The workman knows as well as anybody
else that drink is the curse of the world, and
that the path of temptation leads to the door
of the saloon, bat he insists that as long as
he can get nothing better he must take the

hbitionists and Sabbatarians who propose to
shut cut the enjoyments of life from all but
the rich would do we'll to provide better
substitute for the saloons before abolishing
them, and to recognize that even the poor
wage-worker may have some social needs

him to provide for.

A MEETING of the master plumbers has been
held in New York to effect the organization of a
national association, evidently for the purpose
of mutual protection. The general impression
hitherto has been that plumbers as individuals
we're fully able to hold their own against all
corners, but it seems that the only formidable
obstacle encountered by them has been the re-
vikings and contumely heaped' upon them by in
considerable newspapers. This onslaught, so I'M
called for and so wholly undeserved, wac met
by Enoch Remick, Philadelphia man, in a
speech in which me took occasion to unmask the
dangerous and INSCRIPTIONS penny-a-liner He
also inveighed against the sanitary engineer
and expert, though why is hardly plain, since
the latter nearly always prOuounces criminally
faulty any system of plumbing he may he called
upon to inspect. This would be disheartening
to the plumber but for the fact that the same
hand that holds the dagger that stabs him con-
tains also a now silk dress. coach and span and
a trip to Europe. Sporadic plumbers were bad
enough. What Is going to become of society

An Incident of the Beecher Celebration.
Latter in pbiadalnhia Press

Letter in Philadelphia Press
During the tremendous long prayer OF Dr..
Peck. in which he told the Lord all about
Beecher from the egg to the rooster, Mr.
Beecher was seen to get up and leave the
platform. What for? Outside there were at
least 5000 ram jammed men and women anx-
ious to get in. They couldn't The pint pot
almost held quart. So they began to cheer
and indulge in that fine old Yankee custom
of making "the welkin ring" After they had
rung it to their hearts content their sympa-
thies were aroused by a sight of the
old man eloquent. He had heard their rum
pus and knowing how they probably felt

fort to the outsiders. They gave him rous-
ing welcome, and he spoke to them about
five minutes, returning in time to hear DIR.
Peck's amen and amen.
Now you know that's characteristic ana
typical of Beecher. He'll leave the iron
highway to heaven any time to help lame
dog over a stle or to pull blind man out of
ditch. This shocks the clergy, of course,
but what of it. The dogs helped and the
blind delivered, and that's what's the matter
with Beecher's theology.

ABOUT the first of the current month, now
closing, the Indianapolis Journal contained
an editorial paragraph to the effect that the
wheat supply of the country would be
pretty nearly adequate to any prospective
demand, and that the probability of stiff and
booming prices was by no means assured.
To this a number of exceptions. we re taken,
and the Journal was openly charged, by an
esteemed contemporary, of being il the in
terest of the "bears," and the pre-
diction was made that wheat would
be 81. 25 before the end of the month.
At about that time wheat was selling at ID.
Yesterday it was barely 81, difference in quo
tations calling for millions of dollars through
out the country to make margins good.
The Journal is published in the interests of
neither bulls" nor "oears" 1t only at
tempts to point out what it regards as pal
pable facts Had the bulls of four weeks ago
needed the Journals hint they would be
hundreds of thousands of dollars better off
to-day. At best, this dealing" in wheat is
nothing bnt another form of gambling,
and there need be little SYM
pathy felt for any man who,
while seeking to make money out of
the i'll judgment of others, himself gets
squeezed. The fall of fourteen cents per
bushel on the price of wheat means the
financial ruin of many men who have dealt
not in wheat, but in margins Many and
many a man who goes onto the market to
buy wheat, or has another buy or sell for
him, has no business with wheat has no
way to care for as much as a dozen bushels,
and has no interest in wheat whatever, ex-
cept SO far as its price goes up or
down. Sooner or later the smaller
operators get squeezed out, but their
places are speedily filed by Others whose
cupidity is inspired and who hope to get
wealth through the jugglery of the call
board. Outsiders should let margins"
alone; keep hands of, and attend to legiti-
mate business You may not get rich so fast,
and you may not become beggared so soon,
or wake up to the fact that you have unin-
tentionally become a thief in the hope OF
being able soon to replace funds borrowed"
to make margins good for a few
days, until the market turns" These are
rough terms, and will doubtless hurt;
but they are true ones, nevertheless. If any
man has gone into margins simply as a
speculation, without the intention of &C
tually buying the grain, and has come out
ahead in the IDEAL" he can rest assured that
every dollar OF his gains has come out of the
pockets of less fortunate men, and for aught
he knows, his good luck has been the ruin,
financially, physically and morally of some
one OH the other side of the market. To
conscientious man, gambling in grain or pro-
duce will pay no better than gambling with
cards or dice.

The ARGUS learns anihoritatively this
morning that a republican alderman. who
is officially Connected with one of orr larg-
est manufacturing establishments, going
from house to house of the democratic
employees thereof and endeavoring to in
timidate them into the support of the
republican ticket Last fall the ARGUS
showed up this contemplate method of
campaigning with such effect as to send
the gentleman engaged IN it on a midwin-
ter voyage up Salt river. OF all the
questionable methods of influencing votes
that of making the poor laboring man feel
that his position is contingent upon cast
ing his vote for any particular candidate
fer office is, in our judgment. trifie the
meanest, whether practiced by democrat
or republican. Give the poor man of
either party the right to vote for whom
he pleases, no matter whether
that vote be cast in favor
of or against your particular
candidate. 1t is undeniably his right
When you employed that man. Mr. Su-
perintendent, you did not ask him
whether he was democrat or republi-
can but whether he knew how to handle
tools properly. In the army it was not
customary for the boys who touched
elbows" to make the test of friendship
ones party affiliations, and when the
common foe was in sight political differ
ences. if any existed, were forgotten, and
the charge was made.
The laboring man or mechanic, who is
paying taxes on his little all has as in
alienable a right to select those who are
to receive and pay out his taxes as the
millionaire living in brown stone
front Both are alike interested
in an honest, frugal and business like
administration of municipal affairs and
words of condemnation cannot be found
which are strong enough to apply to the
men who would deprive the poor man of
this right, while not daring to approach
the rich man on the same errand.
AS remarked at the outset republican
alderman is to-day engaged in this work,
a man from whom we had right to ex-
pect something different. Should he per-
sist in thus attempting to drive laboring
men and mechanics to the political wall
We shall certainly hear of it and shall un-
cover him to this community. If he be
wise he will at once refrain from such nm
clean work from this day forward.
