Temperance at the BaIIot-Box.


WACO, February ll.-Whenever there
is an attempt TO procure legislation pro-
hlbting the sale OF liquors, there is an
cutlery raised, as though it were both =
! new and wrong thing 10 legislate as to
what men may buy and sell. and thOus-
are mlsled by it; but the principle is as
old as government. Both regua ion and
prohibition are recognized rights OF gov
eminent. Upon these rights are based all
tariff enactments, rs well as all laws reniI-
lating the sale Of drugs and poisOns ES-
tabllsh the tact that any article of COM
merce IS dangerous tO'a community. u d il

over which law has always claimed the
right OF COntro', and to any extent necrS-
sary 10 the public safety. There is no lc-
gal, moral or social principle thut can
separate arsenic and alcohol so far as the
rights OF legislative con rol over them are
concerned. The rea ons for prompt and
vigorous enactments concerning them
may be very more pressing in the
one than in the other case: but
the principle is the same. The IT al differ
ences in the two cases are mainly these :
Arsenic kills now and then q single per
son by its careless use, and now and then
a suicide. Ii is dangerous to that extent.
And as there Is no great amount of money
interest involved, there is no outsry. no
combination OF numbers, capital and Ell
fort to prevent legislative control OF its
sale. The law respecting il is universally
satisfactory. Alcoholic liquors kill mill
ions; cause three fouIths OF The worlds

pauperism and crime; bat because great
monied interests are concerned In their
manufacture and sale, every attempt to
put them in the category OF legally con-
trolable products is met by such an inter

fuses the law-making power and. usually
ends in STAYING off all acti IN, or, what is
quite as bad, in paralyzing the laws exec

imperative. Aud then. of course. comes
the cry that ''prohibi ion does not pro-

February Nineteenth.

A telegram received yesterday from
Miss Willard, by w d. Jackson, an
nounces that she will be III Waco on
February 18th and hold a Sunday even
ing meeting for ladies only, and night
meeting for the public. Miss Willard
has achieved considerable distinc-
ton as a temperance worker and
is greeted with large audi
ences wherever she appears. AS we
understand she is not of that vehe-
ment kind who wants to visit dire ven
geance on all who touch the bowl, but
rather of that suggestive, persuasive
class, who point ont the errors and
misery of intoxication, and endeavor to
persuade men and women to forsake
strong drink. We say women, for she
finds those of that sex who need her
help. No doubt she will be greeted on
both occasions by large attendance.

the following:
Then give him grave as broad as the sweep,
OF the tidal waves measureless motion.
Lay him to sleep In the heart of the deep.
Since his heart was rs free as the ocean,
1t was liberty SLAIN that maddened his brain,
To avenge the dead idol he CHI rlshed:

Where the meri-Inaids gay, as they dash thrO'

Shall purple his pale face with kisses
And as the ocean st cams roll from the gulf

Let them mourn him with musical dirgcs
Let the tempest bell toll the response of soul
More sublime than the sound OF Is surges.

THE SMALLPOX SCARE.
Morgan Has a Case Which Is
Pronounced Genuine.

On last Sunday man who appeared
to be rallroader found his way into
Morgan, and short time after arrival
those who had EOticed him saw that he
was out of his head and sick. BY the
next day he was so unwell that he could
not get out, and medical AID had to be
summoned. He kept on growing worse
day after day, and his case seemed to
battle science, either to relieve or dis
cover positively what it was. 1t was,
however, decided that he was suffering
from congestion Of the brain, and out
side of general scare at the start moth
ing more was thought about smallpox
until Friday, when the mans symptoms
began to indicate the presence of that
dread disease. He still remained deliri-
Gus, and small sores began to break out
on his face. These were thought to be
from fever, but yesterday morning, if we
are informed Alright, there was no
longer any doubt about the ma
turn Of the disease, which was admitted
TO be Il case Of genuine smallpox. The
man came from some where in south
western Texas, no doubt from d MeXi-
can locality where they have it the year
around. What the people of Morgan
are gong to do with TINS case we do not
know, but they should at once isolate il
SO that no one, except the physician and
nurse, will come under the in
huence Of the disease, and by all
means every care should be taken
not to let the disease spread
through the county or up and down the
road, for once scattered il may remain in
the county for months, and if so, would
sadly interfere with travel and the pros
perity of the county. By giving every
possible attention to combining the dis
ease to this one case, Morgan will be do
ing herself and the surrounding com
munity a great benefit, for once 1t
spreads it Will be carried backward and
forward. Although assured that il Is
real case, We hope It may be a mild
one and the only one that viii visit Nor
