German writer's, grave as well az

English operatives have aroused the right
eous wrath Of many Teutonic journalist,
In whose comments upon his own country
mems amazing ieats in the way Of swSl-
lowing gallons OF ale at q sitting his read
eTs might search in vain for an expression
OF condemnation. It would appear, how
ever, that whether or not the Germans Of
times past were justified by facts in laying
claim to be q conspiCuously sober people,
the Germans of to-day are unquestionably
open to the same reproaGh that they
have been accustomed to lavish in
such profusion upon Englishmen. We
learn from Berlin that so enormous
has been the increase OF "excessive
drunkenness" within the last few years
that the imperial chancellor has Just sub
mitted to the federal council q bill devised
BY him for the repression OF habit
which "has become q national scandal" "
Hard times and cheap spirits are terrible
promoters Of inebriety, and 1t is more
than probable that the severe trials
through which German agriculture, COM
merce and industry have recently passed,
and the low prices at which corn and po-
tato brandy are purChasable throug hout
the Fatherland, may have brought about
the deploTable prevalence OF drunkenness
with which Prince Bismarck proposes To
grapple by exceptional legislation.

interests in this were held by Mr., Hatch,

gentlemen make the freight charges o
high as to make It absolutely impossible
f0F anyone but the agency, which

TO ship coal or lumber to market and
realize profit on 1t. They thus secure
monopoly Of the trade at their own
figures.
