Liquor Decentralization and Perjury.

Senator Wilson of Iowa, advocating the
adoption of constitutional prohibition in
Iowa, says Adopt the amendment, and
no man can establish saloon in the state
without creating the legal presumption that
he is a violator of the law. This will create
very different conditions from those which
vex us now. Now saloon is lawful pre-
sence, except in those cities and towns that
have enacted prohibitory ordinance. And
while we know that the saloon-keepers, who
have the right to sell ale, wine and beer, are
constantly violators of the law by sales of
other intoxicating liquors, still the presump-
ton is that they are innoncent of criminal
conduct in this regard the presumption is
that they obey the law. This presumption
must be overcome by proof. You all know
how difficult of accomplishment this is Men
who pass for good citizens in most, if not all
other respects, prevaricate, not to use a
harsher term, when called before grand or
traverse jury to testify relative to their
knowledge of the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
Men who have bought, paid for, and drank
whiskey in saloons will pretend not to know
whether it was whiskey or wine. They will
call for wine as pretext, receive whiskey,
drink it, and know Just what it was, and
yet pretend on oath before grand jury OF
in court to be unable to tell what it was.
This thing happens as frequently as your
courts transpire. This is fearful strain
upon manhood, dreadful tax upon mans
moral nature, and wearing friction on his
self.respect. Men who repeat it, as many
do, go from bad to WORSE until at last their
moral foundations become 80 badly shat
tered that they must finally lose all appre

Let Rum Pay Its Own Bills.

The dozen or two of men who were so un-
fortunate IS TO be obliged TO brave the heat
and appear in the Winchester county court
room " sterday morning, were witnesses OF
a scene which, though pathetic, moved
nearly all TO intense indignation. An old
man eighty-two years of age had been sum-
moned by the overseers of the poor OF the
town of Portchester, who wanted him to
provide for drunken, worthless son thirty
years of age. The defendant claimed, and
no one disputed it, that his income was not
sufficient to maintain the family dependent
upon him, among whom were blind son
and daughter subject to fits. With chok-
ing utterance he tried to tell how much he
had done for the drunken son " hose main
tenance the town was trying to avoid.
Judge Clifford controlled the feeling with

for son who, but for rum, could and would

tators applauded as loudly as he dared, be-
hind an open copy of the Herald, and the
lawyers who were accustomed to some of
the severe DEGREES of the law said, one to
another, that the Judges logic was unan-
swerable. Rum should pay its own bills for
damages to society, and towns that license
the sale of rum should be compelled to sup

The Swiss Goodnight.

Among the lofty mountains and elevated
valleys of Switzerland, the Alpine horn has
another use besides that of sounding the
far-famed RAM des Vaches, or Cow Song
and this is of very solemn and impressive
nature. When the sun has set in the valley,
and the snowy submits of the mountain S
CLEAN with golden light, the herdsman who
dwells upon the highest habitable spot takes
his horn, and pronounces clearly and loudly
through it, as through speaking-trumpet,
Praise the Lord Godl" As soon as the
sound is heard by the neighboring herdsmen,
they issue from their huts, take their Alpine
horns, and repeat the same words. This
frequently lasts a quarter of an hour, and
the call resounds from all the mountains and
rocky cliffs around. Silence at last settles
over the scene. All the herdsmen kneel and
pray with uncovered heads. Meantime. il
has become quite dark. Goodnight /" at
last calls the highest herdsman through his
horn. " Goodnight !" again resounds from
all the mountains, the horns of the herds

Nine Thousand Licenses.

The Ciy Record publishes in detail a list
of the liquor licenses granted in this city
during the year ending on the Both Of April
last. The total is 9,075, and the receipts
S510,41l. There is probably sufficient
number which are not licensed to bring up
the aggregate TO the round figure Of 10000.
This prodigious curse can be removed only
by the legislature of the state. And we
venture to say that there is no question in
politics or finance, in trade or commerce,
so important for the welfare of this city as
this very matter of licensing the grogshops.
The Christian citizens of the city and state
should take the matter in hand, and spend
the entire autumn in securing such legis-
lature as we have not had for many years,
one that will wisely, conscentiously, and
faithfully legislate on the liquor question.
We have not in this state public senti-
ment that will support and enforce a pro-
hibitory law, if one should be enacted, but
we are advancing in that direction. There
is, however, deep and intelligent convic-
ton that the liquor traffic imposes on the
community the great bulk of its taxes for
the support of paupers and the punishment
of crime. The government is bound to
spare the people these burdens, and that it
can do by abolishing the cause. Governor
st. John of Kansas declares that =" the rail
roads are selling twice as much land as at
any time for five years past, and school
lands, with the choicest taken up years ago,
are now selling at the rate of 300 acres per
day, while in 1880 the rate was but 151
acres per day." He predicts that in fifteen
years the prohibitory law will be national
one, "but it is hard" says the Evening Post,
"to see why we should have to wait as long
as that for it. The advocates of prohibit
ticn have generally contented themselves
with undertaking to show that, by stopping
the sale of liquor, crime would be di-
minished and the prisons emptied; but if it
has an immediate effect upon the real estate
Market it seems idle TO go on accommodating
prison statistics on the subject. The TAX
ing up of the public land might, of course,
be attributed to increased emigration but
then why do the emigrants come? I'm
doubtedly because the Germans, and Nor
wegians, and English, and Irish have all
heard that Kansas is prohibitory state.
Either way the argument is complete.

WHAT can the Christian church do To
promote the prohibition of the liquor traffic 7
Much more than it ever has done. For
strong as the liquor interest is the church
is stronger; and if not in numbers and
wealth, in moral power. With but little
effort and no concerted action, the churches
of this country have created a public senti.
ment that makes the traffic disreputable
Dealers acknowledge and deplore the exist
ence of sentiment which regards them as
the enemies of society, not SO much because
of the personal disgrace it fixes upon them
as because their " craft is in danger of being
set at naught." This is decided advance
upon the time, within the easy memory OF
men now living, when deacons were distil
lers and preachers drank ad libitum.
