are two reasons. The first is, SHER-

people in general are asking for az
many as they can get. The original

ONE Of The political superstition
o 1.-THE times aye the Wheeling Regis
Ter, whioh mas been 80 thoroughly
drilled into ;he public mind as to
pass for truth, ia that the Democracy
drink all the whisky.
The majority of Republicans, who
never doubt that substantially all the
morality and sobriety are embraced
In the Republican Party will not be-
lleVe otherwise III regard to whisky
drinking, when the proofs are fur
nishsd. IL will be a rude overturn-
ing OF their long settled faith to tell
them that there is much less liouor
drank III Democratic States and com.
munities, in proportion to popula-
ton, than in Republican States and
communities.
But the facts and figures furnished
from official sources at Washing;on
conclusively establish that the pre-
ponderance of liquor drinking is in
Republican States. The Conmis-
sioner Of Internal Revenue publishes
statistics showing the number and
location OF the retail dealers in lia-
uors in the United States, the mum =
Der OF Wholesale dealers, the number
OF distilleries, and the total proiuc-
ton in gallons for the year ending
July l, 1881, to which is appended
the population Of each State and the
number OF persons to each retail
dealer.
The figures show that there is, tax.
ing the country over, a saloon tc
every 294 people, and that in the
States which voted for GARFIELD.
there is n saloon to every 26O peo-
pie, while in the States which voted
tor HANCOCK there is only one saloon
for every 480 people. 1t is to be re.
marked, toe, that the Southern State,
show a much smaller ratio of saloon,
than the Northern and Western
States.

The i'll feeling between some OF the
regiments on duty in Ireland, cul-
minating in an attack by a part OF
the Eighty eighth, the Connaught
Rangers, upon the Eighty fourth
which Vas recruited in England, is
significant. The Connaughts were
aided by some of the Irish people,
who are likely to infer from this af-
fair that at least they have sympa-

ONE Of the most astounding things
In the religions world is the extra
ordinary growth of the Methodist
Episcopal Church since the opening
OF the present year. The Methodist
has been keeping a careful account
OF the conversions reported by all
the churches which consent to send
their reports. Thus far 1894 of tie
churches have reported that 80 652
persons have been converted since
the Let Of January. This is the more
wonderful in view Of the fact that
there are 1855 Methodist churches.
and that the total number of addi-
tons to them during the year 1881
was only 1892. II conversions and
additions 90 on for the rect OF this
year as they have begun, the increase
will be the most phenomenal or rec
