The National Brewers Congress, at
Chicago, a few weeks ago, decided to
furnish a certain Kansas brewer S75,-
900 to contest the validity of the pro-
hibitory amendment In the Supreme
Court of the United States, on the
ground that he had been encouraged by
the state to invest large amount of
money in the brewing business, which
should not be destroyed without remu-
neration.
Let states take warning by this reflex
influence of their past completely with
the liquor business. But who was s'the
state" which encouraged this invest
ment? Not the sober, virtuous major
ity, but the very minority who now
proposes to break down the will of the
majority.
How did this minority secure this
control? BY debauching voters with
drink, and by the money they made
from the virtue, peace, happiness, pros
perity and morals of people, which
money and debauchery was used in
ways to control political influences, and
control "the state" at their dictation.
That day is past. If the Supreme Court
OF the United States wants to inaugur-
ate civil war compared with. which the
rebellion was pigmy, let it overturn
the will of the people of Kansas and of
other states in the matter of prohibi-
lion. If the courts choose to hand this
country over bound hand and foot TO
the German brewers and distillers, the
native people of these Uunited States
will unite regardless of party to crush
this power. Then, as to the question
of "vested rights" and remuneration"
What brewer or distiller would under
take to "remuneratc" all the homes his
liquor has destroyed, to restore DANA
ges for all the families he has robbed of
support, to supply the value of the
habits of industry he has destroyed, to
lift in actual cash all the cash burdens
his business has entailed upon the peo-
pie?
The people also have "vcstcd rights
as citizens of the state to be protected
from all that demoralzes, endangers
and corrupts, as far as it is possible for
the state to do, they have vested right
to bo protected from unreasonable and
Unnecessary taxation.
1t was unjust taxation which breathed
the impulse of freedom into life which
launched this government. Just think
what the people of Indiana sacrifice an
nually to sustain comparatively in
finitesimal proportion of its inhabitants
in the liquor business Just think ofthe
drink bill she pays, Sll ,03S,72S to get
so, ,ISI ,O17 in revenue: to say nothing
of the money spent in gaming and Ii
centiousness in connection with, and as
consequence of this drink bill to say
nothing of the cost of police, court,
prisons, pauperism, crime and insanity
growing out of it! Verify, there are
two sides to the question of "vested
rights and Remuneration" but the
liquor interests never see anything but
their own money Golfers, and Uncle
Sam has become so blinded that he
seems to see nothing but the revenue
that flows into his Golfers.
Uncle Sam, you just sweep away this
brewing, distilling and saloon business,
and the good, loyal, true hearts of your
people will gladly take care of your
money drawer, and keep it sufficiently
well filed.-G Miss Hoyt, in Seymour
Ind.) Monitor-Journal.

fe men Of business, step this way,
Please notice what have to say;
IT'S simply this I would advise:
Do not forget to advertise.
The efforts OF an honest man,
When made according to this plan,

And wealth will be certain thing.
How is il with the stingy knavci
Dcsirous all his cash to save;
He gains no wealth, and wins no prizc,
Because he does not advertise.
Suppose the cost seems rather high,
Twill surely pay you by and by,
And all the world will soon despise

Why should you wait 1t will not pay;
SO send your orders right away
Straight to this sheet, where friendly eye
Await to see you advertise.

Success it cannot fail to bring.

Alcoholic slavery curses both the

the wars, pestilence and famine since

partial success, while still others met
with defeat, but not disastrous defeat,

A recent advertisement of New
York bird -fancier offers to purchasers
the opportunity of buying some
swearing parrots" There is one adj
vantage in thus candidly labelling the
unfortunate pupils of accomplished
teachers of profanity-they will not be
likely to find changed surroundings in
the homes of their new owners, for the
proud possessor of a swearing parrot
will be pretty sure to be fond of the
sort of language that his bird will give
him; nor will all the wickedness in his
house, nor the worst wickedness, be be-
hind the bird-cage bars. Indeed, we
are inclined to think that most of the
profanity in the world comes from
swearing parrots-from boys and men
who do not swear because they really
think swearing a commendable form of
speech, or an aid to eloquence, or a
pleasure to society, but who use profane
language merely because they have
heard others use it, and have Just brains
enough to initiate other peoples vices.

Jay GOuid's Power.

Jay Gould's movements are
watched more intensely than those
Of Vanderbilt, because he is
considered the man of destiny.
Coming down the Hudson river
road lately l noticed in one corner
of the car a cOuntenance on which
many a glance was concentrated.
There was a massive black beard,
a parrot-like beak, and a pair Of
jet black eyes piercing and intense
in expression. A red handker-
chief encircled the neck, and. the
diminutive body was epcased in a
plain o~yercoat. Such was the last
appearance Of Jay Gould before
he went South, and since his return
he is more eagerly watched tLan
ever Ly the specializing crowd.
He now controls a half dozen
railroads, aud will probably add
a few more to the list before the
close of the year. Gould has a
peculiar faculty of concealing his
purposes until the time of develop
ment. No one has ever been in
his confidence. He nses his
associates to serve his purposes,
and they, as a matter Of course,
share handsomely in the profits,
bat as a business man he "dwelis
apart" and may therefore Ire
termed the hermit king of Wall
street. He is COW rebuilding the
conservatory recently destro,e ed
by fire, and is determined that it
shall excel anything of the kind in
America.
