a quarrel
in every gill of it, a wife beating in
every pint. and murder in every quart.
A smell of glass of it nearly drove me
to criminal recklessness.
And yet they all drink it, and especi-
ally the women. The most disgusting
sight the world can produce is London
GIN drinking woman standing at bar
waiting feverishly for her ''drain," with
unkempt hair, small but intensely
dirty shawl, with stockingless feet, and
shoes down at the heel, with eyes rheUm
and watery, that twinkle with gin light
out from the obscurity of gin swelled
flesh, with face on which the scorching
fingers of depraved appetite have set
red lines, as ineffaceably as though
they had been placed there by red hot
iron, every one of which is the unavailing
protest of a long outraged stomach.
There she stands, blotch upon the face
of nature and satire upon womanhood.
1t is difficult to realize that this bloated
mass was once fair young girl and had
a mother who loved her, and it is equal
ly difficult to comprehend how any pow
er, even that OF nature, could ever make
use of it. But the elements are kindly
to man. When they have done their
work, sweet flowers may grow out of
this putridity.
In America this sort of being exists,
but it is heIded somewhere out of sight.
1t does not stand at the bars in the best
streets to offend the eyes of decent peo-
pie. But it is everywhere here. 1t is
In the Strand and on Piccadilly and Re
gent streets. The average Englishman
of the lower and even the middle classes
dearly love to booze Drunkenness is
not the result either of conviviality or
desperation, as it is in other countries.
1t is the one thing longed for and
set deliberately about. And while
| am about il may say that alcoholiza-
ton is not confined TO the lower order by
any means. Everybody drinks. The
tradesman who can afford it has claret
at his table, and during the day his
drains" of brandy are very frequent.
The gentry and nobility drink more
costly wines and better brandy, but
liquor is everywhere. Nothing is done
without the accompanying drink; it is
universal and in all places. The climate
prevents the injury that would visit the
same man in America, but it hurts. If
the English could only live as tempe
rately as the Americans they would be
the greatest race of people on earth.

During the discussion of the Sumner
Schurz civil service scheme in Congress.
says the st. Louis Globe Rep.), "we
fail to discover the slightest hint that,
among other of its valuable properties,
it was specific against Presidential as
sassinations" Factionism cannot be pre-
vented by the Inauguration of system
making appointments to subordinate
places in the departments, custom houses,
post offices, eIc., dependent upon sue
cess in competitive examinations in
scholarship, and so long as factions exist
and wage bitter warfare, insanity of the
Guiteau type may be naturally expected.
No civil service rules can be applied to
offices in the gift of the people. Fac
tions can and do arise, and can and do
fight to the death. over such offices.
Civil service reform may lessen the de
gree of factionism. but cannot eradicate
it. The disease is too deep seated fol-
the Curtis Eaton remedy.

He provided two miners with food and
