LONDON. June l7.--Sir Edward Wal

company that two experimental shafts

shaft on the English side galleries 800

during the last week was 81 yards,
which is equal to two miles nearly.

the drinking of the liquor that does the
mischief. The drunkard is then the
principal criminal, and all that any law
can make the liquor seller, is, All acces-
sorry before the fact. The manufacture
| and sale of liquor are governed by the
drinking capacity of the country. The
demand regulates the supply. If liq-
uor is not in demand for drinking pur-
poses, it will not be sold for such pur-
poses, and if it can not be sold it will
not be made.
What then is the remedy? The an
swer is, throw the whole license sys-
tenn to the winds. IA 8 source Of rev.
enue it is worse than failure. It is a
reproach to our civilization and public
morality, because if the payment OF a
sum of money can legitimate liquor
selling, it can do as much for a bawdy
house
Let the State then take the ground,
that there is no more sense in law to
regulate the trade in liquors, than in a
law to regulate the trade i'm shoes. Let
it further take the ground that the man
who gets drunk commits a crime; and
upon conviction, can be punished for it
by legal process; the liquor seller being
held an accessory before the fact.
In regard to the punishment to be
assessed; if he is fined the money is
taken from his family, or those depend
ent on him. Ifyou imprisOn him, you
merely deprive those dependent on him
of their support; and the State has to
pay his board bill, and many people
will care but little for going to Jail for a
few days, or even weeks.
Not having the fear of Mrs. Virgin
ia l.. Minor, before his eyes, the writer
sguarely takes the ground that our
civilization demands the whipping
post and ducking stool as its compile
nlent.
Be it remembered that remark is not
limited to the State Of Missouri. The
writer has been in eighteen different
States of this Union, and is not de-
nouneing Missouri as being in any wise
worse than her sister States.
In furnishing the drunkard and his
accessory, it might answer to punish
the first offence at the whipping-post,
the second conviction to be followed by
All increased flashing, and then shaw
ing their heads; for subsequent convic-
tions painting the shaved head, could
be added, ali additional color being u.s.
ed for each additional conviction.
This might make them ridiculous but
not infamous. But do you ask why do
all this to the drunkard and his access
sorry? The answer is that drunkenness
is disease, and is as durable, as any
other disease. The difficulty is that
the sick man is unwilling to be cured.
A distinguished author who wrote
twenty-nine centuries ago, describing
to drunkard his folly, says, "They
have stricken me, shalt thou say, and
was not sick; they have beaten me
and felt it not; when shall awake,
I will seek it yet again."
The object of the above described
course of treatment, is to make the
drunkard willing to be cured.
The writer of this has furnished the
recipe for the cure to more than one
of the physicians of Arcadia Valley;
and will lay it before the general pub
lie, with all needful explanations, if re-
quested.
Our next paper will examine cur
common school system.

Some Things.

There will not be any attempt made
to settle any mans relations to any
matter discussed in this article, by his
political or partizan affinities; such a
basis of classification not being justified
by the facts.
AS it will probably be at least eigh-
teen months before the voice of the leg.
islator will be Leard in the land, now
is the time to prepare material for leg
islation.
Many valuable measures fail to be-
come laws, because they have not been
sufficiently digested and matured by
their originators. When vast mass
of.crude materials more or less connect
ed with some certain subject has been
dumped into the halls of legislation,
the State Fathers are not under any
obligation to arrange, digest and ma
ture it into law, more than the editor
of a newspaper is bound to make sense
out of every thing sent to him for pub
LEGATION.
Our great benefit of Legislature
meeting once in two years is, that it
affords double time to mature and ed
ucate the public mind up to measures
demanding legislative action.
State:Legislatures meeting once in
in five years would be still better. and
could transact more business in more
intelligent manner.
AS it is, very important measures
are suddenly thrown before the Legis-
lature, which must either give them
the go by for want of time, or make
them the subjects of crude enactments.
It will follow then that now is the
best time to prepare material requiring
failure legislation.
Among other subjects that should
demand legislative attention we may
mention
PROHIBITION.
Many things that are wise. and more
that are otherwise, have already been
written and spoken in regard to the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, but the
subject is not yet exhausted.
For fcrty-five years, as boy and a
man. the writer of this has has been
either an active participant in, or a
keenly interested spectator of, the va
rying fortunes of the heady fight on
this subject; and whilst all his sympa-
thies have been in favor of the repres-
sion of this traffic, yet he is compelled
to confess that hitherto all measures
tried have proven themselves to be
''most lame and impotent conclusions"
The only just reason that can he as
signed for these repeated failures, is
that the remedy for the evils COM
planned of has not been applied in the
proper place.
Hitherto the attacks have been di-
rected against the men that made and
sold the liquor. These are deemed and
taken to be the criminals, and are de-
nounced and. held up to public execra-
ton, whist the man who drinks the
liquor is deemed as poor, unfortunate
being, needing and deserving sympa-
thy, who is to be petted and pitied, and
fed on pie and chicken.
Is this the right view of the case? A

Reformers, again, are very apt to overlook
the witty rejoinder of the old preacher to the
younger one of the necessity of discriminating
between inspiration and perspiration; in other
words, great zeal in prosecution is not salts
factory guarantee of excellence of object. He
might have gone further. Men are beginning
to believe that great intensity of feeling indi-
Gates lack of mental breadth; and, although
we should not like to diminish any genuine
earnestness of purpose in our excellent New
England reformers, We must add the truism
they so often appear to forget that sincerity of
conviction and earnestness of purpose are as
consistent with erroneous thinking and meas
ures as with correct judgments and acts The
Mohammedans who fought the Crusaders were
as sincere and earnest as theil Christian foes.
Perhaps the most important fact observed
1--WE omit several minor points of interest) is
this. namely, that the various reform move
nents are pushed on by persons not in need
of, or not likely to receive any considerable
benefit from the particular reform advo-
Gated. These reforms, in other words, are
essentially philanthropical. They are the re-
suit of the surplus energy of society-that
which is not required in bread winning
or expended in personal cultivation. They are
in the hands of the comfortable, as distin-
guished from the uncomfortable, members of
society. The significance of this fact may not be
at once apparent 1t means that we have in
this country today large number of persons
who really desire to make their chief occupa-
tion one of labor to increase human welfare.
They are not monks or nuns ascetically in
clined, or who have the ulterior object of saw
ing their own souls with greater surety than
they could hope for in any other mode of liv-
ing, but they are persons who derive keen
enjoyment from the hope and belief that they
are making the world a little better to live in
today or to morrow than it was yesterday OF
course. a critic with magnifying glass or
without one would not fail to discover some
less worthy motives mingling with and uuali-
flying the principal one. A little bit of per-
sonal vanity may creep in, the desire for fame
to be won on the platform, the wish for
philanthopist's reputation and sometimes,
the perception that this may prove the easiest
ladder by which to mount to some money-mak-
ing height; but, notwithstanding all shortcom-
ings, the important fact remains that we have
established a new profession-the business of
reform-and have produced class of persons
whose tastes lead them to engage in this bust
ness
