Legal Prohibition fthe Liquor Traffic

! In many ways the state takes tn,
family under its protection and guard
it from without. Find ny polygamy a
variance with the moral unity of tn,
| family, it Furnishes it as crime
Knowing that violation of the purity
of the marriage relation tends t
destroy the existence of tho family, Il
pronounces Judgment upon it as &
most heinous offence. 1t prescribel
and regulates the forms and condition
of marriage and divorce, and prohibit,
certain persons from contracting mar.
riage. If the traffic in intoxicating
liquors smites the family as with pes.
tilential blast, leaving it In sickness
and death, is it not the duty of the
state to interpose2 And who denies
but that it clothes wives in the habili-
ments of mourning and sends forth or
phan children as paupers committed to
the tender mercies of the state2 The
family is thus scattered and destro we'd.
No one can doubt that the traffic in in.
toxlcating liquors is opposed to the
welfare of the state. And if the end of
the state Is not merely to live, but. as
Aristotle says, to live nobly, then
surely it should not tolerate that which
Is everywhere confessed to be the
states bane and curse.
OF the assertion so frequently made
that prohibito-y law cannot be ell
forced, all that 1t is necessary to say is
that desire is father to the thought.
That the remedy is not completely sue
cessful is conceded. No law ever Is,
Laws against murder, adultery, arson
and theft exist In every civilized state
and notwithstanding these ofienses are
of frequent occurrence. Yet no one
proposes 10 abolish them in conse.
quence of their failure to completely
do away with crime.
Amasa Walker says: If there Ia any
habit or practice which brings disease
and suffering and disorder. which
abridges the power of labor and the
span of life, which inflicts misery upon
the innocent and unoffeuding, which
entails expense upon the whole com
munity for the charge OF pauperism
and the punishment OF crime, there car
be no doubt of the right and duty o.
the people to project Themselves
through the power of their government
by the most severe and efectual laws
that can be devised. To deny this Is tc
deny the validity of government itself

Opponents of total abstinence are fond of
arguing that it is bad liquor that does the
mischief that pure wines are not hurtfu |;
and that the true cure for drunkenness is the
universal use Of pure (fermented) grape juice.
In support of this they say that the wine
growing countries of Europe do not suffer the
evils of intemperance The fact is that in
temperance is far more general and ruinous
there than here. The famnes and hard
times " that depopulate Europe are principal
ly caused by inebriety on the part Of the peo-
pie. Throughout most Of Belgium there is
m.shop to every dozen Inhabitants. In
Germany from 1867 to 1877 the number of
saloons increased A per cent. In Ireland
hundreds of persons we're known to take the
-four and potatoes sent over from America for
the relief of the famine sufferers, and sell
them to buy whiskey. Drunkenness, not
high rents, is the curse of Ireland to-day, and
the same is true all over Europe.

A valuable plastic material has been intro
duced 10 Germany for ornamental and other
purposes. Five parts Of sfted whiting are
mixed with solution of one part Of glue,
and, on these two being well worked up into
a paste, proportiouate quantity of Venetian
turpentine is added, iu order to prevent britt
tleness small amount of linseed oil is also
put with the mixture, to obviate its cinging
to the hands, and the mass may be colored by
kneading in any color that may be desired.
The substance thus formed may be pressed
into shapes and used for the production of
bas reliefs and other figures, and may be like
wise worked by hand into modes-the hands
to be rubbed with linseed oil, and the mass to
be kept warm during the process. On becom-
ing cool and dry, which takes place in few
hours, It is as hard as stone.

DEATHS or NEGRO M1NsTRELs.


It Is very remarkable that, notwithstanding
their pecuniary prosperity, most of the Lead
ing nlinstrels have died poor. The burnt-cork
performers have, as rule, led fast lives, and
have, as consequence, used up both their
physical and financial substance prematurely.
Edwin P. Christy, the pioneer of minstrelsy,
founded the original Christy minstrels at Buff.
falo in 1871, and played at Mechanics Hall,
in New York, for several years to crowded
audiences. He made $3.50, 900 at the business;
but met with reverses and lost almost every
thing he possessed. He terminated his career
by leaping from a third story window. His
putatiye son, George N Christy (Harrington),
was the first representative of female parts.
He received large salary, and managed sew
eral companies successfully, but he died in
New York in great poverts-- Dan Bryant
tO'Brien), or Bfyants MINISTRIES, the most
noted of the three brothers, began in 1850,
played twenty years, made a fortune and got
entirely rid of it. After his death, few
years ago. subscriptions were taken up for the
relief of his family. w. W. Newcomb (com bs),
author of the burlesque lecture on woman's
rights and other popular absmdities, visited
England and Germany professionally, had a
snowy cottage at Saratoga, and cut grand
figure in his way. He met the usual fate,
however, and died in New York 10 penury.
II G. Ramsey, Newcomb's partner famous
buffoon and banjoist, had his ups aud downs
like the rest. He became paralyzed. and was
aided by his fellow.showmen until the close of
his wretched days. Sam Sharpley (Sharpe), a
great end-man, was the proprietor of Sharp
ley's minstrels, known as the iron. cads. He
was great card in his day, and made large
fortune which he lost in petroleum aud other
speculations lie died at Providencp r. /.
G.. Swayne Buckley, the creator Of burlesque
OPERA played in New York season after season
to thronged houses. He made and lost two
or three fortunes, but finally died last year in
Quincy, Mass, almost penniless. Eph Horn,
of great note in various troupes in his day,
was so improvident that when he died he left
absolutely nothing--not even enough to pay
for his burial expenses. Members of the pro-
fession saw that he was decently inferred IN
one of the metropolitan cemeteries. Billy
manning, OF Emerson " manning company
also filed his purse and emptied 1t, aud when
he went to his grave in Chicago his friends
paid for his funeral. Billy Morris, of Morris
Brothers, drifted into a luuatic asylum, and
was provided for by his brothers until be died
In Boston. William II. Delehanty was one of
guild, and yet he earned for years $500 week
as a dancer and singer lie was the author
of the once so popular song, "Shoo Fly"

How ITS Young LIGHT WAS SNUFFEp
OUT.--Three years ago Detroit had about
fifty amateur weeklies 10 full blast. One by
one they have succumbed to the chicken pox,
measles, whooping cough and hard times, and
the number yet alive can now be counted on
the fingers of the left hand. The latest failure
occurred yesterday just after the bells had
struck 10 o'clock. An ambitious, perseyering
boy of 10 had established the Twilight in
little second hoor back room beyond the parks
on Woodward Avenue In his issue of twen-
ty. three copies in the forenoon occurred the
following item:
Notis.-tHere is A Read heded Woman in
this Sitty who LickS her Children with the
stove handel. LET her beWair or we Shall
pn Blish Her Main.
The editor Of the Ttoitight was seated in his
SANCTION at the hour named, when a female
entered. She hadn't come TO subscribe nor
was she there to have funeralnotce publish
ed. She didn't look like the president of
female sewing society. No one could read
her errand until she bad locked the door
Then she kicked the press over, upset the
standing galley, knocked the legs from under
the editorial table and laid hands ON the
editor. Being taken by surprise he did not
realize what was going on until he bad been
shaken out of his boots and jammed into the
wood box head first, and ere be had reganed
his editorial composure tho assailant had fed.
Ruin and desolation brooded there. Havoc
and disaster sailed around the room. The
red headed woman who ticks her children with
stove handle bad played smash and left
nothing to begin anew on. No insurance, and
no more TwilSght.
